“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful wine bar, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and cozy, setting the perfect tone for a relaxing evening.The charcuterie board was a delightful array of flavors and textures, perfectly complementing the diverse selection of wines available on tap. Each bite was a journey through savory delights, expertly curated to tantalize the taste buds.While we encountered a small issue with the temperature of one plate, it was quickly and efficiently addressed by the attentive staff without us even having to request it. This level of proactive service truly speaks to the commitment to customer satisfaction at this establishment.Our server, Sarah, was an absolute gem. Not only was she friendly and approachable, but she also proved to be an excellent guide, helping us navigate the extensive menu and wine bar selections with ease. Her recommendations were spot-on, showcasing her thorough knowledge of the drinks and menu offerings.Overall, my experience at this wine bar was nothing short of exceptional. With its inviting atmosphere, delectable charcuterie boards, and signature drinks that tease the taste buds, it's the perfect destination for anyone looking to unwind and indulge in a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of what this hidden gem has to offer. Cheers to Sarah and the entire team AND MY HUSBAND? for making it an unforgettable evening!”

“Had the mighty zinger, and it was so so delicious. They took 25 minutes to prepare it but was worth the wait. It felt like it was made with love. The mango lassi is one of of the best I’ve had too.”

“Hands down best Italian left in the area. We both got chicken parm. It was the best we have had in the capital district. The clam chowder soup and meatballs were awesome too some of the best we have ever had!We hope the owners stay open for many years to come and the recipes don't change”

“Such a great coffee shop! Got a double shot latte and a "jalapeno popper" bagel (Plain bagel with a jalapeno cream cheese spread).The coffee was amazing and so was the bagel! Highly recommended. Also, the aesthetic of that shop is very trendy and modern. When we went the place was hoppin'. Very friendly staff. They have a large variety of home made pastries and other snacks.Additional Tip: they have limited parking right next to the shop (3 parallel parking spot with a 15 minute line) but then tons of parking in the back! Enjoy!!!”

“Peter Pause is one of the best, if not THE best, breakfast place in Schenectady! Good old fashion diner feel, HUGE portions of food and beyond reasonable prices. The staff is really down to earth, personable and always have a smile for you. I can't recommend this place enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: There is street parking and you can usually park pretty close.”

“I can’t understand why this place doesn’t have five stars. You guys certainly deserve it. The food was delicious and the staff was so incredibly friendly !!!! It’s a hidden gem ❤️”

“I was very excellent. I had the 50-50 burger I had it on a brioche front instead of a pretzel bun. Onion rings for very good. Just a little oily or greasy but that's okay. Not crowded, not noisy, very relaxed. We enjoyed ”

“The food is always good. I've yet to have a bad meal. 10 plus years of coming here. Last nights pad Thai shrimp was phenomenal as always. My boyfriend and son got chicken and they both were equate happy. Little spring rolls added to the best meal I could ask for. Thanks Mizu!”

“If you go, and you should. Get the loaded hot dogs! I usually order to go and get either the hot dogs or their open faced turkey sandwich.I only ate inside once, and they were super busy, but we still received our food, delicious and hot.Absolutely go here if you are able.”

“Morrocan food in Schenectady in practically unknown but thanks to Chef Aneesa Waheed, Tara Kitchen has become The Electric City's best kept secret. They serve up their tagines and lunch buffet with a side of great atmosphere, good food and great service.”

“At a time when restaurants are scaling back on ingredients, portions and quality while charging more for meals, The Ritz On Union does just the opposite. I enjoyed a tasty ragu dish over papperdelle pasta. The portion was sizable and the pricing was fair.”

“Not only does Grano have amazing food, but their customer service is also fantastic! I went there recently before a show at Proctors, and unfortunately the kitchen was a little behind, and we did not have enough time to eat. When leaving Proctors, our server was waiting outside the theater to give us our food to take home. They really went above and beyond. I will definitely be going back soon!”

“Every time we go in we have a great time. Drinks are unique and so tasty and we share a bunch of small plates and they are so good. The calamari is so tender..go if you have not!”

“Had dinner there last night with my boyfriend and everything was absolutely divine! The calamari is probably the best calamari I've ever had and the Utica greens were spot on. I had the bolognase and he had the veal parm, both were delicious! We will definitely be back to try more dishes! (and for that calamari.. yum!!)”

“I'm a seafood (crabs and shrimp mostly) Junkie. I like my food hot, to the point of crying and smiling. Their food is truly delicious. The price is reasonable as well.Parking: 3 to 5 spots. Parking on the street.”

