The food is alright and the restaurant is clean and well decorated, but I was not impressed by the experience we had here. When we first arrived, we were told that they would be right with us, but we ended up waiting 15-20min before they sat us. The service was nonchalant, and when it came time to bring drinks or food, the server just put everything at the end of the table and expected us to pass it eachother when she could easily walk to the other side of the table. No extra effort, no smile, didn’t ask if we needed anything else. We asked for an extra side of guacamole and it came out slapped on a plate, not in a pretty bowl like the salsa. We ordered a glass of milk for my sister, and when it came we could clearly tell it was old and gone bad since it smelled and tasted sour. We drink a lot of milk at home, so this was very obvious to us. We told the server it didn’t taste right, and she had the audacity to tell us it was low fat milk so it is normal for it to taste like that. She didn’t offer to get my sister anything else and also didn’t remove it from the bill, eventhough she took it from our table. I normally don’t hammer on below average service and would still tip my typical 20% but since we were a party of 6, they charged us a mandatory and automatic 18% gratuity which feels like they can’t trust you to tip or something? The service also felt like they knew they were getting that 18% tip anyway, so they didn’t even try to give us a better experience. On top of that, they charged us $2 to split our meals since some of us were sharing… and 4% card fee on top of that. If you’re hurting for money, make your menu items a bit more expensive, don’t nickle and dime your customers….

Have been coming here for years. Our kids used to get the chips and salsa and challenge each other to eating more because it was so hot to them. It’s not that hot, but on our most recent visit they had to do it again, obviously. Love this place, food is good, service is usually pretty prompt. It can get hectic if you show up and there is already a bunch of people waiting, which is normal especially on holiday weekends.

I don’t know how this place works but everytime we need a refill or something , we have to call our server in the other room where the staffs were just there chit chatting while customers were in the same room with us. mind you , we were only 5 customers at that time.
The food is typical nothing really special and so is the ambiance.
Will we comeback here in the future if we happen to visit the area, i don’t think so.

Everything was amazing! My wife got the shrimp (spicy) and she loved them. I got the tamales and they were great. We definitely recommend eating here!

Decent, average Mexican food with a good amount of space inside and a nice patio with several tables. The drink options are limited, seems like they must have a pretty militia liquor license. The chicken enchilada was average, ready quickly, and the staff was decently friendly once they got around to taking my order, which took a bit. There’s plenty of parking in the general area with a few other shops. The prices are very reasonable and they have a full menu of all the basics. They bring out complimentary chips and salsa before you order.

Still my favorite place in the mountain for great Mexican Food. Weather on the deck was amazing and set the mood. Food was fantastic. She ordered the Sope with asada and a Fish taco with beans. I had the Steak a la Mexicana with the green sauce and asked for them to spice it up. Big flavors that keep me coming back each time. Don’t miss this one .

Stopped by to order a couple chimichangas for takeout – the tables were mostly full. The waitress was super friendly and told me about 20 minutes. My order was ready by the time I made it to the Big Trees market and back. The food was great – spot on for Mexican comfort food

If you like Mexican food, you won’t want to eat here, even if desperate. Their salsas are basic and off flavor. The refried beans must be out of a can, and the chips are tasteless. What’s sad is that it’s been this way for over a decade. Nobody seems to care or know how to prepare good Mexican food. Better options down the road.

We stopped by on our way back from skiing (this restaurant became part of our trip. Food is great, staff genuinely happy to help (though they can get pretty busy), and the restaurant feels so authentic. This restaurant is a gem.

Way better than you would think. I wouldn’t exactly call Arnold spoiled for choice in food options, so they’re very lucky they have a place like this.
Business was pretty slow when I was there. Was served quickly and the food was really good at a reasonable price. Get the enchiladas. Portion could have been a bit bigger but otherwise I was pleased.
