Mario was awesome, super accommodating and very welcoming. I was with my family and we had the dog, it was gonna rain in 40 mins and we wanted to sit outside. They were super flexible to make it work for us. Celeste was our server. She was kind and attentive. Portions were pretty large and the price was extremely reasonable considering the portions. Food hit the spot delicious and fresh. Will be coming back an again next time in mammoth! read more

Disappointing. Food ok...at best (Machaca burrito and Duck burrito) Service: 1- half filled basket of chips and half salsa. I had to get another basket from another table. 2- no server around. Had to go to bar an ask for limes. "Can I get some limes?" Bartender staring at the TV. "Can I get some limes, please!?" Staring at the TV. Hostess had to get them. "SORRY, I'm a huge 49ers fan" 3- had to hunt down someone who wasn't our server to take our order 4- food took FOREVER 5- no one asked how the food was or if we need anything 6-had to ask someone for the bill 7-had to take the bill to someone. Unacceptable. Never coming back here again. read more

Roberto's is incredible. Lupita was an inspiration. The chips are super high quality and the salsa as well. Their selections are truly fantastic. The duck burrito and the lobster burrito and the jefe burrito are all outstanding. We are definitely coming back. read more

We miss everything about Roberto's! My favourite is Juanita's salad! Crispy lettuce add beans peppers cheese grilled chicken good to go!!

We ordered three dishes to go, and they were all delicious. The portions were so generous that we ended up eating them for two full meals before finishing everything. The food was flavorful and satisfying, making it well worth the order. The hospitality stood out; the host was courteous when I walked in. The restaurant had a bench near the entrance and upstair seating. read more

A great pick we made while at mammoth lakes. Loved the lobster taquitos. Their margarita menu looked pretty interesting, also tempting presentation. The mains are served in big portions. So think twice before ordering those extra side of rice/beans. Even if you dish doesn't mention the cheese topping on burrito. enchiladas etc, most of em are gonna come with it. Bon appetit! read more

Roberto's is always our go to place when we come to Mammoth. We were there last month and the service in the upstairs bar was horrible. Tried again tonight May 16th and again horrible service upstairs. The server and bartenders were reading a magazine and talking to each other our drinks were empty and so were the chips and salsa after waiting for over 25 minutes for someone to come over ( there were only 3 other tables ) I had to go up to our server and pay the bill. Not sure if we will come back. read more

We decided to check out this restaurant after boarding all day. We were so hungry that we finished everything. I ordered the shrimp burrito but I wish the shrimp was grilled. Their Spanish rice tasted a bit stale but their beans make up for it. read more

We always go to Roberto's once while we are in town. I always get the same thing, cup of a abondigas soup, chicken taco, and a duck taco. That is my go to! My husband prefers the bowl of a abondigas soup and he got taquitos this time. He asked our server if he could have the taquitos made with carnitas. She said they can't make the taquitos that way, but he could order flautas with Carnitas and they could do that for him. We will give that a try next time. Sounds delicious. read more

We have been going to Roberto's for over 15 years. It's a Mammoth staple! We went twice this most recent visit and ordered the Duck Burrito, Carne Asada Burrito, Baja Fish Taco, Carnitas, and Shrimp Tacos. Everything was delicious! The only complaint I have is for the carnitas and beans. Both are too salty for my taste and will avoid the carnitas in the future. Otherwise quality of food is great! Of course you're coming here you can't miss the margaritas! We tried the Spicy Mango Margarita and Tropical Margarita. Both were delicious but definitely needed an extra shot. We also tried Herra the Dog and La Bamba. Those were perfect. Make sure to try Roberto's if you haven't already! read more

Had a delicious dinner and Margaritas here! Ordered their 22 oz Cadillac Margarita and their carnitas plate complete with rice and beans. Absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and great service. Also tried their house Margarita which was also very good. Very good value with large portions. Bar upstairs has lots of televisions and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended! read more

Best Mexican food. The portions are generous, it could be a little bit loud upstairs. Nachos are great with asada read more

This place was very good! We will most likely return. Perfect filling food after a day skiing. The ambiance is cozy and a good spot for couples, groups or families. We started with the soup and it was delicious. We then got the duck burrito. It was very unique and cheesy. Perfect way to end the day! read more

The food was simply amazing. The service and ambiance was amazing! Thank you for the hospitality by all of the employees was seen and felt.

