Carlitos Tequileria, now open at the Palisades Center in West Nyack, NY, brings an exciting and elevated Mexican dining experience to the Hudson Valley. From the team behind Carlitos Barbecue Taqueria, the restaurant highlights bold Latin American flavors alongside an expansive bar menu featuring tequilas, mezcals, and expertly crafted cocktails.
The menu offers something for everyone, starting with appetizers like guacamole made with smoked cherry tomatoes and queso fresco, a salsa tasting with a variety of bold flavors, crispy pork belly chicharron paired with chipotle honey and guacamole, and smoked wings tossed in Buffalo Morita sauce. Other sharable options include street fries loaded with Menonita cheese, guacamole, and jalapenos, and Carlitos Nachos topped with corn, black beans, and pico de gallo.
For tacos, expect hand-pressed tortillas and vibrant fillings. Options include Birria with consomé, Oak-Smoked Brisket with avocado salsa, Crispy Fish with jicama slaw, Crispy Shrimp with cilantro crema, and vegetarian choices like Sweet Plantains & Cheese with refried beans. Each taco is also available as a quesataco, where seared Menonita cheese adds an extra layer of indulgence.
Signature dishes from the grill and smoker include Skirt Steak Churrasco with chimichurri, Shrimp al Carbon with herbed butter, and a Carlitos Burger featuring Black Angus beef, avocado, American cheese and jalapeños. Soups like the hearty birria pozole with white hominy and salads like the wood-fired romaine with walnuts, yucca, and cotija cheese round out the menu.
Carlitos Tequileria also boasts a standout cocktail program. Favorites include the Jamaica Blossom, a blend of mezcal and hibiscus with sea salt lime foam, and the Elotero, a mezcal cocktail inspired by Mexican street corn. For something bold, try the Carajillo, a Mexico City-inspired espresso martini with Licor 43 and espresso. Agave flights are also available for those looking to explore the nuances of tequila and mezcal.
Located on the fourth floor of the Palisades Center (4370 Palisades Center Drive), Carlitos Tequileria offers a vibrant space to enjoy Latin American cuisine and expertly crafted drinks. A happy hour program is set to launch soon, making it a perfect spot to gather with friends and family.
