Tacos, Burritos, Salads, Platos, all fresh, made from scratch! The set up is similar to Chipotle Mexican Grill, and the food is really good. You chose what you want and the cook makes it right then and there in front of you. The restaurant is in the back left corner of the parking lot. A couple of miles away in Blue Jay.

Very good Mexican food (at a little higher priced than their other restaurant) at a location overlooking the valley below, from the mountains. Request a window seat for a romantic setting. We like to order one Fajitas plate and one side salad - and then Janice and I split the meals - large and tasty portions of food! On Hwy 18 five miles away.

Drinks & Nightlife
A nice place to have a glass of wine and look out over Lake Arrowhead. The restaurant and bar are inside the Arrowhead Resort and Spa. A nice activity is to wander all around the lobby as far as you can go checking out pictures of lots of old Hollywood stars that were filmed at Lake Arrowhead. During the day you can walk down to the beach and walk along the trail a short distance. You can also pay to purchase a day pass to use the pool and spa and weight room.

Sightseeing
Drive over to the north side of Lake Arrowhead and stop in at the UCLA Conference Center. This use to the the North Shore Tavern in the 1930's. Check out the old pictures on the walls. If they are not serving dinner, ask at the desk if you can go back into the rooms (past where they serve coffee/fruit) and see several rooms with really neat old Lake Arrowhead Pictures. Then walk down to the lake and take the North Shore Trail going west along Lake Arrowhead as far as you would like. You will be walking in front of multi million dollar homes. 6 miles away.

Stop by this museum to get a feel for the area's history. It's got a homegrown, grassroots feel to it. Very friendly docents eager to share any information and ask any questions you might have. No fee - call for hours of operation. There's one main room with several displays on local history - Native Americans, early visitors, logging, skiing, and an interesting time line of events. A small room at one end highlights Santa's Village. The other room on the other side of the main hall is a makeshift cinema, displaying a powerpoint presentation on movies filmed in the early years.
