“ Food is always delicious and staff is welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is in a small shopping center with tables inside and outside. ”
“ Yelp community suggestion for the win with this one. I randomly heard this was a top Yelp pick and wanted to check it out with the family. I'm so glad I did. This is a cute, quaint restaurant in Apple Valley. The vibe is family friendly, clean and well presented. The food?!? Top notch. I describe it as eating food at someone's house who can really cook. Well seasoned, down home, fresh and fast. We started with aguachiles and guacamole. This was my first time having aguachiles. Very spicy (you can order to your taste) but even with the spice if was so freaking good. Like a party in my mouth. And the cilantro and cucumbers provided the perfect contrast for the heat. I couldn't stop eating it! Entree: we wanted to everything. We had the garlic shrimp, enchilada with red sauce (it was a special) and shrimp and fish tacos. I ate a bit of everything. Garlic shrimp was the star. Not a fan of shells on shrimp but the sauce made up for it. Enchiladas were cheesy goodness. We tried steak and pork. Both were meaty and well constructed--not messy or too saucy. I also enjoyed the tacos. Perhaps the fish was a little big for the taco but that's an easy fix. Overall, five stars. I hope to return. Also the service was great. I felt like a regular. ”
“ Ordered the aguachiles and the camarones a la diabla. Both were authentic and delicious. The spice hits nice, leaving your mouth tingling but not overbearing. After living in Lancaster/Palmdale for 15 years, and then the Victorville area for the last 2 years, I'd say this place is the best Mexican food I've had in the high desert. Also, the staff was amazing. Genuinely kind and accommodating. Right away it felt like you were at a friend's house as they were serving you their homemade dishes. My only regret is not tipping them more. ”
“ Some places you just know are outstanding the moment you step inside. The service was personable which means alot, the ambiance and decor are also inviting and scream fun! The food though O EM GEEEEEE!!! I have a golden rule which is to never eat seafood in the desert or mountains... unless it has really solid reviews and this place gets a 10 star out of 5 review from me! Please please please open one in big bear!!! Ill be there alot!!! I had fish ceviche, shrimp tacos and an order of oysters... oh and a michelada. All were fuego af!!! Every bite was a pleasure to my tastebuds! I even got the slight euphoric feeling I get when consuming really healthy good food... er well the oysters michelada amd company probably had a lil something to do with that but heck yeah... I literally love this place! PAMPA-RARA is the place you have to go that you have not been to yet (trust me) and if you have been, you know and you will be back soon!!! Vamos!!! ”
“ The food tasted homemade and the lady taking orders made you feel like she was welcoming you into her home. So sweet! Food was HOT, fresh and truly delicious. We ate it so fast we didn't get a picture unfortunately. I had the Garlic Shrimp with beans and rice. The garlic butter sauce over the rice was 10 out of 10. (It is peel and eat... fyi) my husband had the Carne asada fries. Both plates were delicious. I wish we lived closer!!! We would be back if we did! ”
