“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.“

“Food is always good but today was one of those days ... tortillas where not the same and pineapples for the al pastor where not grilled as if you guys ran out and just sliced and added at least mix it with the meat ... I own a restaurant so I know how things go sometimes but pls .. consistency is key ...“

“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!“

“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“

“Had the steak fajitas, no complaints, they were really good and they came out quick. I sat at the bar for lunch. Ordered a margarita, it was VERY strong. Almost a little too strong. The interior is a lot of fun. And they have a semi private area upstairs that would be great for a party. I’ll have to keep this place in mind for events. Cost wasn’t too bad.“

“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 place is absolutely amazing!!!!! Jim the manager was such a nice guy and made me feel so welcomed. The food is absolutely delicious!!!!!! 10/10 recommend!

“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.“

“Restaurante familiar, Rica comida 🌮“

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

“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..“

“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 ??“

“Nice place and attendants“

“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!“

“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“

“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 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.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“Delicious food, I love the shrimp burrito , the fried chicken platter with green plantains , tacos are the best , and no words for pupusas , they are absolutely delicious, I get the pork ones ! The ladies always have a smile in their face 🥰nice spot.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Came here for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Got a steak and shrimp bowl with a baja cod taco, drink and a dessert. Everything tasted soooo good! Presentation was on point as well. On my way out I was even offered a free drink! Can't say enough good about this place. I'll be back once I'm in the area and will definitely recommend to others as well.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Nachos are loaded and delicious!“

“Muy. Rico todo excelente servicio“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 food is great and always delicious. Cant complain about the service they are very attentive and do everything they can to make sure you leave happy. I take my co workers here all the time for lunch when we work close by, they enjoy the food here as well.“

“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 :))“

“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“
