Mexican • $$
“The best Mexican food in the area with great ambiance! I love coming here when we're visiting because the food and service are consistently on point. This evening we had an a wonderful waiter with a beard. I didn't catch his name but we received great service from him at our small table for two by the fireplace. The restaurant does close early (8pm on Fridays) for some of us LA folks who are used to eating dinner much later on; however, I do love an early dinner so the closing time didn't bother us. We had the guacamole and the key lime pie for dessert - both were good. I also appreciated that they took down our phone number so we could step outside the restaurant while we waited. Street parking is very easy on the main road. They are a walk-in only restaurant, so do be prepared for a wait (especially if it's rainy weather).“
“The entire fish fry is a delightful culinary experience, showcasing the natural flavors and textures of the fish in its entirety. The crispy exterior gives way to succulent, flaky flesh, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Whether it's served with a squeeze of lemon or accompanied by zesty sauces, every bite is a testament to the freshness and quality of the seafood. It's a classic dish that never fails to satisfy seafood enthusiasts looking for a delicious and satisfying meal.“
“We had the pulled pork sliders and artichoke spinach dip. Both of those were really good! ? It was kinda dark in there (bar area) but it's a cool place. The bartender/server was nice, and he kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything. We went on a Monday night, so nothing was going on, but we'll be back for sure. Thank you!“
“Two different locals who work at fine establishments in Los Alamos recommended this spot for their "pinsas" (not knowing what that was). We went there and sat by the fireplace ordering exactly that! Wine and Pinsa on our evening date was lovely. We were so glad it was recommended!“
“I've never been anywhere like Cali Love before! Such fun vibes with pink all over (love it) and a unique tasting menu with two bubblies and a few other sparkling wines that aren't on the menu. They stay open until 10pm and have karaoke some nights. You can decorate a guitar pick to add to the wall. The server was very friendly and let us try a couple things that weren't in the menu. And they're dog friendly!“
“Staff here were awesome and very cool. I enjoyed the ambiance here and will absolutely love to come back when I'm in the area. A huge bonus is they are the only place to carry my favorite beer within a 60 mi radius. Great selection of alcohol here for sure!“
“The food was excellent! The service was perfect. The atmosphere was very enjoyable. The after dinner margaritas were exceptional. We came to Solvang as a four day three night vacation. The restaurant was suggested by our daughter and it was a perfect fit for our trip. I would recommend this restaurant to any and all who stop in Solvang. Thank you Joe and Steve for all you do to make the experience so enjoyable.“
“We hadn't been here since pre-covid, so we were wondering how they'd survived and evolved. Pleased to say they were BETTER than before covid! EVERYTHING was top notch, from the cocktails, service, and all of the food! My whiskey sour and my girlfriend's greyhound cocktails (both up) were both awesome, and made with high quality mixers. I had the french onion soup appetizer, and it was rich and delicious! My 16 ounce prime rib was expensive at $72, but PERFECT in every way...in temperature, seasoning, and quality of cut. To be honest, I had a bit of sticker shock when I first saw the $72 price point, but they absolutely nailed it, so I can't really complain. They really delivered! My girlfriend had the fried chicken sandwich, and she's a bit of a fried chicken sandwich connoisseur, but she also said that they made it to perfection, and she was very happy with it. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the SYV!“
