New Taqueria Opens In Deer Park

DEER PARK, NY - A new restaurant recently opened in Deer Park.

Right Coast Taqueria officially opened its doors on 516 Commack Road on May 21. The eatery is owned by Long Island natives Dave Preisler and Rich Zoob.

"You’re probably wondering 'what do two guys from Long Island know about a Taqueria?,'" a message on the restaurant's website reads.

The two men met while working together at an Irish themed restaurant which is where their "love of the Spanish culture around food and sharing began."

"You see, when you’re working side by side with your kitchen team, you become not only friends but family," the two wrote.

Over the years friends would share family recipes, bring in leftovers, or take turns making lunch for Preisler and Zoob. The food included mainly a mix of Spanish, Mexican and Central American cooking.

Eventually the two friends took different paths but kept in touch and never forgot their love of food and friendship with the crew.

So one day, the two decided to go for it and open their own Taqueria.

"A place for everyone to share in what we have tasted and grown to love. A place where our passion for the business, the hospitality in our hearts, and our love of the food and flavors could be shared every day," the duo wrote.

Right Coast offers tacos, quesadillas, burritos, bowls, salads and pupusa; a traditional Salvadorian dish.

The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays.
