Took my sister in Christ here for bday dinner last night We were greeted by the husband whose joy is contagious, and his wife made us the best chocolate shakes! This particular visit she came and said goodbye before ...

We really enjoyed our meal, the food was delicious, we ordered shrimp tacos and chicken fajitas. The service was really good they were friendly and even took time to greet us and asked about our stay at lake arrowhead.

Great Mexican restaurant. It was truly the food that would drive me back. The service was fast and efficient. However, the food was delicious. I lived in Mexicali, and their food brought me back to a family restaurant where everyone would sing. I have never been able to carry a tune. But the food was worth me making a fool at of myself. This restaurants food was very close to that hole in the wall restaurant in Mexicali, and I still can't match a pitch or carry a tune! If you want good Mexican food on the mountain, go here.

Restaurant recently opened and we have eaten here 5 times. So far food has been great. Chips are fresh and salsa tasty. We always order the sizzling trio fajitas - usually awesome but today a little dry but still very tasty. Best menudo on the mountain. Service is great. Some workers are new but they are friendly, and really try to be attentive to customers. If they keep up the great food and services, this restaurant will be the best Mexican restaurant on the mountain. Definitely recommend Update 10-2023 We usually order the same items Service is still great Food quality not as good Prices up Alcohol outrageously over priced Will go back only occasionally

This is truly a really good place to stop and eat. It has the authenticity of true Mexican food. We eat here on a monthly basis. I would highly recommend checking it out and see for yourself.

The staff was so friendly! The food was excellent. I ordered a shrimp taco and a steak taco and ended up making 4 out of the 2 because there was so much food in them. My husband ordered the Carnitas plate and enjoyed it. We will definitely be back

This family-owned Mexican restaurant is a local gem. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—especially the tacos and homemade guacamole. Their drinks are a highlight, with strong, well-made margaritas and a great selection of cocktails. You can tell they take pride in everything they do, from the service to the food and drinks. It’s a great spot for a casual night out or a laid-back meal with family. Definitely worth a visit!

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!
