I've encountered regional Mexican cuisine that incorporates clove before, but not to this extent or across so many menu items. The flavor profile was unexpected and, for me, a bit overwhelming. Overall, the food was just okay. The restaurant was packed, so it's clearly doing something right for many diners. The staff was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service, which definitely added to the experience. While the food wasn't quite my style, the welcoming atmosphere and hardworking team deserve recognition.

I'll be honest, I was disappointed by my experience here. I absolutely love Mexican food and, being…read morenew to the area, was excited to see this business with an immaculate reputation on Yelp. I did come at an in-between time (around 3pm), so it's possible that this was a one-off, but it was so meh that I'm not sure I'll be back to give it another shot (if I do, I'll come right at lunch or dinner time). The good: the mole was fantastic! Even with a mediocre meal, this stood out as amazing. The portions were generous. I thought at one point the woman asked if I wanted chicken or beef enchiladas, and having never had beef enchiladas I said "beef please." It turns out, I received chicken enchiladas with a portion of skirt steak on top (see photo). Again, very generous. The decor was lively. The misses: The beans were quite bland, to the point where I was surprised...it's such a foundational element of Mexican cuisine, but they needed more spices / a touch more salt. Also, my wife ordered the veggie wrap and it was bland. It contained lots of different vegetables, but somehow they weren't seasoned. I know vegetarian burritos aren't all the craze, but when I took a bite of it, I agreed...it was just vegetables, no seasoning at all. Nice to have it on the menu for folks like my wife, but why not season them first? Maybe it was an oversight. The horchata was different from what I've had in the past...not bad, but not something I would recommend either. It was watery, lacked any cinnamon flavor, and had ground almond on top, which was interesting (maybe this is regional?). Without the dynamite mole and the generous portions, this would be a 2 star review, but I can't, in good conscience, give less than 3 stars with mole like that. But the beans...womp womp.

5 STARS - The Best Mexican in Poughkeepsie!…read more Whenever I come to Poughkeepsie to visit my parents, we LOVE getting takeout from here. The Mexican food is honestly the BEST in Poughkeepsie -- fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. I live in Miami Beach, and there's only one good Mexican spot near me, so finding this place was such a treat. The quality and authenticity here are on another level. The inside is really cute, warm, and inviting, and the patio is lovely when the weather is nice. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, everything is consistently amazing. Service is beyond friendly and amazing! Absolutely one of my favorite spots in the area. Highly, highly recommend!

We ordered from our AirBnB before driving the 20 minutes over to Upstate Taco and got quite a few options to try. I got the Taco de Vegetales and the Mula de Ninos. I wasn't quite expecting another layer of corn between the two tortillas in my Mula, but it was delicious and very filling. I also wish I had gotten more tacos! My husband got the Quesaburro de Vegetales and it was giant, but he said it was delicious so he was happy. We also got chips and salsa which we enjoyed. The restaurant has seating both indoors and outdoors, but we wanted to eat at our AirBnB so that is what we did. I also got a Horchata which was pretty phenomenal! I would definitely stop here again if we were in the area.

We wanted to try something unique, so we ordered a tlayuda with tasajo to share between the two of us. It was incredible! The flavors combined beautifully, and it checked every box: huge, perfectly crunchy, and packed with flavor (though we did add their excellent salsas to kick it up a notch). The tasajo was fantastic, with a subtle, savory richness. The space is small with about 4 tables inside, and they stayed busy with takeout orders while we were there. I would absolutely eat in again just to enjoy the complimentary chips and amazing fresh salsa. The server was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the decor made the atmosphere feel warm and inviting. I'll definitely be back to try more unique items off the menu!

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.

I went for their country rodeo night, and I was excited: outdoor activities, mechanical bull, country music. Count me in. I was meeting a few friends there and when I arrived there was a huge crowd of people outside, it looked fun and lively but my friends warned me off the bat it was tough trying to get a drink. From the size of the crowd I wasn't surprised and I've been around enough to know sometimes it be like that. When I went inside however it was far less crowded than I expected, there were even a few tables open and a perfect spot to order at the corner of the bar. So you'll understand my frustration when I was made to wait 25+ minutes for a drink, so long that my girlfriend was worried and came looking for me. Again, the bar itself was not nearly as busy as it should've been for me to wait 25+ minutes to be served. What made it all worse was being forced to watch the bartenders check their phones (as though bored), talk to and record TikToks for their friends, and joke with each other. On top of that was the fact that clearly only the two groups of ten or so people were being repeatedly served who clearly were friends with the bartenders. I looked around me to see several other patrons clearly in the same situation. Then finally after an eternity of being outright ignored one of the staff made eye contact and came over for our order. Here's the real kicker: As soon as I started to order one of the bartenders and a random guy with a camera setup started yelling at to shut the $$$$ up so that they could do the mannequin challenge (10 year old trend btw). My drinks were forgotten about for the time being and I was forced to sit there at the bar counter being recorded or lose my place. Swear to God it was like a humiliation ritual lol. Mind you I played along and was polite the whole time waiting. When I finally got my drinks, shortly after my girlfriend came to check on me, the bartender practically threw the checkbook at us and walked off with a disgruntled attitude. So yeah it didn't help that we had to then wait for somebody to come back and take my card to pay for the actual drinks. So fairly enough I was pissed man, it was clear to me that the bar staff were poorly trained (or just inexperienced), unhygienic, rude, and were there to cater to their friends instead of serve people coming there for the first time as I had. The rest of the night was fine; the DJ was great, and me and my friends had a good time hanging outside until we finished our drinks and left. My friends described a similar though not as grating experience. Pleasant Valley deserves better in my opinion and I would not recommend this bar to anyone with finite patience or time on their hands. The initial experience really almost ruined part of the night for me I can't lie. Do not come here, there are better bars.
