    Hard shell tacos!  DELICIOUS
    Tammi B.

    Fun experience! The home(origin) of the hard shell taco did not disappoint. I had a ground beef and a shredded beef taco. Both were great but the shredded version had a bit more deliciousness. Our server, Valentina, was great. If I ever get back this way, will ask to be seated in her area. Being super tired from our day's worth of travel from Williams, AZ to San Bernardino on Route 66, we were hungry and weary. Put this one on your itinerary for your cross country Route 66 roadtrip. Has a great nostalgic vibe.

    The Original Taco Bell tacos are good. I had the ground beef, my wife had the shredded beef. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful and was very attentive, checking in on us. The restaurant is very spacious plenty of seats and the parking is great, the have their own parking lot. Definitely coming back.

    Chips and salsa - get them when you sit down

    4+ A Mexican restaurant operating since 1937 along the historic Route 55. There's a family owned/operated vibe here - it's been in the family and passed down for about four generations now. The menu has items you can order a la carte, but there is a section of different combo platters. The prices are reasonable and the service is attentive and friendly. One of the main reasons I wanted to come here? The taco that launched a thousand franchises (more or less). You see, the founder of Taco Bell (Glen Bell) saw the fervor for the crunchy tacos served out of this cafe and basically copied/reconstructed the recipe and opened the first Taco Bell in 1962. My niece was in the area checking out one of the nearby schools and thought this was the perfect opportunity to finally come here. I met up with my niece and sis-in-law here a little after normal lunch time, so the place was not busy at all and we were able to get seated right away. I already had lunch (I really was there to meet with fam, but couldn't resist getting some tacos) so I just got a couple of the ground beef hard shell tacos. The tacos were very enjoyable and was so glad I came here. Definitely would come again to try their other menu items and combos. Looks like the place could be fun during the busy dinner times too! As an unabashed Taco Bell fan and an appreciator of food history, this place felt like going to a great cafe and a museum of sorts all in once visit. Parking wasn't an issue on a weekday afternoon, but not sure how it would be during busy nights.

    So We're Back Again To Mitla Cafe Before We Head Back Home 51/2 Hours Away To The City Of KING, CA. We Came Yesterday And Totally Enjoyed The Atmosphere And Of Course The FOOD..!! We Actually Had To Wait For A Table Which Is Well Worth The Wait..!! Especially When They Make Homemade Corn And Flour Tortillas...!!! YUMMMERRRZZZZ...!!!! So I Am Going To Have The Steak And Eggs This Time With Beans And Rice Instead Of Fries..!! And Of Course The Homemade Flour Tortillas, And My Fiancée's Going To Have The #4 Combination Which Consists Of Two Cheese Enchiladas And A Crispy Taco With Beans And Rice As Well, Can't Go Wrong With Either Tortillas Both BOMBIZZIE And Homemade...!!!! To Wash It All Down I Ordered A Rootbeer And My Babe A Michelada With Corona Especial..!!!

    Mitla Café is the real deal. The food is simple but incredibly tasty -- no frills, no fusion, just straight-up classic Mexican comfort food. You can tell they've been doing this forever... because they basically have. The menu hasn't changed much in over 50 years, and honestly, it doesn't need to. The place is old (opened in 1937!), but it's very well maintained. Clean, welcoming, and full of history. The walls are covered in photos and framed articles from major publications, which just adds to the sense that you're eating in a local landmark -- not just a restaurant. It was fairly busy when we went, mostly Latino families and locals -- always a great sign when it comes to legit Mexican food. Everything just felt authentic, in the best way. If you want a taste of Inland Empire history, served on a plate with red chile sauce, Mitla Café is absolutely worth a visit.

    Special Combination Plate with 2 Tacos and a Chile Relleno (front) and Asada Combination Burrito with Cheese and Sauce (back)

