We were welcomed and immediately seated, choosing inside seating and started off with a pitcher of their fruited Sangrias and complimentary salsa and chips. The food never disappoints. Tried the Papas con Queso, potato skins with sausage, cheese and guacamole, which were delicious and definitely not the usual skins one gets at other restaurants. The Churrasco Argentino was outstanding. The shell steak perfectly cooked medium rare at medium topped with chimichurri served over sliced tomatoes with a side of rice and string beans. The Carne Asada skirt steak was also perfectly cooked topped with roasted corn salsa, cheese and queso fresco served with tostones, guacamole, rice and beans. The combos were varied and very good although some of our party stated the taco shells and tortillas were a little soggy but still flavorful. Overall a great restaurant serving excellent and varied Mexican dishes at reasonable prices and generally well portioned.

The staff here make this place as amazing as it is. Many of them have worked here for many years, a few remember my family coming since I was a toddler! 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.

So now that Viva Mexico has this spot my honey and I decided to give it a go. To our surprise the food was very delicious! Seasoned well and nice portions. A little pricey but the Menu has great choices and service is friendly, efficient and quick. Beautifully decorated and very cozy. They are setting up outdoor seating as well. I think they will do well in this location. Check them out if you're ever in the Central Islip area and feel like some good Mexican cuisine.

Service - 3/5 - was on par. Ambiance - 3/5 - nice vibe with live music but missing sports? Overall - 3/5 - good spot for food and a sports vibe. The Bang Bang Shrimp and Dirty Taco were best things we ate. Service was fine, quick and no issues. Ambiance was nice with the live music but they were missing sports?
