50 Best Mexican Restaurants in San Bernardino

“Hello, there, fellow eaters.
I would like to personally recommend bahaking fish taco. To anybody who's interested and enjoying great food.
My wife and I enjoyed it for the first time today.
Welcome to the i.e. Baja. Kingfish, taco, thank you for your service. Excellent work.“

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

“Great food for a great price! The only bad parts is the staff seems like they have attitudes or stressed because its busy at times. Lines get pretty long and it has limited indoor seating. Plenty of outdoor seating. Bathroom is old and could use some updating and seems dirty. But if your looking for a old hole in the wall type place with great food this is your place. We were told this place has been here since the 70's. I am not downing this place at all it just is what it is. My family and I love this place and visit at least once a week and we live 40 minutes away so it's worth the drive. Our favorites are the ground beef tacos.

Parking: Its a small parking lot and can get packed durring busy times but we have always found a spot.“

“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“

“Every time my family has come to this place they always go above and beyond. They are very great with customer service nice in the food is amazing.. today my mother and I visited had a great time and great service by Alex our waiter thank you!!!

It’s also really beautiful in here the ambience, the music, the lights !“

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

“Went to order some food the other day and the cashier Johnny was so helpful and so professional he was just a pleasure to talk“

“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.“

“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.“

“excelente. servicio. personal muy amable establecimiento muy limpio“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“Great meal - great find on Route 66“

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

“Just luv it and Our server Maria“

“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“

“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.“

“Great times at El Torito in San Bernardino“

“All the employees are super awesome. Customer service is amazing very clean very family friendly.

Parking: Parking is good here.

Kid-friendliness: my kids loved all the food. Everything was very delicious.“

“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!“

“First time here with coworkers at lunch time. They're packed.

Food is very tasty with good portions. My wet burrito is so yummy. Carne Asada is cooked perfectly with yummy sauce.Price is surprisedly decent.

Highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood.“

“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 👌“

“The food and service were good. Their nachos are good as well.“

“Has Apple maps or Google Maps ever steered you wrong? Ok, maybe but if it steered you to a Mexican restaurant that looms like an old Thai restaurant, you are here!!

The margaritas were top 5 ever and the appetizer, queso fundito…so good I didn’t even get to get a picture before it was devoured. Totally forgot as we savored the pickled onions and carrots, cheese, and chorizo.

All food was delicious and were able to sit and slow eat all our food. At lunch, its rowdy with “business lunches” hopped up on tequila! Loved the atmosphere and music playing to set a good mood to smooz with the lady.“

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

“We don’t cook with oil at home, I had chose the power bowl because it looked maybe the freshest / most veggie forward rather than burgers. Was worried salads might be too small. When I finished my meal there was about a tablespoon of oil leftover on my plate, definitely didn’t need it, the flavour was great without. Felt not great after eating so much oil.😒 Staff was super nice though, we had asked if we could do a bit of remote work for a few hours and they were very gracious letting us work there, and refilling our water. We ordered some baked goods and they were both really incredible.“

“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.“

“Been coming here since they were still a meat market when I was a kid. Every ingredient is high quality. The meat first of all. Vegetables, tortillas...

They have really good Tortas. Now that they are a restaurant they serve some Mariscos... tried the Mojarra... the Mojarras are good... had their hard shell tacos for the first time (can't believe I went so long without them) they are authentic mexican hard shell tacos they use crema and cotija cheese...“

“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.

“I had been hearing about Hungry Bear Tacos and how good they are for a while so I finally decided to stop by and give them a try. These tacos are hands down delicious. At $2 each for a Taco with homemade tortillas, and meat that's grilled over charcoal with some guacamole on top is a killer deal. These tacos were juicy with lots of flavors. I had chicken, asada and pastor. My favorite was the asada. The pastor was also good but I felt it could have used a little bit of the marinade. I will be back soon to try all the other meats.“

“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..“

“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 ❤️“

“The only place I get asada burritos now. Literally. Not figuratively. I literally stopped ordering them anywhere else. The carne asada itself is bomb, very flavorful. They pit onion and cilantro in, which makes it perfect in my opinion. They also put beans in and I've heard nothing but good reviews, but I prefer without just because. They have really good salsa amd that plus a squeeze of lime will literally make these things the best asada burrito you have ever had. Not to mention they cranked put 10 burritos in only 20 minutes one time for a large order for me. Not the cheapest, like 12 bucks a pop, but like 2 pounds of the best burrito in southern california. Next time I'll get a picture. If I can slow down long enough to get my phone.

Parking: South side of the road, a little shopping area with like 8 stores in a row. A bunch of parking in front of them all in a nice little lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking spots available“

“No complaints about this place. They cook their burrito tortillas right before making your burrito. So good! The carnitas was yummy! Not too great it oily. They fresh make chips and they're amazing! The men who helped us were very nice and patient while we decided what to get. Reasonable pricing considering how expensive everything has become.“

“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!“

“Been here a couple times before this and the staff is already really nice. The prices are fantastic and the food is great. Feel like thay actually care about the restaurant.

I forgot to take a picture till after I mixed everything around but there is a bunch of cheese, guac, sour cream and some lettuce. And it's actually chilled lettuce too so it's really refreshing. The taquitos stayed crunchy for a hella long time but they where still the perfect crispness , not hard tho ! BOMB!

Parking: Drive thru!

Wheelchair accessibility: Seems they have a ramp for dine in“

“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!“

“Love this place, delicious food and great service!!!!“

“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 💰💰🤑“

“bomb place in sb for sure“

“We get food here a lot. I wanted carne asada fries. They are the best at this place. So much steak. I always order the full order. It's enough to share with someone else, or for three meals for me. Today I shared with my daughter. I ask for the fries to be cooked extra. This time I ordered fish tacos for my husband. He likes them here better than at other fast food places.

Dietary restrictions: Mexican places are great for gluten-free. Skip the food tortillas and sopes, etc.

Parking: Nice place to dine in. Free refills on soda. Very clean.

Kid-friendliness: Our granddaughters loved eating here, a while back.“

“Carne asada tacos were on point and so the pollo/chicken I ordered the slushy drinks one mango and strawberry omg they were fire I enjoy myself out my sister and cousins it was time well had and I had to plan another party here or just go for happy house I would do it here.“

“Desde la primera vez que vine a LOS ARCOS mi experiencia fue de la mejor. Los invito a que apoyen a este magnífico lugar. Hay comida deliciosa mis comidas favorita son los tacos de carne asada y los molcajetes con una mojarra arriba. Me gusta cantar, bailar y convivir con todo tipo de damas y caballeros. Las meseras y los dueños son excelentes personas.“
