    Tacos!
    Marc P.

    What a great place to stop for lunch! There wasn't anyplace to pull over in Klamath Falls in the RV so we forged on to Merrill to have lunch! I'm always a sucker for some street tacos and boy we're they good! Don't hesitate to stop here if you're hungry for some good Mexican food!

    We stopped in both ways to and from Reno. It's the perfect stop after many long hours on the road. Casa Villanueva is perfect in every way. The chimichanga was massive and the best I've ever had. The horchata was a delight and the service was great! The little building is so quaint. It's like a little oasis in this small town. It truly was a delight to stop here along our road trip. I don't think I'll ever be back but if I get hankering to hit the road to Reno ever again, I'll be sure to visit!

    Tacos

    We were in the area touring Lava Beds and staying at the Winema Lodge. With the restaurant selection being one of two bland American diners, we decided to drive north to Merrill for some Mexican food. Boy it sure hit the spot after a whole day of exploring lava tubes! The atmosphere was casual and the service was good. We got tacos, enchiladas, and Steak a la Mexicana. Everything was tasty and authentic. I'd definitely recommend it!!

    Phenomenal food at reasonable prices -- this has become our new go-to. The champechana is nothing short of magnificent!

    An excellent place in a small town. Good menu and they freely adjusted something for my wife. It was warm on a really cold day.

    What a gem in Klamath Falls - Excellent service, food and ambience!…read more Decided to have dinner at 7:30pm on Sunday night; Girasol is located at the southern end of "restaurant row/main street." Quiet background music lends to the friendly atmosphere, enhancing the Hispanic decor. Crispy warm chips with beans and salsa were brought out immediately. Our server took our drink orders, and had them at the table within 5 minutes. The margaritas we ordered were delicious, and generously sized. Our server answered our menu questions so we could decide on our meal. We decided to try the albóndigas and side salad to start, and split the Fajitas Gigante. Albóndigas comes in 1 size, approximately 12 oz of a tasty tomato based broth and 4 hand-formed meatballs, roughly 1.5 inches in diameter. There were carrots, too, but no other vegetables. I'm used to a heartier version from a different region, so for me, the soup was unexpected. The broth and meatballs had a very nice flavor, though, so still worth a taste! The side salad consisted of chopped iceberg, some tomato, and shredded cheese. It was bigger than I anticipated, so that was a pleasant surprise! The fajitas came out on a sizzling, cast iron platter, looking and smelling amazingly good! I'm sorry I forgot to take a photo. My husband and I split a single order, and ended up bringing half of it back to the hotel. It tasted delicious. Everything was well seasoned, though the carnitas was a little too wet for my liking. (It was more like a pulled pork sandwich consistency, without any smoke bark.) That's just a personal preference, though. What was so great about the platter was that each protein had a distinct flavor! I've had mixed protein platters where everything tastes like it was seasoned with the same bottle of pre-mixed spices, and this is NOT that. The carnitas was subtle, and contrasted with the steak, which differed from the chicken. The shrimp was different from all of it, with more of a citrus and garlic profile. We were too full to order dessert, so we'll have to return on our next road trip!

    What a festive Mexican restaurant in the heart of Klamath Falls! Their decor is adorable, but…read moreespecially dressed up for the impending spooky season. Friendly service from everyone. Extensive menu with lots of options to satisfy anyone's cravings. Yummy chips with salsa and bean dip were served with our beverages. Only real miss of our visit was the fairly terrible iced tea my husband ordered, but they made it right by removing it from our check and replacing it with a tall glass of ice water. I enjoyed a Modelo Especial chelada style in a chilled glass. ¡Perfecto! He ordered creamy enchiladas and I opted for a mixed ceviche tostada and chicken flautas. Everything was delicious and plentiful enough that we took leftovers to go and enjoyed them for dinner once we got home. Will gladly return whenever I find myself back in K Falls!

    I've learned to not trust Yelp for business info, but then again, sometimes a business's website is…read morewrong too. We wanted to make reservations for dinner on a Thursday but no one answered the phone. We decided to head over to the restaurant a few minutes before we planned to dine with friends only to discover they weren't open and a hand lettered writing on the door said they were closed Thursdays and Sundays. We did return the next evening, now knowing that they would be open on Friday. The restaurant shares an entryway with a popular bar. It was amusing watching people enter the main door and then turn one way or the other to enter a business, only to realize they want the other door. I saw a few families with little kids start towards the bar and then turn to the restaurant. Groups in motorcycle jackets did the reverse. A signboard at the entrance to the restaurant invites customers to choose a table and then help themselves to chips and salsa. My husband and I split an entrée and it was more then enough for the both of us. Portion sizes are generous. The food was very good. Much better than Casa Ramos or Puerto Vallarta. If you want Mexican food in Mount Shasta, stay away from those chains and go to La Perla for a much better meal at reasonable prices to boot. We enjoyed the background music, with songs from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, The Proclaimers.

    Walking in the place was quiet and clean. We immediately got chips and salsa, and I ordered guac on…read morethe side. The guac was okay it just tasted like avocado so we put a little bit of salt and lime. The carne asada tacos were cooked perfect! Our server was really nice and sweet. Had a great time!
