A little to cozy (small). Way hot inside. There was good attention from servers but maybe to fast to feel personal.

Fantastic food!! Definitely fine dining. Service was very good and the atmosphere was casually quaint. Looking forward to going back when they have the outside seating set up. The food was artistically presented and very flavorful.

Really good Mexican food, near Smith Rock State Park. I was struggling to find some food options and really hungry after an amazing walk through the park, and this place came up as a top option. The service (and owner?) were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food came out fairly quickly. I had the quesedilla fajita, and the ingredients were really fresh and the meat well-cooked.

Holy guacamole! Stopped by while passing through and was super impressed. Atmosphere was classy with Latino flare. The blackberry and mango margaritas were more complex than the typical Mexican restaurant and were perfect. The food was great and the server was attentive and prompt. Will definitely come in for entrees next time!

Happy, busy place on a Friday night. I was traveling and wanted food to go. I ordered the flautas. These weren't like any I'd had before. They weren't crispy. But they were filled with delicious crab. The sauce was perfect. It probably would be better nkt as takeout because since it wasn't crispy it got soggy. The margarita hit the spot. The gentleman serenading customers were delightful. The owner was there and as busy as everyone else. It's small and only seats maybe 50 people tops so be prepared to wait at hugh volume times. It's worth it. I'll return next trip through.

Authentic Mexican food. We had Guacamole Rio and Chili Relleno, both dishes were so delicious and vegetarian. They do Gauc in front of you which is pretty cool. Servers are really good and service is fast. Highly recommend this place.

Food was very good--high quality & fresh. Great service & very clean and comfortable. Stopped on a road trip not knowing what to expect and were very pleased. We came at an odd time of afternoon so not sure if we missed a lunch menu or not, but portions/prices were dinner in my mind.

Thumbs up across the board. This is most definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to in Oregon! I was expecting standard fare and had a truly excellent meal instead. They are a wee bit spendy, but clearly worth it! I particularly loved the making of the guacamole right there at my table with ingredients of my choice! You won't be disappointed here!
