We all enjoyed the experience and topped it off with desert which is unusual, but the ladies were craving something sweet. Their sweet tooth was satisfied.

The food ranges from authentic to not so authentic, catering to all types of folks. And man, the menu is extensive. Large space and friendly service. The $3 taco Tuesdays tacos are basic, and by that I mean, ground beef, shredded beef or chicken, no special tacos. And they look like a significant upgrade to a Taco Bell taco with lettuce, cheese and tomato. Basically, what I would consider a gringo taco. Can have them soft or hard. Anyhoo, my al pastor chimichanga was great, which supposedly is a technically Tex Mex. Portions are huge! I tried the kiwi margarita and tastes zero kiwi. Put some kiwi pulp in that mother father! At $7, I couldn't complain. Get your mexican fix. Ándale!

A great place to stop in for lunch after a day of sightseeing. Of course, I checked Yelp for reviews. Yelper Jose P. enjoyed it, so I thought this place would be a winner. Thanks Jose! We ordered 3 Shrimp Tacos, Mandarin Jarritos and a Diet Coke. The drinks along with delicious complimentary chips & sauces were brought out immediately to the table. The tacos came out a short time later. The shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious. All the flavors complemented each another perfectly. Customer service was very efficient and friendly. Place is colorfully decorated. El Guacamole is a little restaurant with a lot of WOW!!!! Definitely would return! Parking is available on the street or in the back lot.

I'll be honest, I was disappointed by my experience here. I absolutely love Mexican food and, being…read morenew to the area, was excited to see this business with an immaculate reputation on Yelp. I did come at an in-between time (around 3pm), so it's possible that this was a one-off, but it was so meh that I'm not sure I'll be back to give it another shot (if I do, I'll come right at lunch or dinner time). The good: the mole was fantastic! Even with a mediocre meal, this stood out as amazing. The portions were generous. I thought at one point the woman asked if I wanted chicken or beef enchiladas, and having never had beef enchiladas I said "beef please." It turns out, I received chicken enchiladas with a portion of skirt steak on top (see photo). Again, very generous. The decor was lively. The misses: The beans were quite bland, to the point where I was surprised...it's such a foundational element of Mexican cuisine, but they needed more spices / a touch more salt. Also, my wife ordered the veggie wrap and it was bland. It contained lots of different vegetables, but somehow they weren't seasoned. I know vegetarian burritos aren't all the craze, but when I took a bite of it, I agreed...it was just vegetables, no seasoning at all. Nice to have it on the menu for folks like my wife, but why not season them first? Maybe it was an oversight. The horchata was different from what I've had in the past...not bad, but not something I would recommend either. It was watery, lacked any cinnamon flavor, and had ground almond on top, which was interesting (maybe this is regional?). Without the dynamite mole and the generous portions, this would be a 2 star review, but I can't, in good conscience, give less than 3 stars with mole like that. But the beans...womp womp.

5 STARS - The Best Mexican in Poughkeepsie!…read more Whenever I come to Poughkeepsie to visit my parents, we LOVE getting takeout from here. The Mexican food is honestly the BEST in Poughkeepsie -- fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. I live in Miami Beach, and there's only one good Mexican spot near me, so finding this place was such a treat. The quality and authenticity here are on another level. The inside is really cute, warm, and inviting, and the patio is lovely when the weather is nice. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, everything is consistently amazing. Service is beyond friendly and amazing! Absolutely one of my favorite spots in the area. Highly, highly recommend!

For a few years, the soft cushioned booth seating they had installed were very worn with ripped, torn and cracked pleather, but they finally got new seating, so its more comfortable to sit along the wall now.
