Gomez’s Mexican Restaurant & Cantina

Ordered chips and salsa, not free, $ 1.00
The homemade Salsa tasted like tomato sauce and chips tasted like they were straight out of the bag. Two regular margaritas that tasted like like they were a premix with no tequila flavor. 20bucks, not willing to try dinner food after the chips and salsa/​margaritas.

One of the only places in Mammoth with amazing food and service. The chips are so good. Great place for the kids. Staff is friendly.

We love this place. Always phenomenal service, great food and always dependable.
It does get busy sometimes and loud so be prepared. Plus if you like tequila they have over 500 of them!

Perfect little Mexican restaurant at the bottom of the Gondola lift. We hit it on a Thursday night and the owner has a Tequila tasting. We had good appetizers and tacos. Perfect happy hour. The owner invited us to the tequila tasting where we spent an hour or so sipping new brands. Awesome. Next time were in Mammoth were coming back.

Food is pretty good and I enjoyed my carnitas. What is bad is the service! I waited almost an hour for my food. Terrible avoid this place

Gomez’s. I’m not sure how to rate this place. I mean I liked it, but I was tired — and hungry from a day of learning how to snowboard. I had a shrimp plate that was ok, but nothing exciting or memorable. I’m not sure how much more I can say about a restaurant that serves Mexican food. I mean it’s not hard to get right, is it? They’re not bad, but they’re not great either. In Mammoth, I guess I’d expect better food. Just FYI, I was there in January but I never finished this extremely long review — until now.

We normally goto smokeyard BBQ in the village but wanted to try something new so Gomez it was. We were greeted by the host who had pink and white hair. She wasnt the friendliest host and sat us down at our table. We started looking at the menu and waited for the server. And waited and waited. The place was not busy. Our server finally came over and asked us if we were ready to order. Normally servers come to your table and asks for drink orders and maybe appetizers but she went straight for the order. Ok. cool since we were ready we will order. The server just seemed rushed and was rushing through our order. After a few minutes after our order, we received our drinks and my soup (chic tortilla). The soup was just ok. very bland. needed more flavor. Im glad i just got a cup and not a bowl. I try to wipe my mouth with my napkin and guess what. no settings. Only one which my daughter had. We waited and waited again for our server and she finally showed up with our food which didnt take that long. We asked her for some settings and she blamed the host for not giving us any, which i agree with her on. It should be the host that brings the settings when they seat us. While we were seated at our table. i glanced over to the host area and observed the same wht n pink haired host just standing there with her arms crossed like she was not having it. You guys need to re train her or hire a new host.
Now for the main food. I ordered the two item combo and got 2 chic enchiladas, my girlfriend got the asada burrito and my daughter got the chic quesadilla. The food overall wasnt bad… small portions for the money but what do you expect from the village in mammoth. I dont think il be returning just because of the overall service from the host to the server and because of the food portion size. Shouldve never deviated from our fav place… smokeyard BBQ!

Service is great n strawberry margarita is killer. Way better than Mammoth Brewing company. It’s like a candle in the sun, that ish dont even out.

We come up to Mammoth once a month. As with every resort town some months are very busy, some are not. The food at Gomez’s is solid, very good and the portions are great. The downside is their service. If you’re there when it’s busy, you might not get such great service. If you’re there near closing time and there aren’t crowded, you will definitely get bad service. There have been times the workers are sitting two seats down from you, talking.
Come for the food, which is great. I don’t know why they’ve changed their menu from their original one when they first came to the Village. I’d ask a server but I’m sure I wouldn’t get an answer.

Great atmosphere and energy, loud and full of people during busy weeks. Good food, especially the texture and structure, it’s not sloppy and wet style Mex food, at least what we saw/​ate.
However, I didn’t like the ceviche, it’s served in a cocktail glass is difficult to eat with chips plus the taste/​texture was nothing to be happy about.

It was a great spot to make a quick stop and have a delicious lunch. We had the beef and chicken fajitas and the beef burrito. Salsa and chips are very fresh and the patio was nice, open clean.
They also have al la cart tacos.
Pet friendly is also a plussss ++++

Awesome weekend in mammoth
Great food, great margaritas like always we were just surprised for new staff!!! We call him the
«Captain America» server
Fast service details to the bone, food still take a while but Good new items! Can’t wait to come back for more snow, food, margaritas… Thanks
4 Star just because the food takes a while…

I just came in for a couple of drinks before hitting the lifts. I read somewhere that Gomez has the best margaritas on earth. The jalapeño cucumber margarita was not all that great. boo =(Although, I am giving Gomez a 5 star rating because they have an impressive menu of tequilla and mezcal. Next time, I would like to try out their phoods along with some tasty beverages.
VERDICT: Rinse and repeat

We’ve been going to Gomez’s for the past 20 years. Ever since moving to the village, it has been going downhill. We miss the A-​frame Gomez’s where the food was better, and service was nicer.
First off, what sit down ‘Mexican’ restaurant charges for chips and salsa? Come on guys. Needless to say, the chips were stale and 75% crumbs. Salsa was ok.
Second: our service was terrible. The waitress was rude and not nice at all. She couldn’t care less about us. Never even checked up on our meal. We couldn’t even get an extra side of salsa.
Third: the tostada came out cold and soggy. When the waitress finally did check up on us (only because we all had hands in the air waving at her), we politely asked to return it for something else. She looked at us with a look of disgust. We finally did get a replacement meal which was decent.
Overall: we miss the A-​frame Gomezs. Unfortunately we won’t be going back anytime soon, because we truly were 20 year Gomez fans. There are plenty of better options in the village.

