Reviews
Good food and generous portions. Service was great decent, very friendly and they were on top of things if you needed something. The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. Overall, a good experience and I would definitely recommend.
Great find on our drive here from Boston. One of the best guacs I've ever had. Generously flavored and appreciated the subtle serrano pepper. The tacos al pastor and tacos campechanos were SO GOOD. I inhaled them. Staff were great. Outdoor seating was perfect on this beautiful sunny day.
Visited on a Sunday afternoon with a large party and was seated right away. Waiter was extremely attentive. I ordered the chicken enchilada which was very tasty and well portioned. Complimentary chips and salsa for the table. Others ordered the baby back ribs which fell off the bone and packed with flavor. Great service. Great food. Will def visit again.
My favorite restaurant in the Wappingers Falls area. Amazing food and nice cocktails. The tacos are incredible! My favorite are the Quesabirria De Res. My friends and I have sampled many of the entrees and enjoyed the delicious diversity of flavorful menu options. If you are ever here when the empanadas are on special. I highly recommend them! We like to eat outside when the weather is nice.
Great food, nice ambience. We were there on a Sunday evening. Not crowded. Service was very prompt and friendly. Will go there again.
