Our favorite thing on the menu are the steak sopes, which come with three sopes loaded with steak, beans, two types of cheese, guacamole, and cream.

The food is good, only issue I have is they don't wear hair nets especially when handling food. I…read morewatched someone walk to the table with one glove on her right hand, clean it and also went back to handling food. Thought she'd change gloves but kept the same glove on hand that she used to clean the table with god know what chemicals and is touching peoples food. Going back to the hair nets, wish they had it on because it's such a big let down to eat your food and finding a long black hair in the very bottom of the tray. If they corrected this I'd change my review.

But I felt they are bit on the expensive side for what they are. Honestly, I rather eat four tacos that are $3.50 each at 14$ somewhere else. Unfortunately, the service sucked. The waiter had an unfriendly demeanor from the start. He glared at me as I came in through the door, but then didn't bother to say hello. He then proceeded to be unfriendly and unpleasant throughout my visit. But the straw that broke the horses back was when he started to yell at me to "hold on ! Hold on!" When I simply asked for the check. So to summarize....decent tacos that are too expensive with bad customer service. I wont be back.

Even the water had NO ice!

My son is in his third year at West Point, and over the past few years, we've searched Yelp, Google, and just about every review site imaginable trying to find truly great restaurants in the area.

The food here is outstanding, the presentation is impressive, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. I only wish we had discovered this place sooner. If you're visiting West Point or staying anywhere in the Hudson Valley, don't overlook Peekskill. It's absolutely worth the trip!

Unfortunately, the last few times just haven't been the same. We went for Cinco de Mayo, so I completely understand the restaurant was extremely busy because of the holiday, but it was still disappointing overall. The service was pretty rough...no one really checked in on us throughout the meal, and everything felt very overlooked. The food just hasn't been hitting like it used to, which is disappointing because I genuinely used to enjoy coming here. My drink barely tasted like it had any alcohol in it, especially for the price. The one standout of the night was definitely the carajillo. I really hope they can get back to the quality and experience they used to have because this spot has a lot of potential.

I always ask "what's good today?", he always replies, "everything!" Then I give my considerations, "it's between the Cuban or tacos" of which he replied "Cuban". I agreed, let's do it. It was snowing and cold. I guess I could've waited in my car but I chose to take in the scenery and stand next to the small propane heater Octavio generously placed outside his trailer. The food came out after maybe 7 min, not long. I quickly shuffled back to my car and got on the road. I opened the tray while driving through the winding Bear Mountain, probably not the smartest thing I've ever done. But this guy was hungry. First we have to try a fry. Crisp, seasoned well and delicious. I wanted to take a bite of the sandwich. It was going to be a chore while driving. The bread looked so good. I could see ham, pork and pickle sticking out the side and I needed a bite. I took a mental note of the tray. I kept my left hand on the steering wheel and my eyes on the road. I reached down w my right hand, grabbed the sandwich and took a monster bite. YUCK A BIG CHUNK OF PORK FAT. I spit it out and ate the rest of the bite. It was good, really good BUT it had a Smokey taste that I didn't love. It wasn't bad, just not my cup of tea. In any event the ingredients were fresh, the bread was toasted and crispy, the fries with the little tub of ketchup were just right. I enjoyed the lunch and look forward to my next trip to Octavios.

After a long day of hiking, we were starving and craving some Mexican food. I found this restaurant after doing a bit of research. Unfortunately, it took over an hour for our food to arrive, which made the experience a bit disappointing. Parking was also limited, I had to make a few rounds until I found street parking. That being said, the food itself was great, and the bartender provided wonderful service. If it hadn't been for the long wait, this would have been a fantastic experience. read more

I recently ate at taco district and was terribly disappointed. The Mexican food didn't taste authentic, and it felt like I was paying for their expensive decor rather than the food quality. The waiter only checked on us twice - to take our order and deliver our food. Was then later charged for two extra drinks that never arrived. Other places nearby are much better and cost much less. read more

The server never came back to check on us after dropping off the appetizer, and no one seemed to care about our order until I had to stop a waitress who had just started her shift to ask what was going on. Even then, the food still wasn't ready, so I ended up canceling my order and leaving. What made the experience even worse was the complete lack of customer service. Not a single apology for the delay, the confusion, or the inconvenience. The young waiter who was taking care of our table showed no customer service skills at all and seemed completely uninterested in helping. Definitely not a place I would return to.

Wow, this was really good. Not just "I'm from Texas and this is pretty good Mexican food for NY."…read moreIt's good straight up against other good Mexican restaurants in Austin. We said the first test was the chips and salsa. They didn't disappoint. The salsa wasn't super spicy but was very fresh and super flavorful and chips were great. Next up - the margaritas. The house on-the-rocks margs were excellent. Good balanced flavor, enough alcohol but not too strong, doesn't taste like a mix. Finally, the entrees. My daughter and wife got the mole poblano enchiladas. There were very good. The mole had a nice, rich flavor. The portions were large and they both had leftovers. I had the puerco adobado. It was amazing. A very light, slightly spicy red sauce and tender pork. So good! The fourth in our party got flautas, which were excellent and also a large portion. The rice and refried beans were also very good. The only item that wasn't amazing was the tres leches. It was good but not as moist as what we normally get. We ate it, of course. It just wasn't at the level of the rest of the food. We sat outside on the patio. It's right next to the road but also overlooks the creek and was very pleasant. The service was great. Very friendly and fast. The prices were reasonable. Knowing about Panchos & Gringos, we'll have no hesitation eating Mexican food when we're visiting our daughter in Peekskill. We'll even look forward to it!
