We've always passed by this restaurant and finally decided to stop in. They weren't busy very busy…read moreand the waitress was prompt and friendly. She always made sure our coffee was filled and consistently checked on us. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and fries. It looked amazing! Fries were tasty, crispy and hot. The sandwich was fresh as well but honestly... not a ton of flavor. I had to add some hot sauce to it. I'm also not sure why it's labeled as also serving Mexican in the yelp description. The inly item I saw was huevos rancheros. Lastly, it's labeled here as the Mountain View cafe but on the building it has a large sign that says the Log Cabin... so don't let that confuse you! I really like the interior and the wood like, cozy small town feel! I grew up in a town like Portola and it definitely took me back. I might come back to try another dish as I do like supporting small businesses!

First visit to this establishment while camping. The server was friendly and attentive. The…read morerestaurant had an old timey feel, which was want we were actually looking for. I ordered the ham, egg and cheese croissant. It was good, but could have used flavor/seasoning. It hit the spot though for a quick bite in the morning. I'd like to try a lunch menu item next time to get a more rounded feel for the restaurant and add another review.

There was one person cooking all the food and the other taking the orders and making the coffee. The first day I ordered a BEC sando, French toast and pirates toast. The breakfast sando was really good especially with the fried jalapenos. But the French toast was ok. My husband liked his salmon toast but wished the bread was toasted. On the second day, came back and ordered the Sleepy Pig. On this day they ran out of the pulled pork but gave ham instead. Overall, solid brunch place. Don't forget to order their sugar donuts, it was nice and fluffy and delish!

She asked for eggs and since she didn't see them and they told her no at 10:50 (while I'm eating eggs in front of her) website says 10:45-11:00am they stop breakfast on Sunday. Sad they couldn't hook up a customer already seated eating breakfast. We did order the avocado toast for a vegetarian and it came w bacon. That was my fault and they did fix it. I think they were upset about that. Kinda why I cook at home these days when I used to go out daily. Food was good.

Excellent salsa options especially if you are dining in the brick and mortar. Rico's wisely expanded to Quincy with a food trailer in the warm season. The food is just as good but today ordering options outside of the option of Gringo Burrito I found prices unreasonable. $6.99 for one Quesabirria and some dip. $5.99 for a single pork tamale. This is what I wanted and so I paid the $13+ dollars. And they were both delicious but $6.99 is hardly a price for something "a la cart", a cart being where I ordered from. F*** ICE

They even had a number of plant based items. The dinner came out in a timely manner, was fresh, and presented beautifully. The fruit cups they had were a variety of berries which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was equally as tasty and fresh. My daughter ordered the french toast. The syrup was already poured over it which I didn't like because it was too heavy handed but the flavors in the french toast were wonderful! It was almost like a bread pudding french toast. Delicious. The employees were all very friendly and helpful. What a beautiful little hidden gem this place is!

I'll be honest in saying that the service was so so and the food was just so so as well, but what we really truly loved about our experience was the view and the open seating on the beautiful wraparound deck. It's a neat place to grab a few drinks and maybe have an appetizer but other than that I'd recommend just going and chilling and relaxing.
