Dos Alas CubaRican Café & Lounge

We picked the restaurant for its popularity and high praises by the reviewers. Unfortunately we were very disappointed.

Our food was definitely not done right. Our chicken skewers were very dry and tough. When we gave them a second chance by ordering the pork showers, it was again too lean and overcooked. The piñón (plantain and meat pie) was again not moist and soft. The plantain was starchy and tough, probably not ripe? probably in the oven for too long?

To be fair, the side order of amarillo (fried yellow plantain) was nice! Soft and sweet as it should be.

The server was apologetic as they were short handed, with a packed house. I don't blame them but yet, it will also not be fair to call the service great. Anticipating a crowd and putting in sufficient staffing is what we expect from a well managed restaurant, and we definitely didn't see that.

Unfortunately our experience was not nice and it will be difficult to see us coming back to this place.

Five stars because I can't give it six

Best food experience we've had in Mammoth Lakes. Food is excellent. Service is excellent. We will be back.

Nice restaurant with good food and grand views

Absolutely the best flavorful place to eat in Mammoth. If you want something other than burgers and beer, this spot is amazing. My new fav spot. I loved the veggie platter I had and it is adorable cute inside.

Best restaurant in Mammoth. Love that they immediately ask if you need a vegetarian menu. Only one vegan entree but it’s absolutely delicious. They also have a vegan dessert. This spot is always a must while we’re in Mammoth.

Amazing Food to get in the mountains. Make sure to make a reservation as seating is limited.

I might never eat dinner anywhere else in mammoth again.

Arrived on a ski week Sunday night and at 7pm could not find a place answering phones nor willing to put my name down. Plus my lady has Celiac disease... thought it was going to be a grocery store dinner. But then found these guys with just a half hour wait, and after an appetizing trek from the parking lot in a strong icy wind, stepped into the coziest little restaurant with the nicest waiters and best food and drink! They seated us right away, poured big, even gave us a space heater right under our table, and brought stuff out really quickly even though they were slammed. They joked around with us and encouraged us to take our time even though we were about to be the last ones there. Truly great folk. The Escabeche and Pastelón were to die for. They really turned around the night for us. Thank you Cristi and company!!

I love this place. I try to visit every time I'm up here in Mammoth. Super nice people, very good food, pleasant atmosphere.

Haven't found anything on the menu I wouldn't recommend. The Cuban sandwich is my go-to.

New favorite restaurant in Mammoth. Amazing food, service, and ambiance!!!

Absolutely my favorite restaurant in mammoth, perhaps my favorite restaurant in the entire eastern sierras (and we live in truckee!). The cubano sandwich blew our minds

Legit and delicious Puerto Rican / Cubano food, wonderfully owner operated, welcoming and fun oasis. We were lucky enough to come in on the shoulder season and stumble on this place after a long trip from Catalina to LA to Mammoth. Probably very difficult to get a table during the peak seasons. A little hard to find, park in the ranch gravel parking lot and walk the path, well worth it!

Amazing! As Cubans living in Miami, we never expected to find such a delicious Cuban/Puerto Rican restaurant in Mammoth Lakes. We made reservations at 8:30 pm and were seated promptly. The food, the service and ambiance were excellent! You can tell the owner Christy loves what she does because she gave us great recommendations. We had the garlic bread, piñon with rice and habichuelas (red kidney beans), and pork with rice and black beans. Highly recommend checking it out, you won’t regret it.