This place is huge with 2 stories of seating. They have a huge menu of mexican food. We got 2 orders of the Duck Burrito, and Enchiladas Suisas (chicken enchiladas w/ rice and beans). We were seated immediately. There's a good amount of parking here. We were instantly served with chips and salsa. It tasted so fresh and the salsa had the perfect amount of heat. The Duck Burrito was stuffed full of delicious duck and the sauce kept it from tasting dry. The avocado and sour cream were a great touch. The Enchiladas Suisas were also really good, and packed full of chicken. I wasn't a fan of the Mango Virgin Margarita. The whipped cream was weird with the mango smoothie. read more

Roberto's Cafe is really good classic sit-down Mexican restaurant at reasonable prices, so great prices for Mammoth. They give lots a food that's really flavorful. The use of duck is really unique and adds to the experience and delectability. read more

I'm split on this review because the food was actually quite decent! However, extremely frustrated with ordering take out and an 18% service charge (tip) being added on to the order because it was a "larger order". There is a sign at the host stand that says "A service charge of 18% will be added to large groups and large TOGO orders" but DOESNT SPECIFY what constitutes a large to -go order. Which could be argued is a misleading business practice, violating California's consumer protection laws. The menu itself doesn't even notate the percentage added to the bill. It's incredibly vague which is disappointing to see a $26 charge added when we aren't even dining in. None of the meals had notated what they were on top, even though some were ordered with modifications which made it hard to know whose orders were whose. read more

Absolutely love the food. I haven't ordered anything I wasn't happy with. Always go to when I'm in Mammoth. A little on the pricier side... but you get what you pay for! 100% recommend. The Carne Asada burrito I could eat all day. read more

We liked the food, the chips and the environment. Fair prices for quality food. The wait time downstairs is long but if you go upstairs and find a table, you are set! It took us about 15 minutes to find a table on the new years eve, so... read more

Amaze-balls Mexican food. Let's start with the chips and salsa, on point, perfect restaurant style chips, not those weak paper thin chips like soon as you take a scoop it snaps in half like a cheap spork. Service is quick, from ordering to food delivery, quick like a jet rocket booster. Food is top notch and I'm from San Diego, I know Mexican food. Ran dangle knock your crocs off good. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town. read more

My friend and I had a great post-hike dinner at Roberto's. It's a very popular spot in town. We came on a Thursday night around 7:40 pm and there were a couple of groups waiting. We added ourselves to the list, and we got a text that our table was ready 15-20 minutes later. There's seating both upstairs and downstairs. We were seated upstairs, which was a more lively area with the bar. We started off the meal with complimentary chips and salsa, which was so nice as we were both starving. I ordered a virgin peach margarita ($6) for my drink and it was so good. Tasted like a creamy peach slushy... yum! We both got a burrito. That seems to be the thing to get here, as I saw servers bringing out burrito plates throughout our whole meal. The interesting thing about the burritos here is that they don't come with rice by default (you have to ask for them) and that they all come smothered in sauce and cheese. My friend got the veggie fajita burrito ($16.95), which was interesting because it comes with potatoes inside, and really enjoyed it. I went with their classic carne asada burrito ($17.95) and asked for rice and subbed out the green sauce for a non-spicy red sauce instead. It was really good and hit the spot. They don't skimp on the carne asada either; there was a generous amount of meat inside so I felt like I was getting good value for the burrito. The portion was also pretty large, and I was full halfway through the burrito, but I still managed to finish somehow. I didn't catch the name of our server but she was fantastic. She checked in on us a couple times throughout the meal and always made sure we were doing okay. We left very satisfied with the meal. I can see why Roberto's is so popular! read more

Went here recently with a group of friends for dinner. The place is very lively. The staffing was good, and we were attended to well. I had the fish tacos. The tacos were huge and were just about impossible to pick up and eat. Ended up just using knife and fork. The rice and beans were good, as well as the tacos. The fish in the tacos was pretty dry though. The tartar sauce helped. Others in the group had a good experience with their food, especially the duck burrito. read more

I read so many reviews about how this is the best Mexican restaurant in Mammoth Lakes. If this is the case, then from a vegetarians standpoint it's pretty average. We ordered the vegetarian fajitas, and a one item plate with a Chile relleno as well as a side salad. Portions were huge but the food wasn't very seasoned at all. The vegetarian fajitas came with two tortillas and what looked like an entire can or two of beans. The Chile relleno was buried under a mountain of cheese. The only thing I really enjoyed was the ranch dressing on the side salad and I thought the salsa that came with the chips was good as well. Overall bland, expensive for Mexican food and I don't think I would come back. read more

After wrapping up a long day of hiking, and finding out that a massive tree had fallen on a powerline and cut the power supply to most of the buildings and restaurants in the Mammoth area, my husband and I, like everyone else, scrambled to find a place to eat dinner. Lucky for us, Roberto's Café still had power. We put our name on the waitlist and about 30 minutes later there was a spot for us. We were ravenous so when I say that we inhaled the complementary chips and salsa, we did. For my meal I initially ordered the shrimp fajitas. However, I was informed that they had run out of vegetables for the fajitas, so I ended up ordering the carnitas plate. My husband ordered the stuffed chili relleno. I was not disappointed in the carnitas and when I say I had enough food for days, there was plenty! I don't know if it was because we were so hungry after a busy day of hiking, but this place definitely hit the spot. read more

