Craft Tacos and Tequila opened last week in Mohegan Lake. The casual sit-down eatery occupies the space that recently housed the Dog Haus and Biergarten. The restaurant officially opened on Friday, March 22nd. When we visited this past Sunday afternoon for lunch they were still in their soft opening and working out the kinks.
This is a seat yourself eatery. There were a limited number of physical handheld menus and using the QR code menus located at the tables was encouraged. We were notified prior to ordering that there was an approximately 30-40 minute wait for food. The kitchen wasn’t quite ready for the crowds. It was a nice gesture to have the staff alert guests of the expected wait time so we could manage our expectations appropriately. My husband and I were willing to stick it out. Service was on point with friendly and attentive staff. They were constantly checking in with us and clearing plates.
The restaurant still has the same layout of the former Dog Haus restaurant. However, the walls are now adorned with bright murals and cute sayings like “Feed me tacos and tell me I’m pretty” and “Tequila may not be the answer, but it’s worth a shot.”
If you wander further into the restaurant closer to the bathrooms, you will see art hanging on the walls. The art, including paintings and photographs, are created by local area artists and has been curated by the owner. The pieces are available for purchase. (Please go see these photographs in person! The glare from the lights (and my reflection!) does not do them justice.)
The peppers themselves were very good. We felt the flavors of the toppings were a bit overpowered by the heat of the peppers and the Asian dipping sauce didn’t quite meld well with the Mexican flavors.
Mexican Caesar Salad – Romaine, Cotjia Cheese, Crispy Tortilla Strips, Pumpkin Seeds, Caesar Dressing
This salad is large enough to share and we did! It was still a challenge to reach the bottom of the bowl. It’s a pretty standard Caesar with a few twists but was tasty nonetheless.
Classic Baja Taco – Beer Battered Cod with Cabbage Slaw
A classic fish taco. The tangy slaw was a nice addition.
Bang Bang Shrimp Taco – Bang Bang Sauce, Fried Shrimp, Cabbage Slaw, Sriracha.
The Bang Bang taco was surprisingly spicy and flavorful! You could tell that the tacos are made with quality ingredients and care. Both tacos came on corn tortillas which unfortunately didn’t survive getting picked up without falling apart.
Although I am not a meat eater, online reviews note that the Korean Short Rib Taco and Birria Tacos are winners. They also offer wings in a variety of flavors.
The day of our visit the restaurant was out of several items like the Kung Pao Dumplings and the Mexican Street Corn. They offer two desserts: a Tres Leches and Churros. I had seen pictures of the churros online and was excited to end our lunch with an order, so I was a bit disappointed that they were sold out.
Since we are not big drinkers, we can’t comment on the tequila or cocktails. However, the large bar that was in Dog Haus remains. There are 12 beers on tap and they offer fountain drinks and also sell bottles of Jarritos.
Craft Tacos and Tequila is a welcome new addition to the Mohegan Lake restaurant scene. In a Facebook group post, one of the owners Andrew Hamerling noted that they are working out all of the kinks. They hope to be adding takeout soon and their goal is to give guests “a great and enjoyable experience.” However, they don’t want to take on too much, too fast. As a new restaurant, customers must give the business time to find their footing. Please be patient and give Craft Tacos and Tequila a try! We will be back soon so I can try the Mexican Street Corn and the churros!

Oh hi, remember me?! How have you been? I’m sure you’ve noticed that it’s been forever since I posted anything here on the blog. It looks like I haven’t written anything in this space in over five months. It was a much needed break as I’ve been trying to figure out what I should do with this space.
Life has been busy. With one teen heading off to college in the fall and another teen who is busy with sports, activities and hanging out with friends….there’s a lot less family time. I’m thankful for all of the trips, outings and restaurants that we have visited as a family and you can read about a lot of them here on this blog. However, I can’t continue to write about family-friendly activities when realistically my kids are almost adults (wow that’s scary!) and quality family time is rare.
Being away from the blog for so long, I realized that I continue to enjoy writing. This blog started way back when I need a creative outlet. After my longer than expected hiatus I have decided to continue writing this blog. I still love to explore the Hudson Valley, so you will continue to find posts on restaurants and local attractions. I also plan to continue posting the monthly activity calendars. However, I plan to expand the blog into the wider lifestyle space and cover more topics including parenting, culture, books, entertainment, beauty, food and whatever else catches my interest and hopefully yours!
I am thankful for everyone that stops by to read my little blog and I hope that you continue to enjoy the content! Feel free to also follow me along on Instagram as well! NY Foodie Family is back!

