Food Scene
Great Farmhouse Mexican food (but no atmosphere) - menu items are also good but get the specials! Call ahead because it is small and funky and fills up fast (plus they have creative hours ;-) ... and bring cash (they do not accept credit cards)

It is a restaurant that is a throw back to 1850 ... the draw here is they are in the middle of nowhere ... way up Beasore Road ... so far in the Sierra National Forest that there is no power and they use a generator to cook. Homemade pie and/or cobbler while sitting on their deck in a beautiful meadow...can't be missed!