    tl;dr step aside, Taco Bell; Mitla's hard-shelled tacos highlight a solid and approachable selection of Mexican-American eats Despite its unassuming appearance, the Milta Cafe is one of the most historic restaurants in the Inland Empire. This San Bernardino stalwart has been serving up Mexican comfort food since 1937. Over the years, it was a popular meetinghouse for local Mexican-American community leaders, and the tacos dorados even served as inspiration to Glen Bell (founder of Taco Bell). Mitla is positioned on an industrial stretch of Route 66. Outside, the Hampton Hotels Save-a-Landmark program recognizes the restaurant with a commemorative sign. Walk through the gated, recessed entry to find yourself in a bar-lobby hybrid. To the left, diner-style seats run the length of the diminutive bar counter, barely longer than the flat screen mounted on the wall. To the right, a half-booth leads up to the entryway into the main dining room. The dimly lit dining space echoes with chatter. The mustard-yellow walls are peppered with memorabilia, from Route 66 plaques to framed news articles to regional recognitions. Sturdy wooden chairs are pressed up to worn wood-laminate tables. Tables remain filled even during off-hours. My partner and I visited Mitla on the way back from Big Bear, and we had no trouble getting a table for late lunch. For entrees, we opted for a Special Combination Plate (with a cup of Albondigas, a Ground Beef Taco, a Shredded Beef Taco, and a Chile Relleno) and an Asada Combination Burrito with Cheese and Sauce. My favorite component of the meal was the tacos. The resemblance to Taco Bell was unmistakable, but Mitla's tacos were larger with more premium components across the board; I was particularly struck by the crispy taco shell and juicy meat. Between the beef options, I preferred the ground beef to the slightly tough shredded beef. Meanwhile, my partner loved the forearm-sized burrito. The flour tortilla was stuffed with refried beans and pan-fried carne asada bits, then topped with gooey cheese and tangy enchilada sauce. Other components of the meal were good but less memorable. The complimentary chips were warm and sturdy but minimally salted; they served the entire cup of slightly spicy, pico de gallo-like salsa. The mix-in-heavy albondigas was decked with large chunks of veggies and a fist-sized meatball, while the chile con carne paired plenty of slightly fatty meat with a savory tomato broth. The tomato-forward rice and rich, cheesy beans were solid standalone sides. Only the soggy, rich-but-one-dimensional chile relleno was a true dud. The service was attentive without feeling overbearing, and our bill totaled just over $50 (after tax and tip). The prices are a touch higher than similar restaurants, and some of the a la carte prices felt eyebrow-raising (single tacos are $6, while sides of rice and beans clock in at $7). Nonetheless, for a bite of history, Mitla is a worthwhile stop if in the area. I, for one, will be focusing solely on the hard-shell tacos during my next visit.

    Iconic restaurant along the route 66, known for being the inspiration for Taco Bell's crispy tacos. It does get very busy here due to its extreme popularity, I suggest a seat at the bar if you are in a rush. Service was wonderful, very friendly and hard-working. The portions are huge and the prices are fair. Their chips and salsa was delicious. Great option if you are looking for nostalgic Mexican food in the area!

    Such an awesome breakfast! Everything was fast and service was good. Drinks have free refills. The pancakes were good and my boyfriend ate the whole huevos rancheros plate - he said it was excellent. It has great home-y vibes and is comfortable inside. They have a separate parking lot as well. We will be back to try tacos for lunch.

    The restaurant itself is very beautiful and clean. The workers are very nice and welcoming. The music is fun! The food was ordinary but overall good and filling. The reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is solely because of the pricing. I think it's a little overpriced.

    The negatives first: 1) The Hood. It's in an old part of San Bernardino where cars race down Mount Vernon Avenue and the establishments hide behind locked iron gates when they are closed for business. 2) It's dark inside. I could barely see my food and the menu. 3) Margaritas are served in a water glass, not a margarita glass. The positives: 1) History. You feel a strong sense of history inside, with the pictures and the awards on the walls, like this place has been around a long time. 2) The food. Authentic Mexican food is hard to find. A good sit-down Mexican restaurant is hard to find. I had the chili relleno and chicken enchilada. 9/10. The wife had a shredded beef taco 10/10 and a cheese enchilada 2/10 (the cheese inside was hard). 3) Plenty of parking across the street in a fenced parking lot. We were early, so we parked on the street.

    We came right when it opened at 8am and was a line to get in. Service was fast, friendly staff & quick service once we were seated. It's a nice home feel atmosphere with music playing in the background. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros. It's an amazing flavorful dish served with HOMEMADE TORTILLAS . You have to try it atleast once to appreciate the flavors. This place is the founding place for Tacos... This is where Taco Bell got their idea. Lots of history here. Come try for yourself , you won't regret it.

Not sure what it is, maybe it has too many spices in it? It was a little too sweet and a bit too dense. Crust was perfect, flaky and buttery. We also grabbed the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. That was devoured. Not too dense and creamy. Sweet potato was swirled into the cheesecake which helped it from being too tangy. Underneath the crust had a layer of granulated sugar mixed in with some crumbly crust. That part was a bit sweet but I just scooped it away and it was fine.

