I thought to make it easier, we would just point to what looked good and he could charge us whatever but after a minute or two, he went to the back kitchen and an older gentleman came out who did speak English. He told us that we had a choice of three rice and a meat selection. So I went with oxtail and he went steak. We both got the yellow rice. You also get a choice of beans on top of the rice. I opted for no beans. I thought the portion size was good (lots of rice). Oxtail was fine but not fall-off-the-bone good. I would have liked more sauce. The steak was also fine and had a distinctive spice which we could not figure out. We ate outside on the picnic table. There is not much seating inside. After finishing our meal, I went to use the restroom. The toilet was not nailed down so when you sit, there is a loud sound as it hits the floor. There was also no toilet paper or paper towels. I guess I could have asked but then I would have to encounter the language issue again. Luckily I had extra napkins in my purse!

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!

The bartender Josiah was super efficient and really nice to chat with throughout dinner. We started with the chips and salsa and ordered the char grilled steak quesadilla and steak burrito, both of which you could make into a meal with rice, beans, and a side salad. Everything was fantastic, fresh and light, and didn't sit heavy after dinner at all. Steak was so tender and I got medium. You can tell the effort they put into the ingredients and the food. So many other options that I'd love to try from the menu. They also have great drink options as well. Highly recommend for dinner, date night, or any celebration!

But that Steakhouse has been lonnnnng gone and made way for Sky View Mexican Res't. We'd just gotten in under an hour before closing on a Thursday night and were welcomed with a smile and open arms. This bright, unfussy restaurant offers all the crowd-pleasing classics you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant (think guacamole, tacos, margaritas, etc) but made with their own tasty flair. The ceilings are high and the space is big. I'd like to come here during the day just for old times' sake (though the surrounding feel outside has changed). Chips+Salsa complimentary did the job and the Guacamole, came out like a minute after we ordered. Hmmm. Plus it was filled with A LOT of big, diced tomatoes. My Tamarind frozen Margarita with a tajin rim, was something special. So if you aren't opting for a frozen margarita with your Mexican meal, then you just aren't doing it right. Just make sure you ask for your drink to be strong- otherwise, it won't do the job. The Tamarindo used here is so true- and you won't get any of that bottled "mixer" shit. The tajin was great- I mean...this was a sure-shot hit. Hubs decided on the Shrimp-Beef-Chicken Fajita mix- which he loved. There was so much of it, he ended bringing some home. My garlic shrimp was done in a seasony and tasty sauce and the accompanying rice side, was on point. Kernels had a nice firm feel- and thank goodness it wasn't mushy. This place may not be the most talked about or offers boundary-pushing dishes- but service from Maria was great and the food was good too.

Barbacoa taco was really tasty. Good meat. Good accoutrements decent size for the price. If I could do it over I would get crispy shell. I felt the online menu posted on the website does not really show all the shell choices. Steak quesadilla was fairly priced which is why I got it. I liked the fillings even though I thought it was a little small. Should I be forced to come back id get the kids chicken tacos. The chicken was really tasty and loaded full. I didn't try but the enchilada people loved their enchiladas. Good use of vegetables inside. I liked the texture of the flan. It's a little tricky to get right so I can respect. Honestly I like my flan on the firmer side which it was. Margaritas are really strong. I get why they do half pitchers because full ones would definitely be finishers. Ingredients are fresh but honestly a little underwhelming. Overall the meal was decent enough but way overpriced. Possibly could be a case of it being 2025 though.
