Besito - Huntingtonbrunch at besitoWe had been meaning to go to this restaurant for some time, but somehow we never did go. It always seemed to be packed whenever we walked by.
Now we know why.
The food is excellent, the service is exceptional and the ambiance terrific.
It is not cheap, but you get your money's worth.
We had the signature Margarita's to start, the guacamole and ceviche. The guacamole is prepared at the table, so you know it is fresh.
I had the fish boudin, a kind of pie, and my wife had pork and pineapple tacos. We finished with tres leches and coffee.
It was a memorable meal5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMlove besito in huntington village!This is one of my favorite restaurants in huntington village!

The food, service, and excellent bar selections are some of the perks of dining here. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, and very patient with our food order. The skirt steak tacos were cooked perfectly and the tres leches was delectable. I try to recommend Besito whenever possible!!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMNever dissapointed here!!I've been coming to Besito for about 4 years now. Every single time you go there whether it's a quiet winter night or busy Cinco de Mayo the service and food is phenomenal! This particular night was very special. I invited several friends for a gathering. I knew that Besito would be a great choice that would impress my friends. Our waitress was wonderful. She was very descriptive about the menu and specials and patient with the new guests. The food is always so fresh and flavorful. The only complaint I have is that it's becoming so popular you have to make your reservations early in the week!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent Mexican!This place is unbelievable! Great food and amazing service!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service, great foodGreat service, great food and great ambience. Loved it!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was our first time at BesitoIt was our first time at Besito and everything was delicious...from the house margaritas to the guacomole, salmon and mahi entrees, and perfect berry dessert. We also loved that we weren't rushed at all. Our server, Kaitlin, allowed us time to talk and digest between courses. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely be back again!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMoutstanding!always a pleasurable dining experience. One of my families favorite restaurants.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat placeI love Besito, everything is good, i'm not a fan of tequila and even their margaritas are to die for. Is it loud? yes. but it's worth it for the food and service. Make a reservation if you plan on going a friday or saturday night!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAs Usual...Outstanding!!My wife and I have been there so many times and every single time it's fantastic. This is by far our favorite place to eat on long island. Drinks are outrageous and the food is superb! Our waiter Joseph was very knowledgeable about the menu and tequila and his service was terrific. We also love how the managers come to your table multiple times and ask if you are ok. Makes us feel important lol. Cant wait to go back once again.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMBellisimo Besitos!We LOVE Besitos, the food is amazing!
The staff very attentive!
Truly enjoyed!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat as always but...One of my favorite restaurants around, but disappointed that you keep cutting the churros shorter and shorter! I was there 2 weeks ago and they were half size. Last night they were 1/3 size. I hope they aren't headed towards churro tots! Maybe it was just for restaurant week. Food is fantastic, as always. Still bummed that my formerly favorite dish was changed from barramundi to mahi mahi- the barramundi was sooooo much better than the mahi mahi! I really wish you would switch it back. I don't order it anymore, but everything I order is always super yummy!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMDeliciousStaff was great...had perfect recommendations. We had a vegan and a vegetarian dining with us and there were more than accommodating. The vegetarian chili relleno dish was amazing....and you MUST get the table side guacamole...it is a necessity. I've been there before and I will absolutely be back...it's worth the money.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved it!Besito definitely has two repeat customers! After an excellent dining experience as part of the Long Island Restaurant Week, the fiance and I can't wait to return and bring friends along with us! Our server was amazing, very knowledgeable and attentive without crowding, the Besito Margarita was divine and the food was heavenly! I absolutely recommend the queso fundido and enchiladas suizas - the fiance had fun with his mixtos create your own taco type dish. Desserts were tasty, but at that point I was a bit stuffed from the previous courses. Overall - Everything was delicious!5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMBesito ShinesThe food is fantastic and plentiful. The wait staff very friendly. The only negative is the noise level.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent experienceThis place is the best!!! Love the food, everything is plated so beautifully and the food is always so fresh! There's literally nothing bad on the menu. Definitely reccomend for anyone looking for a great experience and a great meal.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMI have never had a bad experienceI have never had a bad experience at Besito.

