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!

Ordered for delivery as pick was not available. I don't mean to be a Mexican food snob, but the…read morefood was not good. Couldn't taste any spices. Not even salt. Very bland and the tortilla used for the burrito was tough and looked like a whole wheat wrap. Will not buy food here again. What a waste of money. Only good thing was the food came quick and packaged well.

I ordered delivery from Ahumado to try out last week. Positive: creative taco combinations and they…read morewere pretty decent sized (2 was enough to make me not hungry, I saved the 3rd I ordered for a few hours later). I tried 3 different types of tacos: Beef Brisket, Greco chicken and Fajita chicken and prices were $5 to $5.50 each. I'd rank them in that order from best to least best. Needs work: I ordered at 12:10 with an eta of 12:55 which worked because I had several meetings beginning at 1:30 but the food didn't arrive until 1:20 which required super fast less enjoyable eating.

Kind of a bare bones place with one long bar height table by the window, a table for 4 & a table…read morefor 2. Clean but spare looking. Other than a giant map of Puerto Rico & a couple of mini-signs of hot sauces, there is very little wall decor. The very friendly service makes up for the minimalist interior. Order at the counter & pick up your food in cardboard containers on trays. Comprehensive menu of many kinds of empañadas plus chicken tenders, side diy, desserts, sodas, etc. Pre-made empañadas are brought to the restaurant, placed in small, open bags, are kept warm in a glass case & are replenished throughout the day. We each got a Combo meal which included 2 empanadas, a soda & fries (rice & beans, as a substitute, cost a dollar more). When our order arrived incorrect, they were swift to fix it in a mist gracious way. Prices are very affordable.

There is something deeply respectable about a kitchen that doesn't play games with portions. Over a…read moredozen visits to Mi Tierrita, and the baseline truth remains undefeated: the food is cooked exceptionally well, and the platters are monstrous designed to easily feed two. TIn regards to the decor, this isn't a place chasing modern trends, and it's all the better for it. The rotisserie chicken has that perfect, deeply seasoned skin that only comes from a kitchen that knows its craft, and the salmon is a exceptional. It's an authentic, unapologetic Colombian staple where you can just head to the bar, grab a cold beer, watch the game, and get exactly what you came for. Food (4/5): Fantastic. The rotisserie chicken is packed with flavor, and the salmon is consistently excellent. The sheer volume of food is staggering. Customer Service (3.75/5): Reliable and down-to-earth. The staff keeps things moving smoothly, whether you're at a table or sitting at the bar. Decor (3.5/5): It isn't modern, but it doesn't need to be. It feels accurate, warm, and entirely right for an authentic neighborhood Colombian spot. Price: Around $25 per person. In an era of shrinking plates and rising prices, the value you get for the sheer amount of quality food here is a total steal.

First time I've been to taqueria and I was impressed. My girlfriend and I walked down beech st and…read morewe wanted to try a new restaurant that we haven't been to yet. I was happy with taqueria. Very chill vibe and casual which we were looking for. The drinks looked very good but we didn't have any (an excuse to go back ). Prices are Long Beach standards but the yuca empanadas were fairly normal and didn't stand out. The enchiladas were good but could use a little more meat and a larger serving size. I would get something else on the menu. The street corn was absolutely amazing and will be getting that again. If you're looking for something casual or maybe a pregame spot, I would 100% recommend Taqueria.

Beware though....there are other restaurants with the same name. NOT THE SAME. Only the one in Westbury is the authentic restaurant. Lino is THE BEST. The margaritas are excellent, the food is freshly prepared and delicious. The staff is accommodating and awesome. We will never go anywhere else. Try their black bean soup - the BOMB! Their salsa is amazing, too. We bring home a quart to go! You will not be sorry.

Overall great experience!…read more It was my first time visiting this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The ambience was very comforting. Good music very nice crowd. Awesome drinks! The alcapurria was not greasy at all! The Bistec Encebollado was done medium and actually came out flavorful and medium! Fresh onions, and the arroz con gondulez were not salty or hard. from the bottom of my heart, this was a very at home meal for the culture! I heard they do a karaoke night! I 100% will be back!

They even have an event area, complete with a dominos table right in the center, and a gorgeous outdoor space that's perfect for relaxing.

The servers were incredibly friendly and the restaurant was immaculate. Everything traveled really well and was still hot when we got home.

This is definitely going to be a go-to spot for us. Highly recommend if you're in the area!
