What an amazing place tucked away in Cloverdale, CA. I just got off working 15 days in a row, and my family and I wanted to share a quality meal together. Quality is an understatement about this place. From our waitress to the amazing food, to the check, it was perfect. I'm beyond grateful for having dinner at this amazing location and truly believe I have found a new favorite spot to get a bite to eat. I am very picky and tend to be a diva when it comes to food, but I promise you that the food, service, and atmosphere will send you home with a smile on your face. ENJOY!

I'm working in northern Ca from out of town. Happened to pull into the parking lot and noticed this quaint little restaurant. Wow, what an eating experience, the food is absolutely amazing and the staff and service is nothing short of first class! I had the mole enchiladas and am looking forward to visiting again soon!

Very good Mexican food. Quick, and attentive waiters. I had a pick up order, that they quickly prepared. Chips and salsa that came with the order, were delicious. I saw a new menu item that I had never seen before, called a "Gringa". The premise is, pineapple and marinated pork combination, and the 'dish' is a carved out half pineapple! It was a beautiful display to say the least. I love pineapple, so I decided to try it. Ironically, the only thing from making this a perfect dish... was it needed more pineapple mixed with the pork.

My friend and I were looking for a place to have lunch and she looked up restaurants near our location and this came up. I had the shrimp fajitas and was extremely satisfied. Great portion for the price. She had the asada fajitas and a mango margarita and we walked away full and very happy. Definitely will try and stop here again.
