Lovely place on the way to Palenville. It is hard to say why I like the place so much. The inside is somewhat plain and during the early spring or fall a touch on the cool side.

Are you hungry? Like Tex-Mex? I have never been disappointed here, and those of you who know me have seen my merciless and honest assessments of bogus establishments.

So I have to admit the food was "ok" and if you are in the mood for mex, it will satisfy your craving.. But that's about it. We were in on a fairly slow Sunday evening, and the service was so slow that my hubby ordered two drinks at once because they took so long to come! The salsa was... More

This is the best fresh salsa I've had! The food is authentic and flavorful and the service is great. Best Mexican restaurant in the area.