The service was A+++!4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything about Besito is tops!The food is delicious, the service is excellent, the Margaritas are the best I've ever had, and the ambiance is lovely. Standouts include the guacamole prepared fresh at your table, the crabmeat appetizer and the desserts - YUM! The only negative is the noise level, hard to carry on a conversation with more than two people. Other than that, this place is a gem!!
During Restaurant Week they offer their FULL regular menu unlike so many other restaurants that offer very limited choices.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreatGreat service with fantastic food ... Guacamole to die for made table side and tortilla soup is must have. I can't wait to go back !!!4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMI have yet to be disappointed!!I have yet to be disappointed!! Guacamole and budin de mariscos are my FAVORITES!!4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMA gem in HuntingtonThis was our 3rd time at this restaurant and it has become one of our top 5 favorite places to dine. Our first time was OK as we really couldn't understand everything the waiter was saying so we kind of winged it but the last two times we had Joe as our waiter who was a pleasure to have as our server. He was extremely passionate about the food and made everything sound so delicious and you wanted to try everything on the menu. He did tell us he was leaving in a few weeks and no longer will be working there so I do hope we find another waiter with the same passion as he had so that we will continue to have more positive experiences there.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMDefinitely go for the guacamoleDefinitely go for the guacamole that they make in front of you, it is amazing. Lunch-wise it's like a 3/5, dinner 4/54/27/2013 12:00:00 AMBesito: Can't Get any better!!!!A great menu. Homemade guacamole that can't be beat as well as lots of chips for their out of this world salsa. No one leaves there hungry. In fact, you might need to take it home to enjoy it for lunch the next day.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food! Love fresh guacamoleGreat food! Love fresh guacamole made table side. Wait staff didnt rush us out, so we could make a night of it.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food and good music ifGood food and good music if you enjoy listening to Spanish music like I do. But regardless, food is really good4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was moderate portionsFood was moderate portions but very filling. A crazy drink menu and being in management in retail customer service is always something I look for and it was great. Great wait staff, managers were on the floor but not annoying asking you how you food was every 3 secs. First time there and definitely won't be my last. If going ask for Chris. Made great suggestions, knew the bar list and menu perfectly. Made you feel valuable and important. Honestly not 1 complaint.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMBest guacamole around! BesitoBest guacamole around! Besito Margaritas are a must! #1 Mexican restaurant on LI!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways recommend...Since opening, this has become our go-to restaurant. As the size of Churro they give you at the end has declined from 1 whole Churro per person to a 1/3 of a Churro per person now, we have never walked out disappointed. The tequila menu is fantastic and there are some great options and values (if you are familiar w/ typical bottle costs). The Guac is always amazing to the last bite. Fish is always fresh and tasty. Vegetable dishes & sides also always done properly. As we have started to eat more healthy (less meat and dairy) - we have been able to continue enjoying Besito. Always a recommendation.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect atmosphere to celebratePerfect atmosphere to celebrate the end of a work week!4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMWas going to a concert atWas going to a concert at the Paramount and stopped here for dinner and was not disappointed.

The staff is always great.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMFinally tried besito all theFinally tried besito all the reviews I had read about it were good, and it was. Of course we had the guacamole I had the carnitas all the food was very good. What struck me the most though was that all the employees seemed to be happy to be there they were all smiling and friendly, I really liked that. At the end of the meal we were given some churros I ate one there and took one home, even later it was
crispy and not greasy i really enjoyed that and they give you a little worry doll as well. They were small touches that made a great meal even more enjoyable. So great food and drink, fun atmosphere, happy friendly employees and good prices, what's not to like!!!!3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome restaurant. FoodAwesome restaurant.

The service was very attentive and efficient. Dinner was perfectly presented as described and perfectly prepared.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMBesito loyalistsWe love Besito. We always get excellent service and are treated as valued return customers. The food is always fresh, well prepared and pleasing to the eye and palate. The tequila list and margaritas are unmatched in the area. It's always a little energetic, but not so loud that you cannot have a pleasant table conversation. The decor reminds you of a Mayan retreat and the atmosphere is relaxing. We are happy to call Besito our "local".3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMBesito is a perfect spot forBesito is a perfect spot for inventive, delicious dining and great drinks.3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMFood, service & ambiance isFood, service & ambiance is always great.

They have booth option which adds to romantic atmosphere if so inclined.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe sat in the back and evenWe sat in the back and even on a Wednesday night it was crowded, so the back is a good bet if you are bothered by noise. Sitting by the bar wouldn't be advised if you want to talk to your table! The service was very good and our meal was great.