First off, the ambience is great. The café is decorated with cute French-themed touches, and it has a cozy, inviting vibe. The employees were also friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. For food, I ordered a turkey sandwich. It was good overall--more of a torta-style sandwich with flavorful ingredients, served on toasted white bread. No complaints there. Unfortunately, the coffee was a letdown. I ordered the horchata latte, but it tasted like low-quality coffee. I didn't really get any horchata flavor--more like a watered-down vanilla/cinnamon latte. For dessert, I tried the key lime tart. It wasn't very sweet, and the crust was extremely dry. Considering it was almost $10 for a fairly small tart, it didn't feel worth the price. Speaking of price, the overall cost felt overpriced for what you get. I paid around $30 for a sandwich, coffee, and tart, which felt steep given the quality of the items I tried. Service timing was another issue. A group came in after me, and my order wasn't started until after they took everyone else's order. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but I was in a bit of a hurry, and it ended up holding me up longer than expected. That said, it does seem like crepes are their main specialty, and judging by other reviews, those might be worth trying. If you're going specifically for crepes, it may still be worth a visit. However, based on my experience with the sandwich, coffee, and dessert, I personally wouldn't return. I genuinely wish them the best as a small business--it just wasn't for me.

Here I was to experience it once more. Yes, I've been here in the past. Parking was easy right in front of the shop. It was about 20 minutes until closing time. There was still a line, but not too long so it went swiftly. Atmosphere was clean and bright. Ambiance has a Hawaiian flare to it. If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was in Hawaii. Limited outside seating and some inside seating. There's a cool cabana hut-like section you may sit at. One all gender restroom available for use. Staff was super fantastic and friendly. They serve the ice cream in quite a variety... fruit bowls, mangonada, vegan/dairy free ice cream, soft serve, floats, shakes, etc. You may even take home pre-packaged pints to-go. Cute shirts for sale, too. As for here, free samples available on any flavors. You may try them all (that's what they say). Sweet! Of course I didn't try all of them, but maybe one day I will. WOW, so many unique and interesting combination of flavors. I sampled 5 flavors as shown below. *Navels & Ganache - Bright navel orange ice cream mixed with rich, dark chocolate ganache chunks *Ube Macapuno - Philippine purple ube root mixed with macapuno (coconut) puree *Date Casablanca - Medajool date ice cream with a date/caramel swirl *Honeysuckle Rose - Honey sweetened vanilla ice cream with rose petal extract *Kauai Pie - Kona coffee ice cream, Hawaiian macadamia nuts, shredded and lightly toasted coconut, and rich dark chocolate fudge I ended up getting one regular cup with 2 flavors for $6.50... very reasonable price! My two picks were Ube Mascapuno and Kauai Pie. Good size scoops. Very rich and smooth texture. Ube was spectacular! YUMMY!! Kauai was good, but unfornately, it didn't pair too well with Ube IMHO. I won't do that again. I will, however, return and try their other fun and tasty flavors. I'll be back and so should you if you've been here before.

    Taco 'Bout Sweets is tasty town and a great treat -- especially with the kids! Mine are obsessed…read morewith watching the ice cream get mashed, mixed, and whipped on the frozen slab like it's a live show. Our go-to flavors: Cookies & Cream, Brown Town, and Mint Chocolate Chunk...they're all solid! My kids usually like to get theirs scooped into a cup...they're not fond of mixing taco shells with the ice cream. But my hubby is! And don't sleep on the House Coffee -- Vietnamese coffee with foam on top that absolutely slaps. Great vibes, cool art, and those antique Singer sewing machine tables? Extra neat! We love this place!!!

    We love Taco 'bout sweets. It's such a fun little spot to stop for a treat, especially with my son…read more He loves watching them make the rolled ice cream, and the presentation is always really cool to see. The ice cream itself is really good, and the taco shells they serve it in are delicious too. The service is always lovely. Everyone there is super sweet and friendly, which definitely makes the experience even better. The prices are also very reasonable. I think it's around $7.95 for a rolled ice cream, which feels like a pretty standard price for that kind of dessert. The only thing that keeps it from being five stars is the ambiance. The place itself is just a little lackluster. It's not bad, it just doesn't have much of a vibe. But honestly, the ice cream and the friendly service still make it a great place to stop by. Overall, it's a great experience and a fun little treat spot. I love coming here to grab a snack with my son.
