    Chile verde plate, chicken fajitas, shrimp burrito, beef taco salad, quesadilla, chips and salsa
    Julie R.

    The green salsa is life! The service was incredible and the building and ambiance were gorgeous. The chips and green salsa and the quesabirra were delicious I would happily just eat them. The main courses were good but the salsa and quesabirra were the stars for me. The staff were all so incredibly friendly and on top of everything.

    This appears to be a rather new business in the village. They specialize in Mexican food and seafood. We stopped in for dinner and we're glad that we did. My wife and I split an order of beef fajitas. The fajitas arrived, sizzling on a hot platter, accompanied by a plate that had beans and rice and another plate that had a little bit of cabbage, sour cream, and guacamole. We also got corn tortillas. The meal came with three corn tortillas. They were a little bit bigger than normal tortillas than I get at other Mexican food restaurants and maybe that's why I only got three normally we get four with a fajita order. But I'm sure it was probably about the same size. The fajitas were outstanding. There was an excellent mixture of beef, bell peppers, onions, and outstanding seasoning. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed them. The beans were also excellent. The rice was not the traditional looking Spanish rice. It was white and had peas and carrots in it. I loved it! Before your meal, they deliver a complementary basket of chips and a red and green salsa. Both were outstanding. Our server was excellent. He was very attentive. We were checked on three different times during our meal by someone who we think may have been the owner. She didn't introduce herself, but she didn't wanna make sure that we were enjoying our meal and wanting to make sure our experience was great. It's great to see such care from an owner or manager. The place was humming and the employees were doing a great job. A small band was setting up. It looks like they have live music at certain times. They also have a nice looking little patio out to the back. If you want try a nice Mexican food restaurant while you're in the big Bear Village give Rosa stop by.

    Idk where to even start with this 5 star review!!! Beautiful interior! Very well done all the way across! Service was impeccable! Being greeted by the owner herself at the Host stand and then being taken care of by Guadalupe our server. Top notch service and setting the experience for the rest of the evening! Im a huge foodie and we ordered multiple things cause we wanted to try as much as we could! The Chips and Salsa were hot and fresh! The Chile Verde plate was one of the best I've ever had! The Mole was chefs kiss!!! The Rice and Beans! So much love goes into making food like this and it shows and you can taste it! This easily goes down for me as one of the best restaurants I've ever been too. Since were here visiting we might just make it a 2nd time before we head back home!

    The staff is super nice and the place is new, very open, and clean. Everyone was so welcoming and seemed happy to be there. We really wanted to like this place because Big Bear is full of not so great tourist food. The food was pretty bland unless you put the salsas on it. The carne asada I got was so pale in color, thinly sliced, and lacked any flavor. The churros were very good and had a yummy gooey center.

    I am so glad that 'the other place' didn't have a table for our group, because we walked up the street and came upon this gorgeous, spacious, newly opened restaurant: Rosa's! It is beautiful inside; once you step in, you forget you are in the mountains. The ambience and decor feel like chic LA or Newport Beach. The art pops from the walls, the ceilings are high, the furniture is on point, and the place is a gem! The staff are so warm, friendly, and fast moving; that makes you feel well tended to. The complementary chips and salsa are a fantastic entry point to the culinary experience. We had the pleasure of meeting Rosa herself; this restaurant is one of her greatest achievements; her personal passion and joy are reflected throughout the place - and in the delicious food! All of our party loved our dishes. I'd gladly go back to Rosa's for lunch or dinner! You should try it- you won't be disappointed!

    The food was awesome. We had ordered the aguachiles, taquitos de papa and the handmade guac. Churros were a hit as well

    Stopped in for lunch at Rosa's Mexican Restaurant, and I was seriously impressed. They're only two weeks old, but they already have everything dialed in. I was greeted immediately and seated within seconds, which set a great first impression. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive the entire time, making sure we had everything we needed. The food tasted amazing--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you're craving Mexican food. Overall, I was really happy with the experience and will definitely be coming back. Excited to have a spot like this around!

    Interior- sooo gorgeous and well designed. Props to the designer! Food- everything was perfectly seasoned! The dishes are artistic but still authentic and my pallet was so delighted at each bite! Service- friendly staff - everyone! The salsas were perfect and warm chips! We will be back again n again. Looooved it!

    I've been coming to Big Bear 2x a year for over 15 years and Rosa's is such a great addition to the village! Popped by for lunch with friends to enjoy the outdoor patio in back with live acoustic music. The birria soup and shrimp cocktail were incredible. Love the design inside. A fresh addition to the BB eatery scene. Very dog friendly! Chicken and rice + water bowls for dogs available. All of the servers were lovely. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu on my next visit!

    Carne asada fajitas
    Grace H.

    The food and service was great. The carne asada was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The fajitas were nicely charred as well. This plate came with guac, sour cream, rice and beans too! Great portion. The carne asada burrito with red sauce was a solid 9/10 (per my boyfriend review). It had rice, beans, carne asada, onion, and some other stuff. The best part were tortillas. Corn and flour were both so soft with great taste. Chips were complimentary and they refilled salsa as well. Presentation was awesome too! No complaints here :) will come back

    Debbie L.

