Most amazing rotisserie chicken, scrumptious soups and delicious meats! Everything about Fax Chix is top notch.... We've been dining here for many, many years, and usually do takeout: but every once in a while we like to get the cultural flair of this establishment so we dine in. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming! The menu is very eclectic with something for everyone's personal enjoyment! It's a very family-friendly restaurant as well, as we usually see many young children dining with their parents. It's predominantly Portuguese, and Mexican, with a Spanish flare, and everything is very fresh and delicious.... If you're ever in the Farmingville area on Portion Road stop in...I truly believe you won't be disappointed! Afterwards , you can go next-door to Euro Fresh for dessert at the best Portuguese bakery around town (and probably in all of Suffolk County)!!! read more

Ordered the Grelhado Com Molho--Grilled Portuguese Blue Mackerel with Boiled Potatoes and Spanish Sauce. By itself, it tasted okay. It was the Spanish Sauce that brought out the Unami flavor of the fish. Grilled Mackerel is a popular summer dish in Portugal. The fish lowers cholesterol due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, according to Google AI. The dish at Fax Chix was so popular today that it sold out within one hour of business opening. I also ordered a Caipiroska (lime, vodka, sugar) . It was strong but refreshing. As usual, the service was good, and the food took about 25 minutes to come out because everything was prepared fresh. read more

Fax Chix Restaurant - Fish dish grilled - Portuguese Near Me - Farmingville, New York

My wife went there to pick up an order, guy ask for number but he never gives one. Tell her to wait until he finds the order. Guy show up right after he told her to wait, guy has no order number either. (Cashier)Hi bro how are you doing order number, (client)I don't have one. (Cashier)Ok don't worry what's your phone number?. I'll find your order number!!. Cashier treats women differently!!. Great food.. bad attitude. read more

we love the food here, we go once a week. It's a small place and they get packed on the weekends, but it's well worth the wait and it's perfect for takeout. read more

Note: This is a cash only location. This is a place you get food relatively quickly and it's huge portions. I have been passing by this place several times. We were figuring out what to eat and decided to try this place since we were nearby. 4* and reading all the reviews with a grain of salt I think I had high expectations. The employees were great and efficient. Since it was a nice day, we opted to sit at the picnic tables outside. It had some food remnants, which isn't a big deal and you clean up the table a bit. We ordered Horchata and Jamaica drinks. Wow... They came in 20oz (pure guess on sizing) for $5.50 and $5.00 respectively. Jamaica was a bit sweet for me though for the price and size, can't really complain. We ordered: Appetizer: a platter of chicken wings - meat falls off the bone though it has a spicy kick. a whole roll of kielbasa - I thought it was crispy on the outside though a bit too salty for me. With the cheese, it was delicious. Entrees: Steak with onion - was ok. The dish was better than the chicken fajitas. Chicken fajitas - chicken wasn't marinated and dry. The soft tacos were plentiful. (Thank you!). With everything I tried, I was too full to eat everything. If you are in the neighborhood, give it a try. read more

Service is friendly and efficient. They're si goid here. This place is a laid-back authentic homemade restaurant. The food is clean and simple. Is really well done. The salmon and shrimp are delicious. The steak is good, but slightly overcooked. The chicken is okay but well cooked. I love the vibe of this place. Come eat and enjoy. It's hard to get a table, and they don't take reservations, but it's worth the wait. read more

We were shopping in the neighborhood and realized we didn't have lunch. Based on a recommendation from a friend we decided to try this place. There is a parking lot which is convenient. Surprising to us that mid -afternoon on a Sunday the restaurant was packed! We added our name to the list and waited 20 minutes or so. Once inside, it was full of locals so they know where to get authentic Portuguese/Mexican cuisine. We had the half chicken with rice, grilled chicken cutlets and a side of vegetables. Good size portions. Delish! The table next to us had ordered a raw steak that came on a slab and they cooked the steak themselves on the slab! Wish I knew what dish that was! Because they were cooking, the ceiling fans overhead kicked in. There is a full service bar as well. They have an extensive menu with Sunday specials. Service is friendly and efficient. It is CASH ONLY so come prepared. Definitely recommend it! read more

Great Mexican place in Suffolk county. Packed parking lot, packed dining area full of locals. Their Portuguese bread was delicious: we got Al pastor tacos and fajita mixed. Came with rice and beans and green hot sauce. There was a bowl of red hot sauce which was very good and spicy. I'd put that shit on everything if I could. It was a fun outing, had enough leftovers for few meals after. They don't stint on serving sizes. read more

It's really good I really loved the fries and chicken from there but I would not recommend to people that don't like meat because it's an endless amount of meat but I would recommend to non drinkers and and drinkers they have a pinà colda with and without alcohol so would recommend read more

The food is very nice. I think a bit pricey but worth it. It's a nice cozy restaurant but more of a casual feel. Good service.

