Ty's Taco-ria West End — Restaurant in Town of Oneonta

Ty's Taco-Ria West End is inside the Wakeman Coffee building on west end. They serve a small variety of Mexican style food and some others.

Generally, the food there is ok, albeit expensive for what it is. The current state of quality, however, seems to have declined. All tacos come with a hefty amount of topping addons, but very little meat or main portion.

Starting with the better of the tacos, the BBQ Pulled Pork was ok, flavor was good, but was unfortunately soaked with liquid from the other tacos.

The Street Corn Taco did not have much flavor, and the corn itself seemed old or hard, as it was chewy with little flavor and poor texture. It was also very wet from its own liquids, none of which added any flavor. This taco is more cilantro than street corn, for those who are soap leaf averse, this is a soap leaf salad.

The worst taco, the Greek Chicken Gyro, came with chicken that seemed like jerky as it was so hard and difficult to chew. Very little flavor, and just soaked in liquid which also soaked every other item in the pack.

The chips, despite looking very dark, actually tasted fine with a good amount of salt.

Small bite foods are an excellent addon for a coffee shop or small store. They add something special to stop in for besides coffee or snacks or drinks. Unfortunately, the current state of food here is more reason to avoid the location,...

I had a lovely beer at the Muddy River Farm Brewery Taphouse, and I figured I'd grab a snack at the same time. All they had were chips, because it was 2:30pm or so and they weren't fully open. I ordered the chips and guacamole for $7, and wound up with a generous portion of freshly-made chips which soaked the little bag with oil, and a tiny, tiny plastic bin of guac.

I don't like to complain, but this was so bad that I just had to say something, and the chef was pretty cool about it, and explained that it's hard to get avocados in CNY in April. They offered me another tiny bin of guac, which probably would've been enough to eat all the chips with a little bit of guac, but I figured I was already blowing my diet as it was.

I guess as a former Californian, I gotta get used to the fact that avocados don't grow on trees (here).

That said, the guac was pretty tasty, as were the chips, and the folks in the kitchen were friendly as I was whinging about the quantities.

I'd probably try something else there, but I'd ask some questions about quantities...

The tacos and nachos here are fantastic! They use fresh ingredients, the flavors are on point, and the portions are super satisfying. I’m so glad they partnered with Muddy River and became a permanent staple in Oneonta—it’s such a great fit!

My go-to tacos are the pulled pork and classic beef—both are packed with flavor. They also added a Hawaiian Chicken option which is also fabulous. As for the nachos, you really can’t go wrong, but the street corn nachos are my favorite! They’ve got a little kick and are super shareable thanks to the generous portion size. Definitely worth a stop if you're craving some delicious...
