Las Campanas restaurant, located on the Main Plaza, serves consistently good, tasty food at each meal. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the large menu has something for everyone and good photos to help you figure out what some things are.
Order several side orders and share them (roasted jalapeño peppers stuffed w/cheese, nachos, guacamole, twice baked potatoes with delicious fillings, cowboy bean soups or roasted onions.)
Appetizers include tuna stuffed avocado, pecan cream cheese rolls, and melted cheeses with various toppings. Salads are varied and healthy!
For your main course choose between tacos, burritos, quesadilla, chicken or pork fajitas, shish-ka-bobs, almond chicken, breaded fish rolls stuffed with shrimp, cheese and garlic cream, Rib-eye and T-Bone steaks and various pastas. You can eat as light or heavy as you desire.
The Las Campanas owners are very grateful to all those that choose to eat with them. With this in mind they strive to make sure that each and every dish that leaves the kitchen provides excellent, tasty, attractive food. Buen provecho!
