Started with the table-made guacamole - excellent. Chose three mains, and all were exceptional. I can't believe one of the reviewers here found everything lacking in flavor and authenticity. Mains includes Enchiladas (beef, chicken, veggie - great accompaniments), Mole' Chicken (1/2-chicken slathered with delicious mole') and the Beef Molcajete - beef strips, chorizo, queso fresco, cactus, & scallions in salsa, served in an authentic stone mortar. The molcajete is a true dining experience. Overall - can't wait to go back in the Spring.

The menus are propped up for contactless ordering and they also have a QR scan so you can see the menu using your phone. Everyone is wearing PPE and gloves. The food is served in disposable wear so you know is sanitary! There is good social distances and it's all outdoor seating with tarps. So no need to worry about getting wet under a cheap patio umbrella! And plenty parking. The food: is authentic and yummy delicious! I ordered the tamales, empanadas, and enchiladas de mole. The food is like eating at my Mexican grandma's table. I have not experienced this specially so remote from the big city. What a gem hidden in this tiny farm. For dessert I had the churros which where covered with sprinkled sugar and cinnamon and stuffed with amazing yummy caramel goodness. Served with ice cream and raspberry sauce. Absolutely incredible!! I drove 8 hrs to be here and they did not disappoint. This place is totally under rated. The problem is not many people who come here know about yelp. Although it seems to be really popular with the locals, they are typically older farm folks and families. I wish they got more reviews. The owners are a cute couple who work the restaurant and their kids work here too. Absolutely amazing 10 out of 10!!!

Large portions with authentic ingredients to a wonderful explosion of flavors. YUM ! The Villager Burrito is what I had and my dining companion had the cheese enchiladas.

Well worth the short drive from Ithaca.

The service was 10/10 we were greeted the minute we walked in, and she was sweet! Ambiance was very pleasant, the table cloths were fit for the location and I loved everything I saw inside if this restaurant. Even down to the napkin holders. We had the table with the strawberry one! Ohh and the Spoons for the salsa, thick wooden spoons. Gotta get my hands on those. The food again, the best tacos I've had eating out. My guy loved his food so much, he got another Huarache to take home for later!! Though the horchata I ordered could have used more cinnamon and less water, could be because I ordered a large. So next time I'll size down and see how that turns out! 100% recommend this spot.

You could taste the tequila which I find "house" marg's tend to be weak at other spots so that was nice. We were seated right away and the decor and music was festive and bright. So the food: not a hit for us. My husband thought the tamales tasted like they had been frozen and then heated up when he ordered. The salsa and red sauce on our meals tasted like canned tomato sauce in my opinion. And not even like store bought salsa but straight up a can of tomato sauce. I was just visiting Oneonta but if I were to ever return to the area, I would choose another restaurant.
