New Nelly's - Poughkeepsie

I am never order here again!! I ordered a beef empanada and I got an empty one!!! I seriously thought it was a joke. It wasn’t ????. Do not come here !!!!!

The steak and onions, oxtail, and beef stew are all very tasty. The only problem I have is that they use way too much salt in everything. With all the flavorings that are used, all the salt isn't needed. All dishes come with rice and beans. The service is good as well.

Staff was nice. Portions were good for a small plate was $10.

I’m not gonna lie, since the change of the new owners years ago, anyone who knew the old Nelly’s ; it was different. The food wasn’t as tasteful, rice wasn’t as fresh, portions of meat become less and the prices went up. This was a favorite food spot of mine that quickly time and time after coming back started to decline. Needless to say, I always come back in hopes of a different outcome. Going in yesterday I’ve had the best meal from there in a while. The pork shoulder had wonderful flavor, the beans weren’t over salted and seasoned. I am so impressed with this location as it’s always been my favorite one. Will be back again. Lady helping me was also a sweetheart.

Went to a friend's birthday party who purchased food from here. Was amazed at how delicious the empanadas were!Perfect crust and filled with delicious meat. I tried the chicken and beef and both were on point! Immediately brought me back to childhood. It's been a long time since I had empanadas like this. I will for sure be going here. Online shows the price per empanada at $2.50 and my friend said they paid $3.50 each. Still a good deal but you may want to verify price changes before ordering large quantities. They were the first thing to go. Didn't get a chance to try anything else but my husband enjoyed the rice and beans and a few other things.
