The food here was so good I had a burger cheese fries and another burger that was different they were all so delicious service was amazing and so was the ambiance read more

This is more of a to-go spot, but you can dine in. The tacos were ok. Complimentary chips and salsa were ok. But the margarita was way too sweet (from some pre-made mix). On the menu it says it's $8 but I was charged $10. Also, it had a long black hair in it, gross. Service was ok. read more

Great location, clean enough space with themed decor. Inside looks great and fun, except there's never anyone in the place - which isn't a great sign. Empanada tasted and smelled like the beef was old. It was primarily filled with air and the pastry was far too brown. We also ordered a burrito bowl with chicken, which was the furthest thing from white meat. The chicken meat is small crumbs of dry, VERY dark meat with seasoning - can't even be called chunks or pieces, it's chicken crumbs. Pico tastes good but the tomatoes were nearly white and there was just a sprinkling of it on the bowl anyway. Same for the lettuce and rice - they were just filler, not tasty at all. Guac was great, however the chips were way too thick and burnt. Service was fine enough, but I ordered takeout and then sat while my food was cooked and no one really went out of their way to say anything to the one customer in the place. I felt that more attention could've been paid to service and quality food prep seeing as how they were very clearly not busy. Not the best, not the worst. Doesn't warrant another visit for sure. read more

Chico's Tex Mex - "Chicken" burrito bowl - Tex-Mex Near Me - East Setauket, New York

This review is for a recent takeout order. We ordered tacos (ground beef), a chimichanga (chicken), an empanada (beef), and guacamole with chips. The food there is a bit pricey but we wanted to give them a shot. Upon getting the order home I discovered that the chips (from the guacamole with chips) were missing! It' wasn't worth another round-trip drive to get the missing chips, but it shows sloppy work. Otherwise the food was OK, though not a great value. They would have gotten three stars from me if I hadn't been short-changed by the missing chips. Since I can't trust this restaurant to get an order correct, I won't be going back. read more

Chicoa is amazing. If I could eat here every day I would. Great food, good prices and kind people. Not too loud either. Great place!

Great food excellent service. The whole family was happy. I can't ask for anything more. The wife says the sangria first rate Had a Mexican Halloween type of decor They ate it all nothing left over. And it was a ton of food. read more

Came in for a Friday night dinner. For starters - the place is neat and clean. The waitress was very accommodating. I ordered the Enchiladas. The food was excellent. Fresh made and delicious. The beans were excellent. Long story short - I'll be back. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Went to the Setauket location and everything was better than the next! Our server was incredible and so sweet. The birria tacos are incredible, my daughter loved her beef taco bowl and my husband loved the chicken tacos (didn't get a pic of those they were eaten so fast ). I ordered a Paloma it was delish! We will deff be going back!! read more

Went to their original setauket location on 25-A and found out they moved to the shopping plaza down the street where stop and shop and Starbucks are. (The old ramen place). The new location is much bigger and has more of a sit-down vibe--there's a hostess and you get served with a menu etc and complimentary chips. Presentation of food is immaculate (my photo didn't do it justice). Pricing is still the same! (Not sure if that will change because I went a within a few days of their soft launch when they were still serving with disposable cups etc) And take out is still an option! Staff is SO friendly--very attentive and clearly excited about the new location. Also received complimentary churros for their soft launch--absolutely DELICIOUS. I am so so so excited for this new location and hope it does well. Will definitely be going back for the hard launch when they get their liquor license. read more

Chico's Tex Mex - Chicken Quesadilla - Tex-Mex Near Me - East Setauket, New York

I thought this place closed when I saw they were no longer in the "cursed" location next to the drive through that has been 6 different restaurants in the last 10 years. I had never been to the original, cursed location. Then, food shopping the other day, I noticed they had not closed, but just moved about a half a mile down 25A into the Wild By Nature shopping center. Was hungry and figured, why not finally try this spot? So we go in to get a quick bite to eat- walked in and was disappointed to see it was tables service only. I just wanted to order at the counter and bring the food to the table myself. But the host greeted us immediately and I felt bad/awkward turning around and leaving so we stayed. Complimentary chips and a salsa were brought to the table, and while appreciated, the chips weren't great. Very dry, thick and brittle- had the taste and consistency more of pita chips than traditional corn tortilla chips, which are usually lighter and crispier. For food we got a chicken quesadilla, an empanada and a churro. The chicken quesadilla had a decent amount of chicken but it was very dry and there was barely any cheese. It was also $14 and didn't come with guacamole, sour cream or salsa- just a small cup of funny tasting "chipotle mayo". It was thoroughly disappointing. The empanada crust was dry and the inside tasted like frozen empanadas you'd buy in bulk from Costco. Not good at all, ended up leaving half of it uneaten. The churro was tiny and nearly $4. But the worst part about it was it wasn't a normal churro.. It had a gross, artificial tasting, caramel flavored filling inside. Had to spit it out. Wasn't all terrible though. We got a margarita that was pretty good. And our waitress was very friendly, only wish she had told me the churros had that awful caramel filling when she gave me the choice between an "oreo churro" and a "traditional churro". The service was good but the food was just not. Left her a nice tip but also left over 1/3 of what we had ordered uneaten. It's just not good food, unfortunately. read more