Hello Friday and hello October! It’s been a busy and exhausting couple of weeks. I didn’t have time last week to write a Five on Friday post! This past week I was home isolating with COVID for most of the week. Last night we had Back-to-School Night for my teens. Fortunately, my husband was able to go as well, so we were able to each follow one child’s schedule! I am looking forward to a three-day weekend where I can actually go out! Here are five from this week:
1. COVID – Last Friday I woke up not feeling well. I got progressively sicker throughout the day. Saturday I took a COVID test and tested positive! I’ve had to isolate at home for five days. I was cleared to return to work yesterday and have to wear a mask through the weekend. I’m feeling much better and now only have a lingering cough, like I experienced the last time that I had COVID.
2. Amazfit – I recently purchased an Amazfit Band. I’ve used a Fitbit in the past and it was okay and I don’t need or want an Apple Watch. I want to be able to track my steps and my sleep and this band has received decent reviews. So far, I’m happy with it. It gets the job done for a super affordable price. I’m not sure if coughing impacts heart rate, but I took this picture right after a coughing fit, and ten minutes later it’s down to 83.
3. Reading – Last week I was able to finish reading Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington. Overall, a super unbelievable YA suspense read. I also finished Everyone Here is Lying by Shari Lapena. This was an okay suspense read.
4. Eating – Last week I enjoyed this Spicy Shrimp Tempura Roll from Whole Foods.
This mushroom, roasted pepper and mozzarella sandwich from Cam’s Deli.
5. Watching – I’ve started watching Bachelor in Paradise. I got through about half of The Golden Bachelor, but it’s just not keeping my interest. I’ve also been watching Dancing with the Stars, which I normally don’t watch, plus RHONY and Real Housewives of Orange County. I’ve had a bit more time to watch television recently!
I watched the movie Champions on Prime Video. Woody Harrelson is a basketball coach who is court ordered to coach an adult special needs basketball team. It was a real feel good movie!
6. Field Hockey Games – My daughter’s field hockey team is currently 11-1. I’ve had to watch her two most recent home games streamed on my laptop but it’s still been so exciting! There are four more games to the regular season as well as her upcoming senior game. As of now, they are currently first place in their league.
7. Memes – Some posts seen on the internet this week:
8. Puzzle – I’ve been working on this Nickelodeon 90’s 3,000 piece puzzle (again) for weeks. Having to stay isolated for days gave me time to finish it. Even though two pieces are still missing, I’m keeping it, since it’s such a challenging puzzle.
Also, current situation. I’ve saved this old puzzle box to help sort pieces on whatever current puzzle I’m working on. But both my cats like to sleep in the box!

Hello Friday and happy fall! I can’t believe how quickly the days are going by! We have Monday off for Yom Kippur and I am looking forward to a three day weekend. Here are five (+2) from this week:
1. Birthday – Saturday was my birthday. I went out to dinner but otherwise it was a regular, busy weekend day. My daughter worked Saturday night and came home from work with this cannoli cake for me since she knows it is one of my faves.
2. Birthday Dinner – My husband and I went out to our favorite restaurant Brothers Fish & Chips. We did the tasting menu again and enjoyed eleven delicious courses. Our first course was this shrimp ceviche with a fried lobster claw. Every dish tasted so good and was so beautifully presented!
3. Reading – Sadly, I haven’t had much reading time this week. I am reading the YA mystery/thriller Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington but haven’t finished it this week. I try to read a few minutes before bed but I’ve been so exhausted that I can barely keep my eyes open.
4. Cooking – For dinners this week we had Taco Pasta, breakfast burritos, spaghetti with Beyond Meatballs, fried rice with Trader Joe’s scallion pancakes and vegetable dumplings and popcorn shrimp with mac and cheese. Mostly quick and easy dinners!
Matthew Broderick as Richard Sackler and Uzo Aduba as Edie Flowers in Painkiller, with the televised version of Unch in the center. Netflix
5. Watching – My husband and I have been watching Painkiller (Netflix) and we are really enjoying it. I haven’t had much time to watch anything else this week.
6. Field Hockey Games – We’ve been to 2 field hockey games this week and my daughter’s team is killing it. They have a 6-1 record almost halfway through the season! We are hoping they make it to Sectionals again this year.
7. Movie – Did anyone else read Lessons in Chemistry and love it? The show is premiering on Apple TV+ in October and I’m very excited!

