“Omg spicy mayo on a burrito? Yes!! Everything’s great, steak is the best anywhere. Good portion and prices Accommodating and very nice staff What can I say. I eat here 2-3 times a week Ask for the spicy shrimp!!“

“Very nice inviting decor. Service was just ok. The server was basic, didn’t tell us it was happy hour? Nor did she mention and food selections. For a new establishment I guess I was expecting a bit more … maybe ask if we had been there before? Check back to see how our food was( it was outstanding), we got more help from the water girl Had to ask to clear table. Had to ask for check from the water girl? The server had much support. Seems she took our order and disappeared. But the server assistants were on point. Dinner was really good. We will go back… because of the food. Even the manager walked pasted us a dozen times. There were 6 tables.. perfect time for manager to mingle… just saying. Place is very nice, great menu too. Just left feeling ignored. Nice music too. Maybe the server was having a bad day? Like I said we will go again !!! Great food.“

“Go here immediately. Rocco’s is one of our favorite restaurants!! The food is beyond good we’ve been to every location in Florida and this is our 4th time to this location!! Thank god they opened in NY!!! I’m celiac and they truly take such good care of me everytime we come. Our waitress Sam is literally the best and so personable. We came here when they first opened to celebrate my birthday and since then, we ask for her everytime we come in!! If you’re gluten free, get the wings they’re the best I’ve ever had. Tastes even better when the service is great. I’m in the restaurant industry as well so having a great server truly makes the experience 10x better.“

“This is my first time ordering food from Fat Boys Burrito for my meetings (grilled chicken burritos, bang ban shrimp tacos, guacamole & chips). Their food is absolutely delicious. The variety of dishes offered, quality service and presentation is exceptional! I will definitely be ordering again. Thanks Tony and team!“

“First time dining here and overall a really solid experience. The food was enjoyable — the lemon orzo soup was comforting, the lamb gyro taco had great flavor, and the chicken kebab skewers was cooked well. Drinks were a standout, especially the dirty raspberry martini, which was excellent.

The vibe is casual and relaxed. There were a couple small service hiccups, but nothing that took away from the meal. Overall, we enjoyed it and would definitely come back again.“

“We came here on a thurs even around 6pm...Was pretty crowded but got a table in the middle..The sound level is pretty high at 3/4 capacity but somehow you seem to flow with it because of the atmosphere... People enjoying good mex food are more enjoyable to be around for some reason..anyway...lighting as with most place is difficult to read menu but once the order was in,alot of fun...I noticed the food to be very FRESH...I immediately tasted that in the beans on my Mexican special and the Flautas,chimichanga etc were all delicious stuffed and perfectly cooked!..Fajita steak was so nicely marinated and charred but med inside..Perfect!..Wait staff were all very pleasant....I enjoyed my visit and will defin visit during a slow day,maybe lunch for a lil more quiet....“

“Food was outstanding, just finished my meal and had to write a review. Hidden gem as another said. Probably ordering again Sunday.“

“Right Coast Taqueria provided our lunch for our Teacher Appreciation week in Smithtown. The faculty raved about the food and presentation!! They accommodated food allergies. Great business to work with!!“

“Have ordered many times from Ole’s. The food is delicious and service friendly and warm. Today, decided to eat in so we could try the nachos crispy and warm in the store. They were amazing!!! The other items were also great, my kids loved all of it. At the end, we had a chance to meet one of the owners, Manny. He was very friendly and warm, chatted with my boys and then surprised them with a warm churro. Needless to say, we’ll be coming back even more frequently now. Yum yum yum.“

“The restaurant food is really great, we had the shrimp ceviche , tortilla soup, wagu steak, rib eye tacos, kids had burger and chicken fingers. Flavours were delicious, very unique and the food was fresh and tasty f good quality . Service was great Brian was super friendly . The resto acoustics are a little loud but we moved into front part which was better . They even have a waterfront patio !“

“The food is great but when you get take out .. no container is closed. I had to close my meals. The foil one was a sabotage cause goodness if I didn’t catch that my food would’ve spilled! The plastic container wasn’t closed I snapped it closed so .. please be aware when you package the food.“

