Pretty decent Thai food. It's gone a little down hill in recent years but still pretty tasty and they have a great lunch special if you can make it. I like the pumpkin curry and wild orchid.

They have a good happy hour here as well. Try their signature cocktail (The Wet Woody) but not too many because they are strong. A tad expensive but nice views of the lake. Definitely sit on the outside patio.

Cool new self-pour beer option for South Lake Tahoe. They have a location at the "Y" as well as Stateline. There is a full bar at the Stateline location. Most of the menu is pretty good although I always steer towards the wood fired pizzas. They are amazing.

Good sushi but you have to deal with mediocre/bad service and typically long waits. If you are going to go there be ready for this. Always a good idea to arrive early in the evening. Typically pretty loud in the lounge area so sit at the sushi bar or restaurant side. Sunburn roll is really good!

I just tried the place the other day and I must say I was impressed. The food was tasty and service was good. It turns out my neighbor owns this restaurant (didn't even know that). I had a traditional burrito with brisket and two (2) of their hot salsas (which were delicious). A few friends recommended the Burgers. I know it sounds crazy to eat burgers at a Mexican place but they swear that have a nice flair and are tasty.
