We've been patrons of Del Fuego for over 15 years and while we don't get to go there as often as we'd like due to distance, the quality of the food and service remains excellent!!! We just ate there tonight and had awesome service thanks to Nicholas A. and his coworkers. We all loved our meals and the margaritas were on point. read more

Located in a strip mall and very dive bar-y. Went for a group lunch on a weekday, and they accommodate our large party very well. Good vegetarian options, and hot sauce variety, nothing mind blowing, but solid Mexican. read more

This place is great for what it is! You aren't going to get authentic mexican here, but you are going to get a delicious tex mex meal. I came most recently with my husband and another couple. Half the table got fajitas, the other half got tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We also started off with wings and chips and queso. Everything was very good. Service was also good! Good spot for a casual night out. read more

Stopped in for lunch on Tuesday. They had a $15 Taco Tuesday deal where you can mix and match 3 tacos. The Bluefin Tuna and Shrimp tacos were great, the Mahi Mahi blackened was just good. If you sign up for their Reward Program, you get $20 off your check, so it was basically a free lunch. I will be back! Conner also gave great service! read more

I really liked this spot. They have a few locations but it doesn't feel like a chain. Plenty of friendly folks working here. Attractive happy hour drink specials. Really enjoyed my carnitas enchiladas. Huge amount of rice and beans. I would gladly return! read more

After a day of running around visiting mom's it was now my turn to go out for Mother's Day. Joe took me for Mexican, one of my very favorites! This was are second time to this location. Pleasantly pleased that it was not overcrowded. We had plenty of parking options in their massive lot. We decided to sit at the bar. I love the oval shape and cool decor of the bar area. It has a nice spacious feel to it. And lots of TV's to observe. Right away we were greeted by staff and complimentary salsa and chips came in seconds. No wait for the water and cocktails to be delivered so we really appreciated that too. The stuffed jalapeños appetizer was delicious and satisfying. Our main meal was chicken fajitas and although the portion was decent the chicken was dry. Unfortunately disappointed but we didn't complain. Overall we enjoyed our special evening and probably would return. Our favorite Del Fuego is in Patchogue however staff is very helpful and pleasant in both towns. read more

Manager. Went there for dinner and our 2 year old granddaughter wanted to watch the Disney channel on 1 of 4 TV's in the sit down around. There were no more than 12 people eating at around 5:30-7:00. The waiter was very accommodating but the manager came over and said that if someone came in and wanted to watch golf that he would change the channel and despite no one being there he refused to put it on. Incidentally the Players Championship ended at 6 pm and no one came in. Who does that or says that to a 2 year-old? First time and last time for us. read more

Up in the area from NJ to visit family. We were in mood for Mexican. When deciding what to order, there were prices that were misleading on the listed google menu. When they told my family member, we ordered over the phone, the total was 71$ I had her question they had the order correct. We ordered 3 burritos and a regular guacamole. They read everything back correctly. There was a discrepancy between the google pricing and what their pricing actually is. The manager that was on was kind enough to honor the google pricing. With all this being said, my family member went to pick up the food and saw they had 15$ guacamole on the receipt which was not what we ordered. We had ordered the $3 guacamole to go with the chips. They took the huge 15$ guacamole out and replaced it with the tiniest container. Which again, I was astounded that they charged $3 for it. It looked more like we paid for the container it was in as opposed to the food itself. As someone who grew up near the city and currently lives down the shore with a ton of delicious cultured food, I could not believe the pricing. It seemed almost criminal. I've attached pictures of the pricing that was listed and the container of $3 guacamole. Food was decent. I have an amazing restaurant by me that you can feed a family of 5, heaping portions, amazing service, and absolutely delicious food! Call me spoiled, but was floored. read more

Quesadillas with pork and pineapple- are the best. The PEACH Sangria is delicious. I'll go back soon.

My favorite local place to go for a quick bite or a fabulous margarita! The tacos and nachos are great and the hamburgers are awesome too. The staff is always friendly and quick. The ambiance is very pleasant and cozy. Always look ok forward to meeting up here with friends. read more

Jess and Caeley are the best bartenders ever. Their service was top notch and they make delicious drinks. If I opened a restaurant, they'd be my first two hires. THEY ARE THE BEST! read more

Great portion for the grilled chicken burrito bowl and you get a choice of a side. I chose a side salad which came with a citrusy dressing. The chips and house salsa are delicious. The salsa is garlicky and chips were fresh. I prefer the burrito bowls/quesadillas over the tacos. Inside is casual and colorful with the tex mex theme. Usually get take out and enjoy this dish! read more

