Muchachos Tortilla - Big Bear Lake

Love this place!! Service was rop notch!! Food was fantastic!!! The service was very personable. Super friendly and happy staff. The food was top notch. The salsa was to die for!!!

Walked by this place late and saw the sign which advertises their amazing margaritas. The restaurant was closed but I knew I had to try it the next day. Stoped in mid day on a Saturday. We were immediately greeted by Rick. It was a bit busy but not so busy that we couldn't be seated. Soon after we received our fresh chips and salsa along with the menu. The place itself is very aesthetic. The decore is nice with a Hispanic flair. There are lottoria pics along the left wall and pretty cool looking beer tap made from a paleta cart. The roll up front door makes the inside nice and fresh. On to the menu. They have the usual variety of Mexican option and hot wings..LOL. So, we went with chicken enchiladas, an asada burrito and a couple tacos. Many would say Mexican is Mexican. I beg to differ. The green sauce was tasty, the beans were good and the rice fluffy. The burrito and tacos were above average with tender asada meat. Now on to the salsas. Salsas can make or brake any restaurant. The sauce on the green enchiladas was very good. The salsa provided with the chips was mild and could use a little more flavor. But, the salsa provided with the burrito had an amazing roasted flavor. AND then I asked for their spicy salsa. I was provided with a magnificent off the menu habanero salsa which will kick your but. This place is not just good it's very good. The decor, the friendly service and Rick making sure everything you have is good. Oh ya, the micheladas are also great.Thanks, I look forward to going back. Salud !

Please save your self some time and just come here. We came twice Saturday night and Sunday morning. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming unlike some other establishments we encountered in the village. 10/10 recommend, we will definitely be coming back when we're in big bear again.

The pros: food is fresh, the server was hardworking and very personable, it's clean and in a nice location. (Based on our research, this was one of few Mexican restaurants in the area with no health violations.)Room for improvement: they were out of rice (at a Mexican place that seems lame), food is made from scratch so takes a long time to prepare, one server handling bar and entire restaurant. Anthony Michael (the server covering the entire restaurant alone) is a delight. Competent, friendly and anticipates customer issue. He's an asset to this restaurant. We ordered an enchilada plate, three tacos a La carte, and a bean and cheese burrito off the kids menu. Everything tasted healthy and super fresh. This is not a super authentic restaurant more healthy than the tastiest ever (as parents dining with a small child that worked for us though). There are high chairs. It would be nice if the owners got crayons and coloring mats for kids.

We've been to Muchachos multiple times. Service and food were great each time. We tend to go on the weekdays. I highly recommend the Birria Tacos amazing food for a reasonable price.
