    Menudo Rojo I truly couldn't with the smell of it and also the taste was nasty. The ranch atmosphere was good put the food overall nope

    Menudo tasted and smelled on Pleasant do not recommend it. The ranch atmosphere was good, but not the food

    What a fun experience. Service and food were great. The music was a nice touch. Those mini pancakes with fresh fruit and toppings were a big hit. The Cafe de Ola and Champurrado was also very delicious.

    Homemade corn tortillas

    Wow I only have good things to say about this restaurant. If you want some good home style Mexican food head on over here. The location is beautiful and very homey. They have someone making homemade tortillas right next to you, in their outdoor kitchen. Make sure to arrive early! We were there a little late and missed out on the tamales! Homemade tortillas: 10/10 Brilla: 10/10 the flavors were bold and delicious! Mole Rojo: 10/10 it is a little on the sweet side, if you like your mole that way! Salsa Casera: 10/10 Smokey and spicy

    So delicious. We were camping and packed up on Sunday morning and went to enjoy breakfast before heading home. Absolutely loved the vibe and the food.

    Delicious food and great atmosphere. The corn tortillas were top notch. It felt like I was at nana's house eating a meal made from love.

    Chef Rachel is AMAZING! We hired her for a private party for our company at our house. There were…read moreonly 10 of us so it was small and intimate. Having her there made my life so easy... took all the stress of being in the kitchen away so I could also enjoy the evening. Best decision I ever made! Everyone was impressed with her flavorful food, answering their questions, and I loved that she helped clean up the kitchen for me! It was THE BEST PARTY BECAUSE OF CHEF RACHEL!! We still talk about it all the time and all our employees remember it as one of the best experiences they've ever had. They felt so important to have a private chef cook a meal for them. As a business owner, for the holidays, we wanted our work family to feel valued and enjoy a special occasion. Having Chef Rachel made it exactly that! It was memorable for us all. THANK YOU CHEF RACHEL! For any event you're planning, I'd recommend Chef Rachel because she is reliable, communicates well, is very professional, and also one of the most pleasant persons I've ever been able to meet. If it's a casual party or a nice event, you can count on Rachel to make your party the best!! She truly is wonderful! I'll definitely be calling her again!!

Chef prepared a lovely Buffet style dinner for 20+ ladies for a friend's Bach and was willing to make it all work at an outdoor park venue! She mentioned she hadn't done an event quite like this before but was incredibly helpful and flexible in the preplanning & she came prepared with all the necessary equipment to help keep the food warm. Everything was delicious, and as many of the girls were vegetarian, her menu & cooking style offered several options to explore. We loved her Mediterranean dinner menu - the onion & feta tartlets, Moroccan tagine stuffed peppers and rose saffron Bundt cakes were especially delicious! Thank you to Chef Adina, can't wait to find another reason to work together !

From the first phone call, Chef Ty was a pleasure to speak and work with. We spoke several times before the event and he went above and beyond to satisfy all of our event needs. He was on time, the food was served hot and delicious, and he left our kitchen as clean as he found it. THE FOOD - We had four passed around small bites during cocktail hour. It was all absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend the apple and blue-cheese turnovers! I think about them often. The Lamb lollipop was crazy good. The shrimp appetizer was great as well as the mushroom one. Dinner courses were presented so elegantly and tasted as good as they looked. We began with a fabulous pumpkin soup. It was honestly the best pumpkin soup I've ever had. That was followed by a tasty root vegetable salad. We then had Filet Minon over risotto with a demi glaze sauce over it. Wow! It was truly spectacular. I HIGHLY recommend Chef Ty for any special intimate dining experience you are thinking about. Our party was of twenty three people. He made it a wonderful and memorable evening for us. Thank you, Chef!‍ amazing experience!

    We did take a class here and agree that it would have been helpful if there had been a listing of…read morewhat dishes would be made during the class. It was also bit surprising and disappointing that we had to stay until everything was cleaned up! Not that I am lazy, but there were many helpers (interns?) who also ate what had been prepared and at other cooking classes (Kitchen Witch and Sur La Table--both wonderful experiences!), the helpers complete the clean up. grrrrrrr . . . I was also disappointed that an extra service charge was added for using a credit card. Had I been alerted, I would have paid with a check or cash. Consider this your warning if you decide to take a class here.

Everyone else cooks on a propane hot plate. It is overcrowded and you will spend hours standing. "Interns" will come by and drop your premeasured ingredients. You will spend much of your time in line to wash your utensils and pans in the ONE small sink. My real problem with the class I took is that the recipes we "cooked" were taken from cooking light and other websites. Our handout was nothing but a collection of printouts. I can do this myself and read a recipe for far less than 70.00 and it least it would be food I was interested in making! There are no recipes listed in the class description. The food we made was disappointing and did not fit the title of the class.
