    Man, I hate to say it but TT has slid downhill. 3 bucks for a hardshell taco? No! Its a Taco Bell clone with some added onions that taste like Sabretts Onion Sauce. Miniscule amt of meat, just like TB. My beef burrito was 80% beans. I know times are hard, but come on - the quality has suffered from a year or 2 ago... such a shame. Used to love this spot.

    yellow rice and beans with sausage hard shell taco fajitas

    always drive by here to the bank and finally had to try based on a co-worker praise. yeah, I get it is a hole in place with a tight parking a lot, but I think the place is charming. so, the mother and daughter team behind the counter are super friendly and sweet, makes feel welcome and makes sure your order is right and what you're getting with your choice. so, I ordered a chicken fajita, pork hard shell taco and yellow rice and beans with sausage. I really wanted beef for everything instead, but they informed me they ran out of beef, and they were 30 minutes before closing so fair enough. food took a while, but i understand, its only one-person making it. so, after a while i got my food, I was thanked and asked if i wanted sauces, there hot sauce is really good. hard shell taco was pretty good, shell was crunchy, the meat was plenty and tender, not too much lettuce and tomato being filler, fajita was more like a burrito honestly, but the chicken inside was yummy and cheese fully melted and gooey. yellow rice was fluffy and hot, beans and sauce they were in was yummy, loved scooping into the rice. sausage was alright, felt it was over cooked, since it was bit dry. overall, this place is decent and very cheap, pretty good value for a $10, quick meal pick me up.

    Small menu with everything you need to bring your soul to happiness

    Best Tacos I've had between Poughkeepsie and Newburgh so far! It's a very small location but everything on the menu is seasoned to perfection. I was questioning the sautéed onions on the taco at first glance, but after tasting the marriage of meat, cheese, onions, and homemade hot sauce I couldn't understand why I never had a taco like this before. I strongly suggest getting an empanada (meat pie) with every meal. It's a great added bonus for your soul. The staff is very friendly and the wait is not very long, even with a large line. As of May 2018 they now except credit cards. Since I was told about this spot in March, I've gone at least 1-2 times a week for lunch. Don't hesitate like did. This place has excellent taste.

Inside was nice with plenty of seating for groups and AC to keep you cool on hot summer days. Acoustics were great we were able to enjoy our conversation without having to yell over loud music. Bathrooms were clean with a touch of Puerto Rico as ambient coquí frogs sing in the background. The staff were amazing, friendly attentive and helpful. Our waitress was top notch took care of our coffee and food orders with a smile on a rainy cloudy day. Ordered the Coquito latte, delicious- paired with the sweet and spicy chicken and Coquito batter waffle!! Wow the flavor was great didn't even need syrup. Loved the contrast of sweet and salty. Great portion sizes for the price. My wife got the Coquito French toast with scrambled eggs hash brown potatoes and bacon served on a charcuterie board. Eggs were fluffy and delicious the French toast was soft and buttery.

    We really wanted to try this place because we love Puerto Rican food and there's not many options…read morein the area. The dining area was clean, neat and very classy. Waiter was nice, wasn't sure of menu items (ingredients and how to explain them in the dishes) and so we just went off the menu. We got 4 empanadas (2 chicken and 2 beef - they were good), 3 shrimp mofongos, and 1 chicken chunks with rice and pigeon peas. The price for the mofongo was high but we were like we love this dish so we need to try it. We get a medium sized mound of plantains with the shrimp already inside of it. That's fine BUT with the parts of the shrimp already mashed into it, I didn't even have 3 full compete shrimp, inside or in the side. The sauce that came with it, was oily, thick and not flavorful. The price was too high for the quality and food we got, or lack there of. Not even a side salad or anything to go with it. I left my mofongo because it was too dry and the overpowering of garlic, was too much. The other 2 with my same dish, expressed the same things as me. The chicken chunks dish, he couldn't finish them because they lacked flavor and because the coating looked burnt. However the chicken was tender but had no flavor at all. I tried it and left it on my plate with the mofongo I couldn't finish. Service was great, but food is lacking flavor.
