Owen’s Tacos Syosset — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

I just spent $40 on two birria tacos, two vegetable tacos, and one order of fries—and I couldn’t be more disappointed. The food was absolutely disgusting.

To start, the employee who took our order, Gia, thought it made sense to put both the birria and vegetable tacos in the same container. This is especially careless considering it was clearly an order for two people—one of whom is vegetarian. Why would anyone mix meat and vegetables in one box unless they had zero common sense or just didn’t care? If someone orders veggie tacos, maybe—just maybe—it’s because they don’t eat meat.

The fries were just as bad. They looked like frozen fries you’d get from Costco or BJ’s, microwaved without a second thought. They were undercooked, soggy, completely unsalted, and had no crisp to them at all. And for this, they charged $40? The portions were tiny, the quality was awful, and it’s clear they’re cutting corners anywhere they can.

I was so disappointed that I literally walked back inside and threw everything in their trash can. That’s how inedible it was.

It’s also worth pointing out that Gia seemed more interested in her phone than making sure our order was handled with any kind of care. Maybe if she and the chef in the back paid half as much attention to the food as they did to their screens, they’d have at least asked if the tacos should be packaged separately. But no—they’d rather save a few cents on packaging than treat customers with even basic consideration.

I genuinely do not understand how this place has a 4.6-star rating on Google. The food is bland, careless, and overpriced. Most fast food chains—yes, even Taco Bell—would’ve delivered a better experience. Save your money and your appetite. Skip this...

I even love the name of this place! Went here in its previous incarnation as la taqueria; didn’t grab me. Then I saw the outside change to Owen’s Tacos - what an unusual name that immediately brought a smile to my face! Finally got a chance to stop by - and wished I had come by sooner!

Ordered online through their seamless website process and picked up earlier than expected. I was greeted with a smile and I had to ask: did they have tshirts? “Not yet,” was the reply - and I told them I would wear it if they had. After eating my order, I would wear that tshirt proudly…

Yes, the burrito might look smaller than a local competitor whose name starts with “c” and ends with “hipotle” but don’t be deceived and look closer: this burrito is jam packed and full of good stuff!

Give Owen’s a try - and ask them to start...

My Fiancé l live in Huntington Beach about 15 minutes away from Owen’s Tacos. We decided to try this place and as soon as we arrived we were greeted by the person behind the counter who was very attentive, probably the owner. Any ways, with so many things to chose from we decided to try the steak nachos and hamburger with fries. Let me say that we were very impressed with the service and quality of food. The nachos had good size pierces of steak and the whole plate was delicious. The hamburger you could tell was seasoned inside and it tasted amazing, you will not be disappointed if you like Latin American style hamburgers. We also had the Horchata drink which is a typical Central American grain based sweet water...