I came by because I saw a sign that said it was Mexican and Portuguese. It seems famous for its chicken, so that's what I ordered, I ordered the chicken with rice and beans. I think getting it with fries seems to be the popular option. You can get a half or a whole chicken. I really just wanted dark meat but just getting just dark meat is not an option. So I got half of a chicken. The dark meat was very flavorful. The white meat is still in my refrigerator. It's nice like Portuguese restaurants they bring you olives and bread and butter. The crowd inside was lively and a little bit loud, but they seem like they are regulars, which is always a good sign. So half a chicken with a soda and tip came to just over $20 and they only take cash. I would recommend it for the chicken since that's what I had other items on the menu are tacos and various meat entrées. read more

Fax Chix Restaurant - half chicken with rice and beans - Portuguese Near Me - Farmingville, New York

Foods great. But that's not everything... This place is so busy and they do nothing to mitigate the massive amount of PEOPLE waiting to sit down at the door. It's packed and uncomfortable. There is also a massive amount of people who are waiting for tables out in their cars. They just keep doing things the same old way and it's gotten to the point where we won't even go there anymore. It would be as simple as taking people's phone numbers to text them when their tables ready. But they don't do that and it's just a DISASTER. We waited 45 minutes for a table we were told a table would take a half hour. Then when we finally sat down there was no chicken. They told us if you want chicken it's another 40 more minutes. Then we see a ton of chicken being delivered out of the kitchen so I'm not really sure what was up with that. All I know is the owner needs to stop sitting at the bar doing nothing and help get things handled in a way that makes sense. Also for not for anything but no credit cards is BS. Holy IRS red flag! FOODS GREAT THO. DO TAKE OUT. read more

This is my second time to Fax Chix. The food is good, the ambiance is relaxed, service quick. It's not a fancy place where you need to dress up. They have a parking lot as well as roadside parking. Our waittress was very nice even helped pack the good. It is cash only; with that being said, the bill was 79 bucks, so we paid in cash with a hundred-dollar bill and the plan was to leave her the rest for the tip but she never came back with the change so that we can give it to her! So basically she took the tip automatically. Which I never experienced anything of the sort before. I'll still go back to eat but with plenty of singles and change so I can decide on the tip. read more

Amazing food with an prompt service if not busy, and the freshly cooked food real brings the culture into focus he room

Tasty Food? Great Prices? Amazing service? If that's what you're looking for then this is the place for you Listen, this restaurant has been around for a few years and has never failed to deliver some of the best tasting food on the ISLAND at amazing prices. With such a grand variety of dishes, I guaranteed you'll always have something new to try. With that being said depending on the day and time, from personal experience, wait times for a table could range from 20-40 mins which is understandable given the popularity of the place. As I always state, if you're in the area and looking for a new spot to invite your friends and family, I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

