Mexico Viejo - Moneta

This restaurant replaced Chopsticks. It has been open for approximately one week. The location is going to get built in traffic from the marina crowds and people traveling over the bridge. If you like Mexican food, you should include this restaurant in your plans while visiting the lake. The free chips and salsa were great. Since the employees make fresh guacamole at your table, I would assume the salsa is freshly made too. The business is so new that servers aren't used to having special requests made (i.e. substituting refried beans for black beans or using mild salsa if a dish is made with something spicy). However, if you request a substitute, they will accommodate you. Not all of the servers speak fluent English but the managers do. The outside patio overlooks part of the lake. If I wanted to have a quiet conversation, I would go somewhere else. If you don't mind the noise, this is a fun place. The bar area extends outside. The cheese sauce is excellent. There was a decent selection of lunch options. Most dishes run $10 $12. They had white and yellow rice. If you want a specific type, ask for it. It was fun watching guacamole being made for a party of approx 14 people. If you have a birthday celebration or special occasion, you can bring your own dessert. Four out of our party of five was happy with their selection. My family member wasn't expecting her dish to be spicy. I would just clarify while ordering to make sure I liked what what was served. There is reserved restaurant parking but the marina gets crowded on the weekend. Be aware of traffic as you enter/exit. Not everyone is as cautious as they should be.

Love the food and drinks! The view is beautiful and the employees are friendly. It's a good time!

If someone asked me where a good place to eat on the lake is I would not say this restaurant. This place wouldn't even cross my mind. The food is okay. My tacos looked great plated, but when I put them in my mouth they were luke warm. They cost almost $13 This place is in the crazy horse marina so they get a lot of people coming in off the lake to eat here. Today we came to eat here because it was raining we wanted to get out of it. They have outdoor seating that is covered and a good bit of overhang so we asked to sit outside, and they said they weren't seating anyone outside because of the rain...umm, okay(?! We ended up waiting for the rain to stop under their walkway when it finally stopped we were able to sit outside. Which was nice. The view is pretty! But because they're right off the water I also found it odd that they don't allow dogs in their outside area. But maybe I'm just a huge animal lover so it's odd to me ‍

We had high hopes. SLOW service and ok food. We won't go back during the summertime. Hopefully it will be better when less busy.

Can I live here please? They have a tequila bar, a beautiful view, boat dock, and Mexican food. What more could you ask for to enjoy a summer day on the water? We were seated very quickly and delivered waters almost immediately (thank you, we were parched! . We ordered margaritas and strawberry daiquiris as well and they were delicious (and strong! . We ordered arroz con pollo, beef tacos, and a burrito, as well as chips and queso. The chips and salsa were complimentary. Everything tasted great and we really enjoyed the service, which was attentive and helpful with suggestions. All portion sizes were big so consider splitting if you get full easily. I'd recommend this restaurant if you're in need of a food stop while out boating on the lake. Be sure to visit the gift shop downstairs for some goodies as well!
