Stopped in for happy hour & was seated right away. Our waitress was absolutely amazing! Gave great suggestions as well. The hudson river view with a breeze topped it off for the happy Hour experience as well. Food is pretty pricy but happy hour deals are good. The beso fries are so delicious. The blood orange margarita is also a must try! read more

I've been to Beso Taco Bar twice, hoping my opinion would change, but unfortunately it hasn't. In my experience, the food is overpriced for what you get. The portions are quite small, and while everything looked nice, I felt the flavors were underwhelming. The music is extremely loud, which made it difficult to have a conversation, and the service wasn't very attentive during either visit. On my last visit, I asked for salsa with my tacos, and no one mentioned there would be an extra charge. I ended up being charged for three very small portions, which was disappointing since I would have appreciated knowing beforehand. The restaurant also didn't seem as clean as I expected, especially the bathrooms, which could definitely use more attention. Overall, I really wanted to like this place because it has a fun atmosphere and a great location, but after two visits, it just wasn't worth the price for me. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Beso Taco Bar - Mexican Near Me - Newburgh, New York

Came in for happy hour & had a mixed experience. It took longer than expected to get seated, even though the restaurant wasn't busy, and the service could have been more attentive throughout the visit. The drinks were strong, which was a plus. We also enjoyed the shrimp ceviche..it was fresh, flavorful, and had a nice spicy kick. The happy hour tacos were tasty as well. One downside was that the restaurant had run out of mezcal, which was disappointing since many of the cocktails on the menu featured it. Overall, the food and drinks were good, but the service and lack of key menu ingredients brought the experience down. I'd still consider giving it another try to sample other menu items. read more

Beso Taco Bar is a great spot right on the Hudson River with an unbeatable view and really fun vibe. The service was friendly and attentive. That said, the food was a little underwhelming overall, and like many other reviews mention, the tacos were surprisingly small for the price. Definitely worth checking out during happy hour when the pricing feels much more reasonable, but harder to justify at full price for the portion sizes. Still, the atmosphere, waterfront setting, and energy make it a spot worth visiting during the warmer months read more

Beso has a cute "you're on vacation somewhere warm" vibe. It's right on the waterfront which is fun and relaxing. The staff is friendly and they have a nice happy hour. $1 tacos which is great if you're hungry and want to load up on cheap food but keep in mind... they are $1 for a reason so don't get too excited. They do have great drinks. Ask for the watermelon marg with a Tajín rim... life changing! read more

Everything was lovely! The location, the food , the service and the ambience! We ordered tacos...tuna , crispy fish, and short rib. We also got their Mexican corn, off the cob, so so good! We will be back! read more

Ate her today and the food is very fresh and delicious. Staff is nice. Drinks were okay. Wasn't thrilled that my white sangria was orange. It was more like a mimosa. The beef taco appetizer was delicious and so was the fried fish taco. So, so, so good. The whole branzino with fresh salad was delicious and prepared to taste. The restaurant is on the Hudson. A definite ambiance for dining. I just love eating by the water. Will definitely come again. read more

Came in for Happy Hour and it was great. We ordered a lot of carnitas tacos, that was the hit of the table, the carnitas were tender and delicious. The charcoal chicken tacos were also good, a sweetness to them with the pineapple added. The chips and guacamole was great, fresh guacamole never misses. I had three margaritas: Blood Orange, Passion Fruit and Pina en Fuego was my favorite. Customer service was prompt. Tori and Ariel were polite and friendly coming and going making sure if we needed anything. Mike and Keith were quick in anything we ordered whether it was food or drinks. The place was packed but the vibe was easy going with a well balanced playlist to set the mood. Overall it was a bit chaotic for our table, I couldn't het pictures of everything we got but I enjoyed the food and the experience. I'll definitely come back for summer time. read more

Not a bad spot here! Competing with the rival Hudson Taco Bar, we came here because their wait time was was shorter than the other spot. I was pleased to receive good service, fair prices, and a nice view right on the Hudson! Their guacamole and chips were delicious, along with their Mexican street corn (which you can have on or off the cob). Among the trio of tacos I got (chorizo, crispy fish, and tuna tataki), I have ti day ghe chorizo and tuna tataki really stood out to me. Overall a great experience for us! I just wish portions were a tad larger. read more

