I love supporting local businesses and this place got it right. Everything about this restaurant was perfect. Service was top notch. Always checking on you, quick and very helpful. The food was spot on. Flavorful, hot and delicious. We even came back the next day! It's that good! The owner, Rosa was very nice and delightful. If you're looking for really good comfort Mexican food, this is it! Very family friendly, prices are just right, and the drinks are spot on. We will definitely be back next time we are in town! I'm already craving more!

I would wait happily any time I go back if it's always this good. My favorite was the chorrellana. The beans, rice, meat, onions, everything. Absolutely perfect. My husband really liked his costillas al horno, and our mom liked her carne asada wrap. Everything was delicious! We also had the agua fresco of the day which will be another staple to our order. Last but certainly not least was the churros. Dang, so crispy, warming, and delicious. Everything fresh and made with love. Can't wait to come back.

We picked a corner window table and were served immediately with cold water and the complimentary…read morechips and salsas. The chips are fresh and dusted with a paprika/salt powder. The salsas are outstanding. One a bit spicier than the other but nearly impossible to choose a favorite. We ordered the chicken and steak fajita combination with black beans and rice with corn tortillas. The fajita arrives on a sizzling cast iron skillet with generous amounts of grilled onions and carmelized red peppers. We rounded our order out with their house guacamole. The guacamole, itself, could have used a bit more salt but the perfectly salted chips helped solve that. The margaritas are dangerously good. And the mix they use tastes fresh and house made. I loved that these were served with dehydrated lemon wheels and a sprig of thyme. Pablo took excellent care of us and we will 100% return.

Good food, good drinks, and a nice spot to just relax after being out all day. The shrimp cocktail was actually really good. Super flavorful and refreshing. Chips and salsa were solid, and that hot sauce had a nice kick to it. My wife loved the mango margaritas, which honestly looked just as good as they tasted. The al pastor tacos were decent. Not bad, not amazing, just somewhere in the middle. The only reason I'm dropping a star is the service. It was pretty slow even though it wasn't a full house. Not terrible, but definitely noticeable. Overall, still a great spot if you're in Big Bear and want good food with a chill vibe.

Went to Rincon and it did not disappoint. My wife and I shared the chilaquiles and they were…read moreexcellent with great flavor and a slight kick that made them stand out. Our 3 year old and 1 year old shared the papas con huevo and I will admit I stole a few bites of the potatoes. Hands down some of the best breakfast potatoes I have ever had perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The staff was super friendly and welcoming which made the experience even better. We have tried several other Mexican food spots in Big Bear and honestly left disappointed but this place delivered on every level. Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu next time. Highly recommend.

We both love Mexican food so we thought this place would be a no-brainer and fun to try something…read morenew. We came on a very snowy day and there weren't a lot of people in the restaurant so we had our choice of seats. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful in choosing our dishes. We've been to many Mexican restaurants so we are pretty sure what we wanted, but had a few questions as some of the items seemed a little different than expected. She got the enchiladas with bean sauce on top which we're pretty darn good. I got a chicken mole dish that was good, but not quite what I was hoping for. We both came to the conclusion that this restaurant represents a regional area of Mexico that is not necessarily the same as your standard Mexican food lineup. While the food was tasty, we didn't absolutely love it and probably won't choose this place for our next Mexican meal.

I was a little bit skeptic due to the review but what heck! I was in for a margarita!!!…read more I was surprised because of the not-so-great reviews, margarita with chamoy, tamarind base, seems really nice! Their fire roasted tomato salsa was different than any salsa I've tasted. Mild not salty and not very tomato-ey. Balanced flavor of onion cilantro and that fire roasted flavor. The spicy shrimp plate does not have that Mexican flavor but more like a Thai spicy chili saucy which she already said from the get go. The tacos are also mild in taste which kinda tasted good too.

