  My bf and I came here for lunch because we had seen signs out that they had a $7 lunch special.  We got there right at opening and the staff were friendly and sat us right away.  We got our menu's and the lunch specials all said $8.75.  No big deal but not as advertised on the signs outside.  We ordered our food and got it pretty quickly.  My bf ordered shredded beef and it came out chicken.  The owner of the restaurant was there and quickly handled the mistake for us.  The food was good but nothing write home about.  The Cadillac margarita's we ordered were huge!  Overall just an ok restaurant with nice wait staff.

  We were on vacation visiting Lake Tahoe and staying in the Minden area. We decided to give this restaurant a try after noticing it on the drive to Carson City.
  The service was great and the waitress very attentive. The drinks were served quickly after ordering and some chips & salsa were offered, which were hot and fresh. Food was also served quickly. I had the chile colorado and my fiancee had the chile relleno. Both of us enjoyed our food. As far as the atmosphere, it was pretty standard but everything was clean, both inside at at our table. If we are ever back this way we will definitely stop by again.

  6/18/2018:  The Restaurant Owners hail from Guadalajara, Mexico:  If, you're aware of the cuisine made in this region, the food tends to be on the mild side.  I ordered food to go . . . I ordered the octopus #61-the sauce was mucho caliente but, I didn't find octopus in the messed up dinner due to the styrofoam container melted, cracked, and co-mingled with the small carne asada burrito and grilled chicken enchilada in the other cracked, styrofoam container!  Therefore, minus two stars for no octopus found in #61 meal which costs $14.99 plus, tax.
  
  Anyway~It just so happens, after I returned where I have been staying, I brought my washed, Costco salad containers salvaging the messy, two dinners floating at the bottom of the plastic bag:  The two cracked styrofoam containers began oozing out the remaining meals into the bottom of the plastic bag while the two styrofoam containers were almost empty sitting on top of the messed up meals inside the plastic bag!!!!
  
  GRRRRR . . . Therefore, minus two stars for the styrofoam containers cracking leaving the two horrible meals floating at the bottom of the plastic bag.
  
  ****I called the Restaurant and I spoke to Omar who took my to go order:  Omar stated he's going to talk to his boss about rectifying my messed up meals; he told me to call tomorrow, Tuesday.  If the boss rectifies my messed up meals, I'll remove my negative review for the Restaurant!
  
  Disculpe, señor y Omar:
  
  ¡Quiero un reembolso!
  
  Estoy muy enojado, mis dos comidas costaron $29.00 más dos comidas en mal estado flotando en el fondo de la bolsa de plástico. ¡¡No estoy contento y no es bueno para el restaurante que compra contenedores baratos de espuma de poliestireno !!

  Excellent service.  My waitress, Bianca, was prompt, courteous and attentive.  I ordered shrimp fajitas and was not disappointed.  For the price it was definitely worth it.
