The birria tacos, shrimp salad, and loaded nachos were definitely the standout items for me, flavorful, fresh, and really enjoyable. A few dishes missed the mark. The KBBQ tacos were okay, and the chicken rice bowl tasted like the chicken may not have been as fresh as it could've been. I also personally wasn't a fan of the rice pudding empanada but the churros were absolutely delicious. My best friend ordered the margarita tower and felt the drinks were on the weaker side as well. That being said, the ambiance and service were great, and I really appreciated that the owner was attentive and accommodating. You can tell they care about customer experience, which goes a long way. Overall, I think this spot has some really strong menu items and a fun atmosphere. read more

The staff is very friendly only complaint is the salsa dish is so shallow it's hard to get any on the chip also the rice and beans need more flavor very bland read more

I took my teenage God Twins out to dinner on Friday evening at this establishment. We ordered everything and some. Loved the street corn and guacamole & the kids enjoyed their meals. However, the temperature dropped drastically and they had the front door and windows wide open. I asked very politely if they could close them due to the colder temperatures and I was visibly uncomfortable. I was told the owner likes them open. Well, that will be the very last time I ever enter into High Tide. Very poor customer service with that one... read more

My daughter and I went here last Tuesday. We went back again tonight. Elijah was our server both times. The service was wonderful, the food is delicious The margarita towers are not worth it. You're better off maybe having 2 drinks .The atmosphere is nice also. Maybe we will go back again next week read more

High Tide Taco Bar - Birria Taco, Hibachi Taco, and Fish Taco - Mexican Near Me - Farmingdale, New York

Returned to this place after some time, I should have returned sooner, the place is well lit with a nice and clean look, it's very inviting, the service is very good, our waitress was friendly and attentive, the food was even better than the last time I was here, we really enjoyed our meals. We started with a Jalapeño and a Blackberry Mint Margarita. They were good, and they were followed by some Santa Fe Empanadas and Stuffed Plantains. They were very good, the plantains surprised me, I'm not a big fan of plantains but they sure worked the way they prepared them. We ended our meals with a Caribbean and a Korean Taco, which was pretty good, and I had the Fish, Seared Tuna, and Shrimp Taco combo. It was delicious. Will definitely return more often. read more

High Tide Taco Bar - Black bean soup - Mexican Near Me - Farmingdale, New York

The server is really nice, but the manager was super rude. We came in as a group of eight and two of our friends came after and they wanted to join our table and the manager told us we couldn't add on extra because people were waiting. There's literally not one person waiting to eat in this restaurant. there's literally three empty tables right now that could've been added on to our table but no, they're letting our friends sit along the bench seat with no table in front of them and not letting them to order food. They don't wanna even give money to this business because of how rude the manager was. All of us have worked in the service industry and we don't understand why they're acting like this. It actually makes no sense. read more

Food is inedible. The menu looks amazing online but the quality and taste is severely lacking. Steak was chewy and would be embarrassed to give it to my dog. Buffalo chicken taco had not one flavor to it, chicken seemed boiled. We were the only ones in there and was not surprised. The service was fine considering us being the only ones in there. read more

Great food and drinks for a casual night out! The coconut margarita was absolutely perfect. My friend and I shared the dip trip which had one of the best quesos I've ever had. Then for my meal I got the Koran beef and the Big Mac taco (I forgot the actual name). They were so delicious and really stuffed with the ingredients. The rice and beans were delicious on the side. They have so many options on the menu, including seasonal tacos, so you can come back many times and always try something new! read more

Was hoping this place would deliver delicious tacos. Unfortunately, we were left disappointed. No one asked how we were enjoying the food, and we weren't. My chicken tasted off and the beef taco had a particular spice; possibly cinnamon?? The rice tasted microwaved, but the beans were edible. My son's steak taco was okay, but the pico had a moldy taste. Good thing we filled up on the chips! They were good, but the queso lacked flavor. Overall disappointing experience. read more

Ugh! I hate to have to report this. I returned with family to try the tacos!This was an utter disaster. First...the service was atrocious. The waiter and owner were engaged in conversation at the bar and it took nearly 10 minutes to come to our table. They only approached due to our waving our hands. The owner came and we asked about the 2 for 1 drinks which the owner said was good for today and included margaritas. We ordered one set (later the waiter said that it was only 2 for 1 if you ordered a food combo. We explained that was not what the owner said. The waiter left to get the owner, who he could not locate. He came to our table after a good deal of time and said he'd honor it). The food came. The cheese was wretched and sour. It smelled horrible. The smell was so vile one person in my party got visibly sick. The waiter was apologetic but we could not stay. It was a terrible experience and will be the last time I come here. Of note, we did have an appetizer (7 bean dip which was good) and the waiter did not charge us for the one drink and dip which I appreciated. read more

I'm adding this place on my list as a new spot for tacos. A friend and I went to High Tide Taco Bar on a Sunday evening to grab dinner and catch up and I have to say, I was quite satisfied. It wasn't busy so we seated rather quickly, which was good because the place isn't huge. Our waiter brought us chips and salsa for the table as we looked over the menu. So many taco options to choose from; they all sounded good. But I opted for the pulled pork, carribean (chicken) and brisket. My friend got Korean, fish, and carribean as well. I enjoyed all three, but my favorites were the pulled pork and carribean. My friend loved the Korean taco. Add some hot sauce for a bit more spice/flavor. It was the extra kick I needed, made it even better. For drinks we got margaritas. I got a berry margarita and my friend had a frozen Mango margarita. Mine was good. But there was no salt or sugar on the rim. What's a margarita without that? Anyway, it was okay but I had better. I probably should have went with a mai tai or Mojito. Either way, I'll be back for more tacos! read more

I prefer tacos with more traditional Mexican flavors over those with an American twist. They're not bad -- just not to my taste.

