“I’ve go at least twice a month. I’ve always received good service and good portions. The chicken nachos are amazing and very affordable. It’s a huge portion so you can probably share to save some money. I’ve seen reviews about slow service and out of stock food, but I’ve never experienced that. Also all restaurants deal with running out of random ingredients and it’s impossible to always give 100% service 24/7 in such a busy environment. Go here instead of Applebees or Chilis.“
“I have eaten at many a Tacobell. From Buffalo, New York to Albany NY. Small town, NH to Ft. Lauderdale Florida - I have consumed tacos and Mexicanish food from Tacbell establishments.I must declare my sincerest admiration to the staff and food from the Tacobell in Glenmont.1. The man running the window was fast, efficient, and welcoming. He listened to our order carefully and stood on business.2. Our order was exactly correct. We had a few substitutions (no sour cream for my items - sour cream is for the devil) and everything came as expected.I also noticed the window gentleman ask the staff, “is everything in there?” whilst looking into our bag to confirm that our order was complete and ready to be served. Let me tell you, as someone who has had a botched order from EVERY OTHER Tacobell I’ve ever eaten at, this filled my heart with joy and gave me a rush of endorphins. Knowing a stranger cared about the quality and correctness of my order in 2024 made me feel like the one true king.- the food was good and served its purpose. It’s Tacobell, it’s no fancy dinner like Olive Garden ;)10/10 would come again.10/10 would recommend anyone in the capital region looking for an affordable, reliable, great night out on the town.“

“We were there last night for a friend’s birthday. Place was packed but we had a reservation and were seated quick. Apps, entrees and desserts were all delicious and huge servings. The pineapple tropical margarita was so tasty! Our server Dayana was very sweet and attentive. She made my friend’s birthday very special. We will definitely be going back!“
“Food is so good! Staff are warm and helpful. It's great for take out and on site eating happens largely outside. Summer has open tables and during winter there are domes set up over them with added heating. Makes for a cool outside sheltered experience. Again, food is so good!“
“Margarita offers a lively blend of Mexican cuisine and vibrant music, creating an unforgettable dining experience. The menu boasts delicious dishes bursting with authentic flavors. However, the drink selection falls short, lacking more flavor and sweetness. Despite this, Margarita City is a standout destination for a memorable culinary and musical journey. Lizeth and Carlos made our experience more pleasant by their attention and service.“

“Stopped by on a trip to RPI. Happy I did!Birria quesadilla was absolutely amazing. So delicious and the meat was tender to the point of melting in my mouth like butter.I also grabbed a few chicken tacos. Likewise fantastic.Food took a while to come out, but it was piping hot and fresh. Sauces brought out were icing on the proverbial cake.The only problem I have is that I don’t live nearby! I’d be a frequent customer!“
“The HYPE IS REAL!! These tacos are phenomenal! Fresh and flavorful ingredients, I had the jerk chicken and beef tacos with the sweet and spicy sauce they make in house and it’s AMAZING! 100% I’ll be eating from this place again in the near future, service was top notch “
“I had a great Valentine’s Day meal at Ama Cocina. It is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Albany in my opinion. I recommend getting the pitcher of margarita for the table. You can choose between a few different kinds, we decided to go with the strawberry. The pitcher came with free chips and salsa as well, which I think is a great idea. Between the two of us we both had four margaritas and had to get an Uber home but it was such a great time!Our waitress brought over a new glass with ice and sugar rims every time we went through a margarita. I was very impressed with the service and the attention to detail we received from the staff. The guacamole and queso was delicious and I would definitely get it again when I go back. The tacos were all good but I have to admit the barbacoa was my favorite one. It had a great flavor to it that I never had before. I can’t wait to go back. Thanks!Vegetarian options: Large selection if you don’t eat meatParking: Paid parking lot across the street. $4 for two hours. Also street parking is available if you want to try your luck.Kid-friendliness: Yes bring the kidsWheelchair accessibility: Beware there are steps“
“I was sceptical of the combination of food options but they pull it off. The food was excellent and the service was great as well. Ordered a variety of food for a takeout dinner and everything from the quesadillas to the Nutella calzone was delicious!“
