“Wonderful food, awesome service, and fantastic prices.Right down the street from Victorias were I received the worst experience of my life.I'm pretty sure Victorias has a deal with the local hotels to recommend them, and probably paid reviews. Don't buy it! Go to Deep Creek instead.I had the country fried steak and my wife had the Chilaquilles.Fed all 9 of our family members for a hundred bucks.Perfect for breakfast, enjoy!Parking: Right in front, about 10 spaces..Kid-friendliness: Such nice people, great kids menu, large portions.“
“Food was really good. I had the chilaquiles and my husband had the combination plate w the chicken and cheese enchiladas rancheras. I was going to take pictures of our food but it was too late. Our plates were empty ! Limited seating, but the ambiance was good. We were seated right away. They also had piña, Jamaica, and horchata. We will be back for sure. I'm going to try the albondigas next time...“
“Absolutely 5-Star! Everything was on point. We were in Lake Arrowhead for several meals and this one was definitely the best. They also serve breakfast, so we're coming back for that as well next time. All four people in my dining party were very happy with their food. Cali Burrito. Shrimp Burrito, Chimi-style bean & cheese. They even had a chicken sandwich for our picky eater. Highly recommend!“
“We had our waitress running ragged with that margarita special doing laundry next door and found a new margarita spot 2 for 15$ and it came with boneless wings for free *Tues-fri great deal very very happy we were the only ones in there but it was very busy and she kept them coming I ordered the strawberry blend my mom had the lime on rocks bomb ? if your looking for a spot here it is but don't blow it up cuz I wanna go back :)“
“Juanito's is a most welcome discovery for delicious Mexican food in the Inland Empire! I live in Redlands and have not been able to find a place that excites me and my wife to get tasty Mexican food! Not only is it yummy, but the prices are very affordable compared to most in the surrounding areas, like Redlands. The street tacos are excellent, the meat burritos are more than satisfying, and the potato tacos are worth the extra food you'll eat by ordering one! Their green salsa is not disappointing, very spicy, and flavorful!“
“Note: I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of our food. Take that as a sign...it was good. We got there early, so the restaurant was just starting to get busy for breakfast. The smells of the kitchen really hit the appetite. Very small dining area, but warm and cozy. Decor was classically Mexicano. The menu was classic. They do have adult beverages if you are dining a little later in the day, but for me - I decided on a Mexican coke to go with my meal. I had the Chorizzo con Juevo plate and my wife had the Machaca plate. Both meals were delicious and filling. The beef in the Machaca was well seasoned. The refried beans were not your canned refried beans, or at least they did not taste like it. Maybe I was that hungry. The surprise was the salsa. Homemade and delicious. They must have a lot of people asking for it as they do sell it to go. If your on your way up to Arrowhead or Big bear, this little gem is right on the highway where you decide to go left to Arrowhead or straight to Big Bear. If you're hungry it is worth the stop. Hasta Luego!“
“Stuck in Highlands because Big Bear is off limits? Forget about buying snow chains for your wheels, get on down to Mi Cocina for some top notch Mexican meals.The moment you walk through the doors of this beige palace you'll know you're home. I have a feeling Mi Cocina means "my kitchen" in Spanish, but if I had a second guess, I say it for sure means happiness.This place is a gem. The vibes? Stunning. The margaritas sizes? Stunningly large. The live band? Playing a Spanish rendition of Margaritaville, yes that's right, stunning. If you think you've experienced happiness in your life then just stop lying to yourself and get on down here.Show me a place where they hand make the hot sauce upon request and I'll let name my first born. Luiz is known to please.So, if you've been out in the cold for a while, this Mexican kitchen will put a smile on your dial. Mi Cocina, I've never been keener.10/10“
“Stopped here with my daughter after soccer tournament in search of some carne asada fries! We ordered some tacos, fries, and horchata. Fries were DELICIOUS! They do not use nacho cheese, which is important to us, and they also load em up with beans and rice + all the trimmings. Meat was flavored amazing! Horchata must've been freshly made because it was soooo tasty. Authenticity at its finest here, plus the staff was so kind and friendly. Highly, highly recommend to stop here if you are in the area.“
“Food taste so AMAZING both times I visited. I had the Cali fries 1st the portion was big. 2nd time he had the Birria tacos we also tried grilled shell hard steak and chicken tacos. Everything was flavored perfect also nice portions. Service was great. Nice and clean place. I already shared our experience with a few people. Me and my honey will return. I highly recommend this place if you are tired of skimpy portions and tasteless food.. THIS PLACE IS A MUST TRY...“
“Parking: Good parking availableKid-friendliness: Best birria place I’ve tasted so far the birria de Chivo was delicious ! They played a kids movie for my son so he could calm down which was amazing and thoughtful ! Totally recommend this place 10/10“
“Been there for breakfast and lunch. Food is great (love the chips and salsa bar), and the service is fast. The seating is comfortable, the ambiance is nice - family oriented, and even with the various sports tv's you can still hear each other speak without yelling. Oh and don't forget that you can get adult beverages if that suits your fancy.“
