Fish tacos
Amy P.

Had a nice wonderful lunch here. Sat outside at the umbrella tables. Ordered a chicken taco salad and a Baja fish taco. Salad was excellent with a delicious poblano dressing and chicken was juicy, unlike the leather chicken that usually tops a salad! Loved the quinoa and watermelon that was hidden in the salad! Fuss tacos were crispy and perfectly done with a cold slaw on top. Yum! Loved my mango margarita and chips and salsa! Very friendly staff that give great service! Bravo!

Burrito

I wouldn't say I was blown away by anything, but this place does the job. The restaurant is small, but has a festive atmosphere, outdoor seating, ok food, and reasonable prices. I ordered a watermelon salad, which truthfully was quite boring since it was mainly cabbage. However, in all fairness, I had gotten my hopes up because that morning, I happened to see a few incredibly appetizing watermelon salads on Pinterest. While my own experience was a little disappointing, I can tell that there are other dishes here that are better. The rest of my party was very pleased with their burritos/burrito bowl. In short, I'd simply say "ok". (However, I got to say, major bonus points since I didn't feel sick afterwards)

When we entered the place, we were greeted by Skye, who would be our server. She had a big smile on and made us feel welcome. The place has many vegan options which was nice to see! The nachos we ordered tasted amazing! The toppings included vegan chili, beans, cheese and guacamole. We also ordered the sauce sampler for only $3. The samples weren't as small as I thought they would be. The sauces had a range of flavors from sour to sweet to spicy. We were not too fond of their chocolate sauce sample but it was nice to see something different! The shrimp fajita bowl tasted very good. It was a good mix of spicy, saucy, crunchy. The shrimp tacos were a little bit spicier than expected so I had hard time finishing them (if you can't handle spice, I advise not ordering it). Overall, I did like the place! Skye was very attentive and helpful, the place was clean, prices were affordable and the food tasted great. A solid 4/5!!

Sister restaurant to Grass Roots Kitchen in Tarrytown (and Sweet Grass Grill I think?), Tomatillo is a super laid-back spot for grabbing unique Mexican fare. Located steps away from Broadway in Dobbs Ferry, Tomatillo was grab & go for me. The setting has nice color bursts, an awesome Brick wall and unusual props. Menu doesn't just stop with tacos because it's filled with lots more. And just like their other two restaurants, menu here is personally right up my alley with Vegan and Vegetarian dishes and some Seafood. Plus there's chicken, red meat and pork items too. I skipped the Vegan "bacon" quick and Chipotle aioli from getting to my Tacos. But I overlooked a few ingredients I can't have for lifestyle, dietary reasons or just because I'm me- like the coleslaw I picked out of a Taco. Flavors were decent though- plus these guys don't play around with substance because my 3 Tacos were crammed with either Seafood or Cauliflower. This is a very nice concept- but my only complaint is these guys just use 1-ply corn tortillas and my Tacos totally fell apart. Tomatillo has a nice buzz though and looks like it's everyone's favorite joint. Service was ok the short time I was there- plus there are a few other things I'd like to try.

Steak Fajita Bowl
Cookie F.

Tomatillo has changed significantly since it first opened, so if you are best off not relying on old memories of what this place was like. The layout, service, and food has changed for better and for worse. The restaurant no longer offers the homey, unique ambience that it used to; instead, Tomatillo feels like a chic, unassuming cafe one might find in a college town. The service is fair and the menu bears no surprises, though the food itself is quite tasty. The homemade salsa is wonderfully spiced, the burritos are decently sized, and the bowls offer a superb combination of flavors. The steak fajita bowl in particular was the perfect for a quick meal out (steak cooked perfectly, rice and beans not too heavy).

I order from Tomatillo once a week because they offer so many vegan/gluten free options! They have the best burritos! I've tried their fajita bowls, nachos, burritos, tacos, rice & beans and soups which have all been fantastic. My personal favorite is there Feeling Buff Burrito and the Cauliflower tacos.

See all

Friendly staff! The food could have been better, but I assume that's why the prices are reasonable.

As should be obvious, Barley is a bar on the river next to the Marina in Tarrytown. It's by commuter parking which is kind of a pain in the butt. Whole place is outside, so it is a rather dependent. It's also not a yacht club or something, so expect no frills. Bartenders are friendly just the same. Not the cleanest tap lines, however plenty of good bottle and drink options. Prices are higher than they should be however not unreasonable. Lots of tables however they do get snatched up quick; luckily the bar itself is nice. Food is of the greasy spoon variety. If you get French fries or something like that, you'll be happy. They don't have a Michelin star (nor should they) so don't get too ambitious. Plenty of fine options for lunch. They have live music a lot, and the performers are pretty good. Want to see a bunch of old white people dancing? This is your spot. My toddler led us here, literally following the music from the playground across the water, and we had a great time. Very enjoyable place overall that is greater than the sum of its parts. Just come chilled out and you'll enjoy it.

The fries were the star because they were skinny and crispy! I loved the cozy restaurant and the charming decor. The service was great and all the waiters and waitresses were outstanding! The beautiful view of the Hudson River was such a bonus! The weather was chilly for spring so we sat inside but I've been here before and sat outside which was amazing! We had a variety of desserts but my favorite was the olive oil carrot cake. Wow that cake was super moist and tasty! If you want a nice view and good food, I would suggest giving Red Hat on the River a try.
