    Taqueria

    Yummy food open from 11:30am-5:30pm. The wait time can be long but there is plenty of seating while you wait and the food is really good after a long hike.

    $12 carne asada super burrito
    Jennifer S.

    There aren't very many dining options in Yosemite Valley, so when I heard that the Taqueria had just opened back up in Curry Village, I rushed right over. The taqueria is located in the front and center of Curry Village, in the same building as Seven Tents, the gift shop, and the Mountaineering School. I ordered the super burrito with carne asada. It cost about $12, but was about the same size as my favorite $3 burrito from Taco Bell. The customer service was great. The girl who took my order was really friendly. Most of the burrito was alright. The tortilla was store bought. The cheese and sour cream were American. The guacamole was actually pretty legit, and the cilantro was fresh enough. I loved the carrot salsa, which was the only fresh salsa available. But the carne asada was so bad. If there were laws regulating what could call itself 'carne asada,' I'm sure this meat would be illegal. It barely fit that description by any stretch of the imagination. On top of that, there wasn't much meat on the burrito to begin with, and I had to spit out three bites of unchewable gristle or bone. After this experience with the carne asada, I would not be eager to try any of the other meats. I would say I might come back to try the Street Corn or Vegan Ceviche, but I saw another guest eating an elote, and it looked tiny and overcooked. Overall, I'm not sure whether or not I'll get desperate enough for variety to try this place again.

    There aren't very many dining options in Yosemite so you take what you can get. This definitely isn't the best Mexican food nor did it taste somewhat authentic but like I said, you get what you get. There wasn't that much of a line to order but the wait for the food does take some time which is understandable. There is seating but depending on when you go it can be scarce. I got the super fries and my fiancé got a burrito with some rice and beans on the side. I was not a fan of the rice or the beans. I can't really describe the beans but they were awful and the rice had zero flavor and they happened to be inside the burrito so I didn't care for it. The fries on the other hand were great. They had guacamole, sour cream, cheese sauce, and your choice of meat, I got chicken. The fries were cooked to crispy perfection and everything meshed well together. You can't really go wrong with cheesy fries. The cheese they used was the kind that goes on nachos but I enjoyed it and I'd get it again.

    These were pretty good, they really hit the spot after a long hike. The line here is usually pretty short too.

    mushroom carnitas tacos (vegan)
    Grace X.

    Surprisingly really really delicious food in Yosemite with vegan options! I got the mushroom carnitas tacos, which come with cheese but can be made vegan by removing it. The tacos were pretty small but they were really tasty. Maybe I was just hungry but I was honestly shocked at how delicious these were, like better than most restaurant tacos.

    I think the low reviews are a little unjustified for the place. It's a national park, you can not go in expecting good and cheap food. The food here from my experience is mediocre leaning good and the prices are reasonable for a national park. I got to try the carne asada tacos and the SW chicken salad. The tacos were street tacos and honestly not that bad. I'm mexican myself so I've honestly had way better, but for a NPS food establishment, I was happily surprised with the food. Street taco style with corn tortillas, lime, onion, and cilantro. Not too much to desire but still great after a day of hiking in the middle of nowhere. The SW chicken salad was a little disappointing. I didn't expect a pre-boxed food item when ordering. It was decent but a little expensive for the portion. I would've went without it next time and just got more tacos. Overall, I'd recommend the place. It's better and cheaper than most food i've had at other national parks and think people are a little harsh. We're in the yosemite wilderness after all.

    Waited almost 30 minutes for a "quesadilla" -- somehow they gave us just a tortilla with no cheese. For $11! Insane.

    Plazuelas Mexican Restaurant, Oakhurst: 2026 Aug 5 (3.95 of 5)…read more Adrian, our server was gracious and friendly We were served water, complementary chips and salsa when seated. The chips were made in-house and had that clean fresh taste. The salsa was spicy but we couldn't stop eating. (4.5 of 5) Their prices are high for where they are located and our food didn't come with rice and beans. We agreed that the confirmation of a great Mexican restaurant comes from the rice and beans they serve. (4 of 5) Rib Eye Tacos: The rib eye tacos feature juicy, richly marbled steak cubes piled into warm home-made flour tortillas, topped with caramelized onions, cabbage and guacamole. The tender pieces of meat had great complexity, was well-charred, and had a nice mouthfeel. It breaks down easily with minimal chewing and the taste lingers on my tongue after each bite. (4.75 of 5) Fish Tacos: From street-food to table-top specialty, this is a popular Mexican dish. Their Ensenada-style beer-battered halibut served on homemade corn tortillas with pineapple-cabbage slaw and garlic chipotle sauce is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Squeezing a generous amount of lime juice added a bright, sharp sour taste that cuts through and balances the overall flavour. (4.5 of 5) Atmosphere: The place is clean with table and chairs well spread out, but the music blaring over the speakers made conversations difficult. This eatery looks out onto the parking lot. (2 of 5) Location: This is located in an anchor business area so FREE parking is easily accessible. Service: Adrian was our server. He was genuine, unpretentious, and sincere. He's only been working there for 6-years, but he may be the anchor to this family-owned eatery. Plazuelas Mexican: A passion for honest, uncomplicated, and authentic flavours.

