You need to go here! The flavors are amazing!! The empanadas themselves are flaky, fluffy and flavourful...but the chimichurri sauce just takes it to another level! I had three then wondered what the other flavor was and had another!! Its Argentina food, so try the little cheese bread things! Addictive read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I'm so glad I found this place. I had the corn and chicken empanadas and they were both absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and really satisfying. I also ordered a honey latte, which ended up being one of the best lattes I've had in a while. Just the right amount of sweetness and so smooth. What made the whole experience even better was the location. It's right next to a park, so I got to enjoy my coffee while watching my little one play. The prices were super reasonable too. Great food, great coffee, and such a relaxing spot. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Empanadas are really good. I ordered 3 (beef, ham and cheese, and truffle). They were so good that we have to order more. Only downside is the wait is long. read more

I got to experience Capybara's empanadas last night with my kids. We had a rough day bc my son got injured in the mountains. Coming here was like a blissful oasis.. These are authentic Argentinian empanadas!! How do I know? Because I'm Argentinian. And for a while, I was craving good empanadas... I live in LA and not so much luck. Even in Latin or Argentinian markets. These Capybara empanadas made by chef Luna, who of course is Argentinian too, are top notch. A simple yet unforgettable gourmet experience that you can have in your cabin, hotel room or, like we did, right there at a park table, steaming out of the oven and delicious, like if I was in Buenos Aires! All in all just let your palate decide, and let yourself be transported for a moment to empanadas land! ‼ read more

Delicious empanadas! One of my fave things to eat in Mammoth Lakes. We had the truffle, veg, apple and corn empanadas. So sad I didn't notice they had pumpkin and cheese flavor too. That sounds next level! They're all fab and as others have noted the chimichurri sauce is great. W also enjoyed the chocolate dessert and a banana smoothie. YUM. read more
