Since we were nearby, my party of four decided to eat at Lupita's for old time sake. After a 30…read moreminute wait and an additional 30 minutes for food, Lupita's is no longer our secret place for Mexican food. You still get complimentary chips and salsa, but thereafter, it's $9 for each order.

Ceviche Combinado Small Street Taco Blando de Pescado Frozen Strawberry Margarita We gobbled up the food in no time. As we were leaving, there were still several parties waiting to be seated.

Our waiter barely spoke English so we had a very hard time communicating what we wanted to order. When our food came, I had ordered enchiladas, I had to look far and wide to find my enchiladas on my plate since it was swimming in Mole sauce. If things hadn't gone badly enough, we paid with a credit card and we're charged an extra three dollars! Needless to say, we will never go back to Lupitas again.

Was exploring the Northstar resort and came across this restaurant because of their happy hour…read moresign. It was $5 margaritas so we had to try them. We ordered the nachos as well. In my opinion, the nachos were still a little pricy for it being a happy hour special but I guess it's considered a good price for its location on a ski resort. We tried both the regular and strawberry margaritas. The regular was alright but the strawberry was way too sweet. Honestly, both tasted like the margarita mix from Costco. Though $5 is a great price for a margarita, the quality was not the best. We also ordered their horchata but the flavor was lacking as well. It tasted more like milk with sugar. That was also $5 cause of happy hour. Again, it's still kinda pricy for it being a happy hour special but can't complain cause it's a resort. The nachos were okay too. It could've had more protein and evenly distributed sauces but it held us up until dinner. Service was okay. There wasn't much to really note on. We just ordered and that was it. The restaurant is a bit small. I think we're were only maybe 7 small tables in the back so once it got a little busy we felt like we had to leave fast to give others a seat to eat as well.

In our party, several had tacos that were good. The tostada salads were also a hit. The only real miss was the chile relleno which my friend referred to as corn dog like. I enjoyed both the hot and medium salsas. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. $5 beers during happy hour were also welcome. Los Arcos has one of the worst locations in the Northstar village, being one level below the summer activity that focuses around the roller skating rink and music. There's not much going on at that lower level during the summer so it offered a quiet meal option.

We've been wanting to try this place out for months and we're glad we finally did! The service was…read moregreat, the food was amazing, and the live music and lively atmosphere lent to the amazing experience we had. This place is busy for a reason and the wait is worth it. We came in as Walk-ins and despite the fact that there were 17 parties on the reservation list before us, we still were able to be seated and within 25 minutes. Our server Caroline was quick to get our orders in and as first time visitors, she made excellent suggestions to make our night unforgettable. To start, we had two drinks off the menu, the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot and the Spicy Cucumber Mar-tini. Both were excellent, and the marg-tini had an especially good japalepeno kick, which is what I was looking for. We're normally old fashion kind of drinkers but the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot had excellent flavor and was well balanced, with what tasted like a Tajin mango. The real star of the show was the food though. The server wasn't joking when she said the nachos are best shared with two people, and I even opted for the guacamole. The carnitas were buttery tender and the cheese sauce tasted gourmet and incredibly flavorful. I definitely recommend these! They were probably some of the best nachos I've had, and this is coming from someone that's lived in Santa Barbara for 5 years! Next up was the burrito bowl, and the first thing that comes to mind is: generous! We're used to spending $25 an entree in the city and still leaving the restaurant hungry, but not here. The chips were fresh and crispy and truly taste hand made. The birria beef was amazing and tender and flavorful, and the pickled onions and vinegar sauce was the chefs kiss on an altogether amazing dish. We're so glad to have finally made it over here! Bottom line, this restaurant is worth checking out if you're in the area. It's packed with locals every night, but don't let the long wait times dissuade you, they under-promise and over deliver. These are the best drinks and food with Mexican flare this side of the Sierras, and will become a staple during our visits to the area. If you appreciate good food, drinks, and an amazing mountain atmosphere, you owe it to yourself to put Shadyside Lounge on your short list of places to try, I know I did and the only regret I have is not coming here sooner!

Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully put together. We ordered two encharitos, one with the beef birria and one with the chicken. Both were fantastic, but if you're deciding between the two, get the beef birria. The enchilada sauce is absolutely to die for, and the rich, tender beef put it over the top. The carnitas burrito was incredibleeeee. It was packed with the perfect ratio of carnitas, beans, rice, and all the fixings, so every bite had a little bit of everything. The carnitas were cooked perfectly. It was super tender with great flavor and seasoning. I'm already craving it again. We also started with the guacamole, which was fresh, chunky, and generously portioned. For drinks, we had the House Margarita, the Scratch Cadillac, and the Smoking Gun. The margaritas were refreshing and well-balanced, but a little light on the tequila. The Smoking Gun, on the other hand, had a great spirit-to-flavor ratio. It's definitely smoky (as the name suggests), so if you're a mezcal fan, you'll probably love it (like me!). Service was great. Our waitress was young, incredibly sweet, attentive, and happy to accommodate a few special requests. Just be prepared to wait. It's a small restaurant that's clearly popular, and for good reason. The atmosphere is cute and lively, though it does get pretty loud. That didn't bother me at all, but it's worth mentioning if you're looking for a quieter dinner.
