    Pollo Fresco
    Rick P.

    The Pollo Fresco was delicious -- tender marinated chicken topped with bright mango salsa and drizzled in flavorful tomatillo and relleno sauces. The sides of Mexican rice, fresh spinach, asparagus, and roasted veggies made the whole meal feel clean, colorful, and satisfying. Stephanie H. provided wonderful service, my ice tea was always full, warm and attentive, making the meal even better.

    My dad and I stopped in after a trip to San Manuel Casino, a.k.a. Yaamava. We had the best experience ever. They were playing our jams on the overhead music. Jorge is the best waiter ever he is so sweet and polite. The food was fantastic. My father got a cheeseburger and fries and I got the fajitas with steak and shrimp. My dad also got the Cadillac margarita and I got a piña colada and they were both absolutely delicious.

Service is friendly as ever. But at the menu prices I really feel like I'm paying for the view instead of the food itself. Notably, $13 for ice cream nachos. This is what we came for. This time the serving was 4 measly chips with a half scoop of ice cream and what seemed like the dying breath of a whipped cream can. Oh and the chips themselves that I remembered as crispy and airy were stale and rubbery. It was heart wrenching tbh. Oh and me and my boyfriend are currently playing rock paper scissors for the bathroom so there's that. Please get it together, we really wanna come back!

This San…read moreBernardino staple has been around since 1937, and the little bit of history behind their crispy tacos is pretty cool. Glen Bell, before Taco Bell was even a thing, had his burger stand right across the street and became a regular at Mitla. He ended up learning how they made their tacos, and the rest is history. Now let's talk about why I came. Those crispy tacos are SO good. That crunch, the seasoned meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato... everything just works. And I can never pass up a Carta Blanca . They also give you that little complimentary bowl of chile con carne, and let me tell you, that chile was delicious! The service was great, everyone was friendly, and the whole place just has a really good vibe. You can feel that old-school San Bernardino charm as soon as you walk in. Definitely one of those spots that makes you want to sit back, enjoy your food and take in the experience.

The salsa and warm chips were a wonderful start to the meal while we waited to place our order. I had combination #2 to try the hard shell taco (reportedly the inspiration for Taco Bell's), the chicken enchilada, and tamale. This was a delicious plate that brought a smile to my face and the horchata was also excellent. Service was a bit slow (very busy), but extremely friendly. If you're cruising Route 66 or out this way for any reason, give Mitla's a try! Pro tip: if you can't find street parking, they have a lot on the street by their south side.