Absolutely delicious authentic Mexican food! Friendly servers, food came out quickly, very reasonable prices. Beautifully decorated with hand-painted murals. Highly recommend! read more

We love the take out / quick eat at the Selden location, and their great staff told us they opened a full service restaurant with a bar, so we had to try it. Walked in, nice sized store front restaurant, clean, welcoming staff and decor. We were seated with menus and chips with salsa. I ordered the Birria Bowl, and my husband ordered a Classic Taco and Fajita Combination. The food was excellent, just like in the other location, but we felt the portions were much bigger. He enjoyed the Fajitas being served sizzling in the skillet. We will absolutely frequent both stores! read more

The cardiac arrest actually kept my heart pumping because it was soooooo good. The soy options are so flavorful

Great spot! We have done takeaway from here a few times and the food is always delicious. They have a really fun menu. I always get a chicken burrito with TONS of stuff in it (different each time!) and we will never order here without bringing some queso and chips home too. The queso is amazing. You can tell all of the ingredients are always fresh and that the people working care about the food they're making. read more

This place is fiiiirrreeee. Fajitas were absolutely delicious. Everything came out super hot and fresh. Their homemade sauces are terrific and flavorful. Service is kind and hospitable. There are some nice hour specials I will have come back for. Colorful and upbeat vibe with a reggaeton playing at a moderate volume makes for a fun atmosphere. Even though there are other good Tex Mex places in the vicinity, this one is hands down the best. They do takeout, but if eating in expect to be waited on. read more

My friend Tony really loved his Birria tacos. I ordered the Smashburger tacos and they were very flavorful. Next time back, I want to try one of their burritos which look delicious. The staff was very nice and the owners brother was a pleasure to talk to. We will definitely come back. read more

Chicos is fantastic. The tacos are great. The mixed fajitas are fantastic. Come for Friday night fajitas and come back for taco Tuesday. Great food and good prices. Well worth coming and eating read more

Nice neighborhood spot for Tex-Mex food. I've lived in East Setauket for 25+ years and this location has seen its fair share of chinese food and pizza eateries throughout the years. What is Tex-Mex? I had to look up what Tex-Mex means: Tex-Mex cuisine is an American and Texan cuisine that derives from the culinary creations of the Tejano people of Texas. Dig it! I knew that you could. We found a great taco spot in Miller Place, its kind of a hike when you're jonesin' for a taco and Chico's is around the corner. My wife & I first stopped in for a few tacos. Very impressed with what was offered. The next few visits, I used my app to order online. I ordered a fish bowl and then the following week a ground beef bowl. Maybe it's all dumped into a large tin, the presentation doesn't look too appealing. And both bowls were a little too heavy on the onions, something I'll correct in my next order. Chico's makes a damn good Tex-Mex taco. If your in the area, give them a try. read more

The quality of the food and experience has gone from a 10 to a 1 since they moved to a new location in Setauket. Ordered Fajitas and Nacho 6 weeks ago - absolutely terrible. I actually responded to a Chico's email asking how my experience was - I elaborated on my dissatisfaction with no response. Decided to give Chico's a s2nd chance. Tonight the Chicken fajitas were awful - rubbery, soggy dark meat chicken. Ordered extra Gauc - didn't happen - ordered extra Tortillas - didn't happen. Incorrect order and tasteless food. Going forward will be ordering elsewhere. Unfortunate as the food used to be pretty good at the old location read more

Such a great addition to the area! We needed a local Tex mex eatery :) Love everything we have tried! Never disappointed! My personal faves are the fish tacos, beef street tacos and chicken bowl. I love that the sauces are on the side and that you can help yourself when picking up takeout. Def. worth giving a try! read more

If I could sum up my review in one sentence: this place is like a high class Taco Bell in the best way possible. Came here craving a quick lunch during office hours. Ordered a chicken quesadilla to go. The quesadilla came packed with some fresh chips and a few sauces on the side. The quesadilla itself was huge! One slice easily the size of my hand. The filling isn't like a typical quesadilla to me though... If you've ever had Taco Bell's quesadilla, it comes with small chunks of meat slathered in a queso sauce. And that is very similar to what I go at Chico's. However, it was so much better than what Taco Bell could ever provide. The chicken was tender and flavorful, covered in a tasty cheese sauce. Tortilla was sturdy and a bit crisp. The sauces served along side were a wonderful compliment. There was so much quesadilla to dine on, I managed to save a slice for later and still enjoyed it! Overall, I would definitely try this place again to try its other offerings. Especially since the quesadilla was so promising! read more

Food was so good- definitely will be coming back. Would not get the mai tai again though- the balance of flavors seemed off and very heavy on the bitters...but they were nice enough to add more orange juice to my drink which made it better lol. Dessert was really good too! read more

