15 Best Mexican Restaurants in Big Bear Lake

“My husband and I ate here tonight. the service was great and the food was fantastic! I highly recommend Nuevo Vallarta Grill ♥️we will definitely will be coming back soon!“

“This is literally the best Mexican/latin food I have ever had. The restaurant crew all were nice especially our waitresses. They took care of me and my family as it was our first time visiting this restaurant. We had heard great reviews about this place and it did not disappoint! The chips and chicken wings were fire! Couldn’t stop munching it down. Literally finger licking good! They were so fast with our food but also carefully made picture perfect, and everything tasted so delicious. I loved my wet carne asada burrito and cranberry lemonade. My family left this place with full bellies as we couldn’t take another bite and letting the goodness settle in and had to take the rest home for another round another time hahha. We went today and it wasn’t busy at all and in a way it made the experience all the better. Food is decently priced and so worth it because everything tasted fresh, it was hot and full of flavor I kid you not it’s literally the best Latin food I have ever had. And they even put on music for us and my little niece danced around the restaurant very happy with her soup of the day and the yummy aguas frescas. Music set the vibe as very welcoming and filled life to the restaurant. It was just a great time with wholesome fun and time to be intimate or bond with good people around you in this setting. It’s a really neat place you can sit inside and look at all the unique wall decor also have the option to dine outside and enjoy the fresh air that big bear has to offer. We said our goodbyes as we had to race against time to get back home to avoid driving down the hill before it get dark. What really stuck out to me and as we me and my family were about to leave parking lot to go back home our waitress smiled and waves us a goodbye! how neat it that to care about there customers from beginning to end. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 no doubt. Please hop on this gem support great people like Gabby and her staff and grab a bite! If you love Mexican food you won’t regret it and I can’t wait to come back because the customer service here is superb! As someone used to work in a restaurant and the hotel business I can say I have a deep appreciation for others who value their customers to help them feel comfortable no matter what and effort putting in through great customer service cleanliness and working behind the scenes to deliver great hospitality and is genuine about it. You don’t get that a lot and that’s why they stood out to me. Love this place, love the staff. Great times. Thank you so much again. This place is top notch!“

“Hidden gem in big bear that brings a home cooked style atmosphere. a regular stop when I come up. located behind the lodge and next to Murphys barbershop. 100% recommend trying it out“

“This is a very basic restaurant as far as atmosphere, there are four tables inside. It seems to be mostly take out. My wife had a Chile Rellano that she says one was of the best she has ever had anywhere, she also loved the refried beans. I had a carnitas torta that was very good and generously sized. The service was friendly and efficient. We will be back here next time that we return to Big Bear.“

“Im very picky when it comes to authentic tacos and its hard to find good tacos up in big bear mountains. These tacos were delicious!! I had asada tacos and my wife had a Burrito. The burrito is huge. The meat was seasoned perfectly. Highly recommended. This will be my go to spot for tacos and burritos when I visit the mountain.“
