50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Arrowhead

“Wonderful, accommodating staff, delicious food at affordable prices. Went twice during our 3 days here and each time they didn’t disappoint. My party tried the Albondigas Soup (there were 8 meatballs in a bowl of it for just under $6), the Chicken wrap (my friend said it was probably the best she’s had), both the Chicken & Ground Beef Enchiladas with refried beans (that were perfect) & rice, Shredded Beef Burrito and the al la carte Ground Beef Tostada…. And we give a thumbs on every single item. We also tried their… “Mango Margaritas”, “Long Island Iced Tea” and the “Killer Margarita”, no complaints on those either. The bartender definitely knows how to make a drink!“

“The location has moved to the other end of the center. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that deter you. 4 person's in our party and everyone had a different excellent meal. The space was nicely decorated, clean, comfortable, and great food/service.“

“The food, all of it, is good and consistently tasty. 😋“

“A group of 10 of us went for a birthday celebration yesterday. The menu was great and the service was top notch. Food was AMAZING! We loved this place and plan to return soon!“

“I've only had one thing here and I have dreams of going back just for that. Their steak. Good LORD their steak... It's steak where you can taste a past life, you can taste the grind, you can taste the blood sweat and tears to get them to this shop, and I see it. By God do I see it. Maybe my feet are wet when it comes to good food down here, but so far, THIS is the standard. Step it up everyone else. When Im trying you, I'm thinking of them. ??“

“everything 😋👌💯 is delicious“

“The best gorditas ever!! I highly recommend this place 🫶🏻“

“Food is delicious & Drinks are fabulously delicious 🤤!! Definitely recommend!! It has the most beautiful romantic views 😍 perfect for a romantic lunch or dinner!!! We loved the experience!! 🥂💫“

“I have come several times to eat and I really like the food, the sushi is Sinaloa style and it is really good, I also like the atmosphere they have music and screens where they have sports, the attention is always excellent, thanks to Paulina for her attention.“

“9/16/24
Quick lunch with one of my coworkers, had the Asada Quesadilla and a Coke. They have a salsa bar and decent seating area. You order up front and they bring the food to you in the seating area. It was okay. I wasn't super impressed. I'd try this place again for some tacos next time. I don't want to bash them because I should have ordered tacos but I wasn't feeling it today. It is what is. I'll be back.“

“Great food and service. If you have a chance try it for yourself.“

“Fabulous grilled fish tacos! Yummy food.“

“food was excellent service was great loved it 👌“

“I been coming here since 2016. My family is from Michoacán and this taste exactly from my hometown in Mexico.So flavorful, you can buy it by the pound. And you can order it with tortillas, and eat as you please. And you can get single tacos aswell if your eating alone. Carnitas themselves are not dry at all like other places which are. Salsa onions and cilantro always include with your order. One other thing I've gotten free courtesy tacos in the past. Makes you feel at home. Good people, good food. Also they offer Mexican soda which is great ? ? are yum
%100 recommend“

“they have great food, great service.“

“Awesome menudo and service!!!“

“Food was solid and really held us over during a cabin trip. Good cost, good quality, nice venue. Friendly staff, with solidly built kitchen, a little noisy since theirs no sound insulation between the kitchen and indoor seating area. Having said that, during nicer weather, the outdoor seating looks picturesque. Not my local, but I'd frequent regularly if at all possible.“

“Chicken Garbage Burrito!!“

“I can actually taste the meat in their carne asada tacos.

Onions and cilantro is all they need = 10/10

If a taco NEEDS SALSA and GUAC to taste GOOD its not a good taco - just good salsa and guac.

