“ The food was delicious and the service was top notch. So many different items to chose from and everyone enjoyed their meal. We celebrated our son's birthday on our way home from Mammoth and the staff sang happy birthday to him and we had flan that was also VERY delicious. Stop here to eat to and from Mammoth! ”
“ Camarones al mojo de ajo just the way I like them! Great service! They go the extra mile to assist. ”
“ Taly took great care of us, the service was excellent. It's so helpful that they mark the vegan options. Two types of vegan beans and even white rice to make a veggie burrito. The non-vegan in my group enjoyed their chicken enchiladas. The green sauce and starting salsa is a 10/10. ”
“ We were at the library and saw this restaurant from across the way. Came here for the molcajete. We had one a while ago and we are on the search for another one that is just as good. The service was great. Our server was so nice and helpful. Everyone said try all the salsas. They were ok. I thought they would be a bit fresher. I would like to try them when they are just made so I can see how good they are. The molcajete was good and filling. I would try this place again. ”
“ Overall, a decent option for Mexican food in Bishop. There was no wait for seating, the service was decent, and the food came quickly. Chips & salsa are complementary, the hot salsa had a small kick but was not very flavorful. I ordered the taquito plate, which was a hearty portion and I enjoyed it. The rice and refried beans were flavorful, and the taquitos were satisfyingly crunchy. I think the shredded beef could have been more tender, but overall it was good. I would like to come back to try another meal! ”
“ The El Borracho burrito is 100!! Superba!! Tilapia Tacos also good. Good beer selection. Wonder staff. Fresh and hot food. Salsas are not bueno!!!! ”
“ Stopped here on our way up to Mammoth. My son HAD to have a cheeseburger and we found this walking by. In we went, service was quick and we immediately got a basket of chips and salsa. Both entrees we got were piping hot and delicious. My son had his kids cheeseburger and fries. Fries were perfect and the burger juice and yummy. We definitely will return if we ever need a pit stop next trip. ”

One standout dish that I can't recommend enough is their signature carne asada.

With its authentic flavors, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere, it has all the ingredients for a truly exceptional meal. ”
“ Stopped by this place before heading home. It looked really empty but the sign said open. We parked in back and walked through the door. It felt strange walking through the office area, storage and kitchen but the cooks waived us through to the tables. We started with some chips and salsa. The various salsas were amazing. Try the chipotle and the creamy green salsa. Yum! I was torn between the Huevos rancheros and the Chile Colorado omelette but I chose the rancheros with beans as my side. It was good but I'm still wondering how there chile Colorado was. Hubby got the chorizo and egg plate with half hashbrowns, half beans as his side. Also good. It was super cheap! $13 each! Great service, friendly staff, not busy. Try it if you are driving through Bishop. ”