Awesome place for Mexican cuisine and seafood lovers. I really loved fish and shrimp tacos they were perfectly cooked and was big enough. Chicken Quesadillas was another level yummiest ever I had. I was pretty full with that. We tried TOSTADA DEL MUNDO which was a lot. In drinks I has pomerita cocktailand a jarritos. During weekends or long weekends this place may have long queues to get in. But it won't take longer than 30mins or less. read more

I think this is as good as it gets in mammoth. You don't visit mammoth for food. The portions were HUGE! if you are a fan of beans and rice this might be a great stop for you. But I live in E.LA, the rice was soft and wet, beans were what you'd get refried in a can. Guac was really good. Salsa was pretty spicy, lacked acid. I ordered the flautas expecting something along the lines of slightly larger taquito-esque rolled and fried tacos but what I got were two giant fried flour tortillas with some chicken and cheese in a small corner. I would've rather had a 1 tortilla... Flavors were good and quality was well.. edible. The consensus at our table was the food was alright. It didn't break the bank, but we would only go back if we had nothing else to eat. We spent the rest of our holiday cooking at the Airbnb. There is a $3.49 service charge for credit card transactions. And some kind of resort fee auto added to the bill. read more

Roberto's Cafe - These are their version of chicken flautas! - Mexican Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

Margaritas are the new apres-ski. This Mexican food joint is one of the most popular eateries in Mammoth and it definitely deserves the hype. Despite Roberto's being a relatively big restaurant, I'd expect a 25+ minute wait during peak hours. Luckily the second floor has an extra large bar where you might be able to snag a seat for a pre-dinner beer. During our most recent visit I ordered the chicken chimichanga, which is pretty much a fried burrito filled with cheese, shredded chicken, lettuce, guac, and beans. After an afternoon on the slopes, I devoured this entire meal in minutes. I also tried their tropical margarita, which was 10/10. You really can't go wrong with pineapple. My only complaint is that a few of my friends ordered flavored margaritas that were pretty mediocre. Warning: stay away from the Prickly Pear Margarita. It tasted like cough syrup. read more

Legit Mexican food in Mammoth Lakes? Yes please! We have been to a few Mexican restaurants in Mammoth Lakes and to us, everything has been just okay. It's been the kind of food that paired with a margarita, hit the spot but didn't wow me. Well, where has Roberto's Cafe been all my life? I guess I just wasn't in the know! Well, let Aunty Robin bring you into the "know"! Roberto's Cafe is awesome! I think the burritos that are served "wet" with sauce and cheese is the way to go. We had a Pollo Asado burrito which is the most delicious, marinated chicken and refried beans wrapped in a flour tortilla, then covered with Roberto's sauce and cheese. It was served with guacamole and sour cream and even though $18.50 is probably the steepest burrito I've ever paid for, was SO worth it. The little guy had the chicken taco off the Kid's menu; first let me tell you, the taco is made and then fried. And then it's put on a plate full of rice and beans. I've never seen this kid eat like he did when we were there! We had fajitas as well which were good but not nearly as life-changing as that burrito. When we are next in, I have my eye on their Nachos (housemade tortilla chips piled high and covered with beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes, and olives), Fish tacos (two grilled wahoo tacos served with cabbage, cheese, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro with a side of Roberto's own tarter sauce), Tortas (Mexican sandwich filled with grilled carne asada, pollo asada, or carnitas, with lettuce, tomato, onion, and chipotle aioli, plus a side of french fries) and Huevos Rancheros (two eggs atop corn tortillas and beans covered with pork chile verde sauce and cheese). Because this place is so amazing, parking is dismal. Yes, they have a parking lot, but it was totally full even when we got there at a fairly early hour (4:45 pm). And in the same vein, expect a "wait". I hear that you can get a drink at the bar upstairs while you wait, or I saw people bring a drink down to their crowded waiting are. We will definitely be back! read more

Came here for happy hour which is from 2-5 pm daily. Got a margarita on the rocks and 3 tacos: one chicken, beef and fish. You have a choice of crispy or soft tacos and the chicken and beef is shredded. They are pretty large tacos with a good amount of filling. My friend got a burrito and chorizo fries. He enjoyed what he ordered and he liked the flavor. You get big portions at fair prices which is great! You get free chips and salsa. The salsa has a good kick to it which the server said they use habaneros and other peppers in it. I like it a lot! Service was good and quick. We would return! read more
