The only place to go where there's good food, amazing service, & even better Margaritas! We've been coming here for years. Stopped in before the dinner crowd so we can sit st the bar & chat with the owner about anything&everything, the nicest people! I got the enchiladas with rice&beans, so good. 3 Margaritas later, and I definitely rolled out of there!! It's a staple in Kingston to go to Casa Villa! read more

Casa Villa - Coconut Margarita!!! - Mexican Near Me - Kingston, New York

Really loved the bright decor and cozy, warm dining room with a fire place- perfect for winter dinner. Service was friendly and prompt and despite being busy the food came out pretty quick. Menu was interesting with both Mexican and Italian options. Awesome that they have "combination" plates so that you can try a little of everything. Loved the house chips + salsa and I really enjoyed my shrimp rellenos dish! The shrimp enchiladas were also tasty. The shrimp tacos were quite underseasoned and the big boy chipotle burrito was underwhelming per others at the table. I thought the beans were tasty but the rice not as flavorful as I like. The tortilla soup appetizer was soooo delicious and my favorite part of the meal!! We also shared a pitcher of coconut margarita which automatically was prepared frozen not on the rocks which was a bit of a bummer. Overall a pretty tasty meal and positive experience at Casa Villa read more

The very favorable recommendations of our NY family (that we're visiting) took us to Casa Villa. CV has a quaint dining area and a full service bar. The servers are friendly and helpful. We had a group of 8 and they seated us right away. The coconut flavored frozen margaritas were delicious. Same for the fresh guacamole and chips. My wife had chili rellenos and she said they were among the best ever. I had steak tacos and the steak chunks were tender and tasty. read more

Great SERVICE. Great food and they don't charge extra for Salsa and chips. Santa Fe in Woodstock does! No other Mexican restaurants in the area do. Casa villa food is good, affordable and value on the plate. The guacamole is plentiful and fresh just as good as the guacamole from another great Mexican restaurant, Gaby's. Their Margaritas are wonderful! Try a pitcher! We have never had a bad meal there! When we crave enchiladas and burritos we always choose Casa Villa! Oh and I might say that the atmosphere is quiet and family friendly as the bar area is separate. I love Casa Villa! read more

Casa Villa - Drinks - Mexican Near Me - Kingston, New York

Excellent food friendly staff owner very friendly service was superb highly recommend this restaurant

The food was excellent! The host/bartender was extremely friendly and the service was great. Turns out he is the owner. Will definitely be back again read more

What a really great hidden gem! The food here is top notch and easily takes the cake over other more popular spots in the area. Secretly I am kind of glad not many people realize this so it is never too crowded and the service is always extremely attentive. If you're in a drinking mood (and who isn't these days?) you have to try one of their frozen margaritas. You can get these as a single or by the pitcher and they are equally as delicious as the food you will be eating shortly thereafter. In the warmer months they have a nice serene little patio out back that makes you feel like you are anywhere but the city of Kingston. Definitely a spot to check out and worth every penny! read more

Oh My! This is definitely a diamond in the rough. By far one of the best Mexican restaurant I've had and this is definitely the best in the area. One thing I keep ordering here is their chimichangas (One group beef and one chicken chimichanga. Served with guacamole and sour cream.) under their combination dinners. This also comes with rice and beans. They serve chips and salsa before your meal comes out. Servers are tentative and give awesome suggestions. What more can I say about this place? I dream about coming back here and savoring the taste like it's the last supper. read more

Good spot for food - while I wasn't floored by the food, I wasn't disappointed either. What really earned the 4th star was the waiter - he was the only person waiting tables, he didn't write anything down and he got everyone's orders correct. He was super friendly, made great recommendations, and was attentive without being obtrusive. I liked that the menu had options other than standard "restaurant Mexican," so I feel like I could bring my whole family and nobody would be put out by the choice. The portions were also perfect - the Botana Mexicana for Two really was perfectly sized for the two of us. Our only (very minor) complaint was that there wasn't enough meat on the nachos to bother with - if it wasn't there, I wouldn't have missed it, but since it was there, there should've been more. I will go back, for sure. The decor was beautiful and the service was great. I really want to try their margaritas! read more

One of my favorite Mexican food restaurants!! There is a great back patio. The service is wonderful! We ordered the taco dinner, three enchiladas dinner and the enchiladas with mole sauce. There are many great dishes!! This is always a favorite go to!! read more