“I visited with a friend for a casual dinner. We were seated and our waitress came over to attend to our drink needs and asked if we had visited before (we both had). Our food came out quickly-my friend got the fajitas and I got the chimichanga although I realized after it wasn't fried after I had already eaten some (still tasted good that's why I didn't notice initially). This is my second experience there with some type of kitchen error. I had been there a few months earlier and our tres leches cake had somehow “missed its soak”, ummm that's what tres leches is so I think their kitchen needs to be a little more attentive. Our waitress sort of disappeared after that. I did have to ask for a drink refill and we decided to get a dessert when she came over which were some churros. It took 35 minutes to get us our churros. They were tasty but there was no apology or reasoning for it taking so long. Overall a great meal just needs a little work on the service end.“
“I want to express to you that it has been a pleasure for me to have met and enjoyed @MexCocina on my trip to Troy. I am Mexican, born in Sonora and with the fortune of having been raised in different cities in different states of my country (in addition to Sonora, Durango, Sinaloa, Baja California, Oaxaca, Jalisco, Veracruz, Mexico City and Nuevo Leon). Each dish from Mexico is a range of flavors and colors, to the point that if there is one thing clear to me, it is that we have a lifetime to delight our palate. @EmilyMartinez, #EmilyMartinez I generally do not use social networks, however, upon reading your comment, I thought it prudent, with all due respect, to tell you that I do not know, even in Mexico, a Mexican person who can say that they have the privilege of knowing the total of seasonings of our food. Pozole from Guerrero, Veracruz, Mexico City and Sonora are dishes with the same name, but with completely different flavors and presentations. I invite you to give your palate the opportunity to try with total openness those variants of gastronomy that the @MexCocina menu has, and from what I saw, it is clear what I talked about at the beginning. THANK YOU @MexCocina for daring to surprise your guests with those variants that exist in the various regions of Mexico. That is not something common and it actually surprised me very favorably.“
“All of the food was very very good but the asada fries were above and beyond, I will remember those fries for the rest of my life. Portions are large, especially for the price but flavor does not suffer. The drinks are even big, if you get a lemonade they bring you a mini pitcher with a straw. Everyone was super friendly. There's a few tables inside, a couple outside, and a bar you can sit at. But for real, get those asada fries.“
“Everything is spot on here! I’ve never had a bad meal here, everything is always sooo good! The salsa is perfectttt!! I love the grilled chicken quesadilla..the chicken is always so flavorful & the cheese is actually melted! I’ve tried out other Mexican spots and their quesadillas don’t compare to yours! It’s such a nice calm vibe in there, quiet & family oriented! Will definitely be back soon! Will chose this location over the Clifton park location any day!!! So much better“
“The food is amazing. Most authentic Mexican food in the area. Recently went to Tipsy Taco in Latham but the food here is way better. Funny how the common denominator of what I ordered is churros and this place has it perfect. Ate it before we could take pictures.Would come back again. 100%Kid-friendliness: They were nice to our 4 year old.“
“Our family loves Los Panchos! The complimentary chips and salsa could be my meal alone. So good! My daughter gets the Panchos Fiesta and it’s so flavorful without being spicy. Mi esposa enjoys different dishes, but tonight the Pollo Fundido. I’m, wow! Delicioso! I keep getting the Birria Tacos, but I’ve to try something different next time. Our picky eater 7 year old loves their mac and cheese, but said the cheese pizza was a 10/10! We always get a half pitcher house margaritas and it’s a perfect family dinner! Trust. So many leftovers too! ??“
“A funky little Bodega that my son introduced me to. Given the location and that it is current in the back of a Mexican goods store in downtown Albany, I was totally and very pleasantly surprised by the excellent food: I had the chicken in mole sauce. Very authentic! And delish! And the service was very pleasant. Overall, well worth the trip!“
“My wife and I had a great meal at this restaurant. 2 Modello’s, a sangria, Enchilada Bandera and Pollo a la Mexicana. Service was fantastic. It was very fast. The enchilada was ok but needed more heat, in my humble opinion. The waiter brought their house sauce and that was the kick that the meal needed. The Pollo a la Mexicana had Jalapeño but was missing a little something. The house sauce added the necessary punch. Overall, a great experience.“
“Love it here. Great, fresh food. Service is quick, friendly and mostly competent. Great margaritas, etc. My go to dish is the veal castellana!! Give it a try but definitely cone here. I don't like Mexican food yet I still love coming here. Only one I'll eat at!!“
