Dry burrito , didn't even have beans
Sarah O.

I have been here I would say a good handful of times .and I tend to recommend this place to friends . I usually come for their menudo . It's always delicious. Their service usually is pretty bad every time but we suck it up for the menudo lol this time it was super bad. And the food was very mid . We ordered guac and it had litterally no flavor and it was super pale . My burrito was very dry and cold . Chipotle Chilaquiles had a funny taste but we waited sooooo long for our food that we just sucked it up and ate it. With in 20 min of finishing our food my brother got sick ( he ordered the chilaquiles ) . The birria was very delicious. But it was not a serving size of 2-3 people . The guy waiter is nice , the girl one looks like she doesn't want to be there . They charge for every little thing . Even for a 1oz of orange juice to mix with our tequila.

Chorizo and eggs with house potatoes and hand made tortillas

Another great experience at El Rincón! The server is just the friendliest and such a kind helpful person! If I could give him 20 stars I would! The ambience is very friendly love the decor, one of my favorite Mexican restaurants hands-down. Omg talk about the food! I decided to give the carne en su jugo a try and chefs kiss sooo bomb. I will say it could use a little more meat but the flavor is bomb. The mole enchiladas were good as well! I also ordered a mimosa and the fresh squeezed orange juice was the icing on the cake! See you soon El Rincón!

Chipotle chicken omelette. Amazing!!
Tiffany S.

Omg everything was so delicious!! Their papas de casa were the best home potatoes I've ever had. They were so crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And their chipotle chicken omelette was filling and delicious. My husband got the mole & chipotle chilaquiles and he said it was one of the best meals he's ever had!! Our waitress was so friendly and welcoming as well. Definitely stop here for brunch if you're in big bear!!

Machaca breakfast plate

For being a lil Mexican joint up in Big Bear it's pretty good. I got the machaca breakfast plate. The machaca scramble had shredded beef, onions, tomato, and peppers in it. It had really good flavor. Hubby had the chorizo scramble, was solid and not too oily. This place would be a 5 if they fixed their beans. They're not terrible tasting, decent flavor and not bland at all, but farrrr too thin and watery. You can tell in my pic. Refried beans should be thicker i.m.o. But we'd come back!

Soyrizo torta !!
Al M.

Was told about this place from a local that had really good Mexican food, so figured hey, let's give it a shot and see what it's all about .. being from Long Beach and living in Los Angeles. We're all kind of spoiled with some good Mexican food places so while on vacation in Big Bear I figured Hey let's see what this place has to offer. I ordered the Carne Asada chimichanga, which was good but I don't like how they put the salsa on top of the chimichanga which makes it not crispy and also the Carne asada was kind of chewy. It wasn't bad, but it could've been better in my opinion. The Machaca burrito was good loaded with the eggs beef, peppers and onions. Had a very good taste. They do have some vegetarian options and my wife chose the soyrizo torta that she says was really good. we also got the beans and chips appetizer, which I was not a fan of the beans were super watered down and kind of spicy and was not expecting that. In my opinion, the beans needed to be a little thicker. Service was super friendly the people were very helpful, and the restaurant inside was spacious even though I did take my food to go spot for Mexican food in Big Bear. Give it a try see what you think.

Carne En Su Jugo
Dan S.

In short, if you chose not to continue on with reading. A WIN. Delicious. We were looking for a smaller restaurant to support, as we normally do. This was not a disappointing experience. The Carne En Su Jugo was a delicious and luxurious flavored soup. Maybe a simple soup on the outside, but full of flavor. With a side of beans and extra four tortillas, you can't go wrong. The wife had menudo and was full of large pieces of tripe and pieces of hominy. The service was spot on. Not sure if this is a newer opening, but they sure know how to be attentive and make sure you are being taken care of kind of being at mom's house, for anyone that knows how mom spoils you. The region of the food was from Jalisco, and we will be back. Cute spot. Delicious food and great service. Treated you like family here.

raw ,cold , uncooked fries

Service was good but food was disappointing chilaquiles were hard and meet was over cooked and burnt ,hard . My fries were raw ,cold idk how that's possible . Wouldn't come back

Big Bear Burrito, chips & warm beans w/ cotija cheese, & Barry the Bear sitting next to my boy.

We arrived on a Sunday morning around 9:30am and it was empty. We were a little surprised but non the less we sat and looked at the menu. They menu has a lot of options and they all sound really good. I ordered a latte which came out very quickly and it had a cute little design on it. I ordered a breakfast crepe with eggs, bacon and cheese inside. The food did come out fast but the taste is what was disappointing for me. Coffee 2/5 - it lacked flavor and it seemed watered down. I couldn't finish it. Crepe - 3/5. It was decent but nothing I would rave about/ I did enjoy the French music playing in the background and service was good. And eventually other customers did show up.

I'm seriously impressed by this hidden gem! It's a quaint little spot tucked into a strip mall, and…read moreit would be so easy to overlook--so I'm really glad my best friend had been here before and brought us along. Of course, I had to try one of their signature crepes, and it did not disappoint. It definitely had a kick (I was warned!), but the flavor was incredible and totally worth it. Honestly, we were all already talking about coming back to try more--there are so many options to choose from. The staff was also super attentive. When they noticed the spice level might've been a bit intense, they immediately offered to remake it without hesitation, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be back!
