“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.“

“The food was delicious. I ordered a grilled chicken taco and classic beef taco. The food was the perfect temperature and the seasoning with sour cream on top was great. It was a buy one get one free promotion from Ubereats.
I did not dine inside but I did a pick up for my order and the cashier was pretty quick and friendly during the brief interaction.“

“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!“

I own a restaurant so I know how things go sometimes but pls .. consistency is key ...“

“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!!“

“the food was good, but they need a better air filter system the smell of burning isn't appealing while you eat. the place was clean, the servers were great. it was just another version of taco bell mixed with chipotle. but this is just my VYI's keeping it real view,we enjoyed the bowls, plenty of food in each. we will go back next month to try their salad.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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..“

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

“Restaurante familiar, Rica comida 🌮“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great local restaurant with a ton of options on the menu. The food was unanimously amazing, the service was pleasant, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. My wife and I split the Bandeja Paisa platter and it was so much food we had a full serving left over to bring home. My toddler’s cheese quesadilla was delicious. Looking forwards to eating here again soon!“

“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 ??“

“this was my second time there and enjoyed the food and the strawberry margarita. Their guacamole is the best ever! The lady's room was very bright and clean. The manager Manuel was gracious and pleasant. Looking forward to going there again“

“I first tried Porky Cochinita after being recommended by my brother. Let me tell you how amazing this place was, and from great tasting food to amazing service it was all the best. I called about an order for 30 people and actually messed up the date of the order. And I went into panic mode, but they handled it like professionals without making me feel bad about my huge error! I received stellar service when I called and initially placed my order. And great communication via text. I will not hesitate to use them in the future and they handled my catering order so well. I cater food a lot and have had varied experiences, and this has been one of the best. If you love tacos, burritos, etc this is your place!! Don’t hesitate, just do it!“

“I’ve tried Qdoba maybe once or twice before, and it’s always good - but the STAFF at this specific location, especially the lady by the casher was over-the-top helpful, friendly, and patient.

She acted like a caring business owner and not just a paid employee - amazing.

She helped us download the app, and even offered us a bag to carry our leftovers when she noticed we were carrying individual containers of leftover food out - proactive and genuinely caring!

Will stop in again just for the red carpet treatment, to say nothing of the amazing food!

Oh, and Chipotle diehards: guac is free here!“

“Son ricas las Tortas y los tacos 🌮, se los recomiendo 😋😋😋“

“great food and strong drinks !! love this place“

“Nice place and attendants“

“A Hidden Gem in Huntington Station!
La Hacienda is more than just a restaurant – it’s a full experience. The food is absolutely delicious, with rich, authentic Latin flavors that make you feel at home. We tried the tacos, wings, and quesadillas during Happy Hour and everything was top-notch. The tamarind margarita? Next level! 🍹🔥

The vibe is lively and welcoming during the day, and at night it transforms into a full-on party with DJs, great music, and amazing energy. The bartenders are friendly, professional, and truly add to the atmosphere.

We also love that they offer affordable lunch specials and even have a deli takeout option for busy days. Whether you’re coming to eat, celebrate, or dance the night away, La Hacienda is the place to be.
Highly recommended – this spot never disappoints!“

“Great food. Centereach location is where I go frequently. Staff is great.“

“I get lunch from Vallarta at least once a week for several years now. The staff is friendly and the food is consistently delicious, with a larger menu than your typical fast-mexican spot. Strongly recommend skipping the chains and giving these folks a try!“

“Checked them out today. I tried the steak taco...it was absolutely delicious ! Staff was friendly, restaurant is clean everything's was fresh . Definitely worth checking out“

“Every time I come to this restaurant everyone is so nice!!! The food is absolutely delicious and I have yet to have a bad meal. They had closed down the burrito mariachi by my house and came here because my boyfriend lives nearby. This is by far one of my favorite Mexican restaurants around! The loaded nachos and tacos are the best! Today I got a taco salad and it was delicious!!“

“The food here is amazing, like actually some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Just be warned that the online ordering system on their website is not connected in store, they will not receive your order and you will have to re-order in store. Also none of the employees speak English, but that’s pretty expected for anywhere with authentic delicious Mexican food!“

