Muchachos was a decent spot to stop and eat for an 8pm on Sunday. Many places are close to closing already. The tacos were good, the shrimp was a hit with a friend;they ordered an additional shrimp taco. The mahi taco was also good. Seemed there was only one server working along with the bartender. Service was a little slow, as expected. Clean bathrooms, parking is along the front of building or public parking not far away.

It seemed like a lovely place to sit and have breakfast with family. We got our seats very fast. But the waitress didn't seem happy to be there. She was rude and slow, we waited 20-25minutes for our food to come out. She was more focused on other table. By the time we got our food, it was cold.

“I came in for the birria tacos and they did not disappoint! The flavor was rich and authentic, and the consommé on the side made them even better. The meat was tender, the tortillas were perfectly crisped, and everything came together just right. Easily one of the best birria taco spots in Big Bear. Highly recommend if you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying. On top of that, Carla was amazing! She provided outstanding customer service, super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best spots in Big Bear for birria tacos, and Carla really made us feel welcome.”

It was friendly however I always expect more when it comes to Mexican food. If you don’t get good reviews you’re not trying hard enough. It was our first time and won’t go back. Everything was over priced for what you received. Mahi Mahi Taco was comical it was a cabbage taco at best. The Birria Quesadilla was tasty. Charging for Chips and salsa when you order an queso elote dip is ridiculous. But the dip was really good! Drinks were very expensive. A Cadillac Margarita was super expensive, too much lime in the mix so I had to add a $18.00 shot of Grand Marnier just to help with taste. More focus on food and less on price.

The food is crap. The only way you wouldn’t mind how bad the food was is if you were drunk. The mixed drinks were ok but pricey for what you got. They also add a service fee which was $30.

Unfortunately we were not happy with the quality or service of this establishment. Food was bland and cold upon receiving. Alcoholic drinks are watered down and over priced. Not the friendly environment we were expecting and very disappointed as we spent quite a bit for our family lunch during this holiday weekend. Would not recommend based on experience.

I walked in and was greeted with a friendly welcome. The chicken taco was amazing and the fajita salad was enough for 2-3 people. Great atmosphere better food. To state that some of the reviews I read are not taking into account that they were from tourists during busy season in the busiest part of bear. We have to staff according to season here and honestly the food was incredible. This will be a new spot for me.

Extremely disappointing. We ordered pancakes, waffles, and French toast for our family of six, and not a single item was edible. My kids couldn’t take more than one bite without spitting it out—and one nearly got sick. I don’t know how you mess up pancakes this badly. We left $80 poorer with four hungry, cranky kids. Definitely would not recommend!

I ordered the shrimp fajita salad and was pretty disappointed. The overall flavor was very bland, and the ingredients didn’t seem fresh — the corn and beans looked and tasted like they came from a can. The shrimp wasn’t cooked well, which really brought down the dish even more. On top of that, we were charged an 18% service fee even though we were just a party of two. Our waitress barely checked on us the entire time and didn’t ask how our food was. Definitely not the dining experience I was hoping for.
Beautiful cantina! The birria tacos were so delicious we ate them before getting a pic! The margaritas are very generous, but their flavor could be a bit better. Other than that I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back! We loved it 😍

I just love this place. We were just exploring the area. Good Mexican music lured us in.
Drinks are amazing; they know how to prepare them. We felt right at home.
I want to thank Carlos for his excellent customer service. Top-notch, really.

Food, to put this simply was just not good. I don't want to go into more detail with more because that would just be mean. The service was just ok. Friendly staff but food took forever to come out. I would not recommend this place unless you really don't eat Mexican food often or are not Latino. You will surely be disappointed if you know what this type of food should taste like.

this place seemed like a good spot at first we get seated at the back of the restaurant in a corner which is fine but a waitress takes our order and tells us her coworker gave her a broken ordered tablet and laughs about it. she starts taking our order and after she’s done, she walks away mind you i went with just 4 people including me she doesn’t come back until like 30 minutes pass by. she comes back to tell us that she put our ticket for our food down. LIKE WHAT BARELY! okay fine we wait LONGER another waiter sees me and my family sitting doing NOTHING! and proceeds to asks us “are you guys waiting for your food?” EXCUSE ME!! LIKE NO IM JUST SITTING HERE STARVING!! this was beyond disappointing so we told our server that if the food doesn’t come out in 10 minutes we’re leaving. she says the food is being made and we ask what are we waiting for? she said well the salad has been made and your tacos and burrito are getting started on. i’m sorry but 40 minutes just for a salad to be made. baby i can make a salad in 2 minutes. also there was a bigger table next to us drinking and ordering so much stuff and receiving it in like 10 minutes. i’m not sorry but beyond disappointing i wouldn’t go and i checked the reviews their food is just as bad as their service.👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
