Hortencia’s at the cliff hanger - This is traditional SoCal Mexican complete with giant Micheladas and Margaritas. What really makes this place special is the view, the restaurant literally hangs over the mountain overlooking the entire San Bernardino Basin. We love it at sunset or just after it snows!
