Yesterday at lunch time we visited the Blue Cactus. We had heard wonderful things and wanted to…read morefind out for ourselves. The town square was popping on a Saturday morning so parking was tough, but did not deter us! The restaurant at first glance is small but it is much bigger on the inside with a pretty outside section. My girlfriend got a Spicy Cilantro Margarita to drink. Which was not her favorite drink she has had. Mentioned it was strong alcohol taste so if that's for you then it's great but for her it wasn't her vibe. As for food we got Queso of course which paired with the complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was very flavorful with a solid spice level. For our main we went with the Taco Tray. 10 tacos, 2 of whichever 5 you choose and 3 sides. We chose Carne Azada, Birria, Corner (Chorizo & Potato), BBQ Pork and Ensenada (Fried Chicken) tacos along with the side choices of Re-fried beans, Mexican Rice and Spicy Veggies with Quinoa. The tacos also come with cilantro, onion and tomatillo salsa. All 3 sides were nice to pair with all tacos. It was nice to mix and match all the various toppings on the tacos to find the best flavor. Taco Rankings for us were as follows. 1 Birria (Great Flavor overall) 2 Ensenada (Surprise of the meal but a great one) 3 Barbacoa (So much flavor) (Update) 4 Azada (Hard to mess up, great baseline) 5 Al Pastor (Tasty, little lacking on pineapple flavor) (Update) 6 La Paz (Fried Fish) ( My girlfriend loved these, I rank them lower due to texture issues, try them for yourself!!!) (Update) 7 Corner (Dry and Bland alone but with sides and toppings was tasty) 8 BBQ Pork (Pineapple in the meat did not work with anything other than the meat itself.) Overall the service was good despite being very busy it seemed. We will be back to try more tacos and other items. The only items we do not plan to get again are the margarita and the BBQ pork tacos. We will most likely pass on the Corner tacos as well in favor of trying another taco. (Update: Service was faster and better the second time, speed was definitely a product of being busy) Suggestion is Birria and Ensenada tacos are must gets!! (Update: I would add Barbacoa to this suggestion) Update!! We went again the next weekend and got another Tray and the Jalepeños Norteños. We tried the Fried Fish, Barbacoa and Al Pastor tacos. See the above list where the rankings are placed. We also tried the White rice this time around and it didn't disappoint. The Norteños were a miss. Sadly the bacon was not crispy at all and the overwhelming flavor of cigarette was all I could taste. I DO NOT think the cooks are smoking in the back. It is just what I tasted on this item. We will not get them again.

I was excited to try this place after seeing the cocktail menu online. The ambiance did not meet…read moreexpectations. The interior was a bit run down - it looks more like a dive bar than a high-end cocktail lounge. In and of itself, that would not have been a huge deal. But the service was also very slow. We waited about 15 minutes to place a cocktail order. They were out of the ingredients for my first choice and had to substitute something different in my second choice cocktail. Then, we waited an additional 15 minutes for our drinks. The bar was not particularly crowded, either. Lastly, an additional dollar was added to my tip amount. :( I would not return.

It's tucked away from…read morethe main drag and sits overlooking the golf course (the big, main room and connected outdoor patio both have a great view!) - but this area at least is open to the public. I was worried when we couldn't make any reservations, but we got right in - nobody was waiting, they weren't busy, but they did seem to be scrambling to find a server for us, which I thought was a little odd. After a weird start, the rest of the visit was fantastic - service was great, food was excellent, and we had a lovely time on a date night. Restrooms are on the first floor (an older review says the women's is downstairs in a creepy hallway, but this must have been renovated) and are single-occupancy and unisex, which is an interesting experience depending on who has visited before you -- this was probably the low point of the experience, that restroom could use some upkeep. Not just an unpleasant previous visitor, but structurally. For such a nice place, that part was sketchy. Definitely will be coming back overall.

Always always always a wonderful dining experience!…read more We went here after a fun movie at the historic theater in town (a must) and were seated pretty quickly despite the rush of people. It is a smaller space but perfect for a dinner casual atmosphere. They have various drink options but our favorite is actually their locally made root beer - and it is free refills! They have a brick oven so their pizzas are always just the right amount of crunchy and crispy but with dough that melts in your mouth. They also now have house made gluten free which is slightly chewy but has great flavor. Much appreciated and also delicious. I tried the Greek pizza with feta, olives and spinach which was salty and briny and amazing. My husband had a calzone which melted in his mouth he said (thus no pictures this time). A fun experience and the service is always friendly and quick. We love going to Richard's and will continue to enjoy their house made perfections!

The ambience is nice, the dining chairs are comfortably padded, and the lighting is dim. Our waitress was Taylor and she took good care of our group of 8 ladies. The menu is nice and changes frequently. I opted for the 6 oz petite filet, served with whipped potato and green beans, which were more of a garnish than side dishes. I ordered my steak prepared medium and it was slightly over cooked but still very tender and delicious. The bread was a little dry and unexciting. I shared the Caesar salad, which was chopped and had a nice dressing. Downstairs is a store with wines for sale, fresh pastries and gelato type ice cream. Parking lot north of the building. Takeaway: I believe the restaurant could lower the prices and still maintain an upscale rating.
