The location might seem small, but it's jammed packed with traditional flavors that are being executed to perfection. Can't believe I waited this long living in the neighborhood (2+yrs) to finally stroll in and experience what some might say is 'Pura Vida' or !Magnífico¡ Upon first visit, I had to try one of their margaritas and at least one 'Street food' menu item, so opted for their Pear Margarita and Birria Empanadas. Let's say Bravo, Brava and Encore to explore more of their menu. The cocktail was totally on point without being overpowering in any way, very balanced and brightly refreshing. The empanadas were deliciously crispy without being greasy, stuffed and sealed perfectly. Then opted to try their Mashed Potatoes Fries and requested a side of their advertised Shishito slaw seen topping another menu item. I loved the way they created and presented both. The fries were a perfect balance of soft but crisped with the creme drizzle and pickled onions. :* The Shishito slaw was a summery, crunch lightly dressed which has me wanting and requesting more the next visit. They should definitely add that as one of their regular listed sides. My husband had a burger with regular slaw and an old fashioned styled cocktail which he mentioned to be exceptional as well. Can't wait to dive deeper into their menu and would highly recommend to others.

Had an amazing experience today (2/25/26) for a private event! From the moment we walked in, they…read morewelcomed us with open arms and incredible hospitality. Women-owned and operated, and you can truly feel the heart behind everything they do. We started with the roasted beet salad -- light, fresh, and the perfect opening for what was to come. Then the feast began....elote, cajun lime BBQ wings, mussels, tuna tostadas, chicken taquito, carne asada taco, and pernil with rice & beans... and WOW. Every single dish had its own unique flavor that kept me wanting more. * The elote was seasoned perfectly * Wings were crispy and literally finger-lickin' good * Mussels came in a rich, delicious Cajun cream sauce * Tuna tostada had a delicious soy-sesame glaze * Chicken taquito = crisp perfection * Carne asada taco cooked perfectly * Pernil with rice and beans was a perfect marriage of flavors To finish it all off was churro bites which was the sweetest ending. I also had a classic margarita which was fantastic. Service was just as impressive as the food...waters were never empty and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They even provided us wet-naps after both the elote and wings. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for taking such great care of our private party!

My second time at Swell Taco (I absolutely live for the good foodie finds in Babylon Village) was,…read morefor lack of a better word, *swell.* (I just had to do it, hehe.) We sat in their insulated outdoor area amidst string lights and beachy vibes, and every meal starts out with their addicting tortilla chips and salsa verde. (Pro-tip -- save some of this green salsa to have with whatever you order!) We tried their chicken flautas appetizer, and if you are a fan of all that is cheesy and crispy, you will definitely enjoy this one. My favorite item on the menu was next -- the Crunch and Munch ground beef taco -- this literally was an elevated version of Taco Bell's cheesy Gordita crunch, and it made me super happy. We also shared their shredded beef burrito (think barbacoa), which was a Saturday special, but honestly, any of their burritos would be worthwhile. (I dare say that the burritos also feel kind of light? They are not over-the-top in the best way possible!) If you're looking for a casual taco spot after a day at Robert Moses or Overlook Beach (or any day, really), definitely check this place out -- you will fall in love after the first flavorful bite.

I put it in my fridge and it didn't even turn brown after 2 days which I found odd for guacamole/avocados. The bean and cheese pupusa was okay as well. Nothing too amazing.

You can definitely feel the family owned vibes from everyone in the place. Guest after guest came in and left with platters of food mostly they are famous empanadas and roasted chicken. There are about four small tables if you wanted to eat your food inside, but mainly while we were there folks left with platters of food. That's when you can tell a place is good when customers use a restaurants food for events and home-cooked dinners! I will definitely be back go here!!

When you walk in you're immediately greeted by a smell of delicious food and a beautiful and quirky interior. They have many drinks and snacks based on the Filipino and El Salvadorian roots of the restaurant! We've had many items off the menu but our favorites are the tocilog, longaniza, garlic rice, and tamal de elote. Portions are large and always fresh. Everyone who works here is also very nice and accommodating. They always substitute garlic rice when requested which I appreciate.

Everything had that fresh, made to order feel that immediately sets the tone for a great meal. The place was booming and the staff was so welcoming! The fish taco really stole the show. The batter on the fish was light, crisp, and perfectly golden. None of that heavy, greasy coating you sometimes get. It had a really clean crunch that let the fish itself shine, and every bite tasted fresh and beyond flavorful with the cabbage and crema on top. The carne asada mulitas were just as impressive. Rich, savory, and layered with flavor, with that perfect combo of melted cheese and grilled meat tucked into the house made tortillas. And the drinks tied everything together. The margaritas were super fresh and well-balanced, especially the spicy piña. No pre-made sour mix or after taste! You could tell everything was made with real ingredients bright, refreshing, and just the right kick of heat to keep it interesting. Overall, it was the perfect Cinco de Mayo stop! Great energy, fresh food, and standout flavors across the board. I will definitely be a regular here!
