Many thanks to our waitress Maria, she was polite, efficient and definitely added to the great time we had. All was awesome for my birthday dinner.

Their menu is offers a great verity of choices from soup, tacos, enchiladas and much more. We enjoyed the free chips and salsa and then went on to enjoy shredded chicken tacos and enchiladas. There is plenty of indoor seating and nice size bar for drinks. which were very good. I ordered a classic margarita from the happy hour menu, and it was tasty and well-balanced. The Gallery does get very busy so parking can tak some time so be patience.

This salsa was a little bit mild for my taste, but still solid and fresh. I had four traditional tacos: two shrimp and two fish (that was the only way I could mix and match). Each taco was served with two corn tortillas each, but I only really needed to eat one per taco. My friends shared the short rib and they loved it. They specifically called that out on the menu and were excited to see that it was available. Service was good and food came out quickly. I would definitely check this place out again.

Food: 5/5 We ordered the Green Chili Queso & Chips ($6),…read moreStreet Corn ($4.50), Hawaiian Chicken Quesadilla ($14), and Truffle Steak ($17). The truffle steak is pretty much a must order every time I come here, but this time Hawaiian chicken was even better. Both quesadillas were hefty and bigger than what other places serve. I recommend using the queso as a dip to really level up the quesadillas. Service: 5/5 The service was great. Our waitress was very friendly, quick with our orders, and gave us time when we needed to review the menu. Ambiance: 5/5 The ambiance is clean, modern, and casual with a bright, upbeat feel. It's not a huge space, but it's comfortable and well-kept, making it a solid option for a quick bite or a relaxed, low-key meal. They played absolute banging music on the speakers so shoutout to whoever picks the playlists!l

I was so happy to see a Homemade Taqueria store open in nearby Hempstead. Got a takeout order of…read morechips and guac, chicken burrito with avocado add-on, steak taco and 3 shrimp tacos. Everything was well packaged, with pleasant staff and prompt service. First of all portions are quite generous. Warm chips in a paper bag tasted homemade, and the "small" order of guac I ordered was actually a huge portion and ultra creamy. The chicken burrito was packed with fresh ingredients (although I would have liked more chicken); the $2.00 surcharge for adding hefty avocado slices was well worth it. Soft tacos wrapped in corn tortillas made with large seared shrimp were delicious. I liked that they didn't use too much cojita cheese in the tacos, but plenty of healthy avo. I didn't much care for the spicing of my marinated steak taco, but my partner loved it so no accounting for tastes :) Each item comes with a choice of two sauces so I tried them all. The pico and green sauce were my personal faves, I used them liberally to spice things up. Ordering directly from Homemade Taqueria's website is the most cost effective method, and they offer loyalty points as well. Can't wait to try some different items next time!

Let me tell you, the food is a delicious as it smells. I love little hole in the wall places that have great food, and this one of them. It's a very unassuming place that doesn't stand out but the owner is so friendly and just wants you to enjoy his food, and you will. I have had quite a few things on the menu, but the carne asada entree is great. The owner even had us try the beef and potatoe empanadas and now we order them when we get there. This place has become my little comfort food spot down the street.

As for my meal, I highly recommend the fried chicken taco. The shrimp taco was a hit as well. Again, I enjoyed my experience immensely and plan to return in the coming weeks.

The music is good and lively and the ambiance is fun to go out on a Saturday night on Long Island. They have some beer on tap and my husband liked how they had an ipa option. The margarita selection is also awesome and there were so many I wanted to try. I really enjoyed my spicy watermelon margarita. I also really enjoyed the black bean taco. However, I didn't really enjoy my other tacos I ordered. The sauce was often too much to the point that the taco was soggy which is a big turnoff for me. I also didn't like the carne asada taco when I almost always do because I didn't like the green sauce when I almost always do at other Mexican places. The guacamole also appears to be premade, in that we couldn't order it without tomatoes and we couldn't customize how spicy it was. It wasn't bad tasting though, just tasted like something I'd get at the grocery store. Overall good drinks spot! And a good black bean taco. Would pass on any of the other food I tried there though.

The good : Overall food was good, we ordered empanadas (shrimp and beef ) they tasted really good with the accompanied chimichurri sauce . We got our boys skirt steaks with fries and my wife and I had to half chickens and pernil respectively . Their mojitos are really good but unfortunately, they didn't have lemonade (soda ) so we ended up paying. $6 each for kid sized house made lemonade which was kinda a waste as my older didn't like it and I didn't want to bother sending it back . The bad: I am taking off a star because we had to wait a long time to get our check. I had asked for the check and a doggy bag, but had to flag my waiter down again to remind him to bring my check. Apparently the kids eat free special has to be approved by a manager . It felt like we waited 15-20 minutes till we got our check , by that time my kids were extremely irritated and my wife was pissed off. I know it's not the waiters fault but the restaurant wasn't that busy and I can't see why they couldn't have gotten this taken care of earlier . Sadly because of this incident, my wife does not want to come back here anymore knowing it takes forever to check out .

It's a pretty cool spot for being in the middle of a shopping center parking lot. They have indoor and outdoor dining, and a pseudo bar area. I would have tried a margarita but I had a cold so went for the watermelon juice. It was good but not as fresh as I remember the Forest Hills watermelon juice being. The carne asada taco was good especially with adding the free green sauce. The shrimp taco was fairly good too. The small chips and guac were good and fresh and didn't have tomato, though you can't customize the spice level. The service was friendly but slow. Overall enjoyable Mexican spot especially if watching the bottom line compared to other Mexican spots nearby.