We were here a few weeks back and despite the reviews, we were a bit underwhelmed about this place. I got the fried cod fish burrito which the fish was nice fried and the size of the burrito was nothing to sneeze at. My son got the BBQ chicken bowl which had rice, beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, etc. The presentation was a bit sloppy with everything just layered on top. Wait staffs are great, but the taste of the food was just okay. read more

My favorite Tex Mex place! They pack the containers really well and the price is very reasonable. I always get the chicken rice bowl without beans and it is good every time. It normally takes me 2 sittings to finish this food as they give so much of it. It also opened right up next to my workplace at the library so it is in an extremely convenient location for me to pick up quickly when I am in the area. I have always ordered online and have had no issues picking it up, it is always accurate and made efficiently. They also give a small bag of chips which can be a bit salty but I really enjoy them. read more

Glad i decided to stop by this place. The prices are extremely good and the portion sizes are massive. I'm glad they have actual vegetarian options! The service was phenomenal, I asked for a few things without cheese and they were able to modify the items without problem. We got a pretty large order and I believe we waited no more than 10 minutes, which was great. The food was very good! This is basically like Taco Bell except the food tastes a thousand times more fresh. I have to say I was pretty impressed with everything. They have limited indoor seating available and they do offer hand sanitizer as well. I believe they also offer delivery. If you're in the are and want to try fresh Mexican food this is the place to go! Will definitely come back for more! read more

I got the soy tacos, which were amazing and so fresh! The sauces where perfectly balanced and the seasoning of the soy was prefect. I loved the portions for 12 dollars (I got 3 very full tacos). My boyfriend got the shrimp tacos (not pictured) and he said he would come back again for them. These tacos where very authentic and fresh and not like any of other place in the area. I only gave them a 4/5 stars because my stomach hurt a lot for a bit after, but overall great meal!! read more

Best Mexican food I've had in this area!! Extremely vegetarian friendly which is a huge plus. The veggie fajita burrito and quesadillas might be the best I've ever had. Everything tasted so fresh. They also have self serve chips and salsas. The only thing I'll have to pass on next time is the soy chimichanga. Wasn't a fan of the fake soy "meat" and would prefer just a veggie fajita option. Overall, this place is incredible and a hole in the wall find. Can't recommend it enough. Will absolutely be back. No need for Taco Bell and Chipotle when you have this gem nearby. read more

This place opened up several years ago right around the corner from my house and a few weeks ago they moved to a bigger spacewith more space to eat in. I am happy to report I think the food got even better! It's the best Mexican food I've had around here. I just had a chimichanga and it was cooked perfectly , not too oily or crispy it was really great. I also love there story, from a food truck to having a very successful restaurant. Nice job Chico! read more

If you happen to see this spot you NEED to stop by. Absolutely phenomenal customer service and food. The food is so fresh the best tacos I've ever had. I can't wait to go back to try everything else on their menu. Highly recommend and I will personally tell my loved ones to come to this place! I also never leave reviews but this one deserved it. I stopped by with a coworker for late lunch and the manager gave us free birria tacos because we've never tried them before. Great FREE hot sauces sour cream etc that anyone can take to pair with their meal. This spot is amazing down to their fresh homemade chips and even the sour cream (idk what they do to it but it's different) I won't stop raving about it. Definitely give it a try!!! You won't regret it. read more

We have been fans of this place for sometime now, and we're excited to check out the new digs today. Nothing more exciting than when the great get better! The place looks awesome, love the skull mural is spectacular! Absolutely love the crispy chips and chunky salsa that's a staple of the Chicos experience. My son and I crushed the bowl just in time for our food to arrive. I had the chipotle chicken burrito and it was fabulous! even better than before! I was told they are cooking in smaller batches , providing the most delicious and fresh foods at all times. It shows. I'm going on record saying it's a top 5 burrito I have ever had, pushing the top spot. They serve sour cream that's gotta be housemade and it's insanely creamy with this hint of herbs to it. Damn it's soo good! I cannot wait to go back again and I recommend you go asap!! read more

Delivery was on point and on time. I ordered one of each of their enchiladas. Some were good, others were meh. Not the greatest I've ever had, but not the worst either.

Me and my husband came here for lunch; the place was clean, open, and the (I assume owner?) that I spoke to was very friendly. We mostly came since they had a vegan meat option, including an empanada! It was delicious, and we will absolutely be coming back. They said just about any menu item can be made vegan by leaving off sour cream/cheese and getting the soy protein. Excited to try more :) read more

Decent option if you're craving Tex-mex in the Stony Brook/East Setauket area. We tried their shrimp street taco, grilled fish fiesta taco, chicken crunch taco, and pulled pork street taco, as well as their ground beef chalupa and steak quesadilla, all of which were tasty enough if not particularly outstanding. The quesadilla was perhaps the best entree, oozing cheese and loaded with steak, and so hefty I felt full after two pieces. Their sauce selection was a mild disappointment--the green sauce, red sauce, and crema all tasted strangely watered down and bland. Fortunately, their churros were amazing and my favorite element of the meal by far. Rolled in cinnamon sugar and oozing caramel, I could have had a full meal of them alone! read more
