Great setting and lovely decor. The rooms are well spaced for various parties and the bar is separated for its own vibe. Delicious food- we had thei Mexican lasagna and a crab stuffed sole. Both so yummy! Plus the arrancini was special, and the churros- so authentic! Tino the owner and chef came out to greet us. A lovely experience with great wait

We decided to try this Place for our 5 year anniversary of buying our home. What a great spot!! We had the Mexican Lasagna on recommendation of our server and the Sole stuffed with Crab Special Both entrees were spot on. Great flavor and appearance. Owner/ Chef came out and checked on us and I love when they do that. Finished our meal with Homemade Churros. Service was outstanding and loved the vibe of the back bar. Will be back to check that out another time.

Food was amazing!!! Service was really slow. It seemed like a very long time to have our meals brought to us and then we were pushed out the door.

A great venue for either date night or a large reservation! The wait staff are very polite, courteous and professional. There's a seperate bar that is an absolute vibe that specializes in handcrafted cocktails (or just grab a beer) toward the back of the restaurant. The bartender like the waitstaff is very polite and welcoming. I most recently ordered their shortrib and it was juicy, tender and delicious. This is my go-to spot whenever I'm in town.

If you're looking for a bold new take on dinner, 42 Fusion is the place to be. At first glance, the concept—Mexican and Italian fusion—might sound a bit strange. But take one bite, and you’ll realize it’s a combination that absolutely works. In fact, it soars.
Let’s start with the food. The guacamole? Quite possibly the best I’ve ever had—bright, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. The pizza is another standout: thin crust, crispy to perfection, and bursting with bold, flavorful toppings that balance Mexican spices and Italian tradition seamlessly. The short ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, slow-braised and full of rich, smoky depth.
One of the most surprisingly amazing dishes? The Mexican lasagna—layers of pasta, cheese, and spiced meat with just the right heat. It's comfort food reinvented. And don’t sleep on the appetizers either—the mussels are fresh and savory, swimming in a broth you’ll want to mop up with every bit of bread you can find.
Now, a quick note: getting the food can be a bit slow, especially during busy hours. But trust me—it’s worth the wait. The quality and creativity that come out of the kitchen more than make up for a few extra minutes.
Cocktail lovers will be just as thrilled. The drink menu is creative and extensive, with plenty of tequila-based options and expertly crafted cocktails. Whether you're sipping a smoky mezcal negroni or a fresh jalapeño margarita, there’s something for everyone.
Highly recommended.

As a local I cannot say enough good things about 42 Fusion! This is by far the best restaurant I have been to, from the atmosphere to their delicious food they have so much to offer. Their mexican lasagna blew me away and is a must try if you plan on coming here, along with their tiramisu! My mother also got this chicken special and absolutely loved it!

This restaurant was amazing!! An absolute hidden gem that combines two of my favorite food types! No wait to get in, food came out super fast and you get a starter of chips and some of the best homemade salsa or so my wife tells me.our waitress Kristin was so fantastic!! She was engaging, knowledgeable, super friendly and helpful and just an all around pleasure!! The food was INCREDIBLE! I had the special and ate every bite, out of the three of us we only took home like 1/4 th of a plate it was so good and I recommend anyone who is in the area to go here!!

We stopped here on the way to Rochester from Saratoga and it was the best decision ever. The food is delicious and the best salsa I have ever had!! Mixing Mexican and Italian dishes truly make for an unforgettable and absolutely delicious meal!! The service is amazing everyone from the owner to the staff is welcoming and incredibly friendly. I cant recommend this place more! Next time we are in town we will be back!!
This is my go-to in Ballston Spa. I haven't had anything but great meals and great service. The folks who own and run it are truly lovely, and you can tell that they take pride in what they do. I love 1/2 price margarita/$3 taco Mondays, but I think all of their prices are fair. Menu standouts for me are the Poblano pepper, the prosciutto shrimp, the calamari, the flan, and the churros.
