Food Scene
We very much enjoyed the outdoor patio in this low key restaurant. Of the dishes we tried, the aguachiles verde is superb, with a playful peppery lime flavor that perfectly complements the shrimp/avocado/onion ensemble it is served with. Also enjoyed the enchiladas mole. We recommend the Margarita natural, they were a little dangerous as they were so easy to drink.

This restaurant is incredible for a small mountain town. It has southwest cuisine made from fresh ingredients and paired with unique cocktails; the pomegranate margherita is a personal favorite. The Ruby Red Trout is luscious with its sautéed spinach.

If you like a bit of zest, the green curry and hot and sour soup are excellent. The Hot Chili Wonton appetizer and the Taiwanese beef noodle soup also get repeated positive reviews.