“I've been going here everyday on my lunch, work like a block away. I'm highly picky about Mexican food, hit up all the local joints, Amapola, Alberto's, Angeles that type of sort of stuff. With how those spots operate they're always hit or miss. This place has not disappointed one bit, the food is fresh and extremely flavorful. Not once has it been a miss. I'm very big into traditional Mexican burrito with rice and beans, cilantro and cebolla, honestly one of my favorite foods. This spot (although smaller than others), has that best kind of burrito from any spot. Don't mind shelling out the extra $ for it, as again, the flavor is astounding. Chili cheese fries are also solid. Heard about the spot from my coworker and I haven't taken my lunch elsewhere for a couple of months now. Also the staff is extremely kind and always nice to talk to ?“
“We came to San Bernardino for a soccer tournament and we came to eat here, we called in advance to see if they would accommodate 20 people and they said yes. When we got there they were setting up tables outside so we can eat all together! Despite being 20 of us they got our drinks and food out in a timely manner. We were all very satisfied with the meals we chose. Not only were they super accommodating they also gave us free appetizers!“
“The girls can be more greeting when u walk in instead of stuck up the guys are always nice when they work the front the girls today really act like they don't want to be their or their better then you ..also I got mozzarella sticks asked if I can trade my sauce for ranch she said no really I always gone their. For being owned by someone high up you think their workers they pick would be allot better at least all the girls. Maybe their related and feel like they don't have to worrie about losing a job because their privileges..but maybe next time I go in will be a better experience...hopefully because they have good food .“
“***Updated review***Been here a few times to watch the football games and they do have a very small simple breakfast menu which I like and for me after 1/2 time a nice beer on tap. The service I received was awesome and definitely will return especially for the 10am games.Went here with friends to watch the Green Bay Packers & This place deserves 5 stars for their great service and lots of TVs to watch your favorite teams. Their food and drinks menu is very reasonably priced and even have a good breakfast burrito !GO PACK GO !!“
“Their beans are the best anywhere. I had the relleno burrito which is also stuffed with the most sumptuous juicy and flavorful pork I have ever eaten. The staff was very quick and very friendly. There is nothing about the place not to love. I rated the atmosphere as a 5 mostly due to the fact it reminded me of many places I ate in Mexico.“
“We bought carne asada tacos, very delicious. The sauces are very rich and they give you additional roasted chives and chili. The horchata very rich.First class attention. On Tuesdays they sell roast beef tacos for 1.50We will be back very often to buy because we loved the food and the service.“
“Wound up here by accident and happy that we did. The food was fresh and came out fast. The ingredients were made in house and the margaritas were YUMMY! The staff checked on us and the restaurant was clean! We’ll come back on our next trip to Lake Arrowhead!“
“For a small Mexican food spot. Its pretty good, as in everything the prices are going up but its well worth it to eat here. Enjoy.Parking: Parking in front and on side of taco joes also a lower parking lot with a long wheelchair accessible rampKid-friendliness: High chairs, kids menu, my 6yr old daughter enjoys this placeWheelchair accessibility: Ramp in the front of the building and ramp from lower parking lot aswell“
“Customer service is A1 - not a single worker will walk passed you without making sure you're good or if you need something else Food is delicious! So filling and well prepared I had the wet burrito with green sauce ? The overall ambiance is super chill - came here on Sunday to watch the 49ers game. Pretty much all NFL games were playing. A special shout-out to Jasmine and Bella for taking great care of us.Bang Bang.“
“Love this albertos, it's my go to for my lunch break during the week, a simple bean and cheese holds me over with 4 of their salsa Verde. The lady who works the ordering system remembers me everytime I come through. 10/10 would recommend.“
“Pretty average place. Nothing noteworthy or standout just an average Mexican restaurant. The only thing that I can say is that they close very late. I don't know what their current operating hours are but last time i was there they closed at 2:30am on the “
“We went to Papagayos on Valentine's Day. We both enjoyed our meal. I had the most delicious shredded beef enchiladas I have ever had. My husband had carnitas taco plate and he said they were full of meat and very tasty. Our server did a good job and we enjoyed the atmosphere. We will definitely come back.“
“Today my beautiful wife and I visited Miguel's Jr. in Redlands, CA. We ordered the shredded tacos with rice and beans plate and a couple of tacos and other items on the side. To drink we ordered lemonade and horchata. For a fast food restaurant, the food and service were average or above. I would recommend that in the near future, the restaurant offer their meals with low sodium. Because their food and service were acceptable, I will focus on the cleanliness of the men's restroom, which I used. Out of five stars, I would give it 4. Everything was in order and adequately stocked. However, of the two faucets, the water ran too slowly on one. The facilities were clean but ventilation could have been better and smelling fresh.“
