    Hot sauce
    Steve S.

    I absolutely recommend this business. I have been to 4 of their 6 locations and enjoy them all. The food is delicious. From their appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Their mixed drinks are also great. The service has always been great. When ever I'm out on the island I try and stop by.

    this was my first time visiting this dirty taco location. the service was absolutely incredible. i was there with a large party, and we were a couple minutes late to our reservation, but everything was handled really professionally, and we didn't have to wait long. it was understandable given our lateness. we did have a tough time parking in the area, so just give yourself some extra time as a heads-up if you are planning to park. i felt like we were well taken care of, the staff did an incredible job of taking our orders in a timely manner, bringing out food, and checking in on us, always with a very positive mindset. dirty taco has such a wide variety of offerings, especially for anyone with dietary restrictions, including vegetarian and vegan options. the nachos were incredible, with a creamy queso and fresh guacamole on the perfect crunchy chips. i also enjoyed the cucumber salad, which had a welcoming sesame flavor and fresh, thinly sliced cucumber. i would highly recommend checking out this dirty taco location. it was honestly an exceptional experience, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

    Had a wonderful lunch today. Enjoyed my first Paloma, so delicious and refreshing. We ordered the Dirty Nachos. Hands down the best Nachos I have had in NY, lots of guacamole and freshly shredded cheese. Then tried the Cuban and Korean tacos, both fabulous. Can't wait to return

    Dirty Taco & Tequila is always a good time. I love the Asian-inspired twist on their tacos since it keeps things interesting, and you won't get the same flavors anywhere else in Patchogue. Some tacos can be a bit salty though.... Regardless, it's the kind of spot that just works whether you're out with friends, grabbing a casual dinner, or doing Taco Tuesday right. Easy recommendation if you want fun food and a fun atmosphere.

    Bold Flavors & Chill Vibes--A Sunday Night Win We had an awesome experience at Dirty Taco and Tequila in Patchogue. The atmosphere is effortlessly cool--stylish, energetic, and clearly a favorite among young adults. We went on a Sunday night and found it to be the perfect time: lively without being overwhelming, which we really appreciated since we tend to prefer places that aren't too loud or crowded. The food was the real star. The tacos were packed with flavor, and the poke burrito was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, bold, and unforgettable. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is. We wrapped up with dessert, and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and thoughtfully made--sweet without being over the top. We didn't drink, but the food and vibe alone made the visit totally worth it. If you're looking for a spot that nails flavor and atmosphere, Dirty Taco is a solid choice. Just consider going during off-peak hours if you're after a more relaxed experience.

    Chips & Guacamole - They were great, delicious, and the salt-to-chip-to-lime ratio was mint. Server Jill - Unbelievable. She put up with my questions and took kindly when I told her she'll be in my review. She's such a sweetheart and very kind. She was on top of it throughout our entire lunch stay. Highly recommend her upon request. She also warned my cousin about this really hot pepper so that he wouldn't, you know, burn his mouth off. Truly an asset to the restaurant and deserves a raise. She also followed up on my cousin's parking to make sure like that his car doesn't get towed or whatever -- so that was unreal. She said it's the season of giving -- truly a not Scrooge at all. Ambiance - Catchy music and not too loud so you can actually hear yourself talking. Love the decor. Chimichurri Taco - Really perfectly flavorful; big portion sizes today. Steak was so good and it was unreal and the chimi sauce was, on God, so fire too. Chicken Tinga Taco - Honestly, the chicken was a bit bland, kinda needed hot sauce with it lowkey. It was still fire though, I would recommend it if you like your chicken pulled. If you don't come to Dirty Taco, you made a big mistake here in Patchogue on Montauk Highway a.k.a. Main Street.

    One of my favorite restaurants on the main strip, service is always fast. Food is always great and waitstaff is always accommodating, this time when I went I had the sweetest waiter named CJ. I mostly order out but going in is always a treat. They have a Tex mex eggroll and that is SOOO GOOOD!!

    Nice place and ambiance.. loved the Dias de Los muertos murals on the walls.. delish food.. good service..

    Amy M.

    This has quickly become one of our favorite places. I never would have thought Asian Mexican fusion was my thing, but man, it is. Everything I've had is delicious. I love their tacos. I love the street corn. I love the sweet plantains. Chef's kiss to it all! And it's been good both as take-out and also in the restaurant. The servers are pleasant and friendly, the food comes in a reasonable amount of time, and the ambiance is fun and inviting. My only complaint is that I didn't try it sooner!

    Miso Cod and Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos
    Jay D.

    What a fantastic place! I just had an amazing meal here where everything clicked on all cylinders, from the food, drinks, vibe and of course the service. Our server, Jill, was awesome and attentive. We started off with delicious cocktails: coconut margarita, watermelon basil and then had the queso nachos and bang bang tacos, calamari tacos and miso cod tacos. Everything was delicious!!! Looking forward to returning soon.

