    Honestly surprised by how good the food was considering we were the only customers there at the time! I got the carne asada plate which was grilled to perfection with a crisp but still juicy and thick enough cuts. Loved the Jamaica agua Fresca. My partner got a michelada which was also massive and delicious. Complimentary chips and salsa as well. Wanted to give this place a shoutout so they can get more customers in the future since everyone seems to congregate at the brewery around the corner.

    Al Pastor, sorry one is already gone :D

    For Mammoth, this is five star. I'd give it 4.5 stars+ down south. The service - top notch. Five stars all the way. They were awesome. Seriously - they saved our night. It was my son's bday on a busy weekend. We figured we would waitlist somewhere but no one was accepting even that. We tried here for takeout and they said prob 1-1.5 hours (Decemberxmas holiday week so I get it). Food took maybe 40 minutes for a large takeout order for 9 people, that was so so much appreciated. Grandma sits in the place and runs a tight ship so sometimes you hear her giving her family a hard time. I've been there twice experiencing this "out in the open" - a bit weird but appreciate it's a family business. The food? Carnitas tacos - 5/5 - big chunks of meat that were absolutely delicous. As in I bit into it and went "omg. are you serious?" Honestly some of the best of not the best meat/tortilla combo of carnitas I've had. If you go there for a single thing - this is it. Order at least two. Their salsa? I'm a snob and this was pretty tasty - same with their chips. They gave us two huge containers which we used for a couple days on multple meals. The al pastor tacos - also delicous. This was a winner and competes with any other place. See the picture. The shredded chicken was basic, nothing to write home about. Standard. Throw some salsa on them and they are tasty and they didn't skimp on the meat. You'll enjoy it but it won't be the best ever. The burrito was very big. You eat with utensils. It was decent. A good amount of rice/bean filler so my kids were just ok with them. That's all I've tried. Some other guests ordered other things and loved them. Solid food and fantastic service. Get there early - I sat at 5 the second time and was the only person in there. By the time I left it was completely packed. They may cutoff ordering early on busy days so get those orders in early. The (grand daughters?) were excellent with service - truly. And the guy at the counter (family too or not?) that also works on the mountain was top top notch. Friendly, welcoming, helped us out and gave us some drinks while we waited. Truly loved the experience and our entire group said the place was great.

    I went with my pops to try this place out and oh my goodness. The best decision of my life, the food is absolutely amazing and delicious. Better Mexican food than the food I got during my trip to Cabo San Lucas. I absolutely recommend this place you won't be disappointed. 10/10

    Best churro sundae ever!!!!!

    We had the best dinner at Lopez Mexican Food. We started with chips, salsa, and guacamole. It was delicious!! I got the green enchiladas and my husband had the mole, both were excellent!!! The service was perfect!! This place feels so authentic and homey! We will definitely be going back!! Oh btw, don't skip dessert! The fried ice cream and churro sundae were sooooo good!

    Small little town restaurant, off to the side of the street on the way to the village. We stayed close by so thought we tried it out - we could smell the authenticity from down the road! Delicious food and excellent service. The horchata and cucumber lemonade was so good, and their meat is mouth watering. Definitely recommend!

    Carne asada plate

    Destroyed it! Food was very good and authentic. Will definitely return when I come back to town. Chile relleno was amazing.

    Good Mexican food, nice staff. Their guacamole is diced instead of mashed. My friends enjoyed the tamales and burrito.

    Haven't been to Roberto's in a couple of years and I forgot how really good it was. The service was…read moreexcellent and very courteous The food was outstanding and the portions were HUGE. Just showed me how restaurants could have larger portions if they really wanted to. Roberto's is the best!

    Gomez's was too busy so we made the mistake of going to Roberto's. Average food. Even worse…read moreservice.. We had a group of 11 people, 3 families. When we arrived the restaurant was fairly empty. Around 5:30. That should have been a clue.... When we requested them to put tables together they were so rude and acted like we were severely inconveniencing them. We're out to dinner with friends on vacation so excuse us for wanting to all sit together in your empty restaurant! When it was time to order I nicely asked if it was easier for the server to divide the checks by our 3 families as we ordered or wait until they brought us the bill. Server says neither could be done. Their "system" wouldn't allow it. It would be impossible.. So I said that was odd because I eat out at least 3 or 4 times a week and usually it's not a problem.. So I offer what I thought was a reasonable solution ... They seemed so put out that they had to put together 3 small tables for our group so I suggested entering the order as 3 separate tables .. Nope! Couldn't be done. Food wouldn't come out at the same time. I said we didn't mind that. I even pulled our table a little away from the other 2 and said ... Ok, now we're our own table.. Nope! Couldn't be done.. best they could do is put everything on one check and we'd have to figure out how to divide it up ourselves and they could run separate cards. Now here's the thing if you're reading this thinking I'm just whining and being unreasonable.... I'm giving them my business.. it ended up being over $300 of business for them. I own my own business so I know the value of customer service. If I make a reasonable request for something that is done all the time at other places and they flatly refuse and do that with attitude,,, that is a horrible customer service. They do realize they're in a service industry,right??. When they tell me that my request isn't possible thats a lie because I do it all the time. What they are really saying is that they don't WANT to do it or are refusing to try to figure out a way to accommodate our request. Normally I tell the server that if they can't figure out a way to fulfill my simple request and we have to do it ourselves I'll just deduct some from their tip since I have to do their job and it seems they don't want to be inconvenienced. But since we were a larger group they automatically hit us with a service charge. So instead, next time we'll take our large group to Gomez's which I hear is better and hope the servers are more friendly and more accommodating.

    My boyfriend thinks this place is a solid 3 stars. I would personally give it a 2. 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.

    If you're up in Mammoth Lakes and want a spot that actually delivers on both food and experience,…read moreGomez's Restaurant and Tequileria is it. The tequila wall is what sets this place apart. It's not just a few bottles on display, it's a full collection that gives the whole place energy. You can tell they take tequila seriously, and if you're into it even a little, you'll appreciate what they've built here. The food is solid across the board. Mexican with a bit of a modern twist, good portions, good flavor, and consistent. It's the kind of place you can go after a long day in Mammoth and know you're going to leave satisfied. The atmosphere is what really ties it together. Lively, warm, and has that mountain town vibe without feeling touristy. The fireplace, the bar, the setup, it all works. Service has always been on point too. Friendly, attentive, and they keep things moving without rushing you. Between the tequila selection, great cocktails, good food, and overall vibe, this is one of those spots you make a point to come back to every time you're in Mammoth. Definitely worth it.

    I ordered salmon with miso sauce, but it was not miso at all -- it was some kind of sour,…read morecompletely different sauce. The fish was overcooked to the point of being dry and inedible. I had specifically asked to substitute the rice, but it was still served -- and there was a hair in it, which is absolutely unacceptable from a hygiene standpoint. The kids' burger was overcooked to the point of being dry like a cracker, and the fries looked and tasted like they were cooked in old, repeatedly used oil. This is unsafe and unacceptable, especially for children's food. The steak was ordered medium well, but was served well done -- completely overcooked. The chimichurri sauce was also misleading: instead of the classic green sauce, a red mixture was served that had nothing to do with it. The coleslaw was simply awful. Additionally, the staff showed no proper response -- we were not offered a replacement, a discount, or even a proper apology. This reflects a complete disregard for service standards and customer care. In its current state, this does not meet even basic restaurant standards.
