What Long Island says

Reviews from our Google listing, updated live.

“I'll let you decide on the atmosphere . My recent trip was EXACTLY what I was looking for . A different approach to the way things are combined , with various seasonings I enjoy . No alcoholic beverages were ordered (I was driving) but the 'soft' drinks were carbonated as I like them . "Well done" , to the entire staff .”

“Nice place with a very traditional Mexican atmosphere and music 👍🏼. Delicious food, very welcoming staff. Portions are literally huge. A very big choice on the menu. A lot of Halloween decorations and colors in the place. Good prices ✅. And it was nice to get chips with tomato sauce for starting. The only one thing doesn’t match to this place is a ladies room, which could be nicer. Especially this year when people don’t want to touch anything another time. Thanks for staying in business.”

“OMG.....I just passed by this place a week prior and it looked nice and figured I'd give it a try. The Food was seriously so good. I started with a special Margarita and the loaded Nachos. Then we had the beef empanadas, which were good and very crunchy. Overall the food was delicious and the ambiance was so pretty and the place smelled brand new. The staff was very attentive and fast and friendly. Seems like a hidden Gem to me. I also have friends in the area that spoke very highly of this place as well. Definitely check this place out. And also....the churros were delicious!!!”

“I had a great experience thanks to our waitress. Lacretia was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. She checked on us regularly without being overbearing, kept our drinks filled, and had such a positive attitude the entire time. Her excellent customer service really made the visit enjoyable. I would definitely come back and hope to have her as our waitress again!”
