THE TIPSY TACO
Formerly the Social Gastropub, the Tipsy Taco offers a wide range of Mexican street dishes.
The menu includes carnitas, fajitas, quesadillas, Mexican street corn, tequila lime shrimp, and loaded fries with cheese, scallions, onions, sour cream, guacamole and jalapeño peppers ($4-$10). The $5 burritos and rice bowls make this restaurant an affordable and flavorful addition to Old Bethpage’s food scene.
Owners Jeremy Rosen and Robert Phillips, opened the restaurant in September after deciding to make their business more family and on-the-go friendly, a stark contrast to the Social Gastropub’s decadent dishes. The Tipsy Taco is open Monday through Saturday, offering both dine-in and curbside pickup.
