12 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wading River

“Had lunch here today. These were some of the best tacos I've ever had. Highly recommend. Very nice staff, excellent service.“

“As usual the food and drinks were delicious. Unfortunately the waiter was rude. He screwed up my order. Then came over and twice asked me to admit I ordered something I didn’t. The waitresses were nice as always. Nothing was done by him. He did not apologize. Did not even offer to comp a drink or something. Not that I was looking for something free. He didn’t care. Really sad. At least the waitresses apologized.“

“I came in today for the first time, as I moved a little while before it was built. The woman at the front was extremely helpful in giving me suggestions, and you could tell they actually enjoy the food they serve. And they should, because I got home and bit into the taco and immediately put this place down as a go to spot going forward lol.“

“Got 3 tacos combo, double rice, and a side of guac. With tip it was 15$ - amazing price.

Top-tier service, great cashier.

Guac is great, pork taco was great. Chicken taco was super dry and nasty. Steak taco was okay.

Rice was straight mushy. Could be from the drive home though.

My main issue is the sauce, asked for the spiciest they had and it didn’t have a hint of spice. It tasted sweet, a mild sauce from Taco Bell is spicier.

Really confused by it, my girlfriend who can’t handle pepper said it was good and had a “little kick to it”. She can’t even handle green Tabasco without freaking out… I NEED ME SOME HEAT MIGUEL!“

“My best friend she from Guatemala she brought me a mangoleada to work. It was delicious. I'd never tried this before. It was something different. I coming from Spain never try before I liked it. I'll come back for another one ☺️🤭“

“Me encantan las quesadillas mexicanas de hongos con queso!!!! Super rico todo!“

“Absolutely delicious 🤤 was given a sample of the chicken bacon ranch today(they just gave me as a bonus 😍) it was really perfect. I also picked up some other special slices and they are just as good. All the staff is above and beyond polite and such a beautiful team. We always feel welcome and full. They are fast and have great pizza!“

“Hands down the best Mexican place in the area. Flavorful, authentic food at a great price point. The chicken tinga tostadas were excellent and extremely flavorful. You cannot leave this place without getting a churro. It’s the best churro that I’ve had outside of Mexico. Could not recommend this place more!“

“This is great, we've been going to their other restaurant in East Moriches for many many years. Now we have the option to go here when we shop in Riverhead. Excellent traditional Mexican cooking and menu. This location retained the liquor license from the former Golden Jalapeño So they have a bar and you can get a beer or mixed drinks with or without a meal! Outstanding!!! Can't wait to go back soon!“

“I stumbled upon this place and I'm glad I did it's not the nicest part of coram but don't let that scare you off the food was made fresh the cook was fantastic and helped me choose because I told him I'm Irish and not familiar with Spanish food only taco bell fast food. He made me delicious mouth watering FRESH chicken tacos. I'm looking forward to the next meal he makes me. Give them a try I'm so glad I did and with taco bell opening in coram it would be a shame if you didn't try this place and only ate taco bell you would be missing out on something ?“

“Even though our son is a professional chef and we think of ourselves as "foodies," we have only limited experience with Caribbean cuisine. That's going to change, because we will absolutely go back to Taino's to explore more of the menu. We went around 6-ish on a Monday night to celebrate my birthday, and the only other patrons were at the bar. They appeared to be regulars, and the vibe was warm and casual. Coconut shrimp is one of my guilty pleasures and I order it every time I see it on a menu. Tainos' was quite possibly the best I've ever had: enormous shrimp coated in batter and flaked coconut, fried to crispy perfection and served with a to-die-for coconut dipping sauce. I'm also a skirt steak junkie, so ordered the Churrasco al la Parrilla which is served with a large serving of rice, bowl of red beans and chimichurri sauce, all presented beautifully, complete with an orchid. I was so full from the shrimp, I took nearly all of my entree home. Our lovely waitress (also the bartender) packed up my leftovers so they were just as attractive and appetizing the next day. Everything, including the steak, reheated perfectly. Granted, at my age I have a small appetite, but I'll be finishing the second (!) half of my steak, rice and beans tonight (night #3). Our son ordered the chicken Canasta de Platano (plantain 'baskets') appetizer and grudgingly gave me only a tiny (delicious) taste. Husband ordered fried cheese, and ate a whole piece even before I could take a photo. Again, I was allowed only one bite, but know I'll order my own the next time we're there. He also ordered the skirt steak, but our son tried the Colombian platter (steak, avocado, pork cracklings, fried egg, rice and more), which he loved. He gave me the sweet corn cakes which I devoured. Can't wait to try "mofungo," which seems to be a signature dish. The oxtails look fabulous, too.“

“Always good food at Moe’s but I really like all the genuine smiles at this location“
