I've been spoiled with great Mexican food from years of living in California and Mexico. I'm so happy to have finally found something authentic. Nothing in Burlington or anywhere else I've found on the east coast compares. I make their options and there is so much flavor. Their food doesn't need to rely on lard, meat, or dairy for its flavor. The only thing is I wish they were open more and that the crowd at The Pepper would realize how much better this i read more

Food is so delicious with authentic flavors, service is great very family oriented and my favorites to order are the carnitas (pork) tacos with rice and beans of course, chicken quesadilla and chips with salsa. Their specials always give me a chance to try something new. If you're looking for southern California mexican food! This is the place!! Oh and remember to try the Birria!! read more

The food is not it for me and the restaurant seems to never be open. We ordered tacos for taco Tuesday and they were basically street taco size corn tortillas with white chicken and a few pieces of cilantro. I won't be back. read more

Second or third visit this past Saturday evening. From the looks of it, post covid, the business, notice I did not say restaurant, is doing a thriving take out business. That is nice to see. We have done take out and dined in. The food is ok for a detuned Mexican restaurant trying to thrive within a subculture which is not aware of the great taste of properly prepared spicy meals. That said, the food is mostly acceptable. I have tried three different menu items and my most recent the Chimichanga was poor, although it did have some good components. Their beans are above average. The chicken which was suppose to have been present, must have escaped prior to completion of the item, as it had a total of three pieces of chicken, one of which was very tough, which leaves basically two pieces of chicken. My wife had the Nachos with Asada, they were better than average, however the Asada was very overcooked, and cut into small square bits and difficult to chew. Dont waste your money on the $4.00 upcharge for the Asada, as it is not worth it. The Nachos without the Asada would have been very good. We drank bottled water. You can get Coke from Mexico, which we have had in the past and many times prior, as children growing up in Mexico. There is a soda fountain. This business does not sell alcohol. Which may be a reason why when driving around downtown Plattsburgh you see restaurants jammed with patrons and not this place. However, there may be a second reason for no inside patrons. This business does nothing to promote inside eaters to be treated like a customer. If you want to eat inside, you get no table service. Food is provided in take-a-way containers, plastic forks and spoons. No table water. No complimentary table chips and salsa. The music is not what you might expect traditional Mexican and Spanish, but a local radio station, wow what a bummer. The overall eating experience is more akin to a picnic where you have to share your neighbors music whether you like it or not. The staff are very pleasant and if properly utilized could easily enhance ones eating experience. My suggestion for this place is to find a smaller store front and do take out only. Ditch all the square footage, you do not know how to manage and use. As for us, we may get an occasional take out in the future, but we are going to focus on other Plattsburgh restaurants who want their customers to come in and join them for the eating experience they have to offer. read more

AMAZING food and service! The house made salsa and chips were seriously the best I've EVER had! I had the chicken chimichanga and so good! Highly recommended you try it! read more

Excellent southern California style Mexican food. Everything is super delicious, affordably priced, and served quickly with a smile. Nice bright and clean space. Mainly a takeout spot but they are offering indoor seating now too! read more

Hands down one of the best mexican restaurants I've ever been too. Food was amazing, the atmosphere was good and the restaurant was clean. The service was also very nice! 10/10 would recommend read more

It's an unfortunate circumstance when food at a restaurant is great but the service is unacceptable. Today was the third time in the last few months I have ordered there and it will be my family's last. I will give credit when due, but each time the food was not prepared in a reasonable time and should you have plans for after a meal, forget them. I placed an order online today at 10 am for at noon-ish pick up. When I arrived at my pre-scheduled time I received nothing. They first denied I submitted an order, even when I provided an emailed receipt as proof. I asked for a refund as I had limited time to wait and had to return to work. It took another few minutes to even find that my order was actually sent and they just never made it. No apologies. No trying to make it right. A quick "must have been a technical issue, here's your refund." That's it. I love to support local establishments but at this rate, they are just such a disappointment. 10/10 would NOT recommend. read more

today i brought my whole family to try this restaurant for the first time . we were all terribly disappointed!!!!!!! we were told to sit and wait for our food that took forever ! then when the food finally came it was wrapped to go and they told us to leave and that it was takeout only!!!!!! the portions were like something for a small child!!!!!!!! and it was very expensive!!!!!! they were rude and uncouth !!!!!! don't waist your hard earned money at this place!!!!!!!!! unbelievable!!!!!!!!! they should be ashamed of them selves ripping people off like that !!!!! we payed a small fortune for a couple of bites of food !!!!!! read more

I never would have expected my favorite Mexican restaurant experience would be here in Plattsburgh! From the first bites you can tell that the food is homemade as it is so delicious, and the service was very welcoming. The salsa was quite good (but you have to pay for chips/salsa), and my asada chimichanga was also wonderful. Highly recommend! read more

The food is delicious but the hours are ridiculous. Every time I've tried to go they're either closed or out of what I want.

