Dirty Taco in Smithtown is hands down one of the most fun and flavorful spots on Long Island. From the moment you walk in, the energy hits you. The place has this effortlessly cool vibe with vibrant colors, upbeat music, and a buzzing atmosphere that just puts you in a good mood. It feels like the kind of place where every visit turns into a mini celebration. The service here is fantastic. The staff is friendly, fast, and always on point. They greet you like regulars even if it's your first time and you can tell they actually enjoy working there. Our server was not only super attentive but also hilarious and full of great suggestions. Drinks came out quickly, plates were cleared right on time, and everyone had a genuine smile the whole night. Now, let's talk about the food because this is where Dirty Taco truly shines. The tacos are insane in the best possible way. Each one is packed with bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a perfect balance of spice, crunch, and sauce. The Korean short rib taco is a flavor explosion, the buffalo chicken taco is pure comfort food, and the ahi tuna taco is fresh, light, and packed with flavor. Honestly, it's impossible to pick a favorite because every single one slaps. And the portions are perfect. You can mix and match, try a few different ones, and somehow still have room for chips, queso, and their ridiculously good street corn. The drinks are another highlight. Their margaritas are top tier, especially the spicy ones, and the cocktail list has something for everyone. Each drink feels like it was made with care, not just thrown together. The overall experience is what keeps you coming back. The ambiance is lively without being overwhelming, the decor has this funky street-style charm, and the music makes you feel like you're on vacation even if you're just grabbing dinner on a random Tuesday. Whether you're out with friends, on a date, or just looking to unwind after work, Dirty Taco makes it feel like the weekend. Dirty Taco isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. It's the kind of place that reminds you how fun eating out can be. Great service, killer food, and an atmosphere that guarantees you'll leave happy and full. If you haven't checked out the Smithtown location yet, stop what you're doing and go. Just be ready to crave it again the next day. read more

We had about a 30 minute wait to get seated, which isn't surprising for a hoppin' Saturday nite. Leanna was our 'super waitress', friendly and she got our order right. Hardest part was deciding what to get-so many choices! I had the kung pao dumplings and a fried oyster taco that was excellent. My friend had a lobster taco that looked awesome. Drinks were good, maybe a little stronger than were used to, but we were happy! When we got the check, there was a discount for cash. So keep that in mind. We will be back, hopefully when Leanna is working, she made the meal extra special! read more

Alex was our server tonight. From the moment we sat down he was courteous, professional and friendly. He made suggestions to us without being pushy. He was always nearby when we needed him without being bothersome. Alex is an asset to you restaurant and we definitely will be back; and will ask for Alex! read more

Dirty taco in Smithtown has always been a favorite spot of ours! The food and drinks are always delicious and accurate. Most of all the service is top notch, I'm always greeted by friendly and familiar faces that know what we like (shoutout to Alex and Andrew!) I love that dirty taco always has something for everyone whether it's having a nice dinner with loved ones or watching the game at the bar! My favorite items to get are the mango marg, Jamaican jerk taco, dirty taco, bang bang shrimp and the totochos! The Sunday brunch is always a treat not only because it's super tasty but it's an amazing deal that's hard to pass up! read more

Cousins date night this week consisted of a HEFTY gossip session and amazing food at @dirtytacoandtequila. Let's talk food.... For apps we got the guac and quest.... Both amazing. && the chips were perfectly salted. SO GOOD. I also need to shout out the Mexican street corn. I will eat this no matter where I go. It is one of my favorite dishes. It was so good. The Tacos I tried were the birria, the caramelized brussel sprout and the carne asada. The barria is just such a classic I defiantly recommend. && If you're feeling a little adventurous please do try the brussel sprout. Pairs with a sweet Thai chili aioli and I cant even explain how good this made it. They have so many taco options to choose from. Nickolette & maddie both got the Birria, bang bang shrimp, and the dirty taco taco. Drinks we ordered: Traditional Margarita Coconut Margarita Pineapple Margarita The decor and overall ambiance of this restaurant was fantastic. The signs hanging on all the walls were hilarious. Our server Andrew was absolutely amazing and made sure we were well taken care of while also staying around for probably the most entertaining stories hes heard from a table in awhile . Im so excited to go back and update him. Check out my reel on instagram to see and hear more about my experience: @phone_munchies read more

