Great location and the only Mexican Restaurant in the Village. The food was OK. I love the Carne Asada and rate it a '4'. They had a drink special to go with some dishes. Service was good, a little pricey for the quality of food though. The 'white' sauce is not good. Ask for the 'red' sauce on dishes where... More

Snorris57 - Thanks for taking the time to check in. We really appreciate your visiting Gomez's and Mammoth. Sorry about the Cinco De Mayo music being too loud. We believe you are right on that one ... new DJ and in hindsight he went a little overboard on the "fiesta" part! Course correction for next year for sure. :) Safe... More

Had chicken fajitas, taco, margs & chimale. Everything really tasty. Really good margs! Service was great, but they were not busy.

We've been going to Mammoth every summer for the past 11 years. We have also gone to Gomez's every summer for the past 11 years! It's the first meal we eat when we get there & the last meal we eat before we leave. It is THAT good. We always try a different restaurant every time we visit to support... More

We had been traveling all day and this restaurant was right across the street from our hotel, so we walked over to give it a try. This place was BUSY! So my first suggestion is, go early if you can. However, even though we were told it would be an hour and a half wait, the hostess suggested that we... More

The bartender was very nice and took the time to teach me some things about Tequila. I think they have hundreds of different ones. I would have never tried some of the things he suggested on my own, but I am glad I did. The chips and salsa were great. I also had the Sea bass which was perfect. The... More

Dan- Hey, thanks for making the trip up here from beautiful Carlsbad! Sounds like you might be a bit of a tequila aficionado! ... or perhaps apprenticing as such? Anyway, we are really proud to have one of the largest selections north of Mexico right here in Mammoth. Currently over 400 bottles. Should hit 500 by this winter. Only bigger... More

Great location in the ski village even in the summer ... we ate outside and enjoyable the atmosphere. The place was very busy and the wait staff were really pushed. They did a great job with the service based on the volume of people. Margaritas were a hit with the ladies and the cold draft hit the spot. We did... More

I am not a foodie. I qualify mostly as a bulk eater, so the nuances of Mexican cuisine won't be addressed here. We came in the late afternoon, just before the dinner rush, just after the happy hour crowd. We had kids with us and the sandbox out on the deck was a great way to keep them occupied without... More
