23 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Smithtown

“Port Washington: Had take out (soft shrimp tacos, carne asada enchiladas) last evening. Yum will have again...“

“This is our go-to restaurant, what a gem. Delicious food, super friendly people, and Juan makes the best margaritas that I have ever had! We highly recommend this spot, make sure you try one of their specials.“

“Best around, hands down.
Maria has put a lot of resources into the place to create the ultimate dining experience. The tapas nights are top notch. The gambas, black bean soup, beef nachos and fajitas are not to be beat by anyone. We stop regularly and are always delighted. Highly recommend. So many margarita variations we can't even count them all.“

“I had been to this location before and the service wasn't the best. I wanted to give it another chance and went there yesterday, Sunday. There was a new girl at the counter. She is very attentive and friendly. That changed my perspective. Thanks to her, I will be back. Chicos Tex-Mex, that girl is fast and very helpful.“

“I went to Chicos last night and had the Birria Tacos, Chicken/Birria Chalupas, and the Queso Blanco. Everything was AMAZING!! I wish I took a tub of the Queso home with me. One of the best parts was listening to the staff in the back laughing and having a good time. I wish I lived closer. I already warned my husband I'll most likely pick up more work assignments in the Commack area just so I can come back and pick up some Chicos :)“

“I am totally disappointed in my dining experience tonight. I have been to this location numerous times. This visit was mayham. There was no one at the front desk to seat people. Got seated and sated I was ready to order. I gave my order and asked for everything to come out together. This didn't happen I got queso and had no chips, I literally had to go most of the way in nyo the kitchen to get them. The manager Craig was rude when talking the my about my experience. I will not be back!“

“We come here often for lunch. The buffalo and Vanessa burritos are our favs plus the quesadillas are the best around and huge. This review is specifically about catering order I placed over the weekend. We made a very last minute order for a taco party pack and Avocados went out of their way to accommodate. The food was great and large portions as always.“

“Their queso is life. One of our favorite places to go!“

“I brought a small group of developmentally disabled adults to Moe's in Centereach for dinner. The staff were patient with them and helpful too . All of the food was good. There was a nice variety of drinks from the Coke Freestyle machine, plus a machine for iced tea, which I like.“

“You can not beat this food. Cost value best Mexican / post gym meal around. Thank you so much for the great food and service“

“Shout out to Avocado’s of Bayport! I placed a very last minute catering order which they delivered within 1 1/2 hours! The food was delicious and their party package is a good deal. Thank you Nelson for accommodating us and for a crowd pleasing lunch. We will definitely be ordering from you again.“

“I did Texas Taco in Sayville and jad their food truck the summer prior to COVID hit and it was great! They pulled right up to house for a few hours, you can pick from different plan options and prices. If I remember correctly I think I picked an option that had up to 40 people even though I had 30 to be safe incase anyone else extra stopped by. We picked out some menu items with the owner ahead of time to be served. We set a time slot( thenowner came with truck like an hour early to prep food and get ready ahead if my start time and each guest was able to go back and forth to the truck as many times as they wanted within the few hours the truck was hired to be here. Great service( the owner and one other guy worked the truck the whole time they were here) everything made to order fresh and very good. Nothing but compliments from all my guests that day. I tipped at end and even tho I did a final tip some guests were so impressed a few threw them a few bucks during one of their many trips to the truck in my driveway that day too, even though i said I tipped they were so satisfied they wanted to top a few dollars too. It was deeelish!“

“4 stars - It’s definitely a good place to eat and their burritos are pretty good and don’t leave you feeling bloated and disgusted with yourself. However, I’ve noticed lately there is inconsistency with quality. It depends on who’s working and it’s noticeable that the younger staff are just there to get a paycheck. I hope management prioritizes quality and consistency moving forward. I would still recommend patronizing since overall the food is good and staff are friendly and accommodating.“
