Delightful, clean and prompt service. Friendly staff. The food was fresh and vibrant with flavor. Steak Fajitas and the Jalepeno Rollanos and the Presidente Margarita. Everything was served hot and flavorful. Then the view, wow! The interior was beautiful, well decorated and clean.

The food is tasty and plentiful. The atmosphere is boosted if you sit next to the windows overlooking the Creek. It's beautiful watching the water flow while eating dinner or lunch.

Best Mexican I've had in a long time and amazing service in general. Compared to the snobbish restaurants downtown in Woodstock, this place is a gem!
We. Love. This. Place! The chimichanga is truly divine. All of their ingredients and sauces are fresh and excellent quality. All homemade. They are real chefs. By far the best Mexican/Tex-Mex in the area. They also have an epic outdoor seating deck right on the river. One of our favorite spots in the entire Catskills. On top of all that, they are super sweet and friendly people. Bear Cantina rules!

Great place with amazing food. Tacos al pastor were delicious and the homemade habanero hot sauce made then even better. The decorations and atmosphere are also perfect! Great place to stop after skiing at Belleayre mountain.

Amazing experience. We were able to pick our own table and we sat next to the beautiful roaring fireplace . My partner and I both got the Mole Enchiladas , one with chorizo and one with chicken and they were amazing. Extremely warm and cozy experience on a cold December Saturday . I highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back!

Been to Woodstock 3x now and so upset I haven't been here all the times before!! This was so delicious. The buffalo wings were soo crispy (definitely a 10/10), the burger and fries were super good, and the chicken quesadilla was bomb. Will ABSOLUTELY be back! Service was great and the ambiance was amazing; so cozy.