“Review from a foodie everything here is delicious I am really not a fan of toasted subs but now I totally understand why the bread is toasted lightly. The submarine bread is fresh . The wings are amazing and the pizza is delicious as well it isn’t too thick or too thin and it has the perfect balance of cheese and sauce . You won’t be disappointed with this business. I plan on visiting again and trying something else of these menu .”

“My husband and I went there this evening for Valentines dinner. We have been there for her amazing breakfasts and have ordered her take out pot pies and WOW, we were not disappointed with our amazing dinner. I had the Eggplant and my husband had the Filet. Warm and cozy atmosphere- just perfect!!”

“I always have a good time at this establishment. They're very friendly and the customer service is very fast. I order the Chicken Parm Panini and it was delicious. 9/10!!Parking: There is parking in the back of the restaurant so you will not have to worry about where to park.”

“Best take out Asian flare tasty rice dishes. Best porkfried rice in Capital Region. Terrific prices. Wishing they had a rest room for customer.Vegetarian options: Delish bean curd veggie soup”

“Nice spot. Only gripe was my buzzer didn't work and the bartender(who was super nice) brought me my Poutine. Unfortunately it was cold by then. Would have been much better hot.”

“Mac and cheese was awesome. Soup was out of this world. Bread ? awesome, crab cake great. Ribeye steak cook great just need a little more seasoning. Server was the best. So nice ?”

“Most amazing service, we got turned around to the other location and she called to check up and we unfortunately got there a little late but she waited and even gave us a soda to go along when we tried to tip for the amazing appreciation and service. Food is absolutely wonderful and made with care. Will be frequenting this family establishment more over the coming years for the down to earth and positive attitude and good service and great food.Dietary restrictions: Easily customized and easily madeParking: Lots of room for the cozy shop”

“The food is great and the staff friendly, just very busy. It's a take out place, so the dining atmosphere may be a little dystopian, but it doesn't matter. I always enjoy the food and I get a good value for my money.Vegetarian options: The veggie menu is great. I enjoy the tofu dishes.Parking: The lot is small but There is always space since very few dine in. Buses use the small lot so occasionally one must wait, bur it never takes long.”

“Ordered the dragon and phenix. Phenomenal ! Finally a decent general tso and spicey shrimp ! Perfectly cooked and delivered hot from door dash ! Keep it up and you are my new main stop !!”

“It was our first time going and I’m so happy we did! The atmosphere is just great and the food was amazing and our waiter Matt was really nice also!!! Will definitely be back!”

“In town for a play at Proctor in a snow storm, found this place after midnight and was so grateful! Great food, staff was wonderful! Amazing customer service, thank you!!!”

“Anthony and his staff go beyond what they have to do. I needed cannoli shells. I called and they said they have a lot of them. Went to pick them up and someone brought all six boxes. I was upset because I didn't want to make them. Anthony back into the back and let me buy shells they had made for their own. I was in tears. He didn't have to do that. Had to go back the next day to get deli and he remember me and asked how I made out. The best around. The staff is great and friendly. Thank you once again for helping me out.”

“If you haven't already tried Zhu's Kitchen, you must!! It's the BEST Chinese food in Rotterdam. The food is always fresh and hot, the wait staff are always polite, friendly and accommodate your requests, as well as the owners being very hard working and take great pride in their food and business!! I have tried several different things here, which ALL have been exceptional!! So give Zhu's Kitchen a try... it will keep you coming back for more!!”

“Friday, Feb. 9 2024, we enjoyed a fish fry platter and a ranch, crispy chicken wrap platter. Always superb service, delicious , fresh food! Also IF you forget your take out food, on your table, not to worry because your waitress will chase after you , outside to hand it to you ! Thank you Eunice !! Dick and Bonnie Hebert 02/8/2024”

“The service and food were amazing ! We ordered, blinked, and boom all that we ordered was in front of us. I felt like a celebrity because of the amazing and quick service. Perfect spot for me and hubbies date ”

“Yes ma’am! I’ve lived in NY now for 19 years and thought I was never going to taste my Mamaw’s cookin’ again. Rest her soul. Let me tell you !! Ya Ya made me feel like I was in her kitchen! EVERY bite of EVERY dish on that menu… Huge helpings! And the desserts ? I just can’t ! Mmm mmm I tell you what ! Everything made from the heart!”

“Went for gluten free pasta and left with more than anticipated. Person was really friendly and helpful and suggested an item swap as thought was better. Give them a try.”

