After seeing the restaurant featured on The Magnolia Networks, (Re) Motel, we decided to go here on a whim and check out this quant motel/restaurant.
When we pulled up, the sign said upper parking was for hotel guest only. Parking for the restaurant was in a small lot at the bottom of the property. Let me tell you, the 5-7 minute hike up the steep hill could be a little challenging for some. I would suggest someone dropping off guest at the top and then someone else (sorry dads) parking below.
We found the restaurant, located at the end of the pathway that hosts most of the small, but charming motel rooms. Let me tell you, whoever designed this outdoor area, seriously did a stellar job. The whole property embodies mid century vibes perfectly!
Upon entering through the black door clad with beautiful brass details, we were greeted by the hostess/waitress. Jasmin gave us the option of eating in or out by the pool. We ate indoors, the weather was a bit warm. She quickly took our order, brought our drinks and checked on us at least 3 times while we waited for our food.
My husband and I ordered the chips and guacamole as an appetizer, the barbacoa tacos and hamburger with fries as the main entrees. Both our meals were pleasantly delicious, the reviews were spot on! The chips for the guacamole were freshly made, the taco meat was perfectly seasoned and served with a delicious house spicy salsa!! I expected my hamburger to be ordinary, but it was far above that, my husband agreed!
We also had drinks. I had a michelada, and my husband the (fruit punch)? Let me tell you, the drinks were strong, not a bad thing if you like them with a punch!
Overall, a great dining experience made amazing thanks to their attentive and friendly staff. The server, Adriane, our waitress, Jasmine, and the other waitress Debra were all very welcoming. Thanks to them, we will come back again and again.
Next time, we will definitely stay the weekend and experience the pool and laid back setting this charming property has to offer. A true gem in California