Fantastic family run taco restaurant nestled in an unassuming house/restaurant? Either way, food was great here and the staff were so nice. The portions were generous, the ingredients were fresh. The only downside is the speed of the service since it is family run and the parking. The parking is not great. The food and vibe more than makes up for the downsides. read more

Busy spot! Lucked out with a request to sit outside and it was readily available after told the wait was 20 min. Strange because we were not offered to sit outside, but that was the place to be on a breezy night. Our server was super nice and patient as we all decided what we wanted to drink. Margaritas were flowing, priced appropriately for Long Island and not too strong, but very flavorful. The wings were fantastic as were the chips and guacamole. So many creative options for tacos with plenty of vegetarian choices. Two tacos plenty for one person. Served open faced so they are quite massive. No room for desert but thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here. read more

Food was fantastic The service was excellent And the ambience exactly what you would expect I highly recommend this place. I will definitely visit it again. The quesadilla was ridiculous. read more

Dirty Taco and Tequila - Tacos Near Me - Smithtown, New York

Food and service was great!! Loved the atmosphere and the music. Definitely will come back.

Okay, first off, we saw this place from the outside and didn't think we'd be able to get a seat, but we definitely did! The hostess was amazingly nice! Emma was our waitress and she's very VERY knowledgeable about the food and drink menus. She's very genuine and you can't find that in restaurants anymore. Her attentiveness is greatly appreciated, as well. She didn't steer us wrong with the appetizer. We were stuck between Asian nachos and wings. Since you can literally get wings ANYWHERE, we decided to get the Asian nachos, and we do not regret that decision. I'm all about multiple flavors, and I love it when they dance on your tongue, which is exactly what happened with this food. We also ordered the Brussel sprout taco! Jerk chicken taco! Birria taco! Southern fried taco! And Calamari taco! All were great, but I'd say the Calamari doesn't need to be a taco. The Calamari can be an appetizer on its own and do just fine. The southern fried taco was good, but I'd rather have less toppings so I can taste the chicken. The jerk chicken taco is amazing if you can handle the spice! Which we can definitely handle and love the real taste of marinated jerk! The birria was great. EVERYONE SHOULD ORDER THE BRUSSEL SPROUT TACOS BEFORE CONSIDERING ANY OTHER TACO. There were alot of birthdays last night, so I gotta say, the 50 cent "in da club" entrance song for the birthday people was PURE entertainment! The margaritas were top notch! I'm a spice lover so the spicy ginger margaritas were fantastic! The spicy blood orange was more fruity than spicy. Also, if you take any food as leftovers, these reheat nicely and taste wonderful the next day. read more

The birria tacos and street corn were amazing! 10/10 every time we come back. Many drink options too.

We went on a Sunday during brunch hours. Our waiter Justin was very friendly, and very helpful since it was the majority of us first time here. He was very attentive. There was a woman who was bussing tables and as I wiped my face with a napkin, put it down, she appeared and took the napkin. We finished our last bite or sip and she was taking our plates. The food and drinks were 10/10 and the entire vibe was just upbeat and fun! We will 100% be back read more

My experience here was excellent, I would highly recommend the waitress Leanna, she made our experience here very special, she even considered our son and dog and made all of us feel like royalty. He work ethic and professionalism speaks for itself, she is a great asset to the dirty taco family. read more

The restaurant was beautifully decorated. I went on a Saturday night and it was packed. We joined the waitlist an hour earlier. It was extremely busy. It took awhile to get our food. Someone in the party didn't get their food due to an issue in the kitchen. They were too busy to check in and realize. Once we finally told our server food was missing, he was able to rush it. There was a mistake with one of the food items and it couldn't be fixed because the kitchen was too busy. It would take another 30 minutes. The food was delicious. We were still charged for everything despite the issues with our order. The server was nice but very busy as well. I would recommend going maybe during the week. If it wasn't so busy I definitely think I would have had a better experience. read more

