    Latte
    Faz K.

    Capybara is very much worthy of its high rating. It's small operation with a limited but sufficient, menu. The star imo is undoubtedly the truffle and cheese. The beef is a worthy second imo and the chimichurri is pretty unique in my experience. You get this wrapped up in an amazing crust. I also got an iced latte which was solid. I got my food to go for a group. I waited about 15 minutes. I'm not complaining, just illustrating that it's made fresh. If you wanted to eat here, it's a pleasant environment with tables and benches and a park, right next to the local recreation center. That also means parking is aplenty. If you're visiting the area this should be on your list.

    A good option for the area, however if you've had amazing empanadas it won't knock your socks off. We tried every empanada except beef and chicken (the latter was not available and that made us have to stop at a fast food place afterwards as it's the only one my daughter had wanted). The food we got was pretty good but not especially flavorful. The time estimate we received was off by about 10 minutes but that's ok as my car was charging at the nearby supercharger.

    Got chance to try this shop at Mammoth Lake. Simple menu with some different meat option and sweet empanadas. I got: Mushroom cheese one: fulfill fluffy empanada with mushroom and "light" cheese. I was expected more cheese. But truffle mushroom by itself is good with affordable price. 4.8/5 The herbal tea is perfect. A little bit of herb, mint, light sweet from honey. Very fresh for a sunny day. 5/5 Service' fast and helpful. Food waiting around 10 mins. As it's a food truck. You can wait at tables in the park. There is a small river closes by. Good for a short walk while waiting for food ready. I noticed even some ppl go fishing around the river. Good experience. Worth a try. If i have chance come back around this area. Definitely will try the other flavors Good truck color design. Very cute and pleasant!

    1 out of 3 empanadas. Chicken, mushroom and beef could not stop eating so good! Was going to save for later. Will have to finish all.

    The empanadas were really good. Definitely worth the wait. They cook them fresh, so be prepared to wait 10-12 minutes minimum.

The chocolate almond protein shake and almond freeze espresso drink are the best we've had, still dreaming about them. The food and drinks here not only taste amazing but are healthy and clean ingredients, so important and you rarely get that when eating out! The owner is super friendly and very down to earth and personable, you can tell he is passionate about the high quality & healthy food he serves and he genuinely cares about his customers. Highly recommend, a must when in Mammoth!

All American Dave's food is high quality, well priced, and health conscious. Dave the owner is a pleasure to talk to and he even does meal prep if needed for you. I go to Dave 3-4 times when I'm up there. His breakfast tacos are a go to for sure. All of his meal prep meals have good flavor and are filling. Almond chicken dish and the AAD burger are hits for sure! Salmon also good. Depending what your doing he will cook it differently. So if I'm not having it until later and need to microwave it later he'll let me know he's cooking it slightly under so it won't overcook when heating. Found in the snow creek athletic club- they are trying to get the business off the ground so as far as deco etc it's limited. But a healthy food spot in a gym makes total sense. And Dave himself is very friendly and open for conversation. Def recommended!! My #1 breakfast/lunch spot in mammoth.

Spicy Fried Chicken was to die for. Also we ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer- great choice! We will be back next time we visit Mammoth. Thank you!

After waiting over 30 minutes, I eventually had to find another staff member myself. The food was decent but overpriced. I ordered the rock shrimp, which was good, and the wagyu burger, which was mediocre. The atmosphere was also extremely loud and rowdy, feeling more like a bar than a restaurant. Overall, the poor service was by far the biggest issue. Regardless of our age, being ignored for that long left a very disappointing impression of the staff and the restaurant as a whole. It reflects their character.

I had the pulled pork sandwich with a side of yummy coleslaw. The sandwich came with several single serving size containers of bbq sauce. The pulled pork was very tender, moist and smoked deliciously. Soft hoagie roll. The bbq sauce was very flavorful and not spicy which is how I like it. I loved the coleslaw because it wasn't too mayonnaisey, more of a subtle vinegar flavor. My son ordered the brisket with collard greens which he says, you can't truly be a bbq restaurant without collard greens. He loved them and the brisket was tender and lean. His husband ordered a tri tip sandwich with the Mac n cheese along with a made to order Blackberry Lemonade. They both loved their meals. We all agreed we'd return for another meal. Tge desserts looks delicious! Bread pudding, peach cobbler and a couple other choices. Like I said, another day to indulge in dessert. It is outdoor seating only on picnic tables. You could see the owner and his assistant working hard to prepare the meals. They had a steady stream of guests. Good location with parking very close by.
