Amazing place for having Mexican blend American food. The inside is kind of cozy but they have an great deck for sitting and you can enjoy the outside scenario. With the amazing quality of food you will just enjoy your meal there. On top of that the service was great.

All I can say is wow. This place, on the side of a little river, is my go to place for a great cabin/latin sandwich and some sangria. The family that runs this place is soooo wonderful. Don’t miss this gem!

Nice spot. A few miles off the Blue ridge parkway. Friendly helpful people. A mixture of Cuban and Mexican and Spanish and not really tex mex. Lots of interesting places to sit Enchiladas were tasty. I think the sandwich may require the mayo to be interesting. Reasonably priced and quick service.

Great little Tex-Mex place overlooking the river. Food was really good- huge servings and the best salsa I’ve had in a restaurant in a very long time. The owners are wonderful, service is quick. Next time I’m in Sparta, I’m definitely coming here again. Highly recommend!!!!

Delightful, my hubby usually doesn’t enjoy margaritas but the mango margarita is very fruity and refreshing. The camarones al ajillo are spectacular and the jalapeno cheese is creamy and has the perfect kick. Nice owners and great service!!!beautiful river front property and cozy environment.

It’s a super cozy place, and the owners take care of you personally—they’re really nice and make you feel right at home. The food is amazing! I hadn’t tasted that real home-cooked flavor in years. 100% recommended!
