    Veggie Burrito Bowl
    Ashley M.

    Dined in for lunch and had a great experience. Such a fun, bright place and I love how they have outdoor seating for the warmer weather. They have a nice menu with options for everyone. I went with a veggie burrito bowl that had rice, beans, lettuce, an assortment of veggies, pico, and guac. It came with some chips on the side. It was seasoned well which I appreciate because I get so disappointed when I get a burrito bowl and it's not seasoned well. Our waiter was very sweet as well. I can't wait to come back!

    Fresh, fast, and friendly! Lucharitos is my go-to spot in Center Moriches for flavorful eats in a fun atmosphere. The burrito bowls, tacos, and nachos are always delicious! This restaurant is family-friendly and there's plenty of outdoor seating -- it's nice to enjoy your food in the sunshine on a warm day. Note that parking is limited, and for a busy restaurant, that's the only downside. Overall, it's some of the best Tex-Mex on Long Island. Check it out if you haven't!

    Luchritos in Center Moriches is quality establishment! I highly recommend coming here. They have a really nice outdoor area as well. But the Food is great, always delicious and never an issue. The service is good, no issues again... always happy to eat here and leaving with a smile!

    We've enjoyed the other Lucharitos locations, but we either have really bad luck here... or just dislike this location. My wife and I have been here twice, I'd give it a two star average rating. First time we ate here was a couple of years ago in the winter. It was busy, so service was a little slow because of that. It was also a little dirty, but that was probably a product of how busy it was. It's small on the inside and felt cramped. Drinks (margaritas) weren't too good and food was very mid. I'd probably give it a generous 3 stars because it was nothing special. Today we gave it another try because they've got a cute looking outside dining area, and a lot more seating in the summer. Parking is still tough, but manageable between their lot and a neighboring lot. However, our dining experience was GROSS. If they seat you at the two small tables right next to the hostess stand outside, ask to be moved. The table they sat us at often had strong wafts of SEWAGE smell coming from behind the fenced area we were sitting next to. Combined with the warm humid weather, it straight up smelled like we were eating atop a pile of other people's warm fecal matter. We regret not asking to move. We thought we could power through it and did make it through our meal. The food we got this time was pretty good... but the wafts of poop smell really put a damper on things. We were spared somewhat with a breeze that would periodically roll in from the south (direction of the parking lot and street) which I guess would blow the smell away towards the other diners outside. It was decently busy, but our service felt slow with that in mind. 1 hour after dining there and we still had the pungent odor stuck in our nostrils and both of us feel pretty ill from it until we got home and bathed. I hope this smell isn't a normal thing there. Whatever it is, they really should get it fixed. Unfortunately after today, we won't be coming back to this location.

    Three stars is for the ambiance. They have a very large outdoor space with picnic tables, cushioned couches, lawn space, lawn games, kids play things, and even a little animal farm. It sounded like they have music on the weekends too. The inside was pretty small, so definitely somewhere to enjoy when there's nice weather. Frozen margaritas with fruit purée of your choice were great on a hot day! The food, however, was not great. We ordered the bbq pulled pork nachos and while they looked great and photographed well, I was not impressed. The pulled work was maybe lukewarm and we were left with a bunch of chips with no toppings (my biggest complaint with nachos). They also use cheese sauce, which is not my preference as the chips get soggy so fast. The portion is pretty large though and good to share. Service was not great. We came on a Friday afternoon and I think the bartender was also our waiter. He barely checked on us and didn't bring out the water I asked for when first ordering. We had to go up to the outdoor bar to ask for our check. They have an ice cream truck open after 4:30pm. I'd come back for happy hour drinks and to hang out in the outdoor space. Wouldn't choose this place when specifically looking for good Mexican food though. They have a small parking lot and offer to go orders.

    Supposed to be vegetable taco. Paid too much for this!

    I have ordered take out numerous times from Lucharitos. Sadly, every order has been missing an item or order was incorrect. The prices are too high for quality of food you receive. I know there is live music and outdoor dining, which I might be willing to checkout, weather permitting. The empanada is probably your best bet in regard to the serving size you get.

    Shrimp Tacos
    Zain S.

    Without a doubt 10/10 from me! Visited Lucharitos earlier today for the first time and I highly recommend any locals or out of town folks to visit. Got there bright and early and thought that it wouldn't be too busy to get some grub but I was wrong. I arrived there at a perfect time and sat by the bar and ordered myself a nice cold brew. I started my journey with their Thai Chili chicken wings. Smokey, crispy and flavorful wings! Definitely recommend the Thai chili and also request extra sauce just to get the full flavor. 10/10 must try again! And for my mains I ordered not 1 but 3 of their shrimp tacos. Mouth full of goodness. 2 tortillas are stacked together with shrimp and their house salsa, works perfectly! The shrimps were perfectly cooked with this smokey, charred and perfectly seasoned flavor. The service and atmosphere were both excellent, loved the set up of the interior design. Definitely will be visiting more often, everything was fantastic.

