    One of the best stops on your way in or out of Yosemite. The food is fresh and filling and the…read moreservice is spectacular! I love the diner style interior and the salsa bar. It feels complete and I LOVED their aguachile here!!! Spicy, zesty, chilled, and generous with the onions and cucumbers and avocado. It took longer to come out for sure, but when I tasted how fresh it was, it totally made sense. Each bite was humongous since I needed each component to make it perfect and I am so glad they gave enough toppings to complete each bite. AVOCADO IS NEEDED FOR SURE, the creaminess calmed down the spice and it was just delectable. It was so spicy that I had some stomach pain after, but the shrimp was also definitely basically completely raw as well. Take that as you will but every shrimp was perfectly deveined and this aguachile was a 1000/10. Thank you to the cooks and cashiers here! All super nice. We asked for more tostadas and they gave it to us free of charge. When the cashier told the cook, he was like "IS IT DELICIOUS" and we shouted across the restaurant that IT IS SUPER DELICIOUS. This will be my first pick when I go back! Most people got the burritos and stuff and those looked bomb too.

    Food is amazing!! Very Friendly staff!!…read more We got a lot of things: Chili verde breakfast (9/10) Asada tacos 10/10 5 tacos (asada= 8.5/10...... tripas (crunchy) = 9/10....

    Such a great find in Oakhurst. No wonder the ratings are so good…read more Family's owned and mommas soups are the bomb. We had green pozole and WOW. Both of us then had tacos, and I had a Gordita. All so darn good. Wish we had this good of Mexican food at home.

    Plazuelas is a great Mexican joint in Oakhurst that we visited while in town on our trip to…read moreYosemite! We arrived for dinner around 5:30 after calling and confirming that they would be able to make a meal to accommodate for our daughter's allergies (she is allergic to wheat, dairy, egg, and nuts). They were very helpful and accommodating when trying to figure out a meal for her ( we ended up just getting some shredded chicken and rice for her which was great!) we were seated immediately which was great. It did appear the closer to 6 it got the more time it would take to get seated, there was a line when we were leaving! Sadly, chips are not complimentary here. You have to pay $4 for them which is a bit of a bummer. What I will say is that the chips are delicious and worth it- they weee fresh and truly tasted so good. I opted to get the enchiladas de salsa roja with chicken as my protein and my husband ordered the bistec ranchero. Both meals were delicious. The service was also very friendly. I would definitely recommend checking out Plazuelas while in Oakhurst if looking for delicious Mexican food!

    What an amazing find while we are staying in Mariposa. We went to the Giant Sequoia's and on our…read moreway we stopped at this "pre" planned Yelp spot. Parking is pretty easy. They have overflow towards the left when you drive up the incline. You wait to be seated. We were offered an inside table but requested a patio table instead. They accommodated us but it took an additional 10-15 minutes. It was WORTH the wait. The patio is nicely shaded and offers a better experience than say..... Denny's. I ordered their "fantastic" chicken fried steak, 2 eggs over easy, 2 pancakes, and country potatoes. Everything was great! Our server was an awesom dude. You will know it's him when he addresses you as "Amigo." Love you man! Coffee was good and strong and they offered shelf stable 1/2 & 1/2. They have Tobasco, Cholulu, and I believe he said Tapatio. I went with the Cholulu and it was an awesome addition to the CFS. We loved this place. It fueled us up for the grueling hike we did. 5* !!!!! So glad I scoped this place out on Yelp before our trip.

    I'm not a big fan of Indian tacos. They're not really Indian, considering that Native people would…read morenever have seen most of the ingredients until European settlers arrived. And most places that sell Indian tacos use the cheapest version of those ingredients they can find, cheap ground beef, discount, pre-shredded cheese and iceberg lettuce. They just seem a little gimmicky. Where this place shines is their jams and jellies. Those are amazing!!! Homemade, flavorful and delicious the jams are the reason you need to swing by! We bought a few jars and with every spoonful we revel in their wonderfulness while simultaneously mourning the fact that we're one precious serving closer to an empty jar. Go get a bunch of jam! And if you accidentally have a mediocre "taco" on the way out, then so be it.

    This place had been on my Yelp "to try" list for ages, so I was super stoked to finally be able to…read moregive them a try. Finding the taco stand was hard. I was expecting a taco truck in a casino parking lot, but this was more like a deluxe wooden shack on private property. Prior to this, I'd only had 'Indian tacos' once before, at a Native American cultural day at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. That one time was pretty much enough to make me a fan for life. Frybread tacos are all about the frybread. Truth be told, the filings don't matter. (As I write this, I can imagine a future full of gourmet 'Indian' tacos on Instagram, but...) The tacos are filled with cheap, super basic ingredients like full fat ground beef, iceberg lettuce, beef tomatoes, and "Mexican cheese blend." It's basically "white people taco night" on frybread. To me, having grown up in extreme poverty, these tacos taste like surviving poverty. They taste like a kind of soul food that you can only understand if you've lived it. (So if I see any too-privileged people knocking stars off because these tacos are exactly what they're supposed to be, I'll be shook.) When I saw the menu, I couldn't believe how cheap it all was. I'm pretty sure they need to raise their prices. I ordered a taco and a burrito (and got completely stuffed) for less than ten bucks. The ladies who work here all seemed super sweet. It didn't take long to get my order, and, in case this isn't clear by now, it was so good. I loved it. I plan to come back with friends.
