Really wonderful addition to this neighborhood incredible ambience probably the nicest setting of any restaurant in Rockaway for this kind of vibe. The food was really great and had an interesting diverse menu which I felt met a wide variety of tastes. I think I gotta go back and try the Chito flavored chicken, which isn’t something I would normally do but the fish tacos were excellent. Definitely look forward to going back and it is just a great little escape in this area.

I went to Sal Y Lima today with my son and daughter, and I’m still thinking about how incredible everything was. We ordered the street corn and guac with chips to start, absolutely amazing! My son got the chicken burrito, my daughter had the chicken taco and the bulgogi taco, I had the shrimp tacos, and we brought cod tacos home for my father. I kid you not, every single thing was to die for. Usually, even at good restaurants, there’s at least one item that’s just “okay.” Not here. Everything was just delicious!!! And the atmosphere? Such a vibe. The owner personally greets customers, which makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I gain nothing by writing this. I just genuinely can’t rave enough about this place. It’s officially my go-to taco spot in Rockaway!

We love this place and have been here on multiple occasions. They always have delicious frozen drinks with different flavors. I had the orange margarita tonight. It was delicious. My favorite taco is the Seoul Surfer. The bulgogi is so moist and tender. The Cesar salad is super fresh and tasty. Get it with the avocado. You won’t be disappointed. They have a really cool appetizer Tres Amigos. It’s tortilla chips with three different sauces. All so tasty. The yuca fries are really good too. 😋

★★★★★ 5.0 Tiff Da Gift · Jul 2025

The atmosphere is nice and chill The shrimp tacos need more flavor The green salad isn't what we expect. It was literally chopped romaine dressing and a grilled chicken, which is additional. The cocktails are amazing. It's not a type of restaurant to stuff yourself more, so just to talk and catch up on some lost time with friends and nip on finger food. The staff are very attentive and communicative. I will revisit later on to see if the menu changes since it's a new restaurant. It's nice to have something like this in the rockaways.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Alexandria Fernandes · Nov 2025

I had really been looking forward to trying this place for a while watching as it was “coming soon”, etc. Unfortunately, The negative tone was set from the moment we walked in. I actually had to say Hi to the hostess first, and her only response was, "Do you have a reservation?" No hello or greeting, (It was 5:30 p.m. and the restaurant wasn't overly crowded.) I politely explained that I didn't and that I had even looked and didn’t see any option or link on their website to make one. She made an eye roll kind of face and replied, "Yes, there is on the website — and on our social media." Note: As of right now, there is no link, no clear direction, or mention of exactly how to make a reservation anywhere online or the IG, they are not on Resy etc either, so it is not clear and the combative
