One of the best Mexican restaurants anywhere, great selection of beers both Mexican and domestic as well as a full bar and great Margaritas. I love their Chile rellanos here and the carnitas and chile verde are also excellent.

This is a wonderful place. Everyone is welcoming, the ambiance is great, and the best part is that they serve authentic Mexican food. My daughter had the quesabirria tacos with consome, churros for dessert. I had a carnitas plate, agua de. Jamaica, and a flan. Everything was exquisite, even the rice and beans. We will definitely come back when we visit Big Bear

My partner and I just had dinner here, and it was absolutely amazing - we just moved from San Diego recently, and this place is better than many of the places we ate at down by the border! The portions were generous, the flavors were phenomenal, and the service was quick!

The patio has a great ambiance - the aesthetics are cozy and covered for all elements, the staff were super helpful with turning the heaters on for me because I get cold easy, and (most importantly, haha!) it's dog friendly! We will definitely be back!

Space is nice, location very convenient, service was attentive, and food came out very quickly. But... food was pretty bland all around, and it's a bit expensive. I had better mexican food in big bear, but it's not right in the village. You'll have to drive up the hill!

Generally good tasting food,however my burrito bowl was more like a salad,spinach,endive, parsley instead of Cilantro. Needed more pico de gallo too. Again it tasted good but not what I normally get with a burrito. Healthy greens for sure! Tortilla chips were very good!
