“ It has been 24 hours and I'm still dreaming of my carne asada taco salad. My daughter loved her enchiladas. And then there were that salsas presented when we sat down. The bean dip was sensational. I have not had tomatillo salsa like the one they had since the San Francisco days of Parilla Suiza in the 80s. It was phenomenal. All of the salsas...just fantastic. Ivan was a great host...just fantastic Mexican food that will be a destination for now on. ”

“ Really good food at a great price. The chipotle beans were great by themselves. Nice outdoor sitting area too ”
“ Looking for some Mexican food for our 1 night stay at the Campground. Not sure why the bad reviews, but the service and the food were both amazing here! The "sampler platter" gave a little taste of everything, the hubby LOVED the Camarones Al Mojo de ajo and his sangria margarita (don't forget the tajin)! The beans with the chips were prefect to start and the staff were all extremely attentive and accomodating! Highly recommend. ”
“ Best taco I have ever had! We tried the fish, shrimp, beef tongue and roast pork tacos and all are good! Love the cute paintings on the wall too. ”
