Al Pastor, a new taco spot opened up in Merrick recently. They are in the same spot that used to be Giodano’s Gourmet Fish Market on Merrick Road.
Along with a menu of Mexican food like tacos, burritos and quesadillas they are also serving specialty milkshakes.
On Yelp, Brian J, from Bethpage, gave them five stars.
“Excited this place is open, so we stopped to try a few things on their second day of business,” he wrote. “Menu looks like an authentic taqueria you would find in southern Mexico. Everything was tasty and fresh. The birria taco was outstanding. Definitely will be back to try them again.”
Steven B, from Merrick, wasn’t as impressed.
“I'm giving a mixed review because I see some good things with this place,” he wrote. “There are some positives they do well.”
On Google reviews have all been five stars.
“Incredibly delicious food, so happy this opened in my neighborhood,” wrote Chris N. “Will definitely be coming back a ton. So far we have tried a few of the tacos, the nachos, guac, and shrimp quesidilla. Nothing disappointed in terms of flavor, I couldn't get enough of it all. Best part is the chips are fresh and perfectly seasoned, something a ton of places don't get right.”
