We (party of 3) got here one BEAUTIFUL evening and naturally had to wait a bit for a table. No biggie, we head for the bar for some margaritas. The bar, as many of the places around Peekskill, seems to be an afterthought. It's small and near the door so there's a constant flow of traffic past you. I can see this will NOT be a hangout come Winter. Anyway, the margarita gets a big thumbs down from me. Tastes like cheap tequila and possible made with something aged. I want a drink that tastes fresh and clean...this was not. Table ready and we head over and look at the menu. I expected something a little different. They have a small but varied selection of tacos and while only 5$ each, they are pretty small. But still, for $10 or $15, most people are going to be satisfied. The apps we delish. We split a couple of different things but the wings were the most memorable. Service was on fleek! I may be back for a sidewalk beer and some wings, but it's not on my Top 10 for Westchester. (Was going to give 2 stars, apps made it 3). read more

Taco Dive Bar - Great wings for my $$ - Mexican Near Me - Peekskill, New York

TDB was great, and I bet it is even better in the warmer weather. I came here with my family, including my 4 and 6 year old niece and nephew on a Sunday afternoon. We were greeted by the whole staff and nobody gave us dirty looks for bringing kids to a dive bar. Brunch was being served so we ordered the gluten free pancakes for the kids to share. We ordered only a few tacos for the 3 adults to share since it was still early and I had a side of guacamole. Everything came out very quick and was super fresh. My favorite part was my brunch drink, the Mexican 70, which is basically a champagne margarita. It has tequila, lime, agave, and Cava sparkling wine. I don't live very close (NJ) but would love to come here again, hopefully in the spring when we can sit outside. read more

Taco Dive Bar - funny sign in the bathroom - Mexican Near Me - Peekskill, New York

We needed to revisit this spot after some years. Food was just ok. Used to be good. The outdoor spot was very nice and awesome relief from Covid isolation. Still worth coming back as things change. read more

After a 4-hour hike, I can't imagine anything better than margs, chips & guac, and tacos. This place has GREAT food and you can get a liter of margarita for $28! Our server's name is Amanda, and she was awesome. Very attentive, without interrupting too many times! She brought us another bowl of chips when we ran low without being asked, and was overall personable and wonderful! 5-stars for Amanda!! Best post-hike meal EVER. read more

Excellent staff Excellent grub Terrible name. The pork belly rice bowl was super delicious, the guacamole was salty for my liking. I had a side of Lanza farms goat cheese ( chèvre) with chips and jalapeño jelly. And started with the Wings. These wings kill it !! Loved them. The spice blend and crispy light coating were so much better then I expected.Downfall is they only serve house ranch which is super good but I prefer the blue cheese dressing . Sorry I just can't do a place like this for Tacos. You can though,the food is great. read more

I've been coming to this place for four years and although the food isn't great, it's good enough and the service and location always made for the lack of the flavorless food. TO THE OWNER: I visited this location today and I paid $8 for two overpriced tacos because I wanted to help a local business, which now I regret. TO THE OWNER: I've never had worst steak tacos and shrimp quesadillas ever, this food it's plain terrible. I don't know how anyone would return to this place after trying their food. read more

Visited here on a Friday night. The restaurant was very busy but we were able to be seated immediately. It was a very hot night and the inside did not appear to have air conditioning, which was a little surprising. My friend and I had 4 drinks, the calamari app, and 7 tacos between the two of us. Our tab was $90. If the food had been amazing, we might not have minded the price, but it was just ok. The tortillas for the tacos were very undercooked. My friend is from Mexico and thought that the food was terrible. I didn't feel as strongly, but was definitely disappointed that such an expensive meal was simply average. We gave this place a try, but will stick with bar taco in the future. read more

We hated the food here no one liked anything they ordered I had a really regrettable burrito my girlfriend some boiled chicken tacos that she said were dry our friends had nothing good to say about the food but we love the location! Depressing. If you can't make good tacos, shit. read more

