Authentic, casual Mexican food. Friendly service, good prices and portion sizes. The Mexican rice was something I hadn't seen since my mom made it when I was a kid. read more

I came here at 7 o'clock. I ordered my food. I didn't get served until five minutes before they closed. I ordered potato tacos, potatoes, and a burrito and a tostada of ceviche. They forgot my side of ceviche and they also forgot my drink and they locked me out of the restaurant. Truthfully, I would rather have sleep for dinner While I waited for one hour and a half I decided let me get drunk to numb the pain. I ordered a Michelada. It took 30 minutes to get to me when it arrived. The guy put the raw straw on my dirty table. I was truly disgusted and in awe. I also paid a lot of money for food. Only the real ones know what it's like to pay a lot of money for bad food $87 for three things a bad night and probably food poisoning. I will keep yelp updated in regards to my food poisoning. I currently feel sick. read more

The food was delicious!!!! The service was amazing. We highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.

Our first night in Yosemite and we were all hanging for some Mexican food so we stopped here. Everybody thought it was delicious and outstanding. I just thought it was pretty mediocre. The only absolutely good thing about it was the servings are absolutely huge. I got the Dora tacos in the Guy did tell me it would take the longest to get mine. Not sure why but I got them and they tasted all right. Not sure if I would revisit. read more

Great unpretentious restaurant. They focus solely on the food. Their tacos were bomb and the super burrito was fire. Packed with perfectly seasoned meat, is the perfect stop on your way to Yosemite. read more

Great option for food around the Yosemite area where restaurants are limited. We stopped by for pickup from Midpines and it was pretty empty. Got 4 chicken tacos that came wrapped in foil on a paper plate. The toppings in the regular chicken tacos included onions, cilantro, red and green salsa. My only request would be to request the salsas on the side as well since the sauces on the tacos dry up. read more

Nayo's Restaurant - Regular Chicken Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Mariposa, California

Super good food, authentic as it gets. Very kind staff, good music and lots of decorations.

If you're hunting for real-deal Mexican food in Mariposa, Nayo's is the spot. From the moment you walk in, you're hit with blaring music, bright colors, and the overwhelming sense that you're about to eat something memorable -- maybe even spiritual. Now, fair warning: the food takes time. Like, "are they raising the animals and grinding the corn by hand?" kind of time. But when that plate finally hits the table, all is forgiven. The wait is part of the magic -- and the Al Pastor alone is worth writing home (or a Yelp review) about. The interior? A vivid kaleidoscope of color that feels like you wandered into a dream tour bus where the Grateful Dead made a pit stop in Oaxaca and never left. It's warm, wild, and totally unapologetic in the best way. Nayo's isn't fast food -- it's soul food, cooked slow, served hot, and wrapped in a tortilla. Come with an appetite, a little patience, and a deep respect for maíz-based greatness. read more

Stopped by starving and this was the best decision I made today. I got a sope with carnitas con todo. I am definitely going to make the drive back with the family and try more of the menu. The decor is cute too and they had some ceramic yard decor for sale as well. read more

Overall: hefty portions, clean restrooms, great treat after a long hike from Yosemite, nice service I didn't have high hopes for Mexican food in this area, but I was very surprised by this restaurant. The portion sizes are HUGE for the burritos. I had just finished an epic snow trip and our group was tired and hungry. This place perked us right back up. We'll make sure to stop here on our way out from Yosemite. I recommend the burritos! They were really good. I had the huevos rancheros and, while decent, the portion size and the flavor did not match the carne asada and carnitas. It's also cutely decorated, in a kitschy way. We enjoyed their taco banner, Christmas decorations in February, giant tortoise statues for sale. The service was very friendly! The food was a tad slower than we would have liked, but I truly think that's because we were just really looking forward to the burritos. The wait was well worth it. read more

It was aesthetically pleasing. Reminded me of the Mexican restaurants from my hometown but the food sadly didn't have much flavor. I wanted more spice or seasoning but it was very bland. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long which was nice. read more

Came to Yosemite for vacation didn't think I would find good Mexican food. But nayos did not disappoint. Carne asada tacos were good Birria, tostadas, soda. Service 10/10. While good old school Mexican music playing in the back. Would definitely come back. read more

Good mexican food, I just tried the burrito, it was good and filling. Decent portions but not the size shown in the photos. Ambiance is like a mexican restaurant. The servers are great but service takes long. Food is tasty and clean so it is worth the wait read more

Almost everything was closed on a Monday so we stopped in for done Mexican. No margs but that was ok. We ordered the super tacos. Each was made to order served fresh and hot right to our table. Worth a try. read more

It was nice to enjoy food that was authentic and not over loaded with sauce and a bunch of extra junk. I ordered the 3 chicken enchiladas and they were awesome. My wife had the Asada taco and they too were authentic street tacos. Mexican coke and orange soda to boot. The service was top notch. The decors of the restaurant were authentic too. read more

If you don't mind waiting 1 hour for your food go ahead and eat here. We waited 1 hour for 1 quesadilla ans 2 tortas. They told us it would be 30 min. read more

First time at this restaurant. Guess they have only been open for a year. But definitely one I will be making a special trip to! The food did take a little long, but cause everything is made FRESH. Its all authentic Mexican. I was able to meet the owners. They were very hospitable. I tried 2 different meals here. The enchiladas made authentic mexico style and some tacos doradas de papa. (Potato) Also got an order of fried potatoes with cotija cheese and sour cream drizzled with hot salsa. (Ask for no salsa if you dont do salsa cause it was HOT) If you are ever in the area, and want some real good mexican food, cooked to order, check this place out. I loved it. read more

Didn't stay long enough to order. Walked in to an empty restaurant. No staff around to welcome us. Tablet on a stand to order. All in Spanish. After a few minutes, staff member comes out, asks us what we wanted. We asked for a table. He said not until you order. Menu on the wall behind him. We left. read more

This town is tiny & we went exploring for some dinner. Nayo's is fairly new from what we read & the service was great. We ordered to go & got our food without 15 minutes! The steak quesadilla was yummy and huge. We got the family pack tacos which came with 10 tacos. They were just okay, and not our favorite unfortunately. read more

Amazing food! Must come back. Try their breakfast burrito and birria tacos!!! Excellent customer service!

