We tried all three pork (barbacoa, sweet and roasted), chicken and chorizo. The roasted pork was really dry but the rest were really good. They stuff the tacos so full of meat you could take the second shell off and make a new taco. The service is slow and the place is not much to look at but its a nice hole in the wall Mexican restaurant worth checking out.

Pros -# 1.Tacos were good, # 2.food was good…read more # 3.Environment was good. Cons -#1. Sangrias were weak and not that good. #2. The Flan was the worst I've ever seen. $5 for slop. We ordered it to go after we were finished eating . We ordered four of them. Once we got home and opened the containers I gagged at the sight of them. They are the very worst Flan deserts I have ever seen. I can make a mean flan so I can be pretty picky, but this wasn't even able to be judged because it literally looked like vomit.

Went here a hour after then opened, even though it was slow for them the food was made fast and…read moreperfectly. I give them definitely fast service. The pineapple aqua Fresca was sweet but not overpowering, wish they had strawberry one. For the tacos they bigger than street tacos by a mile and very generous with meat filling. Particularly the shrimp one was impressive since usually I find places that don't use jumbo size for shrimp tacos and just use popcorn size and a lot cilantro and onion to mask it. The consommé dip was incredible and glad they left chucks of beef in it like a little soup. The queso birria taco was not greasy or messy, right amount of cheese and beef. Best place for tacos in Middletown I had.

Some of us got coffees which took a bit but they were delicious. Definitely worth the wait. They have a good kids menu too. We got the frychos with chorizo as an appetizer which I've always loved but everyone at the table enjoyed them. Although I have my regular favorites I decided to try something off the brunch menu and I'm glad I did. I got the chilaquiles with green sauce and carne asada. It was very good. My only complaint was the steak wasn't cut up but that could be a personal preference. It tasted great. My husband got the breakfast torta with chorizo and really liked it. My mother in law got the breakfast omelet and she's very picky but loved it. The service was great the entire time. She even took a group photo for us at the end.

This place…read morehas become one of our go-to spots, and they continue to deliver a great experience every time. We were seated right away when we arrived, which was a great start. Our waitress, Angela, was awesome--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. We were quickly brought chips and salsa, and our drink order was taken. My wife ordered a margarita, and I went with a mango iced tea, which was really refreshing. We decided to skip appetizers this time and went straight to our entrées. My wife ordered the chicken Milanesa sandwich, which she absolutely loves--it's a staple for her whenever we come here. I ordered the combination platter with enchiladas suizas, a gringo taco, and a chicken quesadilla. Everything came out hot and tasted great, just like it always does. I also asked about one of the tequilas and ended up ordering a shot, which was a nice touch to the meal. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and excellent service, the whole experience was fantastic. Frontera continues to be a reliable favorite for us, and we'll definitely be back again--as usual.

I had heard about this restaurant from a coworker and decided to give it a try! I called to try and…read moreget reservations for 2 but they only take reservations for a party of 6 or more. We got there around 7:30 on a Saturday night, and there was no wait! The establishment is actually quite large! We were immediately seated by the hostess. They brought out chips and salsa as soon as we sat down. The salsa is a bit spicy so if you have a sensitivity to spice, this will definitely have a kick! We waited about 15 minutes for anyone else to come over. Try hadn't even brought us water, which I was hoping they would've because the salsa was starting to burn! Our server (Natalia) finally came over and was very pleasant. We placed our order and the food came out timely. We both ordered the churrasco steak. The steak itself was very good, however the churrasco sauce they serve was bad. It was only oil. I ate my steak plain. The white rice had a tangy taste to it, and the beans had some grated cheese on top, which I could have done without. We had the tres leche for dessert which was DELICIOUS! If I go back here again, I will definitely try a different dinner dish. Aside for the long wait to get water and to get a server to come over, I would definitely try this place again. It has a nice atmosphere and good music playing in the background. I just hope that the service is good on a busier night.

No bueno! Not ordering from here again. They're several consistent Mexican restaurants in town, with better tasting food.

Fui a El Tapatío, un restaurante mexicano en Middletown que, en teoría, tiene cuatro estrellas…read more Pero la verdad, mi experiencia fue bien distinta. Pedimos un plato más caro, como carne asada o fajitas, y fue una decepción total. La carne estaba salada y de un corte muy barato, se notaba que era un invento improvisado. Además, el lugar estaba casi vacío, solo la dueña atendiendo, lo que muestra que no les va muy bien. En resumen, por el precio que cobran, no vale la pena y le pongo 2 estrellas.

We waited over 30 minutes after we ordered our food (enchiladas, not complicated). Our drinks weren't refilled and the food was good, but not great. I'm from Texas, so maybe my expectations are too high for New York State. If this is heralded as the best authentic Mexican in Middletown, then I'm definitely skipping any Mexican food the next time I'm in town.

On the outside, it has that small town, dark northern tavern vibe. On the inside, it's lively and brightly decorated with gorgeous carved & painted furnishings, many featuring the saint for whom the restaurant is named.

I ordered the longaniza con papa taco, a friend ordered the chilaquiles, and my partner got a combo plate with a taco, enchilada, and chile relleno. We were very pleased with all of our selections--and I heartily recommend the longaniza. Our server was, given how busy the restaurant was, prompt and very kind.
