Tepache — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

my dining experience at this Authentic Mexican restaurant was!!!! absolutely incredible! The atmosphere was alive with the cool beats of a live DJ, creating an electrifying vibe that set the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Let’s kick start it with the steak quesadillas and the mouthwatering medium rare Chimichanga, Steak rib eye NY that Joseph ordered had me salivating just thinking about them. The steak, cooked to perfection, burst with flavor, taking your taste buds on a tantalizing journey. And let's not forget about those beef empanadas with their secret sauce! i suspect spicy mayo wich adds extra layer of intrigue and excitement to these delectable treats.

Now, let's talk about the drinks. The Bacardi tropical blend rum punch with passion fruit that you recommended is like a sip of paradise. Its delightful and refreshing taste brings out the best in the flavors of the food, creating a harmonious symphony of satisfaction.

But it doesn't stop there! The outside seating area provided a breathtaking backdrop for my dining experience. Immersed in the vibrant scene, with the infectious rhythms of Merengue filling the air, I was transported to the lively streets of the Dominican Republic. It was like stepping into a world of pure magic.

Overall, my dining adventure at the Mexican restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. From the pulsating energy of the atmosphere to the mouthwatering dishes and refreshing drinks, every moment was filled with excitement and delight. It's a memory that will stay with me forever.

First let me say I would give 3½ ⭐'s but Google doesn't give a ½ star option. This was only our 2nd visit in 2 years. We weren't overly impressed the 1st time but to be fair they had just opened and were probably still working some kinks out. Tonight we were in the area and decided to give it another chance. The service while EXTREMELY friendly wasn't overly attentive. I found myself looking for our waitress several times which I couldn't understand since there were only 3 other tables seated. We enjoyed our drinks and food although our tableside guacamole was a little salty for our liking so make sure you specify light or no salt if that's a concern. We also weren't happy that they serve brightly colored red and green tortilla chips ... looks pretty but we don't eat anything with unhealthy food dye so we only ate the undyed chips. For entrees we ordered the enchiladas Rojas and the Roasted cauliflower and poblano fajita. Everything was DELICIOUS! The poblano peppers in the fajita were super mild which was fine since that can't be controlled at all but I really wanted some heat 🔥 so I asked for a little hot sauce ... the sauce I was given although very flavorful was not hot at all either. ☹ *Over all it was mostly a pleasant dining experience and we would definitely go back again and recommend...

I attended an installation dinner here with the Wheeler Avenue School PTA.

Even though I did not eat anything I feel that Tepache deserves 5 stars. Please allow me to explain...

The restaurant itself was warm and cozy. There was ample room for our get together and we were all warmly greeted.

The staff was present...always available, but also provided us with privacy so we could enjoy each other's company.

The folks at both sets of tables were raving about the food. They mentioned it was fresh, delicious and served with generous portions. A few people asked to take home what couldn't be finished.

One member in our party was highly allergic to a typical ingredient. The waiter explained that the dish could easily be made without it...and it was.

Not one person had a complaint about anything. Only rave reviews.

There was a very nice outdoor area tgat we did not use because it had rained earlier in the evening.

Finally, I thought that the owner or manager was very friendly and professional.

I love it when local places go above and beyond to serve their clients well.

If you like fresh Mexican food, this is great place to...