Great food,drinks and atmosphere Adding your name to the waitlist ahead of time is awesome read more

Honestly, I walked into this place thinking it was overhyped and walked out a believer. Inside is super spacious and brightly lit with Cali decorations but be warned, there is quite a wait for a seat. A table for 4 on a Sunday night came up to 40 mins. But once we were seated, I ordered a few tacos, a side of peanut noodles and a midnight blue cocktail topped with Casamigos. The tacos were overall tasty! I'd recommend going for the fusion tacos instead of the classics. The chicken tinga was a bit dry imo but the buffalo shrimp and ahi tuna were excellent. The peanut noodles were by far my favorite though. Savory and nutty; I could've had that as my entree and been happy. The midnight blue packs and punch and the tres leches cake and churros are a sweet end to an excellent meal. Overall would highly recommend if you are in the area and don't want to schlep all the way to Patchogue! read more

My husband and I have been to Dirty Taco quite a few times and it never disappoints! Alex is the absolute best server, he makes every single person feel like a VIP and the food is absolutely delicious.

Smithtown dirty taco was the best!!!! My girl Leanna was amazing!! She had all the great food and drinks on deck!! As long as she's in the house I'm there and allllllll of my people!!!! read more

I've been to the other Dirty Taco and Tequila locations, and then Smithtown opened up very recently. According to my friend who lives in the area it has been HOPPING. Fair warning when you come, though there is a public lot (same lot as Carraba's and DT is located where the green turtle once was) it is jam packed. We parked alllllll the way on the far end of the lot. Not a big deal really but take note anyone with mobility issues. The atmosphere was super cool and I loved the artwork and embellishments throughout the restaurant. Lots of graffiti and funny signage so A+ for that. Service was also wonderful. No complaints from me there. They were happy to make my drink sans tequila/virgin but still give me a fun watermelon bevvy. My hubby ordered the mojito with upgraded tequila. I thought my drink was too sweet, and his drink was very very strong. My bar for mojitos and margaritas is Besito because they are the best there is (in my opinion) and these fall short of that standard. The food had an Asian flair which is cool. Though the sign says they don't accommodate changes to the menu they will for health issues/allergies. I ordered the peanut tofu salad bowl. I can't eat quinoa so they made mine with plain rice which I appreciate. They do have a good amount of vegetarian/vegan options so yay for that. My other negative here is the noise level is through the roof. It is LOUD so it's hard to have a convo especially if you are with a larger group, which I think this place os good for because it fits that vibe. If it's just you and one person or two it's probably easier but in our group of 12 I could only hear the person directly next to me. We also happened to be on a grand opening celebration night and a few of us snagged t shirts which is fun. This is definitely a relaxed place and great for a celebration- if it's your birthday expect to hear 50 Cent "go shorty, it's you birthday". Even if it isn't your birthday it'll be that of a few people dining regardless lol so sing along, and have fun. read more

So happy this taco spot opened in Smithtown The Menu is amazing - Took Al's recommendation and the guacamole and chips which rocked. We went with mix & match tacos so we could taste a variety. Would definitely order them all again except there are so many more to taste. So far: Southern fried chicken Pulled BBQ Chicken, Pork Spiced Rib Bacon Cheeseburger and Korean Short Ribs all get 5 stars. Even though we were there for the lunch rush on the start of a holiday weekend - the food came out in a timely manner. Sit in Al's section if he's there - he'll make sure you're well taken care of! Can't say enough nice things about AL. We'll definitely be back soon. read more

