Been here a couple of times, and the place deserves a review. It's a small but clean and bright…read morefamily-run place where the service is prompt and solicitous. The food runs from the merely good to the slap-yo-madre. The tacos al pastor are merely good, but the guacamole is excellent, as are the chorizo tacos and the tacos dorados, and then the mole poblano--WHAP, "Hijo, porque me pegas así?" It's homemade liquid brown magic with just a tiny hint of clove that sets it apart from every other mole I've ever had, and I'm talking about dozens. Served with hot corn tortillas, pure paraíso. Nice licuados, too.

I told her I found a taco place that looks pretty awesome out east. Lets do some shopping at Tanger and then I'll let you buy me a few tacos. Deal? Happy Mothers Day! Taqueria Mexico is very close to the Riverhead Aquarium. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican Taco restaurant, look no further. It's located in a strip-shopping mall, my GPS found it with no problems. Walking inside the restaurant, its not very fancy. The whiteboard is a little hard to decipher and the friendly woman behind the counter will provide a menu which is more english friendly. The menu is extensive, we're here for lunch so platters might be overkill. I want 3 tacos along with some Guac and chips. My wife orders three tacos as well. She asked if there are fish or shrimp tacos, the woman shakes her head no. I know what I want: Chorizo Taco Al Pastor Taco Beef Tongue Taco The chips come out and they're a little onion heavy. I am in the zone, wife? Not having it, she pushes the onions to the side and doesn't eat the Guac.. The tacos are brought to the table by the cutest little woman. I asked which plate has the chicken? She said something in Spanish and put them in front of us. I didn't have my glasses but I see the Chorizo Taco so I take that plate. My wife is in the zone, I am loving the Chorizo Taco! Packed with great tasting Chorizo, I'm a total fan at this point. My wife got the Tongue Taco by mistake so I'm told to knock off a star. All in all, a nice place to grab an authentic taco or Mexican dish. PS - Cold Jarritos are in the ice box, my favorite is grapefruit

The restaurant is more of a walk-up spot, which you can choose to eat there or take out. There's no wait staff. For lunch, we started with the guacamole, which was nice and fresh and had a nice kick. We then split a steak chimichanga and chicken taco bowl. Both were delicious, and honestly, the chimichanga was one of the best I've ever had. As a heads up, this place is CASH ONLY, so make sure you're prepared. Enjoy!

Each time we were in Riverhead to get ice cream this summer we wanted to try this spot for dinner and we finally had a chance. Most of our group ordered taco platters, house chips, and the taco salad to share. Overall, the portions are large and filling. Tasted good, but nothing that wow'ed us. Along with a few Modelo's it was a decent meal. A bit pricey for what it is but nothing is cheap anymore. Worth a shot if close by but not really a destination spot to travel to for a meal.

We came in for an early afternoon bite, between lunch and dinnertime and as expected, it wasn't crowded and lively music was playing. There were around 3 tables occupied, and a good amount of people at the bar. We had never been here before, and we couldn't decide what we wanted, but we were hungry so we chose something substantial from the menu. Ended up having the Mixed Tray with some Modelo. Holy crap, it was huge. It had grilled steak (the menu said roast beef, but it was what I expected), chicken, chicharron, shrimp, chorizo, and fried yucca. Everything was delicious and we ate as much as we could, but had to bring home more than half of it. We would definitely go back.

How are "employees" much less the rest of us supposed to wash anything off of your hands ....think about it. I told the bartender I would pay cash for my drink(s) due to paying for my food with a corporate card. First margarita...$17, no bill. Second drink vodka soda....$17, no bill. I asked her about the charge, she said "oh that was a double" I didn't order a double, and as an ex bartender, that wasn't a double. So, as someone that remembers all the tricks, she's not only ripping me off, she's ripping off the business, because she isn't ringing up doubles on the register. Oh, and for my work, I carry a pocket knife. They have a security guard there. It's 6pm....what kind of establishment am I in? He politely came over and said that he had to keep the knife until I decided to leave. LOL ..no sir. I'm out and never coming back. Customer beware.
