Stopped here on the drive home from Mammoth with very low expectations and very high hunger, which is honestly the ideal way to discover a place like this. Fatboys Taco sits in what feels like a former gas stop area in Mojave, but it is its own thing, attached to a bar and far better than anything you would expect from a highway pit stop zone. Inside, there are bold murals on the walls that give the place real personality and make it feel intentional rather than accidental. I ordered two birria queso tacos and they were legit. Crispy, cheesy, rich, and gloriously messy in the way birria tacos are supposed to be. The kind of tacos that make you temporarily forget you still have hours of driving ahead of you. This is officially on my mental list of places worth pulling off the highway for. I will absolutely be back the next time I am coming home from Mammoth, even if I am not that hungry. read more

Delicious food, good find out in the desert. Come out and try the burrito and street tacos read more

Came here while supercharging. Carne asada nachos was the bomb! The meat taste really good and tender, right amount of cheese, beans and nachos. The Birria ramen was great too except it's a little salty. Meat taste great and tender, the soup temperature was perfect and the noodles are perfectly cooked. Service was great and inside was clean and great painting. read more

Best lunch in Mojave! We stopped here on our way back from Mammoth, and it will be our go to spot. The food is made fresh and the quality is really good. The birria flavor is on point and the queso taco had a great crunch. I've never had a chile Anaheim taco before so this was a pleasant surprise. It's pretty much a taco version of their burrito with a char grilled Anaheim chili, and it was my favorite bite with all the different flavors and textures. Staff is super friendly and the space is really clean with a brewery on the other side. read more

Needed a lunch stop while charging our car in the same shopping center. This is pretty much the only food option besides the grocery store. Upon entering, this place is simple and your typical taqueria. We arrived luckily before the busy lunch crowd. The menu is simple and displayed on a screen sitting atop the front counter. There also is a board with all the meat options. Most I required translation from the cashier who also needed to reference a cheat sheet herself! Im assuming this was pretty authentic as the meats included very exotic items such as cow tongue, cow stomach, pork stomach, pork skin, and many others i quickly dismissed. Once we placed our order we were given a table top number with stand to bring to our table. There is plenty of indoor dining. It didn't take too long for our 4 orders to arrive. The quessadillas were smaller than other taquerias I've been to, but the $6 price tag reflects such. It was a bit on the greasy side as shown in the photos. The Keto Tacos that come with two fried flattened melted cheese topped with meet, more cheese and diced onions. This definitely is not adequate to serve as an entree. The asada burrito was nothing spectacular and disappointingly was missing sour cream. All in all, this is an acceptable stop.given the limited choices in the middle of the desert. The one remarkable service was the friendly service from all the staff including the cashier, the cook and the back kitchen. read more

Food was salty, meat was cold and the meat tasted old.. I was disappointed due to most of the reviews here saying the food was good. It was clean inside however it is a little too loud in there. Not a lot of drink options. The outside smelled like sewage. I wasn't a fan. Will definitely not go back. read more

Perfect spot for a quick bite! Every person in my party ate 3 carne asada street tacos. Simple with cilantro and onions with choice of sauce. Delish! My daughter ate just a cheese quesadilla and she enjoyed it more than usual! It was so cheesy. Staff was gracious, friendly and welcoming! Bathrooms clean, the restaurant was roomy so could totally accommodate larger parties. NOTE!!! Don't dump away the dishes! They're plastic but that's what they use so there'll reusable. Glassware breaks anyway! Can't wait to go back. This will be my go-to place whenever we drive thru the area. read more

Food was delicious and when we asked about the deals the cashier (Jason) was very helpful in explaining the different meats to us. The vibe was pretty standard for a taco spot but in a very pleasant way. A small mistake was made where we were charged a dollar extra but they more than made up for it by just showing how much they cared and wanted to make it right. 10/10 spot and will definitely be coming back if we drive through so cal again! read more

We travel to Mojave on a regular basis heading up to our house in Mammoth Lakes California. We decided to try something different and give fat boy tacos a shot. I have to say the food was absolutely outstanding with a number of great choices. Bottom line is we both really enjoyed our meal and appreciated how friendly and helpful the staff was, especially the cook who wanted to make sure if we needed anything, just ask. I would highly recommend this place and we'll go there again. read more

We frequent Mojave going back-and-forth to our home in Mammoth Lakes. Needless to say, their food is outstanding. Known for their birria meat, which is the best I've ever had. Also their Carne Asada and their Al Pastor is fabulous. The cheese they use is top notch and flavorful. The chef ensures that everything is made to your liking. Very clean and tidy, and food comes up quickly if you're in a hurry, traveling through the desert going either north or south. It is by the Stater Brothers market right there as you enter into town or leave town depending upon your direction. read more

Finally tried birria ramen after so many years. Birria ramen is an innovative fusion dish that combines the rich flavors of birria, a traditional Mexican stew, with the comforting elements of Japanese The birria broth is savory, spicy, and aromatic, made with a combination of beef, spices, and chilies. It adds a deep, complex flavor to the ramen. The meat is tender and well-seasoned, providing a hearty and satisfying bite. The ramen noodles absorb the flavors of the birria broth, offering a delightful chewiness that contrasts well with the tender meat. This Birria ramen is hearty, comforting, and flavorful dish that brings together the best elements of two culinary traditions. It can be quite rich and heavy, making it a satisfying. Service was very good and restroom is super clean. They serve a lot of military workers and service members here during lunch rush hour. I'm glad there's finally a good option out here as we drive out to Sierra Nevada a lot and now we have great place to stop by. read more

The food was okay, and the teachers and staff enjoyed being treated to tacos. but what is so bad about this place is the service, as I am awaiting an invoice from May, which has never been sent via text or email to me.

A much appreciated stop on the drive home from Mammoth. Our family tried street tacos, burritos (asada and pastor), and TNT. All were delicious and we finished every bite.

I used to always eat at the taco truck whenever I could find it and I I would go to the Palmdale location quite frequently! I was obsessed with fat boys tacos! I was really excited to hear they were coming to Mojave, which was a close drive for me! I ordered some Al pastor tacos, a birria TNT and 1 quesa-birria taco with consome. It wasn't as good as all the other times I used to eat here, not sure if it was a bad day to come in, or a different cook, but it didn't have as much flavor as I remember. I used to really enjoy eating here, so I am willing to give this new location another try soon. read more