“Never disappoints Great portions and staff Love the music and the atmosphere food comes out fast and hot love the decorations in the place overall a great experience“

“We just ordered here for the first time and the food was amazing ! The grilled buffalo chicken wrap was delicious! The breaded buffalo chicken wrap and avocado corn salad were huge hits as well.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Staff was beyond friendly and helped me with some suggestions since it was my first visit. Everything was so good and I really liked that the protein you picked was cooked fresh right in front of you. There are so many things I didn't get that I want to try. Will definitely be back.“

“Fantastic authentic flavorful food“

“So authentic and great service! The worry dolls were an added bonus as I was there with my daughter. Perfect birthday, love the philanthropy also! Guacamole was the best I’ve ever had.“

“This place was awesome! The atmosphere was definitely one for the books. The Margarita flight was sooooo good along with the food. The customer service was definitely top notch. Everyone was smiling and had a positive attitude. Constantly checking in to make sure you're doing okay. 10 Stars, will be returning“

“great food, fun atmosphere and great music!“

“Wow what a fantastic find! We decided to try this new Mexican place, and it did not disappoint. Every single dish was packed with flavor. The tamale was perfectly moist and savory, and the taco Pescadero was fresh and perfectly seasoned. We also devoured the steak quesadilla, which was cheesy and full of tender steak. Don't even get me started on the empanadas—both the chili empanada and the chicken and cheese empanada were phenomenal. We can't wait to go back and try more!“

“What an awesome restaurant! Have been dying to try the new Mesita in Amityville. The decor is so beautiful inside, love the high ceilings and lighting. Went for a special birthday dinner and had a wonderful time. The food, margarita flight and service were all outstanding! Such a fun atmosphere, perfect for a romantic dinner or girls night out. Cannot wait to go back.“

“Best Delivery Food Around! Food is always hot, delivery is extremely quick, people are great and the food is the BEST!!!!“

“I found this after my midnight workout driving down DPA coming home from the gym. Little pricey(but what isnt) but all in all, the food was down right delicious. Then a week later, I got a craving for it again. Mix and match what you want in the wraps or bowl, LIttle of this , little of that, put that sauce here on the side. The hot salsa has a kick.“

“❤ My husband and I love Curbside in South Hempstead. Their crunchwraps are big enough to share. Our favorite is the Cowboy Crunchwrap with extra sauteed onions. I could eat only this for the rest of my life, provided, of course, we have sour cream!“

“I’m obsessed with the new team at Nelly’s. Alba and her team are whipping up delicious food that we can’t get enough of. If you’re looking for well made Mexican, you have to give Nelly’s a shot.“

“Restaurante familiar, Rica comida 🌮“

“Love it there always a good time“

“No one was in the restraurant. A mexican restraurant empty on a Tues. I was skeptical but ate anyway. Food was great. Just apps but we were both pleased. 2 for 1 drinks as well. Only complaint was that we decided to pay cash after reading a credit card incident in the past“

“Great place. Food is tasty. Adam who works there is super helpful and friendly. Whenever I see Adam, he is smiling and personable and caring. Adam rocks!“

“Excellent quality, excellent service, guac is not extra!

They treat you with respect and dignity. When you order triple chicken, they give you triple. They do not scrimp.

This is the only Mexican chain restaurant that I will go to. The other one's portions are disrespectfully small.

QDoba gets an A+“

“Hands down the best authentic Mexican food in the area! The staff is so kind and helpful, and they deliver!! I don’t live around the area but I work in Lindenhurst and I’ve struggled to find authentic Mexican food and I am so glad I found this place!“

“This place was great I tried it today and i had no complaints what so ever, I’ve read the reviews and honestly i think it’s the customers who last out on the resturant for not telling the resturant how they want it because the service here is amazing from the cooks down to the front desk workers, when i requested a specific order to be chosen to my liking they went through with it. I would recommend this again and again, Amazing resturant“

“I love this place. The food is so Fresh and Delicious and most importantly consistent. The owner and staff are very accommodating and there are plenty of Veg. Options.“

