Went to Hortencia's again today to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The servers sang wonderfully and loud!!! My daughter was happy for the excitement of the servers. I appreciate Mercedes and Giovanni. So helpful and went out of their way for us. They came to our table and asked if we needed anything . The place was packed and they still came to ask us!! The food was great. Service was amazing.

A hidden busy busy place in the heart of the mountains. The food, the service, and the breathing views of this place compete with one another!Karla give us a tour of this three floor marvel with lower function room, upper and lower patios and movies made on location.We really didn't want to leave at all. The sun was out, the food was aswone and the tour with Karla made us home.They are open 9 to 9 with extend hours in weekends. The weekday wait time is 5 minutes, and during the weekend up to sixty minutes of so.A true Jewel in the heartland.

Awesome place to eat but gets crazy busy during the weekend. Parking can be a bit of a travesty as well. The view is nice though and the food is decent enough.

You can't put a price on a good view. Apparently many people think so because the parking lot gets packed.Our meals were not bad. We would definitely like to try some more stuff but parking has been tough the times we've returned. I'd recommend giving it a try. The service wasn't bad either. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I'd recommend a warm afternoon and to sit outside even though there are windows inside that allows you to enjoy the overlook. You can find this place off the main highway while your driving up or down the mountain. We have a 3bed 2bath cabin nearby. Check out my profile for link.
