I belive the name has changed. Got there at closing hour so maybe limited staff. Ordered everything on the menu, possibly one cook busted it all out . Food good service was slow but expected when you order everything.

Everything was great!

We wanted good Mexican food while staying in Mammoth. Boy, did we find it! I enjoyed the beef nachos (big enough for 1 dinner and 2 lunches!) Best nachos that I've had in years! My dining partner enjoyed a chicken enchilada dinner with rice and refried beans. All was excellent! Service was very attentive! We really enjoyed our meals. We'll definitely be back! Happy to support a small local business. BTW...the name of the place changed...not Loco Frijole, but you won't be disappointed...Enjoy!

Food was just okay. Ordered carne asada steak and it was incredibly salty, and I love salty food so yea, too salty. My husband ordered the Shrimp Diablo and it was also just ok. Maybe we ordered the wrong food choices.

This is where the REAL Mexican food is at in Mammoth. Their pazole was AMAZING! Best rice & beans too. Delicious salsa and chips too! 10/10

What great find. Small place, very good food and service. I was there around 1:30, so lunch crowd gone, if there was one. Outdoor seating was minimal but sat one of the tables. Started to rain but was protected enough to stay outside. Recommend!

Pretty awful experience - prices are HIGH (almost $20 for a burrito!), service is incredibly SLOW and inattentive, and food was barely mediocre at best. They also take cash, Venmo, or Zelle only.

Restaurant seems understaffed, poorly managed, and as another reviewer noted, staff let's their personal dog run loose inside the restaurant.

I've read the owner's responses to negative reviews on Yelp and Google claiming they no longer operate from that location...but I find it odd that the restaurant name, menu, and even staff (including someone who looks like the owner or management) are the same?

Tbh I was expecting more from this place , food doesn't even look near as good as it appears in the menu , the young lady waitress was really nice but that's about it.

James was the best part of the restaurant experience. He was so friendly and accommodating. I wish all servers were like James. The food was also amazing with generous portions.

Top worst dining out experience. Only two other tables had patrons - so not at all busy. Something very off about them supposedly being under new ownership per the "previous owner's" response below, yet ext signage is "Lopez's The Loco Frijole," and my Venmo receipt shows I paid a "Calletano Lopez.
No exterior notice that their system is down & aren't taking debit cards (notice on tables only to pay with cash, Venmo or Zelle). When I first got in, the table over from me said food good, but 1.5 hrs to get. TRUE! Only 2 servers, one there for a week and so nervous couldn't remember anything. Orders incorrect at the other tables . Food ok, BUT NOT REMOTELY NEAR QUALITY or portion size to Roberto's in town (they were closed, thus the try at TLF); best part was salsa with warm chips. Then time to pay: Zelle - wouldn't go through (name on table pay-list to use was OLD owner! SUPPOSED NEW OWNER comes out, says use HER PERSONAL name- still won't work, so she starts with the exasperated sighs and huffs, then walks away - no consideration shown in spite of how screwed up her service and wait times were...
So...I download Venmo and get them paid (over 20% tip to server in spite of issues...), nevertheless, treated poorly by (new?) owner who's venue is a mess, and who, btw, lets her Chihuahua roam the place, including the kitchen! I could have put down the cash I had, said i'd atm bal, bring in the remainder - but then jolt them instead - well, that's NOT who I am - so i went through whatever it took to pay them and to tip not just min, but over 20%. Dear Ms New Owner-E Lopez - think about that as tourist season comes into full-swing & you start getting jilted or the health & safety board comes in and sees your dog in the kitchen! Check your attitude!
