50 Best Mexican Restaurants in San Bernardino

“Chicken Garbage Burrito!!“

“Very delicious. The best fish tacos in all of the inland empire. Before this, I thought Señor Baja was the best, but these just blow it out the water. The shrimp tacos have gotta be one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted in my life. There’s also the hardshell shrimp tacos that are unique, and I have never tasted anything like it before. The sauce they give you with it, which has like soy sauce, or something on it, I don’t know some black sauce, is incredibly delicious. Straight up, I’m questionably the best fish/shrimp tacos I’ve ever eaten in my life.“

“Absolutely DELICIOUS! Why am I just now discovering this delicious spot? OMG! We were on our way to the Mattel Toy Store and drove by it. My daughter looked it up and saw the wonderful reviews. So, on the way back from our shopping trip, we stopped! Omg! I will definitely become a regular customer! The restaurant is extremely clean and so is the kitchen! The cooks wear gloves!!!!!! My goal is to try everything on the menu! YUMMY!!!!!“

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

“everything 😋👌💯 is delicious“

“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“

“Great meal - great find on Route 66“

“First time coming here. They have regular size hand-made tortilla tacos for $3. Where else will you find this??? NOWHERE!!! Also, hand-made corn and wheat tortillas for sale. They have chicharrones, carnitas, asada plates, and beans and tortillas. The carnitas were good, the chicharron en chile verde was good too. Definely, I will come back to try the tamales.“

“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 ❤️“

“me encantaria disfrutar una birria“

“Fantastic food. Can't speak highly enough of what I have to assume is a family run business. Don't let the look of the surrounding businesses and potential loiters deter you from indulging. Brought my wife and daughter in for a sit-down lunch just today. One patron even brought my daughter a plate to use. Love this place!!!“

“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 updated interior is really nice. We just popped in for a quick drink. We enjoyed some chips & salsa, it was fresh and tasty. The margarita was top-notch, garnished nicely. Perfect taste, not too strong, just the right amount of mix.
Staff is impeccably dressed and very professional. They are attentive without being intrusive, yet they are still friendly. Overall, a nice place close to home that I will definitely visit in the future.“

“Best sopes I have ever had, except mom's of course, their hot sauce it's so good and the tacos are absolutely delightful, the enchiladas are also very good basically no matter what you order you will always leave with a full belly and a smile on your face.“

“Tacos are amazing 🌮🔥 especially the asada and chicken tacos 🌮 my parents had the Tripa and Cabeza and mentioned they were good too 👍🏻

The red salsa and tomato salsa for the chips was very spicy with great flavor 🌶️🔥“

“Just luv it and Our server Maria“

“Carne asada y queso enchilada are my favs. They care about the presentation of their plates, considering the serving size and the heavenly bites this restaurant is easily within my top 3. Looks very clean and nice atmosphere the second you walk in. That's a successful business right there 👍“

“Best mariscos restaurant I've ever tried! You can truly taste the love and care that goes into every dish. Everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The pastries were also delicious—my favorite was the flan!
The service was outstanding as well. The owner was so attentive, welcoming, and friendly with every customer, making the whole experience even more special. The ladies in the kitchen definitely know what they're doing—their seasoning is absolutely amazing.
I drive all the way from El Monte just to eat here, and it's worth every mile. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves seafood and authentic Nayarit-style cuisine. You won't be disappointed!“

“This place is absolutely wonderful. They even have little patio area full of plants and a peaceful atmosphere where you can also relax with the cats that this restaurant takes care of from the streets. Kitties are clean and bellies full! The food here and the people are amazing food is always fresh too- MUST TRY THEIR CARNE ASADA FRIES beat around town.“

“Always fresh food and the ladies that work here are really nice. They have your favorites: tacos, enchiladas, tamales, sopes, nachos, etc. Parking in front can get a little packed but there’s additional parking behind the building.“

“Amazing. Great meat. Great sauce. Friendly staff. It's a perfect little place tucked in the residential area, and is an excellent choice for picking up lunch or dinner. I'm so glad to find a great Mexican food place so close to home.“

