The views are great and the drive was not bad. If you do come here come in the am as the drive in the evening is not good. The food is not terrible but not great and it is a bit overpriced for what you get. But again you are paying for the experience. If you temper your expectations you won’t be disappointed. The menudo is all tripe and like $18 for a bowl and the chorizo and eggs was okay. This place is for the atmosphere. The views are spectacular and the service was fine, not great and not terrible just okay.
As someone who travels the world often, I can confidently say this is one of the most breathtaking restaurant views I’ve ever seen. Overlooking endless green mountains, the scenery is simply unforgettable. I came during lunch and ordered the Fajita Trio (steak, shrimp, and chicken) — served sizzling hot with rice and sides. It was honestly one of the best grilled platters I’ve had. The flavors, spices, and presentation were all on point. The staff was incredibly friendly and quick. I even asked for takeout boxes, and they were more than helpful. Considering the view, the quality of the food, and the service — the price is very fair. Highly recommended — I left truly satisfied.
You are paying for the view, not the food. I added a picture of the burrito my son got with his meal. The kids meals go up to teen age and yet they are something my toddler would eat. There is no way this tiny burrito would fill up my 9 year old boy. When we asked for a bigger burrito they brought a giant one that even I couldn’t finish. The food was disappointing. The sauce was either bland or tasted off and salty. The cheese enchiladas had more cheese on the outside than the inside. Even the drinks were misleading, the cup looked huge but when transferred to a smaller cup didn’t even fill it half way. Beans and rice were bland. The chips and salsa were the best part of the meal and the view almost isn’t worth the food especially at what they charge for it. Oh speaking of the charge. They added to our receipt after we gave the card.. they had wrote in an added tip. We didn’t have an issue with a set tip amount but didn’t understand why they scribbled out the total and changed the amount after charging our card instead of having it on the bill they gave us. It made us very uncomfortable. Make a sign that people can read, or tell them verbally before you charge their card a completely different amount than the bill. Service wasn’t great either. Waiter kept coming back to ask us about our orders.
The best part for this location is definitely the view. The food was a little plain and needed more flavors. My dish came with a pork tamale and was nothing close to an average tamale. You get better street tamales. The rice wish is a Mexican rice was not even Mexican rice, looks Mexican but not authentic. Overall, if I come back, it would be for the view and a drink, maybe to try the shrimp cocktail.
My wife and my friend both had the Cadillac margaritas which they absolutely loved! My chicken burrito was tasty. My wife had two crispy beef tacos, and my friend chili verde. Of course, we sat by the window and had an amazing view for half our meal, and then the fog rolled in blocking it out, which was super cool to watch. All the staff was super courteous and friendly and very attentive.
