An under appreciated restaurant that has consistently good authentic Mexican fare and a warm inviting vibe. Pepe, bartender/server is especially awesome. He makes you feel welcome and remembers just how you like your margarita. The bar area has beautiful stone work and a huge variety of tequila. There are 4 large screens - sports, food network, news to keep you occupied if you're flying solo. Try it you'll like it :)

Better to cross the bridge and have a better experience in Poughkeepsie. The Talk charges a lot and does not carry the same. The classic Margarita had pure ice. The second, he asked for one without ice. They charged me $2 for one without ice, and it was the same drink. Don't suck the talk

Peppe was our waiter and did an amazing job helping us and giving suggestions. The place is lovely and decorated in such good taste. Warm and inviting and the food is authentic and amazing!!!! We will definitely be adding this to our roster! Thank you!!!!

For my bday. I wanted a dessert and a drink. I went with a coconut margarita and a tres leches cake. It’s bright and open. There are booths, tables and seats at the bar. The drink was lovely, the cake was moist and delicious. My server was attentive and a native Spanish speaker. I would recommend and I hope to return for an entree.

It's ok. Food fine. My chile rellenos tasted like freezer. But the guacamole was delicious. Service failed to tell us about happy hour when we sat down..only told us after we order a few drinks. I think it was because someone overheard them talking about happy hour to another table. Overall it was fine, I would eat here again.

Great menu with not the usual offerings (though they're there). Guacamole and margaritas are terrific. Friendly folks. Attentive and quick servers. One of the top Mexican restaurants in the area. Mexican cantina atmosphere. Prices are a bit above average but worth it.

Went for dinner with coworkers. We all had tacos, chicken, Carne Asad, and pork. The service was a bit slow, however they only had 2 servers and they were packed. The young lady Jillian was great and very helpful.

What a gem! I was so pleased with my experience at Charla. Fantastic food with amazing flavor. Amazing drinks and the atmosphere was phenomenal. I appreciate when Latino restaurants maintain culture. Made me feel at home ❤️ I would always come back!

An absolutely darling place in new platz to come and get some magnificent mexican food. The staff is super friendly, incredibly kind and always warming and welcoming. Thisbis definitely going to be one of my go to spots from now on.
Not bad. Not awesome. Good was fairly good, service was a little lacking. Atmosphere is a little brightIy lit for my tastes - more like a fast food place than what I'd expected. Background music seemed a little loud. I enjoyed trying the grasshopper tacos. I'd say middle of the road in terms of the overall experience.

Great Mexican food, clean, but only two people handling the service so you will have to be patient.
