    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!

    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.

    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 .

    We planned on going to the Alabama Cafe which we did on our trip up to Mammoth but they had a wait…read moreon our way down from the mountain so we walked over to the Totem Cafe. Although they weren't as busy as the Alabama cafe my husband and I found their food and the atmosphere to be great and actually much better than the Alabama Cafe. I ordered a vegetable omelette. The veges were plentiful and sautéed just right with a great flavor. I asked for a side of salsa and it was super good, obviously homemade and fresh. It came with home fried potatoes which were from freshly sliced potatoes (not frozen) and they were also seasoned perfectly. In addition i substituted fresh fruit for toast and it came with fresh cantaloupe, pineapple and berries, all sweet and delicious. ( Alabama cafe wouldn't allow for substitutes) My husband ordered ham and eggs and he said it was really good as it was a nice thick ham steak and again, great flavor. The cafe felt cozy and comfortable with lots of antique decor to check out. They also sell jars of honey that i plan on buying next time. We will be back for sure on our next trip to mammoth and I hope this review will draw attention to Totems as their food was great and they deserved the review.

    It's a shame when servers are not trained. It's even worse when the food is not good…read more The young lady that served us asked about drinks. Why sure I'd like a libation something rather. 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.

There was a lot going on in town, which was shocking but we also came out of the park earlier than we normally do, but amazing enough Casa Mendoza wasn't very busy and we got seated immediately, and we just had the best server that we've ever had there, she was so polite and friendly and crazy efficient with our orders and getting them back to us asap. I didn't wanna fill up on beans and rice so I just went with an à la carte of three crispy tacos, and a tamale. I told her to put them all on one plate when they came out looking like the best à la carte plate I've ever seen; almost as if it was a menu item unto itself. Everything just had so much flavor, and the tamale is definitely in the top two of best tamales I've ever had. We will continue to come here after our Sequoia adventures for hopefully many more years to come

The chips were lightly seasoned and the salsa was flavorful. The kids had a good amount of options for food which is nice, other restaurants maybe have 3 or 4. The adult portions were huge! I had the carne and shrimp burrito and the shrimp were big. I didn't know they made burritos that big anymore. We definitely would like to come back next time we're in town
