What Mrew S likes about El Pilon:
Excellent Spanish food, friendly down-to-earth staff, classy mom-and-pop ambience. Crossed the street to dine here after we missed our train by a few minutes and ended up taking it slow and enjoying a nice meal. I had a superb mix of mashed plantain in delicious gravy-like sauce (garlic-styled or creole) with a choice of protein. A unique dish packed with flavor in every bite. Dining partner had the fried fish fillet... View all feedback.

These people are so rude. Not only that but they gouge the price up and give little bit of food on the plate. And food isn't all that,. Bien mal

Service is good. music is excellent fresh food. the owner is humble.atc

Good food and service. Close to the Central Islip train station, so it's easy to get to. You can call ahead and pick up your dinner before going home.
