    Nachos
    Jacklyn K.

    Mixed review here for a dinner of 4. Nothing really stood out at Armadillo for us unfortunately. The nachos were super basic though we liked the house salsa! The jalapeño shrimp appetizer was my least favorite dish- shrimp tasted really overcooked and not fresh at all. For entrees we all did a bit of sharing so had a bit of a few dishes! I liked the shrimp quesadillas, the mahi taco special was just ok, a chicken burrito was pretty standard, and the burger was huge and served with really yummy fries. Tried the lavender Moscow mule which was amazing and the coconut marg was also pretty delicious! The meal was pretty pricey for the quality in my opinion. Service was lovely and attentive and the ambiance is casual and colorful but also warm and inviting.

    What a gem! We recently came here for dinner, and we had a great time. We sat outside because the weather was nice on their spacious patio. The service was very attentive, and our server made some great menu suggestions. They have plenty of seating inside as well. The ambience is festive and warm. Everyone was chatty and the mood was light. Everyone working there was super nice and helpful. We were immediately served chips, and two kinds of salsa, which was very yummy. Always appreciate that touch. We both had different kinds of burritos and I would recommend them both. We had the grilled chicken and pork Barbacoa. We asked for more salsa, and it arrived promptly. They also serve pickled vegetables with your meal, which are spicy and totally delicious I would highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back!

    Steak black bean tostada - A salad featuring grilled beef, sliced tomato, lettuce, and a scoop of avocado on a white plate, served with a side of dressing.

    Took a day trip to Kingston and stumbled upon this cute Mexican joint. very glad I came hungry and in the mood for a frozen margarita cuz they delivered. We werent sat down for more than 30 seconds and we were greeted with a basket of chips and two salsas, a sure fire way to my heart. Ordered a frozen margarita (which has many flavoring options) as well as the chipotle mango marg. Both were great. Scarfed down the chips and was brought another basket as well as more salsa almost immediately (normally I'd deny a second basket but they were good chips) we ordered steak fajitas and a steak black bean tostada. The the steak was cooked perfectly, and everything was seasoned to perfection. Ok my mouth is watering writing this. I miss this place already. I have to add, EXCEPTIONAL customer service. The staff was super friendly and alert. Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Kingston.

    5 stars isn't even enough. My fiancé and I came up to Kingston for my birthday and spur of the moment decided to walk to Armadillo for dinner on a Friday night. The food was my DREAM birthday meal and the service was even better. We shared the queso dip, chicken chimichangas and chicken quesadilla. I had the house margarita which was the perfect classic margarita. Guadalupe, the owners wife, was the most accommodating and lovey woman... the best of the best! I believe they are recent new owners. They brought out fried ice cream and sang happy birthday and gave us party hats. We will most certainly be back and will be recommending Armadillo to everyone we know. (We were also told that in the warmer months, they have a patio area that is dog friendly! We'll definitely be back with our pup as well.) Thank you Guadalupe and staff for an excellent experience!

    Love the Armadillo. Been coming here for 20 years. It's not the same as when Merle owned it. The service isn't as friendly but still decent.

    Very disappointing, the food was one big glob of puréed beans (very liquid), rice, cheese, etc, and zero flavor.

    From tacos, burritos, flautas, beverages and a little bit more, this no-frills Mexican truck looks…read morelike it serves food worth planning an errand trip around on this strip. We'd killed two birds with the same stone when hubs had to gas up the 10' U-Haul at Valero on Ulster Ave in Kingston before returning it when I noticed Taste Of M. The heat and humidity were both thick and getting only refreshments while hubs pumped was the right thing to do at that moment. They have mostly beef, chicken and pork dishes- but sometimes they may carry fish for their tacos- so call ahead if fish is your primary protein. If fish is not in that day, these ladies can turn any item on the menu and create a Vegetarian one for you. The Agua de Jamaica for hubs and my Horchata I ordered are huge at $5ea and did the trick nicely. Service is swift then you're good to go. While I didn't go for their eats, this truck might just hit the spot.

For those who don't understand that, it means the United Nations. Yup. It's a great place to dance & grab a quick bite around 42nd or 43rd street. It's way over on the East River, that flat building. Yup. That one! I have been heading quickly towards insanity recently on what people tell me is still planet earth, America but I'm not saying another freakin word here.

This meal of course was from the 2 beauty ladies at Taste of Mexico. Still Here thank God! Yup! Thank you! I am ashamed by the current actions & choices of behavior by my country. An apology will never suffice-be enough. But, I can begin here by saying honestly, I am so sorry! Thank you. Oh holy moly my eyes just started leaking oh a kleenix thanks dragon.
