BEST TACOS on Long Island! I went to High Tide Taco Bar in the heart of Farmingdale the other night to eat dinner with my dad. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted and able to choose our seats. The tables were socially distanced, staff members were wearing masks and everything was spotless. It is clear that they sanitize often, clean meticulously, follow all COVID-19 guidelines, and take all necessary precautions.
We sat by the front window and had a lovely server named Jenna. She was very friendly, attentive, and was able to recommend outstanding choices from the menu. My dad and I shared the guacamole and chips “before tacos” appetizer. The guacamole was fresh, homemade, and savory. We both ordered three tacos each, which is recommended for an entree. The flavors in each taco were perfectly balanced. Each taco was packed with fresh and flavorsome ingredients. They offer more than just tacos though! The menu was quite extensive; offering even vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.
The mango margaritas were exceptional. I thought the tartness from the lime juice, the sweetness from the mango, and the smoothness of the tequila came together well without any single ingredient overwhelming the drink. I can’t wait to go back to try a different flavored margarita from the menu!
During our stay, the owner came to our table to check in on us. We could not stop raving about how good the food, drinks, service, and coastal ambiance was. It was evident and refreshing to see that the owner was committed to providing his customers with an excellent dining experience and a little piece of relaxation and escape in these difficult times. Highly recommend this restaurant for dine-in or take out!
