The weather may have been gloomy, but spirits were high as the staff at Burrito Mariachi in Farmingdale held their grand opening.
The Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce, local legislators and community members all came out to gather for the event, eager to present owner Yxing Liu, who goes by Sam, with citations commending him on the opening of his third Burrito Mariachi location. His other two locations are located in Wantagh and Massapequa.
With service designed for both take-out and dine-in, the extensive menu boasts a meal sure to satisfy every guest. Everything is made fresh to order and is free from preservatives and MSG. Seasonings are house made from scratch each morning.
Burritos can be made in a tortilla or as a bowl, with meat options like chicken, steak, beef, pulled pork and shrimp. Tostadas salad comes served in a crispy tortilla shell and with homemade dressing. Tacos, hard or soft, come with lettuce, tomato and cheese and your choice of beans or meat. Enchiladas also come with all the fixings like rice, beans, lettuce and tomato, before choosing cheese or meat.
Entrees include the chimichanga, loaded with cheese, your choice of meat and served with rice, beans, guacamole, corn, sour cream and pico de gallo; chicken or steak fajitas; and the cayenne shrimp platter, served with rice, mushroom, corn, grilled onion and pepper broccoli.
The menu also has a selection of classic appetizer fare like jalapeño poppers, mozzarella sticks, French fries, chicken fingers and buffalo wings. A $6.99 lunch special is served from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. where guests may choose between a lunch platter, burrito lunch or quesadilla lunch. Each comes with a drink.
For those looking for a real taste bud adventure, the specialty burrito selection is the way to go. The Sam’s Lobster Burrito includes lobster tail, rice, lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, onions and sweet mayo sauce. A sure favorite for just about anyone, the J and C Burrito has a crispy chicken tender, mozzarella sticks, crispy onions, lettuce, cheese and sweet chili sauce. The Spicy K Burrito comes with chicken, spicy mayo, rice, black olive, lettuce, cheese, red onion and cilantro.
