a plate of chips and a bowl of salsa

We loved this little restaurant. The outdoor garden area was so pretty. They serve beer and wine and in the evening a full Mexican dinner menu. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend.

What an adorable wine bar/restaurant. Lots of shady outdoor seating and mister to cool down. Great for bigger groups and dog friendly. Excellent wine selection and decent beer selection. Terrific food and even better service. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Definitely try this place.

Small dining area.

Cute little spot to stop for lunch with fun tapas, wine flights and happy hour too. Great outdoor patio area for bringing the dog.

We made a reservation to sit outside, and that was perfect for us with our small dog. The menu is…read moreamazing, shared choices, and individual plates too, tapas style; we enjoyed that a lot as our first time eating here. Service is top notch; waitress service, kind and helpful, explaining the dishes available to make our selection. We ended up sharing to make the most of tasting as many options as possible. The owner is friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves her restaurant; we shall return and bring our friends next time! We brought our grandchildren too; great little menu for them. I love the ambiance of this place; I almost felt I was in another country because it is so authentic.

This review will be a joy. What a awesome surprise. We went to Nevada City to spend a day shopping…read moreand walking this beautiful town. We ended up eating at The River. It's a quaint little spot with some tables outdoors, which worked for us because we had our dogs in a stroller. I checked the menu before we sat down and they had a few gluten-free dishes which serves my wife well. Little did I know I was gonna find this culinary gem. We started with the Chicharron's. I'm not kidding. These were the best Chicharron's I have ever had in my life. They were so extremely fresh with a chipotle sauce that was perfection. I can't even describe how good these things were, but talk about fresh and crispy. Triple wow. The next item was the pork belly. It was scrumptious. The right blend of fat to meat ratio. Sweet and tangy. A 10 compared to chef Ramsey's 6 that I had at Hell's kitchen. And then there was the wild west beef tacos. Now if you follow my many reviews you will know I am a taco foodie. It is hard to get a wow out of me over a taco, but oh my God, these were some of the best freaking tacos I ever had in my life! They use a tender skirt steak to line the grilled flour tortilla, and then cheese, grilled onion, and bacon with an arugula salad top. And I believe some kind of chipotle sauce. I am not kidding you, these tacos will bend your knees. I absolutely loved them. They just absolutely nailed this. The wait staff was excellent, I got a pale Mexican beer that was really good, even the lemonade was first class. This was the surprise lunch of my lifetime. I was not expecting much. I was not expecting something worthy of a review even. These are some of the greatest lunches ever when you find a spot like this and were expecting nothing. Kudos to The River Downtown. I just wished I was staying another day so I could go back and try all the other things they have on their menu. Wow wow wow.
