" Despite being eager to try Castillo's, my experience was average at best. The decor was nice, the service was attentive, and the drinks were fantastic, but unfortunately, my food didn’t meet expectations. I ordered the burrito, which was mediocre and didn’t reflect genuine Mexican cuisine. It’s a good quick stop for a meal after hiking, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again.

" Visited Castillo's on the recommendation of a friend and aimed for some authentic Mexican fare. I was greeted warmly, and the atmosphere set a nice tone. I ordered the chicken tacos, which were acceptable but not authentic by any stretch. The flavors could be improved significantly. Still, I'll give points for service and a pretty nice restaurant vibe. Honestly, if you’re looking for a comfortable meal after some sightseeing, you might enjoy it, otherwise, manage expectations.

" I recently had lunch at Castillo's and was pleasantly surprised despite some mixed reviews. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a meal after hiking in Yosemite. I ordered a plate of chicken enchiladas, and while they weren’t the most authentic, they were tasty and satisfying. The service was quick and attentive too! Overall, a decent meal at a charming spot.

" Castillo's is a cute spot with a small-town charm. The service was quick and friendly, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations. The burrito I ordered was large but lacked real flavor or authenticity. There were hardly any spices or fresh ingredients. If you’re looking for a post-hike meal that’s convenient, Castillo's will suffice, but if you want authentic Mexican, you might want to look elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find in Mariposa! We stumbled upon Castillo's while exploring, and it turned out to be a lovely getaway. We tried the fajitas, which were well-seasoned and generous in portion. While they didn’t blow me away in terms of authenticity, the flavor was still good. Service was quick, and the environment felt relaxed and inviting. It's worth a visit, especially after a day of hiking in Yosemite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great service, average food. Our server was phenomenal and the ambiance truly charming. However, the chicken fajitas were bland and lacked the authentic spices I long for in Mexican cuisine. I appreciate what they’re trying to offer, but it just doesn’t cut it for those familiar with the true flavors of Mexican food. I'll commend the service but temper my expectations for the food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" An average experience, to say the least. We walked in seeking some hearty Mexican food after a long day. The ambiance is nice, but the food was quite bland — definitely Americanized flavors. Ordered the burrito and it was a decent size, and the beans were fine, but I left still feeling hungry for flavor. Service was attentive, but I expected a bit more from the menu.