Very good food and a great vibe with family or friends would recommend this place to anyone who likes Mexican food. Also try the dips

Told my son I was hungry, and this place did not disappoint at all. If I could eat a taco every day, it would be from this place!!!. I love love, love, well seasoned food and especially when they give you more than expected. I had a shrimp and it was so good, seasoned, and with enough shrimp. Then I had the plantin with the pork, salsa rioja, blended cheese with sour cream on the side. I can't wait to take that home and finish it, lol. This is definitely a place I will be eating from again. I will try other stuff on the menu, but the stuffed plantain was recommended read more

Big fan of High Tide Taco Bar! Highly recommend trying this place out in Farmingdale. I first got to try this place out when we had a Yelp Elite Event where we had taco take out kits. I loved the taco take out kids and felt like the meal was scrumptious and filling. We returned today to take out lunch. I love the ambiance and vibe of this place. Beachy with Spanish vibes at the bar. The customer service here is great. We are always warmly greeted nd given great suggestions of what to try. We ordered take out of the Taco Salad and the Southwestern Salad but substituted shrimp for the steak. The chipotle parmesan dressing is DELISH! We couldn't finish our lunches as they were filling and I look forward to eating it again later. I have yet to try the drinks here so that will be next on my to do list. So you wouldn't really think to order it... but the hidden secret of this place is the dessert! Let me tell you, we ordered the churros with the chocolate dipping sauce the first time with our taco kits. Omg - brought me back to my childhood days. Who doesn't love a delicious churro! Well this place has it. Well today - the kind man at the bar - I think he was the owner or manager, I didn't get to catch his name, suggested we try to Rice Pudding Empanadas. So like I would never think of ordering that on my own. But we decided why not let's try it. Wow. SO GOOD! Warm empanadas with rice pudding with an apple dipping sauce and topped with cinnamon. YUM. Please go there now for dessert - I wish I had more! Great customer service, delicious meals and dessert, overall a great place. Support local businesses! This one is one of them! read more

Me and my family were craving tacos and saw this place online and decided to give it a shot, hoping for it to be delicious, but tacos turned to tragedy. I bit into my taco with high hopes, only to fall from grace into the hell that was my mouth as I chewed it. As I forced it down my throat, I tried to seek immediate relief in the queso and was met with despair. Dreading my next bite, I took a fork full of rice, and I'll just tell you this, it really wasn't nice!!!!! Everything was microwaved and cheap, including the watered down drinks. The service was alright but it could have been more. The ambiance was not very good for a taco place. I can see why this place was so empty. This place drools, other taco places rule! read more

--updating to respond to owner: I can assure you that it was not a misunderstanding and your snarky little response is laced with the evidence to prove my review to be true. You're rude, you were disrespectful, I will not be removing my review like you asked in a private message, and I will not be back to your establishment. Good luck and have a nice day. read more

So happy we finally made it to Hi Tide. Each trip to and from Stew Leonard's always includes "we really have to try Hi Tide". A rare day off from work gave us the chance. Absolutely delish Seared Tuna taco with a side of black beans.

Overall not a bad spot in the village which features a California Mexican cuisine and a beachy restaurant vibe. Food was decent and the menu had alot of options, especially taco wise. My wife and I split 4 tacos which were all just ok. Size wise it was great, but flavor wise they were just ok. Not bad tacos, but not the best tacos I've ever had. The empanadas we split were very good and would recommend. Service was good and the waiter was knowledgeable of the menu. Overall if your in the village and craving Cali Mexican food it's not a had option. I'd imagine it's a good happy hour spot. read more

A tad bit disappointed with this joint. Had lunch there with some others and we tried quite a few things off the menu. Nothing really stood out as exceptional, and a few items were actually on the dry side. I had higher hopes, but maybe I just visited on the wrong day at the wrong time. I might give it a shot again sometime. Staff was very pleasant and it had a nice casual feel inside. read more

The owner is a great guy. The drinks are excellent. Food is good! If you like tacos, not a bad place to visit.

Really hate giving a taco place a bad review, but man, this was bad bad. The place was empty when we walked in. I wonder why. Tacos came fast. But flavor was 'eh.' Toppings were sloppy. Slipping out and falling all over the place. Worst of all (yes, it gets worse), I tasted probably the WORST GUAC I've ever had in my life. Why was the guac sour?? Tasted like someone dropped a bottle of lemon juice in this guac.. You can find better, especially on Main St. read more

I was on my own for dinner last night and decided to do some local takeout. I've had High Tide bookmarked for a while, so I made my decision! I did a to-go order for 3 tacos. I picked: blackened Caribbean chicken- Taco had generous amount of chicken with a mango salsa. The flavor was nice. shrimp- taco had a nice salsa on top of the shrimp. Pico was yummy too. A lot more shrimp than I expected. seasonal lobster- WOW. Probably my favorite taco of the 3. A lot more lobster than I expected and the citrus aioli was golden. I want it on everything! All were delicious and had unique flavor. You can pick either flour, corn, hard shell or lettuce wrap for your tacos. All my tacos were wrapped individually for the to go order and were still hot back at home. The tacos weren't even soggy! I was also given some chips. Didn't have any because I was so full from the tacos. THEY ARE VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN FRIENDLY! They have both vegetarian and vegan taco offerings on their menu. While I am not either, those tacos sound delicious and I would try them during my next visit. They also have other things...not just tacos! Wings, enchiladas, fries, empanadas, soups, quesadillas, salads, rice bowls, etc. Something for everyone! Oh and beer! Beer, wine and cocktails! Can't wait to return! read more