I went here with a colleague on a business trip a few weeks ago for an early dinner on a Wednesday. We were promptly seated and the waitstaff was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu. Food came out quickly and our drinks were refilled right on time, although it was very early in the night (we arrived around 5 pm) so the place was mostly empty. I really enjoyed my two tacos and we also got guacamole which was also delicious. My colleague enjoyed his chicken burrito bowl, which did look yummy from my angle. The only downside was that the restaurant was kinda chilly inside - like it had just opened and turned on the heat (which, to be fair, may have been the case). I might have been more inclined to linger and get another beer if it had been just a bit warmer. The restaurant certainly does have fantastic views of the Hudson! read more

After some reservation and time to let this place workout the bus, I finally made it in. And I must say that I was pleasantly surprise! They're margaritas were delicious! We had their chips and goat cheese with chili flake jelly which was awesome! And finally, THE TACOS.... Very delicious! However, while I did enjoy them, I found them a bit over priced averaging $5 per taco. Nevertheless, I'll be back! read more

Good tacos. Huge tacos. 2 is honestly plenty, 3 leaves you sufficiently full. Great flavor profiles. The pork belly is succulent. Chicken has a great flavor and the carnitas is finger licking good. Empanadas are also very good. The service is so-so. read more

The food took 1.5 hours to get to the table after we had ordered, the drinks were all ice, and the waitress treated us like we'd all personally insulted her mother. Not even worth One Star. read more

Celebrated our anniversary here yesterday... it's a cute spot with a very friendly staff. Our server was such a joy. Food and drinks were both good... on the pricier side for tacos but it's a very pleasant experience with a beautiful view. Will def go back.. would like to do brunch next! read more

I'm still sitting in this place as I write this. The spot is not even full and there is open tables so I know it's not the busiest it can be. The hostess is the rudest person ever. She gave us water and my friend ask if we could order relatively soon sense we have to catch a train she mumbled we are busy and walked away. The. She brings out a waiter motions to us waves her hands and says them over there throwing her hairs in the air and stomping off. Now she keeps starring over here and she really should just apologize for having such poor service. We ordered two pitchers of margaritas two dip Patterns and additional drinks. We probably would have ordered more if she was not such a bitch. She should be fired. read more

Service is horrible. My husband and myself went there on s Thursday evening and waited for 20 minutes before someone even took our drink orders. Then figured we would try again went on a Saturday mind you there were empty tables. Then once again after 25 minutes of sitting at a table no one came to take our order or even give us water. After sitting and waiting for 25 minutes we just got up and left. Mind you the hostess did seat us. And it looked like most of the staff including the manger were just hanging out. read more

Really friendly place with good food. The outdoor or window seats are nice, with a view of the train line and river.

Wonderful service and terrifically fresh food. Sit at the bar and let Samantha take great care of you. Recommendations and conversation notwithstanding this place does it right read more

The Taco Dive Bar is a fairly decent dive place with good hush puppies and guacamole, but, I must say I agree with many others that service is not it's strong suit. The young Hispanic man was lovely, but a lot of them lacked the courtesy that I would expect. I hope they get their act together, and realize that everyone should be treated with respect at ALL times. read more

It's perfect for what it claims to be! Our group of 6 had a delicious lunch and a fun time. The service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. Our cheerful waiter was able to answer any questions we had about the food and drink menus. Most importantly the tacos were delicious: many different ones to choose among and all fresh made to order. Nice location with beautiful views of the river. Would definitely go back. read more

Damn ! I'll spare you the long winded review, the place sucks. Long time customer, loved the place, the food was on point. Went today and it was the worst service and the food was less than average. Soggy tacos and greasy empanadas. Asked for (begged for the bill) and the manager tossed it on our table. No "how was everything" , nothing. Never going back, f**k them ! read more

If I could leave a zero star rating, I would. The only nice thing about this food service is location, other than that you're better off spending $10 to make your own tacos at home that I can guarantee would taste 10x better than the food here. The vegetables that were used in my tacos were old & the chicken & beef had little to no seasoning, the service it provides is very poor, the waitresses were all walking around mindlessly instead of attending to their tables, the waitress we had was on her phone instead of coming over to our table to take our order after 5 minutes of calling her over to let her know we are ready. You pay a high price for poor food quality & customer service, I wouldn't even feed the food at Taco Dive Bar to my own dog. read more

Love this place! Shrimp quesadillas and mojitos are my favorites. Staff is amazing and looking out on the water is just the cherry on top