Happy Friday! Another week has flown by! It’s been a long week, so making this short and sweet! Here are five from this week:
1. Reading – This week I finished reading Cul-de-sac by Joy Fielding. I had to take a hiatus on reading this book when I was trying to finish my library’s book bingo. One of the boxes was to read a one word title. I took a poll in my Instagram stories as to whether Cul-de-sac is one word or two since my husband and I couldn’t agree. I thought it counted as one word but my husband didn’t. The poll results were fairly split, so I chose to read a different book.
I read Stamped by Jason Reynolds to complete the box. It’s a non-fiction middle grade/YA read about history and race. It’s very well written and informative.
2. Cooking – I made Three Cheese Baked Pasta and there was enough for leftovers, which saved us a night of cooking! Other dinners included Trader Joe’s Spinach Tortellini with Alfredo sauce and salad, veggie burgers and fries and pierogies with roasted broccoli. No major cooking going on since we are so busy.
3. Watching – My husband and I watched Adam Sandler’s You Are So Not Invited to My Bar Mitzvah (Netflix) last weekend. I thought it was pretty good. My teen daughter enjoyed and recommended it. I was impressed by the acting ability of Sandler’s daughters, who play his daughters in the film.
4. Field Hockey Games – Our world currently revolves around my daughter’s field hockey season. They had a game last Saturday and this past Wednesday and Thursday, all of which they won! I caught this sunset at last night’s game. As always, the picture doesn’t do justice to the beauty of the actual sunset.
5. Guilty Eats Posts: I’ve still been writing for Guilty Eats. Here are some of my recent posts:

Hello Friday! School officially started Wednesday for my kids! Here’s to a great senior and sophomore year of high school! We didn’t love the 95+ degree temps. Thankfully, I work in an air-conditioned office because it was brutal! The kids’ activity schedules have already started getting crazy which is taking some getting adjusted to, so I’m exhausted! Here are five from this week:
1. Senior parking spot – A senior tradition at our high school is painting your assigned parking spot. Sunday our family spent most of the day finishing up painting my daughter’s spot so it was ready for the first day. It’s hard to see the different shades of orange in the sunset and the bright orange sun from this picture.
2. Reading – This week I finished reading The Drowning Woman by Robyn Harding. This was a good suspense read!
3. Cooking – We will be eating a lot of frozen, already prepared foods for the next couple of weeks. I am hoping to get to Trader Joe’s this weekend for a stock-up! This week we made Spaghetti with Crispy Zucchini, chik’n sandwiches and fries, salmon rice bowls and Kung Pao Cauliflower.
I also made these biscuit breakfast sandwiches over the weekend which were a big hit with the family.
4. Watching – I haven’t been watching much TV this week. There just hasn’t been time! My husband and I are still watching Only Murders in Building (Hulu) and Top Chef (Peacock). I finally finished watching the first season of The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime) and bawled my eyes out watching the season finale! I’ve started the second season and don’t know what I’ll watch when I finish it!
5. Drinking – I haven’t been drinking alcohol. However, my husband and I shared this Angry Orchard Blueberry Rose. When I did drink more, hard cider was my drink of choice. And this blueberry rose is really good!
6. Meeting my new nephew – Saturday we visited my brother-in-law and his family in New Jersey. We got to meet my new nephew who is now 9 weeks old! He is adorable! We just wish our kids were closer in age! There is a 17 year age gap between my daughter and her new cousin.
7. Field Hockey Games – This week my daughter only had one field hockey game, since one was cancelled due to the heat. They had their first win of the season and we hope they continue their streak at their tournament this weekend!
8. Too Good to Go – I’ve written a blog post about Too Good To Go. Sunday night we ordered a surprise bag from new-to-us Morris Park Pizza Express and got all of the above for $5.99 (plus tax). It was a cheap and tasty dinner.