Dirty Tacos = Smithtown, I love you. I no longer do I have to drive to Patchogue (thank God), to fight for parking just to enjoy a well crafted libation and some righteous tacos. Don't get me wrong, the Smithtown location is SLAMMED with so many limited parking spaces. But the rewards are great. There is plenty of outdoor seating and a large bar. Last Friday I wanted to take my wife to dinner. She likes to come home, get out of her work clothes and then go to dinner. We arrived at 6:30 and it was pure madness. Parking was very tight and the front must of had all of Long Island standing around waiting for a table. I go to the front desk, 90 minute wait we're told? Now I have a plan, for the following week, get to the restaurant early and my wife will have to dine in her work clothes. Once inside, they really did a nice job in both fun decorations and seating. Some of the pictures made me laugh, they're all referring to Dirty Taco. The chips and salsa? Fresh and very addictive. Drinks? So on point, my wife loves the Dirty White Sangria. I didn't have Tequila but my cool cucumber was very strong with lots of Tanquery Gin, cucumber slices and lemonade. Let's talk tacos! Beef, Pork, Chicken, Fish even Vegetarian Tacos are being served On Corn Tortillas. Last night I tried the Pork Spare Rib taco and the Southern Fried Chicken taco. These tacos are a crazy mash up and it's the reason why people are waiting 90 minutes for a table. Dirty Taco? Welcome to Smithtown. Tequila! read more

Dirty Taco and Tequila - Bang bang chicken taco, Shrimp taco and el pastor taco - Tacos Near Me - Smithtown, New York

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the soft opening of another fabulous location with my mom and my boyfriend. It was a limited menu, but still something for everyone! Leanna was our waitress and she was great. Now the eats... My boyfriend got the birria taco, bulgogi beef and bang bang shrimp taco. He enjoyed them all. I don't remember what tacos my mom got but I do know she enjoyed it! Nothing says good eats like clearing your entire plate! My mom also got a side of peanut noodles which she enjoyed and my boyfriend got Mexican street fries which we shared and were delish! For my tacos I had Vietnamese shrimp and caramelized Brussel sprout. SO GOOD! I dream of these tacos. I prefer my tacos to be on corn tortillas as opposed to flour. When I ordered my tacos this way, Leanna asked if it was due to allergy. While it was only a preference, I loved that she asked if it was an allergy. She was very mindful, which is amazing. For drinks we had coconut margaritas. I also had the special Dirty Taco house beer. It was light and refreshing. Definitely a summer vibe beer. Amazing experience as always! Special thanks to AnnMarie, Tom, and Junior. 5+ Stars! read more

We finally got to try this after already being such fans of the Patchogue location. It was a Thursday around 6 PM and the wait was 45 minutes, and it was worth every minute. As expected by our wonderful experiences at the Patchogue location, we were treated and greeted from the start with kindness and enthusiasm. You can always tell a great place when the employees are just as excited as you are to be there. The new location is so spacious it's probably about twice the size of the Patchogue location, and I love that they put the open glass doors along the front so the entire place just feels like an outdoor experience. The inside is quirky and artsy and fun just like the other locations. Not too loud other than when it's somebody's birthday that they celebrate with so much enthusiasm! Food was completely on point as were the drinks. At our table, we had: watermelon margarita, mango, margarita, pineapple, jalapeño, margarita, whiskey, sour, and the house beer. Everything was exceptional. It's so rare to find a bar-keep that pays attention to the little details. I love that they are served in these mason jars, and it is quite the generous pour! Apps were: the Adisn style nachos and Shishido peppers. I don't eat meat so I didn't try the tacos, but both of our meat eaters at the table were ooh'ing and ah'ing. The Shishido's were perfectly grilled and served with a Crema and some cojita cheese, nice and light and satisfying! For the mains: our vegetarian had the cauliflower, the Brussel sprout, the street corn, and vegan chorizo. She said numerous times how delightful it was to go to a place where there are actual options other than "can I have a bowl of pasta without the meat". She said everything was absolutely delicious and so satisfying! I had the Ahi, tuna, the crispy calamari, and the salmon teriyaki. I was only able to finish the Ahi and the crispy calamari, which were both exquisite. The ahi was cooked to perfection, and had the perfect balance of acid, salty, and just the tiniest hint of sweet and spice. Calamari was cooked perfectly with a light crispy coating that didn't overpower the fish. It had this lovely spicy sweet sauce, and a crunch of a bit of slaw. I only took a bite of the salmon and took the rest home but it was delicious also. Our meat eaters had the Korean barbecue, fried chicken, Aji, tuna, and pulled pork Carnita. Once again, they were very satisfied and couldn't say enough good things about how well it was prepared and the balance of flavors. Towards the end of our meal we were greeted by the owner/manager, Thomas. We told him what fans we were a Patchogue and how we were so excited to have a Dirty Taco closer to us that did not disappoint. He was so lovely and conversational. It wasn't like he was doing this "obligatory hello," it was like he was truly interested in our feedback. What a surprise when he gifted us two desserts at our table! The Tres leches cake was ridiculously good. So moist with this lovely balance of sweet cream that didn't overpower it. The churros were light and crispy and served with what tasted definitely like homemade whipped cream. Our server Junior was fantastic too. He made great recommendations, was genuinely interested in our experience and made the night even more special. I can't say enough good things about this place. It doesn't feel like a chain but they're growing, and I sincerely wish we could invest in it. Lol. Everything is done right here from management to decor to food to experience. We are fans for life! read more