Yelpers REALLY got this place wrong! Bland, flavorless, inauthentic disappointment on a plate. The rice tasted like Minute Rice. I'm guessing these positive reviews are from locals who haven't ever traveled anyplace where real TexMex is served. It's possible this place is good for happy hour drinks, but the food was awful. We had high hopes, but no bueno. read more

Food was delicious! The rice was perfectly cooked! The guac is sooooooo delicious. We came in for a QUICK lunch. My favorite things about this restaurant was the service tho! Those ladies deserve a raise! We had to get in and get out quickly and so we did. Our food arrived fast! I asked for the check while still eating and I got it right away. Not a single problem. Great food - superb customer service! Will be back to try the margaritas! read more

Ugh. Nothing on the menu was really appealing so I picked something just to try instead of leaving. Nothing but tacos and the worst margarita I have ever had - how can you screw that up??? So expensive, not attended to and most of all overpriced! read more

Wife and I have been coming here for years now, probably a decade! It's got a really nice dining area and bar, the food is always really good; I enjoy the burritos tacos quesadillas burgers and well everything really. The drinks are also really good; being here on margarita Monday enjoying one of their house margaritas today. The service has always been great the wait staff is very friendly and attentive. Overall I highly recommend read more

Surprisingly good margaritas, decent food. It's tex-mex, so a notch below authentic Mexican, but the meat in my carne asada tacos tasted good, the free chips and salsa were addictive and the service was very friendly, professional, and fast. I will come back. read more

Authentic Tex Mex at its best! For the life of me, I'm not sure why I don't have more photos from one of my local, go-to favorites. I am a frequent flyer to this cool, low-key spot. I can only surmise that when it arrives at my table (whether it be there at the restaurant or take-out at home) we just literally dig in. It's that good! Now that I'm aware, I'll update with photos on my future visits, which is guaranteed. Also, let's not forget about the service here...just like it's food everyone from the wait staff to the cashiers to its managers are super nice & friendly. From the house-made chips & salsa, to nachos, to empanadas, burritos, tacos, fajitas and soooooo much more, you can't go wrong with whatever you order even when you misorder like me. After a very long day, I called in an order on my way home. Unknowingly in my tired state of mind, I ordered a mesquite chicken wrap instead of a mesquite chicken burrito. It wasn't till I pulled it out of the bag looking at it that I distinctly remembered saying, "wrap" not "burrito" -- go figure?!?! If it had been any other place else, I probably would have been so annoyed. Staying true to what I love about Del Fuego, where basically everything they make is yummy, it was indeed delicious. And unfortunately for other Tex Mex places, my foodie bar is hard to compete with Del Fuego. Try it and you won't regret it!! read more

Well I guess it's time for me to admit to the fact that I'm old. There it is, I said it. I don't feel any better but whatever. I really like the food here. A lot of times Mexican places just drown the food in salt, but thankfully del fuego does not which is awesome. The food is flavorful and we had zero issues getting a table for 4 on a Saturday night with no reservation. Back to the part about me being old. This place is LOUD! It wasn't even anywhere near capacity and we were struggling to have a conversation. Next time if the weather permits we might eat outside. read more

Del Fuego has always been our go to Mexican spot. Always good food, drinks and service. Although last night I was quite disappointed. I was there with my husband and 2 year old son. My 2 year old started to get fussy after we paid so we left quickly not to disturb others and left our leftovers on the table. We brought my son out to the car and it was then I realized I forgot my leftovers. My husband went back inside, no exaggeration, 2 minutes later and our table was completely cleaned and leftovers were gone. My husband asked a worker if they had them and they said no. I couldn't believe they would throw them away within 2 minutes. We had a decent amount of leftovers left. I've worked in restaurants before and we keep leftovers at least 10min to see if patron would return. read more

Great food, delicious margaritas and friendly service! Outdoor seating during the summer is a nice option.

Great menu and service. Quick seating, pleasant staff, made exceptions easily to menu. Drinks were big and very tasty.

Excellent food in considerable portion sizes. The staff were efficient and friendly, particularly Nil and Bobby. I recommend the egg rolls! read more

Great place for quick lunch with drinks. They have a special lunch menu. We decided to both get three tacos, you get to pick which meat you would like with your tacos and then you can pick the type of shell. You have a choice then of rice and beans or a side of fries. We decided to go with the side of fries and one with rice and beans. We ordered the children's cheese quesadilla and it came with a side of fries. We both had the pineapple margarita, if we had longer, I would've gotten another one. You first start with chips and salsa. Food came out in what seemed like less than 10 minutes. All of the food was great. The staff so attentive and patient. There's a lot of seating, seating at the bar, and even outdoor seating. I would've been happier if there was a changing table in the bathroom but just decided to change the baby in the booth we were sat in ‍ read more

The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the food & drink specials were great! We look forward to returning to Del Fuego.

