Breaded Avocado wedges
Beth K.

So we were here on opening day. I'm not sure they were fully prepared. We ordered waters and had to wait because the water machine wasn't ready. On the specials menu, the roasted corn Guacamole was made with rotted" corn instead of roasted corn. No thanks. We ordered a salad in which had literally no lettuce. We said something and the cane out with a plate of shredded lettuce for no charge. I ordered the pick 3 and was charged $3.00 extra for chicken. The food was good not great. Pricey considering portion size. Service was good. There's a lot of competition in Middletown as far as mexican restaurants are concerned so I think they'll need to step it up a bit. On a super positive note, the place was spotless, bright, and spacious.

Great authentic Mexican cuisine and friendly staff! Tacos were spot on and beer was cold.

Bistec a la Mexicana

My husband and I had wanted to have Mexican food to celebrate our Anniversary. We went to a well known Mexican restaurant on 211, however, it was packed with a wait if 25 to 30 minutes. I decided to Yelp and found El Azteca and found it to have a much better rating than the other popular restaurant we were going to go and I'm glad I did. The place was nicely decorated, the service was quick and were very attentive (which I'm sure at the other place was so busy we would not have had the same service if we would had stayed and waited over at the other place. The guacamole was excellent, my carne asada was outstanding and the bistec a la Mexicana was excellent. Glad we found this gem!

This is by far the best tasting Mexican spot in Middletown. There Carnitas are incredible and their California Burrito is like 24 inches!

Yelp asks "What went well?" Honestly, Everything! Everything goes well. Every single time I visit…read morehere it goes very well. I can't repeat it enough. Whether I dine in or place an order to go, everyone is wonderful and the food is fantastic. Food is so delicious and fresh. Staff is excellent! It's so good here I once got caught in a snow storm heading back home. Did I know it was going to snow? Yes, absolutely. What better way to hunker down in a storm than with some House of Birria food! What should've been a 20/25 minute ride turned into over an hour ride. I was afraid, road was slippery/slow, I cried the entire ride home but, I sure wiped those tears straight away with those quesabirria tacos and my Jarritos ! Was it worth it? Definitely! Would I do that again? Nope! I want to keep enjoying their delicious creations so if there's snow in the forecast make sure you get them way in advance. What else can I say?House of Birria is really clean, drinks are tasty, food is delicious, staff is friendly and provide amazing service every single time and now they have a reward system. A pleasant experience every single time! Btw: the Birria Ramen is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! I ate it so fast and realized I didn't get a pic until I was finished. Guess I have to go back; I don't mind one bit.

Went here a hour after then opened, even though it was slow for them the food was made fast and…read moreperfectly. I give them definitely fast service. The pineapple aqua Fresca was sweet but not overpowering, wish they had strawberry one. For the tacos they bigger than street tacos by a mile and very generous with meat filling. Particularly the shrimp one was impressive since usually I find places that don't use jumbo size for shrimp tacos and just use popcorn size and a lot cilantro and onion to mask it. The consommé dip was incredible and glad they left chucks of beef in it like a little soup. The queso birria taco was not greasy or messy, right amount of cheese and beef. Best place for tacos in Middletown I had.

Our waitress, Angela, was awesome--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. We were quickly brought chips and salsa, and our drink order was taken. My wife ordered a margarita, and I went with a mango iced tea, which was really refreshing. We decided to skip appetizers this time and went straight to our entrées. My wife ordered the chicken Milanesa sandwich, which she absolutely loves--it's a staple for her whenever we come here. I ordered the combination platter with enchiladas suizas, a gringo taco, and a chicken quesadilla. Everything came out hot and tasted great, just like it always does. I also asked about one of the tequilas and ended up ordering a shot, which was a nice touch to the meal. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and excellent service, the whole experience was fantastic. Frontera continues to be a reliable favorite for us, and we'll definitely be back again--as usual.

I was not expecting this place to be packed on a Sunday night, but there was live music, so maybe…read morethat's why it was crowded? We waited over 30 minutes after we ordered our food (enchiladas, not complicated). Our drinks weren't refilled and the food was good, but not great. I'm from Texas, so maybe my expectations are too high for New York State. If this is heralded as the best authentic Mexican in Middletown, then I'm definitely skipping any Mexican food the next time I'm in town.

On the outside, it has that small town, dark northern tavern vibe. On the inside, it's lively and brightly decorated with gorgeous carved & painted furnishings, many featuring the saint for whom the restaurant is named. The crowd told us we'd made the right choice--this is a popular place with locals for good reason. The horchata is delicious. All the foods we ordered were amazing and generously portioned. I ordered the longaniza con papa taco, a friend ordered the chilaquiles, and my partner got a combo plate with a taco, enchilada, and chile relleno. We were very pleased with all of our selections--and I heartily recommend the longaniza. Our server was, given how busy the restaurant was, prompt and very kind. I really appreciate how friendly this restaurant is.
