Hideaway

Long Island


True to its name, this festive Mexican cantina is hidden away from the Montauk hubbub at Diamond Cove Marina, which means it's a local favorite. Montaukers don't hold back on the spicy margaritas (habanero peach, jalapeño watermelon, chipotle pineapple), and excellent tacos and enchiladas are a fun meal on the outdoor patio surrounded by docked boats.
