Mirada Tacos & Tequila

We ordered guacamole and salsa to go with an order of drinks—a house margarita that was very well done and a “72 mile” that was similar to a blue Hawaiian. The chips were absolutely fantastic although the salsa had a very tomato-forward flavor. The view alone from the patio makes this place worth it.

The view is incredible! Eating outside on a cool summer evening looking over lake Tahoe is probably one of the best places around. We were a little disappointed with the food, the salsa was pretty much had no flavor. The chips were good, the cheese was to die for. We had the fish tacos, and not a lot of spices or flavor. Not bad but we expected a little bit better.

What an amazing place: great food, top-notch service and a beautiful view overlooking the marina.

We asked the hostess for recommendations and her description of the chef's take on the carnitas especially piqued our interest - "like my granny's cooking on Thanksgiving". Eventually we got the fish, chicken and carnitas tacos. Each item was flavorful and distinct but if I had to choose, I'd agree with our server.

They ended up accidentally undercharging us but we got that fixed before spending some time basking in the patio and taking in the vista across from Lake Tahoe. A truly idyllic afternoon well spent.

We'll definitely be going here again the next time we're in Tahoe.
