CALYPSO STEAK BOWL
Messiah T.

I'm a simple man. I simply wanted a nice bowl of only steak and rice; I was not prepared for what I received. I received an orgasmic bowl of steak and rice. The steak was absolutely well seasoned and tender. The rice was not bland at all surprisingly. It was very flavorful. I decided to skip the sauce and thought I would regret it because most bowls like this are dry. However everything was on the money, no add-ins necessary and no sauce necessary. I ordered to-go and the wait time was pretty ehhh but with how good the food was, it was a trade off. As far as the restaurant itself, it was pretty nice. I saw a lot of families there and they had a nice kinda sorta outside dining thing. I definitely recommend trying out Avo if you're nearby

Ahi tuna taco

Food is always pretty good here. I try my best to order something new each time. The service is always great. The staff is super attentive and helpful if needed. The ambiance is super chill and great for one on one or small groups. Happy hour is worth it because instead of $40 for a pitcher you only pay $28 which can give you anywhere between 5-6 decent drinks.

Pretty good non-traditional taco spot. Menu is pretty extensive and there are a lot of unique taco options. The tacos are also very large. My favorites are probably the carny (pork) and el flaco (chicken). Not the best tacos ever but there aren't a ton of taco options in Bayside so this is a solid choice. The apps are also pretty good, especially the guac. Cocktails options are what you'd expect (margs, mojitos, etc.) They also have bowls, salads, and quesadillas but haven't tried them yet. From dining in and looking around, the portions look substantial. Ambience is lively/colorful and service is consistently attentive.

THE THREE AMIGOS

I went to this location after the movie theater that is around the corner, it had a very welcoming atmosphere and upbeat vibe. The Three Amigos($15)- These was nachos that had a fire roasted salsa, queso and guacamole as dips. It had a good amount of sauce and nachos which the queso was my favorite out of the 3. Chipotle Chicken Bowl($14)- Chicken with onions, corn salsa, avocado and poblano crema. The overall flavor were pretty good but the rice was undercooked and hard so it was inedible which was upsetting. Overall I would give it another shot and try something else since it does have a very nice atmosphere. Parking could be a little tough since it shares a small parking lot with other stores.

Delicious bowls! BLACKENED SHRIMP, CALYPSO STEAK BOWL, TUNA MONTEZUMA BOWL*
Mei T.

The waitress brought the drinks and food out pretty efficiently, even during the dinner rush. The bowls and tacos were made with fresh and tasty ingredients. We had steak, shrimp and tuna bowls and each bowl was as tasty as the other. The restaurant has a happy, friendly vibe. They had plants and festive decor. You can sit inside or out on the patio. This is a nice place for a casual meal with friends! Worth another visit!

PIGGY SMALLS CALYPSO STEAK* CHIMICHURRI STEAK* THE COWBOY

restaurant is small, but super cute. All of the people working were super friendly and worked quickly. The food came out within 15 minutes of ordering it. The mango salsa was our favorite.

CALYPSO STEAK* Catering
Tracy F.

Been here a few times and loved the steak tacos and decided to order a catering box. The steak was great but the proportion wasn't balanced enough - there wasn't enough corn salsa, guacamole and taco shells. We ended up more than half of the steak left over. Would be great if the proportion could be revisited so it's more balanced!

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BOWL
Karen C.

I've been a HUGE fan of the location on Long Island. Haven't had in a while and now I live in the area so tried this place. Have mixed feelings. Ordered chipotle chicken bowl. It's okay I think I'm not a fan of the sweet flavor. It was too sweet for my taste. The chips were really stale but also need to add more chips especially if your charging $7 the ratio chips to queso needs to be right. It was overall okay, next time I'll stick to tacos. Remember those I liked.

GUACAMOLE & CHIPS
Lauren P.

I have been meaning to try AVO TACO since the Yelpies and finally made my way over, and it did not disappoint! Started with classic chips and guac. Even without the special toppings that they do, the guac was still flavorful and tasted fresh. Coco Loco (Coconut Shrimp Taco): This was good! I love anything with sweet chili sauce so I enjoyed this. I do wish there was just one more shrimp, but that's okay. The Long Liner (Ahi Tuna Taco): My favorite! The fish tasted fresh and the mango salsa went very well with it. Large pieces of fish and very worth it. FARE/FAIR warning that these tacos are MESSYYY. Be prepared to have sauces dripping from your hands. Or use a fork and knife for your tacos LOL. The churro sundae was a great way to end dinner. It was very very sweet though, but that was expected. The soft serve melted very fast with the churros being so warm, so you have to eat this fast if you don't want to be drinking ice cream soup basically. I imagine this space to be very lively in the summer when they open up the doors and have fresh air flowing through the place.