    Wow!! So great to have this new restaurant in Big Bear. The first thing you notice as soon as you walk in is the decor. It's so welcoming and beautiful. I went with a group of friends to another restaurant which happened to be closed so we did a quick pivot and headed to Rosa's. And it turned out perfectly perfect! They seated all eight of us right away and quickly got us stated with drinks, chips and delicious margaritas. The wait staff was amazing. The owners were both there and double checked on us several times. Everyone was friendly, happy, and helpful. Our food was delivered hot and quickly. They refilled our salsa many times and our waters too. So many delicious things on the menu. I had the durable shrimp and it was spicy hot but not scorching hot. Just right! I will definitely be going back soon!

    Complimentary salsa and chips provided. Our margaritas are pictured here.

    If you're looking for a new local gem, this family-owned spot is something really special. We came in during a busy holiday weekend to celebrate a birthday, and from the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. You can tell this place was built with heart. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Beautiful Hispanic-inspired furnishings, cozy booth seating, and thoughtful decor that makes it feel both modern and traditional at the same time. The lighting and layout give it an intimate, welcoming vibe that's perfect for celebrations or a relaxed night out. Customer service was truly exceptional. Despite the holiday rush (and the fact that they just opened two days ago!), the staff was attentive, kind, and incredibly generous. They went out of their way to make the birthday feel special, and that level of care really stood out. The drinks were phenomenal: fresh, well-balanced, and clearly made with pride. Pair that with great music playing in the background, and the whole experience felt lively without being overwhelming. And the food? Pure comfort. Everything tasted like it came straight from a home kitchen- rich, flavorful, and made with love. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. Special shoutout to the green salsa that came with the chips easily one of the best I've had. Bright, fresh, and addictively good. It's rare to find a brand-new restaurant that already feels this polished and heartfelt. If this is how they're starting, the future is very bright. We'll absolutely be back and can't wait to bring more friends and family.

This place hit the bar on all three of those pillars. We sat outside and a few of us ordered the margarita flight, while a few others ordered other cocktails. They were all really enjoyable and well balanced. We asked our server for his favorite thing on the menu and he suggested the steak plate and one other dish. The next person who came to our table also suggested the steak plate and ahi taco. 3-4 of us ended up ordering the steak plate, one ordered the quesabirria tacos. The elotes street corn was absolutely delicious. The sour cream on top just really sent it over the edge, the best I've ever had. Their flan was also exceptional. I'm not typically a fan of flan, but this one was really good. Top notch! Everyone absolutely loved their dish. The steak plate was absolutely wonderful. Steak was cooked to perfection, and the grilled onion was so good. The guacamole was flavorful, and it all went really nicely with the tortillas and other accoutrements. We had a great time and enjoyed amazing food. Highly, highly recommend. Pretty much all the girls agreed at the end of the weekend that this had been our favorite spot.

This review is more about the maintenance and conditions of the parklet seating area. My friends and I visited on a Sunday evening around 6:30pm. It wasn't peak season and it was about 100°F outside. Since we didn't have reservations, we were told we could only be seated in the outdoor parklet area. Another group of six arrived shortly after us and was visibly upset about the same situation and ultimately left, but we decided to stay and give it a try. Unfortunately, the parklet itself felt unsafe. My heel got stuck between the floorboards and several sections of the flooring were lifted. I nearly fell but caught myself by landing on an empty chair. The staff were very kind and helped me remove my shoe, which I appreciated. However, the outdoor setup made the dining experience very uncomfortable. We were constantly dealing with flies around our food, and no fans or coverings were provided to help with the heat or food exposure. Additionally there was a piece of hair on my friend's nachos. It was difficult to enjoy the meal in those conditions. As for the food, we ordered nachos and a carne asada plate with drinks, and while the food itself was good, the environment made it hard to enjoy it fully. The bill came out to nearly $150, and given the conditions, it felt disappointing. I would strongly recommend management: * Address the unsafe and uneven parklet flooring * Improve outdoor dining comfort (fans, pest control, etc.) * Allow indoor seating when space is available, especially in extreme heat The staff and food were great, but the dining environment needs attention to match the price point and quality of the kitchen.

    Cute little spot, very clean and open space…read more We got there right when they opened for breakfast. My husband got the chilaquiles, he has they were flavorful and the chips were crispy & everything was fresh. I ordered the enchiladas, the sauce was tasty and the chicken was delicious. I was worried it would be boiled chicken but the chicken had onions and good spices. The rice was so yummy!! The margarita was a good size, perfectly sweet and the chamoy rim was a yummy touch. We were the only people in the restaurant, they open at 9 & we got there at 9:03. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We will be back for their $6 Monday Margarita specials and to try other dishes. The food tasted pretty authentic and the price point was great. Chilaquiles with rice & beans $12 (+$6 for meat) Enchiladas $18 Margarita $6 (Monday special)

    Early this year our visit to Origen Mexican Cuisine....We decided to dine in instead of takeout,…read morethe carne en su jugo was absolutely packed with flavor, warm, savory, and the kind of dish that feels like true comfort food. Perfect! The wine-based cantarito paloma was a fun twist on a classic and beautifully presented. Great balance of citrus and spice with that Tajín rim but would prefer tequila instead of the fake stuff lol JUST SAYING... Service was friendly, not too attentive but ok, the ambiance was relaxed and catered to our kiddo by putting on a movie for him that was kind of them.... A great spot in San Dimas for some somewhat authentic mexican flavors....we would give it another shot again... see what else we try next time.