Genuine smiles and authentic Mexican food can be found here. Every bit of the experience at this restaurant makes you feel like you've walked into a family gathering. The owner welcomes you with a huge smile. You can sit where you like in this quirky cantina and the waitress will come to you. We had a garbage burrito with chicken and asada and a plate of carnita fries. Still had leftovers. If you are looking for completely homemade Mexican fare, this is it! This family will feed you! My only complaint is you have to pay for a small thing salsa and chips. Which given the prices and time you wait for your food I honestly think should be complimentary. read more

A hidden gem in Plattsburgh, Lomeli's is our new favorite spot. It's off the beaten path a bit, but most good local spots are. Lomeli's is currently located in the Big Lots plaza all the way in the back. But Armando says they're moving soon to a better location on Oak St. We came just after "lunch hour" at around 1:30, and had absolutely no wait. Armando was attentive and friendly, the kind of jovial owner/operator I appreciate. The place is brightly colored and cozy, and I was surprised how comfortable the benches at the booths were. Our only complaint about the atmosphere is that it was a bit chilly at our seat next to the window, but it's wintertime in the North Country. The food came quickly, and was incredible. I can't say enough good things about the food here. Nothing we ordered was subpar. It's obvious that this family takes pride in their food, and so good at what they do. For the two of us, the bill came to $44. We ordered the chicken enchilada casserole, a garbage burrito, guacamole fries, chips and salsa, and 2 canned sodas. There is easily enough left over for another full meal. I'm so full as I type this, but I can't wait to get into my leftovers! read more

FINALLY! I have finally gotten to this restaurant for dinner. Awesome! I should have known by the group of people who were sitting in the restaurant waiting for take out at 3:00 pm in the afternoon! Most restaurants are not too busy at that time. This is a good sign. I ordered the special, shrimp tacos. I believe that they are the best I've ever had. I also had part of a "Wet Burrito" with Asada. I didn't care for the red sauce that is on the very top, but everything else was outstanding. It's very clean, kitchen and table area. The comfortable seating and very relaxing atmosphere doesn't give you the rushed feeling that you may get from other places. I have to try the other products (and I will) next time around. FYI, don't go in thinking about taco-bell... read more

While the food was good. We had to wait almost 10 minutes before someone from the kitchen came out to take our order. They also ran out of cups so we couldn't order the Horchata. They did mix up my order. I ordered fish tacos, rice and beans, and a bean burrito. My friend ordered a steak taco. They packaged the steak tacos with the rice and beans. The food was also a bit pricy. read more

Don't get to go here as often as I would like only because they moved to a downtown location (very sad they did this)and it is harder for us to get in-and-out. Wish they had a better location, the food was really good the few times I've had it. read more

I really enjoyed my meal from Lomeli's consisting of carne Asada tacos, fried cheese tacos, as well as fish and Pork. The man at the counter who I believe to be the owner was extremely nice and happy to take my order. I will be returning to this delicious Mexican spot. read more

Brought my daughter for lunch! She just loves the Nachos add some chicken for a little extra Yum!! We love this place! Great customer service read more

This review is solely for the carne asada fries. I'm sort of a snob when It comes to carne asada fries. I'm from San Diego, ca. If you didn't know, that's where this particular dish originates. We have "taco shops" (that is what we call It back home) on every block corner basically that serves some variation of carne asada fries. Anyhow, It was crazy for me to actually find a place up here that serves It. I've been living in New York for about a year and have been dying for some San Diego style mexican food. I think I saw the owners were from California, LA? Or something like that. So I figured heyyy this place has to be legit right? Well on to the fries. Let me just construct this for you. You have a pile of fries, top It with the carne asada, cheese, sour cream & guac. Not the healthiest dish but it's sooo good if you do It right. I guess I can't knock em, because they actually are out here trying to sell It. But for me personally It didn't satisfy my craving like I thought. It honestly tasted like store bought daisy sour cream. And the guac didn't seem fresh or homemade. The fries were extremely crispy. Like crispy where it's hard to chew and there wasn't any fluffy potato in the middle anymore. I didn't like the cut of the fries with this either. The meat was okay. I tasted more salt than any other seasoning. I have remade carne asada fries in my home before, and It tasted better than this. Im sorry to say, but It tastes like It was made to serve more of the "american" palate. Rather than being truly authentic Mexican flavors. I think that is my big issue with the Mexican restaurants that aren't in San Diego lol. Everything is catered to the more dare i say "gringo" or "Tex mex" type of flavors. But you sell to your environment so I don't blame them. I personally just wish It was better. P.s I felt bad for our server because she was having a hard time taking care of multiple tables by herself. And also the register for pick up and to go orders. It took us a while to get our menus. Then to order, because she was running around everywhere. I could tell she was tired. She was the only one on the floor. read more

