   We have been to the other locations in the past. We go to Besitos to celebrate my daughter’s birthday; she loves it. Unfortunately we don’t. The food is just okay; nothing special. The cost factor to portion ratio is overwhelming, and drinks are overpriced and under quantity. We eat out 2-3 times a week so eating out is not our first rodeo. We went there on Sunday, 4/27/25. The sun was out but the temperature was in the 60’s and windy. The temperature inside the restaurant was comparable to the outside. The air conditioning was on full blast! Twice I asked it to be lowered and although it was, it didn’t remain lowered. We never took off our outerwear! I know of other Mexican cuisine restaurants that although remain competitively priced, are portion comparable. We will be taking my daughter there and hopefully she will explore an eating alternative moving forward.

   Friendly and attentive staff. Food was excellent. Only detractor was the music level which made it hard to hear conversation at times. An otherwise great dinner. Will definitely go again.

   Everything about our experience was excellent! The drinks, the guacamole, the appetizer, and the entrees (one which was an off menu special) were absolutely perfect. This restaurant just needs bigger tables because of the food we ordered! 5 starts!

    I have been to both Huntington and West Islip locations and both are very nice , the food is always great, the margaritas are the best and the service is always good. The West Islip location I find is a bit smaller than the Huntington location and can be/get quite loud. So the noise level would be the only negative complaint I have.