Their salsa is also solid 9/10.“

“Ever since my family moved to Highland three years ago, this has been our go-to spot for mexican food, and it also has a great family burger meal deal that is budget friendly. Their prices are not super expensive. It's a family business, and the parents run the business with their children. And they are always so kind and have great customer service.“

“Carne asada fries and burritos are a must. Their guacamole is good and everything is prepared to order. Super simple takeout experience every time we come by. Eating in the shop is an option too, but the location isn’t terribly convenient to get to without driving up.We’ve been coming here more and more for breakfast burritos, which are a great deal and delicious. Highly recommended.“

“The food is great!! I’m picky with my birria and let me tell you this one didn’t disappoint! The tortillas were handmade, everything cooked to perfection, and the girls were so nice! Definitely going back ❤️“

“I was so hungry and that chicken tostada hit the spot! I'll definitely be back.“

“Lupita is amazing , heart of gold loves her job , passion, I’m so picky and loveeeee the food and all stafff are amazing but her she got a special spot , this place is great in every way , I promise. Love the food service and hospitality that important“

“They deserve more business... the food and service are amazing.

Complimentary chips and salsa was good. Salsa was solid. Good flavor

Order the cheese pizza and add the birria meat. It came with a nice, crispy yet soft shell. The cheese melted well with the birria, held very nicely. It wasn't greasy. Did not fall apart. Birria was nice, juicy and tender. Great flavor.
Green salsa, red salsa, sour creme, limes on the side if needed.
Pineapple drink was freshly made
the cucumber drink was even better, paired very well if the food

Add an Mulitas. Al pastor meat is juicy. Very delicious.

Birria pizza. 25.00
Mulitas. 10.49
Pina. 4.89
Cucumber 4.89

It's worth every penny
Food service was very quick and high quality. I'm definitely coming back to try more items on the menu

“Great meal - great find on Route 66“

“Just luv it and Our server Maria“

“I've been coming here for decades. Why? Food is great. This place has a long tradition. Bought corn & flour tortillas, banuelos and crispy pork belly. LOVE the PORK BELLY in a corn tortilla and salsa. Thanks to the new ownership for keeping up the Quatro Milpas tradition.“

“I been Here 3 times and the 3rd time was awful. I ordered the same thing I had the other 2 times. Taqutios but I asked AGAIN if I can miss match. The girl that was taking my order had a BAD attitude. Which was shocking because other 2times the woman who took my order was great! But this time it was a youngester. And not only that I heard a lady in the bk ground complainant mocking me because I asked for chicken and beef. That night I spent 66 bucks for Taqutios, asada fries and prok chille fries and tacos . And I almost didn't pay . The young girl had a bad attitude and as she was Handing me my drinks and food like as if she wanted to let it go. In all I probably won't go there again. Food is good but who wants to give their hard working money to a place like that.“

“The food is great!! I’m picky with my birria and let me tell you this one didn’t disappoint! The tortillas were handmade, everything cooked to perfection, and the girls were so nice! Definitely going back ❤️“

“Mi familia y yo somos clientes desde que abrieron en 1991 hasta la fecha, buena comida y muy buena atención al cliente, súper amables. Cien 💯 recomendados 👌“

“Good experience. Horchata was good. Torta was good. The sopes are also good. The tacos de tripa were way too crispy I asked to get them exchanged and they did. Customer service was good too. Overall a good place for good. The wait is not super long but they are understaffed so if you’re in a rush or impatient don’t come here“

“Thoroughly enjoyed coming here. I'm not much of a chicken sort of a person, but the grilled chicken and spicy chicken sandwiches were wonderful. Rosy helped me with my order and gave it to me once it was finished cooking. Thank you Rosy!“

“good tortas, moist meats.“

“Carne Asada Tacos.......yummmmmm!!!!!“

“la mejor comida en el Inland Empire, San Bernardino, sobre todo las Pupúsas Salvadoreñas, muy buenas.. visite éste lugar, altamente recomendado“

