Drove thru Clearlake & found a family-run eatery. The shrimp quesadilla was AMAZING! My husbands enchiladas were great! We even talked about making a special trip to eat & hangout at the Lake/Park!

Great food, friendly staff, good portions and affordable. Wish I could post a photo of the super chicken nachos because they give you so much food for your money.