“Very nice little spot. Service is prompt and friendly, My dining companion and I each had a quesadilla dish, and we started out with chips and their excellent out of this world salsa. My friend and I stayed a bit ling because we had a lot of catching up to do, and we didn't at all feel rushed, we never felt we were being pushed out. I highly recommend this little goldmine.“
“Came for dinner. Food was good and came out pretty quick. Overall good experience. I recommend the chicken or steak fajitas. You will definitely not be disappointed afterwards. If you have kids that are picky, you may find difficulty in finding something that they would like to eat.Parking: Large private parking lot, but it’s not paved so beware if you come during times of inclement weather you may see flooding.“
“Ordered a Hibatchi steak and shrimp burrito yesterday and it was so damn good I ordered 2 different kinds for me and my wife tonight...awesome flavor, arrived piping hot, everything was correct and they have a customer interaction survey to Guage their performance....well done over “
“I come here very often to the point where the waitress Maria sees me and my fiance and smiles and greets us. The waitstaff are super friendly and attentive. The lights are nice and dimmed, and the whole atmosphere is very warm and inviting. The food is absolutely wonderful and flavorful. I love everything I've tried here. Absolutely worth a try as their prices are more than reasonable.“
“AMAZING oxacan cuisine. Amazing green green salsa and thicker tortilla chips . It's very spicy with lots of flavor. We had chicken mole y chicken quesadilla. FANTASTICO . great Mexican flavors . Rich mole que ricoooooo. Will definitely come again. Waitress was beyond nice and inviting. Good quality togo containers, too, for the large portions. The coffee is very unique and has chocolate taste. For the price, you get a LOT OF FOOD . Great munchies for later. Rice and beans cooked perfecto. I didn't even get a picture because we ate it up so quickly. I would say the quesadilla is more on a drier side, but it didn't bother me, really. It still had good seasoning and flavor. I also got corn tortilla, but you can get flour. Very fresh ! Looked homemade. The chicken was beyond tender for the mole. Stewed just enough to stay on the bone but literally fell apart with the touch of the fork. I'm so glad an amazing Mexican place took over the Troy kitchen spot. It's a well-deserved restaurant for how amazing Troy Kitchen was. The only thing was it was a bit cold, and the lighting was dimmer, but they also just opened it. It really doesn't bother me that much bc the food was just 10/10. The decorations are very traditional, and the napkins are folded cutesy into triangles. A lot of love is put into the whole restaurant, and you can tell. It literally made my morning to walk in at 10 am and get delicious oxacan. I do wanna say if you are not used to more authentic Mexican, you might be very surprised what you get . This way, it is more traditional and not Mexican American.“
“The food is good here! I asked for a spicier salsa and they delivered. The server was also very friendly and the place was a nice vibe. The inside is colorful and they have different artists painted on the walls, although idk how I feel about Pitbull’s portrait lolOverall a good spot to eat at“
“Very good customer service. We did not dine in but we waited inside for food. I was able to ask question of the young cashier and she was able to understand my questions and make recommendations on food. I even tried this condensed milk drink I saw other customers having. It was great. We will be back.“
“Visiting from out of town and was craving some Mexican food. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The salsa was the best we’ve had in awhile!We ordered the chicken fajitas and the enchillas verdes. Our food came out fast, maybe within 5 minutes? We were surprised!The music wasn’t too loud and I was taken away by the cool architecture/design of the restaurant.They do already add gratuity on the check, so make sure to not overtip (unless you’re into that).“
“My first time visiting River Street market. it was really cool. my friend and I opted to sample a little bit from a few of the different food spots. Taco Libre was our favorite! We went toward the end of the night and they were sold out of pretty much everything- which is a bad for us for a green flag for great food. We got the chicken tacos, they were awesome, like an authentic Mexican street taco, my one suggestion would be asking for double tortilla, all ended up ripping apart but still so juicy and delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try more.“
“i placed a pickup order… for the wrong location. when i went in to grab my order, the staff immediately recognized my error, told me how to get a refund, and started my order up for me! i was in and out in 5 minutes and had my refund almost immediately via the customer service chat.the staff was super friendly, and clearly seemed like a really close knit team, and i appreciated their quickness and kindness in light of my stupid mistake!“