This was my first time in Newburgh, and I came up specifically to try this spot. It's super cute and trendy, with a great vibe. They don't take reservations, and when we arrived, the quoted wait time was 45 minutes--but luckily, we were seated in just 20. Our waitress was a doll, she checked in on us frequently and gave great recommendations. At first, the taco portions looked small, and we were a bit skeptical, but the food turned out to be just the right amount. I had the crispy fish and the birria tacos--both were excellent! Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly done. Definitely worth the trip. Bonus: they have happy hour every day, which is always a plus! read more

I drove here from Queens for my friend's birthday (almost two hours) since they have a pretty good happy hour deal. $1 tacos and $7 margaritas. The place inside was aesthetically very beautiful with a gorgeous outdoor view of the Hudson River. It was a pretty large party (9 people) and we all ordered food and drinks. Some of us ordered off the happy hour and some ordered items off the regular menu. I ordered a duck taco, chicken al pastor taco and a carnitas taco. Honestly, the duck taco was underwhelming and lacked flavor. The chicken al pastor was very tasty as well as the carnitas. The tacos, keep in mind, are very tiny. You need around 4-5 to get you somewhat full. The only $1 tacos are the chicken al pastor, carnitas and veggie. I ordered their watermelon margarita off the happy hour and was disappointed. It was very watered down. I tried their blood orange margarita and it was much better but nothing impressive. Our waitress did let us know that they were understaffed and I felt really bad since I saw her serving tables and bartending. Although she was overwhelmed, what I didn't like was that no one passed by to check on our table even though we wanted more drinks and food. She would stop by every 45 minutes to an hour. I saw the manager pass by several tables but never ours. I did ask to speak to the manager and explained the situation how we did not have the best experience. He did provide us with a gift card for the trouble which I thought was a nice gesture. I'm not sure if I would come back since it is very far from me but if I'm ever in the area, I would give it another chance to see if it was just an off day. read more

Came here for a birthday gathering. First time for me. It was really nice place, nice atmosphere and right on the water. View was beautiful. Food was great and service was good. Drinks were tasty too only thing I didn't like was the fact there were only 2 bathrooms, so fora place that gets busy, that kinda sucks. So prepare to wait in line. Other than that, I would definitely come back. read more

I come here quite regularly, specifically for the happy hour. The tacos and margs are consistently good, it's clean, good ambiance, good playlist. Another consistent is our server, Kerry. We're constantly in that back booth having a good time and Kerry is both kind and professional, always takes such good care of us, and checks on us at all the right times for refills on margs or tacos. She's the reason I decided to write another review. I literally come with new friends, same friends, and we have the same good time in different fonts, and she's always solid. We always really appreciate her. Thanks girl! You're the gem of Beso. See ya soon haha read more

What I love: - waterfront views and lovely ambience - delicious tacos - absolutely delectable margs - friendly service What I recommend: - all the tacos, but especially the Al Pastor, Birria, duck, and tuna tacos are MUST-tries - queso fundido - tres leches cake - churros - the Beso margarita The views combined with the delicious food has earned Beso a spot on our favorites list, and we've been back multiple times. Love Beso! read more

We were excited to check out happy hour here and made a point to rush over after work, only to be told when we arrived that happy hour is bar seating only. Unfortunately, this important detail isn't mentioned anywhere on their menu or online. It was disappointing to be turned away after the effort to get here on time. I hope they update their menu and website to clearly state happy hour is limited to the bar -- it would save guests a lot of confusion and frustration. That said, the place looked great and we're open to giving it another try -- just wish the communication had been clearer. read more

You can't beat the happy hour. Not sure how much I would love it at regular prices, but it's a win for HH. The vibe inside is super cute too, and they have fun and interesting margarita flavors. read more

Water front is amazing- fish tacos are official! Had to order 2 more Stay to the strip because a mile away the area can get shady. The restaurant location along with the others is not bad at all and especially if you like the water ambient. Victoria was great as well and always attended us. Pińa colada and Margarita was great also. I would come back. Btw the chicken tacos amazing also but the fish? Uffggg read more

First time at Beso this past weekend and I was really excited to try it. Unfortunately, it was probably some of the worst service I've ever experienced and I say that as someone who's worked in the industry for years, so I always try to be understanding when places are busy. Our waitress was dismissive and rude when we asked about allergies related to certain menu items, even telling us that "chips" were the only dairy-free option on the menu despite there being vegan items available. We also ordered dessert, which never came, and waited over 30 minutes for the check, having to ask twice for it. At one point, an employee almost left another party's dirty plates on our table and never cleaned ours off either. The bright spot was that the food and drinks were genuinely good, which is why I'd still be willing to give Beso another chance. Hopefully this was just an off night. read more

