Restaurants in the Mammoth Area

We've found three excellent restaurants in the Mammoth area. They are Wo Nelli Deli - the restaurant is in an unlikely place, a Mobil Station on the intersection of Route 120 (the Tioga Pass) and 395. Their fish tacos are outstanding but so is their pork tenderloin. If you like carrot cake - that is also excellent. Where else could you get your car filled up and get you filled up at the same time?

The second one is the Restaurant at Convict Lake, which is south of Mammoth. Again, don't be fooled by the exterior - they do indeed serve pizza. But they also do an outstanding Beef Wellington, Fresh Trout, Rack of Elk and then some daily specials. We had the Bananas Foster for desert but there is also some excellent homemade ice cream.

The third restaurant is Mexican and called Gomez's. It is an interesting menu with excellent homemade chips and salsa. I tried their Machaca - they also serve the same dish called La Ropa Vieja - which is without the eggs. Good Machaca starts with pulled beef - and Gomez's takes that extra step. Finally, they have great soups - Albondigas and Tortilla soup. The restaurant is off main street behind the 76 station. It is a fun place to eat - and I am very picky about Mexican food.
