La Cabana Mexican Restaurant

👍👍 We got married at the gorge and had a party of 18. They were so accommodating and wonderful. I wish I had our waitresses name, she worked her butt off. Food was delicious and the margaritas! We are already planning our trip back and will stop again. Such great hospitality. I would give 10 stars!!
