Really good quality Mexican food. Everything you order will be great. I love the corn tortilla tacos. Decent little place if you want to eat there but we do take out.

Came here a bit late on a Monday night for dinner. My friends had been telling me how good this place is for quite awhile, so when the taco cravings kicked in Taco El Chingon answered the call. The place might be a little on the small side but don't let that fool you, this place is packed with plenty of flavor. The interior is trendy and clean, a couple of places to sit if you feel inclined to stay awhile, but you can take out just as easily too. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for service, the woman behind the counter was sweet as could be and had no problem serving us even though we came in so late. Food also came out quick. Food was excellent and dare I say some of the best tacos I've ever had! We had the chips and guac to start and everything was as fresh as could be. The tacos we got were the carnitas, the chicken, beef rib, the Al pastor, and the carne asada. It's hard to pick just one favorite, but if you're only having one taco (like some sort of crazy person) my pick is on the carnitas. Perfectly juicy and flavorful. And let me tell you, they don't shy away from stuffing these tacos full, you get every last penny worth. Honorable mention to the chicken, a lot of places just phone their chicken in, but their chicken is actually good and flavorful! They have such a vast menu of a dozen other options at least that I want to try that will keep me coming back for more. Parking can be a little tight in the shared lot when it's busy, but there is also some side street parking available too if you don't mind a little extra walk.

Whole menu is always available. At 10 AM I am ordering steak tacos! That's a win in my book, because I was afraid they wouldn't have the whole menu so early. Tried the chorizo, chicken taco was extremely good. Guacamole is fire here. I ate an entire bowl. Also got a steak quesadilla for the kids which they devoured and birria for me. I didn't love the birria and consume here but it wasn't bad. Overall it was a great meal. The space is small but just right and cozy.

Just moved to Wantagh from Long Beach, which is a Mexican food desert. El Chingon is still the best on the South Shore. Even better since the remodel. Very quaint and clean. Maybe 10 tables with counter service. The ladies who work there are friendly and efficient. Now it's a 3 minute drive.

Before I had to pleasure to stop by, I was reading some of their reviews, and they were mostly excellent, and I have to agree, as I walked in I was greeted very politely by a nice woman, she explained the items to me on the menu, I took the order to go, and everything was cooked. Exactly the way I wanted it it was prompt, and when I got home, everything was delicious. This is Authentic Street Mexican food,, Plenty of room to sit down, they have a dining room right next to the kitchen, but you do have to water at the counter. The cheese quesadilla was juicy, with a touch of cilantro, made it even better. I also recommend the traditional three birria tacos w/consome dipping sauce, their burrito el chignon w/shirt steak was amazing a meal within itself , The black beans and cheese and spices were so fresh and flavorful, they also have desserts tres leches and Flan,, Hope to try that next time,, but I also recommend you try their authentic homemade style drinks My favorite was Horchata , Very creamy with a touch of caramel, the Jamaican was very good , you can taste the fresh juice, and the tamarin was wonderful,,breakfast platter & burritos are served all day , Very extensive menu, they also have soda waters and kids menu

Best tacos n the island, hands down. Al Pastor street tacos are insanely good. I could eat 20 of em if my stomach didn't stop me. Birria quesadilla is also worth the calories. Don't be turned off by its location, it's a hidden gem!

Came in for a quick lunch after softball practice. It is located in a small strip mall in Bellmore, NY Ambience: as others have noted, it is a small cozy taco shop. It is the size and layout of a Chinese takeout, but they put some effort into the decor. Food: we ordered Tacos Al Pastor - well seasoned pork with bits of pineapple. 4/5 Tacos Arrachera (skirt steak) - flavorful, but a little tough and chewy. 3/5 Chicken Burrito - this was one big burrito! 4/5 TL/DR: fresh authentic Mexican tacos, large portions, friendly staff, what more can I say?

My wife and I decided to go here tonight for a date night without the kiddo. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the food was good overall. My wife ordered a three taco meal and I ordered the hueracha especial. My meal was good, but a bit too salty for my taste, my wife's was perfect Great for take out, small area to eat if you'd like to eat in. I'll be back and try another selection soon, good food!
