I absolutely love this restaurant! It's hands down my favorite spot in Big Bear. The location couldn't be better—it's conveniently next to the village but without all the hustle and bustle. Food is fantastic! From tacos to fajitas to burritos and churros, we loved every dish we tried. I highly recommend the La Bamba burrito—it's incredibly authentic, and the spicy sauce is something special and absolutely amazing!

Visiting and wanted some comfort food. Came and got the chicken taquitos and they were so good. The staff is super friendly and restaurant has a nice atmosphere.

OUTSTANDING! 10's all the way across the board. Cleanliness, location, food (portions and quality, not to mention taste), superb service and great prices. Definitely Big Bear's hidden gem. Slightly hidden just off the main drag and behind the Bowling alley on the corner of Bonanza Trail and Beaver Lane.

Wow. Super fresh food and incredible service! They make a ton of their food in house and clearly put in effort to make you feel at home. Omar and his family hail from Mexico city and have brought some high quality Mexican eats to America. Highly, highly, highly recommend. Good place to charge devices, top up water and alcohol is available.

After a long drive i wanted something good to eat ... most of the restaurants were packed but this hidden place saved me... Food was really good and prices were fair eventhou there are some reviews saying prices are high which is a lie ... Not even a fast food restaurant you spend less than 15 bucks.. My chilaquiles with a beer were worthy my money...

Absolutely loved the food here. The horchata was amazing and so was the cafe de olla. Glad me and my family stopped here to eat and we will be eating here again when we come visit. Forgot to take a picture because I inhaled the wet shrimp burrito I ordered but it was super yummy and very fulfilling
