    Great restaurant! Excellent service, clean dining room, rustic ambiance. The Shrimp Alfredo is delicious. The sauce is velvety smooth and buttery. Highly recommend!

    The food was outstanding. The ribeye that I ate was probably one of the better ones I’ve ever had.

    We had a good Mexican plate. Thin rib eye steak, cheese enchilada, chili relleno, beans, guacamole, tortillas. Decent margaritas.

    Holy moly. What should say? The best Mexican food I had in ages. The restaurant looks cool, the service was super friendly and quick and most importantly the food was amazing. We've been a party of seven so I had the chance to try a lot of different dishes and they all have been a amazing. My favorite were the Ocpotus with olives on bread, the Tuna steak and the Quesadillas. Also the Mexican coffee tasted awesome and the performance was great too. Make sure to try this place if you're around.

    Very good. Our regular spot, for breakfast La Fuente when we are in this part of town was closed today. So we stopped in across the street at El Encino and it was delicious. The decor is rustic ranch. See pictures. It is comfortable and welcoming. The breakfast menu is varied and includes smoothies and juices along with pancakes & waffles along with the usual egg and Mexican selections. Unique items on their menu include borrego and quail eggs. The service was most attentive. We enjoyed their Cafe de olla and credit cards are accepted. We will be back!

    Valerie...best bartender in Rosarito! is excellent. Meats are cooked perfectly and always very tender. As for desert, try the cheesecake.

    Everything was so delicious. The staff were all super nice. Can't believe we were the only ones in the whole restaurant. This place should be packed. They even answered my questions about the doggy on the property. His name is Guerro.

    I ate here on 11/24/2020 with my Fiance. We were lucky that the restaurant was not busy. So we were able to park easily in front and had open seating. The restaurant has a wild west and rustic theme. We very much enjoyed how the restaurant looked. It was a little cool in the restaurant. A fire in the fireplace would have been nice. All of the staff was very friendly and professional. Our drinks were good. We both ordered steaks, and this is why it is lacking the 5th star. The steaks were not that flavorful, pretty bland. Half my steak was really tender and the other have was very hard. This leaves us to believe they have their meats frozen and then probably use a microwave or something to defrost. I was expecting more for the price they charge. I would probably try to eat here again, but I don't know if I would pay for the steak again.