“Every experience we’ve had has been positive. The staff are attentive and kind. They genuinely seem happy to serve their customers. We had a mix up w a take out order and they apologized repeatedly. On our next trip, the remembered my name and more than compensated us for the mistake. I was blown away by the customer service. And the food? It’s spot on. Fresh, delicious and consistently good. Niji is truly a gem in the heart of Rotterdam and my family and I would highly recommend their establishment.”

“Armondo's was recommended by another restaurant that could not accommodate us. We are grateful. The food was excellent. The bracciole appetizer was big enough for 2, and the entrees were huge! The red sauce was perfect. We were way too full for dessert. Maybe next time we should start with that. An excellent dinner!”

“Quaint little bakery. The bread and pizza were delicious. Our cashier was friendly and very helpful. She gave us info about the bakery, the restaurant and the surrounding area. It’s a bit pricey but right on par for such a gem of artesanal culinary. We will be back!”

“This is the first time I’ve had Peruvian food and hopefully not the last. It was fun having different foods to try and my first time ever having Ceviche which I found very good. Fun adventure and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back or recommend family and friends to Mi Bandera Restaurant!”

“This place always delivers! From the apps, to the sushi bar and then to the hibachi! Food is always great and fun is always had !Black peppered tuna app, filet and lobster hibachi !”

“Absolutely the best pizza in town. Family oriented and the desserts are best in class. The staff are always friendly and Maria and Sydney are amazing! Thank you very much!”

“Very very great relaxing atmosphere in the food was amazing and my waitress was very accommodating and a sweetheart all along a great experience especially myself in past working in the restaurant business”

“Fun and friendly staff! We must remember these people actually SHOW UP for work each day! They have to deal with extremely complicated menu and orders. Delivery services, long drive thru lines, and of course customers in a rush add to their stress. I along with many others would probably only last an hour trying to do their job.”

“Placed a mobil order and when I arrived at 9am they were out of donuts I ordered, no biggie changed order but got something totally different. Kid we're flexible and just excited for a special treat”

“I just took my girlfriend there for her first Burger King breakfast and she got a croissantwich and I got an iced coffee. And I gotta say the sandwiches were amazing she loved them, my mocha iced coffee was made PERFECT!! The food was done in literally a minute. And the girl at the counter with the red hair n lip piercing was such a sweetheart!! Definitely our new BK for future reference.”

“I've been going here for over 9 years and they are all polite and very nice people never had any problems love my dunkin I love there coffee im there at least 6x a day”

“Thank you to the girl who waited on me in the drive thru at 3:30 am. She was fast and friendly and actually made my sandwich.. Unlike the DD I had gone to on Curry Rd right before this one. They didn't even bother to answer me in the drive through. Just an FYI... Do not assume you will get better service depending on the location. As I found out at 3:20 in the morning when I assumed I would be waited on at the 24 hour DD Rotterdam. Kudos to the girl at the State St. location.”

“Everything was good . Food and service was great. staff was very helpful and understanding... Table was clean and comfortable for the fast food theme.Parking: Easy and freeKid-friendliness: Kids menu as well kids can watch TV and eat some tacos ?”

“Ordered 2whopperd i hear 2 jr whoppers I repeated no 2 whoppers well bag comes out 2 Jr's I said I wanted 2 regular whoppers not Jr's I hear oh ok as she shuts the ”

“I highly recommend CFC. The atmosphere is cozy. The service is friendly and their food is delicious. We have tried several items from the menu. All are outstanding.”

“With our few trips to this store, we understood that the store always has limited things available from menu and because of limited staff members (generally 1 or 2), they are don’t bother about servicing you ”

“My first love of fast food was Burger King and it was only fitting that I eat my last fast food meal here and it didn’t disappoint. The service was great especially for a late night. My unique requests were met with no problem at all and the staff did a great job. KeepIt up! This is not the same place it was 4 years ago.”

“Worked out of McDs from 8am-11am while work was getting done on my car. Nicely remodeled and pleasant environment, staff was extremely friendly and lunch was hot and fresh.”

“Talk about a lasting impression...I ll never forget this place Once met a sweet lady named Mya working in there I stayed loyal coming there for 8 years before I moved to Arizona Always was treated with respect and kindness from her and other staff Hey,God bless!! -Big Mike”

“Did an online order, and my car wouldn’t start so I was about an hour late to pick up. They remade all the food for me (it was a larger order) without me even requesting them to do so. Helped turn my day around!”