Food is delicious!! I got the quesabirria and they were so good. Handmade tortilla. My husband got a torta and he also mentioned that it was good. I came to Mariposa for a work conference and I visited Nayo's three times. Food was excellent all three times. read more

Christian was our server on a very quiet evening and gave us wonderful service. Because everything is made to order the patience to wait for your food was well worth the quality and flavor of everything made. We ordered the Steak plate and the Chile Relleno read more

The quest for the best burrito in Central California continues. Nayo's in Mariposa has the appeal and presence of a typical area taqueria. As usual the response to the question, "what's the best thing you have here?" Is, "Everything". I ordered a barbacoa super burrito. A friend was with me. He is a finicky eater who does not appear to be interested in flavor. That being said, he told me his asada burrito without most of the ingredients was, "good". It was like watching my little brother order a hamburger when we were kids. By the time the order was over, it was a grilled cheese sandwich in a hamburger bun... with ketchup. I digress. I went back to this restaurant the next two days, trying the Barbacoa, carnitas, and pollo super burritos. All were good. None were the best burrito I've ever had, but they did present a three-way tie for "best burrito I've had in Mariposa". Their barbacoa was the best protein I tried. I think I'd like to try that in their quesadilla at some point. I'll go back. If I was driving through both Mariposa and Oakhurst with a burrito in the mix, I'd probably plan on eating at Plazuelas in Oakhurst instead, but I wouldn't be disappointed with either option. read more

This place is located in an small, unassuming strip plaza right at one end of Downtown Mariposa. We were looking for a casual dinner & thought burritos sounded good. The interior is again, casual but pretty spacious and can be used for larger parties by the looks of it. We ordered a steak burrito & a steak quesadilla at the counter. The food was brought to our table. Both were really good & filling. The ingredients were fresh & the meat was flavorful. The burrito was about 10-11 bucks & the quesadilla cost more even though it was literally only cheese & steak; the burrito is definitely the better deal, in my opinion. We also got a serving of flan for dessert too which was very good. Service was friendly. read more

The food here is really good. We had a la carte regular burritos, which were more on the large and ample size, and they were fantastic and authentic. The service was very good too. You can't miss by eating at Nayo's. read more

Stopped there yesterday while on a work trip. I ordered the Shrimp Quesadilla which tasted very good. However, immediately after finishing my food I began to feel sick. This morning I woke up with horrible food poisoning vomiting and diarrhea. I had to call in out sick and will miss work tomorrow as well. I know I got sick from the Quesadilla because it was my only meal that day. Someone must not have washed their hands or something. Be careful. read more

Came in to use the restaurant and got a basic chicken quesadilla, which I split with a friend. We ended up both having food poisoning within a few hours. The chicken tasted terrible but I figured it was just poorly seasoned and we were both really hungry. My other friend ordered al pastor tacos which he said tasted like barbecue sauce. Avoid. read more

The tortas and burritos are very flavorful and filling. Every time I've been here the customer service has been wonderful too. The people running the place are so friendly and welcoming. My one minor complaint was I wished salsa or sour cream came with the quesadilla. Last time I went there it didn't (then again I got the smaller quesadilla so maybe it doesn't come with the smaller one). Usually I need a sauce for my quesadilla but to each their own. The horchata is great! read more

Food is good but service is slower than molasses in an arctic freeze. If you are prepared to wait a long time you will likely enjoy your food. read more

I write this as I stand here waiting. I called in my order at 11:49am based on what the restaurant recommended. They make everything from scratch so it takes longer. Even the guy who came in after me got his food already. It is now 12:55pm and still no food. If you're in any kind of a hurry or hungry, do NOT go here. Update: I received my order at 1:00pm. His explanation was they had to make the fries, pico de gallo, and guacamole fresh. It seems to me any restaurant owner should know to have condiments like that ready at the start of your day. The fries truly are homemade but again, there are ways you can have these prepped before hand so you simply drop them in the fryer. I understand not wanting to have food waste but they would likely be busier if the service times were better. The Asada was minimal on my asada fries, more like ground beef than asada and everything was heavy on the salt. read more

There are three Mexican Restaurants, and a Taco Truck in Mariposa, and this is the weakest of the four. It is, looks and feels like a strip mall retail store. The food was certainly nothing remarkable, and we feel like any of the other options is a better bet. read more

Food was pretty good although we did not get exactly what we ordered. We ordered a deluxe burrito and what we got was small and did not include the avocado or sour cream. We had a tostada bowl. It was ok. Overall well seasoned and pretty tasty though unremarkable. Service was very friendly. Very low key environment. read more

The food here is great, I truly enjoy the Quesadilla's and The dish called Tortas. Never have I tried great mexican food and this has been my first time. Truly wonderful worth going here. read more

The best Mexican food I've had in a long time!! The service was incredible and the ambiance was beautiful. Get the burrito, you will not be disappointed!! Me and boyfriends new date night spot in Mariposa. Thanks Nayo's! read more

We walked in and immediately were debating to stay because the restaurant was empty but hungry and tired as we were we stayed. I ordered their Menudo and to my surprise it was really good. My friend had the pozole and it was also very good. Fresh corn tortillas is always a yes I'm my book. Overall we were satisfied!! Pansa llena corazón contento!! read more
