I ordered the Chile relleno, enchilada, and Taco. Food is 5 out of 10. Enchilada sauce was served on the cold side. Chile relleno not bad, but it had too much batter. Taco was descent. We also ordered the albondiga soup, which was delicious. I ordered side of scrambled eggs for my granddaughter, they were horrible. I guess I was expecting a better food quality. Would I come back? Maybe forge the view. And order something simple.

️Just visited Hortencia’s Mexican Food in Crestline, CA and I’m still thinking about it ️
First of all — the VIEW. You drive up into the mountains and suddenly you’re eating Mexican food with fresh air, patio vibes, and the prettiest scenery ✨ It already feels like a mini getaway before the food even hits.
I started with a horchata that was perfectly creamy and refreshing and a blended mango margarita that was sweet, smooth, and dangerously good
The chips and salsa were freshly made, warm, thin, and crispy — literally my favorite kind You can tell everything is made with care and flavor in mind.
Then came the steaming chicken and steak fajitas with beans, rice, and guacamole on the side — and the sizzle sold me instantly So flavorful, filling, and comforting after a mountain drive.
And let’s talk about the wet burrito with red salsa — HUGE, saucy, and absolutely worth every bite ❤️
Overall: amazing food, generous portions, friendly service, and unbeatable mountain vibes ️⭐
Hidden gem in Crestline — 10/10, will definitely be back! ️

This place is awesome. Cool vibes with a view. We went November 2, 2025 around 4:30pm and it was busy. Parking was tight. Service was decent (it was busy). We sat down, ordered drinks, ate the chips and salsa, within 20 mins we were eating dinner. The only thing that was a bummer was the horchata was not great, it was missing sugar or something lol but overall, The price was fair for the amount of food you get. The food was bomb.com! Hit the spot!

Beautiful view, but disappointing food and service.
The Mexican food was poor in quality and didn’t meet expectations. Unfortunately, the service was also below standard, which took away from what could have been a great experience given the location.

The views are great and the drive was not bad. If you do come here come in the am as the drive in the evening is not good. The food is not terrible but not great and it is a bit overpriced for what you get. But again you are paying for the experience. If you temper your expectations you won’t be disappointed. The menudo is all tripe and like $18 for a bowl and the chorizo and eggs was okay. This place is for the atmosphere. The views are spectacular and the service was fine, not great and not terrible just okay.

First time impressions are important. This place did not pass. The food is not good at all in my opinion. It seems like a great place for hanging out with friends for a night out but not for a family. The view is beautiful so they get 3 stars for atmosphere.

Very beautiful view the staff was under seasoned just like the food the carne asada looked more like chicken it didn’t have much to it the server only came like once the prices are pretty high for being bland but the view is amazing social media really did over hype don’t see us coming back

Food was okay. Went during our drive back from Big Bear so arrived during brunch time, it was slow the patio was not available. The view was nice. Our host was great but the server that took over was rude to a table next to us, that killed the vibe. Maybe dinner time experience is better just not brunch.

The best part for this location is definitely the view. The food was a little plain and needed more flavors. My dish came with a pork tamale and was nothing close to an average tamale. You get better street tamales. The rice wish is a Mexican rice was not even Mexican rice, looks Mexican but not authentic. Overall, if I come back, it would be for the view and a drink, maybe to try the shrimp cocktail.

As someone who travels the world often, I can confidently say this is one of the most breathtaking restaurant views I’ve ever seen. Overlooking endless green mountains, the scenery is simply unforgettable.

I came during lunch and ordered the Fajita Trio (steak, shrimp, and chicken) — served sizzling hot with rice and sides. It was honestly one of the best grilled platters I’ve had. The flavors, spices, and presentation were all on point.

The staff was incredibly friendly and quick. I even asked for takeout boxes, and they were more than helpful.
Considering the view, the quality of the food, and the service — the price is very fair.
Highly recommended — I left truly satisfied.
