Very fun, welcoming restaurant in Big Bear. Came with my family and we loved the chips, salsa, and generous portions of the entrees. They also have a pretty vast beer selection, especially if you like Mexican cervezas!
The food was excellent – I ordered the triple fajitas (shrimp, chicken, and steak) and enjoyed the shrimp the most. The caramelized onions / peppers were divine!
They have a delicious standard salsa roja, and a super spicy red as well. Everything was delicious and we could totally see ourselves coming back some day.

Stopped in on Halloween afternoon for a bite to eat. Fast and attentive service from Amy. The food is very good. The margaritas are large, strong and very tasty. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Very comfortable atmosphere. The most like Mexico I’ve seen in Big Bear, like one of those places in old town San Diego. We will be back.

How very underwhelming. We came in here for happy hour which they have from 3 to 6 Monday through Friday and we’re very disappointed. I was going to get my usual skinny margarita but they want $20 for one so instead I got the happy hour house margarita, which is what you would expect for six dollars. Way too much ice in a tall glass and super sweet. I had to add a bunch of limes to it.
The chips were very thin and not warm but the salsa had a nice flavor. We ordered the mini nachos and they were disgusting. They threw a few chips on a plate threw some beans on it and then some carrots and peppers. Horrific presentation with just beans and chips basically lol. Then I had the single enchilada, chicken. The chicken was mostly dark meat and dry. The tortilla was way too thick and the red sauce had very little flavor. He had the combination tacos from the happy hour menu when those were disgusting as well. Unsightly presentation and the fish taco tasted extremely fishy and the meat was sparse. He didn’t even like his beer. Reading the other reviews I’m wondering if the regular menu would have better food on it because they’re happy hour menu is a total miserable loss.
Our server seemed to rush us the entire visit. Kept coming back to see if we were ready to order and we told him we were trying to relax and enjoy our time, but he seemed frustrated every time he walked off. The only redeeming quality of this place was the cool Decorations, and the fun booths. Will not be returning each other this establishment.

Staff was welcoming and friendly with a smile. The drinks were perfect as well for the food except the wings. Unfortunately wings were too greasy and rushed to cook. If BOH can put an effort on garnishing the meals at least with color it would make it great presenting to the guest. (Paper wrap/ edible flowers/ or micro cilantro) Kudos to our server who was helpful and on top of service. Sat. Sept 6 8pm

First time visiting the area. Loved this place! We ordered individual plates and a platter, everything was delicious! The drinks were delicious! On top of all of that, the service was great! Amy was doing 5 things at once and didn’t skip a beat! We’d go back just because of the service alone!

This was a great place for a happy hour. The tacos were tasty, good margaritas and the price was great as well. Sitting outside and inside, dog friendly. The server was helpful and attentive. Overall I recommend giving it a try

Great food, chips and salsa are amazing as well. Was surprised by the sombrero tostada, it was large taco salad type dish versus what I normally think of as a tostada. The description says as much but was still a pleasant surprise in execution. We ate outside and it was nice, but the road is also loud. Nothing they can do about that just be ready if you sit outside. Great find and happy we stopped by.

After leaving Aztec Mexican Grill down the street because they couldn’t get me a table. I took a chance on this resturant. It was worst! When I got there the hostess look at us and said let me see if we have a table. I saw almost half of the resturant empty, and thought she was joking with me. When she came back she took us to our table. There was no friendly or welcoming greetings. She sat us down with no menus. We waited 7 minutes for chips and salsa. And we waited 20 minutes for our waitress to come over and I told her we never got any menus. We had already been looking around for menus and we asked one of the busser guys to bring us a menu. At the moment I was talking to our waitress that we needed menus, our menus arrived. And I asked about the kids menu and she rudely replied, “Can’t you see it! Its right there!” At that moment, it was over for me. We decided to leave with an empty stomach and hit the road back home. When we were leaving, we saw a family coming in and I heard the hostess greet them so kindly with a smile. I dont understand why restaurants like these discrimin8 their own people.
