Reviews for La Charla in New Paltz, NY
The first Mexican restaurant I've been that doesn't provide free chips, and left me hungry with a main dish. A $24 Camarones a... la Diabla comes with only 5 shrimps, a sadly few slices of avocado and tiny bowl of rice in a huge open plate! Other dishes aresmall as well. A Mexican restaurant with dishes not with regular Mexican portion. Read more

We stopped by there for some mexican on our way to New Paltz Started with drinks, their Margaritas were really awesome, we... loved it. But the service was quite slow even when the place was almost empty. Food wise, we ordered Tacos and it was good , itook the chicken ones which i felt was too dry, but their authentic beef ones was very nice also the shrimp ones. We waitedlong for cheque too, probably he forgot so wasted quite a time. Read more
Food was pretty good and the atmosphere and service was very good. Oddly expensive for some things that would be complimentary... at the vast majority of Mexican restaurants. Tacos were relatively normal priced, same with quesadilla, nachos and drinks butyou have to pay $4 to get chips and salsa for the table and an extra $4 to add refried beans to a $14 enchilada. Rice came withthe enchilada but most places serve beans with it for no additional cost. Menu not descriptive at all but the food was prettygood so I gave 4/5 Read more
I stopped in for taco Tuesday to try this spot. We were seated immediately and service was on point and courteous. We ordered... the chips and salsa to start with and those were great. Fresh, warm, and lightly salted chips. Salsa was thick and a tad salty,so we didn't need to dip a ton. The amount of salsa to chips ratio was great. In addition to that we ordered the Baja fish tacosand the birria beef tacos. The fish tacos were nice but only came with a tiny container of salsa. We weren't a huge fan of thetortillas they used. Not sure if they were old or fresh and not our type. The birria tacos came with a beefy thick sauce thatwas overly salty. It was difficult to eat or dip the tacos in. There was also a small container of what seemed like a spicy beandip. I had a really nice kick, but the fact that it was more bean based threw things off. The beef wasn't as tender as I'dprefer and had more chew. I wish there were more balance with tomatoes, cilantro, onions, peppers, etc. But maybe that's justhow the Oaxaca style is and I'm unaware. Overall, if I come back it'll be for drinks, chips and salsa, and not necessarily thetacos we ordered. Chicken might be the better option. Read more
