Restaurantji's Poughkeepsie guide: Where to find the ultimate Mexican flavors.
“I used to work in a Spanish neighborhood and would get tacos and authentic food. Tortilleria exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Chile Rellenos. I also got the Mexican cheese in the case on the counter for my chips and it was delicious. You will not be disappointed. So yummyFantastic food“
“I guess we are becoming regulars at this place. Food and service are consistently good. Portions are huge and very affordable prices! Last time we went our son wasn't in the mood for Mexican food but we dragged him anyway and he end up getting chicken wings, and I tell you, oh, my, those chicken wings were great! Very crispy and tasty! We had ordered in the past steak tacos, guacamole (we ask less on onions), different enchiladas, steak. I only didn't like pork tacos.“
“Very clean atmosphere with a nice ambiance and beautiful interior. The wait staff was friendly, prompt, and pleasant. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. A new favorite place for me and my family. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Mexican food.“
“I freaking love this place! It's really good food that's not too pretentious like other places on main. There's a lot of good food in Poughkeepsie and el Azteca is among the best ones.They have a daily special that can really save you some money too. It's a shame they don't sell beer otherwise I would eat here ALL THE TIME!I had the flan!“
“Two words: Pozole and Mole. Go. Try both for a wonderful explosion of flavor. The Pozole was chock full of hominy, pork, cabbage and more with a rich and spicy broth. The chicken mole had a deep rich texture that lingered on the taste buds. Service was excellent and the bill was very reasonable.“
“Best good food quick in the area. Fast real food, that you can eat, have a treat and not regret it the next day or the rest of your life, looking at you Taco Bell, McDonalds, etc.Bubbakko's proves fast food can be real food, that tastes good, is unique, and has a good value for money.Vegetarian options: Don't add meat, it's that simpleParking: Park in the lot, it'a easyKid-friendliness: Kids like food, well this place has great flavors and it's natural. Chips, tacos, stuff kids like and moreWheelchair accessibility: Roll on in and enjoy“
“This place is a real gem! How can so much flavor come from such a small restaurant? I had the namesake Mole Mole chicken with a side of fried plantains. The flavors were amazing, and authentic. It's a small place with interesting decor. They do a lot of takeout, but they also have plenty of seating indoors and out. The service is friendly and attentive. And the food is so good! So, the next time you're thinking of going to one of those big chains, please reconsider and give this real Mexican restaurant a chance. ...and make sure to have a glass of freshly made sangria while you are there!“
“I'm originally from new mexico, I know what good authentic Mexican food taste like. Even though there may be many Mexican restaurants in the area and Beyond, this restaurant is close to home for me. I would definitely recommend the atmosphere inside makes me feel right at home. The beautiful tables the paintings the colors reminded me of home I'm addicted and I can't turn back“
“Service is fast and friendly. Food is excellent and prices are reasonable.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options.Parking: Parking is at storefront—no walking.Kid-friendliness: Great environment for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“This place deserves 5 stars. The staff is super friendly and the food is amazing. They serve mouthwatering authentic Mexican dishes. Their aguas frescas and atole drinks are superb as well. I highly recommend this place, you will not regret it.Starter Suggestions:Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus juice)Horchata (sweet rice milk beverage)Atole - Champurrado (like hot chocolate)Tacos (not the Tex-MEX)Sopes (great breakfast item)Tostadas (crispy corn tortilla with toppings)Tortas (Mexican style sandwich)Tlayudas (Mexican version of a pizza, if you will)Milanesa de pollo (chicken cutlet)“
“So was in the area and saw this place. All I can say is wow, I'll be back. they have fresh Agua Fresca (fruit water). I got chicken torta, chicken/carnitas tacos and a few waters. Everything was really good just think the horchata could be better. Overall food atmosphere and service is great. It is outdoor seating and they even a small garden eating area on the other end of the parking lot. Try them, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.Kid-friendliness: It's outside with tables. I would say that's kid friendly with potted plants surrounding most of the seating.Parking: they have their own parking lot with the entrance on the main st side and looks about 20 spots might be moreWheelchair accessibility: looks like there is a wheelchair ramp to go to the window to order“
“Oh my god. What texture. What an experience. A haven for taco lovers. My boyfriend described it as "homemade Taco Bell" and I couldn't agree more. Just go. Don't wait. They are open until later than now so we may go back.“
“This place is pretty good. It seems that they had a name change. We wanted something to eat that was in the area and this place stood out. We go in and got a seat. It was about 1:30 and the place was empty though people came in and made orders to go. The waitress also seemed to be cooking in The back. The manager was also there to help us pick from their menu. We ordered our drinks and i got an horchata. This horchata was delicious and gigantic. They also brought nacho chips with beans to eat while we wait for our order and they were so good. I got a simple order of steak tacos. The meat was good and tender i do wish that their hot sauces were spicier as i prefer it spicy. We also got a plate of chicken that seems to be fried in a sweet batter. It was tasty but I wasn't a big fan of the sweet batter. There was also an order of tamales de molé which tasted a little dry butt spicy. Overall the place and food was a solid 4/5.“
“Qué comida deliciosa! I just enjoyed the best gorditas I've ever tasted, along with a very tasty batida of mamey (sort of like a milkshake, and mamey is a pinkish-orange tropical fruit with a mellow but exotic flavor). This place is easy to miss because it's just an unassuming little spot without a lot of garish signage, located on a stretch of Main Street that has seen better days. But you'll notice that it's usually well attended by local people in the know who like really good authentic Mexican food. There's a reason it's so popular: the food is amazing. Es lo mejor!“
“Great food, great atmosphere, great people that work there!!! MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT IS HERE AT PANCHO VILLA! All my life they have helped me in guiding me down better paths! Great positive people highly recommend 10/10. The new girl boss with the north face jacket though is not the best she’s pretty slow! Hopefully she will learn but she’s been there for a while her rating is a 2/10“
“This is my favorite place in Poughkeepsie!!! I travel through here often and I will always stop for a great meal and sangria here. The service is the best, they make you feel like family! The food is so good, I always get steak and chicken fajitas and tacos with ground beef. I just love it here. I go out of my way to come here at least 4-6 times a year!!!“
