The staff went out of their way to make our family comfortable, and the extra napkins, crayons, and thoughtful attention did not go unnoticed. Food Traveling with a toddler often means settling for chicken fingers and fries, but not here. Our little one happily sampled a variety of dishes, especially the yellow rice and guacamole. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the taco platter, and the salmon was surprisingly excellent. Overall A restaurant that keeps both parents and toddlers happy is a rare find. Great food, warm service, and plenty to keep little eyes busy. We had a fantastic experience and hope to be back the next time we're in Saugerties!

The only thing missing from this beautiful and festive fiesta I am at is la eats! Mi amigos decide that Tello's is the food of choice for this afternoon which was a great idea because it was located only about a block away. We called to order. A small menu but lots of variety. Quesadillas, burritos, and chimichangas (which I heard are not that great). Also plenty of vegetarian options which is perfect for me and also a "Bard college special" for the awesome collegiate establishment located a few minutes away. Calling in an order for 5 people to an establishment that lacks English speaking employees is muy dificil to say the least. Lucky for me I was not designated food orderer. Bless my darling's heart. She struggled through that order, having to repeat her self numerous times but after about 5 minutes the order was placed. Just about everything on the menu is $7. Can't beat that. Totally a reasonable price for how full you're going to be after consuming your meal. We sat around for 15 to 20 minutes and then took the short walk over there. A small restaurant with 4 or 5 tables. Not much decoration or anything fancy and a refrigerated area with drinks. We wanted to split the bill. There is a 10$ minimum for credit card purchases and as I said before the employees need a little help with the English language. Took a while, but after slight confusion everything was paid for and we scurried out complete with my "Chipotle or Mole" veggie burrito and a whole lot of green sauce and guac. When I munched into my first bite...Heavenly. I love burritos. Once I found the right hot sauce to dash on there it was nothing short of what I had been longing for all week. I was not at all dissatisfied with that wonderful burrito. It was huge, compactly rolled in foil, and stocked with beans and flavor. Different from Chipotle which happens to be my favoritest BUT for surely chipotle-esque yet tasted a tad fresher and healthier. It probably isn't. But the ingredients definitely tasted like they were plucked right out of a day laborer's basket that A.M.. They also mention on el menu that the ingreds are fresh when the season permits (maybe that fresh image just made it seem fresher.. words can play tricks on my mind.) If it wasn't for the language barrier they definitely would have gotten a fifth Estrella out of me. It's 3 days later and I'm still full from that delightful meal. OMG! I almost forgot to mention. They also have chips! Delicious. Warm. Not to oily. Try them!

This place is great! I'm so upset I only discovered it a few months before I graduated…read more The first time I came here, I ordered the chips and guacamole appetizer and a chicken empanada. I wondered why just chips and guac were a whopping $7 but understood when they brought it out -- they give you a TON of fresh made guacamole and fried chips! Seriously, you could taste in a single bite just how fresh the avocados and tomatos in the guac was -- absolutely amazing. The chicken empanada was equally delicious -- the chicken meat inside was tender and bursting with flavor and the outside dough was crunchy. Best of all, they give you a huge empanada for only $1.50!! Their black beans and rice were also delicious. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because I went back at least 3 different times after my first visit and each time, they were out of the chips & guac and the chicken empanadas. Really disappointing, because I had been craving those two dishes ever since I tried them!

If you want great taste and you love…read moreMexican food, then Los Jalapeños, off New Paltz's busy Main St. is going to be here just for you. I don't deviate too much when it comes to Mexican food- as long as I can get solid shrimp tacos, a seafood dish or a vegetarian one, I'm good. There's some serious energy here with colorful pops of sombreros and other Mexican decor. There's also a compact bar area+high chairs with the kitchen's cowboy doors beside it. Even though Jalapeños wasn't buzzing in the early afternoon I was here, I can really see this place popping at night. I mean...the rating and the majority of the writing on this place say it all. Unlike another Mexican spot in Highland I visited in which they served cut-up shrimp with their tails in my tacos, Los Jalapeños' shrimp tacos were NOTHING like that. These are unbelievably juicy, big, seasony, left whole AND there are 2 per taco! They came with a garlicky sauce which caught me by surprise because there was no menu indication and nor was I told about it when I ordered. It was good though- but I did try scraping most off. Regardless, Jalapeños is one Mexican restaurant that calls for consecutive returns with incredibly warm service.

Obsessed with this place! Will be back

Here's a polished review that stays honest while keeping it fair and balanced:…read more Agave in New Paltz offers a modern, fusion-style take on Mexican-inspired cuisine rather than authentic Mexican food. If you're expecting traditional Mexican flavors, just know this restaurant leans more toward upscale fusion than classic Mexican dishes. The food is good, and everything we've tried has been flavorful, although the portions are on the smaller side. The prices are reasonable for the quality and presentation, and the atmosphere has more of a cozy, date-night vibe than a casual Mexican restaurant. One suggestion I'd make is to expand the salsa selection. For a restaurant centered around Mexican-inspired cuisine, offering a few house-made, original salsas would really elevate the experience and make it feel more authentic. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so it's not the best choice for large groups. Parking can also be a challenge since there's no dedicated lot--it's street parking only, so be prepared to drive around until you find a spot. Overall, Agave is a nice place if you're looking for creative fusion dishes in a relaxed setting. Just go in expecting modern Mexican-inspired cuisine rather than traditional Mexican food, and you'll likely enjoy the experience.

Check it out! I made this Yelp listing, since only their original Catskill location shows up here (with 4.5 stars). But the Kingston restaurant is well worth a visit, and imho, is now one of the best options for lunch in the 9W business district area.

We had reservations at Zeus for a graduation dinner that our graduate chose. Sadly we were met with disrespect at that restaurant and left thinking we would just drive 2 hours back home and not eat. As we walked to our cars we stumbled upon Bueno Ventura and thought why not give it a try. We happened to walk in with a party of 8 around 9pm and the host/server Ruby was immediately welcoming like we were family! He told us not to worry and would quickly push tables together to accommodate us. From the first interaction to the very last we had an amazing experience! All thanks to Ruby, from the best food recommendations to the welcome hospitality he showed us truly turned our night around! Not only did he capture the love and respect of our guest, but also made our graduates night! We can't be more thankful for Ruby! He is a gem and truly the heart and soul of this restaurant! We even noticed as other tables left they shouted praises to Ruby and expressed gratitude and love for him. On top of it all the food was amazing! Our table is mostly from California, where we know and love authentic Mexican food and we were very pleased with the food here! We couldn't have had a better night and want to share our utmost gratitude to Ruby and the Buena Vista staff!
