Best Mexican restaurant in the inland empire home made tortillas will highly recommend 10/10
Wowsers!!! This is my All-Time Favorite Mexican Restaurant in all the 48 states that I have visited. This is run by a really nice Mexican Family, and I am sure using some of the best handed down recipes that have been perfected over many years! I have found a few pics of my favorite dishes I would always get, and I will add more once I can find them. They are in Fontana, CA, right about a mile off of the I-10. Parking is very limited, but, I normally always found a place to park, even though I am in an 18 Wheeled Car! Eunice was my normal waitress, and I can't remember the names of the rest at the time I was going there, but Eunice was the daughter, of the family run business. Hope I am spelling her name correct. I am sure she is still working hard to bring the hungry people who come in for the Absolute Best Mexican Food available, and I have tried Mexican food in many different states, and I can tell you without any doubt, La Cascada is Simply The Best! Period, Bar None! Once you try it, you will be a Loyal Fan For Life! The negative for me, is they serve soda in cans, so there is no free refills, however, the service is good, the Food is Amazing, so, that does not bother me too much... PS I will add more images when I find them, as I had several favorites, and I am not seeing my Caldo Siete Mares right now. Also, their homemade tortillas are Awesome!
I’ve been coming here for a bit and it’s just delicious comfort food , everything is fresh and cocked to order they make home made tortillas , and it has a real home feel to it and the staff is amazing
First time eating here. Our server Veronica was absolutely great. Food quality was excellent with a homemade feel. Will definitely be back.
La Cascada is a total vibe! The food is bursting with flavor—fresh, authentic, and cooked to perfection. I had the chicken plate and it was juicy, well-seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. The best part? They serve warm, handmade tortillas that take the whole meal to the next level. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!
