El Azteca Mexican Deli - Poughkeepsie

I used to enjoy easily ordering at Mexican restaurants, and this place satisfied my craving. The food was delicious, and the staff even inquired if I was vegan to ensure my meal was prepared and served correctly. There were plenty of options, and many dishes could be made vegan. I ordered the soy Al pastor tacos with rice and black beans.

The restaurant offered several vegan choices, including tacos made with soy chorizo. These vegan options were included in the taco Tuesday special at no extra cost.

From west coast to the east coast, even Chicago which often has the best Mexican, this is the best Mexican I’ve found with Vegan options. I ordered the Soy Al Pastor tacos and added rice black beans. It was probably the tastiest vegan meal I’ve had in a long time. So tender, juicy flavorful. The green red sauce they bring you initially with chips is to die for. Green one is my favorite. Wide selection of Mexican sodas. Great place for vegans, vegetarians meat eaters to go to together. Something for everyone. Staff was SO NICE!!! Inside is festive and colorful. We choose to eat outside. They have a lovely patio area with murals decor. Incredible dining experience. Will absolutely come back when I’m in town. Would definitely travel just to come here. The food my daughter ordered (not vegan) look fabulous. She really enjoyed it! Never saw multiple plant based options at a truly authentic Mexican eatery. Do yourself a favor and get here!

We recently had a fantastic lunch at a Mexican restaurant where we tried Spinach and Mushroom Tacos and a specialty burrito with chipotle mushrooms and black beans. It was the best Mexican cuisine we've ever had, delicious and reasonably priced!

I really enjoyed the experience of dining at this Mexican restaurant. The staff was very attentive and even inquired about my dietary preferences, ensuring that my meal was prepared accordingly. There were a variety of delicious vegan options available, and I decided to order the soy al pastor tacos with rice and black beans. It was a satisfying and flavorful meal.
