This time my sisters dragged me out for girls night with some of our other mom friends. Friday nights are fun because they have a mariachi band. They sang happy birthday to me and it was fabulous! I don't drink anymore so I had a virgin mojito and it was sooooo yummy. The girls indulged in the margarita tree. We all had our own version of the mixed tacos. For me it was al pastor, carne asada and the shrimp and each was as tasty as the. Next! Ohhhhhh and the elote corn is something to definitely not sleep on. Thanks, Ruta, for a fun night!

Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more *Place was pretty empty. Went at 7PM on a Thursday. Price - $80 (1 appetizer, 2 entrees, tip) Food - 4/5 - good taste for price. Service - 3/5 - fine and on par. Ambiance - 3/5 - nice outside but nothing crazy. Overall - 3/5 - good spot for food. Ordered the guac and Shrimp Tacos and they both were good. The tacos were pretty killer, would come back for those alone. Service was fine, nothing to note. Outside of the restaurant is nice, bright colors and nice but inside is whatever. Good spot for food, hit the spot, would return. Best Dish - Camarones Tacos Would Return - Definitely

Service is SO SO slow. Place was a sauna. Food is bland…read more We were 2 adults 1 toddler we were the only table there, we get our drinks. The place was sooo hot and humid I could barely breathe. 10 minutes later a table of 6 comes, they order drinks, place their apps order and dinner order. 20 minutes later we STILL have not placed our food order and had to flag someone down. On top of the food taking forever, no one checked on us. I got the enchiladas verdes BLAND. Ordered a cheese quesadilla for my son, cheese was like an inch thick, we had to squeeze it out. And my husband got a chicken torta that was stale. $85 later I wish we went across the street and got sushi instead. Will definitely not be back.

The sangria had quite a punch and the michelada had me reminiscing about that one time in Mexico. We got a shrimp sopa to share which came out hot and was super tasty. Our tortas came quickly after. I got the mixto torta which had two kinds of meat, and we also got the Cubano. After they came out we realized we could have split a sandwich because they were huge. The sandwich bread was soft and the sandwich itself was delicious. Aside from the food we got, they offer kids meals and even breakfast! They also have your typical tacos and burritos. I also loved the ambiance of the place, really gave you that feel of Mexico. I honestly cannot wait to go back and try other things they have to offer.

No chips, no salsa, no flavor in the "guacamole sauce," no garnishments what-so-ever. He calls it Gordo's now, it's a spot behind the bravo in patchogue, and I'd rather just spend a fraction of the price at the corner bodega. Just not good enough to justify another trip. $40 Fool me once.

Their signature item at the moment is the much sought after birria taco but they also make papusas, tacos, and other goodies depending on the day. Be sure to follow their social media pages for more details on their pop ups because their birria taco is what dreams are made of! They're also in the works of getting a food truck so you'll be sure to see them in more parts of the island in the future! Can't wait for my next taco time!

It was good for the Americanized-type of taco with cheeses and all sorts of extra toppings, but the flavors weren't simple, crisp and clear. Dishes lack clear direction.

Price - ~$75 (appetizer, entree, drink, tip) Food - 2/5 - lacking for the price. Drinks were lacking. Service - 4/5 - friendly and on point. Ambiance - 4/5 - cool vibe inside with rooftop. Overall - 3/5 - did just about everything right except the food. Service was great. Waitress was very friendly, gave recommendations, and fun to have around. Inside of restaurant had a cool vibe and was nice to be in. Rooftop was awesome and the highlight. Unfortunately the food fell short. For the price, it was pretty lacking in taste. Portion were ok but the food was all pretty lackluster. Mussels had curry in them but could barely taste it. Tacos were pretty bland. The drinks barely had alcohol in them? They tasted fine but had 2 drinks and barely felt a thing (I know my tolerance). Unfortunate on the food when it came to here. Likely would not return. Best Dish - None to note Would Return - Probably not

I had some of the birria tacos and the Chicharrón pupusa and they were so tasty. Not in the hustle and bustle of the busy part of Main Street, El Nopal is more east Patchogue and in one of the strip mall spot, which means there is a parking lot for pickup. Even on LI this makes a difference. Food came quick and everyone enjoyed! Good to know where to find a good pupusa out in Suffolk.

I want to try something else, but the steak tacos have me in a choke hold right now I forgot to take a pic before I started eating, but definitely give this a try.
