Chicken Burrito w/Avocado  delicious!
Linda K.

I was so happy to see a Homemade Taqueria store open in nearby Hempstead. Got a takeout order of chips 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!

Keepin it real out here in Hempstead Solid tacos as usual, idk if the homemade flavor is 100% there now that it's a chain but i honestly really enjoy these tacos. Always enough flavor (for me) and presentation is on point. Always consistent too. Will visit again

Fish Tacos
Kia B.

This is my new favorite spot for fish tacos in Hempstead. The fish is moist, seasoned well and tasty even without the extras. Just delicious. Friendly customer service as well. Deducted one star because I thought the chicken meat was a little dry

A wonderful little place. Friendly and knowledgeable service and fresh delicious food.

Chicken quesadilla
Yanel S.

This restaurant isn't reasonable with the portion sizes to match the prices. I ordered for the first time and I was in complete shock to what I received. I ordered the Al pastor tacos and the chicken quesadilla's which I paid for extra protein and the quesadilla was more lettuce than anything. Never again!!!

Combo 2

In lieu of cinco de mayo i insitited to my husband we order it to eat for lunch instead of dinner. he is so happy i made that decision after hearing countless friends order from other places and have had many long waits for their food at other establishments. this was also the first time i used doordash (welcome to 2020 for me) after looking at what doordash photos and yelp reviewers i ordered away. loved the veggie nachos that was a great find, the al pastor was super stuffed! the chicken tostada i shouldver ordered a second because it was delish. my husband ordered combo 2 and was very happy. the order came within 40 minutes after placing it i was shocked and it was still warm! looking forward to ordering again maybe this time at the establishment!

Al pastor

I was very happy with the delivery service from here until I found 2 pieces of hair in my food yesterday evening. Previously I had no nightmares happen when dining in and ordering delivery. I actually enjoyed their food. Everyone makes mistakes but not at the expense of our health during COVID19. Why not wear a hair net ? Why risk that ? They say fast food isn't good and good food isn't fast.

Ordered food through GrubHub it was a great decision to do so.The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the meal. The Empanadas, mushroom quesadilla and a chorizo torta we're well prepared and delicious. Will order again from this place again or go to the restaurant and enjoy more delicious selections from menu.I highly recommend you give them a try this place out.

The tacos are legit!
Bill S.

I have a Mexican buddy who dismisses me every time I say, Man.. I had some legit tacos last week! He shakes his head and says Hello No! I told them, this place Homemade Taqueria, it even has an app! Now he laughs and calls me a gringo?! My experience with Homemade Taqueria has been nothing but stellar. Walking in just before noon, I have the place to myself. I quickly ordered a Horchata to get the taco party started. For my taco choices, I did the holy taco trinity: Pork, Al Pastor and Chorizo. The woman behind the counter, God bless her. She was trying to explain Homemade Taqueria has a phone app. You can get points towards a free lunch?? I love free. I also loved the salsa bar! Lots of great choices, all made with fresh herbs. This salsa bar made my tacos pop! My tacos come to me and man are they bangin'. The chorizo was my favorite, just the right amount of kick on a freshly made taco shell. The meats Homemade Taqueria used all tasted great. The fresh herbs used in their salsa was award winning and homemade. If you're looking for a great and authentic taco place in Nassau county, Homemade Taqueria should be on your short list.

Empanadas (Order of 3)
Kiernan G.

The food is good, plenty of vegetarian options and the meals are a great size. The service is decent/average, they're quick and polite. Overall the store is cute and the decorations make it a very quaint and inviting restaurant to be in. Only bad thing is the empanadas, I brought a friend and me and her couldn't get past one or two bites of the cheese or chicken empanadas.

Chicken Tostada
Lesley O.

I recently ordered from Homemade Taqueria and it was delivered very quickly, the food was still hot so it was extremely fresh, and what should be crispy still had the crispness to it. That's a huge success when ordering food to be delivered!! I had the most delicious shrimp tacos that were so fresh and flavorful and the crispy chicken tostada which was so crisp and the creaminess from the avocado was a superb juxtaposition. The guacamole was really good and the tortilla chips made fresh, as the oil seeping into the bag let's you know. Definitely a great choice to mix things up and would definitely order again from Homemade Taqueria and looking forward to trying more things!!

The #1

Referred to me by a friend. All the food was hot fresh and tasty. Not one complaint. Taste like it just came out of the Mexico itself. I would highly recommend this place.

The food is good, the service is good, the place looks clean. They do use a couple of apps so you get the food deliver to you.

Ropa Vieja and the pernil are my go to's and they are on point. Service is also above board. The thing with this place is the experience, between the decor, food and ambience, it always feels so elegant and special. Add a bonus star if you catch the live Cuban music.

The good : Overall food was good, we ordered empanadas (shrimp and beef ) they tasted really good with the accompanied chimichurri sauce . We got our boys skirt steaks with fries and my wife and I had to half chickens and pernil respectively . Their mojitos are really good but unfortunately, they didn't have lemonade (soda ) so we ended up paying. $6 each for kid sized house made lemonade which was kinda a waste as my older didn't like it and I didn't want to bother sending it back . The bad: I am taking off a star because we had to wait a long time to get our check. I had asked for the check and a doggy bag, but had to flag my waiter down again to remind him to bring my check. Apparently the kids eat free special has to be approved by a manager . It felt like we waited 15-20 minutes till we got our check , by that time my kids were extremely irritated and my wife was pissed off. I know it's not the waiters fault but the restaurant wasn't that busy and I can't see why they couldn't have gotten this taken care of earlier . Sadly because of this incident, my wife does not want to come back here anymore knowing it takes forever to check out .

I'm a very indecisive person, and he was incredibly patient, attentive, and knowledgeable while helping me decide what to order. I had no idea Tacombi offered fish and shrimp tacos, I thought the menu was mostly beef, chicken, and pork. Rene recommended the fried fish tacos, and they were absolutely incredible. Honestly, they were some of the best tacos I've had in New York, and that's coming from someone who lives in NYC! Such a pleasant surprise. Rene also recommended our drinks, and everything was spot on. The esquites were delicious, and the bartender Bryan even came to our table to explain what a michelada was, which added a really nice personal touch to the experience. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. Everyone made us feel genuinely taken care of, and it created such a fun atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend Tacombi to anyone looking for amazing tacos and outstanding service. Thank you, Rene, for making our visit so memorable. we'll definitely be back!
