Once a chili house at the Tecopa Hot Springs Resort, the restaurant's being brought back to life by friends, David Washum of C'Est Si Bon Cafe in nearby Shoshone, and Executive Chef John Muccio, former Executive Chef of Las Vegas' Mama Jo's. Together, they are planning on restoring it to create Pastels, as a culinary destination in the Mohave Desert.

The land and resort have quite a history of their own. Its amazing to think the Tecopa Basin landscape used to be underwater. It draws you in, especially early in morning light and throughout the mesmerizing sunsets. Here you are engulfed by the beauty of the desert landscape.
