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

Castro's Taco Stand - Carne Asada Burrito (aka 14er Fuel) - Mexican Near Me - Lone Pine, California

See all

Pork adovado tacos was amazing, beef carnitas molitas were pretty good but the better style I think. Cash only!

Best real Mexican food in Lone Pine, and a bargain at that. Hotter than two rats effing in a wool sock most days in LP, and the salsas here easily match it. At least there's shade and a couple picnic tables. read more

These tacos were big and delicious what s great hidden spot. Have stopped here twice on my way to Mammoth . Great service especially when everything else is closed at night read more

Great tacos! The meat was just a little dry, IMO, so I can't give it 5 stars, but I'm a huge fan of these taco trucks in town! It was very convenient being adjacent to the gas station where I could grab any type of drink and had access to a restroom. I grabbed a taco variety plate, and they were all good. Honestly, I liked the tacos from across the street a little better, but I would stop here again :) read more

Friendly service!! We always stop at this truck when we are coming back from Lake Tahoe. Tacos are the best from the area, I love the asada, shrimp and cabeza. read more

On a road trip to Death Valley and stumbled across this little gem on a Sunday evening. We were in our van so it was perfect. We got tacos and the truck and ate in the van cuz it was a little chilly out. All the tacos we had were delicious. read more

Driving from mammoth, an inexplicable après-ski hunger arose as we approached our usual gas station in lone pine. We had resolved to skip the usual BBQ in bishop, but the allure of warm street tacos overcame us (it was very cold). We ended up getting 16 tacos. four of Carne Asada, carnitas, pollo, and lingua. We had a street taco virgin with us, and taco story short this establishment blew our minds. All the tacos were delicious, and after digging into the Asada, pollo, and carnitas, we had the pleasant surprise of getting lingua (a mishap in the kitchen) that ended up being quite delicious. 3/5 of our party remarked this humble taco truck as the tacos of their lives. Take advantage friends, you only live once. read more

Very reliable spot to stop on 395 runs up to the snow. After going here a bunch of times, including yesterday, it was time post a review. Carnitas and Carne Asada are both very good. read more

Drove past this food cart and saw a line of people standing out in the cold. Knew it had to be delicious. Promptly went around the block and joined the line. Ordered carnitas tacos, chicken tacos and a carne asada quesadilla. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Almost ordered more food it was so tasty. If you're driving through town, stop and treat yo self!! read more

Eat here, dummy. Just add some salt, toppings n salsa; ur good to go. The taco asada is my fave, n don't skip the nachos-- seriously. Yummers. Oh and fresh homemade tortillas on Sundays $3.50/dozen. read more

Castro's Taco Stand - Mexican Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Good Mulinas and sauces, price was right, selection was scant, but convenience could not be beat. Friendly staff.

After a long day hiking and traveling through Death Valley, Castro's tacos hit the spot. I ordered carne asada tacos and expected them to be small, so I ordered 6. In reality they were stuffed to the max with meat, so I could only eat 3. They let you put on your own toppings as you like, which was also appreciated. I will be back on my next trip up the 395 for sure! read more

I had three shrimp tacos and they were amazing. The shrimp were fresh, juicy, and luscious. Husband had a veggie burrito and my parents each had a carne asada burrito. We were told this was the best place in town and it did not disappoint. Support local family business!! read more

I live in Los Angeles where thr famous King Taco is but this place serve one of the best taco I ever tasted. I can say poace beats king taco. Tasty meat, fresh veggies on top and homemade salsa, cannot ask for more. There is salsa section with 3 different salsas. Their hot one is really hot. Really really really hot and will make you cry and you won't be able to tpuch anything with your hands after you touch the salsa. Make sure to wash your hands with soap befor you rub your eyes or your dog. read more

This place deserves 10 stars!!! Fantastic little find in the middle of the drive to mammoth. Excellent homemade tacos with fresh ingredients. We will be returning on the way home!! read more

