    By far my favorite dirty taco location! The tables are not on top of each other and the location is spacious with a big bar and big tables throughout. I ordered 4 different tacos - all were unique and delicious. I love that they have so many options from chicken to steak to seafood and everything in between. I ordered fries for my side which comes with their sauce which is amazing!! I highly recommend this dish. It's a great size to share too. The service was great with our waiter constantly coming back to refill our drinks. They have many tvs with a bunch of games on, it makes for a great atmosphere. I recommend checking them out.

    I have been to all of the other dirty taco locations and finally got around to trying Smithtown. They have many different rooms with seating and a large bar with great decor all over. I ordered guacamole for an appetizer which arrived quickly and the whole table was able to enjoy some. They also have queso and salsa for other appetizer options. For my entree, I went with the steak quesadilla which wasn't soggy and had a generous amount of cheese. I enjoyed both and will definitely be ordering it again. Note - they don't take reservations so anticipate waiting during busy times. They have a large parking lot in front and along the side of the restaurant. I also want to point out the great service, our waiter was so friendly and attentive.

    Had an amazing time during our ladies night at this establishment. Bang bang shrimp taco was my favorite, along with the pulled pork taco. The sangria was okay imo. Service was phenomenal. Will definitely return.

    4/5 "Spicy Blood Orange $13- Tanteo jalapeno tequila, blood orange syrup, blood orange soda, fresh lime, sour mix, agave"- got virgin, really good, not too sweet, I do wish it was a bit more sour, when the ice melts, you're left with jalapeno water which burns like ginger in the back of your throat, but damn that jalapeño water was fire, I couldn't get enough of it, lol 5/5 "queso + chips housemade warm queso + tortilla chips- 9 (card) 9.37" 3/5 "salsa + chips housemade pico salsa + tortilla chips 8.33" Lentil salsa, decent 4/5 "guac + chips housemade guacamole, diced tomatoes, cilantro, lime + red onion - 11.5 (card) 11.97" pretty good guac 5/5 caramelized Brussels sprouts $6 - this was exceptional, slightly sweet but didn't expect it to be this good 4/5 ahi tuna $7- really good but most of the flavor is the sauce, the tuna itself needs more flavor Wish they had non-fried shrimp options, grilled would be nice 3/5 Vietnamese shrimp $7- wish it had more flavor, didn't taste the spice 3/5 sweet plantains $6.24- personally not a fan of this dish since it's too sweet but it was decent, pretty standard

    4.25 Not your average taco place. On our way back home from Riverhead, we needed to stop for lunch and remembered we wanted to check out one of these locations since it's a small chain. This one happened to be the closest, so we stopped here. The space features the decorations, graphics, and bold colors you'd expect from newer, hipper taco spots, but the menu is what truly sets it apart. It draws heavily from other cultures, especially Asian cuisine, with items like bulgogi, bang bang shrimp, and more. We ordered the habanero ribs, duck bao buns, dirty nachos, and a steak burrito. Overall, the food was pretty decent. As I've mentioned in other nacho reviews, it's important for places to layer ingredients throughout the chips, and this spot does that well, which was a plus. The duck bao buns were surprisingly decent, and the habanero ribs were okay. The burrito was my least favorite, though--despite being marinated in chimichurri, it lacked flavor. I'd definitely check out their other locations. The menu is fun, our server was nice and attentive, and I'm hoping the same experience carries over to their other spots.

    Tuna Nachos

    Went here with my friend on Cinco de Mayo & had such a good experience. The wait was pretty average for how busy it was, the food was awesome, & the service was really good. One of the best parts was being able to bring our dogs with us. There was unfortunately a situation where another table had a very hyper dog that ended up going after our dogs, but the manager handled it incredibly well. They quickly addressed the situation, asked the other party to leave, and even gave us a gift card which was really appreciated. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and handled everything with a lot of grace and professionalism. Will definitely be back & it's really nice knowing my dog is welcome too!

    This location is the best in my opinion. The ambiance is fantastic and lots of outdoor spots. The food was also delicious especially the Chayote Strings.

    Visited Dirty Taco at this location a couple of times on work trips. Each time has been a good experience. There is a bar area and a large dining area with different rooms. The cocktails in general have been consistently prepared well, and the margaritas are served in little mason jars. There is a massive array of options when it comes to the food menu, with a bit of an Asian fusion with Tex mex. I have had a number of their tacos, some of which are fantastic with bold flavors and many different garnishes and accoutrements, some were so-so and not memorable. The service is typically friendly l, and the timing is pretty good overall. If you like Mexican cuisine with an Asian influence, give this place a try! There also a number of neat pieces of edgy artwork around the place. Be sure to take a look!

    Good tacos and great vibes! A little loud to talk with your partner but not too loud that it was impossible. Service was quick and attentive, great on that front! The Mac appetizer was pretty great, nice and spicy, very flavorful! The taco trio I chose for Taco Tuesday was good. Nothing crazy but all three were enjoyable!

    Margarita with a Coronita

    Great atmosphere and decor. I had a great time. The waiter was informative, professional and friendly. I had the flour taco of southern fried chicken, shrimp and carne asada. I also had a very tasty margarita with a Coronita. The food tasted amazing and the prices were very fair. Parking was difficult but not impossible with some patience. I will definitely return.

