It was ok. Not the Mexican food flavor that I truly wanted. Friendly service. My husband tried the green guac and jalapeno sauce, apparently that was outstanding.

The service was great. Friendly & punctual. Food (huevos rancheros) was very good. They serve breakfast until 1pm. Inside is very quaint with a fireplace and tables. The outside is enjoyable under the big pines.
