    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.

    Cute little food truck

    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.

This is his uncle's food truck, and I am so glad we made a stop to try it. The Rolling Chef is a highly rated Latin American food truck located outside the Footloose Sports parking lot. Parking was easy to find, they have plenty of seats outside. We ordered the shrimp tacos and the Pan a lo Pobre sandwich and that was 10/10 for me! It was deeeeelicious and I highly recommend ordering that. Even my 10-year-old son really liked it and I would order this again next time. Their sauces were all good especially the chimichurri, so GOOD! The next time you are in town, give this place a try because this was the best meal during this Labor Day weekend trip. I'd even say this is the best food we've had during all the times we've visited Mammoth and that means a lot coming from me. This food truck is an absolute hidden gem. Every bite was packed with fresh ingredients, bold flavors and generous portions. Service was super friendly, welcoming, and efficient. You can tell they really care about the quality of their food. Honestly, don't let the fact that it's a food truck fool you because this is restaurant quality food. Very unique, delicious and I wish they had one in Orange County. We will 100% be back on our next trip. 100/10. Thanks for the recommendation, Gabriel!

The chocolate almond protein shake and almond freeze espresso drink are the best we've had, still dreaming about them.

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.
