Viva Mexico — Restaurant in Town of Islip

Yes, there is a cash only policy. It is on a hand written sign as you walk in. The food is authentic Mexican! Not Chipotle or Chili's or whatever you are served at Applebee's. The food was excellent! Don't be put off by the $20 platters. It is more than enough food for two people. My wife decided to order one of those. It came out on two plates. So, spit one. We had the shrimp tostada for $2.50.

I am glad we stumbled across this little quaint restaurant in the heart...