Was introduced to Avo Taco from a Yelp Elite event. Wanted to come back for their Tuesday Taco Special and their Happy Hour. The Tacos were delicious. Ordered the Calypso Steak, Floridian, Carny and friend ordered the Bandito, the Cowboy and Floridian. Service was off. The waitress took us to where my friend wanted to sit in the back with the booths. She came to take the order, staff who brought the drinks asked if we needed anything else as well as other staff who brought out the food asked if we needed anything else. The next time I saw waitress, which she was in the front and we had to flag her down twice. I wanted another Virgin Pina Colada and box for the food. We were not finished nor ready to leave. She came back with the check and box for food. Was she overwhelmed? She was the only waitress when we came in. Then there was also an error on the check. We had given waitress a coupon before placing order and informed her we using it. She never took out the difference. So she had to come back with another check. Restaurant and ambiance is warm and inviting. Only one bathroom was working so be prepared to wait. Then hour later other bathroom is working too. Check sign on the door.

STREET CORN
Sarah K.

This restaurant is a bit disorganized. We had about 3 different servers rotating to serve us. The first server didn't inform us that someone will take our order when we were given the menus. We assumed that the order takes place online because they had qr codes on all the tables and it took them awhile to get back to us. My boyfriend even tipped them before buying the food and drinks online which was odd. We informed the second server that we purchased the food online. When the food and the drinks came out different servers brought it to us. I had to inform them that they forgot my coke. Instead of checking the online order, she brought me a fountain coke when I ordered the mexican coca cola. We let it go. Now for the food review. I would say it is a bit on the saltier side, but my boyfriend and I really enjoyed the yuca fries and the truffle steak quesadilla. I also liked the street corn. Also, ask for the hot sauce because it is so good. It hits the spot!

DLDR: I would order few of the Coco Loco Tacos, Chimichurri Steak Tacos, Hawaiian Chicken Quesadilla, and end it with Tres Leche. Came here for lunch with my gf and her parents on a late Sunday morning. There's no parking in front of the restaurant, as it's a narrow one way street, but there's a massive parking lot behind the plaza and limited parking to the left of the plaza. They happened to have happy hour specials where select appetizers and drinks were half off. Don't remember how often they planned on having this deal. Service is pretty decent for the most part. At times, you do need to go flag someone down if you need something. Otherwise, the staff members, from our assigned waiter, the bartender, and manager, were all very friendly and gave good recommendations. For drinks, we ordered the Passion Fruit Pina Colada ($12) and the Mango Mojito ($12). Both drinks were good, but liked the Mango Mojito better. The rum in the Pina Colada stood out from the rest of the ingredients, making it less enjoyable. For appetizers, we tried the Chicken Tortilla Soup ($5). I believe this is new to the menu and for starters, this was pretty good. For entrees, we ordered a bunch of stuff to try a variety of items: Quesa Birria ($17) - This has been super trendy over the past few years and I haven't been a fan of the places I've tried them. This was recommended by the staff as the beef has been slow cooked for three hours. At this point, I think it's just me where I'm not a fan of the Birria craze due to the amount of cheese and the messiness of dipping it in a cup of oil. Hawaiian Chicken Quesadilla ($14) - I've had chicken quesadilla all my life and this is the first time I'm having it with pineapple. A simple additional topping and it's a game changer. Coco Loco ($6) - This was my absolute favorite taco I had here. The breaded shrimp with sweet chili made this taste phenomenal along with the cole slaw and sprinkled coconut flakes or enhanced taste. The Carny ($5.50) - This is a braised pork shoulder topped with pickled cabbage, poblano creama and cotija cheese. I have to say this was okay, but not my favorite. Chimichurri Steak ($6.50) - This consisted of flank steak marinated in pineapple soy topped with chimichurri sauce, crispy onions, and scallion. The steak was well made and flavored. I did enjoyed the added flavoring of the chimichurri and the crispy onion topping. We ended our meal with the Tres Leche ($6), which is made fresh in house. One of the best desserts I've had in a while. Super fluffy and delicate fresh out of their oven. Wouldn't have wanted this any other way.