Always great fresh food, awesome drinks, wonderful atomosphere and always friendly and helpful staff

My wife and I enjoyed our first visit to Casa Villa today. The owners Jose and Cassandra were extremely friendly. The Margaritas were great and the food was delicious. read more

Must try the sopapilla! I stumbled upon this place while on a road trip. At first, it may seem like any other house in the neighborhood. The entrance is toward the back of the parking lot. My friend and I were courteously greeted and seated right away. It took us a few minutes to decide what we wanted to eat, so the waitress brought us water and chips and salsa. I ordered a margarita on the rocks with salt. It was very refreshing and good! One of my friends had a sangria-I also tried it-it was even better than my margarita! I ordered the enchiladas and we shared the sopapilla dessert. All I have to say is that we were in heaven! We ended the night with several dessert shots (khalua + tequila rose) and calles it a night. Overall, a great experience! The customer service was top notch, the waitress kept checking in on us and all the other tables. This place was impeccably clean and very cozy. Very casual ambiance, I am definitely going back! read more

I highly recommend this Mexican food Restaurant. I had the Enchiladas my kids and husband had the stake tacos and guacamole dip. Not only is the food Authentic and quality, but it's nice that the owners are extremely involved. It's run by a husband and wife that definitely give it its personal touch. Amazing service overhaul! read more

This is by far the best mexican restaurant in a 30 mile radius on the west of hudson side. Family owned and operated an overall great dining experience. read more

Last night 6 of decided to try Mexican. It was a bad choice. We went at 6:30 and got our food at 8. One ordered an appetizer that never came. Two ordered black bean soup that never came!! Some of us ordered fajita. I thought fajitas were supposed to be sizzling hot. The dish was barely warm. Other people came and ate and left before we were even served!! We will never go again. They need help with how to be organized and run a business. read more

Delicious! I can't wait to go again! The waiter was so polite. They give each table salsa and piping hot chips. We had enchiladas which were excellent and came with rice and beans. read more

This place was nice. Wouldn't have gone it if our car dealer hadn't recommended it because it's not that noticeable from the road. We went in on a Thursday night and it had a lively young crowd so I assume it's got a good following. For me though, food was OK and service was a bit too slow. Our waiter was very nice, though he seemed a bit overwhelmed at times and I felt bad for him. Maybe he was new? The people at the dealership thought the food was great, and since my food was just average that night, maybe I caught them on a bad night or ordered the wrong thing? read more

Got Burrito' however they tasted more like lasagna. Far from authentic not even a hint of onion or cilantro.

Best Mexican food I've ever had! The Flautas was very flavorful and came in a HUGE portion. Their guacamole is AMAZING!! What stood out to me more is that it is very family oriented. The servers are the owners sons, the owner was tending bar and just very active in the business. A couple next to us had a young baby who was getting restless and their server actually held the baby so his mom could enjoy her food. Our server was so friendly and I've lived around Kingston my whole life and I am mad that I didn't support this business a long time ago. My husband and I will be longtime customers and I will share my experience with anyone looking for good food in the area. read more

Love this place!!! Environment includes a lot of locals!!! Drinks are okay but the food is awesome and full of flavor. When you come in, the bar was first and the seating area was in the back. Definitely has a Mexican restaurant feel with their decor. My husband and I have come here numerous times and anytime we went they never disappointed. Accommodating and friendly staff with your food orders. read more

My hubby and I enjoyed a delicious meal here. The margarita was excellent and reasonably priced at $7. I had an enchilada, taco and chicken quesadilla-- all very tasty and served piping hot. The guacamole was excellent and I really enjoyed the side beans and rice as well-- very nicely seasoned. (Often I find them too bland and don't eat them... not here!) service was fast and friendly, atmosphere very cute with nice lighting. Prices very reasonable-- $14 for rack oh our combo dinners. This is now our go to spot for Mexican food. read more

Very good salsa with chips before the meal. Very good meal all together! Went for lunch on a Saturday and the service was great. Friendly and attentive. I will return! read more

