found this after reading some trip advisors reviews...loved this place! Easy to find on Main Street..cold,cold beer and a delightful 'loose meat' sandwich with barbicoa plus avocado,cheese cilantro..on some great bread. Wish that I lived closer! Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Dear Chris, thank you for stopping in and we are so glad that you liked the Bocadillo. We were inspired by a trip to Logrono, Spain, to make that dish. Do come back! Cheers - Tasha More

Not normally a fan of Mexican food because it's usually greay or poorly seasoned, but this place serves outstanding Cal-Mex in an early 1800's building. Shanelle works the front where you order at the counter and Jason makes the perfectly seasoned and well-portioned meals. The Beef burrito was the size of two softballs and was crisp, tasty, with beef, black... More

The selections of food are very good and it is a small restaurant but you can eat downstairs too. On Friday nights they will have live music. How do you order your food? Well they have a menu on the ceiling that shows 3 rows. The first row is how you want to eat your meat (burrito, soft tacos, bowl,... More

My friend said lets try this place out after a day of wine tasting. I wasn't really sure I would like it, but we did. The food was really delicious. Very happy we tried it, and will go back in the future. The restaurant was clean, the people working there were nice and the food was tasty!!

Sidewinders is Southwestern or California/Mexican restaurant. My bride had eaten here before and liked it, but it was my first time. The place was clean, although I found the decor to be a bit plain. But, the original rock walls are exposed and it was interesting(to me anyway) to see the chisel marks left on the large stones by the... More

Thank you for your detailed comments and I am so glad that you liked the flavors. I appreciate your feedback regarding the style and presentation regarding the pork. As we have the meats on a 24 hour slow cook, the shredding is something that we allow to occur naturally and sometimes there may be a few more chunks than expected.... More

Had a nice lunch here with the family. Lots of southwestern-themed meal options in casual setting. We liked the options for salsas.

Stumbled upon this restaurant thanks to tripadvisor recommendations. Driving from Yosemite to South Tahoe and an excellent lunch stop and place to stretch our legs a little on the quaint main street.

For work I come up to the Sierra Foothills a couple of times a year and I always make it a point to come here for lunch! Love - love - love the Tostada with Chicken and Black Beans and the salsas are wonderful. Now I hear they are opening a sushi restaurant in Murphys........more good reasons to come visit!

During the off season, there are very few restaurants open, let alone on Sunday. Very nice decor although they could use to put in at least 2 more tables. You walk in, stand in line to order, find a seat & the waitress brings the food to you. There isn't a waitress per se that will wait on your table... More

Dear Brad, we always strive to have fresh and delicious food and apologize that your wife was unhappy with her meal. We do prepare each and every ingredient fresh every single day and will take note that the avocados were not as ripe as you hoped. We do keep them at an extra low temperature to ensure that they stay... More