“We order takeout from Cuca's 2-3 times per month. When I went on February 19, Jessica W. was working the front desk. She was super friendly, got my special order exactly correct, and was fast and effiecient. I wish she was there all the time! She will make a great server if that's what she wants to be.The food is great at Cuca's, but recently has been inconsistent, especially in portion size. Once in February my enchilada had barely any sauce and dinky portions of rice and beans, while my wife's taquitos had a very small portion of guacamole and again, tiny portions of rice and beans. Normally I can get two meals out of my order, but this time barely got one satisfying meal.“
“Probably the best mariscos place for miles. Very clean restaurant, good food. Started out with the chips and salsa. Salsa is very tasty but you are warned it is spicy. I then had the filet in garlic sauce. "Filete al mojo de ajo" definitly a 8.5 out of 10 for the garlic lovers.Not a cheap place but solid good food!!!“
“Came here on a recommendation from a family member. Here is what we ordered:3 tacos de tripa- $3 each2 tacos de asada- $3 eachCarne asada fries- $12+ $2 credit card chargeAsada was alright. The tripa was perfect for me because it was more on the crispy side rather than chewy. The asada fries were very basic (nacho cheese, onion, cilantro and salsa), I would have wished to have some sour cream and pico de galló but for that price I guess this is decent. Unfortunately, for us, the fries were over salty (still editable) but not our preference.The salsas- you have 3 options. The green ones are mild and the red one was a tad bit spicy. We ordered 5 tacos and only got a tiny container of each salsa. I am a saucy person so I used up one container on a single taco.Personally, this is not a place we would openly recommended but we would say to give it a try if you are in the area. They have some interested item on the menu like birria pizza, and birria ramen.“
“My favorite spot in Redlands for asada fries and a Michelada. They hook the fries up with all the sauces and fixings. The cashier is very friendly and made this Michelada with love. I've been here plenty of times the food is always great. The ceviche and tacos are also something I've enjoyed here. Menudo doesn't come with hominy for some reason and isn't one of my favorite items but that's the only negative thing I can say.“
“Great food for a spot in the gas station. Only concern is the website says closes at 9p, but the lady says they close at 8p for orders...little confusing as she said they have to stop cooking at 8p so they can close by 9p. I would recommend changing the time as that is misleading to those that may want a meal coming in after 8p.“

“I just had this restaurant cater my party this past weekend. I can't say enough about what an AMAZING job they did with my order! The employees were extremely polite and very helpful. The food was so delicious! My guests kept raving about the quality of the food and they are making it a point to go and visit this restaurant in the future. They did a wonderful job in packaging the items to keep all food items warm. The food made my party a true success and I will definitely be using them again. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!“
“Clean (Restaurant/Meat Market)and had everything I needed hamburger cook out.The ground beef was excellent, the same crowd of people and same recipe, the only difference was the ground beef.. everyone complemented on the quality and juiciness of the meat.The Chorizo seco is also better quality and better tasting than other local carnicerías.Good Service.Good Prices.Clean.Quality meats, poultry and pork.Can’t give it five stars only because I haven’t tried their seafood or restaurant.“
“After a long day at the Yaamava Casino, the delicious lunch we enjoyed at this little family owned restaurant really HIT THE SPOT! We had Carnitas and Asada Nachos, Carnitas Wet Burrito and aguas frescas (Horchata and Jamaica) EVERYTHING was authentic! Servings are generous, too. The red salsa was so good I asked for some to take home with our leftovers! The customer service was warm and welcoming. We felt like family! We will definitely be back when we head to the casino again! It will be our SPOT!“
“okay , hear me out. i got some pupusas yesterday, they were pretty good. one of the best i’ve had (in san bernardino..so far) & they have a deal on the pupusas on thursdays. i paid less than 15 for 8 pupusas. now here is the only thing i noticed , they have a little kid as the cashier. he looks to be around 10-12 maybe . & that’s so cool that he’s helping his family, however , since he’s a child. he doesn’t really have that customer service. which i don’t blame him for. he’s a child. he should be doing his homework or watching movies while settling down & getting ready for bed. again, im not hating on them. i understand that family helps out family, because my family is family over everything as well. all i’m saying is, i feel bad for the kid. other than that, this place seems great. i will possibly be returning(specially on thursday’s ?)“
“My gf & I had dinner there today. I've never been there but she has & recommended I try the micheladas. We both ordered Quesabirria tacos, with consome. (Birria juice). Super delicious ! Unlike other places where the consome is greasy, not st all! The prices arent nad either. I will be going back for sure!“
“Such a good spot- The vibe was immaculate and it was the perfect spot to take a break and recharge after a long day. The pozole was absolutely delicious and the desert was just fantastic (I would drive all the way back just for the churros!) and our waitress was amazing- so friendly and helpful! Definitely a 10/10 spot ?“
