    Evidence of purchase.

    Ok, it's New England, it's tacos two thousand miles from the border. No beer, or margaritas. Chips and salsa - 2.5 stars, not spicy, chips are thin, warm very crispy. Needed HOT salsa! Tacos (3) combo with black beans and Santa Fe rice - good, filling, only $7.75 ---- great price 3.5 stars. They need more drink choices and a hot salsa option. Would like to try a burrito and maybe a quesadilla ....... will update next time - overall 3 stars - a half star removed for charging for chips and salsa. Mexican food eaten in a Mexican restaurant SHOULD ALWAYS include FREE chips and salsa. Step up your game and you will be rewarded!!!

    Not even enough chicken to make the 3 fajitas.

    Disappointed the last couple of times that we picked up food from Route 12 Taco. The portion sizes seem to be getting smaller, I ordered chicken fajitas and there were way more veggies than chicken. The staff is friendly enough.

    Stopped in twice since they moved to the new location. Both times I ended up leaving due to very slow and poor service. Won't be back.

    The wait is a little on the long side but it's well worth it for good fresh food at a reasonable price.

    So I stopped by with my family tonight for a quick bite out. I've had Taco Island once before but…read moreto take home, I don't recall what I got the first time around but I do remember being impressed. Growing up in New Mexico and Texas, I find it hard to find a spot on LI that helps satisfy the craving for good Mexican/TexMex. Tonight, we got a pretty good platter of food. My wife and I got a total of 8 tacos, 4 Birria tacos (2 of each), and 4 street tacos. (2 carne asada, 2 carnitas). My kids each got a quesadilla, regular and chicken bacon ranch. I tried the chicken bacon ranch and that thing was pretty serious lol. My kids could have definitely just shared one. With all of that being said, the carne asada street tacos were definitely my favorite of everything, followed by the carnitas then finally the birria tacos. The salsa verde they served in the cup was as authentic as they come, and I put that sh** on every single bite. Something about the salsa verde in the bottle just wasn't hitting the same. As my family was wrapping everything up, this nice young lady approached us and offered complimentary churros for the kids! Super nice of them. This experience was definitely a 9/10 for me. I would probably just skip the birria tacos next time, personally.

    I rarely give a five star review but the service today was outstanding. First time trying this…read moreplace so I tried the shrimp and carne asada Mexican street tacos and both were delicious overflowing with shrimp and steak. The steak was tender too. Hubby had the avocado and fish taco and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We also shared a taco de birria barbecoa and the pulled beef was so tender melt in your mouth. The tamarind drink was very refreshing and would order it again. The churros came toasty and warm. There are only a few tables inside but there are also cute colorful tables outside as well. Will definitely be back.

My last review was disappointed in tge lack of fillings in specialty tacos and watery crema. Not our experience this time. Empanadas are huge and generously stuffed. And the mexicsn street corn crema was much better this time. Others in my group had tacos and they were better portioned for sure. I'm a local. Will always come here. But i'd love to have a reason to come more often (beautiful new expanded bar BEGS for happy hour) If you sit at the window table area, its a beautiful view of the pond across the way. I'm so used to it, i lost my appreciation..but was reminded by someone from out of town dining there first time who was so taken with the view.

I decided to order their traditional tacos with chicken and steak. The meat was tender and flavorful. It was seasoned to perfection. I decided to sit down and was served with chips and salsa. The salsa was good but the chips were stale. I did go there an hour before closing so I'm not letting that affect my rating. The service was okay and the place is clean. There were plenty of seating inside for us as we were the only customers in there.
