    There's a little taqueria stand on the patio just outside the small grocery store at Curry Village, but I'd suggest skipping it. Either bring your own food (being cautious with food storage, of course) or buy a sandwich in the grocery store here, because the taqueria was very disappointing. The refried beans were dry and the overall food quality was low.

  • Do your best to avoid the buffet at Curry Village. It was awful! $12.00 for a bunch of food that was really not even edible. The pans were either empty, looked like they had been sitting for hours, or were so over cooked that you couldn't choke it down. Even the soda machines did not have the proper mix...straight syrup with no fizz - yuck!

    The french fries were the best thing happening at this place.

    Yosemite National Park probably has one of the most elaborate conglomerations of eating options of any in the park system. The hotels all have restaurants of various calibers depending on the type hotel it is but the real find is Curry Village with a near boardwalk feeling to its open air food court. There is Mexican food, pizza, and a full grocery store. Yosemite Village is similar though lacks the rag tag carnival flair. Whatever your preference, you will not starve and they seem to keep the prices at bay considering they have you at their mercy in what is a remote area.

    The Burrito stand has strange hours and it not open for dinner so only we ate there only once. It was $10 for two burritos and they were just okay and not filling enough for the price. Luckily, there was a pizza place and this is perhaps the perfect food for carb-starved backpackers. We ate there twice, always right after a multi-day trip and were quite satisfied. This place was always packed and at dinner time positively slammed. They serve beer and getting a table looked to be a nightmare. We took advantage of the burrito stand being closed as there were tables in front it it as well. We would grab a table and a six-pack of beer from the grocery store right along side it. Doreen would wait with the table and beer while I went to order the pizza. There was always a big line for this but it moved quickly enough. The best part was after paying for the pie, they gave you a buzzer so you could go back to wherever you were hanging out and once you heard it go off, you could go and retrieve your goodies. A large pizza with a few toppings was about $20 but we saved quite a bit by eating right around the corner as a six-pack was about the price of two beers at the pizza place. It was great for people watching and had a real buzzing feel to it.

    I had dinner at the restaurant in the Curry Village Pavilion... bweh! I really couldn't eat any of it, it tasted aweful! I wish I picked another (more expensive) restaurant in the park. I really can't recommend going here!

    Curry Village is the biggest tourist accommodation in Yosemite Valley (in terms of number of guests) with hundreds of camps, tent cabins, and hotel rooms. It also has several restaurants, including a pizza shop, a cafe, and this buffet place Pavilion, to keep all the hungry guests fed.

    My experience with the Pavilion was great. The price was reasonable compared with other diners in the Valley (dinner buffet was $11 plus tax in 2002). And the food was decent (American style buffet). Since it's buffet you are not bothered by the servers. After a long day's hike, I just picked a quiet table by the window and sat for an hour or two. It's a great place to let my legs rest, my stomach digest all the food it needs, and my brain plan for next day's great hikes. I felt recharged afterwards.

    Given the number of guests staying in Curry Village, the Pavilion gets crowded fast. So come early. I didn't take a photo of the restaurant. The attached photo was taken from National Park's official site.

  • Man... I have the worst timing... even though it was our last day in Yosemite and no hiking, we still had a 5hr drive back to the city of smog and so I had to restrain myself from loading my plate with crispy, oily, salty, scrumptious bacon... mmm.... bacon. Needless to say my heart and arteries breathed a huge sigh of relief... bastards!!!

    Just the standard breakfast items... but if you are hungry, it tastes great!

    Curry Village: Get food before it's too late!

  • In Curry Village there's a couple of places to eat. During the day you can get Tacos and burgers, but this closes about 5pm. After this you can get quite reasonable pizza from a shop around the corner but this closes promptly at 9pm.

    After this it's difficult to get prepared food but the shops in both Curry Village and Yosemite Village stay open later.

  • I don't know what everyone is talking about. The food at Curry Village was great! Tasted good and the cooks were constantly refilling near-empty entrees. I'm looking forward to eating there the next time we go!

  • Imagine giant cans opened by college students with no interest or particular fondness for cooking or campers and you have the buffet at curry village. It didn't even taste good after 10 hours of half dome.

    The pizza is edible.