“If you want Popeyes, THIS PLACE IS IT. I was taken back to how fresh and crispy my food was bc NO OTHER POPEYES IN ALBANY can get it this right. Literally was the best.”

“Ordered breakfast on the app 10am got there at 20 after 10 food was not made and that's OK but it took 15 min for 3 sandwiches and hash browns and the mcgriddle was hard and crusty on half of it very disappointed.”

“this place is amazing! very positive experience with the owners, the price, and the food. We had a small birthday party there and ordered pizza, garlic knots grilled chicken salad, and mozzarella sticks. The salad was fresh and had real chicken breast, not the frozen stuff. the best garlic knots and sauce I've ever had! Everyone loved the pizza and the mozzarella sticks too! Unbeatable prices. Can't wait to return!”

“We love Blue Rose, always go to them for our families birthday cakes. absolutely adore the cake they did this year for my daughter's birthday! it was perfect!”

“If you have not been to this amazing pub, you're missing out! Sue is amazing, and so is all the rest of the staff there. The food is great, the atmosphere is amazing and the prices are cheap on everything. I absolutely love playing at this venue. I honestly wish we could do it weekly and be their house band.”

“The food was very good, but this is my second time going there and each time they've messed up my bill and overcharged me. I caught it the first time, and missed it the second time. I didn't get an itemized receipt to verify the charges were correct. I don't think I'd go back because of that reason.”

“They were super busy and still paid attention to us as soon as we walked through the door. They were quick and everything was great. The quiche was super good and they made sure my kid's food came quickly so he had no reason to whine lol perfect Saturday brunch spot!”

“Absolutely phenomenal experience at this bar! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The drinks were not only delicious but surprisingly affordable, which is a rare find these days. The wings were hands down some of the best I've ever tasted (mainly garlic parm) - perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a variety of mouthwatering sauces to choose from. And let's talk about the pool tables! They were well-maintained and provided endless entertainment throughout the night. What truly set this place apart was the diverse crowd it attracted. It was refreshing to see people from all walks of life coming together to enjoy good company and great vibes. Whether you're looking for a casual hangout spot or a lively night out, this bar has something for everyone and it’s a nice switch from Saratoga’s Caroline street. 10/10, would highly recommend!Parking: Parking can be limited at peak times but on street parking is available as well as a nearby empty lot.”

“Great prices during lunchtime. Everything we ordered - tom kha soup, pad see ew, panang curry and basil fried rice was very flavorful and good. The spice levels are no joke. We usually do 3-4 at thai restaurants, here we were warned and got 2s and it was still quite spicy. Highly recommend!!”

“Fabulous vegetarian options and great cocktails! They have vegan chicken wings, a vegan belgogi, beyond burgers, a ton of salads, and even a vegetarian steak as the special of the night.”

“Hubby brought home food from Karam yesterday for the first time ever...we were blown away! Fresh and absolutely delicious!! So glad hubby works in Schenectady we’ll be regulars! YUM!”

“I love this place! Believe me, everything you read about the chicken wings here is spot on. They are meaty, juicy, and delicious. Jen helped me out and she couldn't have been nicer. She even started singing behind the bar! That's the kind of neighborhood spot this is. It feels like it's been around for 100 years and everyone is made to feel welcome. I can't wait to return because there were so many items on the menu and so many beers on tap it's impossible to conquer it all on just one visit. This is the perfect dive bar.”

“Nice coffee shop in a hip area on Jay St. Owner and service are friendly. Good atmosphere. Pricing is average for coffee. Ordered a lg hot Skybar and 1 lg iced Smore's and was disappointed on the flavor profiles. Not sure if they forgot to flavor both coffee's but both tasted like straight espresso. The coffee was also bitter compared to most places which could mean a couple things but are easy fixes. I'll give them another try. On a street with 2 other coffee shops they need to make some minor adjustments and I think they'll be a hit!”

“We ordered the Italian Buffet from their catering menu for a work event, and it was a hit! The portion size was way more than enough, and the food was delicious! Everyone was raving about the bread especially. They let us borrow the equipment to keep the food warm, which was very appreciated. I cannot give this resturant enough praise. You can tell they care about what they do and their customers. Thank you again!”

“I’m not a smoothie girl but my first experience pretty good the atmosphere is nice it’s smoothies great and the nice sir that owns it is totally cool I recommend getting the Sweet venom”

“We had a family gathering of about 20 people. Everyone loved the food and atmosphere. The owner and his staff went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend BL's.”

