Checked this place out after apres ski at Mammoth. Burritos are delicious, we got the carnitas and California burritos. Carnitas was flavorful and the California burrito was 10/10. Only minus points for no Mexican cokes. I will definitely come here again the next time I’m in Mammoth!

Joe's Mijo. Asada burrito regular con todo es muy deliciouso. Came to visit the town of Mammoth to play in the snow and stayed for the Mexican food at El charro. Pro tip: buy that horchata if you're going to try that salsa rojo

I came here after working out at the Athletic club, and let me tell you this is an excellent choice for delicious burritos!! Just look at the size of that mega burrito. I paid $19.43 for that and I could only eat half of it. So, really it was two meals. Also service was super fast, and they brought the burrito to my table, there weren’t many customers that day. I’ll definitely come back if I’m ever in Mammoth again.

I grabbed the regular burrito, it was really good. Green sauce is mild. Red sauce does have a kick. Aguachele cucumber on the side is a must!

The food was good and they know how to make their tacos. But you need to check your receipt because if you order say tripas they'll upcharge you $1.50 a taco but not tell you on the menu or anywhere else until you get your bill. Plus there's other charges if you use a credit card or debit card instead of cash etc. None of this is disclosed to the customers you're just left there. Standing at the cash register staring at this receipt...

This place is SO good! I dropped in one day for some fish and shrimp tacos and dude- the fish tacos are some of the best I've ever had and I live in LA. The Taco Salad w/ carnitas was also delicious. I've already eaten here 3x this week and will prob come again tomorrow! The cheese enchiladas are SOOOOO good- I'm a purist when it comes to Mexican food and if a restaurant can make a good cheese enchilada + rice/beans then I know it's a great spot. I suspect everything is homemade (masa, tortillas, chips) etc and fresh. Super yummy.

I got three asada tacos and a carnitas burrito for later to go. The service was fast and the salsa they had was spicy and delicious. Authentic spot
