We stopped by this little Mexican market/restaurant in Mammoth and were so glad we did! We ordered…read morethe Cali burrito and queso birria tacos, and both were absolutely delicious packed with flavor and very satisfying. It's a small spot with limited seating, mostly counter seating outside the market and a small counter area inside toward the back where they prepare the food. Honestly, we loved the charm of it! It felt casual and authentic. Another huge plus, the prices were so reasonable, especially for Mammoth. Great food without the typical mountain-town prices. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

If you're in…read moreMammoth and craving Mexican food, save yourself the disappointment and go to Roberto's instead. My friend and I ordered the Blanca Paloma because we wanted a mocktail. My boyfriend said it tasted like chlorinated pool water. Honestly, that felt generous. I took two sips and immediately understood why plants die when you overwater them. If someone told me this was recycled toilet water with a splash of citrus, I'd have no evidence to dispute it. The service was fast though, so points for that. The guacamole was this restaurant's saving grace. It was fresh, delicious, and briefly convinced me the rest of the meal might turn around. It did not. We ordered the Baja ceviche and I have questions. Specifically: why was it marinating in what tasted like an entire bottle of Clamato? The seafood never stood a chance. Every bite tasted like I accidentally drank the bottom of a Bloody Mary. I ordered the chicken taco plain and it still showed up with enough diced onion to ward off vampires for the next decade. The overall flavor profile felt very "Mexican food designed by committee." It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't something I'd order again. My boyfriend ordered the carnitas and actually liked them, so credit where credit is due. The garlic shrimp was the clear winner of the table by a mile. Honestly, if you come here, order the garlic shrimp, order the guac, and call it a day. For the love of all things holy, stay away from the Blanca Paloma.

We ordered two carne asada tortas, one carne asada quesadilla, and a three-taco carne asada combo, and our total came to around $100. For that price, I expected much better quality. The carne asada was the biggest letdown. It had an unpleasant smell, and it didn't look or taste like good-quality carne asada. The beans were very bland and tasted like canned beans with melted cheese on top. The rice also lacked flavor and didn't seem freshly seasoned. Overall, the food was overpriced for the quality we received. There are much better places to eat in Mammoth. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area

The fries were AMAZING and my favorite thing there, but the sandwich was okay. The bread they used was kinda stale and it was falling apart as you eat it. As for the sandwich itself, it was decent. It was quite pricey for what it was and everything was a little dry. I do appreciate the cucumbers being added for veggies tho. Overall, this place has some items that were good and some that were just alright. The service is very kind and welcoming however!

Largest unsavory complaint is that I (and the rest of my family of 3) were incredibly sick within 30 minutes of eating here. We are San Diegan's so we have a strong Mexican food tolerance. We ate nowhere else this day so we are positive something was amiss with the food, or salsas. We ordered chicken Taquitos, Chicken quesadilla and the Chili Relleno and guacamole, and chips and salsa. NOTE: The only reason I ordered the relleno is because the "printed menu" says that it's stuffed with Manchego cheese, which is sheep's milk cheese. But it came out with cow's milk cheese. Heavily egg-battered so it was just bleh. Lastly, the food was way too expensive for the low quality.

We walked in at 7:30pm, over an hour before closing to place a take out order. There were many people sitting inside and eating or waiting for food. The staff at the register looked at us and said, "we're closed". We were surprised and asked if they were open until 9 as their open sign was lit up as well as their store hours on the door. She did not answer our questions, just shook her head at us and walked away into the kitchen. Very rude staff who can't even be bothered to answer a customer's question. Do not recommend. read more

Based on the previous high ratings, I had high expectations for this place, but it didn't live up to the hype. The food quality was poor, mostly undercooked, cold, and quite unappetizing. The ambiance added to the disappointment, as the area looked unclean, and the restroom was also quite unpleasant. On a positive note, the service was quick. read more

Menu prices are average as expected for around the area. We asked for chips and salsa to start in which the salsa had a little kick to it. We were the only ones there and the staff was attentive to our needs. You can tell this is a family ran restaurant since they were sitting near our table.

It was deeeeelicious and I highly recommend ordering that. Even my 10-year-old son really liked it and I would order this again next time. Their sauces were all good especially the chimichurri, so GOOD! The next time you are in town, give this place a try because this was the best meal during this Labor Day weekend trip.
