The owner is a jerk and very rude..definately NOT authentic mexican food..just a couple of gringos who think their sh$t dont stink..the food was terrible and the service was even worse..very dissapointed in people like them

Cafe side has the best food. All types of homemade dishes. Jalapeño dressing on the salad is the bomb. Drinks are good. Deco is consistent with style. The other side is the cantina. Great little bar. Becoming quite the spot for live music. Open mic nite is starting to rock.

We were staying in Geahart and the home we were renting from had suggested this Restaurant. We went there for lunch and was not disappointed. Julie (the Owner) greeted us with a warm hello.

This little treasure is a tribute to the original owner's integrity, now owner by a former waitress who has kept the spirit going and opened an annex with live music at times. Especially laudable is the amount of fresh seafood dishes sadly lacking in most Mexican restaurants; -and if you want SPICY they will really make it so!
