“I go to this restaurant twice a month with my friend usually around 11 AM and get breakfast. Imagine how shocked I was Find out breakfast was no longer available during the week? The restaurant has changed names and menus, but to take breakfast completely off the table during the week I find it outrageous we’ve been going here for years now we have to find a new place. Even if they offered a couple of choices fruit, eggs or brunch special it would have been nice.My friend and I are so disappointed.☹️
You are right I changed my review to four stars, but it doesn’t change the fact you don’t have breakfast
I specifically said you don’t offer breakfast during the week that’s Monday through Friday, no breakfast, that’s five days out of seven you don’t offer breakfast. Having 1 thing does not considered you having a breakfast menu. It ok though it’s Deer Park theres millions of places that have food especially breakfast we will just move on. I gave you two stars because we have to move on because of you.

Parking: I park in handicapped and it’s right in front of the front door. It’s very convenient“

“I had stopped coming here for a long time as The kids working here had a very bad habit of shaking all the food off the spoon sort of like chipotle does now. I recently gave it another try, and I have to say the food was prepared Generously, the place was very clean, and the service, unlike before was now friendly. The place is under new management, her name is Vilma and she has turned this place around. Better food, better portions and great service for much less money than lousy Taco Bell.“

“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.“

“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..“

“The food was great. Great seasoning on everything. Mashed yukka was a little salty but very tasty. When I first walked in, I was passed by several people with no acknowledgment, I finally asked someone if I sat myself, and she guided me to a table. After that everything was fine. Waitress was very attentive and personable. The food was awesome. I will definitely return with friends.“

“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!!“

“Island Grill is a 10/10 spot!! There are a few seats at a wall counter but other than that you come here to pick up your food and eat elsewhere. The prices are fantastic and the portions are great as well! The quesadillas are small sized and priced accordingly, you can get one for $3! This is a great place to come for a cheap lunch or to order large portions for a big group dinner. I do both often. You absolutely have to try their bourbon chicken, you will not be disappointed!

Vegetarian options: All their dishes can be made with veggies instead of meat“

“The staff is amazing and incredible ❤️😍 . The bathrooms as we all know is important it tells you about them . OMG 🤯 super clean WOW... Amazing and incredible came to mind. Staff is bilingual they speak Spanish and English very well I say. I let them think I was English . It was a amazing and incredible time .“

“Nice place and attendants“

“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.“

“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 ??“

“Good food nice people ,fast service“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Friendly and informative sales persons !!!“

“I'll start off by saying there chicken tacos are outta this world, cooked fresh to order. Just Alittle disappointed in when placing order n asking for pricing I was given 3 different prices. Online supposed to get 3 tacos any meat and a soda for 12.48, I got the 3 a soda and one churro, and was charged 16.00. truck is in the unkuchueg reservation in mastic NY.“

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

“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!“

“Im just going to start off with Qdoba is superior. I will only be coming here for my quesadillas, bowls or burritos. My boyfriend and I both got the birria cheese crusted quesadilla and it was delicious. They bought it to our table and all the workers were super nice. They also aren’t skimpy on the meat or cheese. They have that soda machine with so many options, it’s self serve, free refills, they also have juice for the non soda options. I got the strawberry lemonade and I am obsessed. The atmosphere was nice too, they have different tables and booths, we love a good booth. The place was also clean. It was so good that we went back the next day! Good job Farmingdale Qdoba, we will now be regulars.“

“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!“

“There is a reason this spot (along with other location) is regarded as one of the best Mexican restaurants in Long Island! Id say you're more likely to take out then dine-in. I go about once a week (on Taco Tuesday) and get a Carnitas Burrito lol. It's large, delicious, and everything I need in a burrito since moving out to Long Island from the city. Fortunately for me El Paso Taco is a 5min drive down the road 🤤“

“The clerk’s English is not particularly good, but! ! ! Their tacos and burritos are truly unbeatable. Especially the beef tongue, it's so delicious. Highly recommended to those who live nearby and don’t know what to eat for dinner. If you don’t understand the dishes, you can take a photo and circle what you want to eat (my actual test is valid)“

“I had a very pleasant experience. The staff were welcoming and the service was efficient. I ordered a few tacos with a drink. The menu had plenty of options so I definitely would want to try more but what I had was delicious and quick. I would definitely come back and I would recommend this place.“

“Each Mexican restaurant makes their dishes differently. I went with my family and we ordered a Cuban cake. They were different from other cakes I've tried. That's why he said it's different because the tacos are just as great as many I've tried.“

“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!!“

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

“Every time I visit this establishment, Wendy greets me with a smile: her entire team is super friendly, attentive and makes you feel like part of the family. Edwin is hilarious, always makes me laugh and honestly my visit alone deserves a 10/10 with customer service. BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE FOOD!! Each dish is an explosion of flavor, truly delicious, and you can tell they put their heart into their food. On the weekends they have an authentic champurrado that I swear is to die for. This establishment is truly a must visit for anyone looking for the ultimate taco experience! But don't just take my word for it, go see for yourself!!
Oh and if you are lucky enough to visit when they have special tamales I IMPLORE YOU TO TRY THEM - but don't take them all, I need at least ten at a time. MINIMUM“

“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“

“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!“

“We were looking for a place to stop for tacos on way home . What a pleasant surprise we found this restaurant we wound up eating at restaurant. They couldn't have been nicer and the food was fresh and delicious. We both had burrito's and salad.
And cheesecake for desert They gave us tortilla chips for table that were delicious everything was great. We will definitely be back“

“We went celebrate my daughter's birthday. Food was good and service was good. Except the server bring you more sodas and charged Xtra on my bill. Many restaurants don't do that..specially if server take your empty glasses and fill you up... next time I won't drink Xtra soda stay with one drink....“

“Muy. Rico todo excelente servicio“

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