    3 years later we returned to go hiking up at Strawberry Lake, and we are still impressed by the food here. This trip we had the Arroz Con Pollo and the Chicken Fajitas. Both were well prepared, but seriously, a TON of food. We almost could have shared because we forgot they have generous proportions here. One guy was working by himself today, and it looked like we just missed a rush, but we were not in a hurry and knew the wait for him to finish a take out order would be well worth it. We were very appreciative of our meal after hiking all morning and hope to be back here next year!

    Average food not spicy and no habaneros. Very expensive for the quality. They are friendly we just had to stop going because of cost.
