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.
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 went on a very busy night. Start of a Holiday weekend. The staff seemed to handle the crowd well. Our servers did a fine job. I had a shrimp meal. It was edible. That’s about it. Since I hadn’t eaten all day it was eaten. However.. the shrimp were so over cooked they were unrecognizable! The tails were the only thing that identified them. Terrible chewy bites. Ok. I did eat it. First time there. Never again. The other three in our party did not complain.
