Carlita's Cocina

Went looking for a small locally owed restaurant, and found this wonderful little place. Wasn't sure what to order so asked them for suggestions with a few provisions. No corn and couldn't be spicy. They do have gluten free and vegetarian options here.

I ended up getting a quesadilla with chorizo and a salad. The quesadilla was filled nicely, plenty of Vermont cheddar cheese, roasted plablano peppers and chorizo (see photo). They also include a side of sour cream.

You could eat it easily without it dripping all over. I had enough for two meals. Yum! Made to order.

The salad was so fresh. Made with spring mix of lettuce, lightly pickled red cabbage, diced red onions and tomatoes. Served with a tangy dressing. So good! Again so full, that I had enough for a second serving. Make sure to mix it up to appreciate the flavor combinations.

Overall. A great place. Just wish they had a place sit outside and eat. I ate in my car. (They do have large cut blocks of granite??, that you can use as a seat.)

Definitely recommend if you like Mexican cuisine. Bring a blanket or chairs and enjoy the view along with the excellent food.

My boyfriend and I are from lower NY 20 mins from the city. He is moving me in and we stopped by to get some tacos. These are honestly the best tacos we have ever had in our lives. Every taco is amazing and they are affordable and quick! They also have the best location!! We will be returning and making it a twice a week tradition!!!

Seriously the best Mexican food I've had since Arizona. Super friendly staff. Absolutely stellar food. AND it's right by the river. So you can have tacos and go swimming or lay in the sun!
