"Immediately walking in me and my husband were greeted by not only staff but also customers too, which I always love. Let's me know the atmosphere and customer service is great. We were seated right away and the decorations of the restaurant were magnificent, it was cozy and I believe the the benches were hand painted, they were beautiful. The guy that took our order had nothing but his memory (no pen or pad) to take down our order. He took the order, which was combination plate w/ 1 ground beef taco, 1 chile rellano, rice, beans and soup or salad (I ordered Albondigas soup), and a steak and eggs breakfast with homemade fries and beans (but my husband substituted beans for rice) and 1 Churro, which the guy asked if I wanted it to go or when the food came, I requested the Churro with the food, so he then went to go put it in. He came right back and asked what was the other item I asked for on the combination plate (chile rellano) and went to go put in the order again at that time. While waiting for the food, they brought freshly made tortilla chips and salsa. The food came out in a timely manner. The ground beef tacos had no seasoning, chilie rellano was very soggy, the crust on the outside and the chile on the inside, the homemade fries was great and the steak was juicy and cooked to perfection. After finishing my food I then realized I was missing my soup that came with the combination plate that I ordered with the gentleman that had the good memory. They brought it to go instead since I was leaving, not sure if I only received 1 meatball in my Albondigas cause I HAD to get it to go, or if that's how it would've came if I got it served at the table also. We finished up and asked for the bill, the lady let us know she would take our card to pay the bill. I had no understanding on why they would just bring the bill so we could see it, but I trusted them, my total was $50 and some change. Upon leaving and making it home, I noticed I never received my Churro that I also ordered with the guy that had the good memory. Overall the customer service was still great, before leaving me and one of the other waitresses exchange some good cooking tips and secrets because the beans (I dislike beans, but I will try them) was a 10/10 I'll go back just for the beans, I thought I was eating meat 🤤. Will be back again for the beans and customer service, 5/10."

"Came here after watching a documentary on Netflix. Taco Bell's idea of crunchy taco came from this place. We ordered the combination plate which has a crunchy taco, a tostada, rice and beans. It came with a cup of soup. The soup was called cocido. The soup was great. It had a beef chunk celery, zucchini and carrots. The chips and salsa served were delicious. The ground beef taco from my order was good. Nothing special in my opinion. The tostada was good too. Nothing special in my opinion once again. I personally like the soup and chips and salsa better. I would come again."

"Mitla Cafe is a landmark in San Bernardino. Dining room is nicely decorated, though it is not a fancy place. There is an event venue attached/next door for special occasions. Their chile relleno is amazing. Service was great today."

"Really great food. I will always recommend their ground beef tacos. Apparently they are the ones that inspired taco bell! However the service could use some improvement as it was a little slow. Thats why I am rating 4 stars. Otherwise I highly recommend Mitla Cafe."

"The food is okay. Nothing special. If you go during breakfast they serve a breakfast burrito. It's not the menu you have to ask for it. The place can get crowded at times. My advice is to go right when they open. It's quiet and empty for the first hour. The waiters are attentive."
