We also got the carne asada plate to share which was fine. The main part of the meal was this appetizer that I ordered, Chiles Gueritos con Camaron wrapped in bacon.

The sauce they provided was also insane, which tasted like diluted A1 sauce, but worked really well with everything.

So why only four out of five stars then? It is mandatory in my rating scheme that I would be willing to do a 30+ min detour just to dine or drink here, and as much as I loved the place: that would be a tad too much to ask. So if in the area and have a craving for a great burger, fries and a beer: you will be very very happy here.

This place is 'Da Bomb" !…read more Kinda disappointed to see this on Yelp, cuz it has long been a local's secret...but hey, its a great experience... Pros: the creator is known out here as "Radio Mike" cuz he is the Mix Master! He finds the most unusual and rocking music... and plays it using only Solar power charged batteries! Yes, Really! This is an Off the Grid Fri night Party happening! Local Musicians show up and take turns playing their music around a campfire...peeps hang out by the Tiki Bar with their own booze that they bring and share with friends...(BYOB) Head Hunter's Lounge is Friendly, Lively and Really Hip! Cons: If you set up camp right next to him and want peace and quiet on Fri nights to watch your satellite TV, it will be a little noisy...so plan on camping somewhere else if that is your thing...or plan on joining the party every Fri night! Here is a short article that tells you more about this cool cat: http://www.slab-city.com/slab_city_artist_mike/ PS...This happens from about end of Oct or early Nov to April/May depending on when he comes out here to set up camp.

The place is decorated with all kinds of random quirky stuff, totally my kinda vibe. The pizza was good the beer better and the company the best! Definitely a spot worth making the trek out for!

Was craving Mexican food while in town and found this lively spot on Yelp. And boy am I glad I…read moredid. This place is best described as a trendy, somewhat upscale Mexican restaurant. The ambience is awesome, dimly lit with lively music bumping. Not only is the environment lively, the food and drinks are AWESOME. I sat at the self seating bar as I was dining solo. The bartender, very friendly guy, took my order. Forgot his name but he is a good looking guy, which sort of fits the upscale scene. Every table gets complimentary salsa tray which I presume has avocado salsa, verde, mocajete, and limes. The salsas were DELICIOUS. I do wish they gave some complimentary chips along with it. Everything I ordered: Carne asada burrito, substitute beans with rice - 9/10. Was very delicious especially when accompanied with the salsas. For the drinks: Oaxaca Old Fashioned - 10/10. I love old fashioneds and they nailed it here. Instead of whiskey, they use mezcal which was delicious. Agave Spritz - 10/10. Mezcal with prosecco. Fantastic. No words. The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is including prices of the cocktails on the menu. After finishing eating I had no idea what the damage would be but it turned out to be very reasonable, $13 per cocktail. I wish I gave this place a shot earlier during my work trip, but anyhow if I am ever back in town, this is in my highly recommended list of restaurants. They also had one projector screen showing the World Cup game. They also have Happy Hour 3-6 PM. Parking is plentiful, shared with the rest of the plaza. Would I come back? You bet.

Apologies did not take a picture. I will update as I want to go again before I leave town.

Cute ambiance, amazing wait staff and good value for the quality and portion size. The bread brought for the table was perfect crispy outside, soft inside. All the dishes were well made. I took a lasagna plate to go for my adult son and he loved it as well. Best part is how well-trained their staff is; I ordered a diet coke and they let me know they were out and offered other suggestions. I went with a water but not five minutes later they came with a diet coke! What kept them from 5 stars? There is no dedicated parking lot and the area around them (north of them is fine but south down the street is another story) is sketchy at best and doesn't seem particularly safe to park your car on the street. The menu is not very broad, but overall a very nice experience!

The garlic bread was just bolillo bread (the kind of bread you eat with menudo) with butter and garlic seasoning. The chicken wings were also really soggy and for some they were all dark brown on the inside. It was really unappetizing to see. The Alfredo wasn't too bad. I don't think I will be trying this place again.
