Straightforward spot with a diner vibe offering traditional Mexican plates with cocktails & beer.
I got the chicken fajitas. A little on the dry side for the chicken, but still good. My husband got the molcajete. It's for two... and it's HUGE! Loo the pictures don't do it justice. It is big! Definitely a meal to share. We both went home with a lot of leftovers. The service was great as well.

This restaurant has excellent food, service, and prices. The view to the lake is beautiful, also plenty of parking space. This is definitely a good place and is located close to downtown.

It depends on people's experiences and opinions but my experience is this... Good food best Mexican 🌮 🌯 restaurant. Great martinis 🍷 love the bean and cheese burrito and there street Tacos 😋. The only thing is they need happy smiling service some could be grumpy, some can be local, nice, but it depends on there mood and that's okay 😆❤️. But overall it's a nice place to eat, enjoy with family and friends if you want Mexican food. I love the patio outside sitting and enjoying the sunset and view. Oh it may be a little expensive 🫰 but your getting a good quality food. Enjoy 😍!

The food was excellent with the exception of the Albondiga soup, which was just ok. The chips came out hot and fresh, the guacamole was a huge serving and very tasty. The molcajete is pricy however, it's a big portion because two of my friends weren't able to finish it. The service was also excellent they check on us about every 10 minutes or less and they were all very friendly. I will definitely be back.

Este es un buen lugar de comida mexicana, probé el pozole, el Guacamole y el chocolate caliente, todo muy rico. Lo único es que pedí salsa picante para mí pozole y me dieron salsa tipo Tabasco, estaría super algo más tradicional y simple como la de solo agua sal y chile de arbol, que no cambia el sabor del pozole. Pero es algo insignificante. La verdad es bastante bueno, y las porciones de comida son grandes. Si regresaría.

Clean place but that's all they have going for them. The food is terrible and easy overpriced for the quality. It's the blandest Mexican food I ever had.
If you're used to authentic quality Mexican food please save your money. The service was terrible too. Our server was just chatting with other servers the whole time and couldn't even answer our questions on the menu. I definitely do not recommend!

Went here for the first time and I really liked their menu variety as you can choose from tacos to burgers here. I chose to have chorizo and eggs and I thought they were the best Ive had in a long time. They have a large outside dining area that is very comfy even when they had a lot of people as some places can feel over crowded. Their service was quick, excellent and friendly. Pricing can be a bit high but where is it not anymore.

We had dinner on their patio. They were actively setting up new tables and chairs, which we sat on and found to be comfortable. The patio looks to be shaping up to an ideal location to enjoy the freshly made plates - we had a combo plate with a green enchilada and hard shell beef taco and the steak picado. It was all hot and delightful. The homemade tortillas were good too. The chips and salsa were good as well. Will definitely return.

The wife and I were out scouting campsites in and around Big Bear, California. We were looking for something Mediterranean but couldn't find the restaurant at the top on the hill. We did find Laguna Grill by the BB Lake. We shared a chicken taco trio with beans from their lunch menu and shrimp Aguachile, a refreshing cold shrimp cocktail. But not the red shrimp cocktail you might be familiar with (raw shrimp smothered in green Chile lime juice, sliced cucumber, purple onion slices, avocado, and some pico de gallo. The acid in the lime juice turns the shrimp a nice white color. Essentially the juice cooks the shrimp). It bowl was large enough to share.

Horrible service since we entered, we were a big group and so obviously we wanted to split the checks, a rude waitress rolled her eyes at us because she didn’t want to split it just so they can charge the tip all at once, ignored us & walked away. She later send another waitress because she was too shy to come back . Normally we’re good tippers anyways but forcing people to tip a certain amount is not courteous. They also had a camera facing our table which made us feel uncomfortable. Nasty food too, Never going back again.

This used to be our favorite restaurant, going 2-3 times a week. Today we visited and I ordered the Fish Tacos, requesting Flour instead of Corn tortillas. The waitress replied there would be an “Upcharge”, stating Flour is more expensive than Corn tortillas.
Between my wife’s order and mine it would have been close to a $40 meal, not counting tax and tip. We normally spend $20 - $30 on every visit.
I requested to speak to the Manager and a young female Hispanic approach, stating the waitress was correct. We got up and left as it’s ridiculous to charge more for a change in tortillas.
I guess business must be good, loosing repeat “Local” customers over the cost of a couple of
Tortillas.

Worst chilaquiles I've had in my life. Tortilla chips super soggy
The red sauce for the chilaquiles is very unsatisfactory taste wise. Green sauce was just the green sauce can poured into it little sour. Overpriced as well. Food is disgusting! Michelada was good but that's it.

This is our second time coming. It was good the last time so we came back! The chips and salsa are great. The chips come out hot and the salsa has great flavor.
I ordered two chicken tacos. They were good but a bit too salty. They only come with pico de gallo, so if you want anything else on it, that’s extra. It would be better if they just came with a few other ingredients, like lettuce & sour cream. The amount of chicken is a good portion though.
My husband ordered the chicken fajitas and he said the chicken had good flavor. The portion size is great.
The restaurant is clean, even the bathrooms are clean! We will be back the next time we are in town.

This was some of the best Mexican food we've had, we did show up 30 minutes before close and the staff was super nice and understanding. The chicken enchiladas were some of the best I've had, only complaint was it needed a little salt, the salsa was better than 98% of the Mexican restaurants I've been to, the chile relleno was better than any I've ever had. Would definitely recommend eating here and next time I'm in big bear this is going to be a permanent stop!

Table side Guac is made in the back... assuming it has to do with Covid. But it was good
Shrimp Cocktail was good. I didn't care for the ketchup on the avocado garnish, hot sauce would've been better or nothing. I did enjoy the cucumber, nice & refreshing!
The service was good! They had more than enough floor staff to ensure your needs are met quickly.
Cadillac Margaritas were good, tasted like fresh lime juice which is sometimes hard to find.
