After touring Hearst Castle, we stopped here for a late lunch. Considering that they sell typical Cal-Mex food, not much different from any corner cafe, the prices were outrageous. We paid $90 for lunch for 2 adults and 5 kids, and we ordered very carefully to keep it that low. Even though we were about the only people there, service... more

For a small restaurant, the service was amazing, attentive and really friendly. My daughter and I really enjoyed the food. It's authentic and closer to home cooking. We loved the flan for dessert. I make flan at home and it was just a good. It's not an "upscale" restaurant, but I love that. I've had enough of those places that... more

Writing this while sitting at the table waiting for our check. Horrible food. If u have ever had mexican before it was probably better. Service is pretty bad although the guy hasn't stopped smiling. Not a good place to eat at all. Go down to the cafe! more

Nastiest tasting mexican food we have ever had! Expensive for a family. They also added an 18% gratuity for our meal and we had to ask them to bring two of our plates out because they forgot. more

Oh, my God! Don't go here! We should have known to leave when we heard the folks at a nearby table complaining about "the worst service I've ever had in my life" to someone on his cellphone. But we thought the guy was just being rude. No, he had it right! These people are the sloooooooooowest ever and when they... more

This was very, very average mexican food. Not very tasty at all and I LOVE mexican food. The view was spectacular though and the grounds were landscaped very nicely. I say sit on the terrace and enjoy a pitcher of margaritas, the chips and salsa are free!! more

We stopped by this place on our way to the Hearst Castle. Our server was friendly, the food was tasty, plentiful, and reasonably priced. I had the shrimp wrap - a huge dish ($13) of whole wheat tortilla filled with rice, veggies, beans, and shrimp. Delicious guacamole is served on the side. My fiance had a beef burrito ($10), also... more
