Castillos Mexican Food Restaurant, Bass Lake

[Sandman]

[Chem101]

I can't comment on the Oakhurst Castillos which I think is run by the kids, however, I love the Bass Lake Castillos. The food and service is great. The only shame is, due to local politics, Castillos is still fighting for a liquor license. Unfortunately you can't enjoy a nice margurita with your enchiladas. Strange since the local bar is about 100 yards away. I'd love to hear the rational for denying the license.

isn't there a law about the number of places that can sell alchohol in a certain area?

i seem to remember hearing that as the reason given for the lack of liquor license

I've heard that it was the Bass Lake homeowners Assoc that has refused them the liquor license. I could understand it if Castillo's was just a bar, but with the main focus on the food, and the length of the owners having a business in the mountains, it seems silly to me.
I've eaten there a couple of times and both the food and service were good, but would have been better if I could have gotten a Tecate!

Castillos in Bass Lake is great! They have a liquor license now. The mother of the family owns this one. I heard they sold the Oakhurst location this month.

Where exactly is Castillo's at Bass Lake?

[Sandman]

I moved the comments about the Oakhurst Castillos to the topic for that location. It is true that the Oakhurst location is no longer owned by the family. The kids sold it this month.

I have went to Castillos at Bass Lake a lot lately and always get great service.

YEAH!! I can have my margarita with my chips & salsa!!

(Before I get too excited...is it a full liquor licence, or just beer/wine???)

No Wine Margarita's for me its gotta be the real thing http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/yes.gif so hopefully its a full license

Its next to Ditton Realty, on the side of the so called antique place.. I forget the name, but its across from Good Ole Days.

Yes... they server Margaritas, so it must be the full license. Please also remember that Tina is open in the winter and relies on locals to keep her open. Please support this new Bass Lake restaurant all year.

They are located near the Pines... near Beaver St.. From the Pines, drive on the low road towards The Falls and you'll see a redish building on the right side.

BTW: Tell Tina you read her reviews on Oakhurst Online! She asks me what people are saying every time I go in there. http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/wink2.gif

Oh goodie!! We were there last year just after Labor Day, and the food was great, service was great (well, no one else was there! They were going to close, but we came with a group of 12), but missing the margarita!

Going up in about 9 days (not that I'm counting) so I'm sure we make it there at least once!

Hi all!

Well, We were up at the lake last week, planning on going to Castillos, but alas, they couldn't take our size group (23)...or rather they wouldn't take a reservation (and we weren't going to take a chance waiting). Oh well, I understand though, the place isn't really that big to begin with. Maybe over Labor Day!

Why are the comments about Castillos at Bass Lake so old. The food is fantastic since Efran and his wife bought it over from Tina.

Real authentic mexican food and the prices are great too.

Gotta try it.

We went in there one time. The service was really good and the food was yummy. The only issue that I had is that it was pretty pricey. We stick with El Cid's.

I'm hooked on Lucy's and it's much closer to my home.

Castillos is good, but would much rather head over to La Cabana in North Fork.
