“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

Seven 7 Mexican Food Restaurant Mexican •
96 Washington St, Poughkeepsie

“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“
