Stopped in here off a recommendation from a friend on our way up to Hudson from Newark. I was…read moreshocked to find that there was good Mexican food in upstate NY and good Oaxacan food at that? So random, but I'm not mad at it. My husband has been craving milanesa so he got the chicken milanesa torta. Any sandwich that comes with beans is an automatic winner in my book. I got the tlayuda to satisfy my bean craving. It was huge! I had to take some of it as leftovers. I loved how spicy the brown salsa on top was and it had a great crunch. The waiter was so friendly and sweet and took great care of us. I wish we were closer so we could patronize this establishment more often!

The guacamole dip, however, revived me. That was actually excellent and freshly made. Tacos? Were mid. And I'm a taco enthusiast. I just simply had better tacos I won't go into much detail on it. Waiter? (seemingly the manager or owner) was nice. Hostess couldn't care less to seat us. I think this place is fairly new so I give it the benefit of the doubt, but I had better. 6.2/10 is the review

This super orange spot however, is hard to miss located on Old Route 299 in Highland, NY. And the interior at Órale M., is just as colorful with Mexican ceiling banners and wall murals. At $16 or so for small, 'street-style' shrimp tacos, they were a bit more than what I wanted to pay- but hey...seafood prices right? The doubly-ply tacos were filled with diced and succulent+seasony shrimp. The right amount of veg was nice too. I've been to Mexican spots where tomato+onions+cilantro overpowers the protein- but not here which I liked. Shrimp tails were cooked with the cut up shrimp and not sure if this was an oversight(?) or, just how they do(?). The meal was comforting at least..... without the tails of course. My diluted-looking horchata had wonderful taste- but, service was nice and so were the complimentary chips and salsa.

Since they are already finalists, according to James Beard, I'll spend this review explaining more…read morewhy I only gave it three stars. The food in general was well prepared, delicious and certainly had a sophisticated knowledge of spicing in flavoring. But it's more the minor details that stops an experience from being a really wonderful one. So here are some details, you may think I'm crazy or you may relate. The first was coffee: they didn't have decaf and they don't have half-and-half. I'm not going to speculate why, but for quite a few of us decaf is a true pleasure and it'd be nice to have that available. To the waitresses credit she offered to bring me milk and cream, so I could make my own half-and-half? That was a first! The second was the hot chocolate: the actual hot chocolate was quite delicious, Mexican style with some cinnamon. But it was topped with a mountain of whipped cream and some small crunchy pieces. I think it's pretty standard nowadays that when you're going to top a drink like that the staff tends to ask whether you like whipped cream or not. I really dislike whipped cream so had to scoop all that stuff off. The next one was just simply funny: when you're ordering a side order of eggs, one option they list on the menu is a sunny side up egg, one of the other options is to have a "fried egg". I asked the waitress what exactly a fried egg was, she didn't know. She asked the chef, and apparently they didn't know either. So I ordered it over easy, hoping that was doable, but I just got a sunny side up egg instead. And lastly, was the ambience: the space is quite nice and comfortable, but if you're sitting in the outer ring near the windows and it's a very cold winter day (which it was when we ate) expect to be cold in there. They kindly offered to hang our coats, but I had to keep mine on the whole time. Maybe if the insulation and heating system is unable to keep up, you bring in a couple space heaters for the day?

The space is beautiful, ingredients are all fresh and outstanding, and there's clearly a love for the spot from everyone working at Casa Susanna. The cocktail menu is unique and fun. Yes you could get a margarita, but everything on the menu is so interesting from Raicilla drinks to Carajillos, there's so much to love. The space feels like a film set and you need to make sure you get a reservation so you can enjoy rather than sitting outside or at the bar. Surprisingly reservations were harder to come by than expected the weekend I was there. The dishes are all great, with the Duck being my standout dish, just perfectly cooked and really exemplifying the beauty of Hudson Valley + Mexican cuisine. The tetela was also a real standout despite the simplicity of the dish. It leaned into good mexican food, withou ttrying to do too much. Each and every cocktail was fun and good! We'll be back, but not too often. The prices are high, and match the quality of the ingredients, but at $100 a person or more, it was not cheap.

Unfortunately this place fell a bit flat to me. The guacamole was not good, it just tasted like…read morepure mashed avocado to me without enough cilantro, onion and lime to give it that beautiful flavor. The salsa was alright but too spicy for me personally and the quesadilla was okay but was a bit soggy and kept falling apart. I know it's hard to keep a quesadilla together but I think it just needed a bit more toasting and cheese to bind it all together. I loved the decor inside though, I enjoyed the chandelier made of bottles and the overall festive, authentic looking vibe!
