Curbside Mexican Grill - South Hempstead

Best Tacos on Long Island

best mexican place on the island, wish they had one out east too!

I was driving down Long Beach Road in Hempstead when I stopped at a red light. The wife and I, both, noticed an edifice with a color sign that said Curbside (Mexican Grill). We were both hungry, so we parked the car and went inside. As I've stated in previous reviews, I do appreciate a welcoming host as it makes the whole dining experience, at least to me, a bit more memorable. Our host this day, pretty stoic, but hey not everyone is Bob Barker (I aged myself)!

The decor is colorful and inviting-- Mexican motif.

The important thing is the food, right? I ordered a Al Pastor bowl and my wife had the fit fajita bowl. The bowls were pleasantly tasteful and fulfilling. Our picky daughter ate every spoonful we gave her. The deserts were also very creative and delicious. We had the rainbow cake empanada and the apple pie empanada. They came out straight out of the oven (?).

I liked that there was a wall where one can donate food to the less fortunate. It's very kind.

Also, the gentlemen who cook in the back let my daughter and wife use the restroom. They were very friendly towards her and I appreciate that. While I waited for them to come out, I chatted with the gentleman from Honduras and he shared his enjoyment making tasty food.

I give the food a 4/5 as I need to return again to taste the other dishes. (wifey wanted me to add that the food came out quickly).

This place is great. Good simple food. A go to place for me at least once a week. Never disappoints, always consistent, cool staff.

There was little too no protien. Shrimp was tiny, looked like the smallest shrimp ever. There were maybe 12 of the smallest pieces of food that I ever paid $20 for.

the guys here are really friendly and the chef cooks AMAZING FOOD! stop by if you get the chance

Probably the worst Mexican I’ve had to date. My quesadillas was cold. The tacos I received had very little to no flavor. I specifically mentioned I wanted extra sauces on the side (said it twice to the guy) & when I got home there were no sauces.

Fat boys in bellmore is much better quality and I will be going there from now on.

We ordered the Fat Anthony, Mac n’ Cheese, street corn and a couple of tacos.

The Mac had zero flavor. Blandest restaurant Mac I’ve ever had.

Fat Anthony came without Curbside sauce even though we requested it. Without the sauce the ingredients also had zero flavor.

The street corn in a cup must of had added sugar because it was sickly sweet and the opposite of fresh.

The tacos were ok.

Altogether, a $50 mistake that we won’t be repeating.

I most usually order the same thing because it’s my favorite but recently the quality has really gone done the portion is the same which is really good for the price but what’s the point if the quality isn’t there. I ordered the maui waui crunch wrap which the first time I got it it was amazing loved it but I recently got one and I was upset the rice was hard and undercooked which is upsetting because the rice is a main part of the dish and the steak and shrimp were overcooked, overall the quality was just upsetting
