Stopped here on the drive home from Mammoth with very low expectations and very high hunger, which…read moreis honestly the ideal way to discover a place like this. Fatboys Taco sits in what feels like a former gas stop area in Mojave, but it is its own thing, attached to a bar and far better than anything you would expect from a highway pit stop zone. Inside, there are bold murals on the walls that give the place real personality and make it feel intentional rather than accidental. I ordered two birria queso tacos and they were legit. Crispy, cheesy, rich, and gloriously messy in the way birria tacos are supposed to be. The kind of tacos that make you temporarily forget you still have hours of driving ahead of you. This is officially on my mental list of places worth pulling off the highway for. I will absolutely be back the next time I am coming home from Mammoth, even if I am not that hungry.

Although they have great reviews and the service was great I don't think I'd ever go back here. If it hadn't been for someone taking me to lunch I would never have eaten here. Not necessarily because of the food but because it's so dirty and unkept inside. I only ordered a chicken hard shell taco and it honestly had zero flavor. They have great reviews so it must be a local favorite but I just wasn't a fan.

Food will cost around the $15-25 dollar range but they come with rice and beans, salad or just a large size that you can eat feel full and/or have leftovers. Free chips and salsa with refills, order guacamole to make it special. This place is the opposite of fast food, you know that the food was prepared with care and the taste just hits the spot. Agua frescas of watermelon was refreshing and sweet, just the right thing to quench your thirst and rehydrate. I ordered street tacos and was happy they had lingua my favorite, along with special meats like buche and tripa. The birria was superb and had the most flavorful consommé to go along with them, I would order this item again. Unfortunately there was no soup on the menu that day, so salad was the only option as a side but there were many dressing options and the lettuce was fresh. Hard to see from the street, the restaurant is in the far right back of the strip mall. Plenty of parking available!

Their food has always been decent to me, I recently got a birria taco plate, and the time before that some different tacos, with different meats. Some were good others seemed super dry! My Al pastor was very dry, along with the chicken taco. I feel like this place sometimes is a hit or miss depending on the day, that's why I have to give it 3 stars this time.

The owners are French, so the cuisine has a flair of Mexican and French fusion. Their chamomile lavender iced tea was delicious and refreshing. The Korean BBQ taco was flavorful and delicious.
