    The food was decent nothing to rave about honestly...maybe for dobbs ferry its a good spot. The guy working at the bar when we first walked in was friendly nice and totally accommodating so we expected the experience to go that way. My friend and i came in from the city after a long day at the park with our kids. You could tell from the get go our server seemed like it was going to be a lot for her to handle but honestly what ensuring theres enough water on the table for a party of 7? We got one bottle and glass cups for the kids. Which didnt cover half of us to have water. The constant can we please have more water was becoming annoying honestly. The space cant hold a ton of people so there really shouldnt be any form of "it was a busy night" But the second to worst part was at the end when I gathered all the dishes off the table and piled them up on the edge of the table to be taken (essentially helping them out) no one collected the dishes while they walked by at least 4 times and even when she gave us the bill they remained there. But the worst part of it all was when i ordered my sons rice and beans on the side of his burrito it didnt come and when i asked for it she told me the entire meal had to be replaced...kinda confusing when we just wanted it on the side...so i told her to forget...but it gets worse...my friend goes and orders another burrito for her kid (happy jack i believe it was) where its totally different from what my son ordered...and instead they serve my sons original order with the rice and beans on the side and not my friends sons burrito (my kid ate chicken my friend and her kids are vegetarian so do the math) Anyways we let them know this isnt what we asked for and our server (i guess which was expected from her) caught major attitude and told us we werent clear But when we point to the dish and say another order of only rice and bean burrito...u know its amazing how people are offended over non sense when in fact it was simply the flustered server who was over whelmed from the moment we came in. Apologies are not necessary because we get it all smiles come in when the bill hits. Over priced and over rated when u break it down. Two stars go to the guy at the bar and good weather that day.

    Fish tacos

    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!

    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

    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.

    Really nice place, but you never get enough salsa with your chips. Good thing the burritos make up for it. Green Machine is the best.

    BEST burrito I've ever had. This place blows Chipotle out of the water. So many unique menu options, flavor and extremely vegan friendly.

All the ingredients for a good restaurant...but My question about the fish tacos - hopefully a healthier choice, are listed as "breaded fish" on the menu. I asked "are they fried?" I was answered "no". Truth = The tacos are tempura fried Tilapia strips. The chef then smothers the crispy fish in a liquid turning the fish and tortilla into a soggy mess. Ordered a glass of house rose...which is not identified by brand or year, was undrinkable. They kindly replaced it with a mixed drink. So a menu in need of better execution and a BTG wine offering that needs replacement. Nice location and great views!

On Tuesdays Detroit style pizza - THE END. We ordered the Bianca - Sausages, Garlic, Broccoli, Baby Kale, Cremini Mushrooms and Mozzarella. It took a while but well worth the wait. The pizza was delicious - thin crispy crust, it was like bitting into a loaded crispy, chewy 'potato chip' Very reasonably priced Will be back One star off for room temperature red wine
