Gaby's Latin Flavors - Big Bear Lake

This isn't your typical restaurant; it's a step up in home-style cooking that is incredibly delicious. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Friendly staff and wonderfully clean flavors! A tasty latin twist that is so refreshing on a mountain with almost a dozen mexican restaurants, I cant believe we waited so long to try them and have already returned twice! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

Mexican food is my favorite, and I've tried all the local restaurants, including Azteca Grill, El Jacalito Grill, Hacienda Grill, Muchachos, and 909 Taqueria. Gaby's Latin Flavors, however, is just average Mexican cuisine at three times the price of others. It's simply overpriced. Anyone giving this place high ratings must either work there or have never experienced authentic Mexican food. The Bolivian twist they advertise is not what you'd expect. They charge you before you even sit down. Be cautious of the loud bartender; she tends to add an exorbitant tip to your bill without having provided any significant service. Her behavior felt more like I was in downtown LA than a local restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend this place—there are far better options in Big Bear that are much more reasonably priced!

My photos don’t quite capture the beauty of this place, as we were seated outside under a red umbrella, which caused some unusual reflections on the food. However, the food itself was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend trying the avocado salad – it was incredible! Overall, I’d rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 stars!

Only 2 customers, yet the wait time for a burrito will be 30-40 minutes.. slow cooks Plus they don’t answer the phone. Service: Take out Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1
