My friend told me she was hungry and wanted something different. I was in the mood to step out of…read moremy comfort zone. So we decided to"Homemade Taqueria Hempstead." I'm glad she recommended it. There Is street parking in the front. There's not much to say about the exterior, but the interior said a lot. The place was organized and clean. I was so impressed with how much space it offered. The wood floors worked. The lighting fit the atmosphere. My friend, being the savvy person she is, order online. So by the time we got there, we sat down and they were serving us (isn't technology amazing). The lady serving us was so nice and polite. But my attention quickly turned to my plate. It was a combo of the best they had to offer. The plate, did not disappoint. I was surprised by the flavors and textures. It's not like the Spanish food you get a bars or stores. The portions were generous as well. I took a bit home. I was very pleased with my meal. Going back is definitely recommended. I'm just glad I agreed to try something different. It like I picked the place myself.

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

A fantastic Cuban themed restaurant. We've been to their NYC location dozens of times. Here not as…read moremuch, but that will change. The food is really good. 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.

Happen to see advertisement outside stating free dinner for Kids with the purchase of an adult…read moreentrée. 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 .

We had such a great experience at Tacombi in Long Island! Our server, Rene, made the entire visit…read moreexceptional. 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!

I have been to several Tacombi locations, and this one has a pretty interesting setup, mostly…read moreoutdoor but covered Very casual and relaxed atmosphere, service was pretty chill. We had the carnitas tacos, beef birria tacos, Baja crispy fish tacos, corn esquite, and a carnitas quesadilla. Tacos was good, lots of flavor and nice fresh toppings, and the quesadilla was cheesy and nice spiced Drinks was too sweet for me though and kinda weak on the alcohol.
