    the front of a restaurant
    Paul D.

    Small taquiera in Uniondale serves some pretty delicious Mexican fare. The burittos are huge and stuffed with yummy fillings and the tacos are fresh (almost as yummy as the tacos from Taco Veloz in Jackson Heights) The horchata is yummy and the baleadas are amazing! The Baleadas Especial with carne asada is a yummy soft tortilla stuffed with beans and avocado and eggs and delicious flavor meat! Simply the best!

    Its very small and LOUD. Me and my boyfriend always order delivery even tho we live a couple blocks down. Good thing its open late, plus the food is good. The problem I have is that I always ask for my food to have no onions and for some reason they always add extra. Another thing is that sometimes I'll order some type of meat and I'll get chicken or I'll ask for a certain drink and get something completely different. My boyfriend is vegetarian so I always order him a cheese quesadilla and replace the chicken with some beans inside. They charge me $3 extra dollars just for that and I think thats completely ridiculous!! The food is good but its not really Mexican food, atlas not authentic.

    I had the Chicken & shrimp tostada loaded with refried beans, Lettuce, crema, tomatoes, avocados, grated cheese, radishes & tomatoes.... chicken was seasoned well but a bit dry, shrimp perfectly cooked and seasoned perfectly. For 10 dollars i got an authentic tasteful fulfilling meal :-)

    I was not impressed. I'm from Mexico so I know the real deal and this is definitely not close. It's good though but not authentic.

    It's about time I update my review for No Rush Cafe. They are literally the only place in the area…read moreI can comfortably get some work done while enjoying a 'no rushed' breakfast or lunch. Sure there are some great deli's, diners and cafe spots but at No Rush Cafe, you never feel like your present is detracting from business. There's been times where I get me a sandwich and a coffee, crack open my laptop to do some emails and video editing, and all of a sudden when I look at my watch, 2 hours has passed. Their booths are incredibly comfortable and even have inspired me to create some breakfast nook booth seating at home.

    This place is good, not great, when it comes to the drinks. I don't like overly sweet drinks and I…read morelike the taste of good roasted espresso. That said, I requested 1/2 sugar in my decaf iced brown sugar shaken espresso. I am avoiding caffeine. It was still too sweet for my taste. We also got a regular coffee which was okay. The iced lavender matcha latte was probably the best. Still a little too sweet. Last was an iced matcha latte; overpowered by sugar. If you want to taste your matcha or coffee, definitely request less sugar, much less. I didn't eat the pastries but my family said the chocolate croissant was flaky with good quality chocolate. We had it warmed up; definitely recommend that. The service was very friendly and helpful. Inside it's dark with cool paintings on the walls. They have several sitting areas with all types of couches and chairs. Outside it smelled like weed; inside it did not. Well, there you go!

We chose to sit at the bar, where our bartender, Michaela, was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. She recommended the jerk chicken quesadilla and the blackened fish tacos, and both turned out to be excellent choices. Before ordering, we enjoyed their award-winning margaritas, which certainly lived up to the hype. Following Michaela's recommendations proved to be the right decision, as every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared. As we finished our meal, we found ourselves unable to decide whether The Bungalow was "really very good" or "very really good." Either way, everything we tried was delicious. We look forward to returning soon to explore more of the menu. This is definitely a place worth visiting if you're looking for great food, creative flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Great portion sizes but we didn't taste any of the flavor that was described on the dish. The jerk wasn't jerk at all, just sweet, the burrito had multiple things in it but taste like all one, and the loaded nachos were a fail. There was a pile of meat just thrown on the nachos and under was a bunch of burnt chips. The served tried to accommodate us and was helpful but everything just fell flat for us. The best thing on we had though was the tuna tartar That was actually our reason for making the trip and it didn't disappoint.

Unfortunately, this review is not good at all due to the lack of class, judgment, and inadequacy of this establishment. We came here on a date night because we heard nothing but great reviews on this place. We were seated by a very unpleasant hostess who made it known she did not want to be there at all. We waited for a while for a server to come up to us to get our drink order, but that never happened. I was reluctant to leave at first, but then noticed that there was another table across from us a family of four with two kids who were having the same problem too. They waited patiently as we were, but no one was around to serve us because they were all standing at the bar being loud and goofing around. At that point I had enough and we walked out. I have now read the most recent reviews on this establishment after I left and I should have done that before we came here. A lot of unpleasant reviews have been posted for the past six months about this place. So apparently there's a reason why I had the experience I did as everyone else did recently. It's a shame because the Old reviews prior to the past couple of months were phenomenal. Oh wait you guys must be permanently closed by now as one of the other posts said. Now you should understand why. It is what it is, Right?

The raspberry compote added a fantastic, bright fruitiness, and the whipped mascarpone was the perfect, light, and not-too-sweet finish. This was a dish that I'd happily order again. I came here on a weekday, so the restaurant was very quiet. Service was nice (but a bit slow). I definitely recommend this restaurant for brunch.

The food was absolutely amazing. Everything my family and I ordered was flavorful, fresh, and exceeded our expectations. There wasn't a single dish that disappointed us. A special shoutout to the gentleman with locs and glasses who was working at the front. His customer service was outstanding. He was friendly, professional, and helped create a positive first impression. Our waitress was okay overall, but the front-of-house service really stood out. The only downside was the wait. We waited well over an hour, closer to two hours, and the restaurant was packed. Parking was also extremely difficult. They do offer valet parking, which helps, but the lot was still very challenging to navigate due to how busy it was. Also, this place is pricey! Even with the long wait, price, and parking issues, the food and overall experience made it worth it. My family and I would definitely return and recommend it to others.

Of course Long Island has lots of diners, but they are all unique, and I would say that based on my experience, Imperial is one of the best. I did not want your typical huge diner meal, which is much too much food, so I went with a nice dinner size Mediterranean Salad. The food was excellent - top quality fresh ingredients, put together beautifully and delicious. I was equally impressed by the service. When I travel to New York, I will often run into people who are not particularly friendly or helpful, including many who work at restaurants. This was not the case at all at Imperial. They were kind, and eager to give me a great experience. For a diner, it was not too noisy, and everything was very clean. Prices were very fair too. The only thing lacking .. and I saw this a lot in New York, was non-alcoholic beer. I cannot drink alcohol, and this is something I really enjoy with my meals. Imperial does have a variety of "Mocktails" .. so there are options for folks like me ..but it would be nice to see some beer options for the growing number of people who either cannot drink, or prefer to avoid alcohol. This is definitely a good choice if you are looking for a nice diner. Highly recommended.