“Picked up lunch and it was delish!!! Thank you!!! Queso is fantastic!“

“Some of their food is not the same and I noticed that it’s on certain days when they have the younger ones working in the kitchen. They need to have quality control when the more experienced cooks are not working..“

“awesome menu items great service“

“First time there and the food and the staff were great. Bear tacos and the margaritas were excellent. Definitely will be back.“

“The tacos, the nachos, the burritos, the quesadillas, this is the place you never knew you needed!! By the way they have more yummy choices, I just haven’t gotten through them yet!!“

“I can't say enough good things about the staff at this location. Yesterday my daughter was car sick in the parking lot before we even came in, staff came out and checked on us, brought her water. so sweet! food was great! staff amazing! definitely recommend!“

“Every time I go to this restaurant, I am greeted warmly by staff that are genuinely happy. The food is always perfect and delicious and prepared the way I like it. The restaurant is always clean and the food is always fresh. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“good food , quick service“

“The food is good. As long as you go before 5pm, you can get a 9.99 burrito meal which includes a drink. That price does not include shrimp or steak, or queso. The burritos are huge so it could feed two people of a smaller appetite. The quality of ingredients are also good. Great alternative to Chipotle.“

“It’s a small local place for a quick Mexican - no table service, just order at counter and use the table/seating to eat on your own. Not much for ambiance but great for takeouts. Food is fresh and good and reasonable. They have self serve sauces from mild to hot. Horchata is great.“

“Love the food obviously 🙄 love the location delicious 😋“

“Great Food, exceptional service and margaritas to die for! Our group of four has been dying to find a good Mexican restaurant (we have tried many)and 5 De Mayo did not disappoint. From our server, to our "Guacamole Girl" to the owner Roberto who came to our table to check in and offer dessert and/or a shot (free of charge), we could not have found a better hidden gem. We will not have to try another Mexican Restaurant as long as 5 De Mayo is around!“

“This place has quickly become one of our go-to spots. The food is seriously worth every penny. Everything tastes fresh, full of flavor, and the portions are solid. My boyfriend is from California and he’s pretty picky about Mexican food, but he says this is the closest he’s had to back home. That alone says a lot.

It’s the kind of spot you try once and then it just becomes part of your regular rotation. Definitely recommend if you’re craving something satisfying and legit.“

“This place is great for authentic Mexican food. I ordered a chorizo taco and Cubana sandwich. My friend ordered a couple tacos and and a tostada. (See photos)On a Sunday afternoon it was very busy, which I didn't really expect, but I took it as a good sign. My friend that took me there has been there several times, it is currently her favourite taco spot ??“

“Literally the greatest food I’ve ever eaten, ever. Full stop. I’ve been a loyal customer since high school, and through college, living overseas and living out of state, Gold Mine is a must visit whenever I’m in town. If I were about to be executed, my last meal would be: Cajun chicken quesadilla, chips with melted cheddar, lemon chip sauce, and Dave’s pico de gallo. A little guac and sour cream on the side but honestly the pico and lemon chip are more important. The food is SO good that guac is an afterthought. Usually guac is the first thing people consider when having Mexican. My biggest fear is that Dave will retire. I wish he’d write a cookbook. My only “complaint,” if you can call it that, is that it’s primarily a takeout joint, although there are tables and you’re totally welcome to sit there and eat. I’m a sucker for ambience and I’d happily pay top dollar for waitstaff and charm out the wazoo so I can sit there with friends and have a full dining experience. Regardless, none of this changes the fact that it’s the best food in the galaxy.“

“I cannot believe I lived in west Babylon for 7 years and only tried this place 2 years ago. I passed by so many times. The food is fantastic and my wife and I keep going back for more. Try the burbon chicken with anything. It’s not a dine in place, so just take out and I promise you will be back. Food is affordable and I highly recommend their taco salad that’s served in a crunchy bowl…. Or their nachos!“

“Hesitate to write as it's a very small place and we don't want it to get out that this place is FANTASTIC. Owner and his staff are so nice, the food is excellent, and the space is small and intimate. So happy to have this place in my town!“