Stopped here with my brothers on the way home to San Diego from Twin Lakes.... damn, great food! My bros got a carne asada and a chicken burrito. I got one carne asada and one adovada taco. Best tacos I've had in awhile! Bros said the same about their burritos. 10/10 would go again read more

Just ate at Castro's on our way home from Mammoth! Wow.. food was amazing. Green creamy salsa is really good. Tortillas are freshly made and the carne asada was tender and delicious. Rice and beans were authentic and pricing is very fair. Will definitely be back! read more

This is the taco truck located in the SE corner of the Mobil gas station/mini mart on the north end of town. I had the adobada and carne asada tacos and then added extras like guacamole, salsa, lime, and cabbage from the condiment box located near the front of the truck. Not much of a seating area, only one plastic table and some rickety chairs. The food was good, cheap, and fast. Not sure how it compares to the other taco truck across the street, but it sure beats the other fast food options in town. read more

If you're looking for some good eats on 395 this might be the best. I've been traveling up and down 395 for the past 19 years and I'm bummed I Just found Castro's! But glad I did!!! read more

After our Mount Whitney hike we were starving and tacos sounded perfect. We rolled up to the place across Mobil but they weren't there. I called the number and they said they'd be there in 20 minutes. Sure enough in 20 minutes the truck pulled up and started taking orders shortly. We ordered a shrimp, chicken, and carne asada. The meat was well marinated and served traditionally with two tortillas. They had freshly sliced onions with cilantro, radish slices, and grilled green chili offered at their salsa bar in addition to 4 salsas - spicy verde, creamy guacamole, regular salsa and another that I didn't try but I'm sure it was great. I finished my two tacos (shrimp and chicken) and before my friend could finish her carne asada taco I had already ordered another chicken taco. There was a large party after us and the chef noticed the patio furniture was directly in the sun so he came out and moved the table into the shade for them. So attention to detail is apparent in more than just the food, it's in the service itself. Even something as simple as the chopped onions wouldn't seem like something worthy of a review, but it was obvious that these onions were fresh because they had that nice juicy bite to them that could make or break a taco. Definitely come to this taco truck when you're passing through Lone Pine! read more

A lot of people get this place confused with dos hermanos (they're across the street). Both are good but this is the place I stop at which should say something. read more

Carne Asada burrito is massive and delicious. Great options and variety of meats to have tacos, burrito, nachos, quesadillas. Highly recommend - beats any fast food in the area. read more

Tasty and easy. The menu was limited to tacos burritos and quesadillas, but that made it easy to decide. Perfect stop on the way back from Mammoth. Veggie burrito upon request, although I can't guarantee the beans or tortilla were lard free. read more

Castro's Taco Stand - Mexican Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Good tacos. They weren't dry for me. Quite juicy actually. Bigger than L.A. tacos...so watch the quantity. If you eat 4-5 tacos, 3 is satisfying. read more

Our family stopped for some tacos and burritos on our way to Mammoth. They were delicious . We go to Mammoth once a year, and this will be our new traditional stop over. read more

They take a lot of time and care in their tacos. We had them driving back from a Mammoth ski trip, and floored by how good they were. Fresh, hand made corn tortillas on the tacos, extremely well seasoned meat, and friendly people working the stand. Would definitely recommend even going out of your way for it, and would absolutely stop by again next time I'm heading through lone pine. read more

Pretty good. Fast, and easy parking. Great prices, and burritos are huge (2 kids can split one no problem). Asada was a little salty...but service was friendly. If you're just passing through and want a burrito or tacos, give it a try. read more

We just sampled the carnitas, pollo, and asada tacos. Probably top five of my life. Haven't found tacos this good in Portland yet.

Tony & Caroline - Being a town local my wife and I just love going to Castro's for dinner. We both agree one of The Best Place's to Eat here in Lone Pine hands down. They serve Authentic Mexican Food at Very Reasonable Prices. If your hungry and passing through town, Castro's is a must stop. read more

Just got back from Whitney. Starving. Late. Castros Taco stand in the Mobil Mart lot was the perfect fix!
