I tried this spot because it's Halal Mexican. I would say for that reason, this is worth a shot. The ambiance is clean and well lit. The service was nice- we were served promptly and they didn't mind answering any questions we had. What we had: Birria Taco- it was fresh, that's all I can really say. The beef could benefit from more seasoning. Not the best birria taco, I've had better. Build your own burrito bowl- (white rice, mango salsa, chicken, guac, sour cream, lettuce, corn) it was a fresh bowl, the chicken was tasty. Although the rice is flavorless. Chips and queso- definitely bagged chips. Queso was watery I will try this place again and probably order something different. read more

A few tables and chairs inside but they aren't comfortable. Most people take out. This basically is a generic Chipotle with less choices, nothing special. My bowl was on the light side, stingy with the portions. This was a one and done for me. read more

This place has a huge variety of options but the taste of the food is okay. The place was very clean and service was fine. They are open late so it's a much better option than fast food. read more

Staff is extremely slow. Made an online order and it took over an hour to complete. The order was still wrong. Food is average.

Changing my previous 4* review to 3* because in my most recent review service took a strong negative dip. I explain in the service section. Food was good though. Things are somewhat in the style of Chipotle's but there's some interesting differences. Food 5/5 - The food was all very fresh and tasty. What's even better is that they don't skimp on the meats. On my Performance bowl they gave me two scoops of chicken and a scoop of steak. After everything else was added it was quite a hardy meal. I remarked several times when eating it how good it was. They give you a side of Tortilla chips on the side. The mango salsa was very tasty and flavorful. They will add more on top of the typical ingredients if you want. Service 2/5 - Service was problematic. I visited for a second time about a month after opening. The first time there were about 6 people behind the counter taking care of customers. Things were moving smoothly. It appears though that the "new restaurant routine" is settling down and we can now see what the long term staffing plan will be like. I visited on Saturday evening at about 5pm. There were about 11 customers in the establishment with 1 person fulfilling orders and ringing people up. The young woman was trying very hard to keep up -- in fact, she was sweating! This is clearly a management issue. In fact there didn't seem to be anyone managing. The result was a long wait. This is the kind of thing that over time will cause a resturant to fail. The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars is because of how hard the woman was working to try and catch up. Atmosphere 4/5 -- Seems like there could be more tables added if they wanted. There's a lot of empty floor space. The decor was OK. Not stunning but no issues. They could use more of a "Vibe" like a genre of music or whimsy decorations to fit their theme. Cleanliness 5/5 - It's new, so it should be very clean and it was. Importantly, the people preparing the food were wearing hats. Food had no after affects on digestion. The bathroom was clean but for reasons passing understanding they didn't have any paper towels or hand dryers, so prepare to come out with wet hands. That may be a condition of them being new. It passed an inconspicuous area dust test. Value - 4/5 - It's not cheap, two performance Bowls was $31 but it was VERY good. One thing that kind of made me raise my eyebrow was that the Guacamole is ALWAYS (per their menu) an extra dollar. I suppose that would be fine if this was not **Guac** Time. That seems like a terrible thing to charge extra for. Kind of like a wing place charging extra for wings. Parking - 5/5 - Huge lot. No issues. Overall 3 / 5 - The food is good. I personally enjoy Chipotle's and Right Coast Taqueria but I would say that the food here is better. Primarily because of the tasty food and they don't skimp on the meats. A bit expensive but there's value there. Note To Restaurant: There should never be one person behind the counter. ESPECIALLY at dinner time or on the weekends. Finally, Go to a scenic vista where you can ponder the meaning of life in solitude and ask yourself, "why are we charging extra for the Guac?" (The management does not appear to be active on Yelp or Google. Not a good sign either.) I had this as a repeat place to go, but now that I had this service issue, I'm tapping the brakes. read more

This place was pretty solid. You are getting the bang for your buck when you go because the definitely pack everything super well. Th quality of the food was definitely there, but I wasn't the biggest fan of halal taste that the chicken had. If it something that you are into, flavor wise, you will definitely love this place! Like I said before, the food was definitely high quality and you definitely got a lot for what you pay for. The chips and guacamole were also delicious as well as the birria tacos! This is a great option if you are looking for mexican place, similar to chipotle but looking for your money to get you a little more food! read more

Eat here at Guac Time twice a week. Foods decent when fresh. Service is quick usually. Portions in the last month have genuinely gotten increasingly smaller. Not sure what management thinks is right but being cheap is not the answer. Paying $7 for guacamole and the container is 70% full makes me never want to come again honestly. read more