Wow ! What a spot. My girlfriend and I stopped by for lunch and a drink, the weather was a bit windy but it was still nice to be able to sit and see the water. Not many people on a Saturday afternoon but I'm sure once there is better weather that will change. The decor and vibes of this place were so nice. The food was okay. Nothing special. I enjoyed the dessertthe most, the churros .. omg the best! I will be back for more this summer! read more

This place is definitely decorated in such a vibey way. It's right on the water and it seems that you can open the windows fully for one of those indoor out door experiences. The actual restaurant isn't that big. There is a nice bar in the middle and the service was great. Our waitress was very nice and patient. We got a few appetizers for our table including the guacamole and the shrimp ceviche. I liked both of them! For the drink I got the night in tulum. It wasn't my favorite. It was a gin based drink with blue curaçao but it had this interesting slushy consistency. I would never of thought my drink would look the way they did based on the description on the menu. I wish I would have ordered a different drink, it wasn't my favorites This isn't to say all the drinks are bad I tried my friends and some of them were fantastic and others were just okay. They all looked very pretty though. As for the tacos they range from about $3-$6. They are tiny but they were all delicious. I got the duck, carne asada, and the ahi tuna taco. Let me tell you that ahi tuna taco is something I still dream about! It was 10/10 amazing, like hands down one of the best tacos Ive ever had. I also had the besos fries which were curly fries with like this chipotle mayo sauce on it and a pico. They were delicious but I wish it had more sauce on it. All in all it was a good experience. I didn't like how all the tacos came out mixed together. We were a table of about 10 people so with everything coming out mixed together it did get confusing trying to figure out who had what taco. I definitely see my self coming back to this place. It's pretty and the food was pretty good! I don't know if they have a happy hour but if they did this place would be fantastic. read more

Food was really good. Too bad the service was horrendous. We sat at the bar and the bartender never asked if we wanted more drinks while our glasses sat empty for 45 minutes and had to hail him for our entree orders. In addition, while making our drinks we had to hail him several times to make, he stopped to spend nearly 5 minutes on his cell phone with our full glasses sitting in the service bar just needing the lime garnish. I will never sit at the bar again at this restaurant. The staff appears more interested in their social life than their jobs or their guests. Blasting music in a nearly empty restaurant making it hard to talk with my friend was also a big turn off. read more

Ambiance and service was great...but I was very shocked at just how SMALL a taco could be. I ordered a shrimp and fish taco. Both were $3.98. Both corn tortillas the tacos were made with were the size of a medium apple. I had ONE shrimp on my shrimp taco and a pinky sized piece of fish on my fish taco. Never again. If I want tacos on the waterfront I'll be headed to Hudson Taco. read more

I want to start by saying that I truly enjoy coming to your establishment and have been a loyal customer for some time. However, I had an experience yesterday--Saturday, May 10--that was very upsetting. During our visit, we noticed that our waitress was spending a lot of time with a nearby table of four women who appeared to be her friends. She only came to our table once to ask if everything was okay, which struck us as unusual because the service is always amazing. Both our table and theirs ordered similar items: a pitcher of sangria, a meat platter, and tacos. However, when we received our bill, it totaled $320 for just three people--far more than expected. The waitress quickly charged the card, and the other table left right after. At my wife's request, we asked to see the bill again. That's when we realized we were charged for both our meal and the meal of the other table--seemingly giving her friends a free meal at our expense. This situation is not only deeply disappointing but also illegal. I'm hoping this was a misunderstanding, but I would appreciate a prompt review of the transaction and a clear explanation. Pls review the cameras from 7pm to about 1030pm when we left. The manager was informed about the situation, apologized sincerely, and covered our bill, which I appreciated. I truly hope this was an isolated incident, but I was shocked by the audacity of the waitress to add over $170 to our bill for what appeared to be her friends. It was completely unacceptable." I don't want to post the name of the waitress but I do have a copy of the voided check. read more

The food and service are always great. Drinks are amazing. Great happy hour. Nice atmosphere and beautiful view of the Hudson River.

