Restaurantji's Poughkeepsie guide: Where to find the ultimate Mexican flavors.
“I used to work in a Spanish neighborhood and would get tacos and authentic food. Tortilleria exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Chile Rellenos. I also got the Mexican cheese in the case on the counter for my chips and it was delicious. You will not be disappointed. So yummyFantastic food“
“I guess we are becoming regulars at this place. Food and service are consistently good. Portions are huge and very affordable prices! Last time we went our son wasn't in the mood for Mexican food but we dragged him anyway and he end up getting chicken wings, and I tell you, oh, my, those chicken wings were great! Very crispy and tasty! We had ordered in the past steak tacos, guacamole (we ask less on onions), different enchiladas, steak. I only didn't like pork tacos.“
“Very clean atmosphere with a nice ambiance and beautiful interior. The wait staff was friendly, prompt, and pleasant. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. A new favorite place for me and my family. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Mexican food.“
“I freaking love this place! It's really good food that's not too pretentious like other places on main. There's a lot of good food in Poughkeepsie and el Azteca is among the best ones.They have a daily special that can really save you some money too. It's a shame they don't sell beer otherwise I would eat here ALL THE TIME!I had the flan!“
“We had been driving for quite a while and we were too tired to cook so we decided to try Kokopelli's takeout. The Sierra chicken wrap was made with spicy grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and melted, fresh mozzarella. It was so moist and delicious with a little bit of a kick. The wrap was stuffed with lots of yummy chicken and I really loved it. The seasoned fries were also great. They were a little cold by the time I got home but I'm betting they're super good hot out of the fryer. I would definitely get this again and it makes me extra happy that it's grilled chicken and not battered and fried. The hubby ordered the Chicken Parmesan with penne pasta, and he thought it was also very good. Two huge pieces of chicken Parmesan with bread, side salad, and penne pasta smothered in sauce was exactly what the doctor ordered to recoup from that long drive. I look forward to trying other things like the wings and the Mexican food. The order was ready by the time I got there and the servers were nice. This is not a fancy place to eat...super casual like a deli but with limited seating.“
“The food is phenomenal and the portions are HUGE. Authentic Mexican flavors at affordable prices. My wife and I are from New York City and I didn't expect a restaurant in Poughkeepsie to blow our taste buds away (no offense Poughkeepsie, we love you). The ambiance and decor is also very fun, lots of colorful Mexican artwork and designs. The service was great our two entrees (taco al pastor and vegetarian burrito) were ready in about 10 minutes. My vegetarian burrito was served with a mountain of French fries. We will definitely be coming back here (possible on the same trip, yeah, it's one of those restaurants that you could visit twice on the same trip!). Stop reading this review and go to this restaurant, you will not be disappointed!!“
“Two words: Pozole and Mole. Go. Try both for a wonderful explosion of flavor. The Pozole was chock full of hominy, pork, cabbage and more with a rich and spicy broth. The chicken mole had a deep rich texture that lingered on the taste buds. Service was excellent and the bill was very reasonable.“
“Best good food quick in the area. Fast real food, that you can eat, have a treat and not regret it the next day or the rest of your life, looking at you Taco Bell, McDonalds, etc.Bubbakko's proves fast food can be real food, that tastes good, is unique, and has a good value for money.Vegetarian options: Don't add meat, it's that simpleParking: Park in the lot, it'a easyKid-friendliness: Kids like food, well this place has great flavors and it's natural. Chips, tacos, stuff kids like and moreWheelchair accessibility: Roll on in and enjoy“
“This place is a real gem! How can so much flavor come from such a small restaurant? I had the namesake Mole Mole chicken with a side of fried plantains. The flavors were amazing, and authentic. It's a small place with interesting decor. They do a lot of takeout, but they also have plenty of seating indoors and out. The service is friendly and attentive. And the food is so good! So, the next time you're thinking of going to one of those big chains, please reconsider and give this real Mexican restaurant a chance. ...and make sure to have a glass of freshly made sangria while you are there!“
“This place deserves 5 stars. The staff is super friendly and the food is amazing. They serve mouthwatering authentic Mexican dishes. Their aguas frescas and atole drinks are superb as well. I highly recommend this place, you will not regret it.Starter Suggestions:Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus juice)Horchata (sweet rice milk beverage)Atole - Champurrado (like hot chocolate)Tacos (not the Tex-MEX)Sopes (great breakfast item)Tostadas (crispy corn tortilla with toppings)Tortas (Mexican style sandwich)Tlayudas (Mexican version of a pizza, if you will)Milanesa de pollo (chicken cutlet)“
“This place is a hidden gem. I wish I knew what I was missing. The food is made to order. Small tacos, small price. The burrito is very filling. The guacamole is fresh and delicious. The family that owns it is so nice. They're closed on Mondays. This is a definite must try. It'll be my weekly visit.“
“Excellent chicken burrito with black beans and rice was very filling. The side of guacamole and salad was very generous. Food was extremely good. Looking forward to trying more options. Will definitely visit again. Blue menu is the most current in the photos. Some menus seem super old.“
“This place is pretty good. It seems that they had a name change. We wanted something to eat that was in the area and this place stood out. We go in and got a seat. It was about 1:30 and the place was empty though people came in and made orders to go. The waitress also seemed to be cooking in The back. The manager was also there to help us pick from their menu. We ordered our drinks and i got an horchata. This horchata was delicious and gigantic. They also brought nacho chips with beans to eat while we wait for our order and they were so good. I got a simple order of steak tacos. The meat was good and tender i do wish that their hot sauces were spicier as i prefer it spicy. We also got a plate of chicken that seems to be fried in a sweet batter. It was tasty but I wasn't a big fan of the sweet batter. There was also an order of tamales de molé which tasted a little dry butt spicy. Overall the place and food was a solid 4/5.“
“So was in the area and saw this place. All I can say is wow, I'll be back. they have fresh Agua Fresca (fruit water). I got chicken torta, chicken/carnitas tacos and a few waters. Everything was really good just think the horchata could be better. Overall food atmosphere and service is great. It is outdoor seating and they even a small garden eating area on the other end of the parking lot. Try them, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.Kid-friendliness: It's outside with tables. I would say that's kid friendly with potted plants surrounding most of the seating.Parking: they have their own parking lot with the entrance on the main st side and looks about 20 spots might be moreWheelchair accessibility: looks like there is a wheelchair ramp to go to the window to order“
“If I would have read all the comments before going to this restaurant, maybe I wouldn't eat there. I'm really happy I didn't see the comments and I was able to get my own experience and impression.The food was delicious. I was really satisfied. I'm Dominican and I love Mexican food. I have tried places that honestly I wished I never did. I was a little bit skeptical about this place because of previous experiences in other restaurants but this one was awesome. I'm definitely coming back.Service was also great. Staff was nice and friendly ?“
“This is my favorite place in Poughkeepsie!!! I travel through here often and I will always stop for a great meal and sangria here. The service is the best, they make you feel like family! The food is so good, I always get steak and chicken fajitas and tacos with ground beef. I just love it here. I go out of my way to come here at least 4-6 times a year!!!“
