La Paws Restaurant, Big Bear CA

Favorite place to stop after skiing. The Mom is the cook and she knows how to make good food.

After my 5th time trying la Paz (15 year big bear resident) doing my best to support local businesses. This place has always been disgusting disappointment. Raw flavorless fatty meats. I got half way through my red Chile pork burrito (that had green sauce not red) the meat was raw & pink. It sent me to the restroom all day for 3 days in a row. The asada was flavorless chunks. Just simply a terrible place to eat & extremely over priced.

Came here to eat after skiing, surprised me that the foods were really good! Service was friendly, will come back again

Been stopping in since the 90's. Consistently good! I don't even think twice about it. Yesterday, Halloween 2022, was no exception. The Mrs loved her cheese enchiladas, I loved my carne asada burrito. We will be back again, and again!

The service was good but the food was probably the most bland Mexican cuisine I've ever had. This is a very small restaurant with limited seating.

Beautiful food and beautiful service. Very homy and welcoming, I felt safe and comfortable eating. The food was really good, very tasty and delicious. I would say this is kind of a texmex, or authentic mexican restaurant. Been going here for years and I'll continue to go:)

Service was fast and the waitress was friendly. The food was out in ten minutes or less, and the portions were large. I was expecting it to be more authentic instead of TexMex, but it was still delicious. I was hoping they had margaritas but no such luck. They have a few beer selections for those who want alcohol with their meal. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a quick, large portioned TexMex meal.

Nice little restaurant we saw on the way. Clean and cozy price wise a bit pricey, taste ok.

Wow some of the most authentic Mexican food I've tasted I tried a few restaurants and eateries with a Mexican twist but nothing like the real thing reasonably priced great staff and chili is made from scratch not the bottle stuff highly recommended

Love La Paws.great food really nice people it's clean it's our favorite Mexican food in Big Bear

My partner and I was seated quickly. We sat next to a window which had a lovely breeze. The hostess/waitress was nice. Place is small but has plenty of parking.the food came out in under 10 minutes after we ordered. With that being said my food was not so great. The rice was hard and the enchiladas flavor was overpowered by the clumps of cheese. The beans tasted like it was from a can. The salsa was the most dissapointing. My partner ordered the asada wet burrito which he said was really good.

The server was about as dispirited a person I could imagine. Maybe she’s the owner’s put-upon daughter conscripted into a sort of slave labor, but she cast a pall on what otherwise was a so-so Mexican restaurant. It’s walking distance from my summer home but I won’t go back.
Now I’ve had time to think about it I’ve lowered my score to one star. The salsa was out of a jar and the food pretty bad. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This owner shouldn’t run a restaurant.

We were driving buy and so hungry me my wife and little baby girl.

I saw the umbrellas and seats outside driving by. Caught my eye right away.

They restaurant is so nostalgic and very beautiful.

We sat outside it was amazing. Felt like I was in middle of the big bear forest eating my favorite food.

They served us very quickly food was great and hit the spot. Lady or owner was very polite and helpful.

Will be back on our next trip there.

I order a stake Ranchero and it was cold the rice was cold with no flavor the stake tasted like dog food how can they even call them self Mexican food my partner order enchiladas and they had no flavor and also was so cold and no taste. I would never ever eat there again.me and my partner got sick with this food. Go somewhere else.

Not a bad little joint. Reasonable prices. Very small be patient. I recommend the carne asada burrito #7 wet with green sauce!

Food was bland and the person who took the order over the phone had an attitude when I asked questions

Nice little Mexican restaurant in Big Bear. The food was pretty good and the environment is cozy. It’s not in the busiest part of Big Bear so it is less hectic, which was nice for us.