Wasn't my personal cup of tea based off flavor alone... Chipotle is better 1000%. I think it's worth it for me to drive the extra 5 minutes down the road to eat at the Chipotle there.The service here was average, the food was ok... was a little bland... even with that Cilantro sauce. The dining room and food line were super clean!! Portion sizes are small compared to chipotle in my opinion. The owner was actually the one to fill my order... he made sure to be skimpy lol. Overall, meh. read more

Guac Time - a bowl of salad with tortillas - Mexican Near Me - North Babylon, New York

The food was okay and it does fill you up, so I can't say it was bad. The portions seemed fine but honestly I thought it was too expensive for what I got. Like if I'm paying that much I kinda expect a bit more quality. The real problem though was I actually found a hair in my food, which just totally threw me off. That's not something you wanna deal with when you're already questioning the price. read more

I was recommended this place recently and I have been back multiple times! The food is fresh and the portions they give are huge. I never finish in one sitting. They also have more options than chipotle and give you more bang for your buck as well. The only thing I was disappointed in was the queso because it was so watery that it kept sliding off the chips, other than that everything is delicious. read more

First time trying this establishment. Employee walked out of the back with wet soiled gloves and began making me a bowl. I watched her touch every item of food with her nasty gloves. When I got to the register I told the cashier I would not be paying for that bowl because it was completely cross contaminated and that new clean gloves should have been used. She agreed and made me a new bowl. I paid and then threw it in the trash as I walked out realizing that the same employee probably prepped the food like that in the back. Wasn't worth risking food poisoning. And I will def never go back. read more

The best food ive had, I love their bowls and they never fail to be delicious. The workers are also super nice. Its very clean and spacious in the inside and makes for a nice chill dinner or lunch spot. read more

I like going here sometimes because you're getting good portions which is worth the price but they definitely need new staff. Within the past couple of months of going, I've noticed that the ambience is very unwelcoming. I feel very uncomfortable in there and the staff look very uninviting. They give you attitudes when they mess up your order or sometimes just have an attitude before you even get in there which makes me not even want my food half the time. I would recommend this place, but I'll probably be going to another location. read more

Yay! This place did not disappoint! I looked at reviews of other locations and they were sort of mixed but mostly for deliveries so I decided to give this new location a try. Wow! The ingredients felt very fresh and were very tasty. I got a chicken bowl with guac (pictured). Usually set-ups like these leaving me with a stomachache but not here! It's a little quiet in here but as we were leaving they turned on music which made it better. Service was quick as well. Def will be back! Recommends read more

First - lets start with the positive. The inside of the place is nice and the workers are sweet. They were very caring & attentive. Now for the negative. I ordered a barbacoa burrito with chips and queso. The burrito was extremely unseasoned. It was unbearable to eat. For prices that high, your food should have a lot more flavor. One thing I did like - the queso. It's got a spicy kick to it; but with my chips, I noticed that was way too much salt. Only a few chips were bearable to eat. In the burrito I got: barbacoa, Mexican rice, pico de gallo, mexican corn, jalapeños, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. Barbacoa is a meat that should be bursting with flavor, as well as Mexican rice. I did not taste either of them. The inside of the place has no flaws. A beautiful sign, beautiful decor. The worst thing about it is the food. I genuinely thought this would be my new spot - but I was let down. To the workers; thank you. Your service was great. The food is just a problem. Start using more seasoning with your meats & rice. Take all that salt you use on the chips, and add it to your rice. Disappointed and upset. Paid $21 and the only thing worth it was the tiny cup of queso. Stick to Chipotle. read more

Upon entering the overall atmosphere was uninviting. The employee taking our order was completely unenthusiastic and didn't feel like he was present. He was EXTREMELY skimpy when it came to preparing the bowl i was ordering and proceeded to charge me extra for what most would consider a reasonable serving size. Honestly, the service experience was bad and the food definitely did not make up for it. The entire bowl did not touch any seasoning. $32 wasted. read more

Food is comparable to other Mexican restaurants. Beware with the buy one get one free with Uber eats. Ordered and immediately noted on the receipt that there was only one and no free burrito. Called the restaurant and was told it went through Uber eats and contact them. Called uber eats and was told they could not correct glitches in system And could only cancel the order if it wasn't ready to go and if we cancel after it is ready it's a $42 charge. Of course we were told it was ready 10 min after we called to order with an estimated delivery to us in 45 min when ordered. This was a Free Burrito!!! No more Uber eats or Guac Time read more

Ever since my first time having Guac time I can't stop going. Today I had the chance to introduce it to my bf. It was quiet when we walked in and it got busy while we enjoyed our meal there was one girl behind the counter when it got busy and she handled it well from what I saw. The food is good I love the shrimp and honey chipotle chicken that's my favorite go to. The restaurant was clean and in order. I will be back. read more

