Bold tacos, house-made guacamole, and real salsa just minutes from the slopes at Windermere Ave.
Somewhere between a long day of snow tubing and the drive back home, Mexicanzingo became the answer. Tucked on Windermere Avenue in Greenwood Lake, NY, this restaurant has earned a 4.6-star reputation from over 326 diners who keep coming back, not because there are no other options, but because once you taste the food, you stop looking.
The guacamole here is the kind people describe in reviews by name. It arrives fresh, properly seasoned, and paired with a salsa that regulars call well-balanced rather than just hot. The tacos come double-wrapped, a small detail that signals the kitchen actually thinks about how food should be eaten, not just plated.
Mexicanzingo draws visitors from Warwick, Tuxedo, and the wider Hudson Valley who have quietly made it their go-to for authentic Mexican cooking in a region that does not have many options at this level. First-timers tend to leave as regulars.
The menu at Mexicanzingo is built around the fundamentals done right. Street-style tacos anchor the experience, double-wrapped and loaded with your choice of protein, with the carne options drawing particular praise from repeat visitors. Every table starts with house chips, fresh salsa, and the guacamole that has become something of a local legend.
Beyond tacos, the kitchen turns out a full range of Mexican classics, from enchiladas and burritos to combination plates that let you sample a little of everything. The portions are generous, the flavors are direct, and the kitchen does not cut corners on spice or seasoning.
Mexicanzingo also works well as a group stop after outdoor activities at nearby Greenwood Lake and the surrounding trails. The dining room handles families, couples, and larger parties without the chaos, making it a reliable choice when hunger hits hard after a day outside.