Make sure you add your check up before you pay because they may over charge you like they did to me & my neighbor. Their garbage burrito is just that 'garbage'! Fries in a burrito? Ugh! My neighbor ordered a cup of coffee but never got it. The beef, pork and chicken were way too salty and after 1 year in last years customer complaint... they still didn't correct the problem. If you want quality Mexican food... the Pepper is the place to go or Grandma's Cuban & Peruvian restaurant on US Ave. read more

My husband and a couple friends went to Lomeli's last night. We decided to stop in for the 'All You Can Eat' buffet. For $15, you get a mix of entrees, and are welcome to order more than one plate... Or so they claim. It took about thirty minutes for our original order to arrive - half of it, anyway. Myself and my friend both got our food at the same time. The rest of the table had to wait another 15 minutes. It took just as long for our waitress to bring us utensils. We decided to put in a second order. Just about an hour later, our second round of food still had not come. We asked the waitress about it, and were told that it would be at least another 15 minutes. We decided to cancel the order, and leave. I've heard their food is good, though the experience really ruined it for me. We were in the restaurant for upwards of 2 hours, and left both hungry, and annoyed. It looked as if most of the restaurant felt the same. When we finally left, not a single table in the restaurant had food. After last night, I will not go back to Lomeli's. read more

Very excited to try this place as there are not many Mexican restaurants in Plattsburgh. I came in with my three granddaughters and there was no children's menus. So we had to order adult size and entrées for them. We had to pay almost $10 for an order of chips and salsa and then an additional seven dollars for a small bowl of guacamole the chips were good but overcooked as some of them were dark brown. The owner was very pleasant and helpful. It took would seemed like a normal amount of time to get our food once we ordered it. While we were waiting some children that must have been related to the owners or the workers in the restaurant and gave us a religious pamphlet to read about Jehovah witnesses. I ordered the nachos and my nachos had rice beans and a smattering of Carne Asada on them. The carnet Asada was extremely salty and dry. There were absolutely no fresh vegetables on my nachos such as onions tomatoes cilantro or jalapeños. It was a hot carbohydrate mess in addition the chips for those were also overcooked. My husband ordered taquitos with rice and beans and the portion size was good but the taquitos or bland. That taquito's were covered in guac no salsa or sourcream. My other daughter ordered the garbage burrito with Carne Asada and got through half of it and still didn't find the meat. She ate mostly rice beans french fries and tortilla. No sauces for the burritos such as salsa or sour cream. Just a giant burrito on a plate. The portion sizes were all good. The food you got for the price you paid was not equal. I felt like I paid most of my money for tortillas beans and rice. My granddaughters ordered quesadillas and tacos and they were satisfied with them. They came with one small cup of sour cream. I asked if I could get some salsa to put on my nachos and was told I would have to pay two dollars for a 2 ounce cup or five dollars for another bowl which was probably the equivalent of one cup of salsa. Which was nothing to really write home about I have made better salsa. So I ate my dry rice nachos with my dry salty beef on them and swallowed sadness. When we were finished and ready to go we had to wait for the check. We finally tired of waiting and went up to the front to pay for it but only after standing in line waiting for somebody else to place an order. They were also out of orange soda and one of my granddaughters wanted to order the pork tacos but they said they weren't ready at that time. There were three adults and three small children who were eating in our party and we paid $120. Very disappointing, should have gone to chipotle. I hate to say it but it was just one little step up from Taco Bell. I like to be supportive of small businesses but the small businesses have to put forth more effort than this. It goes both ways I hope they improve I literally felt like I was ripped off. read more

