Heard so much about this place, but honestly it failed expectations. Went with my husband, they wanted to sit us in high-top table. Asked to sit at regular table so they sat us right in front of kitchen although it was early and there were other tables available. Very dark room. Staff was friendly but food was disappointing. Didn't even bother to take the leftovers home. read more

Second time, hesitant the first time, gave one more chance meet friends here. I just think there short handed. If so the owner should help, be there something. No one there or should I say there were as walking past dirty tables. Food not good. Sent back. Feel bad used to be a great place. Sign of the times no one cares. Not even the owners they should be there just saying. read more

I've been wanting to try this place out for a while! I also noticed swell taco is nearby! I'll try them next time! We sat at the bar and the bartender Luke was great,nice and attentive! We started with guac and salsa it was great! The drinks amazing and the tacos were okay. I've had better and worse before. Give this place a try and see for yourself! I look forward to coming back and trying out other items! read more

I have never ate at the restaurant but have ordered food from them during the pandemic. We had a little bit of a war on my family about which place in Babylon Village has the better burrito. I think Del Fuego does while others in house think another place a few stores down does. Anyway their burritos are amazing and they even come with a small salad when you order out. read more

This place is straight garbage! 4 tables completely empty and we had a 40 minute wait. The inside smells like Clorox and a dirty rag. Only 2 servers in the whole place and the bar back was cleaning off tables 2 cups at a time, then come back for the plates. It was dark and dinghy and the music sucked and the food was the worst I've ever had from a "Mexican place". Like how can you mess that up?! It took us over 2 hours for what should've been a quick 45 min stay. The tap beers were disgusting and I'm guessing they don't clean out the lines. Waitress wasn't rude but there was nothing she can do but keep her cool, but you can tell she didn't want to be there at all. I will never ever return here. ZERO STARS! Not even worthy of taking a picture here read more

The food was delicious. No notes. They did the burrito I ordered excellently. On top of that, everyone in the restaurant, from the manager to the bus boys, were incredibly nice. The chips and salsa, that are complimentary, were also quite good. I found myself considering ordering a portion to go, so I'd have them to snack on at home too. I would recommend calling ahead, especially if you're a larger group, as the place did seem to be very busy. read more

I'm not one to go out to eat often. I prefer home cooked meals but decided to give this place a swirl. This was the worst meal I have had. A huge disappointment. I ordered the grilled chicken fajitas while my friend ordered the grilled chicken burrito bowl. The chicken was for sure not grilled. It was super gamey. It left the worst after taste. The rice was for sure just straight out a bag. Save your money and save your calories. read more

I was feeling frisky so when the Babylon wind swept me into the glowing green cactus outside of Del Fuego I knew it was the universe's way of telling me that eating here was a must. Upon entering I picked up a mint from the front podium and popped it into my pie hole. I ordered a chimichanga from my waitress and she served it with a fierce strut and a smile- what a charming lady. I couldn't have inhaled it fast enough. A few sangrias later and here I am on my second mint, signing my check with a grin that was turning looks left and right. Thanks for keeping me suave, Fuego. I'll be back for more. Warmly, Pis read more

There was bones in my fish tacos and after every bite it made my stomach hurt immensely. The rice way dry, the beans were bland, everything was unseasoned. Our service was okay, not the most welcoming. I would not come back here to be honest. It might be the worse Tex mex I've ever had. read more

As a babylon resident I've been coming to del fuego for years .I came here last week with my friend around 7 o'clock for dinner and was waiting for over 20 minutes for a waiter that I had to go get myself. He said another waiter walked out or something like that which is fine and that he was alone. We ordered guacamole and we ordered fajitas steak and chicken. We didn't get the guacamole so we just ignore it because we were so hungry and when the food came it was cold and the steak was so salty. I'm not sure what happened with this place but I was never disappointed with the food or the staff. read more

I honestly really love Del Fuego! Their food and drinks are delicious! I did go once and the steak was under cooked and after sending it back twice it was still undercooked. But other than that instance it is always really good! read more

Ordered from Del Fuego tonight...WOW, is all I can say. First off, they are only allowing one customer in at a time, and the employee is wearing gloves and a mask. I ordered 3 steak tacos, 3 beef brisket tacos and the chicken bacon ranch quesadilla. It was for me and my friend and we were so full, and everything was amazing...still hot and my friend, who was born in El Salvador said that their rice and beans were amazing. Also, I got a quart of their house margarita, and holy cow was it strong. I haven't drank in 2 weeks and I'm feeling really good now. Plus it's 15% off. I know i work in a restaurant but this place deserves all the credit! read more

