Quaint cantina situated on Cave Creek Road in Carefree Arizona
A Lovely although quite dirty and smelly pond on the very large patio sets the mood
Ducks birds and turtles alight upon the protruding boulders and entertain you as you enjoy the chips n salsa
Three types of salsa are served
A spicy hot , a mild and a mild green salsa
The chips tasted store bought and were slightly stale
Happily the first basket is served gratis while subsequent baskets will cost you .99 cents per
My husband and I presented promptly at 11:00
Here are some of the highlights
I asked what the chefs "Seafood special " (and I am quoting the menu ) was . Today's seafood special is chicken
I tuned out the rest of the description entirely because they lost me at the chicken part
Husband ordered the Plato de Mexicana
One beef tamale
One shredded beef taco
One cheese enchilada
Served with a large pile of refried beans
Sans tortillas
No rice is offered
The beef smelled off and looked like it was stewed
Perhaps made well in advance and left to linger
Husband refused it
Since the seafood special was chicken and I do not imbibe I ordered a bean tostada with side of guacamole
Beans are not made with lard
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Mine was ok
Shell was definitely stale but I was so grateful about the lard free beans
Lettuce was good
No tomatoes very little cheese
A bland affair until I doused it with the array of salsa so kindly provided
Very bland indeed but I would perhaps come back with friends and keep trying for that seafood special jackpot to hit
This place looks like it would be awesome for friends cocktails and appetizers
It is certainly worth another try
I truly wish them well