Came here to order a «snack» before dinner. It was pretty crowded in here. Wait time was an estimate of 20 minutes for a table. However we were seated in less than 10 minutes of checking in!
I ordered the flautas and enchiladas. Flautas had a very crumbly crispy crust and was loaded with a good amount of meat. It came with two dipping sauces that I did not care to try. However it did go well with the sour cream and gucamole it came with. This place definitely does NOT skimp out on the sour cream and guac. They hook you up with a good amount.
Their enchiladas were good. But what I really liked was the rice. It was really delish. It’s hard to find good mexican style cooked rice. My boyfriend really liked the beans as well.
Being from San Diego, I’ve had theeee best Mexican food… so this place is pretty legit. Been here twice and was never disappointed.

Chose Gomez’s because it was the shortest wait of the restaurants in the Village, and ended up totally happy with our choice!
I love the calavera motif and all the tequila options (not that I could take advantage of them, in my current pregnant state).
We started with the nachos, which were simple, but really tasty – chips topped with plenty of melted cheese, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, and pickled jalapeños. No naked chips here! Even better spiced up with some of their red and/​or green hot sauces.
The tortilla soup was solid, and loaded with lots of veggies and goodies.
I really enjoyed the portobello spinach enchiladas – two corn tortillas loaded with kidney beans, potato, mushroom, and spinach, topped with a cream sauce, and served with Spanish rice and black beans. The cream sauce was too sweet for me, and would have benefitted from salt, acid, and/​or spice, which I added myself to make it more balanced.
Overall, everyone in our party was pleased with their food choices.
Th best feature of the meal was definitely the service. Our waiter, Miguel, was great – super friendly and always smiling. The owner, Michael, came by and was really warm and engaging. Spent quite a while talking to us… turns out he grew up down the street from where we live. Small world!

This is NOT Mexican food, period. My rating is more for poor service and the fact that this is not Mexican food but advertised as such. I don’t think this even passes as Mexican food for Gringos.
My parents and I have never liked this restaurant. One night, I felt like something different. I knew Gomez wasn’t great, but I felt like something different. I don’t even remember what I ordered because it was so forgettable. It must have been one of the burritos. It was chock-​full of meat. It was actually pretty filling in general, but it was NOT Mexican, it had no flavor, no sour cream, no guacamole, no salsa. The red «salsa» that was dribbled across the top was some tomato-​pastey-​ketchupy type sauce. NOT Mexican. The chips were stale and terrible, and the salsa was watery and not at all spicy, NOT Mexican.
Service was non-​existent. I waited 15 minutes just to get a drink order and the waitress was not friendly.
Overall, the burrito did the job and filled me up, but I would not say I enjoyed it. The chips and salsa were disgusting and the service was terrible.
Their homemade salsas that you can buy inside the restaurant are pretty good, as I had a sample during the Margarita Festival. The sandbox area for the kids is cute, but that’s all I can say that is positive.

Gomez is just okay. Nothing special about it. They have a bar, a patio, and a sandbox for the kids as well as sports on tv.
The food is ok. I ordered a grilled chicken burrito with sauce. I just wish the sauce was the red chili sauce oh well. The chicken was nice and cooked to perfection and it also had cilantro in the burrito.
The restauraInt is cleaner than Roberto’s. I read that the Gomez came from Burbank or something, but they should of learned to make burritos from the El Burrito Jr owners.
Their garlic sauce fooled me with Tapito sauce. Whack I thought it was Tapito sauce. Tapito is a main stay for most Mexican restuarants.
Overall it is just okay. Also they need to keep the flies away.

On my maiden voyage to mammoth. We were in search of some food post ski day. If you haven’t figured this out by now… Food is an absolute rip off here. I paid 10 bucks for mediocre chili. With that said. This town must get so much tourists (obviously) that they don’t need to excel in service. We went to another restaurant and they could not understand how they could accommodate our party of 6. There was a table for 4 and 2 seats at the bar. It was weird.
Enough about mammoth in general…
So we wandered here and we ended up sitting at the bar area. Service was a bit slow. We ended up getting margaritas by the pitcher and it wasn’t that great.
The food also matched in mediocrity. Ordered a steak and for the first time… Wasn’t even asked how it should be prepared. It was covered in a green sauce and served with corn and potatoes.
It wasn’t expensive but underwhelming after a long day of skiing.

Luckily I don’t expect much from restaurants in Mammoth. We stumbled upon this place while really hungry. The prices were cheap and we were starving, so we settled.
We had a group of 8 people on a Saturday afternoon and they accommodated us quickly which was very nice. They served chips and salsa when we sat down. They were just okay — you could tell they were not fresh though.
I had myself this massive freaking beef burrito. On the menu it says they put beans, cheese, onion and cilantro in it. However, it was ALL beef and a sprinkle of cheese, nothing else.
My boyfriend had the chicken torta which was literally the worst torta I’ve ever had in my life. Not only was it completely flavorless, the chicken was SO dry. Do not order it.
Anyway, our total was $ 121 for 8 people (not including the tip) which is super cheap for Mammoth. So 3 stars for prices and accommodating large parties.