This restaurant is a chain and the experience is not the same for each . The one in Patchogue is the best . The severs check on you and actually smile . The place is cleaner too. The one in Babylon is the worst .... Very very smiles and rarely are you checked on. The other two are kinda okay . The one thing they all have in common is the cold tacos. The shell is always cold and feels Like it is about to be stale any second . They really should warm the shells up it would be a game changer read more

The food and cleanliness have been lacking lately. On my last visit to Del Fuego my utensils and glass were not cleaned well. I looked past that but when my food arrived the chicken was very hard, almost as if it was reheated and my dish was just slopped together. The food always comes out very fast which is nice but if it isn't fresh I would prefer to wait a little longer for a better meal. I've been coming here for years but lately it just hasn't been the same. The staff is very friendly, the wait times are usually minimal and the margaritas are tasty but I won't be coming back anytime soon as there are better taco spots in the area. read more

Del Fuego you're fantastic and I think you know it. Those shrimp tacos with corn and slaw mix is solid. The guacamole is so fresh and delicious. Two times that I have been here and the food is great as well as the service. I love that mild spicy sauce and chips that are complimentary. Keep bringing Babylon delicious tacos please and thank you. read more

My cousin wanted to come here bc she loved it here until today. Now we both wont be coming here anymore, after I told her my last experience and then today she saw it for herself. I got seated, just cups and water. No utensils were given. My cousin came we got drinks, the sodas were flat. Told the waitress and she said ok our soda is always bad (nice way to represent your workplace) We ordered guacamole (no tomatoes this time) it came out and we started munching. She realized how salty it was and she said it wasn't ever like this, its like puree. I'm like yup and I said it tastes more like sour cream then avocados. We call our waitress over bc (the owner/manager replied to last review and said you could ask for to be made again) so I said to the waitress could it be remade its very salty and to me the guac taste more like sour cream she said no bc they make in the morning a big batch its not made to order so it would be the same thing and that there is no sour cream in the guacamole... so that left a bad taste for both of us. Our order came out and my daughter's and the sweet potato French fries were burnt (we paid extra for them too) I asked for napkins from the waitress and she started to give me a nasty attitude and facial expression. I gave it a second try and its my last- the service was ok, the food was worse. The waitress- needs to learn to properly train and please customers, management needs to work on managing and get better staff. read more

The food here is fresh, tasty and overall excellent and they have a reasonable amount of vegan options, which is greatly appreciated. They even have a separate gluten-free menu so they're pretty aware of special dietary concerns. The burrito bowl and guacamole are on point! I also really love the fuego salad, especially the mango and jicama. Any time I've eaten here the staff has been kind, helpful and accommodating. My only major complaint is that when you order a side of guacamole for $12, you only get a small 12 ounce container of it, when you're ordering take-out. They say it's a pint but a pint is 16 ounces. Granted, the guacamole is fresh, delicious and pretty much perfect but even though the prices of avocados are up lately, a dollar per ounce of guacamole is a bit excessive. I feel like it should be between 24 ounces of guac and 16 ounces, at the least. I also wish there was some way to substitute veggies or something other than the gigantic bag of corn chips they give you along with the side of guacamole because a lot of health conscious people, myself included, don't eat nachos/chips. Aside from the somewhat minor complaint of simply wanting more of their amazing guac, it's really a perfect place for delicious Tex-Mex. The location is great, right in the heart of Babylon village, a super short walk to the train station, and the ambiance is nice as well, great for a casual date or dinner and drinks with fiends (they have a bar). Everyone I've ever been here with has loved the food and has had a very positive experience. Highly recommended!! I only took a star off because I want more guac. read more

Del Fuego - Veggie burrito bowl (without the cheese or cream) and Fuego salad. Both are excellent!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Babylon, New York

I love the tacos at this place but really..$23 for the taco trio. I couldn't believe the prices when I went a week ago. We also had issues with service - water not getting refilled, poor communication between server and kitchen. If I'm paying premium for tacos I expect premium service. Taking del fuego out of the rotation for the time being. read more

Ordered a buffalo chicken quesadilla from here. Barely any cheese and the very little cheese that was in it was not melted. The whole thing was drenched in buffalo to the point where it was just buffalo sauce in between a tortilla. The food here is subpar overall . I also ordered a steak quesadilla. It had Very little steak with a load of cheese. They might as well have charged me for a regular cheese quesadilla. If you want good food just take your money elsewhere. read more

