15 Best Mexican Restaurants in Big Bear Lake

“The primary focus of this establishment is the culinary experience. The ingredients utilized are fresh and quality cuts of meats. They are expertly prepared by their skilled chefs. It looked like a Mexican mom and pop establishment, but the food was amazing!! I had ordered a Chicken Chimichanga with red sauce (wet), and the size of the burrito and generous amounts of sauce was killer good. ( No gristle, no bone, or dried out poor cuts of chicken) Only the good portions perfectly made. My husband had the steak fajitas. He kept commenting on what good cuts of steak they used and how delicious his food was. SORRY, but my huge wet chicken Chimichanga didn't have a chance to get its photo taken!!“

“Unfortunately, i had a unpleasant experience.
Too expensive for what i ordered. Asada meat had little flavor, it was dry, and too simple. The place is too old, no AC available,and definitely requires maintenance. My first visit was during breakfast time, and the food was great.
I think they need to pay more attention.“

“Food, drinks and service were all great!!“

“Food was excellent, everything was flavorful even the rice and beans. The indoor dining area was on the small side but not terrible. One downside is that when you order a soda it comes in a can and they put a little tamarind type powder in the iced tea.“

“If you are hungry or thinking about where to eat tasty and filling, you should come here! It is very, very tasty!!!! The portions are large, there is a lot of meat and it is really tasty, you have definitely not tried such a burrito anywhere. I tried the Burrito and it is huge and incredibly tasty, today I took the Quesadilla, Oh, God, it is unrealistically tasty. I definitely recommend it!!!!“

“If you’re looking to get married, or a venue for a large gathering I would recommend Santana Mavericks 1000%!! We just had our wedding here on the 19th. Susana, and her team outdid themselves. They took care of all of the decor, set up, food, and clean up. They completely exceeded our expectations, and made the day incredibly special for us. The views are incredible, and the atmosphere was so romantic. We had the most amazing wedding day, and I can’t thank Santana Mavericks and the staff enough. The food was incredible, and all of our friends and family had the best time.“

“Great service and great food.“