Casa Villa - Chimichangas! - Mexican Near Me - Kingston, New York

A very, very good restaurant in Kingston, in my opinion, is hard to find. Anyone familiar with K-Town knows that there are many Mexican spots in the area. I noticed the sign and it drew me in. The atmosphere here is actually quite warm and very laid back. A good amount of people were there watching the Yankee game at the bar and I waited while getting my takeout. I had an appetizer that when I saw it in the menu, I HAD to jump on it. Three words had me: Queso con Chorizo. OMG!!! It was too good. A bowl of hot, nacho cheese sauce with hearty chunks of chorizo. My tortilla chips were very happy to be dipped in this wonder of yellow liquid. Their house salsa is extremely fresh and bursting with onions and cilantro. I love cilantro. I love the taste. I love this salsa. I ordered their burrito platter which had one cheese, one chicken and one beef. They were sizable and extremely tasty. Even the rice and beans that usually would disappoint when included in a typical Mexican plate were really damn good. The food took some time to prepare but I'm probably one of the 10 people on the planet that doesn't mind that. It means that it's homemade and carefully prepared. If you want the illusion of homemade, yet fast plate, I suggest Applebee's. You want to taste REAL chef skills, come here. The menu is extensive and they even have a seperate Italian menu, which sparked my curiousity but I wanted Mexican. Plus, all who know me are aware of my feelings about Italian cuisine in the Mid-Hudson Valley. I get it...pasta = cheap to make = MO Money to take. My issue is that in this area, there's Italian restaurants on every corner. You think that Starbucks is invading? Keep dreaming. I can only wonder of the lack of more ethnic cuisines up here because EVERYONE just loooooves Italian food. ***Bringing it back, from my tangent*** Damn Willis...I don't wanna hear no speech MAAAANNN! I will be back to the Casa Villa. I have a quest to assault that menu to the fullest and get whatever the hell those Mexican guys at the bars were drinking. They were having hot sauce poured into a pint glass and Corona poured into it. This was finished with squeezed lime juice. What was that and why wasn't I drinking it? To Be Continued... read more

Very good Mexican cuisine. Borders more on "Tex-Mex", but that is what most people in the Northeast like, anyway. Staff and service are both always very friendly, prompt and graciously attentive. I have been here about 6 times so far and each time has been very consistant in both food quality and service. I've tried several different dishes each time, also. The margheritas are pretty good- definitely not the best I've had, but they rate well enough with me. Prices are certainly resonable and the atmosphere is both casual and festive. I find the electronic waterwall picturescape mural on the back wall of the dining area to be a little "cheesy" but, otherwise, the overall atmosphere is pleasant to behold for this type of establishment. Thumbs up, and I recommend it for sure!! read more

The most disrespectful service. Sat at the bar and ate dinner and my tab was combined with another random 2 people at the bar, over a $200 tab and they only wanted one card and or cash. I refused to pay the total amount. Huge waste of time and energy. Owner was a complete asshole, was yelling and refused to divide the check. Long story short don't waste your time or spend any money here. read more

The only effort our waitress put into our "service" was when she wrote in an 18% tip for herself onto my credit card receipt before she gave it to me to sign! I live in NYC and eat out at least once a week and have NEVER had this happen especially for such subpar service. And we were a table of 3 so it couldn't even have been a group charge. On top of that had to wait over an hour for our food, was only supplied with a butter knife for a steak, which ended up not even being the right cut ordered from the menu anyway. After multiple attempts to get her attention to finally bring a steak knife, had to attempt multiple times to get her attention again in order to get some hot sauce (in what kind of Mexican restaurant do you have to ASK for hot sauce???) which was the cheap supermarket bottle kind and not fresh made. At $20 a plate I would expect AT LEAST some fresh-made hot sauce. The food was beyond bland, except for the buffalo calamari which was fine but was just a cheap mix of BBQ sauce and mayo which is in no way authentic Mexican. My fault though, our first red flag as to the authenticity of the food should have been the fact that we were the only latin people in there. I know Kingston has a decent sized Mexican population and if they don't eat there its not just because of the overpriced menu. That was a complete waste of the $100 that meal ended up costing me. read more

The food here was disgusting and the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Food was bland just not very Mexican at all. I wouldn't even consider this place a Mexican restaurant. This is not a place for people that want real enjoyable Mexican food. This is a place for people who don't know the difference and don't care. The margarita that people rave about was not good at all. Nothing special, barely taste the tequila in it or the flavor that the margarita is supposed to be. This is more of an Italian steak house than a Mexican restaurant. I would never eat here again. read more

The food was awesome. Chimichangas were crispy and flavorful. Guacamole and the beans were really good. Really appreciated that my to-go order was hot and the chimichangas separate from everything else just like I asked. Thank you.. I don't think I had a single complaint. Place was reallly busy and kitchen was backed up. The nice man on the phone let me know ahead of time, and food came out shortly after he had anticipated. It's so hard to get food to-go. It is never as good as in the restaurant. Casa Villa -- the exception to the rule. Only reason for 4 stars is because I compare every chimi I eat to Filibertos in Arizona. Nothing comes close. Even though it is unrealistic, I want it to taste the same. read more

