Amazing! Best Mexican food I have had in New York State! As good if not better than any five star resort in Cancun! Enchilada mole was perfect and now I just want to plan my trip back!

Absolutely top-notch authentic Mexican food. Outdoor seating when the weather permits. I am blown away by one of their ceviches called “Vuelve a la Vida”.

The food is consistently delicious and I always have a great experience at Gardenia’s.