Great taco bowls pork belly is so good but the bathrooms could be cleaner I wouldn't recommend going in there

I think the atmosphere and location are conscientious right by the train station. I went when they first opened and was disappointed they didn't have any vegetarian taco options the only thing I could eat was the nachos. I have been discouraged to return because of that fact but I would definitely try if they added vegetarian tacos! read more

Was driving by this place today and decided to stop in. Tacos and dive bar? How do you lose? Glad I didn't check the Yelp reviews before because I had a great dinner of super fresh guacamole and chips with shrimp tacos as well as portobello mushroom goat cheese tacos which totally knocked my socks off. If I'm ever in Peekskill again, I'll be visiting this joint hands down- and my repeat business is the best review these guys could get. read more

Very good local spot! Great service! Great food. Our waiter Russell had such a great personality and definitely made our experience here so much better! Definitely coming back in the near future. read more

Came here this afternoon with a large group and we were pleasantly surprised both by the quality of the food and the pleasantness of the staff. They've got sass and some people with zero social skills will take that as rudeness, but it was actually quite pleasant to have someone "real" serving! Enjoy the drinks and the tacos, they're grrrrrreat! read more

Ok, first time here and we are in love. The guacamole is better than mine and that is amazing. I had the special Chicken Tostada - holy crap - full of favor. Pomegranate Margaritas very tasty and worth it. My husband had Smoked Natural Black Angus Brisket in a Rice Bowl - he didn't speak the whole meal it was that tasty. We will definitely be back. Side note : Reese is an amazing waiter/host with an outstanding aura - when we come back, it will be on the days he is working! Thank you Taco Dive Bar! read more

This spot has such potential, the location is perfect and they have the right idea but the staff is outrageous and prices are disgusting. $8 for a soggy taco that isn't enough to feed my 2 year old read more

I really enjoy coming here. Taco Dive Bar is a great place for a date or a night with friends. Simple and delicious menu, and they make killer frozen margaritas. I love their pork belly and brisket taco. I recommend those :) I don't know what else to say really. Fairly priced, delicious, good atmosphere, good bar. 5/5. Support local businesses. read more

Great views and convenient location right along the Hudson River (across from the Peekskill Metro North station). The quality of the food is great, however portions are small and prices are high ($4-6 for a single taco). Service fairly slow for midday on a Saturday. All in all, definitely worth a try, as there is no other restaurant quite like it in the area. read more

I have been to Taco Dive bar a number of times. I love the margaritas, and the tacos are decent as well. It was a hot night and my husband and I decided to go there for dinner last night. It was horrible. The busboy was very nice, sat us and gave us menus and water and that was it for 20 minutes. The waiter was obviously busy, but no head nod in our direction, no " be right with you" or even, "sorry we are swamped today", we would have understood. We heard someone else who worked there tell the people behind us that it would be about 10 minutes before they took our order because "it was a mess back there", but we were told nothing. We saw the waiter take an order of someone who came after we did so I had to do the little "excuse me?" and he said, "Ill be right there, Ma'am!" ok so now I feel like a Karen. He came over and said abruptly, "drinks?" we told him. "appetizers?" we told him "entrees?" we told him. He snatched up the menus without another word and left. We got our drinks, they were missing one of mine, I had to ask the busser because the waiter never came back except to THROW the appetizer plates at us. It never came, so I asked another busser when the food came and finally got it. The food came in time and it was okay, not worth the wait or the price any more. I needed a box for my taco as I wasnt hungry anymore, it never came. It took 25 minutes to get the check . It's sad, we used to love it there, but we cant ever go back, it was so bad, and even if they are understaffed, which we understand, everyone is, the nastiness of the waiter is inexcusable. We see other reviews like this, and apparently taco dive bar does not care much about the service, or the servers dont care much about tips, but good luck to all of you. read more

I happened to be in the neighborhood after taking the train from the city to go hiking in Bear Mountain. I'm not big on tacos but this place was near the train station on my way home so I stopped to grab a bite and a draft. I had the portobello mushroom/goat cheese taco and the cod fish taco. The fish one was bland, but the mushroom was really tasty. The ale draft was very nice too. Very friendly and attentive staff. And nice view of the waterside park. Prices are reasonable also. read more

