So I stopped by with my family tonight for a quick bite out. I've had Taco Island once before but…read moreto take home, I don't recall what I got the first time around but I do remember being impressed. Growing up in New Mexico and Texas, I find it hard to find a spot on LI that helps satisfy the craving for good Mexican/TexMex. Tonight, we got a pretty good platter of food. My wife and I got a total of 8 tacos, 4 Birria tacos (2 of each), and 4 street tacos. (2 carne asada, 2 carnitas). My kids each got a quesadilla, regular and chicken bacon ranch. I tried the chicken bacon ranch and that thing was pretty serious lol. My kids could have definitely just shared one. With all of that being said, the carne asada street tacos were definitely my favorite of everything, followed by the carnitas then finally the birria tacos. The salsa verde they served in the cup was as authentic as they come, and I put that sh** on every single bite. Something about the salsa verde in the bottle just wasn't hitting the same. As my family was wrapping everything up, this nice young lady approached us and offered complimentary churros for the kids! Super nice of them. This experience was definitely a 9/10 for me. I would probably just skip the birria tacos next time, personally.

They had interesting taco variations but I like my tacos more traditional & double wrapped. Mesquite was recommended to me by a friend so I hoped it would be amazing. The tacos were decent but nothing to write home about. They have a nice little tequila bar inside with a good happy hour crowd so if you're in the neighborhood it's worth a stop for a drink & a bite. That's it.

Great for a group, especially with kids but also good for adults. The only downfall is you have to purchase food as takeout including drinks. Same prices but diff service but it's expected I guess.

Great location, clean enough space with themed decor. Inside looks great and fun, except there's…read morenever anyone in the place - which isn't a great sign. Empanada tasted and smelled like the beef was old. It was primarily filled with air and the pastry was far too brown. We also ordered a burrito bowl with chicken, which was the furthest thing from white meat. The chicken meat is small crumbs of dry, VERY dark meat with seasoning - can't even be called chunks or pieces, it's chicken crumbs. Pico tastes good but the tomatoes were nearly white and there was just a sprinkling of it on the bowl anyway. Same for the lettuce and rice - they were just filler, not tasty at all. Guac was great, however the chips were way too thick and burnt. Service was fine enough, but I ordered takeout and then sat while my food was cooked and no one really went out of their way to say anything to the one customer in the place. I felt that more attention could've been paid to service and quality food prep seeing as how they were very clearly not busy. Not the best, not the worst. Doesn't warrant another visit for sure.

Funchos is such a hidden gem! The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts of the experience. They…read morehave both indoor and outdoor seating--the inside has a cozy, modern vibe with fun décor, while the outdoor patio is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal on a nice day. Both spaces are inviting and make you want to stay awhile. And the staff was super attentive. I ordered the Burried Burrito, and it was incredible. It came completely smothered in melted cheese, green salsa, crema, queso fresco, fresh cilantro, and fresh jalapeños. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the burrito itself was stuffed with delicious, perfectly seasoned ingredients. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Mexican food in a great atmosphere, Funchos is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!

The restaurant is more of a walk-up spot, which you can choose to eat there or take out. There's no wait staff. For lunch, we started with the guacamole, which was nice and fresh and had a nice kick. We then split a steak chimichanga and chicken taco bowl. Both were delicious, and honestly, the chimichanga was one of the best I've ever had. As a heads up, this place is CASH ONLY, so make sure you're prepared. Enjoy!

We ordered chips & quac to start. There was an abundance of chips and the quac is made with lime so it's nice and zesty. They offered a hot sauce and a salsa verde in the little cups & they complimented the food nicely. Watch out for the hot sauce-- it's SPICY. I almost lost my taste buds before the food came bc it was so good. I had a shrimp burrito that was massive! I ended up fishing the shrimps out with a fork towards the end; I couldn't muscle it but I also couldn't stop eating. It came with a side of more chips. My husband had a chicken quesadilla & taco combo that came with refried beans topped with cheese, rice & a salad. Super filling & delicious! I dipped the chips in the beans and loved it. As we ate the phone rang off the hook. They probably do insane take out since it's a little place with only about 6 tables. It was reassuring that the food is super fresh! Deff a solid option out here where places don't seem to open until 12pm.
