The sides that come w/your entree.Rice is good, beans are spicy and the guacamole is good.
Mr. B. K.

Okay, they're redeemed themselves and this humble joint has become a favorite. It's not the most authentic but it's tasty, well made and the service is good. Do NOT order the chiles rellenos, we've tried 3x but they're less than one star. They have a full bar and decent table service, Erica is always pleasant and quick. See the pics, hit the buttons if my review has been helpful.

Street tacos
Jeremy C.

Ambiance is your typical Mexican restaurant, but as we drove by a large Mexican work crew was coming for lunch, which always intrigues me, so in went! Quickly greeted and seated and given an overwhelming large menu that was extremely overpriced. The least expensive thing for lunch was 12 dollars with nothing that I would consider quick and easy. I was extremely disappointed with the menu because at the end I honestly didn't find a single thing that I would order. Luckily on the way in we say a sign that said street tacos and listed all available which this is what we were hungry for. Both the wife and I ordered asada, carnitas, al pastor tacos and they were delicious and nice sized! Very quality street tacos with two nice salsas a green and red in squeeze bottles which I think are nice. Service we are going to give them a pass since they got slammed with 25-30 people all at once. I think the menu needs some attention and I think you would be best to play on the strengths of real Mexican fare and move away the the Americanized menu.

1932 Reserve is by far the best restaurant on the lake. The cocktails are delicious and the food is…read moreamazing. The brussel sprouts were out of this world (just the right amount of crunchy, sweet, and savory). The pork loin with smashed bacon potatoes was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The carrot cake we had for dessert was the best carrot cake I've ever had. One thing that really surprised me was the portions. Usually at an upscale casual restaurant like this, the portions tend to be on the smaller side. Not here. You had to roll us out! Richard, our waiter, was amazing, and the rest of the staff was so nice and attentive. I've been saying for years that the food scene around the lake is a little disappointing. You can get pretty burnt out on all the restaurants serving similar foods that start to taste the same. 1932 Reserve is such a refreshing change. It's a great place for a special occasion, a date night, or just when you want a really delicious meal at a nice restaurant and you're tired of the typical restaurants around the lake. The one negative would be the parking, but it seems like they have a golf cart running people back and forth, which definitely helps. The Reserve has absolutely proven that they deserve a place at the lake, and I really hope they're successful for many years to come. The food and experience was truly great. It's the kind of restaurant you might expect to find in a big city, and I'm so glad it's here.

Beautiful spot, but $500 fine-dining prices with diner-level execution…read more Where to start. We've been coming here by boat for years. Experiences have always had up-and-down moments, but this time was disappointing because I really wanted it to be great. It just wasn't. The Good: The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and the waterfront ambiance is spot on. It's clearly the place to be at the lake--so good job on the venue. The Service & Atmosphere: Service was adequate, but far from fine dining. If you're charging premium prices, the service model needs to match. Having random runners drop food at the table without knowing who ordered what is diner or casual Mexican restaurant service, not an elegant dining experience. The new manager stopped by twice--a nice touch, until we actually provided constructive feedback. Instead of offering a remedy, he offered excuses about being new and didn't handle criticism well. The Food: Apps (Deviled Eggs & Tuna): Both looked like they'd been plated earlier in the day--they had an unappetizing "sheen" to them that made them look leftover rather than fresh. The flavor on the eggs was completely muted, and the tuna was equally lusterless. Salads: We split the Caesar, and our friends had the wedge. They were served without any offer of fresh pepper. When we flagged down a staff member, they brought out cheap grocery-store salt and pepper grinders. Later, we were told the new chef prefers not to offer pepper on the table. With all due respect to the chef: that's the guest's choice, not yours. (Side note: the wedge was tasty, but oddly wasn't actually cut into a wedge). Mains: The ladies had the Sea Bass--the dish that originally put this place on the map. It was okay, but not as good as it used to be; the new Asian flair and bowl presentation take away from what used to make it the star of the show. The pork chop was good and thoroughly enjoyed. My lasagna had a great portion size and good base flavor, but it was dry as jerky with practically zero sauce. The Verdict: The restaurant will continue to thrive simply because of its location and the lack of competing fine-dining options on the water. But when you're dropping $500 on dinner, you expect accountability and an outstanding meal. We won't be back anytime soon.

Carbonara this good at a lakeside restaurant in Sunrise Beach? You've got to be kidding me!…read more A salad that is fresh and crispy for starters. I was impressed and still am two days later! The place had some locals and one had his dog (who looked bored) sitting at the bar. How great is that?! The decor is truly "lake like", except for the fact that the waitress (Marcie) actually waited on you and came back to check on us. She didn't even call me "Honey". I was seriously impressed and I remain so grateful that they were still serving food late into the evening.

It's a lot of food especially after a few wings. Three corn tortilla tacos stuffed with I believe it was shredded beef and some type of Mexican cheese. Served with a really good au jus type sauce and another cold sauce, maybe mango salsa? It's well worth the price and you probably have a full taco left over for lunch the next day.its covered open-air seating with several TVs above the bar and some games to play in the coveted patio open space. They have a stage so I'm sure there is music in the evening but we usually go for lunch or early dinner. Great view out to the water and plenty of parking slips for boats. It's right behind Pointe Oasis gas dock.
