“We were able to sit by the lake and enjoy a nice meal with fresh breeze. The restaurant was not busy as we started our meal at 1pm. The service was not fast. Each course drinks with salsa and chips, appetizers, main course all came very long apart. So be sure to plan ample time for your meal. The food was very delicious and with the view. It was a great place to spend time with friends.”
— Edward Yango“Beautiful views by the water. Lots of seating. The staff were kind and attentive. It’s not cheap but you pay for the atmosphere and views. The tacos were good though not very seasoned in my view.”
— Zachary Miller“Great location. Wonderful lake views. Nice typical Mexican decorations. Very good service and food. Fish tacos and carnitas were excellent.”
— Michele Pellizzon“The view is the best part! The service was okay although we were there on a busy night waiting an hour to get our food. It is over priced and the flavors are mediocre. I'd choose to go to sushi a few doors down or find a more authentic Mexican restraunt next time.”
