We have been eating lunch or dinner here at least 5 or 6 times a year, over the past 20 plus years. For years it was really good and then a couple years ago it started to slip in quality. BUT, I must say that recently the quality has picked up again and they seem to have a new menu.... More

If nothing else is open the appetizer platter is okay. Everything else is Mmmeh at best and is really greasy. I have tried it a couple times and get a belly ache every time.

Great food. Large menu to suit anyone. Prices are very fair. Love the atmosphere and colorful seats. The homemake avocado spread is made at your table.

The food was overcooked and tasteless. The wait staff seemed like they didn't want to be there. They weren't rude though. I only order an appetizer because a tamale or chile relleno might be frozen inside!

Place seems to offer fun and great food, but the food is just ok. Pizza to tacos: all is ok, but not really good in any way. The place seems so inviting and fun in its setting, so I've been a dozen times looking for when the restaurant is in its groove. It never happens.

Menu is relatively expensive even for the homer spit location. Family and I had to scour the menu for a long time looking for dishes that seemed to be "reasonable value" priced. We finally found Chicken Fajitas hidden away on the menu for $17 (I think) in tiny print. Fajitas were quite good. My son had halibut Fish and Chips.... More

The food was edible. Not great. Waitress extremely difficult to deal with. Would definitely not go back. And we never saw what was the great view everyone was talking about.
