Red snapper

Fantastic mariscos. A wide variety on the menu, many I've haven't seen before. My favorite is huachinango frita (red snapper). A warm and inviting place with reasonable prices and great service. Mariscos fantásticos. Gran variedad en el menú, muchos de los cuales no había visto antes. Mi favorito es el huachinango frita (huachinango rojo). Un lugar cálido y acogedor con precios razonables y un servicio excelente.

Plain Shreded beef burrito no sauce.
Gilbert M.

If you are looking for that "Hole in the wall" Mexican food, you have to try this place. Their claim to fame is Mariscos (Sea food) but even their shreade beef is bountiful. Our burritos were stiffed with meat! None of that "More tortilla than meat" jazz here. Anna the server was delightful and ready to help.

Tostada de camarón

I use to come here when I was very young 15 years old to be exact. Now I'm 46 I decided to come back as we were visiting from AZ. Goodness, food is still delicious. The servers were really nice too. The music is on point. Overall it was really good to come back. Thank you! Definitely recommend this place.

Aquachiles (not spicy) flavor okay.
Miranda C.

Over priced , I was disappointed , Service fast , Food tasted ok , for its price I thought it would taste better

This soup gooooooes
Dee J.

It's the soup for me. The burrito was also top tier. Chicken was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Will be back to try the mariscos.

Tostada de Ceviche (Camarón Cocido)
Irene G.

Recently discovered this restaurant about a month ago. I first time we went it was around 9pm for a late dinner.For their appetizers they bring chips and salsa, their signature soup and fried fish with onion. I ordered the ceviche with cooked shrimp.Very spicy!! Very delicious !! They also offer the shrimp cooked in lemon.

Really good michelada

Average Mexican food place, nothing special about it. Lacked seasoning. Weird cheese in the bacon wrapped shrimp. Rio Ranch's mojarras have more flavor. Asada in the burrito was good but no salsa/Chile inside.

a platter of fresh oysters

Came to celebrate my moms bday. Ordered tacos, oysters, and a cocktail. The waitress made a mistake with our oysters and brought us some cooked one with melted cheese instead of basic raw oysters. I told her we would like them switched. She just blankly stared haha she then said we can't take them back. I asked to speak to her manager and they were trying to justify the mistake. Finally they took the cooked oysters and brought us some tiny small baby oysters. The size was laughable!

Molcajete - has chicken, carne asada, bacon wrapped shrimp,  chorizo, fried nopales, fried queso fresco. SOoO GOOD
Rosey R.

This place was introduced to me by my father who is a picky eater. He gets the tostadas which are an amazing mound of shrimp topped with avocado. The molcajete is amazing. While you wait for your food they bring you a soup and some chicharones marinated in lemon and salt. You have to come here. It's the best new spot for us when we come visit.

Omg!!!! After reading this reviews that it's so good I went today and omg!!! Everything was so salty!!!! I went in with 3 friends and only gave us 2 forks! As u can see I'm showing u what a $14.95 place gets u almost nothing! Bad service food is awful so salty and the meat or shrimp looks like it's been there a while!! People stop reviewing places with good stars if they suck! And the restrooms oh my gah!!!! Pigs!!!! And then they have the auducity of not wanting to give u the receipt??? Yuck I paid and got out waste of money!

"LARGE" cocktail $16

Been coming here for years but their cocktails keep getting smaller and don't taste the same - you can taste the tap water they use to make it - if you want a great Shrimp and Octopus cocktail go to Sumabi! The food here is mediocre

Amazing food try the fried California roll it's amazing !!!!!…read moreStaff was extremely helpful and nice But what was amazing is a poor homeless person was walking by and the waiter went out and gave the poor man a cup of water That is thoughtful and caring for our homeless vets. A++++ Anyone who cares for the homeless deserves praise and respect

We arrived on a Saturday around 12 PM, and I was really excited to try this place out again. I…read moreordered a Mimosa flight, only to find out they were already out of champagne ... by noon on a Saturday?! Who runs out of champagne that early? I ended up ordering a hibiscus margarita instead, and honestly, it was amazing. I also ordered the green chicken enchiladas, which were super yummy, filling, and probably my favorite part of the meal. I ordered a second hibiscus margarita, same as the first, but it came on the rocks instead of blended like I had originally requested. We were there for about two hours just enjoying good conversation, food, and drinks, so overall we were having a nice time. Unfortunately, things got frustrating when the checks came. Our waitress didn't seem to know how to split the bill based on who ordered what, which I found odd since we had the same waitress the entire time. We explained how we wanted everything split, and she still got it wrong. In the end, my friend and I had to sit there and figure out all the math ourselves. Then, while we were gathering our things and getting ready to leave, the waitress kept walking around us and looking over at us. It honestly made us feel like we were being watched. When I pulled out cash to leave a tip, she continued looking at the money, almost as if she was watching to see how much I was going to leave. After already paying, it was just really uncomfortable and awkward. I probably wouldn't have left a tip at all based on the service, but I'm not that cold, so I did leave one. Unfortunately, I honestly don't feel like the service earned it. The food and margarita were good, but the service issues definitely put a damper on the experience. And seriously... who runs out of champagne by noon?!

Mitla Cafe is one of those places you have to experience if you're from the IE. 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.

I get it's a staple here in SB , but I went with my daughter who's almost 3 got a grilled cheese…read morewith fries, come to find out the fires tasted like they'd been cooked in pork lard , which obviously a 3 year old isn't going to like just wish they put it on the menu like a heads up when we initially got there is saw all the other tables around us get chips and salsa but we didn't get offered any , I thought it was a extra charge and maybe people payed turns out nope theyre free, we did get them offered, as we waited for our change AFTER we paid. Sadly I don't recommend or will be back. Unpleasant experience.

We were traveling and looking for a place nearby to eat. We found this spot by the SBD airport…read more The carne asada tacos, torta and birria was super good! I was eyeballing the grilled cheese sandwich (not what it's really called), but went with the classic tacos. The service was also fantastic really appreciated the gentleman who engaged with us. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

After today's experience, I'll never be back. It's unfortunate, because I've been to this place…read moremany times, and their food is very good. Although their prices are high, $16 for a torta, it's usually worth it, because their portions are quite generous. Earlier today, I ordered a torta to go, and I ended up extremely disappointed when I got home. It had literally half the meat, half the beans, and half the cheese that it normally does. This was the first time I'd been disappointed with their food, but I decided to call and express my dissatisfaction. I was passed to the manager who handled the situation in the most unprofessional way. I explained the issue to him, and he insisted that my torta today had the same amount of meat, beans, and cheese as always. I disagreed with him, and he responded angrily, "Everybody makes mistakes!" He raised his voice and repeated it a couple of times. It was completely bizarre that he chose to speak to me as if I was the one who'd done something wrong. It's very childish to do a subpar job and then get upset and frustrated when you're called on it. An adult apologizes and pledges to not blow it again. Anyhow, I don't tolerate disrespectful people so I'm done. I won't spend another penny there.
