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.

This review is for a recent takeout order…read more We ordered tacos (ground beef), a chimichanga (chicken), an empanada (beef), and guacamole with chips. The food there is a bit pricey but we wanted to give them a shot. Upon getting the order home I discovered that the chips (from the guacamole with chips) were missing! It' wasn't worth another round-trip drive to get the missing chips, but it shows sloppy work. Otherwise the food was OK, though not a great value. They would have gotten three stars from me if I hadn't been short-changed by the missing chips. Since I can't trust this restaurant to get an order correct, I won't be going back.

The food was fantastic, especially my delicious Carne Asada. Cooked perfectly and super flavorful. I also loved my Bahama Mama drink, which was special for Mother's Day. It was so good, I had to get a second round! This is a great spot I will definitely be visiting for many years to come.

We ordered the Green Cactus Combo, Birria Tacos, Burrito Fajita, and a Passionfruit Jarritos. The Birria Tacos and Burrito Fajitas both came with a side of chips. The Green Cactus Combo was good, and the portion was big. It also came with a tortilla. The steak was juicy and well-seasoned. The Burrito Fajita was flavorful and big. Our favorite item was the Birria Tacos. They were juicy and flavorful, and the cheese was a great addition. However, we do wish they served a bigger portion of the consomé. The price for our meal was pretty good. Overall, we would come back here for their Birria Tacos and to try their Horchata.

They give a whole brown paper bag of chips when you get a chicken quesadilla to go, but when you…read moreeat it in the restaurant, they literally give you 8 chips on top of the quesadilla on the plate. When I politely asked the lady there for a few more, she says "that's extra". I asked why you get more when it's takeout and a whole bag as opposed to just a few on the plate when you eat in the restaurant and she says, "that's not true." It surely is true. Every single to go quesadilla I've gotten there for the last 20 years has come with a full bag of chips that I can't even finish by myself.. but when you eat in the restaurant and order the same exact thing you're given 8 chips... I have a question for management - what is more expensive- a few extra corn chips or losing a customer for life? You can thank your grumpy, frumpy, bean burrito shaped lady who's been there for 20 years and never once smiled or acted anyway other than forcing a monotone response to the customers. I mean, I get that she's 50 years old and angry that she's been working at Green Cactus for over half her life but come on.
