L A Guadalupana Deli-mini Market

Home cooked Mexican/Central American food that tastes like your Abuela would have made for you. This is the most homey Mexican food I’ve found North of Del Rio. Following the other great reviews here we found our way to this unassuming Bodega/restaurant while escaping the I-84 traffic jam on old Route 22. The whole family was delighted with the food. We had tamales like I used to get from street venders in Cuidad Acuña back in the 80’s. The tacos were tasty bites that the kids demolished with great gusto. Cheese empanadas for a bit more snack with cheese and cabbage garnish. The sauce for the tamales was very tasty, mild and fine for the kids soft tongues. We finished with a wonderful horchata, made in their own kitchen. It was so much better than the commercially sold horchata that there is really no comparison. For desert we snagged a chocolate covered frozen banana from the bodega and our delightful south of the border meal was complete. We will gladly stop again and will recommend this hidden gem to all our traveling friends!

My first visit to this place across from Pawling Train Station. Looks like a bodega/grocery store on the outside but we were thrilled to see there are menus and seating space next to the grocery area. Our meals took a while to be served but our wait was rewarded by generous portions and great flavors. There were plenty of shrimp but minus one star for the beef being tough.This place needs to be frequented by more folks than the locals we observed. I plan to return there soon!

I have not eaten in for a meal. But La Guadalupana makes the best Guacamole in Pawling! I also love their authentic beans that are sold in the store.