We were sat right outside the door and there wasn't much foot traffic to worry about, overall I'd say the ambience of the restaurant earns at least 1 star by itself. The music playing in the background sounded live, yet it wasn't. The service was great, our server Kenneth was a pleasure to deal with, however he was quite slow with our check when we were finished. The Birria tacos were phenomenal, Burger and Fries were near perfection. The Buffalo Chicken Burrito had an uneven distribution of Buffalo sauce, allowing only 1 in 10 bites to have buffalo sauce in them. Overall, the burrito was alright. Overall, It was was a pleasant experience read more

This place is a long-standing staple of amazing Mexican food in our quaint little town. As soon as you walk in, it has a warm, upbeat, vibrant atmosphere. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Your food comes quickly when you order it as well. I do not drink alcohol due to health conditions, but I have heard the sangria from friends who have dined with me is incredibly fresh and tasty. My favorite go-to meal are the pulled pork tacos with pickled red onions. There are so many taco joints in the general area, but I have never tasted anything like it and it's wonderful. Moist pork, and the pickled red onions are a great foil to the richness of the pork. Fresh tortillas, tasty guacamole.... Yes, I absolutely love this place! One word of advice - the last time we went there in the summertime, they did not take Apple Pay/tap to pay for takeout, and I couldn't find my debit card at the time so I had to go to the bank and take cash out. Not a big deal - just good to know! read more

Always great food at DF!! a very pleasant girl took my order over the phone. When I picked it up everything was ready and everyone was pleasant! Delicious! read more

love del fuego! good food and great service always! I recommend the Pineapple Express margarita!

I love coming to Del Fuego - probably the best Mexican food you can get for the price and the ambience when you're inside the restaurant. My good friend's uncle owns all of the franchises and so I pay homage to that all the time. Our server Tommy was a sweetheart. Someone didn't like their drink at the table and he got us a new one immediately - with no hesitation he switched them. I ordered 3 beef tacos for Taco Tuesday and they were delicious - paired with a Corona Extra and you have yourself a great night. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some Tex-Mex food! read more

Good people, good vibes and good food. Love Tex Mex in general and Del Fuego hits the spot whenever I have a craving. We come out to Long Island in the summer and make it a point to stop at Del Fuego. We love the shrimp burrito. The flour tortilla is everything and the salad with the mango and jicama is a classy touch. I always order the burrito with no beans and crema on the side -- and the kitchen always gets it right. Major props. read more

Went to Del Fuego with family from Maryland including two toddlers and one person who required gluten free diet. Two add'l latecomers were seated.

Passed by this place on a ride one day. Busy place which is a good sign. Great lunch specials and prices. I ordered the chimichanga very good and large portion just would've liked it to be a bit crispier. The rice was okay but tasted like from a pre seasoned box but not a deal breaker. The tacos delicious 3 tacos and a drink $10 on lunch special. Great service! We will be retuning!! Definitely check this place out. read more

Service was excellent. Price was reasonable. It has its place - happy hour and cheesey snacks for me. Certainly not real Mexican, but can totally hit the spot when in the mood for this type of food. Drinks good as well. I went to another location- Patchogue I think - this one is def better. read more

3 Yums We were warmly and promptly greeted and seated. Our waitress was attentive and friendly I'm rating it a 3 because the food should and could be hotter. We ordered a burrito and carnitas. They were flavorful but I prefer the food to be hot it out was lukewarm. The drinks were delicious The music is annoying but I'm over 60 and this rap hurts. read more

Came in last night for a quick bite and just finishing my leftovers now. After a long day of driving up and down the Island, I settled on Del Fuego for dinner- boy am I glad I did. Upon entering, I was greeted by a friendly host who offered a seat in the dining room but being it was just me, I opted for the bar. I had the chicken bacon ranch quesadilla paired with a perfect margarita. The barkeep, Annie, gave immaculate service with a smile on her face. Given it was a Sunday, the restaurant was slow, so not sure if I should expect that kind of service on a Friday evening. There were plenty of TVs to enjoy sports games and room to socialize. Overall, 6 stars and will be coming back. read more

Went for lunch and the food was amazing. Great lunch deals and Nacho Average Thursday. A little disappointed in the service. They had just opened for lunch, wasn't crowded but the server at the other end gave his customers their sodas right away... while mine hung out at the bar chatting and I needed to ask for water and our soda because the food arrived. Then waited to eat my food because there was no water or soda. A little annoyed but luckily food was great and price was well worth it. I would just get a diff server next time. read more