Starting with the negative as to why it's not a 5 star review:…read more The decor on the inside and the theme is very very busy. It kinda seems like an entire hobby lobby was purchased and put into the restaurant. 3/5 design The salad was not anything special. It was good lettuce but just that, some croutons, and dressing of choice. 3/5 salad When we got there, no one came to greet us and we were waiting in the main entrance area for about a good 10 Minutes while I saw what looked like all the staff members on the left side of the restaurant hanging out and joking around. Once I went over to say that I was there, the server was attentive and polite. 3/5 service I felt the price was too high. For 2 meals and water we ended up paying around $50. I would have been more pleased with around 35-40. 3/5 price The good: The portions are really great. I love to have big portions and this place did not disappoint. The food was better tasting than expected: I was nervous with such a giant place and only 2 other parties were there. However, I really enjoyed my chicken Parmesan and my wife's nachos were good with a good amount of cheese. I would come back but not every time I visit big bear on vacation. Maybe like every 3rd visit.

Food: I ordered the salmon cilantro salad & I really liked it. Salmon was cooked well and the…read morecilantro sauce was bomb. I also got a glass of Josh wine. Service: super slow. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I sat outside for the view. When customers sit outside, servers are supposed to check up on them often. I know because I used to be a server. She only came out twice during the hour I was there. I wanted more napkins and was going to go inside and ask for it but I just patiently kept waiting and then finally when she came out I asked for it. At the end of my meal when I got the check, she still didn't come out, so I just went inside so I can hurry up and pay and leave because the bugs were attacking me outside. For the record, the restaurant was empty too. If it was busy, I'd understand the slow service. But it was pretty empty, like 5 tables filled, and the restaurant is big because there's indoor and outdoor seating. Also there was another older white lady (not my server) who I think might be a manager or owner, who came outside to ask the white couple sitting next to me if everything was good. It was only me and that couple sitting in the outside patio at the time because the sun had set. And after asking them she just went back inside. She never asked me how I was doing or if I needed anything. Because of that I thought she was racist but that's just my assumption. Either way, it was rude. I really did not like the service here as you can tell from this long review. Ambience: I found this place on yelp because I wanted to eat with a lake view. The view is cool. It's not WOWW. But there's not many lake view restaurant surprisingly in Big Bear. It sucked because the sun was setting on the left side, so it was behind the trees. So you couldn't see the sunset. However their lake view to the front and right is nice. I ate at De La Nonna yesterday, which also had a view. And their view is wayyyy better. So overall, view was nice. Not horrible. Not the best. But at least you get a view. Now onto my biggest ick of the night, which was worse than the service, and the reason why I will never return here or recommend this place to anyone.. the BUGS. Oh my GOD!! They were attacking me and even if you shoo them away they don't go away. And it was like 5 different types of bugs. This small little fruit fly looking one, this huge fly/bee size one, this small green mini grasshopper looking one. These bugs kept hitting my face as I was eating I had to keep slapping my face and use the napkins to keep waving them around to keep them away but it didn't work. One landed in my wine, one landed in my water, 2 landed in my salad, a bunch on my face and body. It was insane. I would think they would know this and put some type of outdoor bug zapper for the customers. Or bug traps or repellent. Anything to deter the bugs away. It ruined my experience and I couldn't even enjoy the view because I was too busy slapping and killing these bugs. This place has potential but it's not it. I'm just glad my salad tasted good so at least I had a satisfying meal. If my food sucked I would've been PISSED at the whole experience. I'm giving it a 2 star for the salad and decent view.

Very tasty and good portion sizes, along with sides like beans and rice, with chips and salsa at the table as well. It was a little loud since there was a large table full of annoying children, unsupervised by their parents, but that is no fault of the restaurant. Will definitely come back again on our next Big Bear trip!!

I asked for a receipt, but the cashier said she accidentally pressed "no receipt," so I didn't get one.

Overall, I don't appreciate being overcharged. If you go here, make sure to get a receipt. I won't be coming back.

It was very peaceful for a Tuesday and we had the whole place to ourselves most of our stay. We sat on the enclosed patio, which kept us nice and warm with heaters and gave us a nice view of the marina. Too bad there's a building right next to the patio or you have a great view of the lake... 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.
