Guidebook for New Paltz
Food Scene
I highly recommend this Mexican Restaurant, mostly because it is truly authentic. The specific food available is from a village in Oaxaca, Mexico. You can even order fried grasshoppers here! Don't come here expecting to eat burritos and tacos, but I do recommend you try the tlapas and mole.
