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!

The carne asada burrito was super salty and greasy. The birria taco does not come with consomme which made it a little dry and lacked flavor, but their elote was pretty good. Order your food at the front of the store and take your receipt to the back where they will prepare your order. While you're waiting, take a look around at all the snacks!

Just something to eat. The total came out over twenty dollars. I looked at the receipt and looked at the food. The math didn't add up. No one talks. No one smiles. There's a TV turned up too loud playing something forgettable, and music playing over that. It doesn't cover the silence. It just makes you want to leave faster. The food was bland.

It's what you would expect from a small town eatery. Simple, quaint and spacious. The men's restroom was very clean and made for solo occupancy. I was interested in something on the menu, but our server Maggie recommended something different and I'm so glad she did! It was the breakfast burrito with chorizo. The burrito came out hot and fresh. I asked for green salsa on top and it came with a spoon size serving of sour cream on the side. It truly was one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had and I ate the whole thing. Be aware, it's pretty big so great for one person if you're very hungry but also perfect for 2 people to share. Absolutely delicious. When I visit cities or towns, I usually enjoy eating at and supporting local restaurants.

You should stop here if you want a great meal. Breakfast burrito is my go to food in any Mexican place, but the mushroom burger and tacos here were really good. An old lady is the one making them, I'm not sure but I think she is the owner. The food was filling, large enough portion was served and the price is kinda cheap in my opinion. It's like finding an oasis in the middle of nowhere. You can only eat outside, so be prepared for that. The people were amazing and the food, muy delicioso! read more

Jeanine Zane built the business and the food was the best. Soccorrio straight eventually bought the business and food was still very good. Under new ownership now and food is still great. Just beware sandwiches do not come w fries. Have to order separate. and the steak in Philly can be a little touch. read more

He was very nice and gave us a great deal for having to wait longer and gave us a free drink since we were eating at the establishment. It's a nice little place. Tables are spaced out enough to where you get privacy, but close enough if you have a large party. The pizza...omg...we would get that again in a heartbeat!
