She makes eating there feel like you are in her home. Every thing tastes so fresh. Last time I was there I had the shrimp tacos, yesterday I had a chicken burrito grande. And it was GRANDE.

They also have a food truck at the Farmers Market near Vassar College. Give them a try!

I cannot speak for authenticity, but this is surprisingly damn fine Mexican food in the…read morePoughkeepsie area! It's a bright little restaurant on the corner of the Main Street. I believe it's the owner who was serving at the time and even aside from my interaction, she was super kind and helpful to others. There's plenty of classics on the menu but there's also some more unique foods like Sopes or Tlayudas. I ordered the Tlayudas with chicken tinga and devoured it (apologies to anyone who saw me sloppily making my way through) Tlayudas reminds me of a giant tortilla chip with its toppings piled on top. Think lettuce, queso fresco, avocado and beans. A knife was provided but I found it easier to tear into the tortilla and eat with my hands. Paired with a Tamarind Jarritos and free chips and salsa, it was a satisfying meal after a long day of hunger. Overall, if you're in the area looking at the foliage, stop by El Azteca for some marvelously delicious Mexican food!

We've visited Poughkeepsie several times, but thanks to the Karpo app, we discovered this hidden…read morehole-in-the-wall gem that we somehow missed before. The restaurant is small and cozy, with just a handful of tables and street parking available. We were lucky enough to grab a parking spot right in front of the door, which was a great start to our visit. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Their service made us feel right at home. For food, we ordered the Korean Grill Tofu Buns, Pork Dumplings, Banh Mi Sandwich, and a Fruity Pebbles Milkshake. As someone who had been craving vegan bao buns for quite some time, I was thrilled to see them on the menu. The Korean Grill Tofu Buns absolutely delivered and were one of the highlights of the meal. The Banh Mi Sandwich was another excellent choice, packed with flavor, and the pork dumplings were delicious as well. The real surprise was the Fruity Pebbles Milkshake. It was definitely unique, but honestly one of the best milkshakes we've had in a long time. Fun, nostalgic, and incredibly tasty! Our only disappointment? This restaurant isn't closer to where we live. If it were, we'd be regulars without a doubt. A fantastic find, and one we'll definitely return to whenever we're back in Poughkeepsie.

I'll be honest, I was disappointed by my experience here. I absolutely love Mexican food and, being…read morenew to the area, was excited to see this business with an immaculate reputation on Yelp. I did come at an in-between time (around 3pm), so it's possible that this was a one-off, but it was so meh that I'm not sure I'll be back to give it another shot (if I do, I'll come right at lunch or dinner time). The good: the mole was fantastic! Even with a mediocre meal, this stood out as amazing. The portions were generous. I thought at one point the woman asked if I wanted chicken or beef enchiladas, and having never had beef enchiladas I said "beef please." It turns out, I received chicken enchiladas with a portion of skirt steak on top (see photo). Again, very generous. The decor was lively. The misses: The beans were quite bland, to the point where I was surprised...it's such a foundational element of Mexican cuisine, but they needed more spices / a touch more salt. Also, my wife ordered the veggie wrap and it was bland. It contained lots of different vegetables, but somehow they weren't seasoned. I know vegetarian burritos aren't all the craze, but when I took a bite of it, I agreed...it was just vegetables, no seasoning at all. Nice to have it on the menu for folks like my wife, but why not season them first? Maybe it was an oversight. The horchata was different from what I've had in the past...not bad, but not something I would recommend either. It was watery, lacked any cinnamon flavor, and had ground almond on top, which was interesting (maybe this is regional?). Without the dynamite mole and the generous portions, this would be a 2 star review, but I can't, in good conscience, give less than 3 stars with mole like that. But the beans...womp womp.

They also have dessert empanadas with apple and guava and cheese. We got the beef empanadas and the apple pie with powdered sugar for desert! The apple pie empanadas were soo good!

Los Hornitos Bakery…read more Let me tell you ahead of time that this is a Sweet Treat Heaven! You will definitely want more than one dessert. Don't say I didn't warn you. Los Hornitos Bakery has plenty of parking right outside their door and it smells really nice as you walk in. Everything is perfectly displayed and I wanted to try one of everything! Their displays are filled with plenty of beautiful cakes, cheesecakes and cookies to choose from. You can get an entire cake or a slice or two.. or even three haha! They have a big refrigerator fully stocked with cold drinks as well. To start, I ordered the Churrasco sandwiches. Steak, cheese, avocado, tomato and mayo. It comes with a hot sauce and honestly, I don't like any kind of hot sauce. I was reluctant to try it at first and so glad I did because talk about a pleasant surprise! It has an amazing flavor that brings the sandwich to life and it's actually not hot & spicy! Food came out hot, tasted fresh and came out with perfect timing even though the bakery was quite busy. It's hard not to hear others conversations and it's obvious they have many happy customers. Ok, so now, let's get to the sweet treats. I got a meringue covered cookie with dulce de leche inside. I was excited for this as meringue is a favorite of mine but, unfortunately this treat was extremely dry & crumbly, difficult to eat and lacked in flavor. It's messy and would advise to steer completely clear of tasting it in your car. My second treat, a Bailey's Almond slice of cake. It was soft & creamy, light & fresh, excellent flavor and comes with a pipette of Bailey's Irish Crème. Almonds were crisp. It was so delicious I wish I had bought 2 slices! I recommend this as a Birthday Cake actually. It's impressive. Not overly sweet. You must try for yourself ! My third treat was a slice of Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Parcha is my #1 most favorite flavor and it did not disappoint. Classy. Flavorful. Balanced. Creamy. Decadent. Highly recommend. I'd even go as far as saying it's 'romantic'. It's a perfect dessert for the holidays and special celebrations. Excellent choice for dinner guests or date night. If you're looking to make a good impression, this is the dessert to have served! Last thing I ordered was a regular hot coffee with milk, to go, hot and flavorful just how I like it. It really hit the spot and made me smile! I truly appreciate a great cup of coffee. Looking forward to trying out their iced coffee and other flavor options on my next visits. Let's not forget another sandwich to try out !

I finally got a break during the week to come on a Monday for lunch but came to find out they only have a limited menu on Monday! No ramen!!! My friend and I decided to stay for lunch anyway and tried the surf & turf and chicken Tika. I have to say, the food was soooo good!! The surf & turf was so well cooked, medium rare on the steak, tender salmon, very good mashed potatoes. My friend also really enjoyed her chicken dish. The food was well portioned and we were both satisfied after cleaning our plates without any leftovers. The only reason I didn't give 5 Stars is because I didn't get to have my ramen!
