Señor Taco Mexican Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Town of Islip

Update to below Review - In recent months the staff has changed, a change that hasn't been for the better. There are a few "originals" left and if they are working your chances of a good experience are better...If you are looking for a drink and anyone besides Gabbie is behind the bar...run for the hills. If there is a gentleman behind the bar (there is only one) consider a beer on draft instead. He has not been properly trained which is not his fault but you will waste your money. The food here is still good, that has not changed. But the service is hit or miss. The prices are not crazy but certainly not cheep. That being said, I think they can afford to purchase an industrial dish washer and toss the plastic plates, utensils and upgrade from Styrofoam to go containers. Even napkins seem hard to come by here. They are not readily available unless requested and when you ask you are lucky if you get a few for your table. The last time I was there all they had were the small square bar napkins. In short businesses need to start being held responsible for the service they provide especially when there is a moderately high price tag attached to their products. On top of that they should be more conscious of the environment when selecting utensils and to go containers as well as the health of the patrons. The products that they are using will accumulate in landfills and leach into your food, compromising your health. I'd love to bump this place back up to a four or even five star experience but they have some work to do. . . . This place started off as an okay spot for a quick bite and has grown and become so much better. The menu is filled with delicious food at reasonable prices. They have some unique options there that I love and make some killer drinks. They only thing that could make it better is to get rid of the plastic plates and Styrofoam to go containers. Switching to paper straws would also be great but, hey one thing at a time. I just happen to care about the environment, but the...

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner, the girl server/hostess was very sweet and friendly with a very welcome attitude.

When we took a seat at the table, the table was very rocky and kept moving around so it was a bit annoying but it was tolerable. We ordered beef empanadas for appetizer and cheese plantains which we were very surprised by the size potion as it was very small. Although the taste was somewhat okay, didn’t have a lot of flavor.

As for the entrees, my boyfriend ordered beef taco, and I ordered cheese enchiladas, however when the food runner came over to give us our foods, he gave me cheese quesadillas which wasn’t what I asked for so I told him about it politely and he said it was no problem, and called over our server, and he was very nonchalant and had a change of attitude about it and insisted that it was what I asked for when it wasn’t so I asked him very politely if he could send it back and have it be replaced with the right order which he left and didn’t take the other order back.

After about a full 15-20 minutes of waiting, I finally get my food, and it wasn’t good. The rice was hard and crunchy, and the enchilada sauce tasted old, and the food was cold so we decided to leave and get food elsewhere as our meals weren’t pleasant.

The female waitress/hostess gave us our bill and they didn’t take the quesadilla meal off of the receipt when we went over it of being the wrong order. So she takes the bill and brings it up to the male waiter whom came back and spoke to us about it with a rude tone and attitude, and we had to tell him multiple times that it was the wrong order which he finally gave up after a few minutes of arguing and went back and fixed the bill.

I personally wouldn’t recommend coming here as the appetizer portions are extremely small and yet very pricey. The meals weren’t great so I don’t recommend this place, I suggest on looking into an another...

Have been going here for close to 15 years and have always loved their food, especially the Spinach wrap with black beans and their Guacamole is DELICIOUS which is what I normally order. But the guacamole price has gone up about $3 for the same size over the last 3 years, but it seems that most restaurants are price gouging after the SCAM-DEMIC is finally ending. Thank God!!

But the prices have increased SIGNIFICANTLY by about 25-33% over the last 3 years which is pretty "NORMAL" as lots of restaurants took advantage of the PLAN-DEMIC to increase their prices substantially, so I eat there much less often than I used to. Food is still very good and we did celebrate my birthday here on March 5th and everyone enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. But they stopped carrying FLAN which I used to love and I can't understand how an authentic Mexican restaurant doesn't offer FLAN as a dessert????? I don't drink at all so I don't know anything about their mixed drinks as they are all WAY OVERPRICED and VERY EXPENSIVE. But I still enjoy eating there in person especially during the summer months when they set up tables outside and with a lot of plants around so it's nice eating outside when the...
