    I have been to all of the other dirty taco locations and finally got around to trying Smithtown. They have many different rooms with seating and a large bar with great decor all over. I ordered guacamole for an appetizer which arrived quickly and the whole table was able to enjoy some. They also have queso and salsa for other appetizer options. For my entree, I went with the steak quesadilla which wasn't soggy and had a generous amount of cheese. I enjoyed both and will definitely be ordering it again. Note - they don't take reservations so anticipate waiting during busy times. They have a large parking lot in front and along the side of the restaurant. I also want to point out the great service, our waiter was so friendly and attentive.

    Had an amazing time during our ladies night at this establishment. Bang bang shrimp taco was my favorite, along with the pulled pork taco. The sangria was okay imo. Service was phenomenal. Will definitely return.

    Good tacos and great vibes! A little loud to talk with your partner but not too loud that it was impossible. Service was quick and attentive, great on that front! The Mac appetizer was pretty great, nice and spicy, very flavorful! The taco trio I chose for Taco Tuesday was good. Nothing crazy but all three were enjoyable!

    4/5 "Spicy Blood Orange $13- Tanteo jalapeno tequila, blood orange syrup, blood orange soda, fresh lime, sour mix, agave"- got virgin, really good, not too sweet, I do wish it was a bit more sour, when the ice melts, you're left with jalapeno water which burns like ginger in the back of your throat, but damn that jalapeño water was fire, I couldn't get enough of it, lol 5/5 "queso + chips housemade warm queso + tortilla chips- 9 (card) 9.37" 3/5 "salsa + chips housemade pico salsa + tortilla chips 8.33" Lentil salsa, decent 4/5 "guac + chips housemade guacamole, diced tomatoes, cilantro, lime + red onion - 11.5 (card) 11.97" pretty good guac 5/5 caramelized Brussels sprouts $6 - this was exceptional, slightly sweet but didn't expect it to be this good 4/5 ahi tuna $7- really good but most of the flavor is the sauce, the tuna itself needs more flavor Wish they had non-fried shrimp options, grilled would be nice 3/5 Vietnamese shrimp $7- wish it had more flavor, didn't taste the spice 3/5 sweet plantains $6.24- personally not a fan of this dish since it's too sweet but it was decent, pretty standard

    4.25 Not your average taco place. On our way back home from Riverhead, we needed to stop for lunch and remembered we wanted to check out one of these locations since it's a small chain. This one happened to be the closest, so we stopped here. The space features the decorations, graphics, and bold colors you'd expect from newer, hipper taco spots, but the menu is what truly sets it apart. It draws heavily from other cultures, especially Asian cuisine, with items like bulgogi, bang bang shrimp, and more. We ordered the habanero ribs, duck bao buns, dirty nachos, and a steak burrito. Overall, the food was pretty decent. As I've mentioned in other nacho reviews, it's important for places to layer ingredients throughout the chips, and this spot does that well, which was a plus. The duck bao buns were surprisingly decent, and the habanero ribs were okay. The burrito was my least favorite, though--despite being marinated in chimichurri, it lacked flavor. I'd definitely check out their other locations. The menu is fun, our server was nice and attentive, and I'm hoping the same experience carries over to their other spots.

    Went here with my friend on Cinco de Mayo & had such a good experience. The wait was pretty average for how busy it was, the food was awesome, & the service was really good. One of the best parts was being able to bring our dogs with us. There was unfortunately a situation where another table had a very hyper dog that ended up going after our dogs, but the manager handled it incredibly well. They quickly addressed the situation, asked the other party to leave, and even gave us a gift card which was really appreciated. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and handled everything with a lot of grace and professionalism. Will definitely be back & it's really nice knowing my dog is welcome too!

