Okay we were staying in Mariposa to allow us to visit Yosemite National Park and we checked out at the hotel. We're looking for a place to have lunch before we get on the road and we remember seeing this little Mexican restaurant on the previous night walk around Old Town Mariposa. So we went to it today and it turned out to be an excellent choice! :-) the place is very well decorated and clean and bright! The service was excellent and the food was excellent as well! :-) definitely a place to check out if you are ever in Mariposa!

Probably my favorite Mexican restaurant during my time in the US. The food was incredibly delicious, service was great and the location, in Mariposa Old Town, was amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

This place is amazing. The food is delicious. I had the Grand Burrito with ground beef that I couldn’t finish because it was too big and my partner had the Cimichanga that he couldn’t finish also. The customer service was very attentive, fast and friendly. Would recommend.
