We started with guacamole, chips and salsa. Wifey had a mimosa and I had Lagunitas IPA. Then Wifey had the 3 mini tacos, carne asada, al pastor and carnitas. I had shrimp aqua chile. So good. I thought the presentation on the aqua chile was beautiful. Service was friendly and we were checked on often but for some reason our main meal came out 45 minutes after our appetizers arrived. We weren't in a hurry but still strange that several folks who came in after us had actually finished their meal before we got ours. Oh well. Stuff happens. read more

Came in on the 4th of July to watch the soccer World Cup. It was nice because they didn't try to rush or pressure us to leave. I would skip the carne here and choose the dishes with sauce or fried. Excellent service and food arrived quickly. Will come back again for soccer and dinner. read more

After trying to go to a Mexican restaurant in the village and finding it closed for renovation, we headed here as a margarita flight was on our mind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very peaceful for a Tuesday and we had the whole place to ourselves most of our stay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the enclosed patio, which kept us nice and warm with heaters and gave us a nice view of the marina.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Too bad there's a building right next to the patio or you have a great view of the lake...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed our chicken enchiladas with rice and beans, fairly standard items, but were very satisfying. Service was very attentive and helpful and they made sure we were taken care of, nice! I thoroughly enjoyed my large beer and some taste tests of the different margaritas. It was really nice to have a variety and that encouraged us to try a second flight, lol! Nice place and would not hesitate to come back. read more

Came here on a Saturday night, not really the best Mexican food. A lot of the food tasted old and frozen. No flavor in the food and no seasonings. Servers were ok but they sat us outside under a heater but the heater was pointing away from us so we didint feel it at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside is also next to a creek so there are a lot of mosquitoes outside and we got bit up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would not come back read more

What a nice little joint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really pretty view of the lake and a nice semi covered outdoor beautiful wooden patio with large TV for sports viewing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I started with the margarita flight which had mango, lime, blue and pomegranate, and they were all delicious. The mango had a nice spicy rim on it and tasted just like mango. The pomegranate tasted just like pomegranate and had a nice spicy rim as well. The lime tasted just like your Ordinary margarita but still good. The blue had to be my favorite because of the decadent rock, blue sugar rim on it. And it's so pretty to look at. Looks like the Caribbean ocean. My waitress brought me out some warm chips that were sturdy and tasty with some nice medium heat salsa. Then I ordered the taco salad which had a beautiful flaky shell that was almost like a Napoleon dessert without the sweets. Inside was some lovely seasoned shredded chicken a bottom layer of refried beans, two large dollops each of sour cream and guacamole and all the other accoutrements that go in a taco salad. Just a lovely visit. My server was very attentive and accommodating. read more

I have to say, they have the best Nachos I've ever had. Sooo sooo delicious. I would've come back just for the nachos. The bread is also good But I also have to say -- the menudo, one of my favorite Mexican dishes, is really bad here.the meat smells too bad, so my friend couldn't even drink the soup. The service was very nice too. read more

Staff was great and food was fantastic. The plates were huge and the menu was extensive. We traditionally eat somewhere in the village, and were pleasantly surprised by this place only a few steps down the street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great spot if you have a large family gathering or a group that doesn't want to wait the usual wait times you'll find downtown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating for large parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We would have gone back for breakfast the next morning if we were staying longer. Definitely recommend. read more

Decided to give this place a try on my most recent visit to Big Bear and wasn't necessarily impressed nor disappointed. The ambiance is great and the service was fantastic but the tacos were just okay. I opted for a few different tacos to try out and my favorite was the Fish (mahi-mahi). Very flavorful and fresh. The carne asada, pastor, and fish Baja style taco fell short compared to the Mahi-Mahi. Overall, this is a decent spot for some Mexican food in the Big Bear vicinity. read more

All the staff was very nice and helpful. You get free chips and salsa and they are so good and fresh! We came here for breakfast and the food is pretty good.

Here's your revised Yelp review: Terrible Service and Hidden Fees--Never Returning I recently visited Laguna Grill, and while the girl at the front desk was incredibly nice and welcoming, the rest of my experience was a complete disappointment. As usual, they served chips and salsa, but the salsa was too spicy for me. I asked for pico de gallo, and while the waitress brought some, it was mostly onion and cilantro with barely any tomatoes, making it just as spicy and inedible. She never mentioned there would be an extra fee for the pico de gallo. For my meal, I ordered a chile relleno with a taco, specifically requesting light oil since the chips were so greasy that you could taste the oil on your lips. The chile relleno came in a red sauce that was very spicy, and the taco was plain and flavorless--just cheese and lettuce. When the friendly front desk girl asked if we needed anything, I asked for a small amount of sour cream and guacamole. Again, no one told me there would be an extra fee. Later, when the waitress returned, I asked her directly if there was a fee, and she hesitated before admitting there was. By then, the other girl had already brought it to me, so I just let it go. Things escalated when we got the bill. The charges for such small portions of sour cream and guacamole were outrageous. I decided to speak with the waitress about it, and the young front desk girl and another gentleman were present. When I confronted the waitress, she rudely said, "Nothing is free in this world, ma'am." I explained that no one had told me there would be fees for either the sour cream or the pico de gallo. She gave the front desk girl a rude look, and I immediately called her out, saying, "Don't look at her that way. You didn't even tell me there was a fee for the pico de gallo." I told her I wasn't going to pay for these ridiculous charges, but my husband and I ultimately just paid it to avoid further conflict. I also asked to speak to a manager, but the waitress shrugged and said they weren't there. I told her I would be leaving a review about this experience, and here it is. It's really sad how this situation played out, and I hope others take note. Between the poor service, hidden fees, and lackluster food, we will not be coming back. read more

