No 89 cent burritos here folks! Just authentic Mexican food at a resturaunt where you can real. Down to earth, Good service and you don't have to pay $35 and up per plate like some of the fancy resort places in Arrowhead! Also beats $9 burgers at the local fast food places too!

This was a fair drive from where we were staying in San Bernardino but it was worth it . The views across the area were amazing. The restaurant staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was excellent , huge portions though , almost each meal was enough for two. We had fajitas and burritos.

4. Mi Cocina

In the past, our food here was cold three times in a row. When we sent our food back, it came back cold. Who likes cold refried beans? The cheese that they put on top would not melt. On one occasion, my chicken enchilada was filled with chicken gristle (YUK!!!) which was a huge turn-off to me. The waitress didn't seem to care. She made it seem like we were at fault. We stayed away from the restaurant for over two years. Since Mi Cocina is in our neighborhood, we decided to give it a try again. Maybe the secret to getting a hot meal here, is to ask for your food on a hot plate. Our lunch was good but fairly average on our last visit. It was a little pricey for Mexican food. Service was prompt, and the waiter was friendly. We really miss the food at their old location on Boulder. The food here is not as good. We are not in a hurry to return.

Ate here with a party of 12, 4 generations and we all got something good. Portions were off the hook huge, even splitting the nacho's for dinner can work. The food was good, not amazing, pretty standard stuff, nothing unique or super tasty that we tried. (We had nacho's taco salad, enchilada's, kids, nahco, cheeseburger and queadllla's, all the kinds of fajita's and the El Gordo Burrito that my son in law consumed and proceeded to sleep the rest of the night beacuse it was so huge. The service was top rate, and drinks reasonable. Looks like a great happy hour, we got a drink, but got seated so did not see all the specials. Next time with a smaller group,HH is the best way to go in the nice bar area that is where you come in. Gets packed on the weekends, get there early.

We discovered this place as we were heading back to LA after staying one night in Lake Arrowhead. ALL the restaurants in the village were very crowded with very long wait times, so we decided to grab lunch elsewhere and am I glad we did. We were seated immediately (although we JUST missed a window seat, darn!) The service was quick and the menu was extensive. The guacamole was authentic: nothing added but avocados. I had a Mexican pork taco which came with rice and beans. Delicious!

Stayed next door at the Deep Creek Motel (great place!) and got take out from Neo's. Amazing fried chicken! Next morning went over for breakfast before heading off to ski. That was really good too, a bit of a wait for the food - but not bad at all. Will definitely eat there next time I'm on the mountain.