“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 ❤️“

“bomb place in sb for sure“

“Oh my god i’m from upstate NY and tried a Carne Asada burrito for the first time at the San Bernardino Alberto’s. Oh. My. God. By far the best mexican I have had since my time in California, please try this while you can“

“Best experience ever I highly recommend tacos Tigre they have excellent food and super friendly attitude I hade the quesabirrias they where great and also highly recommend there fresh Agua de limon with pepino super delicious. Since I’m a Truck driver I walked all the way from a cooler C.H. Robinson fresh to tocos Tigre and he gave me a ride back to my truck with no extra cost his excellent person. I’ll definitely come back.“

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

“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!“

“Went on a Wednesday afternoon to get a burrito and carne asada fries with Cheetos. Cashier was super nice soon as we walked in and helped us out order since it was our first time. They had complimentary chips and condiments super good 🔥. Fries looked and tasted bomb! Burrito was bomb too the meat was so flavorful their aguas frescas tasted so good not to sweet just the right amount. You forsure need to visit this place and try their menu the have a wide variety definitely going back!“

“I bought an order of agua chiles, and they were really good. The problem was the portion size. I paid $28 and the container was maybe 60% full. The staff was really friendly, and the place was very clean, but portion size did not justify the price.

Update: I returned to this restaurant and they made it right, like I said, the staff is really friendly and the food was delicious. Changing to 5 stars“

“Burritos are a must . I really don’t understand what other people are saying with the salsas because they give me heaps of sauce maybe they other people just want to drink the salsa because that’s how good it is . Overall the service is amazing regardless the communication barrier the workers always takes care of me . Btw I purposely order the shrimp burrito and yes they actually take their time to perfect and cook your order to its finest .“

“then best little hole in the wall for multiple food choices come try our delicious pizza look us up on IG AND FB“

“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 💰💰🤑“

“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!“

“I’m not from California and I came into town for work and decided to stop and eat here and I’m glad I did! Their agua de Jamaica was so refreshing! I finished it before my food came out. My favorite part of the torta I ordered was how crispy and warm the bread was. Muchas gracias!“

“Molcajetes are the best..“

“DUDEEEEEE THIS PLACE IS DOPE . ITS NOT A FULL RESTAURANT.. ITS A MARKET THE KITCHEN ITS INSIDE.. NO SEATS MY FRIEND ORDERED A MEXICAN PIZZAAAA JAJAJJAA YEAH.. BIRRIA.. ASADA PIZZA 🍕 BROO
I LOVE THIS PLACE .. I LL BACK DEFINITELY 😁👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“This is only for the food I bought on 06-25-26..I order 3 of the special brakefast burritos 5.99 or 6.99 can't remember which price it was...all same bacon. First time there, have no idea of the rest of their food, I used their drive thru
Flavor was good, size was even better, but as far as the protien/meat quantity, I really believe it was 1 or 2 lbs of potatoes and 1 strip of bacon and one egg, 1 table spoon of cheese if there is any....no wonder the size is BIGGGGG like my ex wife...all freaking potatoes...and for this reason I will not be going back“

“guacnes delengua ecnos por María“

“I eat ell polo chicken fom time to time . I love the foods . and I love fresh chicken . two days ago I eat taco salad . that is yummy , and today I eat my lunch . I order shredded chicken nacho . I enjoy my meal .“

“THIS IS THE BEST RESTURANT EVER“

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

“Although the market, it does not have the inventory of a grocery store but rather a market, has really basically turned into a market that carries a lot of Latino foods, they have a decent produce area. They have a butcher and their meat selection is okay. If you are in the mood and want Mexican food that is fresh and hot, visit the cocina. I especially like that they make tortillas fresh on site. I never buy pre-packaged tortillas any more. I rate them a four because of the lack of more varieties of certain foods and at times the cashiers can be rather rude. I've noted that the attitude is aimed at their non Latino customers.“

“We went for my birthday. It was very nice experience. Everyone was very friendly. The only downside was most of the music was in Spanish, but they had television screens that also showed the music in Spanish. At least one of those screens in my opinion should have had the words in English so we could follow along, but the atmosphere was nice. The music was nice. That would be my only downside.“

“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.