“We went for the first time today & it was delicious! They have healthy & fresh food & it’s very welcoming, homely, & accommodating! My daughter had the açaí bowl & my mother & I had the hamburger vegetable soup! We thoroughly enjoyed! Will be back again!”

“The young man named Jamol needs a raise. Just go ahead and promote him to manager because the few times I came to this establishment he was the one and only person working. Not only that the pizza that he makes is absolutely delicious! Please give Jamol credit for running the whole store by himself. He is the man!”

“Everything was good . Food and service was great. staff was very helpful and understanding... Table was clean and comfortable for the fast food theme.Parking: Easy and freeKid-friendliness: Kids menu as well kids can watch TV and eat some tacos ?”

“They did an incredible job with my sons birthday cake. It was everything I asked for. Customer service was amazing and all my messages/questions were answered so fast. First time ordering & won’t be the last!”

“The staff is always so pleasant and very helpful. I had a fantastic meal and everything was cooked perfectly. The live music was an added bonus . My family can’t wait to visit again soon .”

“This restaurant is something else! The food is delicious and there is a great selection of foods. The people there are really nice and helped us to choose the best food. I had a great time eating there with my family and I want to come back soon!”

“We have several pizza places around us we've tried them all this place we tried because one of others was getting expensive gave ya shot n were happy to say we will be ordering again ty good food fast friendly ”

“Two subs, wings, large antipasto and grilled chicken salad. Everything was awesome! Kids actually ate in silence too busy chewing! Pretzel rolls I could eat a dozen! Ladies at the counter where nice and our food was done and ready in a timely manner despite there being 7 other people with questions and orders in the store. Nice to have a decent place close by again!”

“Absolutely the best pizza in town. Family oriented and the desserts are best in class. The staff are always friendly and Maria and Sydney are amazing! Thank you very much!”

“The atmosphere is very nice, the owners are very nice and patient with any questions my husband and I had when we dined in for the first time!Food was very delicious and flavorful!!! highly recommend you wont be disappointed ! go early before the sell out!”

“So glad I found this place! They carry Freihoffers (my fave bread), Entenmanns, Thomas’s, Stroehmann, etc. most things at much lower than grocery stores (some things about the same). Lots of interesting items I’ve never seen before. Great place to get cakes & fancy cookies for parties. Watch your expiration dates but everything I got tasted fresh.”

“Ordered delivery for the first time- it came quickly, still hot, and so delicious!! Husband really enjoyed the fish fry and the child wolfed down his cheeseburger and fries. I ordered the chicken pesto panini (not sure if that was the exact name) and I was very pleased with the cook on the chicken- something I tend to worry about. Had it with a side of eggplant fries which I thoroughly enjoyed and they came with a side of marinara. Oh and the cole slaw was amazing!! We have never actually eaten food from here, only ice cream, but we've already decided that this will be a regular for us!”

“Amazing fish fry spot. Delicious food. Homemade! And the best part? Clean, Honest and hardworking owner here. He was so courteous and even let us try an extra sauce. I will absolutely come back for the food and service.”

“For the second year, my son has had his birthday party here. The owners are so friendly and accommodating, and did a lot of fun games with the kids. Highly recommend The Axe Lounge!”

“The food I ordered was good but things can be improved. Please make sure you remove all of the scales from the steamed snapper. As tasty as it was I was, spitting out all of the scales was a disappointment. The provisions were ok ,tasted like they were old/ overcooked. The snapper was tasty and the veggies were fresh. I would try something else”

“Place is great! Bartenders are a little hit-and-miss on service. Ordered the steak and I wish they mentioned the cut or that I was told what it was. I probably wouldn't have ordered as low a temp as I did knowing the cut.”

“In town for a play at Proctor in a snow storm, found this place after midnight and was so grateful! Great food, staff was wonderful! Amazing customer service, thank you!!!”

“Mac and cheese was awesome. Soup was out of this world. Bread ? awesome, crab cake great. Ribeye steak cook great just need a little more seasoning. Server was the best. So nice ?”

“My family of 7 felt very comfortable. The atmosphere was fun, cozy and clean. Fresh quality food. Large portions of food. Very reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and very attentive.”

