Reviews for Mourelatos Cable Car in Tahoe Vista, CA
Fun place to get icecream and sit outside.
Worst excuse for an ice cream shop ever. Very expensive and horrible dish preparation. The person making my half chocolate half... vanilla sundae was reading a recipe. Instead of marshmallow sauce she substituted dry stale marshmallows. There was supposed tobe hot fudge sauce? nada. $12.75 for this ?sundae? in a small round paper cup. And asked for a tip before serving anything!Looks like a cute old fashioned place. Don?t fall for it. Read more
Possibly the best chocolate milk shake I?ve had in 40 years. Start with excellent ice cream. Add only milk. Blend and serve.... Enjoy while you stroll down to Tahoe Vista recreation area or sip as you drive around Lake Tahoe. Small operation so go preparedto wait. Nice seating in the back under the tall pines. This is what summer tastes like. Read more
This is a small shop with fairly limited parking around the back of the shop, but its Lake Tahoe - parking is always limited.... The grass seating area provided shade and chill area to enjoy our sweet treats. All of the staff were very friendly, the priceswere fair, portions were decent size and the ice cream was delicious.

Outdoor only and still require a mask to order with no one around. Out of most ice cream and asked for a Gummi worms and he... gave us one and charged for an extra topping. Kid at the counter super rude to my party. Vanilla ice cream we got had massiveice chunks in it. Lost my business. Will go elsewhere Read more
This place was horrible, we ordered a vanilla cone and a strawberry milkshake, the cone was totally melted and when my husband... asked the guy about it said i"it's just really soft" the milkshake was liquid there is no other way to describe it. 20 minutesafter my husband has the milkshake he was doubled over with stomach cramps and camping out in the bathroom, not a pleasant endto an otherwise beautiful day, I give this place a solid thumbs down. ????

Terrible experience. My husband and I stopped by last night for a malted milk shake. There were 2 young boys working... The... clean cut kid seemed ok but the dark long haired kid with the bandanna wrapped around his head seemed "put out" when I orderedthe shake extra thick with malt... For some reason they had the tub of vanilla ice cream sitting out and you could see it waspretty melted. The two of them made a comment to each other about how long it had been sitting out. (obviously long enough to besoupy!) Since I asked for the shake to be made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup, I had a feeling he wasn't going topull off making a thick shake from the looks of that melted vanilla..... Sure enough, he handed me a shake with the consistencyof "chocolate milk." Yuck. So now I was put in a position to ask him to make it over but with chocolate ice cream instead...Both the kids acknowledged the vanilla was melted, but the kid with the dark hair was just rude. He went ahead and made thesecond shake with chocolate ice cream but forgot to put the malt in it.... There was no way I was going to ask him to add maltat this point - so we just left. Read more
Menu items are a bit pricey at this point in time, but everything was delicious and the service was super fast, even when we... ordered several items at once for our large group. Parking is limited, but there is a nice shady grass area to sit and enjoy! Read more
