Best tacos on this planet !!! 🤩
Best Mexican food in Big Bear hands down!Family owned and worked.
We had such an incredible experience at this taco spot! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner, Edson, who not only took our order but personally cooked and served our food. That kind of personal touch is rare and really made us feel welcome.
The tacos were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. You can tell Edson takes pride in what he does, and it shows in every bite.
On top of the amazing food, the customer...read full review

La Bamba Mexican Grill offers a warm and welcoming dining experience with a distinct Mexican flavor. Known for its delicious tacos, it features various flavors topped with unique gourmet add-ons, including the "bamba" style tacos that are generously filled with protein, melty cheese, and lots of toppings. The restaurant's soft yellow corn tortillas are larger than standard street tacos, pairing perfectly with ice-cold horchata or homemade aqua frescas. The menu is simple, focusing on tacos, quesadillas, and tortas, with a special touch of Mexican street corn made fresh to order. The owner/chef Edson ensures that everything is handmade and done just right, creating a casual, clean, and friendly atmosphere. Popular choices include the birria and carne asada tacos, along with the flavorful sopapillas and churros for dessert. Although the restaurant is sometimes closed unexpectedly, visitors find that the fantastic food and attentive staff make each visit worthwhile. It is a hidden gem in El Mirage, located in an unassuming shopping center with small parking. The inside is quite small with a few tables and bar seating. The menu is very small and mostly tacos, with no rice and beans or burritos. On Tuesdays, they offer Birria and tostadas, with specials announced on social media. Service is order-at-the-counter, and staff are friendly and welcoming. Tacos come four to an order, with options like pastor, asada, chicken, and shrimp, often served with pico, cucumbers, and hot sauce. Prices are fair, and the tacos are very full and satisfying. Some reviews mention that the hours are short and that it’s not a fast food place, but the made-to-order street tacos are considered some of the best around. The restaurant has plans to move to a bigger location, so visitors should confirm the address before heading over. Despite occasional slow service during busy times, the overall experience is positive, and many find the food worth the wait.
