Since 1949, Ardovino’s Desert Crossing has provided a unique ambiance. Situated at the base of Mount Cristo Rey, a seat on the windmill patio is nothing short of breathtaking. Innovative cuisine, fresh quality ingredients, and an extensive wine selection demonstrate their passion for diversity and perfection. Make time before or after your meal to relax and unmind at the Mecca Lounge, a throwback to a casual 1950’s lounge. Local art and gambling memorabilia’s all part of the appeal.
