Authentic Mexican cuisine is not as far away as you would expect while vacationing in the Sierra Nevada. Begin your meal with a selection of appetizers, spanning the Sampler that features flautitas, quesadilla strips, nachos or the garlic shrimp. Refresh your thirst with a glass of Horchata (homemade rice water), Sangria, or any one of their imported Mexican beers. Entrees include local favorites such as the chicken mole, fajitas, casuelitas, homemade pork tamales, tacos, enchiladas and burritos.
