    You can't miss the Roberto's sign when you drive into Mammoth due to the prominent location in the center of town and the people waiting outside. We had a short wait, which was pleasant due to amazing weather. Once we received the text our table was ready, we were sat in a nice section on the first floor. It was fairly loud thanks to the families with teens around us. Our server was friendly and efficient. We ordered a starter salad and asked for Italian Dressing. Not sure what we received as it was a spicy vinegar. Where it wasn't bad, it was overpowering even in a small amount. The rest of the salad was forgettable. The nachos, with added carne asada, were quite tasty though. Loaded with beans and cheese on thick and delicious chips. (The complimentary chips and salsa are very enjoyable as well.) The nachos and overall experience would be five stars had there been more carne asada..

    vegetarian fajita burrito made vegan

    Happy Hour here is from 2 PM-5PM and offers discounts on the TJ Margarita, the House wines such as the CK Mondovi and an assortment of other items that were too many for me to track when my sever told me about 'em! The vegetarian fajita burrito is delicious when made vegan (hold the cheese & sour cream). Don't forget to ask for jalapeños! See photo for the yummy insides of that fajita burrito!! They are huge. I took the 2nd 1/2 of that burrito with me for day two on the mountain. The cantina is upstairs and it's generally hopping in the late afternoon for aprés. It has a nice wooden ceiling & floor plus a palm tree decor that makes the ambiance cozy

    First time in Mammoth California and we were looking for something to eat for dinner since the ski resort doesn't have too many options. The drive down wasn't bad took about 15mins. We had a couple of options to pick from but thought to try this place. So glad we did. It felt very homey and the vibes were so nice. We ordered the Juanita's salad, duck quesadilla, and a lobster burrito with Spanish rice and refried beans. I also got a virgin peach margarita and my fiancé got XX beer. The staff was very friendly and attentive as well. I don't know what some of the reviews are saying. The food we got were so delicious. The lobster burrito and the duck quesadilla were so flavorful. Ive never had one like this before. I honestly think the food Mexican food here is way better than whatever we have in Hawaii. It was very chill and the server would check in on us and made sure we were good. If you're in this area, I would definitely recommend you to come try their duck and lobster items. Also the portion is very shareable so keep that in mind! I would definitely eat here again if we come back to Mammoth!

    This is our second visit to Roberto's Cafe after our friend's introduced us to Roberto's last year. The food was just as delicious as our last visit. We walked in and were seated immediately upstairs in the bar area. Our server Anna greeted us and brought us water, chips and salsa. Anna was very friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The chips are delicious. You can tell they are home made. The salsa was super fresh and tasty as well. We ordered a dirty martini and a regular margarita. My husband really liked the margarita but something was off with the martini. Possibly too much vermouth or bad olive juice. I ordered the enchiladas rancheras. Two carne asada cheese enchiladas covered with sour cream sauce. Topped with guacamole, olives, and tomatoes served with rice and beans. $23.45. Really gooey delicious enchiladas. My husband ordered the polo asada burrito. Marinated chicken and refried beans wrapped in a flour tortilla, then covered with Roberto's sauce and cheese. Served with guacamole and sour cream - 18.95. My husband loved it. We both said we will always come back to Roberto's each time we visit Mammoth.

    Yummy mexican spot in mammoth with generous portions! We were seated right away & given water & chips & salsa. They have happy hour 2-5PM. Getting the attention of the workers can be hard, possibly because they are busy & understaffed? But the time between ordering & getting our foods on the table is pretty quick. I enjoyed my carne asada plate, it was really filling. Bathrooms are clean. Parking plaza is spacious. Overall I would come back if i'm snowboarding & craving mexican food!

    Great for a casual sit down spot in town. Has a few games playing and good food. Large quantities for a good price. Service was great as well, amazingly nice server and overall chill vibe. I will definitely be returning when I'm in town!

    Torta with fries, I got the chipotle aoili on the side

    Only taking a star off for the fact that we showed up at 4pm and I think that was shift change, because we sat ourselves and had to wait about 15 minutes for service. I'm not sure why no one can take a drink order, sit people, or take a food order?? The bartender looked SO busy pouring one beer...Eventually we did get service and everyone was very quick and helpful. Food was really good! I got the torta and shared a quesadilla. The bar was on the second floor so there was a nice view. I'd go back!

