Don Rubens - Mariposa

Now, let's talk about the food. As a Latina from Mexico, I can confidently say this is the best Mexican cuisine you'll find in Mariposa. Is it 100% authentic? The answer is no. Their tortillas aren't authentic, but they are still delicious. If they made their tortillas from scratch, it would elevate their food to an entirely different level, but I understand the reasons behind their choice. One thing I did notice is that there was no music playing during our visits. I think some Mexican music would really enhance the restaurant's atmosphere. Overall, the food is tasty, the drinks are refreshing, the salsa and chips are fantastic, and the staff is wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend this place—come support a family-run business!

I visited this restaurant twice and had a wonderful experience both times. The food is fantastic, and the service is excellent. I really appreciate that it stays open late, making it a perfect stop after a day of hiking or driving in Yosemite. The portion sizes are generous as well. Highly recommend!

My wife and I took a day trip to Mariposa last Wednesday and we were just by chance near Don Ruben's Mexican restaurant around the noon. That was a great place for lunch before it went to the museum. Everything about this place was great: the ambience. food, service, even prices. As usual, I ord the Chile Relleno, which I find as amatu cook, to make the most difficult Mexican dish. You have it on the menu as a side order for $4.50 per. I thought to start with them and maybe a taco or enchilada. Since it was lunch, and I am diabetics, that was Perftec. If I had eaten with rice and beans, I might have to take some insulin. You have a senior and children's menu that my wife ordered and the part was perfect. She ordered the Taco court, that was $7.50 and it was just a little more than she could eat. I generally don't like to go over 4 stars for restaurants, but this gets 5, because my wife said the beans and rice are the best they had in Mexican restaurant for a long time. Tip: The mixed margaritas $8.00) come in a fish bowl. Recommend to order them if you plan to visit the museum after your meal. But whatever you do, do not miss the museum when you visit Mariposa.

We had our anniversary dinner at this joint, at Mariposa. The day was Cinco-de-mayo too so the restaurant was jam-packed. The waiters were impressive in the way they handled the crowd and service, food was great too specially the enchiladas with the diablo sauce. Overall experience was pretty satisfying.

We found this little treasure on our way back from Yosemite. It was the only restaurant staffed and open. The food was amazing! I am vegetarian and had lots of choices. And top of that good quality and quantity . Definitely recommend for the family. The server(Farnando) who was very friendly and helpful . Staff was very welcoming.