    Birria Taco, Bang Bang Shrimp Taco, Brussels Sprouts
    Kaile T.

    Vibes: This place has such a fun, laid-back "life's a party" feel - exactly what we needed after a busy workday. The staff were super chill and fun to chat with! Our waiter, Jay, should have been on the cast of The Real World 2002 in the best way- we loved him! Had a blast. Drinks: The Watermelon Basil Margarita was super refreshing, not too sweet- one turned into two! Food: * Birria Taco: Always a winner, classic and done right! * Bang Bang Shrimp Taco: My fave - the sriracha has just the right kick! * Caramelized Brussels Sprouts: If you're a Brussels sprouts fan, these are a must-try. A nice twist, especially for a self-proclaimed Brussels sprout snob like me! This place is a gem- vibes are

    JOHN G. Was amazing, he was so accommodating with my friend and I's allergy. Very attentive and funny so charming he is the best server I've ever seen especially at dirty taco WE LOVE HIM he went above and beyond :-)

Not only that but we didn't get a waitress so she took the liberty to serve/wait on us. She deserves all the credit last night. NOW!!! - WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THE PRICE IF THE CAESAR SALAD AND THE COST TO ADD CHICKEN. This is where the negative stats come in. I don't care who you are but the nerve to charge that much money to add chicken to a Caesar salad salad which probably cost $1.50 to make is maddening. This is a dish that you probably make the highest return and profit on so to take one chicken small chicken breast which you're probably buying in bulk and getting for next to nothing and charge $10 for it to be cooked and cut up into a couple of pieces and thrown on top of the salad really was a turn off to me. Other than that we got a fair price on drinks and the chicken wings which were on Special. So I think we got 10 wings for 12 bucks or something. It was a good deal and they were good. Fix that salad situation. That's totally f&$ked

I had the dogfish head 60 minute IPA. Really good, very cold which is a huge plus. App was shrimp wonton tacos. Good, not great, small portion but not bad as part of a price fixe item. Crispy shell, fresh shrimp. Main was chipotle chicken wrap. Very good. Not dry with a nice blend of cheese, a little kick as well. Negatives: we asked for the wrap without pico , however it was not left off. It was quickly returned without any issues . When we received the check we were charged double. This was also quickly resolved. Overall, good place , decent food average beer selection. A good place to see a game and sample pub food. Not breaking any new ground here.

On top of that, my damn car decided to up and die, so I've been bleeding money on Ubers just to get to and from work. I even had to go into work on my day off just to sit around waiting for the tow truck so they could junk it. Love that for me. After I handled business with the junkers, I said eff it and headed to Whiskey Neat. I was starving--no breakfast, running on fumes--and since my job's in Patchogue, I figured I'd finally try them for lunch. First of all... happy hour on a Saturday from 12-6?! Uhhh hello?? In my Angelina from Jersey Shore voice. And if you pay cash, you get the discount. Say less. They've got a fabulous small plates menu. I started with the French onion soup--ooey gooey mozzarella, cheese pull was undefeated. Soup was delicious too. I haven't had French onion in ages and it really hit. Then I had the pulled pork slider, which was really good, but BABY... those short rib croquettes? To. Die. For. I also had to get my classic deviled eggs. A little heavy-handed on the paprika, but still solid. Drinks were half off, so of course I indulged. Started with an espresso martini because I needed something to jumpstart my day. Then I had a French martini because duh--I'm a French girl ‍. That one was good. Finished with my classic cosmo. Not gonna lie, I've had better, but it did what it needed to do and helped me forget my troubles for a couple hours. Also great playlist of music. I got there and they were playing Ska. Love me some Reel Big Fish and No Doubt. Mixed with some Motown and Bob Marley. Made me remember the good old days.

I've been to Main Street Patchogue a few times before and I'm always amazed at how it's now like Huntington, with tons of eateries, bars and places to hear live music. It was a busy late Spring Friday night and my cousin told me if we were there just two weeks later (ie, post Memorial Day), there would have been lines to get in anywhere. So make resos! I made one easily earlier that day and when we arrived around 7:30, it was not packed, but it is pretty loud in there even half full. Our waiter, Jonathan, expertly took such great care of us from start to finish, even taking my father's dad jokes in stride. There's a solid cocktail menu, but I had a couple glasses of a better-than-decent prosecco. My cousin loved his espresso martini. For food, count on a couple respectable vegan entrees and I went with the Japanese eggplant with cashew ricotta. The eggplant is delicious, slightly sweet with a creamy rather than chewy (thank god) texture. The cashew ricotta is also tasty, but I do think it needed to be blended a bit more to remove the slightly grainy texture (the cashews might have needed more soaking). My father loved his French onion soup and pastrami sandwich. Separate paragraph for the fries. They deserve it. I'm glad we ordered these to share- it's an enormous platter of them. I appreciated that they were salted perfectly. I appreciate restaurants that can make satisfy a variety of preferences and dietary restrictions. The vibe here is festive and vibrant and a great choice for groups and families.