    Visited Dirty Taco at this location a couple of times on work trips. Each time has been a good experience. There is a bar area and a large dining area with different rooms. The cocktails in general have been consistently prepared well, and the margaritas are served in little mason jars. There is a massive array of options when it comes to the food menu, with a bit of an Asian fusion with Tex mex. I have had a number of their tacos, some of which are fantastic with bold flavors and many different garnishes and accoutrements, some were so-so and not memorable. The service is typically friendly l, and the timing is pretty good overall. If you like Mexican cuisine with an Asian influence, give this place a try! There also a number of neat pieces of edgy artwork around the place. Be sure to take a look!

    This location is the best in my opinion. The ambiance is fantastic and lots of outdoor spots. The food was also delicious especially the Chayote Strings.

    Received a drink with a bug in it. Asked my waiter for a new drink and to compensate it on the bill. Was called "mean and disgusting" by a grown man as a 22 year old girl because I asked for better customer service.

    Tip: CASH DISCOUNT! Service: Standard. The server came around, took orders, brought orders, checked in with us, and brought our check. Nothing more, nothing less. Food: Pork Spare Rib- nice flavor. Even though it had a chili pepper on the menu indicating that it is spicy, there was no spice to it. The flavors were nice together and the pork was tender. Bang Bang Shrimp- kick of heat! This one was actually spicy and I loved it! The crispiness from the battered shrimp and the slaw had a wonderful crunch. Birria- Best! The taco had a nice crunch to the tortilla which helped the taco not fall apart. The consume was thick and flavorful! On to my next adventure...

    Chips and guacamole

    Cool ambiance. good tacos except my tofu bowl was still a little spicy even if I asked many times if it was and waiter said no so we didn't eat it. They couldn't put the sauce on the side. The rice was also undercooked and hard. The guacamole was good. They don't have any salad. Overall was average. Service is ok.

    Great food and drinks, and the service was really good too! A huge variety of tacos to choose from.

    Brunch date with my girls who live out this way because two out of three of us are moms and we were sold by the mimosas that were $.99. We were those girls that waited at the door for them to open. One of our husbands' dropped us off so we could partake in the mimosa special and I was going to stay by my friend's house for the day. Not that they were strong and I had only one and a coconut margarita which was delicious, but still stuck around for the day to hang. Nothing was that strong so we weren't messy brunch ladies. Our server Rob was great. Thorough with the menu. Didn't push anything too hard and had great reccs. The Cuban taco on the winter menu special was fire. The chorizo one was good but the Cuban one blew it out of the window. The guac and queso filled me up so I couldn't even get to my bang bang shrimp. That's lunch for tomorrow. The place is super fun with campy decorations that sport funny sayings. I dig it.

    The dirty blanco tequila is so good. Food is amazing. The best tacos are the bang bang shrimp, birria taco and the southern fried chicken.

    Really good taco fusion location. However prices are on the extreme high end. But overall the tacos are unique and worth the try.

I'm writing this review as I am eating the chips and salsa you sent us back to our hotel with! (Thank you!!) I highly recommend ordering some of the salsa verde, our group of 3 all agreed it was some of the absolute most delicious salsa we've ever tasted. The tacos I ate were really good, I like the one with the pineapple, and the chimichurri steak was delicious as well. Went back for a breakfast burrito which was very filling and delicious. Try the pina colada on the rocks! So good! We literally went back twice during our 3 day stay. 10/10 would recommend. Ask for Allison, she'll genuinely make you feel like family, in the best of ways.

    I always have a good meal here. 7 tacos, 1 burrito, 1 cocktail - $70. The service was great. Tax &…read moretip - it came out to 85-90$. The tacos hit the spot but my family also loves a burrito. I love getting a whole different mix. My fav is chicken tinga and chimchurri. Next time I'm trying the Nutella empanada. The sangria isn't my favorite - I'd deff opt for a marg. Sitting outside is a vibe (though you wouldn't think it sitting roadside). We love a high top hang too. It's casual, easy, delicious, and a fun Tuesday night to get some dinner drinks and yap. Nothing cures the soul like a fat marg, chips, salsa, and a bestie yap