Took Jen S. here the other night. Walked in on a lovely evening and were given a 15 minute wait. Babylon was buzzing, so it wasn't a long wait. We stood by the bar and had a drink. We were quickly seated at a table for two. We ordered drinks and nachos. Both came quickly. Dinner wasn't far behind. I had the chicken burrito while she had the shrimp. Everything was good. The service was great. I would recommend it for a bite if you're in the area. read more

Del Fuego - Tex-Mex Near Me - Babylon, New York

Just ordered Fuego Salad with Yellow Fin Tuna cost me about $20 I received 4 pieces of tuna and a salad that was mostly lettuce with a dressing that was a spicy/sour (Very tough to s. On top of all this I ended up having a reaction to it with my throat almost closing up. I've gone here before and the service was good, but today was for sure the worst experience and I will not be going back. Update: Just went back this past week ordered a chicken burrito and it was delicious. Service was amazing and everything looked amazing as well. A lot better then my previous visit. read more

Drinks and food are great. Nice place for a date or to go out in a group. Staff are always on point as well.

Really not happy with this restaurant. My boyfriend and I got here at 6:30 on a Wednesday and we were sat in a corner at a high top table no wait. We were actually on top of the people next to us and I felt so crammed in the corner. Our server came over and we ordered drinks and and appetizers. For drinks I ordered the red wine sangria and my boyfriend ordered a beer that was on tap. For appetizers we ordered the fried avocado and guacamole. Guacamole and avocado came out before our drinks. Thankfully there was water on the table. Both appetizers were good, also the chips and salsa was great! But we still had no drinks. It actually took forever for our drinks to come. Our drinks came over and there was no fruit in my sangria. Maybe its just me but I look for fruit in my sangria that is one of my favorite parts of sangria. It also wasn't anything special. We finally ordered entrees, I got the burrito bowl with mesquite chicken and my boyfriend got the carne asada. The burrito bowl wasn't that great. I could've got something better at a local fast food chain. My boyfriend said that his meal was ok. It came with cornbread underneath and it was all soggy. His steak was cooked as he asked though which is a plus. Overall, we would probably go somewhere else for mexican food. Not impressed. read more

Del Fuego - No fruit in sangria... disappointing - Tex-Mex Near Me - Babylon, New York

Great experience! The staff is so so kind and accommodating. This place really won the lottery on best staff, as far as I could see. They have a whole gluten free menu! And it's so easy to find vegan options at a taco place, so this gf vegan gal was very happy. I got the veggie burrito bowl no cheese/sour cream, and chips with salsa and I thoroughly enjoyed everything!! The salsa really stands out, it's a delicious chipotle flavor, a perfect balance of spiciness. And the rice, beans and veggies were all cooked so perfectly and were super flavorful with a generous portion. The bowl even came with a tiny side salad with the most delicious citrusy sweet vinaigrette. Great experience! I'll be back! read more

Had the pull pork tacos and it was tasty also you get chips and salsa free when you get to the table. The place was loud and music even louder. The staff was very friendly. Just a bit too loud for me. read more

Ordered fish tacos and it was not good. Food was brought within minutes which isn't good as it was cold and beans were blah! $15 for 3 stale tacos? Not worth it and won't come back. Do not recommend this place at all. read more

The food was dry and terrible. Our waitress was a sweetheart. My fiancé and I both hated the appetizer and our meals. We ordered the stuffed jalapeños and there was barely any meat stuffed and the meat that was stuffed was flavorless. The chicken in the fajitas was so dry! Will not return read more

This review is for the two most amazing people who work at the Babylon location. Gerard, the greatest bartender, and Brian (Bryan?), the greatest server. I have been going to this location for years, but have never seen such great service! Both of these gentlemen have gone above and beyond for their customers, including myself and my friend. The margaritas...wow, no one can make them as good as Gerard. I don't know what he does to make them like that but it's probably his good personality and amazing attitude that makes them taste so great. And if you're lucky enough to get seated with Brian, you're in for some of the best service you have ever gotten. He is always so happy and it really makes you think he must love working here. Both of these employees really just make the atmosphere friendly, happy, and welcoming and I can't wait to go back! Thanks, Gerard and Brian! read more

Came in for our uncountable time and chilled at the bar with Evan and Noah at the bar. They were awesome! Evans cocktails were on point. We had great conversations with him as well. Noah made great cocktails as well. They both made us laugh and made the experience so much better. I highly recommend stopping in here and try the food and drinks! read more

