I must thank IE-Dude for reminding me of this excellent Restaurant located in what used to be turn 9 of the Riverside International Raceway. They had just finished building the new Riverside Records office when the Acapulco opened its doors to the public. And being so different than the traditional fare of Mexican food places found in the Moreno Valley, the Acapulco was an immediate hit. They are also fashioned after another restaurant, 'On the Border' being owned by the same group, there foods are similar, but yet they offer different specialties. The Shrimp scampi served with a green chili Verde sauce is excellent, and the Lobster and Abalone Bisque is equally some of the best Mexican sea food I have ever eaten. A friend of mine who was out at the court house recently stopped by and had one of their new signature dishes, the salmon grilled to perfection and served with sherry butter souse, also includes a shrimp barque served on a bed of Mexican rice and a crab Enchilada. A bit pricey at over $17.00 it was magnificent and Bob is hard to please. On our next trip out there I plan on trying this item.
No longer just a Bikers hangout, 'Chads' in Big Bear Valley has once again become what it was always meant to be

A late night bar and grill with local bands jammin into the wee hours of the morn.
'Chad’s' has survived the wars, earthquakes, and the ups and downs. Rollin’ into the Village on a hot summer Saturday afternoon, you can park your Harley in one of the "bikes only" spots But it wasn’t always this way. In fact, that was probably the furthest thing from the minds of Fred and Blanche Chadbourne as they arrived in the sleepy little town of Pineknot for their honeymoon in April of 1918. Coming up from the valley heat to the cool air of the upper forests, the newlyweds quicky fell in love with the area and decided they would open a café in "town," which back then was out in the middle of the forest by a man made dam, the area known today as the Village. 
alongside all the other shiny hogs and join in the showoff brawdness, dancing, and serious pool playing going on inside Chad’s. Over a cold beer you can swap stories with tourists and locals alike about the world situation, the Lakers, or the drought in Big Bear. Chad’s today is truly an international gathering spot, at least by mountain standards.

will find you happy, well fed and ready for the next day as we like to say... 'On the Border' Cantina, sports bar and family restaurant is another of those themed restaurants that you want to return to as often as you can. they are a nationwide chain and one of there establishments just happens to be right down the street from me on Foothill in the Target Center. Open in 2002 'On the border' has been a favorite of the entire family ever since. There lunch specials which last from 11:am to 4:PM are priced for the person or persons on the fly and don't have time to sit in the sports bar and have to get back to work.
