La Fortaleza Poughkeepsie

I attempted to go there last night. The music was insanely loud for no reason. The place was practically empty. Except for a small cluster of people. I couldn’t even hear the waitress when she was trying to talk to me. So I told her nevermind and left.

A very fun dining experience, it had a party atmosphere with great music. Drinks were good. The food underperformed. The chicken they use is little bits of meat with no flavor at all. I will return but I hope the food is better next time. Prices are very high on some menu items. Restrooms were very good and has a great parking lot.

When thinking of a Mexican restaurant you'd think tacos but this place is beyond tacos!! The service by my beautiful waitress Daisy was espectacular welcomed me in with her lovely smile and attitude!!
My food was so delicious I couldn't help myselfi from ordering some to go! The drinks don't get me started. I'm a sucker for good drinks and this place has more than just that, even the nonalcoholic beverages were so good especially the horchata.
You can tell it was made with love and made fresh!!
The atmosphere was amazing the vibes, the colors, the music!!!! I got lucky and came in when they had a live band in house!!! If I could dance I would've been on the dance floor but I know the drinks were trying to fool me! I just have to say this place is amazing and I'll be sure to come by every weekend!!

Our service was absolutely terrible! It wasn't busy at all. Pretty sure this place is more hype and Instagram Pic worthy. Food was ok. Drinks good but expensive.

First visit, they give tablets with their menus on it. Service was a little spotty but pleasant. Food was good but huge portions for us.

BEWARE OF HIDDEN FEES!
I really wanted to like this place because the atmosphere is great, but the experience was disappointing. Our server (Silvia) had an attitude, the food was dry, and everything was extremely overpriced. My bill for two people came out to $300, which is outrageous.. especially considering they charge extra for things like meat on tacos.

To make matters worse, they automatically added a 20% tip to the bill without mentioning it, then still asked for an additional tip. When I noticed and asked for it to be removed, the server said she would, but never did.
I also don’t recommend the Coco Un Loco drink. It tasted like plain milk and made both of us feel nauseous.
The only positive part of the experience was when I called the manager the next day. He was kind, understanding, and issued a partial refund.
Overall, the atmosphere can’t make up for the poor service, hidden charges, and disappointing food. Definitely not worth the price.