**MAGIC PORTUGUESE GRILL MAKES ANYTHING COOKED ON IT ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS** **COOL OPEN KITCHEN AND RESTAURANT VIBE** OVERVIEW: To be honest, it's easy to ignore Fax Chix restaurant. It really doesn't appear to be anything special from the outside. And if you think about it, it's name is kind of absurd as well. So just like many others, I've driven by countless times in the past, and never really considered stopping in. But then, thanks to a much appreciated recommendation from Yelp's Gail B, I finally did take notice. And now, it's hard for me to pass by, or even see pictures on Yelp, without feeling the need to go grab one of my favorite dishes from this unique restaurant. So now, let me fill you in on what makes this place so special. First of all, as soon as you enter the restaurant, you'll notice the open kitchen. And because of this, I highly recommend you place a take-out order at the register, the first time you visit. This way, you can walk out in the lobby area and watch the chefs working through the front window. Now, the first thing you'll recognize is what I like to call the "Magic Grill." And to be honest, I'm really not certain if it's how they marinate the items before grilling, or how everything is seasoned, the chef's technique, or if it's the design of the grill itself. Hell, maybe it's all of those things. But what I am certain of, is that anything put on this grill will taste friggin outrageous. Especially if you ask for your items to be cooked somewhat well done. But really, I'm not exaggerating about the grill. As an example, most everyone enjoys a nicely grilled piece of chicken, right?. And, we all have our favorite pieces - I mostly like wings and breasts, but others really enjoy legs and thighs. But here at Fax Chix - I guarantee - you will love every piece of chicken, regardless of what it is. And believe me, if you're a fan of steak, or grilled seafood you gotta come to this joint. I'm telling you, when you put the food here, in your mouth for the first time, you'll understand. WHAT'S GOOD TO ORDER: - The grilled salmon steak is my all time favorite item here. It's tender, seasoned perfectly, and smells outrageous off the grill. - The whole grilled red snapper or branzino is also great, but the branzino has a lot of bones. - Any of the steaks or short ribs are fantastic. - The grilled pork chops or ribs are also very good. - The grilled giant shrimp, or steak and shrimp are a great choice. - As mentioned before, the whole or half grilled chicken is one of the best I've had. - The tacos, or fajitas are not the best I've had, but still very good because of the grilled meats. - The broccoli rabe with garlic is perfectly cooked and delicious. - The spicy seafood soup Sunday special is worth the trip. - Make sure to order a Portuguese bread with your meal. With meats this good, you have to make a sandwich. - If you're going to order in person, or dine-in, definitely check out the specials board in the back. SERVICE / DECOR: The restaurant has a cool Latin festive vibe, with a medium sized dining area and a full bar. And right in front of the kitchen is a refrigerated display case, where you can view the different fresh meats and seafood available to be served that day. When visiting, you'll notice the place is always busy with locals who know just how good the food is here. It definitely seems to be a destination for those looking to relax after a long days work, have a delicious meal, and then maybe a few drinks. When dining in, the waitresses are friendly and helpful. But for some reason, there always seems to be someone different behind the front counter when I visit. And sometimes when I'm trying to place an order, that person may not speak fluent English. But for me, it's all just part of the interesting vibe and charm of this wonderful establishment. PARTING THOUGHTS: As I mentioned before, the outside appearance of the restaurant doesn't really hint at the outstanding quality of the food served inside. But what you will notice, from the moment you get out of your car, is the smell of that magic grill. It's almost like a wonderful invitation to come inside, and have a great meal. You know, the other day i picked up a take-out order, and as I was given the food, I said to the gentleman behind the counter "you guys have the best food". Without skipping a beat, he replied "I know". And that, just about sums it all up folks. read more

You never see this place empty - the parking lot is always jam packed! I've been coming here for years and I can never get enough. You have to try the chicken with extra spicy sauce. It's to die for! Obviously it is very spicy so if that's not something your palate will enjoy I still recommend just getting the plain grilled chicken. The chicken is always cooked to perfection and incredibly well seasoned. Another one of my go tos is the carnitas tacos and OOF! They always hit the spot. Usually comes with green or red sauce, which are both INCREDIBLE! Great portions and always a generous amount of sauce on the side. If you're in the area, I strongly recommend stopping by! But be forewarned....you may have a 20 min to 1 hr wait time for your food, but trust me when I say that it's absolutely worth it! Good prices and even better food! read more

I found the price extraordinarily expensive for the quality and the presentation of the food...a hint of such a surprise would have been the fact that Fax Chic Restaurant website doesn't list the prices on their website. A main course (with a significant bulk of rice) was U$ 41, a side salad (poorly put together lettuce and tomatoes) was U$ 13...and so on... No comments about service and ambiance, as this was a pick up order. read more

Food was not very good, I can tell the meat was not fresh. I want out to go eat with my family . My siblings got the ribs but once they come to our table they were cold not just a little cold but like they just came out the fridge cold. Service was good too but the server didn't seem too pleased when we told him about our food. I feel like back then fax chix was amazing and had very good food but now I don't know what happened but they're declining with quality. read more

In a first time experience Fax Chix Restaurant really impressed us with the unique and distinct plates ordered in special, as well as on the menu. Not ordering ahead this staff accommodated services immediately. One employee letting me know the specials and how they were made and another took my name and said 10 minutes. They orchestrated a synchronized delegation to ordering and made right on the spot in minutes. The food was marinated and grilled with sautéed collard greens rice & French fries The special of the day A Pinanha A delightful dish offered made to perfection with fresh meat. Honoring safety CDC state and federal regulations. A very highly satisfied experience Chef & Service Excellent Hero's on the frontlines in these uncertain times. read more

Came here off recommendations a lot of my co workers and others I know said it was great, the food is amazing I was told. First things first I walk in I can't find anyone to talk to, also I wish someone their was able to understand me. I'm also Spanish (slightly Mexican) so I understand you can't understand me to well but I didn't learn Spanish growing up (long story) so I only know English. I try to find a table to sit at after like 10 minutes standing their, after I order my food points to a sign that says cash only, kinda wish I was told that soon as I sit down or walk in. So I never got to try the food looks good but I need to come here with cash and a friends who can speak for me. I felt so out of place, won't go back alone but if I can get someone to go with me I would go back. read more