“Upon entering I was really going to leave had a party of 9 the first waiter ( looks like a teenager)who was seating us was just dull didn't even said hello he just looked at me grab the menus then I told him 9 and he just turned around and walked away . We sat down and before I knew it he left then along came the nicest waitress I've ever met, patient and she was onto of things food was good not a 5 star meal obviously but I'm rating mainly for the waitress who served us”

“**A Memorable Morning at the Café with Linda L.**The sun peeked through the lace curtains, casting a warm glow on the cozy corner booth. I settled into the cushioned seat, anticipation bubbling within me. It was a lazy Sunday morning, and I had chosen my favorite breakfast spot—the quaint little café tucked away on Elm Street.Linda L., our server, glided over with a smile that could brighten the grayest of days. Her apron was neatly tied, and her eyes sparkled as she handed me the menu. "Good morning! Ready to indulge in some breakfast magic?" she asked, her voice a melodic blend of cheerfulness.I nodded, my gaze already fixed on the page. The choices were abundant, but my heart knew exactly what it craved: the **Strawberry Stuffed French Toast**. It was legendary—a symphony of flavors that danced on the taste buds. Linda L. seemed to read my mind. "Ah, the French toast," she said, her eyes twinkling. "An excellent choice. You won't be disappointed."As she glided away, I sipped my coffee, inhaling the aroma of freshly ground beans. The café buzzed with life—the clinking of cutlery, the low hum of conversations, and the occasional laughter. Linda L. moved gracefully between tables, attending to each guest with genuine warmth. She was more than a server; she was a storyteller, weaving tales of culinary delights and shared moments.And then it arrived—the pièce de résistance. A plate adorned with golden slices of brioche, stuffed with plump strawberries and a hint of vanilla. The whipped cream atop resembled fluffy clouds, and a drizzle of maple syrup cascaded down the sides. I closed my eyes as I took the first bite—a symphony indeed. The strawberries burst with sweetness, the bread soaked in eggy goodness, and the crunch of toasted almonds added a delightful surprise.Linda L. appeared by my side, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "How's the French toast?" she asked, her pride evident. I could only nod, my mouth full, but my heart singing. It was more than a meal; it was a memory etched in syrup and crumbs.As I paid the bill, Linda L. leaned in. "Come back soon," she whispered. "We'll have more stories to share." And I knew I would return—the café, the French toast, and Linda L.—a trio of magic waiting to be savored again.So here's to Linda L., the great server who made my morning extraordinary, and to that heavenly Strawberry Stuffed French Toast—I'll forever love it.---*Bon appétit!* ??☕”

“Both my girl and I went back for seconds even though we're trying to keep our weight down. The roast was fantastic, tender and juicy ? the stuffed clams, crab rangoon seafood salad baked crab meet and green salad where is good as the tiny steak bits with the vegetables and artichoke salad. It was a culinary delight and nothing was a-miss. Yumm!!! JoeKid-friendliness: Children were treated with cheery respect!”

“Very very great relaxing atmosphere in the food was amazing and my waitress was very accommodating and a sweetheart all along a great experience especially myself in past working in the restaurant business”

“The atmosphere is very nice, the owners are very nice and patient with any questions my husband and I had when we dined in for the first time!Food was very delicious and flavorful!!! highly recommend you wont be disappointed ! go early before the sell out!”

“If you like carrot cake, go order one now!! I had a large order placed which included a carrot cake, all flavors of cupcakes, and all the types of cannolis. Cakes were amazing! Frosting delicious. The cannolis I gotta say were disappointing but staff was great to work with and super ”

“Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant is a small Mexican restaurant, but the food is on point, the service is friendly, and despite that it is a smaller restaurant, it does have a pleasant enough ambiance and vibe. I went with a burrito and it did not disappoint. The menu at Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant does not stray far from the usual menu items found on every Mexican restaurant across the nation, but that is not a bad thing. Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant is a solid choice if you are in the Schenectady, New York area and looking for a nice Mexican meal.”

“The wait staff is fantastic here. They deal with extremely loud crowds. Sometimes people split checks and it's super annoying, I know because I used to be a server back in my college days. Anyways tonight Mackenzie was fantastic and she dealt with a lot of craziness. We really appreciated her.”

“My wife and I went here for late lunch. we got the hush puppies, chicken tenders, and I had the Wyatt hamburger. all I gotta say. don't wait and get to that place. everything was phenomenal and homemade ranch dipping sauce with dill weed in it. oh my lord.”

“Drive thru is tight for big trucks. If you have 22s you don't want scratched up. Go inside to order. It's taco bell. Usually missing an item or two but they always make up for it on the next trip there, so overall it is fine.Parking: Parking is a little narrow but lots of spaces”