Happy Friday! I cannot believe that it’s the first of September! It was a pretty busy and fun week! Summer is officially winding down with our last weekend before school starts! I’m hoping to enjoy these last few days before the crazy schedules begin. Here are five from this week:
1. Sushi Lunch – Sunday my daughter had a rare day off. Knowing that this was our last opportunity to go out to eat together as a family before school started, we asked the kids where they wanted to go. They both agreed on Kura Revolving Sushi. We got there super early and enjoyed delicious sushi without a wait! We enjoy this place so much, that there’s an entire post on the blog about the restaurant. Then we headed to the Palisades Mall to do some back-to-school shopping for them.
2. Eating – Saturday I was in Danbury shopping and picked up some Crumbl cookies. I hate that these are so expensive, but they are so good!
This weekend we visited Sweet E’s, a new ice cream shop that opened this summer in Cold Spring. My husband and I shared this homemade cider doughnut stuffed with honey lavender ice cream. It was soooo good!! They have homemade ChocoTacos and mini ice cream cone flights that I need to go back and try!
I don’t think that I’ve ever posted about these Trader Joe’s corn chips. I’ve been eating them all week at lunch with my Chik’n Caesar Wraps. They have a little kick to them but are very flavorful. Be careful though, the packaging of the regular corn chips looks very similar to these. I’ve made the mistake of getting the regular corn chips by mistake and being very disappointed!
At The Dave Matthews Tribute Band (see below) I enjoyed this shrimp roll from Captain Lawrence. It was surprisingly very good!
3. Reading – This week I finished reading Hot Dog Taste Test (for the food related book) and Tokyo Ever After (for the location in title book). These are for my library summer reading BINGO challenge or I would have never picked them up on my own! Tokyo Ever After was actually a pretty cute YA book.
5. Watching – My husband and I are watching Only Murders in Building (Hulu) and Top Chef (Peacock).
I’ve been watching the first season of The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime). I read the first book in the series ages ago and don’t remember it at all. It’s very teen oriented but I’m really enjoying it. Plus, I’m still watching my Housewives (RHONY and Orange County).
6. Trivia Night – Tuesday night we went back to DogHaus for another trivia night. Sadly, this time we didn’t come anywhere near close to winning! But they have good food and serve lots of local beers.
7. Field Hockey Game – My daughter had her first field hockey game of the season. It was against the best team in the area. They aren’t even in our school’s league, since their district is so much larger than ours. So, they didn’t win, as expected. But, I’m glad they played this team first, and they have the rest of the season to win!
8. The Dave Matthews Tribute Band – Last night after the field game we went to the Kensico Dam to see the Dave Matthews Tribute band. This was a free concert put on by the Westchester County Parks Dept. It brought back such great memories of high school and college when I was very into DMB! The band was so good and sounded just like the real Dave Matthews Band!

September 10 (Yonkers) Traditional and Contemporary Japanese Music at the Hudson River Museum. 2 PM. Free with general admission. Join Masayo Ishigue and Miyabi Koto Shamisen Ensemble for an immersive experience of Japanese traditional and contemporary music in the exhibition galleries, surrounded by Kengo Kito: Unity on the Hudson. The four musicians will play the koto, a plucked half-tube stringed zither, and the shamisen, a 3-string instrument that resembles a banjo. The koto, the national instrument of Japan, first came to Japan from China and Korea in the seventh century. Initially found only in the Imperial Court Ensemble (gagaku), the koto later took on a life of its own both in and out of court society. Today the koto is one of the most popular Japanese instruments, despite its tradition of being limited to art and chamber music. The shamisen originated in China and came to Japan through Okinawa. The exact date of its arrival is unknown, but reference to the shamisen’s presence in mainland Japan is found in early Buddhist scriptures. Masayo Ishigure began playing the koto and jiuta shamisen at the age of five in Gifu, Japan, and has created an extensive multi-faceted career that continues to stretch the limits of the koto while maintaining a strong grasp of the tradition. After initial studies with Tadao and Kazue Sawai, Masayo became a special research student in 1986 at the Sawai Koto Academy of Music. The academy incorporates many influences from classical to jazz and aims to change the perception of the koto from solely as a traditional Japanese instrument to an instrument of universal expressiveness.
