Hernandez Hideaway Restaurant

"love the authentic vibe good food. love that there is a mild lake to hike with my dogs around and have a drink or meal after. I had the lobster burrito it was huge and full of tasty lobster. Amazing service can't wait to try a margarita next time. it's not cheap, I do wish they had a special or happy hour, however the portions were worth it because I can make a meal last with left overs, and the lobster was fresh. I think if it were priced a bit better for drinks/sides/kids meal it would be more busy but I will definitely try to make it in a couple times a month because my dogs love the lake as well."

"It's all about the hang. This place claims to have invented the margarita, and my wife says it's good. They had just one mezcal on the bar when we were there, but it was a good one: Union."

"This restaurant is a little hard to find, it's tucked away off the beaten path but worth the trip. The food and margaritas were amazing. The staff were super friendly and very willing to make sure you were happy with your food and drinks. We were not locals but went on the recommendation of our daughters friend. It seems like a place the locals come however even though this was our first visit, the staff made us feel very welcome. This restaurant is most definitely recommended!"

"Food: The guacamole was so delicious, and the salsa was quite tasty as well. My partner and I split the carnitas plate. The carnitas was pretty dry and did not have too much of a wow factor for the $24. Perhaps it wasn't in its freshest state. Seems as if it might have sat under a heat lamp too long. However, again, the plate did come with a decent portion and the delicious guacamole. We did have to ask for the olives the menu stated the plate came with, as it did not come with the olives. Service: I would suggest that prices for sides be stated on the menu, because we were quite surprised by the price of the side of guacamole ($6.50) and side of sour cream ($5.50) by the time the bill came. Atmosphere: Clean, calm atmosphere with good music playing (visiting during lunch on a Wednesday)"

"Great food, kind and great hospitality would come here again."

"First time in years that we have gone. It was great to know things are still good. Having the house margarita? Have a DD. They are good and strong. It is worth the trip if you live outside the area."

"A random find as we were exploring lake Hodges. Great food, vibe and service. The seafood platter was delish - everything was fresh and tender (especially cod and scallops). Comes with 3 tortillas so plenty of food. They also recommend the Cadillac margarita, which my partner enjoyed but I thought was a bit strong. Quite reasonably priced. Interesting decor, adobe house vibes with retro art work. Interesting fact - the owner of the place nice yes the margarita back in the day!"