Cashier was friendly and I was very lucky to find a place to sit and eat. As I was seated at a long table, the people next to me had delicious smelling soup--and mentioned that the soup was in a separate line, so I had hubby go get some vegetarian lentil soup, which was yummy!! It is not so enjoyable eating soup with a flat wooden spoon, however.... Food itself overall was a 5, but vary the menu just a bit ...

A perfect addition to a road trip! Food: I visited WND as a stop on my 395 journey as I have heard many things about their fish tacos and lobster taquitos at elevation, and out of a gas station no less! I had no clue what to expect given the location, but WND left me delightfully surprised. I ordered the famous fish tacos and their lobster taquitos for myself which came out to ~50$ with a drink. Immediately, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. Both dishes came topped with a fresh element like salad for the taquitos, mango salsa, and refried beans. These additions bump the visual appeal of both dishes, and substantially turn them into worthy meals which I was worried about (assumed they would be served on their own with no sides). With my two heavy plates, I set myself at the outdoor seating and dug in. Let me say I had no issue housing these two, without ever feeling heavy or greasy which was a concern I had given the fried elements. I started with the signature fish tacos; the mango salsa is a delightful and refreshing sweet/tangy accompaniment to the creamy sauce and refried beans. The fish is fried but not greasy at all, but I found the meat to be a bit dry/lacking in flavor. Overall, the strength of the taxi was in the salsa and taco toppings / sides, not the fish. Which I found to be somewhat disappointing. They were delicious, but I had just expected more from their main dish. The taquitos however took me by surprise! These were served with a refreshing salad and more of that mango salsa, on top of the refried beans. It was delicious mixed together. The taquitos had a respectable crisp to the shell without any fault of excess oil, and the filling was wonderfully seasoned and flavorful throughout. A good follow up to the mildly disappointing fish. Paired with a coke zero, this was still an amazing meal that felt hearty yet healthy, indulgent yet balanced. These plates give the impression of a carefully thought out dish, where the chefs considered the overall experience beyond just the headliner fish or taquito. Overall, fantastic. Service: Service at WND is homey and local. When you're far out from the cities, it's comfortable and easy to chat with the cashier about their experience working there, or their favorite dishes. Fast, friendly, and open to conversation, WNDs service is perfect for what it is. Ambiance: despite being in a gas station, WND and the Tioga mart are a very comfortable, safe, and restful spot. I came alone, but I spotted families with children playing in the outdoor area ahead of where I ate, friends meeting up to continue their journeys, and elderly couples tucking into their plates in the clean indoor seating area. There are small elements harkening to the history and fame of the deli in the form of news clippings on the walls near the bathrooms, and wooden tables and benches give the indoors a cozy vibe. Outdoor seating is more like your standard picnic bench, but when paired with the green grass area just ahead of it and the views of the lake/mountains, you can't beat that fresh air and connection to nature with your meal. Overall, I was very surprised with how good WND delivered in a way that I was not at all expecting for this remote gas station stop. I highly recommend making a point to stop in here on your travels to refuel, taste the delicious food, and slow down a moment in the road. 4/5 (docked for dry fish)

And most places that sell Indian tacos use the cheapest version of those ingredients they can find, cheap ground beef, discount, pre-shredded cheese and iceberg lettuce.

We bought a few jars and with every spoonful we revel in their wonderfulness while simultaneously mourning the fact that we're one precious serving closer to an empty jar. Go get a bunch of jam!

I was expecting a taco truck in a casino parking lot, but this was more like a deluxe wooden shack on private property. Prior to this, I'd only had 'Indian tacos' once before, at a Native American cultural day at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. That one time was pretty much enough to make me a fan for life. Frybread tacos are all about the frybread. Truth be told, the filings don't matter. (As I write this, I can imagine a future full of gourmet 'Indian' tacos on Instagram, but...) The tacos are filled with cheap, super basic ingredients like full fat ground beef, iceberg lettuce, beef tomatoes, and "Mexican cheese blend." It's basically "white people taco night" on frybread. To me, having grown up in extreme poverty, these tacos taste like surviving poverty. They taste like a kind of soul food that you can only understand if you've lived it. (So if I see any too-privileged people knocking stars off because these tacos are exactly what they're supposed to be, I'll be shook.) When I saw the menu, I couldn't believe how cheap it all was. I'm pretty sure they need to raise their prices. I ordered a taco and a burrito (and got completely stuffed) for less than ten bucks. The ladies who work here all seemed super sweet. It didn't take long to get my order, and, in case this isn't clear by now, it was so good. I loved it. I plan to come back with friends.