“On every visit, the staff has been attentive and friendly and, on some occasions, have gone above and beyond to accommodate. I stopped by to take advantage of a promotion they were running for their 1 year anniversary, I had driven by several times on this day, and they had lines out the door each time, when I finally stopped in to take advantage, the staff was still friendly despite having been run ragged all day. Kudos to the team for enduring what was surely an exhausting day! Keep up the good work, team!“

“Stopped by unexpectedly to grab a drink (i got a horchata) and ended up coming back an hour later for lunch. Im not even a big fan of horchata but this one was the best I’ve ever had. The food was also top tier and everything was so affordable!! A new favorite. Also- i think this place also goes by yessenias deli for some reason? It pops up on google maps by both names. The lady working didn’t seem to speak much English but she was super lovely and we managed to communicate just fine. Great service and good food ?“

“Food was delicious and the service was great. We have been there twice and planing to make it a regular restaurant for weekend dinners. Highly recommend you try it out.“

“I’ve only ever used Uber eats to order my food, but I will say I always enjoyed a hot, delicious meal from Mamey. I will definitely continue to order from them.

I always get steak in my orders and I really like it. A few things I’ve had and loved are the steak taco salad with a side of guacamole & the steak tortas with a side of chipotle sauce. Both are so delicious. The tortas travel pretty well but the bread does get a bit soggy, even so it’s so delicious. The taco bowl never disappoints.
Also we love the Tres leches and Horchata! Definitely appreciate you mamey!!“

“the pineapple salsa is phenomenal not as good as the avocado salsa which they took away and it makes me so upset because it was my favorite but I'm so glad they have the pineapple salsa now it is my favorite it is amazing I take home at least10 of the to-go cups every time I go there and ask for extra chips they're amazing I'm going to enjoy laying in bed tonight eating my chips and pineapple salsa thank you“

“I heard about this place from a friend and I decided to make the trip to see if it is worth the hype. Let me just tell you, it was sooo worth it! I live about three hours away from there, but after this experience, I would gladly make this drive again.

The moment I arrived, I was blown away by the atmosphere. There was good music playing, everyone was incredibly friendly, the energy was amazing, and even though there was a long line, the service was quick as I was able to get my food quickly.

Now, about the food, to me this was truly life changing. it's hard for me to find authentic flavorful Mexcian food where I live, this feels like finding a hidden gem. Every bite just made me want more. I loved it so much that I went back and placed a second order before leaving! (Had to take one for on the road!)

I'll definitely be returning every chance I get. Honsetly, they need to open a location closer to me because if I lived closer to them, you would see me there every day. If you are considering coming here, I'll tell you this: STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND GO!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!“

“The girl who served us was very sweet and kind. Food was delicious and made to perfection. The place was also very clean and quiet. Also my first time ever seeing a restaurant with the fountain drinks with all types of drink and all flavors available. That was a big plus :))“

“As an owner of multiple businesses, I NEVER write reviews. Unless it’s an absolutely stellar experience and well deserved. Besides the fact the have the absolute best shrimp and steak burrito with brown rice (for those of you that are healthy)- I walked in with my two toddlers to pick up. The restaurant accidentally switched my order with someone else’s. The restaurant called me when I was almost back home in Sayville (my boys do Karate next door). They immediately notified me of the error before I found out, and insisted making it right. Not only did they insist on driving to the Sayville area to give me what I originally ordered- they let me keep the food I got, plus gave me a second burrito for free, and churros for my boys. This review was written not only for an amazing burrito- but the service. Modern days it’s hard enough for a business to care about taking your order, let alone going above and beyond. Hats off to the manager (especially) and the staff tonight, you deserve it! Disregard any other bad/mediocre reviews from others just having a bad day!“

“Best bodega ever. Every thing here is great.“

“Food very good! Went downstairs for some D J vibes but he needs to mix it up . Only one type of music . Fun place!“

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

“Food here was so good and pretty big portions!!! The price and service here was so wonderful, and the waitress was so kind and helpful! Will definitely be coming back here again! :)

Previously was a vegan restaurant and I am pleased to say the new owners (now called Hispano-American Restaurant serving hispanic food) are doing an amazing job with the service and food!“
