This article is reviving the long running coverage of restaurants near Joaquin Miller Park that are friendly to mountain bikers and serve beer. No friendly indoor parking or no beer, no review. And hence you can see my parking spot in the picture. El Agavero in Montclair Village has fair prices for a nice establishment with an ample menu.
I had a Pacifico beer, and it came in ice cold. Tito the bartender was accommodating and quickly came to the rescue with napkins as well as kind words after I spilled my beer on the bar. The chips and salsa are quite hard to beat too.
I ordered the vegetarian “mole” enchiladas. I was pleased by its finely-diced vegetables. And mole is a spicy cocoa-based sauce. That is it. But be warned if you like to night ride: arrive before 8:00PM because that is when they retire the cool norteña music and instead play Caribbean regaetton.