Avo Taco is located at the upper level of The Bay Terrace Shopping Center. It was less than a 15-minute walk from my house. The ambiance was perfect for brunch, lunch, and dinner dates. The cashier greeted me when I arrived. Also, I informed her about my food allergies. I ordered a take-out of 3 tacos as part of their Taco Tuesday promo with a side of yuca fries. I entered my email address to sign up for their rewards. Food Calypso Steak (no guacamole): The sour cream and corn salsa topped on the steak taco was flavorful. This was my favorite. One word: Scrumptious Floridian (no guacamole & cilantro): The crisp slaw and pico de gallo topped on the fish taco was flavorful. Yuca Fries (no cilantro): The rasta crema, cotija cheese, and Tajin topped on the yuca fries were crispy and yummy. Bookmark this spot to try!

Surprisingly, it is a dish that is hard to find in the Flushing/Fresh Meadows area especially in a sit down, comfortable restaurant. The Chilaquiles was a nice little plate of deliciousness - I loved the tangy green salsa soaked bed of tortilla with nicely fried over easy eggs (they way I ordered it). A fan of avocado, tomato and onions top the dish as well - it comes with a side of rice and beans. I recently returned when I was in the mood for enchiladas - they have combo option with beef, chicken and cheese. I ordered them divorced style with both red and green salsa. It comes blanketed with a shredded lettuce salad with tomato, onions and avocado. Rice and beans round out the dish. A couple of other dishes I tasted were the eggs with chorizo and the chimichanga - both were very good. I love their house salsas both a dark red and green one. They bring out tortilla chips with a thick salsa that is tomato-ey sweet. They have a full bar if you are so inclined and the service is very good here.

Not fluent in English, but very friendly service. They have an extensive menu! They give complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is a sweet tomato-y salsa and the chips are crisp. The Chimichanga with Cecina (Salted Beef) was stuffed! Crisp fried exterior, covered in flavorful red (tomato-y) and green (herb-y) sauces. The cecina is perfectly salted. I enjoyed the guac and chips (same as the complimentary chips) and pico on the side added freshness. They also have a house red and green sauce, which have a good kick and flavor to them. The Pineapple Juice is the right amount of sweetness and tart. I like that there's no ice so it's a full glass of juice! Overall a neat local spot to hit up for good food and friendly service (and a full bar!).

First off it's super clean, it's HALAL it has a unisex bathroom to use, cold beverages in the freezer by the counter, the owner Ali greeted me with a smile and gave me a free complimentary sample plate to try of the different protein meats and sauces so I could make a informed decision about what I wanted to order. And that's not all... Let me share the added benefits of this place, so I've been to CHIPOTLE and GUACTIME, and those places don't even stand a chance in comparison to this place. There is absolutely NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR GUACAMOLE NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR YOUR CHOICE OF MEAT/PROTEIN TYPE. They have a standard price of $14.95 for your meal and you can add as many toppings and sauces as you like! They also have a vast array of VEGAN/VEGETARIAN options like roasted cauliflower/beans/tofu for all those non meat eating or health conscious people out there Nothing has been sitting out for the day or is nasty looking like the other places I mentioned. Everything is made super fresh on the spot. Including the fries. Don't even get me started on the caramel filled Churros-you're gonna die n go to heaven they're soo crispy and delicious! One of the biggest kickers for me though is this-I absolutely had no stomach/gut issues (bloating/pain etc) after eating this food. I felt so good. That is the game Changer for me because I'm sure we all know about the downside of eating Mexican fast food usually. Tap and pay is available so you don't have to pay only Cash here but that's an option too. The owner Ali is from Pakistan and shared with me about his family and daughter and how he prides himself on his passion for quality food and excellent customer service and I will say, without him even mentioning it, it shows in his business, service and food. This place is the bees knees and I would highly recommend it.

The burrito and nachos are still our favorite and the pina colada is so good. They put a lot of maraschino cherries in that drink, which is loved. The food came out quickly considering how many diners there were and our server came around as often as she could to check on our and refill waters.