Dirty Taco is very popular and it's always a long wait to get a table or even just hang at the bar. Once you're in, you're guaranteed to enjoy the food, drinks and hopefully you get to spend time with great people. The girls had guac and chips and I had to get my very own tuna poke tacos, they were scrumptious! The girls had tacos and I went with the birria quesadilla, it was deliciously cheesy, would definitely get again. For something sweet we shared the churros. Everything came out good, even the drinks! read more

this is the absolute best taco spot in long island. dirty taco is relatively new, but it's quickly become a staple. the tacos are super reasonably priced and come in generous portions. my favorite is the kung pow chicken taco--each taco features a unique flavor combo. they also offer a great range of seafood, meat, and vegetarian options. the nachos were incredible; we shared a plate and they were simply heavenly. there's a ton of seating inside, including spots by the bar, but even with all that space, it's usually pretty busy. plus, the place is decorated super cute. if you're in a big party, it's hard to snag a table, so definitely reserve ahead of time. it's super popular for a reason, and i'll definitely be back. highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

100/10 one of my favorite/go to spots. Great drinks and food, great service and management as well!

had a great time here, i visited for mother's day and it was a brief wait even though they were very busy at the time. Food was great! everyone was happy with what they got. Chips and Salsa portion could have been a bit bigger but I was more than happy with the naked taco portion so it evened out. Interior is very pretty so place is good for special occasions even though it may not seem like it from the outside. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been. read more

I highly recommend Dirty Taco. My family and I started coming here about a year ago and it has quickly become our favorite restaurant. Besides amazing food and drinks the service is amazing. If you go, you have to ask for John. He is the best waiter by far. My family asks for him every time we go in. Besides being a great waiter he is very personable and always takes the time out to speak to all of his tables. His unique style allows you to feel like he actually cares about his tables and he's not rushing you out the door. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and if you go, you have to ask for John for the best experience. read more

This place consistently amazes us, who would have thought you would get refined amazing delicious tacos and all of the food at a place called the dirty taco. Figured it would be fun and good but it is so much more then that. The food is so delicious and again who would think the lobster at dirty taco would be so amazing. Finally put it on the menu instead of just making it a special. Which is great because it is one of the best tacos I've ever had. There wings are amazing, mac an cheese and street corn are amazing too. We have tried all different tacos and each one is incredible in a different way. Freshest ingredients and great combinations. The service is also just the best around. They treat you like family and welcome you back when you come back again. We had Tim who was being trained by Justin and boy I understand why service is always so good. Tim was amazing and perfectly natural and a great server, obviously not as knowledgeable about the Dirty Taco since he was just starting. Justin stepped in to provide information seamlessly and without being overbearing but being very meticulous as they all are. We have had Andrew and Alex too and they are just incredible as well. They are all always around for anything you need and super friendly while also being incredibly good at what they do and so knowledgeable about everything that is The Dirty Taco. Besides the incredible food the over the top perfect service makes you want to keep coming back for amazing good times and incredible food. Which of course we do happily! read more