I was starving and it's always so hard to find a restaurant open on Monday or Tueaday. Beso popped up and it wasn't on my list yet. I sat in the opening area to have a night view of the Hudson. The decor is really cute, frilly, and fun. They have a good selection of different food. Qith the apps and small plates, i could try a few things. I ended up with a 2 oz chorizo taco and 2 oz carnitas taco. Both good. Chorizo wasn't too greasy and both had great flavor. The Queso Fundido with the flour tortillas was very hot, so cheesy and very filling. My favorite was the Empanada. Decent size, cheesy, had a kick and the outside was perfectly crunchy. My server was awesome and checked on me frequently. Great experience. read more

Beso Taco Bar has an amazing view looking over the river, it definitely adds to a relaxing evening. They had a very nice variety of taco's, of which I tried the steak and carnitas, they weren't the best in the world, but very satisfying. The queso fundido came out boiling, a bit too hot I think, it completely boiled the oil out of the cheese. The cocktails were very well made though. read more

The ambiance was awesome-- the music was good, the space is pretty, and the views are amazing. The food was average-- it was fine but not particularly special or delicious. Overall -- I definitely recommend trying out Beso--its such a cool and fun vibe. read more

My husband and I have been to Beso's several times. Food is always great. We usually sit at the bar and have always had great service. Unfortunately tonight that is not the case. Food was served quickly and was delicious. But the bartender was having a bad night. Several mistakes were made and she seemed distracted. She did call her manager a few times for help and he did come quickly. He is also the manager at the next door restaurant Blu Point which was his main focus. The bartender clearly needed help and he did not see it. We had a gift certificate that got put in wrong and the manager came over to help but did it quickly and couldn't get back to the other restaurant fast enough. Unfortunately we will not be back for a while. I do not blame the bartender who clearly needed help this particular evening, I blame management. Have a manager on sight at Beso or spend the time to help out. We are not the only couple who noticed this as there were definitely others at the bar who had the same opinion. read more

Been here twice now and it's quickly becoming a local favorite eating spot. The decor begins with incredibly inviting views of the Hudson River and Beacon shoreline with stunning mountains in the distance. The restaurant itself has an urban tropical feel to it. The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. It happened to be national margarita day and she brought us each a margarita to start the night with. Our margarita had plenty of salt and a refreshing, not too sweet flavor. My husband and I shared our night with the ahi tuna appetizer. It was clean and refreshing. I also had to order their duck tacos. I have a grain allergy, so I requested my duck tacos come in a lettuce wrap instead of a corn tortilla. I love duck and these tacos do not disappoint. My husband and I shared the asada mixed grill for our entree and it was enough for the two of us. It comes with chicken, chorizo, carne, lamb, veggies, and tortillas. The meats were all well seasoned and delicious. Juicy, tender, flavorful. It also came with a smoked chipotle salsa that complimented each portion of the dish. If you're looking for something new on the Newburgh Waterfront, I highly recommend Besos Taco Bar. The drinks, food and ambiance will not disappoint! read more

Service was great, I loved the recommendations by the servers,The drinks were good, but I had to tell her to make it a bit stronger. I expected my street corn to be more authentic, less tajin and crums, and more mayo and cheese. I wished for a little more meat and cheese in my empanadas. My cheviche had a lot of tomato sauce, I'm used to it being more traditional. All in all, it was a cool vibe, and we will definitely return. Loved the ambiance. That's what drew me in. read more

Fantastic Mexican food with such a stunning view!! We sat on their heated patio and couldn't stop taking in the breathtaking mountains and Hudson River next to our table. It was a chilly day, but they kept the heat at the perfect temperature, so we were super comfortable. The restaurant is also so beautifully decorated inside! The whole experience made us dream of warmer days. Our server was so attentive and friendly - he made an effort to talk to us besides just getting our orders! Lots of shareable dishes here, which was nice because I visited with my parents. Highlights included the queso fundido and asada mixed grill! This was such a nice lunch outing on our day off from work, and I'll definitely be keeping it in mind to visit again when the weather warms up! read more

Super cute little place with a stylish bar and upscale tropical vibe, and right on the Hudson River (views!). The tacos are small but pretty good. I'm from SoCal and that means something! Actually everything was tasty, including the guac (again- important). I love the variety of margaritas and they are delicious. Super huge bonus- on Friday they have a DJ that comes in at like 10 and people just get up and dance in whatever space they can find. It has a sort of locals vibe and I love it! read more

The Birria; short rib beef taco was absolutely delicious; so good I ordered another. Duck tacos were too soft, almost gummy, while the outer edges of the tacos were hard. The duck meat filling was too wet with sauce, although the flavors were delicious. Yucca fries were crispy and fresh, served with chamoy mayonnaise which was bubblegum pink from the hibiscus flowers they are made from. There was a lot of action at the bar, drinks looked very tasty. although I didn't order one this time. The waitstaff were patient and personable! Looking forward to returning to this Hudson Riverfront spot! read more
