    I thought stuff like this only happened in the movies you know- like that "My Cousin Vinny" moment when Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei roll into town to check the tires and everyone gives them the full up-and-down stare. Well, that's exactly how it felt when we walked in for a quick bite at Angel's in rural East Durham, NY. With a name like Angel's Café and the owner being a Spanish language speaker, the customer base leans in a totally different direction: more rural Americana than anything else. Stares aside, we were sent this way after wrapping up some errands in town. Clean and spacious with a menu full of variety, this café-restaurant has something for every taste. My Muenster and sliced tomato grilled cheese had just the right amount of gooeyness, pressed between buttery slices of rye (not my go-to, but it was either that or wheat). It hit the spot so well, I almost ordered another. Hubs, being the meat-eater he is, went for the burger patty club sandwich and had no complaints. While the space itself is spotless and inviting, the ventilation system could use some attention because I left smelling more like the kitchen than a customer. Still, the wide selection and comfortable setting make it a nice visit. Service was easygoing and for two solid sandwiches, a pink lemonade and an iced tea, our total was just $24. No fuss, no frills- just a satisfying small-town lunch.

    Found this hidden gem while visiting upstate for a few days. Very mom and pop and it shows the minute you walk in, it's family owned and ran. They have a wide variety menu and the food was great and at a very affordable price. The servers were extremely nice and kind. The cafe itself is very quiet but we were told early mornings usually are extremely hectic. I wish I tried more of their menu and hope to go back soon!

Like shorts, shirt, dad hat backwards, with a baby car seat and we were welcomed in with open arms *cue Journey*. The tiacolo and tetela were good. The smoked pig and pork belly were delicious too. Got couple glasses of white to wash it down. We had homeboy(server) literally describe everything to us and he was super friendly and chill about it. Honestly this spot is a cool date night spot but also could be a good family outing. As a tourist, I'm glad to have spent the extra dime here because gyyyaaawdamn this part of New York lacks flavor. You would think closer to the farms, would be a bit better, but maybe just the areas we visited were ehh. This was the only spot in Leeds we checked out cuz we were more congregated around Saugerties. Idk the area just tryna spell the context. Everything is like 15-30 away from each other so maybe there's other spots just like this with a bit more cost effectiveness.

And seeing how extensively the former Denny's Restaurant was remodeled you definitely get that large corporate feeling. This is not your Mom & Pop's home-town restaurant effort. But that corporate feeling begins to fade somewhat while you are dining. The staff are friendly, helpful, and appear to be enjoying themselves as evidenced by some of them singing along to the authentic Mexican background music. The menu is huge! Would you believe 20 pages of drinks and food? Fortunately, there are photos for almost every dish, so you have no problem wondering what it is that you are ordering. Besides, most of the offerings are Tex-Mex dishes which Americans are quite familiar with by now, e.g., tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas, and chimichangas. One thing that I found puzzling was that tamales were only available in each of the three Combo dishes. You apparently cannot order tamales singularly. Upon being seated, we were promptly served complimentary chips along with a red salsa and a refried bean dip with cheese, pepper, and tomato. The salsa had no spicing at all. We each ordered a large (24 oz.) draft Modelo Especial ($10 each). My initial test of a Mexican restaurant is to try a dish with their Mole and compare it with memories of the home cooked meal I was served by a close Mexican friend more than 30 years ago. However, I had wanted to also try something more than the Pollo Mole at Don Juan's. I zeroed in on Tampiqueña ($27); a marinated grilled steak and a mole enchilada coated in their house made Tia Maria Mole sauce. The dish was also served with refried beans, rice, lettuce, tomato, green onions, and guacamole in place of sliced avocado. The steak was pounded very thin so that the likely tougher cut that was used was not overly chewy. The flavors however, with the grilling and marinade were quite tasty. The enchilada was filled with tender chicken, and the mole coating on the flour tortilla was more sweet than savory as opposed to what I would have expected from a more traditional chicken and mole combination. I guess it was the Tia Maria. Once again, I did not notice any spiciness . I was also provided with a container of four fresh, warm, flour tortillas. While I'm not a fan of flour tortillas these were the best flour tortillas I've ever encountered. My wife ordered the Tacos Al Pastor ($21), choosing steak over pork or chicken, topped with pico de gallo and fresh cabbage in corn tortillas. The three tacos were also served with rice, lettuce, and tomato. The red salsa served on the side had no spiciness. However, a second container of salsa more brownish in color had plenty of spiciness. She was very pleased with her meal. One additional item on the dessert list called out to me from the moment I saw it on the menu. Sopapillas ($9), as served here, they are triangular shaped pastry dusted with cinnamon sugar, whipped cream, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They were tasty and enjoyable but nothing like what I first encountered in a Mexican restaurant more than 55 years ago in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There they were a basket of fried dough morsels served to us before our meal, with honey to be poured on them. YUM! Overall, we were pleased with our Tex-Mex experience and are very likely to return to try some additional menu items. If you want spicy, be sure to request the appropriate salsa.

This version wasn't the usual shaved ribeye. it was thinly sliced, incredibly tender, and seasoned to perfection. The cheese sauce was rich and flavorful. My only critique is the roll, it was super soft, so the juicy meat and cheese made it a little soggy. Still, the flavor more than made up for it, easily a 4 out of 5 on the sandwich alone. The rest of the experience? Absolute 10. They know how to season their food, and the variety of sauces they offer takes things to the next level. My husband tried the beer flight and loved it. We sat outside, and the whole place had such a fun, laid-back energy. We're not from the area, but if we were, this would be a weekly go-to.
