Bourbon chicken cheese fries

I've been coming here for years and I am highly disappointed in the service. I understand due to Covid and inflation that prices are going up however after checking my bag before leaving. I noticed that the bourbon chicken was extremely dry and I asked for just a little sauce on top of the chicken. She told me that she put a lot already and that I would be $.75 extra for the sauce.

Bourbon chicken over rice
Henry M.

Yea, not quite sure where to put this place. It's a Mexican restaurant run by Chinese in an American Chinese take-out sort of fashion. It's cheap and, when my coworkers suggested we order from here, I did not know what to expect. I got the bourbon chicken over rice, which was under $4 delivered to me. It wasn't great. The bourbon chicken just tasted salty with no real discernible flavor. The rice underneath it was soggy and also quite salty. The rice was like the kind of rice that is made from a box or purchased frozen and just reheated. The guacamole was a weird concoction of guac, salsa, and sour cream resulting in a sort of liquidy sauce that tasted nothing of guacamole. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. I used some of it to give the bourbon chicken some flavor. Would I come back here? No. But I guess if you're in the mood for Asianized Americalized Mexican food delivered to your door for less than the cost of a frozen Hungry Man dinner, Island Grill is for you.

Take out date: March 15, 2014 So I got really happy that I found a Mexican place to deliver in Babylon. Green cactus shut down (and they had stopped delivering before that), Swell Taco doesn't deliver, and Del Feugo doesn't deliver. I was pressed for time but really wanted Mexican on Saturday so I found this place, placed an order with them and went about my business until my food was delivered. When the Chinese guy delivered my Mexican food, and I figured out that this was one of those Mexican food cooked by Chinese people sort of a deal (like this place my parent's have in Baldwin) I figured the food might not be all that good. The guac was pretty disgusting, it had a Mayo type of consistency. My suggestion don't get the gauc here. The Nachos were interesting. At first I thought they were good despite the fact that they used the same type of melted cheese that Taco Bell, 711, and the movie theatres use (sorry I like fresh cheese unless I'm at Taco Bell, 711, or the movie theatre). As I munched on more chips though a few of the nacho chips did seem stale to me. My burrito was not wrapped the correct way. I had to keep it in the tinfoil to eat it. It was alright. Chock full of veggies that did seem pretty fresh, they did include rice in it, along with melted movie theatre nacho cheese. I was starving so I wolfed down the food, it was edible or I wouldn't have eaten it but it definitely wasn't one of my favorite meals. I think I'll stick to having to pick up my Mexican food or eat it in restaurant, unless some of Island Grill's competition starts to deliver! *hint hint* swell taco!

Hard Shell Ground Beef Taco
Christina J.

Got the regular hard shell tacos tonight. Plenty of meat. It's just the meat has a kind of sweetness to it that I'm not a fan of. Not bad. It might appeal to someone else's palate, just not mine.

The chicken burrito brought me to climax. Plus the parking is good. 5 stars. Keep up the good work.

Despite the atmosphere which is lacking overall, island grill has some of the best Mexican food anywhere in the area.

By far one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants I've had this year! I took my dad here for Father's…read moreDay recently as he's been here before and it's his favorite restaurant in Long Island right now. The environment is so nice, especially with the different flags all around for the World Cup. It definitely has a Mexican styled ambiance which I loved. For starters we had the guac and chips which were absolutely delicious. Our main courses varied from enchiladas, quesadillas (steak ones were so yum!), Mole, and Birria Tacos. These dishes were all so good and they make it with so much love. The staff here was so nice and made sure we felt right at home. :) They offer so much including great drinks. If you're in Long Island looking for a new spot to eat, try this one!!! Can't wait to come back.

My date had the verde entree and it was really good. She enjoyed it. The chips and salsa on the table were delicious and the they are clearly homemade. Ambiance is "ok". It's showing its age a bit on the flooring and the molding. The service is why I'm deducting point and I'd give them 3.5 stars if I could. We sat a bit and waited to have our orders taken and sat a bit longer for the check. They were nice, polite, friendly but a little quicker service would have been appreciated. Would I go back? Sure. I'll try something else.

