Went there last week. We are local. Two of the employees looked at us enter. They walked the other way, this was at 8 on a beautiful spring night. Ordered a duck quesidilla. I am pretty sure it was chicken. My son's burrito was ordered wet. It came dry we had to send it back. They have done a nice... More

We go here at least twice a month. Took business guests and the lived the place also. The pixie Rita's are awesome. The fajitas are our favorite. The spicy e Ban pot it great and the "hot" salsa is the best.

Ok, but really not worth the price. Nothing special or really even good about the place except the outdoor dinning.

My wife and I ate lunch here and being from So Cal, we know good Mexican food, which this was. I had the Chile Colorado burrito, which was VERY good and although it was listed as "spicy" it wasn't more than medium+. It was some of the best Chile Colorado I have ever had. My wife had two tacos, ground... More

We decided to eat here after reading some reviews. 2 of us ate the fish tacos. We have felt bad ever since. There is no doubt it caused our illness.They tasted "off", and we both have had stomach pain and cramping. I have a strong stomach, and have rarely been ill from food I have eaten. I caution you about... More

Living in New Mexico makes me a bit jaded concerning "Mexican" restaurants; but this one ws very good. Loved the food although a tad pricey. During a warmer evening the open airness of the building would have been good; infortunately it was a bit cilly inside (we weren't seated in the heated patio).

When visiting in Ojai, I asked several people where they like to eat. After hearing a Agave Maria several times, this is where we went for lunch. The waitress was exceptionally pleasant and prompt. My sister really enjoyed her shrimp salad. And a bonus, it was huge! I had a tamale, a la carte, that was actually only so-so. There... More

The server did the math for us, "Why not a pitcher? It's only $36 and you're already getting three $10 margaritas, so if you only want one more, you'll be money ahead!" So we went for it and, of course, downed the whole thing. The nachos and salsa were scrumptious--we'll have to come back for a full meal next time!
