Latin Flavors Michoacana

Casual dining. You order at the front counter, then grab a table. Indoor area has two large tables for big groups. Has outdoor eating area as well. Large portions. Most entrees can fed two people. The ribs were tender, the burrito was huge. Service satisfactory.

We were across the street getting our rental when we came upon this place. It was really good and the woman who helped us was very friendly.

The clerk there was patient and helpful. Great banana split

After eating at two restaurants (Tropacalli and Himalayan, and being disappointed, underwhelmed, after reading all their rave, yet, misleading reviews. I didn’t expect this place to be good. I WAS WRONG! The food is amazing, unexpected. Feels like a hug. The Fricasse is love in a bowl. The Loma Montado is amazing. Chicken enchiladas are delightful. Tres Leches cake to die for. It’s not a fancy place, ordering is at the counter. They have margaritas which, according to my family members, were very good. The icing on the cake is the service. Friendly, attentive, hard working family. We liked it so much we ate there twice during our stay in Big Bear.

Family went out for an early dinner and decided on this bright yellow Latin restaurant . At first Gabbys seemed a little funky , you order at the front counter then go into a rather plain dining room to seat yourself . When the food starts arriving everything changes , the avocado salad to share was large , delicate , and delicious. The moment the Fricase Bolivian Pozole was brought to the table we were hooked . The aroma was amazing , the broth spicy at first , then mellowing out to pure happiness , the pork was bursting with flavor and was melt in your mouth tender. There was even a bonus of a pork rib in the bowl . This dish was love in a bowl . The Lomo Montado , was equally excellent with delicious carne asada and fried eggs perfectly cooked . The kids went towards the Mexican side of the menu having chicken enchiladas and a chicken torta , both generous portions and delicious. We were served by a trio of women , Gabby , her daughter, and another lovely young lady . They checked often to make sure we were happy and refilled drinks so that they were never empty . We finished with a slice of their excellent tres leches cake . This is the best meal we’ve had in Big Bear . Gabby’s warm hospitality and delicious food are not to be missed !
