    We have been there for my lunch break a couple of times . I typically get the shrimp tacos and my husband likes the pulled pork burrito. The food is really good and affordable. The service is great there always so nice and the ambience is very cute and true to the culture of the food . We always get a small dessert to share and it's great . There's a huge parking lot seeing as it's in the center of a shopping center .

    How much food my bowl came with.

    If you go at anytime when its busy its not worth it. The workers stand in the back looking at you like a deer in headlights, even when theres a big line. I ordered my bowl and it took 30 minutes. The bowl was half full and barley put chicken in it.

    Been coming here regularly in summer for several years now. This place is a 10 out of 10. The food and drinks (rum punch!) are awesome and the service is friendly.

    Delicious!!

    This place was surprisingly delicious! My husband and I had a quick lunch here. We ordered the chips and salsa, which by the way the salsa was truly packed with flavor outstanding! Hibiscus tea was very refreshing. I sadly was not able to take a picture of the Carne Asada burrito that I had and my husband had the smoked brisket burrito. Both were really good and tasty. There was a slight hint of heat that was just perfect! Ambience was nice with music in the background, colorful decor and overall we had a great time!

    Chicken & beef quesadilla - huge portions ; mediocre taste.

    Ask for the $5 burrito deal after 10pm. Something about having a shrimp burrito for second dinner makes stress melt away.

    My wife and I have been fans of Dirty Taco for a long time. We've visited the original Wantagh…read morelocation many times and the Woodbury location even more frequently, but today was our first time at the Port Washington location on the marina, and it exceeded our expectations. Of all the Dirty Taco locations we've visited, this one has the best ambiance by far. Sitting right on the marina on a perfect late-spring afternoon, with a beautiful breeze coming off the bay and the lively energy of people enjoying their meals, made for such a fun and memorable experience.The food was amazing, as always. I had the "Famous" Korean Short Rib taco and the Classic Baja, while my wife loved the Korean Short Rib with peanut sauce and the shrimp taco. We also really enjoyed the peach margarita and the traditional margarita. What really made the visit special was the service. The owner, Tom, came over to our table to check in on us. When we told him we had been to his other locations before but this was our first time at Port Washington, he very graciously bought us a round of drinks, which was completely unexpected and very appreciated. My wife also mentioned that she had waited months last summer to finally buy an "I'm a Dirty Girl" T-shirt, but could never find a sweatshirt in her size at the other locations. Tom actually checked in the back, and although he didn't have her size there, he took her number and said he would call the next day to see if they had one at his warehouse in Seaford. That is truly above and beyond the typical service you expect from a restaurant. We learned that Tom and his family now have eight wonderful locations and are continuing to expand. With the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the level of service they provide, it's easy to see why. Fantastic place to visit, amazing food, and even better service. Can't say enough wonderful things about Dirty Taco Port Washington!

I even asked Andie, whom I consider as my Yelp Goddess for down-to-earth great food and I loyally follow. This place came up in my comfortable radar. Moreover, Evan C . Whom I feel always has honestest reviews, also wrote a review on it. I decided to give a "vaccine" for my growing craving here today. I am so happy on my instinct decision. I walked in the shop and there were about 5 ppl scattered inside already. My eyes were lit up seeing hot food bar right in front. There were no menu so I walked up to the cashier asking how I could order. The owner lady was very patient and nice explained to me even when she was busy. I felt embarrassed because I knew nothing about Mexican/Latin good nor spoke Spanish. I ordered two chicken tamales simple and easy because I did not want to take too much time of hers. I could not believe the tamale only $1.75/each! The owner lady even unwrapped them for my convenience. Thank you! Honestly, the chicken tamales were alright, somewhat savory and fresh! But too little chicken meat! Also the meat was too lean! Some fat and veggies or other ingredients would be much tastier, like those I had in Southern California!

After we got seated we waited almost an hour for our food to come one of the appetizer that we ordered was not even served Since we were hungry at this point we just proceeded to eat the main course at this point this is when my husband found a hair on the rice we called the waitress and she didn't apologize but just took the plate and replaced it with an empty plate so we called one of the male waiter and explained that there was a hair on the rice he asked if we wanted another rice of course we said we want the rice replaced but he didn't even offer to replace the lamb that was on the rice with the hair all of us we're examining every dish if there was a hair on it It was a terrible feeling to eat like this. We all ate very little and lost our appetite but the worst is nothing was offered in place of the lamb that was taken away a reputable restaurant will be apologetic and offer some discount or kind of at least replaced the lamb dish . We would never return here again they don't care about their customers. Then we found out they were featured in kitchen nightmare by Gordon Ramsay in Hulu season 2024 . I'm doing this reviews for other customers that didn't know this about this restaurant beware please.
