Love this place, taco truck! in Lone Pine conveniently on the way to and from Mammoth Lakes. have stopped here at least three times now and we (me and two kids) love stopping here for a great taco, burrito or quesadilla. The carnitas are truly delicious, marinated and fried and tasty crunchy. The burritos are huge will fill you up, plenty of meat in the combination with rice bean and all the fixings you want in a burrito which is easily eaten on the road or the road side picnic tables. Kids raved about the adovada burrito and chicken burrito and chicken quesadilla And they have Mexican coke! now only if they had cane sugar Dr. Pepper! hint hint. Service was good and the ambience of a taco truck is great! read more

Ordered 8 asada beef tacos for the road. The beef tasted very fresh and was well-seasoned, and the greens and onions were juicy and fresh as well. One small downside was that the beef was a bit dry--if it had been juicier, the tacos would have been fantastic. The service was friendly, and the food was prepared and served quickly. read more

Food was just what was needed at the time. In a food dessert it can be difficult to find good food. Their tacos are deliciously flavored and fresh. Truly enjoyed them. And the two folks running the place were sweet and attentive. read more

Solid tacos, sweet lady in the truck, nice view of Main Street and a tamarindo drink. What's not to like?

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 read more

I love their tacos. Everytime I visit here, I have to get my taco fix. They are very friendly and their service is great.

Delicious. Excellent Mexican food. Carne asada tacos and chicken burrito. Red salsa perfectly spicy hot. Will go back

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. read more

The shrimp mulitas (crispy grilled & cheesy-yum!) and shrimp taco were excellent. My husband enjoyed his chicken tacos. Their green salsa is super flavorful and very spicy. The red salsa is also tasty and not quite as spicy. There's a convenient outdoor seating area. We will definitely eat here again the next time we're in Lone Pine. read more

We got chicken burritos and they were so good. Definitely recommend that place if you're driving home from Mammoth.

Finger lickin good tacos!! Perfect as they should be. Nice people and fast service, would definitely come back for more!

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! read more

Castro's Taco Stand - Best taco shop ever! - Mexican Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Cash only! The tacos were loaded with tasty meat! I had asada, cabeza, and adovada and they were all fantastic!! Super flavorful with a good spicy kick to them. Wish I had gotten a photo of them but we were so hangry they all disappeared before I could. Unfortunately we got there during dinner rush which took our tacos 40 mins to get after ordering. This was my only issue. I'm definitely coming back and hoping the lines are shorter. If not for the wait, this place is easily a 5 star taco shop. We initially drove right past this place as its a little hard to find, but going North its a left turn just before the Mobile gas station. Theres a few parking spots in the back but also very hard to find. read more

Amazing tacos! We stopped here for dinner and had the carne asado and pollo tacos, (unfortunately they were out of adobada) and they were delicious. Coming from San Diego where we are spoiled with great array of taco shops this definitely met the bar and I would highly recommend! Their green and red salsa was also off the hook. Will be back on our next trip! read more

Came here last night around 6 pm and really enjoyed the food. Quick heads up--they are cash only so come prepared. My fiance and I ordered the shrimp burrito and a shrimp quesadilla. We waited no longer than 5-7 minutes even though there seemed to be a handful of people before us. The shrimp was very tasty and they are very generous with how much shrimp that they give you. My favorite thing about this meal is that their green sauce is a little hotter than your everyday taco truck. This one definitely hit the spot in terms of heat. I came to Alabama Hills for the weekend and of all the food places that we had, I think this one was my personal favorite. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely come back here. read more

came here after having an awful experience with the pizza place up the street.

One of the most delicious burritos i've ever had. seriously I cannot say enough great things about this place!!!!!! read more

These are the best tacos ever. We tried the marinated pork and the chicken tacos. The red salsa is the bomb. read more

5 Stars all the way!!! Their tacos are so fresh and so flavorful! The hot sauce is also right on point! Tortilla is lightly grilled before they put the meat in! Oh... if only They are closer to where I live... Pollo Tacos: one of the best chicken tacos I've had, they put like 1/4 lbs of chicken in your taco, meat is freshly cooked, you can taste their perfect seasoning every bite with their unforgettable hot sauce. I'm very satisfied with this taco. Chicken Mulita: their tortilla was perfectly toasted to crisp filled with cheese and flavorful chicken. The juicy chicken paired with mouthful of cheese is to die for. I could not ask for better food for $4.5!! Shrimp taco: shrimps are fresh and meaty! Compared to chicken, shrimp is not as phenomenal. But you will not be disappointed with their jumbo shrimp and creamy sauce! Lastly the asada taco: although this is not as shiny as the other ones, the asada was cooked to perfection! Besides, the owners just seem so nice I can't help but fall in love with their food truck. I hope to come back soon! read more

We ordered the carne asada tacos. There was so much tender, juicy carne asada that I made 2 tacos from one. The tortillas were nicely grilled, with the desirable brown toasty spots. The rice was fluffy, properly made Mexican rice accompanied with frijoles refritos. It was the best Mexican food we have ever had in Lone Pine. I am having a hard time remembering any place where we live that has food as good. We will definitely go back next time we visit Lone Pine. Excelente! read more

Carne asada tacos were amazing! Tons of meat and unbelievable flavor! Must stop if you are in Lone Pine!

A must stop for Mexican food. I live in el centro miles from the Mexican border and hands down a place to stop by if you want a real Mexican burrito. I personally tried the carnitas and the carne asada. The guacamayo and salsas (red and green) are delicious. Not only was the food delicious, the prices reasonable bur the customers service awsome. Thanks......... PS..... The burritos are "reportados" read more

Castro's Taco Stand - I've had a lot of tacos in my day but these might just be the BEST ones I e ever ha. - Mexican Near Me - Lone Pine, California

The Beatles once sang "Happiness is a warm gun." For me, happiness is a warm burrito. We placed our orders and stood in a light snowfall. Just when I thought we'd lost our minds, I was handed a brown sack with my burrito inside. It must have weighed four pounds. Carnitas, beans, rice, onions, and cilantro harmonize so well. My son ordered his with carne asada, and he attests to its quality. A great value for the price. There is simply no other place to eat in Lone Pine (well, perhaps the Frosty Chalet up the street). Shame on you for eating at the chain store fast foods. read more

Stopped here on a road trip and wow this place was so good. I got an asada burrito and it for sure one of the largest burritos I've ever gotten, the salsa they used inside was pretty spicy and tasted very good my fav part of the burrito. My wife got shrimp tacos which were very good. She also ordered a veggie taco which wasn't something in the menu I don't think, but the lady was very nice and named off a couple of things she could put together on a taco for her. 10/10 great place read more

I got four tacos total: two of the adobada, a pollo, and an asada. I also got to try a little bit of the asada quesadilla! They were all super delicious, with all of the various meats extremely juicy. I was pretty shocked by the number of great taco stands in the tiny town of lone pine, and castro's was no exception! read more

Stopped here Friday night on our way to camp. We were suspicious of the San Diego reviews so we had to check it out for ourselves--it did not disappoint! We ordered a carnitas, adobada, and cabeza taco. The carnitas was moist and delicious and the adobada was very flavorful (my first time trying!). My boyfriend LOVED the cabeza (cheek) taco (I did not try it). They let you add your own onion, cilantro, lime, and salsa on the taco which I liked a lot. We also had a carne asada burrito that was huge and delicious and powered our hike to the summit of White Mountain. read more