Very impressed. As a food critic, I'm always skeptical about new Mexican style places. Got a bowl, quesadilla and chips and guac at 8:30 pm. All the food was very flavorful, fresh and hot. Quesadilla was loaded with chicken and cheese. Generous portions in the bowl. The cilantro as a topping gives it more flavor. Chips were crunch and fresh. Tons of cool sauces. Nice people behind the counter. Will go back for sure. read more

I witnessed an unpleasant interaction between the manager and another employee. He was blatantly disrespectful and unprofessional. If this is how employees are treated here then there needs to be a change in management or this establishment will not succeed. It was truly disgusting to watch and observe. read more

GuacTime might have decent food, but is not run by decent people!!! the owners verbally abuse their staff publicly, young girls mostly, who work hard behind their counters, and they aren't intelligent enough to realize that others can see them....they have little caring about the employees, the customers, and when others standup for their young female employees, they are abusive to them as well, even if they are parents and adults that can stand up for themselves. They rarely if ever hire young male employees, my guess is because they are afraid of getting the butts kicked!!! I know this because my granddaughter was one of those employees and my daughter has a tape of the reaction the owner had when my granddaughter tried to quit and collect her last check!!! OH NO!!! This should not happen to anyone!!! regardless of the quality and taste of the food, DO NOT frequent GuacTime....I am not posting any stars, simply because this isn't about the food, it is about simple human decency!!! In a world where we now stand up for and speak out on social issues which have plagued us for generations, this is UNACCEPTABLE!!! This is not what we want to teach our children and how we want them treated!!! Remember GuacTime....and Go to Taco Bell!!!! read more

I had the quesadilla. It was delish! Big and i ate the whole thing lol. Friends got the nachos, salad bowls, tacos, taco bowl, etc... everyone loved them. Only complaint was that the steak was extremely tough. Wouldn't get that again. It was ready quickly but ate it at home. read more

0 stars from my side. better to eat from somewhere else or eat at home rather than going and talking with the staff present there. It's just the one fish in the pool and the whole reputation of the restaurant is ruined. NEVER GOING BACK read more

The food is fresh and the place is clean. The taste of the ground beef and some of their other protein have a very unique flavor as if they were catering to a specific race (Asian) not everyone is a fan of curry flavor. If you happen to be in this place go safe and order the fry fish lol they use to have shrimp when they first opened but the ended up putting curry on that as well. it's no longer on the menu. Go easy on the seasoning read more

open until 2am every night has a really awesome menu i got a rice bowl with any toppings plus buffalo cauliflower, i usually pass on it because cauliflower and the vegan protein replacement is usually meh but it looked and is so good!!! the mango sauce is the only vegan sauce and is also so good!!!! they had impossible meat too! healthy plant based food available until late! definitely a new staple for me staff tonight also really was awesome wish i caught their names great service and a awesome vibe everything looked really clean full and in rotation! read more

This, by far, is the most disappointing Mexican food I ever tasted, save your time, stomach, and money.I never would have yepled them but because I wanted to call them and let them know that the meat was not hot unseasoned with every add on bland the call goes to someone's voicmail I am yelping them. read more

Steak was tough, dry & bland. Asked for salsa, rice & beans on the side but they were all on the tacos, so they don't read their orders carefully. Nothing had flavor honestly. Wouldn't rush back here read more

The food is very good but the customer service is not good at all. The employees have AirPods while on the job.

Just like Grandma's cooking was! Such a great value & so delicious, that when I was done eating at the restaurant, I ordered the same burrito bowl again & took it home for dinner tomorrow! read more

I just ordered Guac Time through Uber Eats, and I wish I up reviews for this place before I did. Apparently, if you don't click some hard to see button, you don't receive the 2 free tacos as advertised with your meal. I'm now seeing on here that this is a trend with this place. So after I apparently chose to pay $15 for 2 small tacos instead of 4, I called up and spoke to a woman that was ready to go with the accusations of me not knowing how to properly place an order. It seems like she's had some practice with this whole "you only get the free tacos if you find the hidden button" game. So after a few minutes of her repeatedly telling me how I don't get the tacos and I also don't get to pay half the price now that I received half of the order that I was expecting. So sadly, I will not be participating in Guac Times Find The Free Taco Button anymore. It's a shame because the 2 very small tacos were delicious. But between the mystery button and the very rude woman on the phone, I won't be ordering from them again. Uber Eats told me to beat it, too. read more