    I've been here quite a few times. Maybe like 5? And every time I think it's mid... UNTIL I FINALLY ORDERED THE DUCK BURRITO. Before, 3/5. Now? 5/5. Amazing. Grand. Fabulous. Crispy duck, even inside of the burrito. Multiple friends who tried it off of my plate have even likened it to Peking duck with the crisp. Totally blown away. Also the chips and salsa are quite good here -- big fan. Also prefer dining upstairs; it's more of a vibe.

    Cheers  to happy hour Margaritas

    Food portions are very generous. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bar on the second floor has many tvs for sports games. Staff is mostly friendly a few staff maybe should consider something not in the hospitality industry and also consider that Mammoth is a tourist destination and not be treated as if the customer is doing you a favor talking specifically about the male host who is the primary greeter. Happy hour specials are great. Bar drinks were good and strong! One negative for a Mexican restaurant maybe play some Spanish music in the background just saying.

    We came here with a large group on a Friday night. We waited about 10 mins then We were sat in the bar area. Service was fast after that. Yummy chips, salsa, and guacamole came out. Our pitchers of beer and margaritas were always full. The food came out fast as well. I loved my cheese enchiladas and my husband enjoyed his tostada. The whole table was happy with everything. Great way to treat a large party!

    Are their beans vegetarian, no lard? How about rice and red sauce enchiladas etc? Do they use chicken broth or any animal products in these dishes that can be vegetarian?

    Hey. I'm not sure of all those items, but their Spanish Rice is cooked in Chicken broth.

    Are there gluten-free options? I mean, beyond standard corn tortillas, like is there a dedicated fryer, what about pinto beans and rice? Thank you.

    Michael, No I do not know about gluten-free foods. I would suggest that you just give them a call. They would be more then happy to answer your Questions. I would bet that they do have special menu. Hope this is helpful. Kathryn

    Are they open as they don't answer the phone?

    They are open. Like many restaurants, they are trying to find their way through the Covid restrictions. They need to figure out their outdoor seating, telephone orders and staffing. The food is great though.

    Is it pet friendly? the pictures show an outdoor dining area

    Yes they do have outdoor dining that I'm sure allow pets. Oh yea, great Mexican food too. 👍

Ravioli Bolognese: The standout dish. Rich, meaty, satisfying, and exactly the kind of homemade pasta dish that makes this place worth visiting. Pepperoni Pizza: Excellent crust, good char, and crispy pepperoni cups. Simple and really well executed. This is genuinely good pizza, not just good pizza for a mountain town. Caesar: One of the more unusual Caesars I've had. It arrived with essentially whole heads of lettuce, celery, and a homemade crunchy component that reminded us of a savory funnel cake. The homemade dressing was excellent. Different, fun to share, and memorable. Pasta: This is where Vulcania really shines. Everything tastes homemade, and I'd be comfortable ordering just about any pasta on the menu. Chicken Parmesan: Pretty good overall, with a creamy, rich sauce over the top. It was a little too heavy for me, but everyone else at the table loved it. Meatball: I would skip this dish. The meatball was undercooked and felt like it was lacking a binding ingredient. One thing worth knowing is that the kitchen isn't particularly flexible about modifying dishes. That makes sense for a chef-driven restaurant, but it's worth considering if you have picky eaters or prefer lots of substitutions. Overall, Vulcania is still the best pizza and pasta we've had in Mammoth. The handmade pasta is the real draw, the pizza is excellent, and dishes like the Caesar give the menu enough personality to make it more interesting than standard Italian-American food.

I called and inquired about a few things and when we arrived, we were told a different story. Long story short, use OpenTable to make your reservations and avoid the headache. Outside Pods- If you're interested in sitting in the pods outside, it's an additional $50-100 (depending on the day) and can fit 6-8 people. We had several kids in our party and they enjoyed the novelty of it. Our waiter Cam was great and made up for the poor service with the host. He had great recommendations as all were spot on. Cam recommended "family style" as many of the entrees are large and it gives you a chance to sample everything. We started with the asparagus summer rolls and tricolore salad. Both were delicious and refreshing. For the entrees we shared the cacio e pepe, margherita pizza, orechiette nero and chicken parmesan. Again, everything was excellent. For dessert, the gelato comes with three huge scoops along with three zeppoles (Italian donuts). The food was excellent and probably one of my new favorites in Mammoth.
