I just happened upon this place while doing laundry. And I am certainly glad I did. It's really good authentic Mexican food. The staff is always very welcoming and friendly. It's most definitely a must if your ever in the area. I'll be coming back to try a torta next. This time I have a ground beef hard shell taco and 1 cheese enchilada. Super tasty. Grilled shrimp. Yum.
So, I find it's still a great place for Mexican food. Easy to forget about, tucked away in that little corner. It's tiny and unique. Only one cook ( I believe ) and one waitress when I went this time. So, a little slow because it was slightly crowded. I felt she prefered the locals and didn't know me as a local. A little impersonal and I had to ask for more salsa and my check and wait for a bit. Not too much of a problem because the food was still a fun experience. Yes, I will be back, and ask for extra salsa up front.
First time here and came on a Saturday night. Arrived at around 6:30 and surprised to find out they close at 7:00pm. We were greeted immediately and we were the only ones here at the time. Everything I ordered was fantastic! I was very hesitant about the quality of the food when nobody else is dining but pleasantly surprised. Carne asada was very tender. Chicken enchilada very flavorful. Will definitely come here again.
Classic hole in the wall Mexican joint. Salsa bar is cool, all three salsas are fire. Some of the best horchata and jamaica we've ever had. Food is solid, service is great, atmosphere is charming.
I think I had hyped my expectations too high. I found the prices to be higher than expected (I uploaded pics of the new menu prices), and overall the food was just average (I got the carne burrito). I was also surprised at the nickel-and-dime mentality, like the small portion of chips served, and an extra charge to refill. Still, the staff was so welcoming, and I loved the family-business vibe enough to come again and try other dishes.
Love the very authentic Mexican food 😋. The staff is very very friendly and helpful! Every time we come to Big Bear we always get food there. I have made friends there!