Great Taco Tuesday specials and friendly staff. The food is always good and so are the margaritas!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]NO VIEW OF THE LAKE, which wouldn't bother me, if that wasn't how this place is advertising itself, that's why I'm giving a 2-star instead of a 4-star.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good happy hour prices starting at 3 PM, most people return here (obviously that's a good sign) staff was a super friendly, three different servers help us interchangeably. [[HIGHLIGHT]]NFL football was on (depending on where you sit) but not obnoxiously loud. Good if you're not a sports fan, ok if you're not.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor & semi-outdoor seating areas, that was a nice option.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We dined at this Mexican Restaurant and we were very pleased! Staff were very kind and too great care of us throughout our meal. Hard tacos, soft tacos, rice & beans, and chile rellenos, and burritos! Everything was so delicious! Guys had different beers and us girls had Mules (yummy!). This was our 2nd visit with everything being perfect. Th er outdoor patio was really nice on a warm late afternoon. We will definitely eat there again soon! read more

We ordered a couple burritos and asada fries to go on Labor Day night so we could hang out and watch the drone show. The phone order was quick and easy and the girl on the line was nice and let me know that they were slammed and it could be a longer wait due to the holiday. Food was done faster than expected and tasted great. Carne asada was tasty and the chile verde burrito was saucy good stuff. read more

My family and I recently visited big bear for a long weekend and decided to try this place out. Everything was wrong pretty much from the start. The biggest take away in all of this was the food being bland and just really not good at all. I asked for some melted queso for my taco salad, I asked 3-4 people and was eventually brought ranch. My husband had to physically get up to ask for refill of water on more than one occasion. It's so close To the village I recommend just going somewhere else. There was one really great server in the many who visited us and their salsa was actually delicious read more

Service was 4 -5 star but the food was terrible. We ordered tacos and the meat quality was bad and not edible for human consumption. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outdoor with our pup which was great space and ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but the food was so bad no one finished their food. The kids were happy with their fries and grilled cheese but this place claims to be a Mexican place and being from So Cal we hoped for tasty food but were sorely disappointed especially seeing such a high rating on Google / Yelp. We will not return. read more

Came over here on a whim from the crowded village area so glad we did. No wait fast service and the food was delicious

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good food, reasonable prices, nice views of the lake, and good service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We eat here every time we come up...

The service was very good but the food did disappoint a little. It just wasn't anything too special and could have been better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The actual restaurant has a nice location however and the building seemed very well maintained and the atmosphere was very calm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food actually sucked, I'm not even going to lie. Absolutely everything was bland. The quesadilla I got was literally wet and not because of a queso dip because they didn't even have that on the menu... and it was not grilled/toasted at all. The chicken was so bland, the nachos were the same, and the shrimp fajitas were very clearly all store bought ingredients that were not prepared or seasoned properly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view and the service was great but that was really the only redeeming quality.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only two stars because of the service and environment but if it wasn't for that, it would be a one star.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Back visiting my home town, with friends in tow, I was super excited to bring them to one of my favorite lunch stops. I talked them into ordering an old favorite: the Mini taco platter. We ordered Carne Asada. The meat was so incredibly dry it was like beef jerky. There was no chew or freshness in the meat at all. It was so dry we were dipping it in the bean juice and salsa. We hardly ate any of our lunch. When I told the waitress she said sorry and took our plates away. I'm not sure what happened. There was no way this was remotely fresh. Possible leftover from the night before's "Taco Tuesday?" If so, hopefully the owners read this and do better. We were so disappointed. read more

Mexican restaurant lakeside with a nice covered patio I'll have to come back for when winter is over. Nicely decorated & clean with friendly attentive staff. I came in for taco Tuesday of course because that's my favorite & they have big tacos for $1! I was honestly shocked when they came out & they're delicious too. I really liked the shredded beef but they were all good. I also got a mechelada, it was good. It was quite noisy with loud banging coming from the kitchen & a kid on their tablet that's my only complaint really... if they had louder music playing that would help a lot. I don't like only being able to hear everyone around me and lots of noise. Anyway... They also have a taco Wednesday so I'll be back for that as well. read more

Great service and Food. The steak fajitas were delicious and fried ice cream!!! Do not skip

Older waiter with short curly hair was very rude to us and when we ordered a steak they brought out an almost live cow with blood dripping everywhere and very tough to chew and when we sent it back they charged it double on the check and even sent one of their workers to take pictures of our car plates thinking that we were going to leave without paying. Honestly you could find a better place that actually makes good food. read more
