    Crispy!

    I was turned off to Island Empanada from the patchogue location so I normally swear clear of them but we were in the shopping center & starving so we gave it a try. What a surprise! This location is SUPER clean. It feels like they truly care about every detail. The menu is right on the counter in front of the register or on the TVs on the back wall. The dinner special is a no brainer 3 empanadas of your choose rice beans & sweet plantains $14.99 with a fountain soda. I substituted my plantains for double rice & beans. I got a beef & cheese, a Cuban & a chorizo empanada. I ate 1 1/2 empanada and a side before I called it! Super filling & delicious. Amazing experience from beginning to end! TY IE! Love the impression on the empanadas!

    Got introduced to this wonderful Cuban restaurant when they were in Queens over 30 years ago. They…read moreclosed that location and now operate out of Huntington and New Hyde Park. Their food, service and hospitality has been always been five star. So when something is so good why change, just expand. We visit the Huntington location quite often. We start with Pina Coladas and Cuba Libre (rum and coke), for appetizers the chorizo and tamales. While there is an assortment of meats, fish and chicken, our favorite is the ropa veija, tender shredded beef in a wonderful sauce with the best steamed white rice and of course madoros. Another hit of ours is the breaded steak and my new favorite, the broiled flounder. Our next dish will be the paella. Just need to call ahead. The Flan, Tres Leches cake and Cuban coffee is always a good ending. The service is always top notch. Red and white table cloths. A bar area with a separate dining area. You may even be lucky to catch a unique celebration song and dance by one of the staff. Make sure you have your camera ready. And a special thank you to Raul. The last time we were there, I tried a new dish that was good, but not something that enjoyed. Don't you know it, Raul surprised me and sent me home with a serving of Ropa Vieja. Thank you Raul.

    Food is hit or miss here! Sometimes it's great and delicious and others not as enjoyable…read more If you eat inside don't be shafted like we were with 1/2 pitchers just get the whole one even if you don't drink it all it's cheaper then 1/2 we asked the waiter and he suggested we buy 1/2's. Also dessert was fair. Overall though the times we were sitting down inside and not takeout. Was enjoyable. I gave 4 stars based on that one time. Take out not great, and expensive. Remember full carafes and you will save lot of money!!
