Nuevo Vallarta Grill

I love trying new places in Big Bear and this was next on my list. And I was craving Mexican food. Small little restaurant with cozy booths inside. Came in at 2:30 in the afternoon and was the only one there to start. Couple more tables filled up within the hour. My server was very attentive and sweet. I couldn’t make a skinny margarita so I had the tequila wine margarita lime flavored, which is the only cocktail they have on their menu. Everything else is beer and wine. It was served in a large cool margarita glass but loads of ice in it and didn’t taste like a margarita at all. I had two of them and didn’t get even a slight little buzz lol. Very weak. That drink was $12.99. Complementary chips and salsa. The chips had a nice thickness and crunch to them and the salsa was lovely. Then I

Came over here after a day of riding. I looked at the menu through their website to settle on items I may be interested in . Upon arriving to retrieve my food I was to be charged an additional $20+ for my items . I decided to leave the food and get dinner elsewhere as I had been quoted more than twice the price that was listed. When speaking to the owner about this, I was told that their website hadn't been updated in at least six years and I should've checked the DoorDash for current pricing?! How bassackward . I did still end up leaving a tip as the owner was very patient, but I will 100% never visit this establishment again . I've been to many upscale/pricey restaurants in bear and have never had an issue but one thing I won't be doing is taking someone's word that my food is $30 more t

The food was amazing !!! Great atmosphere, great host ! I was traveling from Texas and they made me feel right at home

Definitely my favorite mexican restaurant when visiting BigBear. I've been coming here for over 10yrs. All the dishes my family and friends have tried, we've never been disappointed. The service is on point. It's a must try.

Literally taco bell feels more mexican than this. No flavor whatsoever on the carne asada taco, bought only one because we were told that the tacos were pretty big and would likely fill you up (i’m 110 5’7 f, so most food does fill me up if it’s an actual portion), i felt like i had a snack before needing dinner with it. I do not recommend if you want actual flavored food. Great for white folks who can’t handle flavor or spice.