    Tip: CASH DISCOUNT! Service: Standard. The server came around, took orders, brought orders, checked in with us, and brought our check. Nothing more, nothing less. Food: Pork Spare Rib- nice flavor. Even though it had a chili pepper on the menu indicating that it is spicy, there was no spice to it. The flavors were nice together and the pork was tender. Bang Bang Shrimp- kick of heat! This one was actually spicy and I loved it! The crispiness from the battered shrimp and the slaw had a wonderful crunch. Birria- Best! The taco had a nice crunch to the tortilla which helped the taco not fall apart. The consume was thick and flavorful! On to my next adventure...

    Chips and guacamole
    Allissa A.

    Cool ambiance. good tacos except my tofu bowl was still a little spicy even if I asked many times if it was and waiter said no so we didn't eat it. They couldn't put the sauce on the side. The rice was also undercooked and hard. The guacamole was good. They don't have any salad. Overall was average. Service is ok.

    Coconut margarita

    I loved my tacos, they were soooo good !!! It was a little noisy but all together I really enjoyed myself. Server was okay but the bus boys/ girl were great. I would definitely go back.

We were able to…read moreget a table for a party of four with no issue, and from start to finish the experience was excellent. The waitress and entire staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. To top it off, there was a young guy singing Frank Sinatra classics in the middle of the week, which gave the place such a fun and classy vibe. For appetizers, we tried the wonton nachos, which were absolutely delicious. The meatballs and mozzarella were good, though a bit heavier on the bread than I prefer. Dinner was outstanding across the board. We ordered the Chicken Caesar salad, hamburger, crab cakes, and the Rockefeller French dip, and every single dish was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is trendy, with an amazing bar and great atmosphere. I highly recommend checking this place out -- we'll definitely be back!

The old back room had been transformed into an official party room with a separate bar and restroom and closed off with decorative barn doors. The bar area offers ample seating, with the dining area ( offering table service) behind the bar wall overlooking the main stage. Greeted warmly greeted when we first entered with only a five minute wait ( we had a reservation and I highly recommend making one). Again warmly welcomed by our server Nicole who provided an outstanding service throughout the evening. Nicole was friendly, engaging and offered excellent dinner and drink suggestions. Live music was on tap on this Friday evening which did make the dining room rather loud for holding table conversations but worth the live music being played that evening. The cocktail menu offers a good and varied selection of mixed drinks and wine and the mixed drinks are both flavorful and expertly presented. I would highly recommend both the Flappers Folly ( a refreshing floral mix) and the Espresso Martini drinks. Started off with the hot honey & bacon brussel sprout appetizers which were perfectly flavored with the honey and bacon bits over crispy brussel sprouts. All main dish items were very good. The Old Sport Burgers were juicy, flavorful and all cooked to perfection served with crispy string French fries. The French Dip Au Jus was well seasoned and not to dry with a flavorful au jus. I would highly recommend the Gatsby Grain dish bowel. Shredded chicken served over jasmine rice and vegetables was outstanding and served with a side salad. Restaurant manager Cathy was very visible in the dining room checking in with every table and asking for feedback which you don't see very often nowadays. Even got a personal tour of the new party room ( looking for a location for a future event). Overall good food reasonably priced , excellent service and nice decorum with live music offered on the weekends. A great place to grab a drink and listen to music while catching a great burger or the Gatsby Grain dish bowel . You won't be disappointed.

The Honey had the meatloaf entree with two sides and I opted for the Ahi Tuna Bowl. Both meals were absolutely delicious! My bowl was bursting with lettuce, cabbage, avocado, wonton strips and the salad dressing just pulled everything together! We were satisfied but still craved dessert.

Although there was not a kids menu available in the regular one, when we inquired there was a variety offered for the young one. We got the nachos with chicken it was a HUGE PORTION, definitely too much for two adults we took more than half home. I had the Cali Roadster burger which was just my size (smaller than the traditional burgers) with avocado slices , garlic aioli and pepper jack cheese. Yummy but slightly messy wouldn't ask for that on a business lunch. The kid got Mac and cheese with some grilled chicken and mom a bison burger. Zero complaints. It was a nice first time experience. I would definitely go back to try some other stuff. I loved how the venue was an experience in itself.

But if that isn't available, you have to find a spot in the lot and then find the inconvenient sign with a QR code at a $1/hour. The bar was busy when we arrived. We were seated at a table near the windows and were able to see the amazing sunset, as well as the ferry, which both arrived and departed several times during our meal. Our server was Destiny, who was very nice and did her job well. We had ordered some cocktails which took a very long time because there was only 1 bartender attending to the crowd. As for appetizers, we chose the mozzarella steak, the garlic and herb mussels and the cauliflower bites. All were served beautifully and tasted good as well. We also asked for bread and a loaf was served warm with olive oil and a half WELL roasted garlic bulb (most likely used for decoration) but it should have been roasted a lot less for it to be used as a spread. Dinner was the steak frites, twin lobster tails and golden glaze salmon. The steak was served with a salsa verde, the lobster was accompanied by a small gravy boat of drawn butter, a half corn cob and 4 roasted baby potatoes. The salmon, was my dish and was crispy and tasty, served over broccolini stalks and purple forbidden rice. Dessert took a while to come out and we were worried that we wouldn't get back to our car for the expiration of our time. It worked out. 2 of us ordered chocolate cake and I had the cheesecake. The portions were huge! I think what took so long was that they had to open up a new cake because 1 slice was warm and fudgy, while the other was more solid and dense. Not a problem, still delicious.
