I called the restaurant and the only option was to credit me for what was missing. I appreciated the credit but would have more so appreciated them sending me the missing item. Second, the empanadas we tried were very oily and salty. The meat flavor was good but i couldn't eat these again given how unhealthy they were. A baked option would be better. FInally, the tacos. The restaurant is named for tacos after all. The carne asada tacos were pretty good. 4 out of 5 stars. Fresh ingredients, good quality meat. But the taco shell of the gringo disintegrated before a bite was taken. They do have a lot of taco options so that's a plus if you plan to visit. Given the above I will stick to other local options when a taco craving hits.

I tried the 3-taco combo with the mango lemonade and queso, and for $12 on Uber Eats (deal running through June 30), it's hard to beat. You can mix it up with fries, sweet corn, or queso plus a drink, which makes it feel like a steal given the portions and quality. The tacos themselves are solid, but the queso really steals the show--easily my favorite part of the meal. Everything is fresh, filling, and perfect for a quick post-work bite. Drink options are great too; while the mango lemonade was refreshing, the strawberry lemonade is definitely my top pick so far. Affordable, tasty, and convenient--Tony's is doing it right.

If you read my review of the Franklin Square store you'll see that I was blown away by the quality, freshness & flavors. Sadly that was not the case on this visit. Ordered ahead through the app, showed up about 2 minutes after the time they said it would be ready and was told they were just bagging it up - no big deal. This took about 5 more minutes but allowed me a window into what was going on as I waited. The young man behind the counter while seemingly attentive also didn't appear to care very much. I ordered a large watermelon juice and saw one sitting on the counter but wondered if it was mine as it appeared to be a small. The young man behind the counter must have realized this and grabbed it alongside a large cup. Unfortunately, his way of "correcting" this was to just dump more ice in the cup, not any juice on top of what was in the small. Now I'm already feeling a little cheated. Everything was bagged up & stapled shut before being handed over. Trusting that it was how it should be I carried the bag out and went on my way. Unfortunately I was foolish to do so - no straw, utensils or napkins to be found. Having to scrounge for a straw as well as a spoon for the street corn when I got back to work was incredibly frustrating. On to the food - here's the rundown: Street Corn - taste was there just like the last time but temperature wise it was way off. Why one store sends it out piping hot and another lukewarm is beyond me Funghi Quesadilla - I was such a fan of this from the FS store, perfectly cooked and still piping hot. Here at FP it came not so hot and the veggies inside nowhere near the level of caramelization I got the first time around. Felt phoned in Milanese Taco - good but not great. Balsamic was a nice touch, probably the best thing I got this time around. Shrimp Mango Taco - rice was ok but felt out of place. Shrimp were tasty but the mango was incredibly bland, probably underripe. Disappointing to say the least Cauliflower Explosion Taco - veggies underdone just like the quesadilla. Lots of potential if properly executed but this one fell flat Maybe they had an off day, I don't know. Either way it's pretty sad that I suddenly shifted from a top notch experience to mediocre and no need to come back. Maybe I'd try again but at this location I'd be incredibly hesitant. Worth the extra few miles drive to go back to FS honestly.

A cozy, smaller spot where you can see right into the kitchen where the food is being prepared, El Nopal of Floral Park does not skimp on flavor or portion size. Our waiter, God forgive me because I cannot remember his name, was a delightful, kind man who spoke very highly of his place of work when I complimented the food. I came here with a friend: he ordered 3 different tacos and absolutely cleared all of them, while I ordered the carne asada con camarones which came with pico de gallo, rice, and beans. I added a whole grilled/roasted jalapeño and I'm incredibly happy that I did. While pico de gallo might go unnoticed or sound run-of-the-mill, this batch was far from it - the vegetables were bright, fragrant, and fresh, wonderfully complimenting the rest of the food. Two heaping portions of whole well-seasoned, well-cooked carne asada topped with 3 delicious shrimps was the main attraction, with yellow rice placed on the same plate, hot and ready to be eaten. Refried beans were served in a separate ramekin and were also very flavorful. Additionally served with the entree is a cheese tortilla. While this volume of food may seem overwhelming to some, the dish was undoubtedly cohesive and I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed every bite of it. At $21.80 + $1 for the jalapeño, this was an absolute deal. Can't wait to visit again!

I've been getting huaraches - thicker fried base with avoc, refried beans and fresh veg. toppings, crema, grated cheese, and grilled beef for me. Some in my family get either nachos with meat (lengua at same price) or California nachos (over fries, instead of tortillas) as their meal. We usually have leftovers to take home bec. of the large portions. For the protein, can choose one, or mixed meat at a slightly higher price. They're very generous with toppings. Tacos come in 3/order; can be mixed meat as well except for some options, like lengua which was charged per taco. Tasted the cheesy pupusas before. No tamales. Tamarind drink is on the sweeter side. I prefer the horchata here. Service was attentive. The young man during our last visit was very pleasant. They accommodate requests to put toppings on the side. Located on Jericho Turnpike - we usually get one of the few meter parking spots in front. Bright and colorful decor. Restroom available.

While the outside says "Angelitos hotdogs", this is actually a Mexican food truck. The blackboard showing what specials are available showed "hoy tacos al pastor" So I took the recommendation and ordered two, along with a Carnitas taco as well. The Al Pastor was delicious and spicy with small slices of pineapple to give it a very balanced flavor. The Carnitas was salty and delicious and paired with just enough lime and cilantro to give it a full flavor. The burrito was absolutely monstrous. The lovely woman in the truck told me that the rice was still cooking so I would have to wait for my burrito, however, I told her I didn't want rice so she filled up the remaining space in the burrito with more meat and beans. This thing had to weigh at least a pound and a half. It was absolutely delicious. The meat was soft and tender and the beans were cooked perfectly, and there was just the right amount of cheese as not to overpower any of the other ingredients but yield a soft creamy texture. Do yourself a favor and make it a point to come to this taco truck. It is well worth it!

First time going there and even after my 3/5 star rating (I wish I could give it 3.5), I'm going to…read moregive it another shot. We went on an Thursday and about a third of the tables were taken. The staff are very friendly but a bit scattered. It's not enough to be completely bothered by it, just to make note. They seemed to be unfocused. We even ordered Jarritos and had to remind them during our meal. Appetizers: We ordered guacamole since they make it to order and it was soooo good. Probably the best part of the meal. The chips and salsa that they give for the table were pretty good too. LOVE the smokiness of the salsa. My date ordered three separate tacos: fish, al pastor and I think chorizo. He said they were okay, nothing that really stood out to him but he did finish it. They're filling though so three was a good amount for him and he can eat up to 5 sometimes if the tacos are really good. I ordered Mole. Mole is a very difficult dish to get down. I've had really really good mole that's been stewed for hours, close to half a day. I even have the thick paste concentrate that friends have given me from Mexico as gifts cause I love Mole so much. Usually, the sauce is close to a gravy consistency, it's smokey from the chiles, not a strong heat, a hint of sweet from the chocolate, savory etc. The chicken should also be to a point where it's fork tender, you do not need much to take the meat off the bone. Tepache's mole was alright. The sauce was a little thinned out, leaned salty and made it hard for the other flavors to come through. The dish was also supposed to come with tortillas and I didn't realize till I put it in a to-go box that I wasn't given them. Twenty-five dollars for mole is a steal because it is a difficult and time consuming thing to make, but only if it's REALLY GOOD. And this one was just okay. Overall though I still want to come back and try out other menu items. I wouldn't suggest the Mole, but I am curious about other things.