We were greeted promptly by our server who was very courteous. He took our drink order promptly and we ordered the appetizer of chips and guacamole. They bring out chips and salsa for every table. We ordered the iron skillet the Birria, chicken tacos, and a Besito bowl. The Besito bowl with steak was absolutely delicious. I tried Birria for the first time and it was very tasty. The iron skillets came with tortillas on the side so you can make your own soft tacos and my kids said that they enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything phenomenal. We asked them to remove the chorizo, but both of the iron skillet came out with chorizo. They did immediately take them back and deliver them promptly, leads me to believe they just simply removed the chorizo and sent it back out. Overall, it was a good experience, if I ever am craving Mexican food I would visit. The only reason I took one star away is the guacamole was $16 and it was a really small amount for that price. Also, because I told the waiter several times that we do not eat any pork and specified that we do not want the chorizo. The ambience of the restaurant is nice, it is on the smaller side, small and intimate.

The location might seem small, but it's jammed packed with traditional flavors that are being executed to perfection. Can't believe I waited this long living in the neighborhood (2+yrs) to finally stroll in and experience what some might say is 'Pura Vida' or !Magnífico¡ Upon first visit, I had to try one of their margaritas and at least one 'Street food' menu item, so opted for their Pear Margarita and Birria Empanadas. Let's say Bravo, Brava and Encore to explore more of their menu. The cocktail was totally on point without being overpowering in any way, very balanced and brightly refreshing. The empanadas were deliciously crispy without being greasy, stuffed and sealed perfectly. Then opted to try their Mashed Potatoes Fries and requested a side of their advertised Shishito slaw seen topping another menu item. I loved the way they created and presented both. The fries were a perfect balance of soft but crisped with the creme drizzle and pickled onions. :* The Shishito slaw was a summery, crunch lightly dressed which has me wanting and requesting more the next visit. They should definitely add that as one of their regular listed sides. My husband had a burger with regular slaw and an old fashioned styled cocktail which he mentioned to be exceptional as well. Can't wait to dive deeper into their menu and would highly recommend to others.

Then the feast began....elote, cajun lime BBQ wings, mussels, tuna tostadas, chicken taquito, carne asada taco, and pernil with rice & beans... and WOW. Every single dish had its own unique flavor that kept me wanting more. * The elote was seasoned perfectly * Wings were crispy and literally finger-lickin' good * Mussels came in a rich, delicious Cajun cream sauce * Tuna tostada had a delicious soy-sesame glaze * Chicken taquito = crisp perfection * Carne asada taco cooked perfectly * Pernil with rice and beans was a perfect marriage of flavors To finish it all off was churro bites which was the sweetest ending. I also had a classic margarita which was fantastic. Service was just as impressive as the food...waters were never empty and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They even provided us wet-naps after both the elote and wings. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for taking such great care of our private party!

We sat in their insulated outdoor area amidst string lights and beachy vibes, and every meal starts out with their addicting tortilla chips and salsa verde. (Pro-tip -- save some of this green salsa to have with whatever you order!) We tried their chicken flautas appetizer, and if you are a fan of all that is cheesy and crispy, you will definitely enjoy this one. My favorite item on the menu was next -- the Crunch and Munch ground beef taco -- this literally was an elevated version of Taco Bell's cheesy Gordita crunch, and it made me super happy. We also shared their shredded beef burrito (think barbacoa), which was a Saturday special, but honestly, any of their burritos would be worthwhile. (I dare say that the burritos also feel kind of light? They are not over-the-top in the best way possible!) If you're looking for a casual taco spot after a day at Robert Moses or Overlook Beach (or any day, really), definitely check this place out -- you will fall in love after the first flavorful bite.
