    Rice and beans
    Bri G.

    On behalf of our Community, I just wanted to say thank you to the owners & the lady that runs the register! We are soooo Appreciative & grateful to have such a Quality Restaurant up here in the Mountains. The food is always A+, and delivered super quick. My favorite options are the Flautas with rice and Beans for $12.50, and the Chile Verde. The salsa doesn't have much of a kick but that's ok. I bring my toddler and she runs around playing on the patio, and everyone is really friendly. Thank you!!!

    This is such a little gem of a restaurant! My son, and I went there this past Saturday, and everything was delicious. Staff was extremely friendly, food tasted great, food was very reasonably priced, and we sat outside on the patio as there was such a nice breeze. It was an amazing day, and we really enjoyed this restaurant.

    Food is always amazing, the customer service is consistently good and the place is always clean.

    Don Sombrero burrito. Meh

    I had the Don Sombrero burrito that looked great in the pictures. It was huge! It had all kinds of meats in it and tasted ok at best. The service was fast except the bill part.

    Found a new favorite Chile Relleno Burrito! Portion is great & flavor is delicious. Marti provides great service & ambiance is cute & comfortable. Also sampled the Chile Verde...so good & has a kick...Enjoy

    So far its the better of the Mexican restaurant there in Lake Isabella. I also prefer it over El Portal Mexican (which doesn't even make Chilaquiles.. They didn't even know what they were.. WOW...)

    A great time!!

    Nasty bug in my enchilada

    I found a giant bug in my enchilada sauce and when I brought it to their attention they called me a liar and were very rude

    Fantastic food and experience!…read more Tried on a whim after a day at Sequoia, not expecting too much after seeing the Yelp stars, but all expectations were blown out of the water. Staff were immediately welcoming, personable to talk with, patient, and helpful not just to us but all other guests around! We sat at one of the many outdoor patio tables, which made for exactly the relaxing mood we needed. The complimentary fresh chips and salsa were finished before the waiter returned to take our order. Both are clearly made fresh, with the chips being very visibly cut, fried, and seasoned and the salsa being refreshing and slightly spicy. The wet burrito supreme was filled with tender, juicy beef shreds and topped with a red sauce packed with flavor. The chicken and mole was a delightful surprise to see on the menu, and it blew our minds! The thigh, leg, and breast chunk were wonderfully tender but still firm enough to not just become part of the sauce, which was packed with flavor, smokiness, and richness. The beef flautas were admittedly a little hard and the weakest plate on the table, but it was compensated by the rice and beans being nicely seasoned and cooked to the perfect texture/consistency.

    Casa Mendoza is one of the few restaurant options outside of Sequoia National Park and overall, I'd…read moresay the service was friendly, but the food runs pretty pricey. Serving sizes on the burritos looked pretty hefty and they do have complimentary chips and salsa. Can get a little crowded on busy weekends, but they do have outdoor seating available as well. They have a shared parking lot with the small grocery store and pizza place next door. Camarones al Mojo de Ajo (2.75/5): The sides of rice and especially beans were actually quite good, but the shrimp themselves were blasted and just overcooked. Rubbery shrimp just isn't the vibe and it's a pretty expensive plate for how much protein you get. Fish Taco (3/5): Objectively, they aren't bad. The fish is flaky and not overcooked, but I was expecting fried fish tacos, not just slabs of tilapia on some corn tortillas. Caldo de Res (4.5/5): Unlike the other items, this soup was INCREDIBLE. Light and perfectly savory. The carrots are soft and the beef ribs are almost melt in your mouth fatty and tender. Would recommend this dish 10x over.
