Falaf.a.lot

Falaf.a.lot is a small Mediterranean-style kitchen in Mariposa turning out fresh, made-to-order falafel that's earned a 4.9-star rating across 25 reviews. Run by Miles and his team, the kitchen works with local produce, and the falafel itself gets singled out again and again for being crispy outside and light and fluffy inside.

What to Order

Reviewers point to two dishes most often: the salad plate topped with falafel, and a stuffed pita one visitor described as "the size of my face." The kitchen also earns repeat mentions for its vegetarian options.

Atmosphere

Falaf.a.lot doubles as a low-key hangout as much as a place to eat, with reviewers describing a chill mountain ambiance, good vibes, and music playing while you eat — and noting it sits next to one of the area's go-to spots for local live music. It's moderately priced, and the combination of food and setting is enough that some visitors have come back for dinner the very next night of their trip.
