I ordered the chicken Flauta plate, but its just one giant flauta with dry unseasoned chicken inside. Honestly the other stuff my family ordered looked good like nacho plate, wet burrito or enchiladas. I was kinda let down expecting real mexican flautas and was shocked seeing one giant one with no sauce if your mexican you are used to a totally different type of flautas. Chips are store bought and no auga frescas like most mexican restaurants in California. The restaurant is very campy inside and cozy with a fire running, and the service staff were sweet. Just disappointed by the flautas lol

A delightfully quaint restaurant nestled in the mountains. Delicious Mexican food served by incredibly kind staff. Not too far up the mountain to make the trip just for a meal. Will definitely be back soon!

This has absolutely so much history and it shows in the interior and even the exterior. Service was great and opted to sit in the front vip center seating. Lol. Taco salad was fresh and was very filling to the point that I couldn’t finish it. I was so close. Got some Chiles toreados and it was superb. Top tier and excellent service. Must visit

El Mexicano is a little restaurant in the middle of the mountain in Forest falls. The place has a lot to look at pictures and decor and the rustic feel of a cabin. Small and homie. There is no heater, the restaurant is heated by a wood antique heater and it was cold in there. The chips and salsa would have been great if at least the salsa would have been warm. On a cool day like this, it was about 35 degrees outside and maybe 55 degrees inside to give you a idea of the situation. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants that do serve warm chips and salsa. The salsa has a kick it was delicious. They had soda, beers, and wines, I order a coke but was told they had ran out of some favors so I settled with an orange soda. The breakfast burrito was nice and hot. Egg cheese and bacon and hash browns to be exact. It was good but not to die for. Customer service was a little challenging as I talk to them in English and Spanish and they had a hard time understanding. I tried it on a winter day and I’m not a fan. But I would definitely try it for dinner and a spring cool day. And put their best in the world item to the test. Maybe next time. So for now I will give them a 3 star review.

Great little hideaway! Food is a 7.5 out of 10. Like to try more? Had a soft carne asada taco, enough meat for 8? Why not just lower price and serve a normal portion? Chili Colorado was ok, not great, rice and beans ok, highlight of meal was salsa; it gets a perfect 10!!! Chips so, so… Prices were good overall. If you’re in the area, try it!

One of the best Mexican places I’ve ever been in! A hidden gem inside a small beautiful, quiet town. Well worth the side trip from Bear Mountain. Salsa was excellent, as well as the flauta.

This place will reward your scenic drive withe some house made tortillas and hard to find Mexican specialties. Get the fried ice cream for dessert. They had no problem splitting our check up. There is a festive atmosphere and a nice patio.
