    Potatoes with Chorizo Flauta
    Gia O.

    Love this place - everything is really good - I especially love their birria tacos and the la gringa Hawaiiana. The al pastor tacos are also a favorite. They also have a bunch of salsas available - just ask! The woman who works there always has the biggest smile on her face; she seems really sweet. There's plenty of parking available and I feel like they're one of the few places that actually give an accurate depiction of how long it'll take for your food to be ready.

    Beef rib, carnitas, Al pastor Street tacos
    Tom G.

    Came here a bit late on a Monday night for dinner. My friends had been telling me how good this place is for quite awhile, so when the taco cravings kicked in Taco El Chingon answered the call. The place might be a little on the small side but don't let that fool you, this place is packed with plenty of flavor. The interior is trendy and clean, a couple of places to sit if you feel inclined to stay awhile, but you can take out just as easily too. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for service, the woman behind the counter was sweet as could be and had no problem serving us even though we came in so late. Food also came out quick. Food was excellent and dare I say some of the best tacos I've ever had! We had the chips and guac to start and everything was as fresh as could be. The tacos we got were the carnitas, the chicken, beef rib, the Al pastor, and the carne asada. It's hard to pick just one favorite, but if you're only having one taco (like some sort of crazy person) my pick is on the carnitas. Perfectly juicy and flavorful. And let me tell you, they don't shy away from stuffing these tacos full, you get every last penny worth. Honorable mention to the chicken, a lot of places just phone their chicken in, but their chicken is actually good and flavorful! They have such a vast menu of a dozen other options at least that I want to try that will keep me coming back for more. Parking can be a little tight in the shared lot when it's busy, but there is also some side street parking available too if you don't mind a little extra walk.

    Burrito Loco (Arrachera)

    Came in for a quick lunch after softball practice. It is located in a small strip mall in Bellmore, NY Ambience: as others have noted, it is a small cozy taco shop. It is the size and layout of a Chinese takeout, but they put some effort into the decor. Food: we ordered Tacos Al Pastor - well seasoned pork with bits of pineapple. 4/5 Tacos Arrachera (skirt steak) - flavorful, but a little tough and chewy. 3/5 Chicken Burrito - this was one big burrito! 4/5 TL/DR: fresh authentic Mexican tacos, large portions, friendly staff, what more can I say?

    Just moved to Wantagh from Long Beach, which is a Mexican food desert. El Chingon is still the best on the South Shore. Even better since the remodel. Very quaint and clean. Maybe 10 tables with counter service. The ladies who work there are friendly and efficient. Now it's a 3 minute drive.

    My go to! Always fresh juicy tacos and the flavor is perfect ! The guacamole is also rich , most a authentic Mexican tacos places make it more watery ! Shrimp tacos are my favorite

    I love the vibes of this place, from the festive environment to the very friendly staff. Not sure…read moreabout the story behind it, but it feels like a family operation and who doesn't love that? I came here with my father and cousin on a Saturday night and the place was pleasantly busy, but we were able to find parking and a table. I don't like to say "plenty of tables" to indicate it was empty. We got there super early, like 6pm and by the time we left, it was busier. I'd eaten a late lunch and wasn't particularly hungry, so I just ordered some tableside guac. My cousin can't handle spice at all (annoying. I say this with love. She's 22 so she has time to grow into it), so when asked about spice level, I sadly replied the dreaded "mild." You know what? It was still really freaking good. I suspect quality ingredients are at play. I also had a glass or two of white wine and these are generous pours, friends. The menu is priced extremely fairly in these tough times. There's not many vegan options on the menu (plenty of vegetarian) however I'm pretty sure I can cobble something decent together when I return. And I say that with certainty because my father had been here only two weeks prior and couldn't stop talking about the tortilla soup, which ordered and devoured again. He's not easy to please either. Glad to have another restaurant on our roster because we eat out a lot!

    This place is one of our favorites. Fiancé is Salvadoran (and a tough critic), but he loves it too…read more The nacho machos are amazing!!! My go to dish! The Oaxaca cheese is the best. Tacos, rice and beans are also delicious!

    the answer is yes, try it!!!!…read more A nice pleasant surprise. I saw the photos and new I needed to try it. The food actually taste as good as the photos look. I can always appreciate a fresh, moderately priced casual eatery. The place is very casual and designed as more of a takeout spot. I had the nachos and a crunch wrap... woah! I split both with bae we didn't need both, he was stuffed and I took my crunch wrap to go. well, when I heated it the next day, it wasn't bad. The shrimp and steak were cooked well and I salvaged every bite, lol. If you're thinking about it and need a quick filling meal, I recommend!

    I was lucky enough to win a giftcard to this place and am so glad I ordered this meal for my mom's…read morebirthday. The portions and food were so fresh and amazing. The price cannot be beat especially considering the quality. We ordered the catering 10 birria tacos, the grande nachos, the fajita taco family meal for 5, a grande chicken quesadilla, and chips and different dips. All was amazing. But a few things were forgotten. These things happen. But the manager went above and beyond to remedy the situation even sending a half tray of churros as an apology which was unnecessary but very generous (and they were excellent.) You cannot beat the value, quality, and taste. Order Ole Fajitas for your next take out night!
