    Asada, Adovada, and chicken tacos

    We stopped at this food truck to get tacos for dinner when in Lone Pine and we were pleasantly surprised. You can get your food to go or there a couple tables in front of the truck where you can sit and enjoy it. They were out of the shrimp tacos. We got three tacos each couple asada, couple adovada, one carnitas and one chicken and all of them were delicious and filled us up. The red and green salsas were spicy but adding a few drops in each enhanced the flavors. Highly recommend giving them a try when in the vicinity.

    Wow wow and wow! If you want food in Lone Pine, this is the place to go. One of the best carne asada tacos I've ever had, and I've had a lot. So flavorful and juicy. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. This Taco Truck needs to be recognized.

    Carne Asada buritto
    Davey G.

    If you like fat burritos and friendly service then this is your new Mexican food stop in Lone Pine. After a 10 hour drive I stopped at Castro's based on all the Yelp reviews..... Can confirm a 5-Star experience The carne asada burrito reminded me of a bus. It's heavy and loaded. Very fresh and flavorful meat, beans, rice, onions, and cilantro. I asked for no salsa on the burrito and had a side of hot sauce which was delicious. Very friendly, fast, and delicious. There are plenty of clean tables under the patio cover to dine in. Love this place, I'll definitely stop here on roadtrips

    The tacos de asada and adobada are super flavorful
    JC M.

    What brought me here were all the excellent reviews. This place did not disappoint! As soon as I got near the food truck, I could smell the goodness in the air. Brought back childhood memories during my family's trip to deep Mexico. The tacos de asada and adobada are super flavorful, but the asada takes the cake. It tastes like it was grilled and not cooked over the griddle. The salsas are really good and bring the taco to a whole different level. I will definitely make sure to visit them every time I drive down the 395.

    Best taco shop ever!

    We stopped here on a hunch as we noticed several big rigs pulled over and the drivers headed here. This place did not disappoint! Best road burrito we've ever had!

    Incredibly delicious burrito- coming from a San Diegan! Carne asada cooked incredibly well, super tasty. Solid tortilla. Good green and red salsa. Very nice service . Cash only and Venmo. I'll definitely come back next time I drive through .

She came back and said in fact they don't serve Margarita's. She said she had no idea, and that she didn't even live in the area. What does where she lives have anything to do with anything? I don't want to be mean, but ?? I ordered the 1/2 rack of these "Famous Ribs." My hubby the Flat Iron steak. We asked for salads as the choice instead of soup. We wait and wait...starving after having hiked all over the Alabama Hills. It is customary to get the salad ahead of time, but this young lady was doing other things. Suddenly after 15 min. we got our meals with no salad. She was getting ready to walk away when I asked about the salads. She went and got them not really concerned about it, and was not really understanding. So onto these ribs! I'm traumatized by these things that were so overcooked and dry. What on earth was done to these things? It seems they were boiled, then frozen, then defrosted, and microwaved? Who knows!! I do know this. I have been making ribs for a long time. For the love of God you don't need to kill the pig 15 times! My hubbies Flat Iron Steak was alright. Not completely hideous. Needless to say, there are not many choices in the Lone Pine. This is not a choice I would ever venture to again if in the area.

The ones tucked away on a street corner or…read morehidden along a U.S. highway, where you hesitate for a moment before deciding whether to stop? Then you give them a chance and end up completely blown away. Glenn's Taqueria is definitely one of those places for me. About 4-5 years ago, I was driving from Reno, Nevada, to Los Angeles via US-395. Since there aren't many places to stop along that route, we pulled over at Glenn's food truck because it had a large shoulder area where we could park safely. We ordered a few tacos, and they were so good that I immediately ordered burritos to take with me. Later that night, after eating those burritos, my only regret was not ordering a few more. Ever since then, I've looked forward to driving this route again just so I could stop here. Today, as I left Reno heading toward Los Angeles, I already knew Glenn's Taqueria would be one of my stops. As soon as I pulled over, five other cars arrived as well, and the place suddenly got very busy. Despite the rush, Glenn handled everything quickly and efficiently. I ordered beef and chicken tacos to eat on the spot, along with beef and chicken burritos for later that night and the next morning. Just like I remembered, everything was delicious. I can't wait to come back again. This place absolutely deserves 5 stars, and I'm not surprised to see that nearly 100 other people felt the same way.

    Fantastic food and experience!…read more Tried on a whim after a day at Sequoia, not expecting too much after seeing the Yelp stars, but all expectations were blown out of the water. Staff were immediately welcoming, personable to talk with, patient, and helpful not just to us but all other guests around! We sat at one of the many outdoor patio tables, which made for exactly the relaxing mood we needed. The complimentary fresh chips and salsa were finished before the waiter returned to take our order. Both are clearly made fresh, with the chips being very visibly cut, fried, and seasoned and the salsa being refreshing and slightly spicy. The wet burrito supreme was filled with tender, juicy beef shreds and topped with a red sauce packed with flavor. The chicken and mole was a delightful surprise to see on the menu, and it blew our minds! The thigh, leg, and breast chunk were wonderfully tender but still firm enough to not just become part of the sauce, which was packed with flavor, smokiness, and richness. The beef flautas were admittedly a little hard and the weakest plate on the table, but it was compensated by the rice and beans being nicely seasoned and cooked to the perfect texture/consistency.

    Casa Mendoza is one of the few restaurant options outside of Sequoia National Park and overall, I'd…read moresay the service was friendly, but the food runs pretty pricey. Serving sizes on the burritos looked pretty hefty and they do have complimentary chips and salsa. Can get a little crowded on busy weekends, but they do have outdoor seating available as well. They have a shared parking lot with the small grocery store and pizza place next door. Camarones al Mojo de Ajo (2.75/5): The sides of rice and especially beans were actually quite good, but the shrimp themselves were blasted and just overcooked. Rubbery shrimp just isn't the vibe and it's a pretty expensive plate for how much protein you get. Fish Taco (3/5): Objectively, they aren't bad. The fish is flaky and not overcooked, but I was expecting fried fish tacos, not just slabs of tilapia on some corn tortillas. Caldo de Res (4.5/5): Unlike the other items, this soup was INCREDIBLE. Light and perfectly savory. The carrots are soft and the beef ribs are almost melt in your mouth fatty and tender. Would recommend this dish 10x over.
