Skip this little tourist trap. With the menu that promises a wide selection you forget you are in a business that shares a kitchen with a pizzeria and another little restaurant. The prices reflect a cruise ship docking town and the flavors don’t deliver. We tried the smoked salmon quesadilla, the reindeer burrito (it’s reindeer sausage FYI), and the rock fish tacos. The tacos and the quesadilla were the only decent tasting things but there were only 2 tacos making them essentially $9 tacos! Well we’re fed after an awesome fishing day and that’s all that matters. But we definitely won’t be back here.

There are some things I would do differently like fresh spinach instead of frozen/canned? Overall though the flavors are super yummy and the cooks and servers really care about what they are doing and you can tell they love food. Not sure what all the terrible reviews are about. Prices are high but that is the way of Alaska. This is a great to go place as there is not much ambiance. We ate here twice in two days so they are doing something right. I only give positive reviews so you won’t see a review of a nearby restaurant lol. The lack of ambiance definitely made up for by friendly people.

19 dollars for a crab quesadilla with what appears to be Kraft American cheese… they should be embarrassed to serve this to paying customers… Go to Los Chanchitos and save yourself the misery of this establishment

The only reason it got as much as two stars was because they were kind and accommodating. However, the food and prices were awful. I ordered the big nachos ($18.25) and asked for extra cheddar cheese instead of the liquid nacho cheese. They agreed but the nachos came out cold with the cheese unmelted and not that much cheese. I asked if he could microwave it to melt the cheese and he did. I also asked for no meat and he offered to add beans. The beans were way too heavily coated in some seasoning I could barely eat them. Also, it says it comes with sour cream but it didn’t have any on it so I asked and he brought some. The chips were also the worst tasting chips I’ve ever had. Everyone else in my party was so upset with their food we wanted to get a second dinner afterward to cleanse the palate. I don’t expect much of a Mexican place in Alaska but I expect better than that, especially for the high price.

I’ve been here many times over the years always getting a fish burrito of some sort. Recently I went back and was worried that things had changed seeing the low ratings. Nevertheless, I had a tofu veggie burrito and it was amazing (despite the fact that the name “tofu veggie burrito” doesn’t inspire confidence)! They have an great variety of house-made salsa and hot sauce. One of favorite places to get Mexican style food in Alaska.

This place used to be good, but not any more. The food was bland and over priced. The nachos had “fake” cheese sauce instead of real cheese, the tortilla chips were clearly stale store bought chips, and I heard the microwave be used for almost every order. Go somewhere else, you’ll thank me.
