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.

However I went with a friend who ordered a santo chile (or something) and the plate looked delicious. Their queso fundido was the best part of my experience combined with the Tamarindo agua Fresca. Apologies did not take a picture. I will update as I want to go again before I leave town.

Jacumba, Ca. Long Shadow is really quite the amazing place…read moreto visit not only because their food is superb, but also the casual outdoor desert ambiance. The food alone is five star worthy and it's a special treat to be able to be there and enjoy the experience. Ok, here is a summary of the dishes we tried: Chicken Quesadilla- this item is probably the most bang for your buck. It will fill you up for only $22. Not even on the same gourmet level as the other menu choices, nevertheless it is good. Fries- excellent non greasy and nicely cooked, with notes of potatoes. Fruit Bowl- very nice and refreshing fresh fruit chunks with surprise additions of jacima and cucumber that actually work! Avocado Toast-great bread, lots of nicely sliced perfectly ripe avocado, a good breakfast portion. Ricotta Toast- Great presentation as well as being a great breakfast. The Cara Cara Oranges on top really make this dish. Elote: No doubt, the best elote I've had. Exceeds the Mexican versions by leaps and bounds. Quesadilla Flor de Calabaza-Simply delicious and beautiful. The squash blossoms are very subtle but the other ingredients make for an exceptional dish. Watermelon Gazpacho- Really a burst of many flavors, this complex cold soup will not disappoint. An amazing way to start a meal. Pozole- I loved this soup. The hominy remains firm, and there is lots of pork shoulder in there. Imperial Caesar-This is a good variation of a true Caesar because the anchovy taste is carried forward by the bread crumbs. Great dressing, everything was fresh. French Toast- A fabulous creation that surprisingly was not too sweet. Beautiful presentation, marvelous flavors. Spring Vegetable Potato Hash- A hearty breakfast that features perfectly cooked buttered potato's, squash, peppers and onions with a side of avocado. Bacon- The bacon here is really good, it is thick and meaty with spot on taste and aroma. Steak and Eggs- You get a rather decent portion of their amazing steak. Eggs cooked perfect of course. Carnitas Tacos- A nice pool side snack, not very large but tasty. Guacamole- Another good pool side snack, their version is creative and very tasty. Chips were not greasy, thank you, Market Fish- Red Snapper was really well presented and quite delicious. A bit small for $55. Nicely spiced! Jacumba Ribeye- one of the best steaks I've had. Unexpected tenderness from a rib eye, on par with a loin steak. Flavor was amazing and very "Steak". Well trimmed, no fat or gristle. Poblano Burger- I would come back here just for this burger, it's right up there with the best of the premium burgers. Forget the trendy smash burger BS, this burger is an inch thick and cooked all the way through at a perfect medium, as I requested. The patty is juicy and very flavorful yet the bun hold up well to the end. The bun is also not overly fluffy, you get the taste of meat, not bread. I could not decide fries or salad so the server brought out both. Harissa Carrots- Wow, these are wonderful. I never thought I'd rave on about carrots but here we are. Served on a bed of delicious humus this dish is just outstanding. Fideo de Cameron-very nice sized shrimp that are excellent, accompanied by a great sauced pasta. Tabouleh- This serving brings forth new flavors to a typically boring side. Churraco Taco- Vanilla bean ice cream in a chocolate waffle taco. Creative and delicious. Profiterol- A delicious an beautiful version of a cream puff but so much more. Affogato- very good, but I would not order it unless the server is Richard. He knows how to use the espresso machine, apparently the others do not. Unless it is Richard DO NOT ORDER A LATTE! It will be weak and tasteless. The juices are fresh and carefully crafted, The zero proof drinks are all pretty awesome concoctions by the talented bar tender. Be sure to ask for a fly fan, we used two, you may need three. The flies are not a problem when the misters are on.

The restaurant is located in courtyard of the hotel. The dining is mostly outdoor in a wonderful outdoor courtyard and then there's some dining inside. They have large tables for groups and they have really nice decor and a rustic and farmhouse design element. This seems to be a "farm to table" restaurant. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and sourced locally. Our server was very nice. She was able to give us very good suggestions and answer any questions that we had about the menu. We ordered: Blue Corn Sopes, Mole Chicken, Wedge Salad with Steak added, Zataar Bowl with Chicken added, and 2 Poblano Burgers. They also have mocktails and I opted to have one, the "Afterglow". It's an outdoor patio so just be prepared because there are a lot of trees in the courtyard where you dining. There were several times when we saw cute little green bugs land on our hair or on our skin or on our clothing or on the table. Because we're in a really nice nature promoting environment, it added to our experience and was kind of nice. Also, there are many tables and there is the potential for several groups of people to also be dining around you. It makes the dining experience a lot more enjoyable because everybody's really having a good time talking and enjoying themselves and their groups. My poblano burger was delicious. I'm glad that I made that choice. I heard that: the wedge salad was also good, zataar bowl with chicken was ok, Blue Corn Sopes were ok, and the Mole Chicken was ok. I actually appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and that the food wasn't overpowering and super flavorful, but just right. At the end of the meal, for dessert, I ordered the cream puff with ice cream. Another person in our group ordered a vanilla latte. The cream puff was just ok. It had more of a biscuit texture instead of a fluffy and light cream puff texture. The homemade ice cream was ok. It was vanilla bean and it just was ok. We really enjoyed our dining experience here. Our server was outstanding and she was able to check on us very frequently just in case we missed anything. In this small town and probably all towns in the vicinity, this is definitely THE 5-star dining experience. I appreciated it and was happy to experience it.