    The saddest veggie taco you've ever seen

    UPDATE: A manager reached out to me and provided an apology and a full refund. Top marks for customer service. Changing my 1-star rating to 4 for that and my previous experiences. Original Review: CHECK YOUR TAKEOUT ORDER BEFORE YOU LEAVE. I made the mistake of driving a half hour in each direction to pick up takeout as my birthday dinner. My wife ordered six tacos and of them, two were complete. The other four were barely filled and missing all garnishes. I've been coming here for years and usually this place is pretty good, but disappointment doesn't even begin to describe what we're looking at here. If I had half a brain to look at my food before I left, there's no way I would have driven home with this, but after a long day out I wasn't really thinking about it. I don't know who in the kitchen was having a bad day, but they decided this takeout order was the one to take the brunt of their frustration. I emailed management to let them know, because I'm not wasting another hour of my time to get this sorted out. Until I hear from them, this review stands as a warning to anyone who wants a halfway decent meal.

There is a 3% surcharge for using a credit card. I got my order to go, as I didn't think i would be able to finish it. It arrived well packaged, in a container covered with plastic wrap. Alas, the fajitas were disappointing. Not very much meat, all of it dark meat (not my favorite), and one piece had gristle. Another two were tough. The rice was very good. One piece of tomato, possibly more, had not been cored. Ugh. But they came with a nice piece of avocado and a chunk of cheese. The peppers were good, but there weren't a lot of peppers and onions. Admittedly, Los Dos Potrillos (in Colorado) sets a VERY high standard. These fajitas were not even close. I won't order the fajitas again. Probably best to get tacos next time. Or anything BUT chicken fajitas. I do wonder if all their chicken is dark meat, like thighs. I just don't like it. I like chicken breast. Especially in fajitas. The agua fresca was delicious, but very very sweet. I got a bottle of water to cut the excessive sweetness. Needs lemon or lime juice too. This is a very bright, cheerful, fun place. They have produce and groceries! It's small, but there are several tables, and it's very clean. I will definitely be back, for tacos! Three stars for the fajitas. Four for overall experience and great service.

    Really good tacos impressed. Definitely going back would recommend. Friendly service excellentread more

Found out later that it was formerly Watami. I recognized the window view from the inside. Arrived a few minutes before our reservation, and we were seated right away at a cozy corner. The place had several tables occupied, and it looks like we got there at the right time. Drink and appetizer orders were taken, and we had a little time to look through the menu. A bottle of wine and a couple of cocktails came out and entree orders were taken promptly. I had looked it up ahead of time, and had my sights set on the Paella Valencia. We also got the Grilled Octopus (perfectly grilled and seasoned), empanadas which were smaller than I expected, but delicious (Might have been too much if they were bigger). we also had the seafood-stuffed jalapenos, and calamari for appetizers, and others in our party got the lamb chops, stuffed sole, and salmon for their mains. I finished my entire pot of paella, it was fantastic. I always like when the chef comes around to see firsthand how the guests are enjoying their meals, and Chef Nunez did just that. I think we'll bring other people here next time, there were many other items that caught my eye that reminded me of our time in Spain.

    We came here on a Thursday night in December. The parking lot was jammed packed and chaotic. Oddly…read morewhen we walked in the bar area and restaurant are upfront was pretty empty. Turns out there was a Christmas party happening in the back, must have been quite the rager. We were referred here by some locals that seemed to know most of the wait staff so that seemed promising. The drinks were average the food was SUPERB. We were a fairly large group (maybe), there were 8 of us. The food presentation was that of a high end restaurant, and it was definitely not my typical menu so that was a nice change of pace. Don't expect a Chilis menu or some other basic chain menu. One downfall, one of the dinners came out about twenty minutes after everyone else's. The manager took care of it which was the decent thing to do, maybe it was mixed into the party room, idk. Overall a great experience.

The empanadas are also INCREDIBLE. Crispy, perfect beef/cheese ratio and filling. This truck DOES NOT DISSAPOINT EVER. Never has, and as far as I'm tracking.. never will. This is an absolute staple & Mastic Shirley should support them w/ open arms so they can open a brick & mortar in our town as we don't have anything compariable to this MASTERY of Mexican street cuisine.

Ambiance wise- this place is located write in front of a beer store (in their parking lot). Parking is pretty sparse so just something to keep in mind. I will say everything came out fresh. I ordered: -Chicken Taco on a corn tortilla: The chicken taco was actually very nice to eat- flavors were there and it was diced up into perfect portions. -Birria Tacos: Pretty juicy Birria- not the best ones I've had but certainly good ones. I will say the limes were dried out so they barely had any juice. -Churro: Pretty good churro- it has a filling inside of dulce de leche if I'm not mistaken. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick and decent fix for Mexican foods as well as a reason to support a local business!