Just ordered from here and sad to say this was the worst display of Mexican food in which I have ever encountered, the asada is way too salty, the guacamole bland, and the taco salad in which I ordered doesn't come in the traditional taco bowl why call it taco salad? Never again I implore you people to steer clear away from this "restaurant" read more

WAY TO SALTY! Food was way over priced. I couldn't even eat the tacos because they were so salty. Probably the worst Mexican food I have ever had. Less salt and it would had been okay. I like salt but when evert bite burns your mouth with salt.... I was not a fan. I should had just ordered from taco bell. At least there food is editable. I will never order here again. read more

I got the fat girl fries. The food was not horrible, but it was extremely salty. I drank two water bottles while eating this in the first 15 minutes. I didn't even finish it due to it being so salty! If it was less salty I would have been able to taste more of the actual flavor of the food. The guacamole was not good and it just seemed like they put a packet in mixed with some avocados. The hot sauce was tasty. The woman on the phone was very nice and has great customer service. Also the delivery lady was very nice too. I am just not happy about the food that I got. The presentation was so nice! It looked really good before I tasted it. I really expected something more based on the reviews and photos. It can be good if they make some improvements. I'm just not going to order there again. It cost 20$ in total. Gone down the drain read more

Listen, If you know what and like authentic Mexican food then this is the spot. This place is delicious. Food takes a little longer because everything is made fresh to order. Great service, great staff and outstanding fresh food. It is what it is....lots of food for little bit of money. Fantastic! Great find. #BuddhaReview read more

This place is cute, bright, and friendly. Would definitely recommend coming in for the amazing Asada fries. Melted cheese, perfectly flavored steak, sour cream, and guacamole. Yum! The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because our pork tacos were bland like pulled pork w tomato. There was nothing Mexican tasting about them. read more

The food was good, the rest of the experience was terrible, I like supporting local businesses but unfortunately I will not be going back.

We arrived at 7:45pm, and they close at 8. As soon as we realized this we figured that we were out of luck. But no, the waitress (owner possibly?) said no trouble at all and seated us right away. My 2 daughters (11 & 8) loved that the tables are painted with chalk board paint, and a cup of colored chalk sat on the table. Brilliant! They sat happily drawing while we waited for our food. We ordered salsa, chips and guacamole to munch on as we waited for our entrees. The guacamole was different than any other I have had before. It was smooth, creamy and seasoned lighly, so the avocado was the main flavor.... delicious. The salsa was chunky, with tomato, avocado and cilantro as the main flavors coming through. Very unique and we really enjoyed it. Chips were flour tortillas, fried in house. Crunchy and so good. Entrees didn't disappoint: chicken falutas and asada burrito were excellent. Kids liked their meals as well : cheese quesadilla & fish tacos. Refried beans were awesome, so flavorful. Delicious food and pleasant patient service, all while they were supposed to be closing up for the night. Overall a great experience, highly recommend! read more

My family enjoyed our visit. The food was good, waitress friendly, and the atmosphere laid-back. Don't skip the churros!

The food is great! I love small Mexican restaurants, and this one didn't disappoint. I got the garbage burrito, which usually isn't my style but I was so blown away by how good it was. We also split nachos and the chips were so good! Not too salt or greasy at all. I wish I would've asked for black beans, that was my only complaint. read more

So I went there and the service was so slow, the waitress never came back to see if we wanted refills on our drinks, the food was over priced for the amount and there was no authentic taste as a matter of fact there wasn't any flavor at all I think they forgot to add salt to their food. Not bragging but I could make better Spanish food than that. read more

It's okay for Plattsburgh. Their tacos are prepared very much the same way that authentic ones are prepared in Mexico. However, they lack the flavor and variety that is offered in more diverse regions of our country. I am from Miami where 100% real deal, authentic cuisine from all over Latin America and the Carribean is offered, and not dumbed down for the American palate. I believe Lomelis has the know how and potential to put out a more authentic and diverse menu. It would be refreshing if that was available in Plattsburgh. How about some Mole (not the rodent people) or Chile Relleno? Maybe Tacos De Lengua, or some real deal Tacos Al Pastor or Barbacoa. I'd also like to see their business hours expanded a bit. It seems like they are closed more than they are open. read more

Local small place. Very nice people running the place. Had the signature chunky salsa and chips. The chips where done a little well but there salsa was out of this world. Chunky tomatoes and avocado with a good helping of cilantro. Also had a rice and bean burrito that was fantastic. There side of refried beans and rice was awesome. Only wish there was a place like this Back in Connecticut. It's always the little places that have the best food! read more
