Cafe El Lago

Well after two straight poor experiences I'm going to have to downgrade my rating of this restaurant.   The service has not been great, I was overcharged (always get a copy of CC receipt - I wish I would have), flies all over the place and their food just isn't what it has been in the past.  I can't recommend this restaurant anymore.  Hopefully they clean up their act because with new restaurants moving into the area I feel they are in for a brutal wakeup call if they don't.

Food is bland, we've had more authentic Mexican food in northern Idaho.  Additionally, the waitresses were more interested in complaining about tips and having to answer customer questions about the menu then waiting on us and the other tables. I'd recommend the fast food place down the street before this place.

This is our go-to Mexican restaurant.  I can't speak to authenticity, atmosphere or anything like that (since that really isn't a factor when I'm looking for something quick and good) but if you're looking for a place to get some good food, Café El Lago won't disappoint.  We always get their Southwest combo plate (with a cheese enchilada instead of chicken) and it's great. The salsa ranges from delicious to way too much onion/garlic but other than that, I have no complaints.