“Mitla Cafe has been on our list for a very long time. Over the years we have seen celebrity chefs eat here, and review it. We have done Route 66 and never have hit the restaurant when we could stop and eat, so on the way back from Joshua Tree National Park and a little bit of a detour, we made time to have lunch. So glad we finally got to eat here. The restaurant has been open in this location since the 1930's and is a gem in San Bernardino.\n\nWe were seated right away, our server came over immediately and brought water, chips and salsa. The first basket of chips is complimentary, but you will pay $2.99 for a second basket, which I don't have a problem with.\n\nWe both decided on our dishes. I went with a shredded beef taco, and Mr. B had the two enchilada plate with a shredded beef taco. The taco shell was crispy, filled with tender shredded beef, fresh crispy lettuce and lots of cheese. Sounds basic I know, but it really had an authentic taste to the dish. I did snag a couple of bites of one of the cheese enchiladas filling Mr. B's plate and they were amazing. \nHe loved his plate, again the taco was filled to the brim, the two cheese enchiladas were filled with perfectly melted cheese and a unique and flavorful red sauce. They were not the flat enchiladas many Mexican restaurants serve, these were full of cheese and so good. The plate did not have rice and beans, which was great too. The plate was filling enough.\n\nWe found street parking which was nice. The food was excellent, service great, and you feel the history within the walls and the photos that fill the walls. If we find ourselves in San Bernardino we will definitely eat here again.\n\nNote, that I didn't notice any vegan options, vegetarian options with the cheese enchiladas which are filling. Also, the menu states no substitutions and they mean it. So don't go in expecting to order a plate of food and change it, you can't. I believe others have complained about this, but we didn't have a problem with it. Sometimes you need to eat the food how it is prepared.“

“There menudo is amazingly delicious. It brought me back to the menudo my grandfather would have every Sunday for us from the Original and 1 st Amapola in South Central LA. He was VIP to them so i don’t remember a Sunday without it..NEVER DID I THINK TO FIND THE EXACT SAME FLAVOR, SMELL and with FRESHLY MADE TORTILLAS…The price and portion is fair and reasonable.Best Customer ServiceNot in the Best of locations but the whole shopping center is improving from image to more convenient businesses.

“This has become my go-to, pick-up, Mexican Restaurant. The food is good and the portions are more then generous. Normally, I get two items at other Mexican restaurants. Not at Sosa's. I couldn't finish my Chicken Enchilada with beans and rice plate. The service was excellent and I didn't have to wait long for my take home. I give it 5 Stars.“

“Molcajetes are the best..“

“We are discerning Mexican foodies. This place is fantastic. Excellent food. The servers really care about how they prepare your meal and always have a smile. Very customer focused. Can’t say enough about how great this understated place is.“

“Finally! A place that has white menudo that tastes amazing. The meat was very clean and lean. The soup was full of flavor. I was here the other day and I saw that they had white menudo in the menu. I asked the owner how was it and she said it was great. Of course I was expecting that but she was right!To make things better they serve it every day except Tuesday when the indoor mall where they are is closed.Can’t wait for the next bowl!“

“We were promptly seated upon our arrival. We were hoping to see the Dodgers on their TV which was missing the remote. Staff did an admirable job trying to get the game on the TV using the manual buttons but could not get the station. All 4 of us were given glasses of water, but the server handled glasses from the top placing her fingers on the brim which is quite unsanitary. As a result, we drank our water using straws. Early on we ordered a side of guacamole which seemed to have been forgotten. We reminded our server again when our food arrived. The food was good. The tamale was hard, but overall, all the food was tasty. I would return again, but please don't handle the drink glasses where people put their mouths. Yuk!“

“Mi Lupita Restaurant is a mom & pop Mexican restaurant inside of a Swap Meet, way in the back of the indoor mall. Don’t be fooled by the location or the environment, the food is great! Our group had menudo (available daily) and I had a burrito mojado (Wet burrito). It was delicious and the right amount of food. The Jamaica I ordered as a drink was one of the best I’ve ever had, even to my LA native standards. I was told the menudo was good, but the true champion is the spicy red sauce at the table that’s very addicting. Stop on by if you’re in the area and undecided where to go!“

“Food is always delicious fresh and the employees are always kind courteous and make sure your order is ready on time and love this place then Alberto's down the street and most other Mexican spots so glad they moved in that area

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and wheelchair and disabled access available all the way around weather drive-thru or ordering at the window“

“So GOOD!!😍 love this placeee !! Me and my hubby always get our fix when we are in town 😋😋 @amapola branch out to Nevada pleaseeeeeee you definitely make a lot of 💰💰🤑“

“What a charming restaurant to have here on the moutain. Service was excellent and our server was so welcoming. They put so much effort into their food and it showed. I had the Garden Omelette and the eggs were so fresh. I could go on and on.. we will be back soon.“
