Very busy this afternoon, food came out quick and was great and tasty. Service was good per usual, our server Andrea was very polite and went above and beyond for us. Will be back again next time we are in the area. Recommend the Tostada Salad and enchiladas are very good too.

A group of us were here for breakfast today. Extremely friendly service, reasonable prices and the food is 10 out of 10 delicious. I eat a lot of Mexican food and the portions were great, the quality was there and it was just an awesome experience. There were plenty of locals inside, telling us this is a place that people really know and love. If you like really good Mexican food, you won't get disappointed here.

Have been coming here a lot on the way down from my cabin or from a hike and we would always get our food here and it has always been a wonderful place to eat. I am a black hole in my family and I never leave hungry. It's nice and just feels like I'm in a loved place and we got our food really fast. I'll always come here when ever I'm in town.

Great Mexican food place in the hills. Food is always on point and the service is exceptional. My favor is the chili verde all meat burrito but the fajita combo is amazing too. It's worth the drive from fresno and also a great place to stop going to Shaver. They also have a great breakfast burrito call the BD.

Best mexican food on prather lol. But seriously, you have to try the shredded beef tacos, shredded beef enchiladas, little dinner tostadada and chile rellenos. We always stop here while in the area. The food is fast,fresh and always tastes amazing. The staff is super pleasant and prices are great too for this high quality mexican food.

OH. MY. GOODNESS. Do yourself a favor and order the Chimichanga with shredded beef and sit back while your eyes roll!!!! This was the most beautiful and delicious thing I've ever eaten at a Mexican restaurant. Everything about it was perfect. Oh, everyone else enjoyed their food too.

Best Mexican Restaurant in the middle of no where (Prather). It’s only a few miles from Shaver Lake!

Top rate sevice, very friendly and service with a smile.The ribeye steak dinner plate. The steak was very tender and seasoned just right with the grilled onion on top. It was served with the choice of corn or flour tortilla. The refried beans were good. The rice was good as well. Then it came even with french fries and a small tostada at the start of the meal. This was plenty of food. Not to mention the free chips and salsa.

While staying at shaver lake, we decided to go grab a bite to eat in the little town of Prather which is about 17 mi from the lake. As a Mexican food lover, I was excited to see a local restaurant in the area. Upon walking in, we were seated immediately and greeted by a very sweet young man who immediately gave us menus, chips and salsa and brought our drinks over pronto. Sadly the food was not fantastic. I ordered cheese enchiladas with beans and rice and my husband ordered a beef fajita burrito. The beef fajita burrito was decent with a rich flavor but very oversized pieces for a burrito making it a little difficult to eat. My cheese enchiladas arrived swimming and sauce and the beans and rice. Although fresh and homemade, we're all lacking flavor and consistency. The rice was very dry and the beans were very runny and lacked a smooth creamy texture. Everything from the chips to the salsa to the enchilada sauce & beans we're sadly lacking salt. On a side note, although I enjoy a great pico de gallo, which is what they served with our chips and salsa, it is hard to eat as a condiment on the rest of your food, such as an addition to the fajita burrito. When the salsa is chunky it falls off of everything and does not blend well. I prefer a smooth salsa to add to rice and on top of meats or burritos etc. And the salsa should be rich with flavor. This salsa needed spice a jalapeno to add a little heat, more cumin and salt. Lots more salt. I also enjoy cilantro but I know a lot of restaurants avoid it because there are people who have an aversion to it. So I understand the lack of cilantro. But know that salsa in any Mexican restaurant is a crucial condiment and should be given full attention to detail and flavor. And this is Petty. I know it, but the lettuce and tomato along with a lemon slice was a bizarre addition to both meals. It just seemed out of place. I know it's garnish but it just didn't go. Perhaps the sprig of cilantro on the side of the plate would dress it up and be a more useful veggie on the side for those who enjoy it or a unique corn cake. Just a thought. I hope this comes as constructive criticism because the customer service was so phenomenal there that I really hope for the future success of this restaurant. Just spice it up guys. You've got the hardest part down which is phenomenal customer service and a timely kitchen. You're 3/4 of the way there. I look forward to giving it another try next time we're in the area.

The food is really good. Your value is on par with others and as you can see in the picture, the soda cup is huge. The chips are always fresh, but the service is horrible after waiting about 15 minutes. I finally flagged down Lupe and she was very helpful. She came over, took our order brought us our food. They sat somebody else in our area, and those people waited and waited, and when I got Lupe‘s attention, she went over to help them too. We have no idea where our waitress was. They need better help

NOT authentic!!! Tasteless, inedible!!! THAT was no Chile Relleno burrito I’ve ever seen. It was this goop smothered, scoop of beans with runny cheese and bits of green Chile. The guacamole was mixed with another product as filler, not 100% avocado and tasteless!!! The chips, are as bad as they look. All this for $16!!! Folks, come down the mountain more often and see what good food tastes like. Note: employees were observed not practicing physical distancing, not wearing masks or gloves. Eat at your own risk... good luck to you.