The absolute most rude restaurant owner I have ever encountered. I went to the restaurant mid day on a Sunday while waiting for my friends to go on our Sunday motorcycle ride. As I sat at the bar... 3 other people at the front end. I was ignored for about 10 minutes. I then asked For a menu and a drink. As I waited I heard someone call to ask if they had a menu item. He vaguely answered and then hung up. Made snarky remarks to the bar about the caller... who then called right back and I hear him reply... yes this is the same place you called and it's the same answer yes we have ... and hung up again. Idk I've just never seen anyone ever treat customers the way he did and I was in the restaurant business for years. Then I ordered my food... and In about 5 mins my friend asked me to bring her something back, which seemed to be another absolute inconvenience, He was rude to me and rude as he spoke about others. Just seemed absolutely unprofessional. I'm not sure how he keeps customers the food is mediocre at best. read more

I went to Casa Villa with my family while home in Kingston for the weekend. We got there fairly late on a Friday and found the restaurant still fairly full. We asked how long the wait would be and were told 10 or 15 minutes. We decided to stay since we were already there, so we sat at the bar and ordered a round of drinks. After about 45 minutes we were finally seated. We started off with the Buffalo Calamari, which was pretty good, and an order of Nachos. The nacho's were good, but could the portion was smaller than you usually find at Mexican restaurants. For my entree I ordered a burrito with chili Verde sauce. It was very good and plenty large enough to fill me. The service overall was very good, other than the long wait to be seated. I would definitely go back to Casa Villa again in the future. read more

This was a really great find - warm and comfortable atmosphere, well-prepared food with generous portions of Tex-Mex fare, and very yummy - although watch it here if cholesterol is an issue! We had a good meal and a good time. Service was good and the menu was varied. read more

We went there years ago. My family, having to opportunity to eat Mexican food in Mexico City, Los Angeles, new York etc found the food to be disappointing. We went back with some friends to give it another try. Explained exhaustively about my wife's dairy allergy. We ordered plain broiled salmon. Just olive oil. What we got was scrod. The waiter said it was done as we ordered. My wife took 2 bites and ran to the bathroom. She was I'll all night long and is just getting over it. When I called the owner told me salmon was white when you dont use butter. Got belligerent and hung up. We had a doggie bag. I tasted the fish and it was soaked in butter. NEVER will try it again. They have their neighborhood clientele. New folks beware. Also my chicken enchiladas were actually filled with tough overcooked chicken. I'm sorry to write this but not even an I'm sorry or checking out my story makes this place a last resort. Watch out people with food allergies!! read more

Not sure which was worst the food or the service. I had chicken fajitas which should be grilled vegs and chicken. Not here! They were cooked in a sauce pan with way too much oil. No seasoning - no flavor. Everything was cold, the beans so cold it was like they came right out of the can. Service was very very slow - took over 2 hours to get dinner and the place was half empty. I know why now. Find another place to eat. read more

I was feeling a little under the weather, and Casa Villa's tasty chicken and rice soup was exactly what I needed.

Best service I've ever had in my life, strong mixed drinks, frozen strawberry margaritas were epic and our food came out fast, it was beyond delicious, I haven't been here in years and I forgot how good it was, can't wait to go back! read more

This was a nice Mexican restaurant. A very cozy place in what at first looks like somebody's home. When you get inside you see a full bar. And a separate dining room with a fireplace. The staff were quite friendly. And the food was very tasty. I had the chimichanga combo (one chicken, and one beef), guacamole, rice and beans. My friend had the porter house steak dish (potato, veggie, and mexi-wedding soup). We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. They were a bit late in asking how our meal was, but other than that we had a great evening. Recommended! read more

Hand down best service ever. The owner and his family (Alexis and his brother? Not sure of their names) go above and beyond to make EVERYONE feel welcome and well-taken care of. It's an absolute joy to have a quick dinner or host a party with the crew here. Food is always hot, authentic and delicious and the portions are HUGE. Margaritas are strong and flavorful too. My only gripe is the carrots on the nachos... not a fan! But 5 stars all around. I wish the family luck during this difficult time and hope they stick around a few more generations. read more
