    One thing I miss about living on Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap locations, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while. After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected. However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper, but it looks like my search for a Tex-Mex restaurant in Long Island will continue.

    Used to come here all the time in high school & college. They have always had delicious food at very good prices. Took a trip down memory lane & went there today, not a thing has changed, down to the same woman at the counter! She's always very friendly. Went with a steak rice platter which came with enough food that I was able to bring home leftovers for later! The food comes out quicker now than I remember back when I went regularly, almost within a couple of minutes even during a lunch rush. I didn't get a picture but they also have cheesecake slices if you want a dessert with your food!

    Your generic taco place, seating was nice and service was quick. Chips and salsa might have been the best part.

    More of a Tex-mex than a Mexican restaurant but still very good. Place is a decent size not crowded for a week day lunch rush. Service was very good. Will dine here again

    The food was amazing here and the orders come out quick. The ambiance of the whole place is very relaxing and it's easy to find parking too. Would come back here again, the guacamole is amazing and I dipped everything with it

    I love ordering from here for lunch. The food truly comes to me fresh and hot. They always listen to what I would like them to include and/or not include in my salad without issue. I typically order tostada salads. The tostada shells are always fresh and flaky - never stale. The meat tastes fresh off the grill and tender. I'm obsessed with the jumbo shrimp! A healthier option for my lunch break than a bunch of fried meals. Will continue to patronize.

    I ordered tacos. And I actually got tacos lol! You want a classic taco? This is definitely a good place to come. Lots of places have tacos but don't have a classic taco that you think of when you think tacos lol! They all have the jazzed up versions of tacos lol! We got two grilled chicken tacos, a shrimp taco, and a shrimp burrito. The tacos were delicious! The burrito was too much and whatever rice they use I don't like. But other than that I'll be back for more tacos!!!! It's got a really large shared parking lot so parking is easy enough to get. The girl at the counter was friendly. I used to come here years ago and they had tables everywhere but I guess now with COVID they limit the dining in or don't get much of it because there are only tables against the wall now. It's decorated like a taco a spot. It's clean which is always a plus for me! They have restrooms but I didn't go in them so can't speak for that. But over all it's a good taco spot!

    Is alright for the flavor. I believe they charge a lot and the flavour could be better. So I am not going to be to harsh.

    Jumbo shrimp, grilled chicken breast and steak on a salad with avocado, cucumbers and tomatoes. Worth the price!

    I was so happy to see a Homemade Taqueria store open in nearby Hempstead. Got a takeout order of…read morechips and guac, chicken burrito with avocado add-on, steak taco and 3 shrimp tacos. Everything was well packaged, with pleasant staff and prompt service. First of all portions are quite generous. Warm chips in a paper bag tasted homemade, and the "small" order of guac I ordered was actually a huge portion and ultra creamy. The chicken burrito was packed with fresh ingredients (although I would have liked more chicken); the $2.00 surcharge for adding hefty avocado slices was well worth it. Soft tacos wrapped in corn tortillas made with large seared shrimp were delicious. I liked that they didn't use too much cojita cheese in the tacos, but plenty of healthy avo. I didn't much care for the spicing of my marinated steak taco, but my partner loved it so no accounting for tastes :) Each item comes with a choice of two sauces so I tried them all. The pico and green sauce were my personal faves, I used them liberally to spice things up. Ordering directly from Homemade Taqueria's website is the most cost effective method, and they offer loyalty points as well. Can't wait to try some different items next time!

The good : Overall food was good, we ordered empanadas (shrimp and beef ) they tasted really good with the accompanied chimichurri sauce . We got our boys skirt steaks with fries and my wife and I had to half chickens and pernil respectively . Their mojitos are really good but unfortunately, they didn't have lemonade (soda ) so we ended up paying. $6 each for kid sized house made lemonade which was kinda a waste as my older didn't like it and I didn't want to bother sending it back . The bad: I am taking off a star because we had to wait a long time to get our check. I had asked for the check and a doggy bag, but had to flag my waiter down again to remind him to bring my check. Apparently the kids eat free special has to be approved by a manager . It felt like we waited 15-20 minutes till we got our check , by that time my kids were extremely irritated and my wife was pissed off. I know it's not the waiters fault but the restaurant wasn't that busy and I can't see why they couldn't have gotten this taken care of earlier . Sadly because of this incident, my wife does not want to come back here anymore knowing it takes forever to check out .