Came here on an empty stomach and came away happy and fortified. On a Saturday, with an event at the Peekskill Riverfront Green, the place was busy . I ordered the BRISKET SCRAMBLE, which was composed of Lanza Farms scrambled eggs over shredded house smoked brisket, fried onions & crispy potatoes w/ salsa verde. Presentation was lovely, flavor amazing. The dish packed heat while retaining the flavors of each component. The brisket was cut with a fork tender. For a drink, I ordered a Blood Orange Mimosa that was one of the best I have had. I also was not expecting my dish to come out as timely as it did given how busy it was. Bartender was pleasant, welcoming and accommodating. read more

I've been reading all the positive reviews of this place. Frankly, I'm puzzled, The service was bad, the $7.00 tacos are regular sized, not large as you'd expect for $7.00, and the only good thing is it's outside and pleasant. I've lived in the area for over thirty years and this is the second and last time we'll be coming here, if you're hungry bring a lot of money! read more

Was I excited to try this place? Of course. Why? TACOS!!!! That quickly dissipated. First, we sat down and were told they were out of wings, shrimp tacos, pork belly tacos, and brisket tacos. We ordered drinks (draft beer and a margarita) and the $8 guacamole/pico de gallo/chips app. Half of my margarita was still in the glass when I left and I've been accused of having a drinking problem in the past. Who taught you how to make a margarita???? Yuck! I was really impressed by the guacamole, though. Seriously, how did you manage to make it have no flavor? Wow! The ultra stale chips mixed in the fresh chips was also a real treat. Also, try seasoning the pico de gallo a little bit. I also really like having to ask to order my tacos after sitting there for 20 minutes because the waitress doesn't understand that her only function is to offer to take people's orders. I'm sure we've all been to Bartaco. It's a fancy trendy taco place and their tacos are $2.50 and $3.50 and they're spectacular. Why is a place in Peekskill with no reputation charging $5.00 for a taco? Hello. *blank stare* Honestly, if the taco was amazing I would pay $10 for it but each one was worse than the last. We ordered 2 ground beef, 2 portobello, 2 of the chorizo, 1 chicken, and 2 pulled pork. The ground beef was just OK. Unfortunately that was the best one. I was shocked at how bland everything was. I saved the pulled pork for last thinking it would be the most amazing. The amazing thing about it was that it had so many ingredients and still managed to taste like nothing. I had to put hot sauce on it. We couldn't wait to get out of there and get ice cream next door. Asked for the check, got it a few minutes later, immediately put the card in the glass and she kept walking by for 10 minutes until my friend finally picked it up and put it in her face. Have you added up all of the wait times yet? Yeah. The ice cream place closed by the time we were done with this debacle. $45 worth of shit tacos. $8 of shit guacamole, $11 of shit margarita. Never having to eat there again? Priceless. read more

Oh, Taco Dive Bar. I wanted to love you. Your location is great and you're definitely a good time, but that isn't going to sustain an ongoing relationship. You've got it nailed on the Bar part. But I was eyeing you up for the tacos. Fact is, the taco menu is short. That ok, though. Usually, short means you're going to knock it out of the park on those few items. Unfortunately, they flopped. And for $5 a pop, well, I felt cheated. read more

Hands down the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. We sat down in the outdoor courtyard, without realising that the tables were supposed to be for groups of 5 or more. The waiter made us aware of the fact, but then kindly said just to keep it in mind for next time and allowed us to stay, then took our orders for drinks and food. As our food was being prepared, the owner came over and told us that the outdoor area was for groups of 5 or more only, and that we would have to wait for a smaller table to become available inside (even though there were 3+ available tables surrounding us outside). When I told him that the waiter who had taken our order had already told us that is was OK for us to stay at the table, and that we would happily share the table with another smaller group, he flat out told us to leave the premises. I honestly cant believe that the owner of a restaurant would be willing to throw paying customers out of his own restaurant, just because they had sat at a table that was 'supposed' to be for groups of 5 or more (even though there were plenty of other tables available). Never in my life have I been treated with such disrespect, and by a restaurant owner of all people. My husband and I will obviously never be going back to a place that treats it's customers so awfully. read more