Del Fuego is an average restaurant- nothing special, but nothing to avoid either. Came here for a happy hour drink with coworkers, which turned into dinner. The happy hour special for margaritas were either $4 house margaritas or $2 off speciality margaritas. There was also a Yelp check-in promotion for a free tequila shot. However at the end of the night the waitress put these on our bill. When we pointed it out she did take it off though. The bar was crowded right after work (5:30) and got more crowded as the night went on, so when we decided to order food we got a hightop table by the bar. We split two orders of the chips and traditional guac, which was great. I had the pulled pork burrito bowl which came with a side salad. The pulled pork was good and salad had a unique dressing on it that was very tasty. Another waiter or busboy brought out our food very quickly, and our waitress stopped by to check in on us a few times while eating, but it took 40 minutes after we finished eating to get the check from our waitress. Of course it's nice to not be rushed out, but it was just too long. One of the girls I was with actually ended up just giving us cash for her estimated portion of the bill because she really had to leave and we couldn't flag down the waitress. I'll definitely return to this Babylon staple, but not if I'm in a rush read more

I had an absolutely amazing time at Del Fuego last night. The shrimp quesadillas were incredible and came out so fast (even with the place packed out). Gerard the bartender was super friendly and made my experience even more enjoyable. read more

First time leaving a review in my life. Customer service was a 10/10. That's the reason I gave it an extra star. Sadly the food was not good at all. I know it's not authentic mexican food but it was just not tasteful at all. Here's my ratings for the following items I ordered: Chips = 5/10 plain old chips nothing bad nothing good. Salsa = 7/10 was pretty tasty and helped out the chips. Queso = 2/10. it was sooo disappointing. u could only taste the butter and no cheese at all. it tasted like store bought alfredo sauce :( Yuca fries w/tartar sauce? = 4/10. yucas were super dry snd had no salt. (6/10).the sauce was just not a good compliment to the fries. (2/10) Empanadas Trio: Beef & Bacon = 4/10. Cheese = 7/10. Beef and cheese= 5/10. The sauce that came with it was just not good too. Cheese had a superrr nice pull tho imma give it that but it was a super simple mozz and nothing crazy in flavor. Taco Trio: 4/10 . beans and rice were flavorless and dryyyyyy Birria 3/10. What the ... The birria sauce was just plain old oil. it was disgusting. and the meat was juicy but had a weird flavor. Definitely NOT birria. Carne Asada: 5/10. It was a tender piece of beef but just had no flavor. Beef: 4/10. same as carne asada. no flavor but nice n tender but it also had a weird after taste. Pineapple Express: 6/10 it was an alright drink but def not worth $15. Ambiance was super dark and the floors were sticky. I couldn't read the menu that well and didn't want to take out my phone flashlight. Overall Experience 4/10. Wouldn't go there again for food but staff was super friendly and quick. They could prob do a better job at cooking ngl. read more

My boyfriend and I go at least twice a week and sit at the bar!! This restaurant is amazing!! Always fantastic food and perfect margaritas. The staff are the best part, everyone is super kind and friendly. We love the blonde bartender (I'm sorry I forget her name) but she is truly the best employee at Del Fuego. Thank you for making our date nights perfect!!!! read more

We were going to a Super Bowl party and wanted to bring something different so we ordered 1/2 trays of you build them Tacos for pu.

Came here after finding the wait at Swell Taco to be too long. I'm so happy I did. Thanks to Kaitie M.'s review, we ordered the nachos. My search for the best nachos, is over. The portion was absolutely huge, I think 4 people could easily share this. If you're not in the mood to spend 10 bucks on a cocktail, they have a shot of tequila and a Tecate for seven bucks... not bad! Tecate brought me right back to those college days. The tea cocktail is soooo good, worth the money. I ordered peach vodka and it came in a tall glass with fresh mint and lemon. Sooooo worth it! I highly suggest the beef brisket taco, it was insanely tender and flavorful. I could stuff myself until I pop with that beef. If you are feeling a little less indulgent, their salads sound amazing, but if you're adding a protein you're lookin at a $14 entrée. Treat yoself. We came here on Taco Tuesday, their deal is 11 bucks for any taco trio, EXCEPT shrimp and another one that I can't remember. But I don't think that's a great deal, you're only saving a few bucks. The food is so good that the only thing to really complain about was the service. It was busy and while our waitress was friendly and tried to be attentive, she just couldn't get to us frequently enough. read more

Ordered delivery and it was not great. We paid for an extra side of pico that was left off of the order. The $13 guacamole is about 2 avocados worth, with a hundred tortilla chips you'll never get to use; avocados are expensive but there are other restaurants with much better portions for what you pay. The mushroom quesadilla had mushrooms cooked with zero salt. My husband ordered the Fuego salad with tuna medium rare, but it was hammered, cooked completely through the center and grayish. The salad also barely had any dressing on it. This is the second time we've ordered from here, it was disappointing the first time too. read more
