Sushi, Tacos, and Burgers—Where to Savor Long Island's Most Coveted Grub

Let’s be real: Long Islanders take their food seriously. And why not? With cultural fusion, top-shelf dining, and border-line obsessions with arguing over the best pizza, our dining experience is on point. But when sushi, tacos, and burgers are on the table, you're not looking for "good" — you're on the lookout for **the best.** So, if what you're in the mood for is freshly made sushi, a taco that will revolutionize your taste buds, or a burger that will challenge everything up till this point, then this is your complete and utter guide to **Long Island's best craved foods.

Sushi Places That Will Spoil Grocery Store Rolls for Good

Kotobuki - Hauppauge & Babylon

When a sushi restaurant has been around for **decades** and still requires a reservation on a typical Tuesday, then you know this has got to be the real deal. Kotobuki delivers **some of the best sushi on Long Island**, with fish pieces so silky smooth, they more or less disintegrate on your tongue. The spicy tuna sandwich is legendary, and if you haven't tried their Kamikaze roll, then you're possibly depriving your taste buds of a sensation. **Tip from a pro:** Plan on arriving early. The wait isn't a joke.

Taka Sushi - Westbury

Ever had sushi so freshly made, you'd swear it had been in the water for five minutes ago? That's what you can find from Taka Sushi. This gem of a restaurant is every sushi purist's dream, with pure, traditional flavors of Japan and not a single Instagrammable, over-the-top flourish. Expect flawlessly sliced sashimi, masterfully seasoned rice, and the umami goodness with every single bite, and your eyes closing.

AquaTerra Grill - Rockville Centre

This one's for the **fusion lovers** who want a dash of extra drama with their sushi. Think truffle-filled rolls, sushi on fire, and innovations on traditional Japanese cooking. A spicy, crunchy, and melt-in-your-mouth roll, anyone? AquaTerra's your destination.

Tacos That Appear To Come Right From Heaven

Dirty Taco & Tequila - Wantagh, Woodbury, Rockville Centre

If street tacos and craft cocktails had a love child, Dirty Taco would be its result. It's not even truly even about the tacos, though. It's about **the experience**. The short rib and Thai coconut shrimp ones are **what dreams are made of**, and their house-made tortillas have the perfect chew. Oh, and if you don't down it with one of their specialty margaritas, then you're not even doing it.

Little Mexico - Brentwood

This is where you can find **no-frills, 100%-authentic, better-than-your-abuelita's** (do not tell her we said this) tacos. The birria tacos are spot on, and their homemade salsa will leave your soul on fire for the best. If what you're looking for is a **true taqueria experience**, this is where you're gonna find it.

Street Taco - Huntington

You want trendy and delicious? Street Taco's your spot. The tacos are filled with big, up-your-nose flavors that defy every bland, Americanized taco you've had. Tip: Order the carne asada and don't be shy with the lime.

Burgers That Would be Worthy of a Hall of Fame

All American Hamburger Drive-In - Massapequa

No Long Island burger roster can be complete without **All American**. This **no-frills, throw-back spot** has been churning up **some of the best burgers** since your birth (most likely). The secret: Simplicity. No truffle aioli, no avocado bs—just **beautiful beef cooked, melty cheese, and a bun that doesn't mess up.** It's cheap, it's quick, and it's legendary.

Black Label Burgers - Bay Shore

For those who want a **bougie burger experience**, head on down to Black Label. The burgers are made with **dry-aged, top-shelf beef**, and the topping bar has anything from **basic** to gourmet overload (we're referring, of course, to the infamous foie gras burger). If you're a burger elitist, this joint will not disappoint.

Prime Burger Bar - Commack

If variety's what you're looking for, then **Prime Burger Bar**'s your spot. From **wagyu patties** to **impossible burgers**There's something for every taste bud. The best news of all? The **customization** possibilities are endless. Peanut butter and bacon on your burger, anyone? Yes, please. A classic cheeseburger with their secret homemade sauce, your way? Your taste buds will not be sorry.

 Where Your Next Bite Will Be

Long Island isn't exactly famous for its **phenomenal** grub, but when it comes to sushi, tacos, and hamburgers, you need to know where they're located. If you're hungry for freshly sliced sashimi, tacos with the flavors of a Mexican holiday, or a burger that's the very best of comforting, there's plenty of variety.
