The Armadillo Staff have created a special place for Southwestern & Mexican cuisine with a Nuevo Latino twist in Kingston, NY.   The cozy place is decorated with soft desert colors, and Merle or Greg like to greet all the customers to their Hudson Valley 'casa' in Ulster County.

 

Merle is also a community activist, and animal activist, and she couldn't see people leaving their dogs in a car while they ate, So now the Armadillo has a beautiful, large outdoor seasonal space where well behaved pups are welcome.

 

 

Merle is also on the Steering Committee of  HVAA An organization that raises money to help persons living with HIV/AIDS. 20 years ago she founded a soup kitchen in the Kingston. The soup kitchen is still in operation at the Clinton Avenue United Methodist Church. 122 Clinton Avenue, Kingston, NY. Lunch is served to about 100 people a day-Mon thru Fri.

 

 

 

 

The Armadillo offers exciting dishes with the spice of the Southwest.

All of the food is made from scratch using the best quality and freshest ingredients., including the salsa and chips. The grilled fresh fish and sizzling fajitas are the house specialty!

 

Our Chef infuses Southwestern & Mexican cuisine with fragrant spices

and a Nuevo Latino twist.

 

We aim to please a variety of palates and our menu includes 

creative vegetarian dishes as well.

 

It's a small Tex-Mex place tucked away in a former industrial section of Kingston’s historic Rondout district, just a couple blocks away from the 'popular' waterfront where most of the restaurant-goers  and tourists congregate.

 

A very happy band of colorful beaded desert lizards and kokopelli figures adorn the walls. The interior is decorated in an warm pastel theme with faux wood and painted Spanish ‘‘tile work‘‘ thanks to the talented painters of "Interior Concepts". Each tabletop is an individual work of hand painted art.

 

The Armadillo's margaritas are legendary.

And Merle's carefully picked staff will simply delight you

and make your experience worth coming back for more.

 

 

Take out is available...order two dinner entrees or more to go       
and we'll include our homemade Chip & Salsas...a $5 value
