We have had lunch and dinner on multiple occasions, both dining in as well as take out and they truly deliver quality options with wonderful service.

Honestly the worst Mexican food/ Latin food I've ever tasted. Service was stunning in fact she was…read morereally nice and considerate. The food on the other hand was DISGUSTING. The rice had a moldy taste to it and was sticky and unseasoned. The beans tasted like coffee, not even joking, I even had to add lemon so that they could at least be eatable. The carne was good but again wasn't the best. If you want some good Mexican/Latin food call ur damn mom. It was pretty dirty around the entrance and the tables were sticky. Only giving 1 star because I'm forced to.

Servers are friendly and service is very much an, "ask-and-you-shall-receive" type of place. If you're not used to speaking up to get drink refills, calling over your server to order, or anything else you'd like, you probably wouldn't be comfortable here. Personally, this is my type of place because I don't need servers hanging all over me while I shovel delicious food into my mouth. My favorites are their arroz con pollo, short ribs, and Bandeja Montanera.

Ordered chile rellenos, the three taco meal, and had a pork belly appetizer that we shared between us. Took most of it home, and I have to say, I love Mexican/Latin food, but this was the blandest selection of food I have had since trying a can of Amy's vegetarian Tom Kha soup. Amy sucks every last bit of flavor, joy and life from Thai cuisine, and while the food at Don Quixote wasn't depressing, it lacked what I expect from Latin food: A little spice, some savor, cultural pride maybe. I guess that's why we hadn't been back. But, if you look at reviews, most others seem to like it pretty well, so you'll have to decide for yourself. I may have been there too early, just as the kitchen was warming up, or maybe just an "off" day. Your experience may vary.

Prices have been raised, as noted by other Yelpers, but I still found them to be quite modest for the portion and quality of food. The restaurant was nicely decorated with some paintings. The woman working at the counter was friendly as well. Feeling hungry for lunch, my mom and I ordered a pupusa with beans, cheese, and pork along with a chicken empanada (the empanada order comes with 2). All of the food tasted homemade and very delicious. The pupusa had the right amounts of filling. The empanadas had a crispy exterior and a nice cheese pull as you bit into them. The chicken was also very juicy and tender. Note that the pupusa included with beans, cheese, and pork comes out cheaper than the pupusa included with just cheese and pork... Go figure! The only downside is that they don't offer dessert, but I'll definitely return next time to try more items on their menu... including their tacos! Highly recommend.

Menu clearly shows cash and charge prices. If you don't want the rice and beans that come with lunch and want tostones (green) instead there is an upcharge which the waiter did not advise us about this. We're spoiled by the many Dominican restaurantsthat we visited in NYC like El Gran Castillo which has a larger menu and offers bread and more choices (rice & beans or salad & plantains) for the same price. For Long Island this is a decent place and we'll be back. Brunch items look promising.
