I stopped in for lunch. A nice little space. They have a decent menu with breakfast items, and both Mexican and Guatemalan items. They also have Guatemalan items for sale over at the register. I decided to go for the garnachas, which is a Guatemalan street food, similar to a sope. These were like little mini sopes. . The corn masa cake base was delicious, and it was not over fried. The ground beef was seasoned very well, the veggies gave it a nice pop of freshness. The cheese was great, and I especially loved the sauce. The sauce just brought it all together. There was a little pile of jalapeño, onion, and carrot in the middle. I didn't touch the jalapeño. I tried the carrot and the onion, but they were too spicy for me. Not a big deal. It was a nice lite lunch, and with soda, tax and tip, the price was very reasonable. I definitely want to come back and try more items off of this menu. Thank you. read more

Food at Guatemalan Yum Yum was 100% delicious, authentic and reasonably priced. We ordered garnachas, empanadas, pupusas as well as Tamales. If only this restaurant was in LA, we'd be there all the time supporting this gem of a location because finding Guatemalan food is somewhat rare!! GYY, what a treat to find in Humboldt, the in dining experience would have also been superb as the location offers plenty of comfortable seating to choose from. We however were on a road trip and enjoyed all of the food including a passion fruit água fresca from the car! read more

I wanted to like this. It was very plain. Service was slow and we were the only ones in the restaurant.

We had the papusas Which we never had before and they were great. It's like a stuffed pancake made of yellow corn masa , and stuffed with different things from meats to veg is and cheese. I highly recommend this place . We will go back to try their other selections on the menu. Family owned read more

Delicious food and Margarita! I ordered the black bean pupusa and passion fruit Margarita. It was scrumptious. Friendly staff. I highly recommend! I love this place!! read more

So we had decided on lunch by the waterfront, but it didn't work out. Checking Yelp this restaurant appeared nearby and seeing the name and pics we were drawn like a moth to the flame. If you don't have the cash to travel to Guatemala and taste the amazing cuisine there, may I suggest that you make a stop here when traveling along the Northern California Coast. We couldn't help but order a little of everything on the menu and share it all around. The hot chocolate (champurrada) is amazing. The Guatemalan tacos, plátanos, tostadas, atol de elote, fresh tortillas, etc, etc, were to die for. Don't think about, just go! Great service, great food, full stomach. read more

The young girl serving us was very kind and great. The food was okay. The garnachas were very hard, and these are my son's favorite therefore, he only ate 3 and left the rest. I got a burrito I didn't like it... My other son got chilaquiles with chicken but the chicken wasn't good... it was okay but not the best Guatemalan! I've tried better.. read more

Guatemalan Yum Yums is easily one of my favorite restaurants--after just one visit. I had the pupusas, handmade corn tortillas filled with pork and beans, and they were absolutely incredible. The textures, the deep flavor, and the variety of sauces were unforgettable--rich, balanced, and clearly made with love. My friend ordered the breakfast burrito, and even that surprised me--it had this subtle, almost Pakistani-style flavor twist that made it truly stand out. I usually don't like breakfast burritos, but I'd order that one in a heartbeat. The service was warm and kind, and the whole experience felt like a hidden gem worth discovering. If you're anywhere near Eureka, don't miss this place. read more

So good!! We loved the fried plantain, garnachas, longaniza, chuchito tamal, and aguas frescas - piña especially!! Their tortillas were sooooo yummy!! Cute and spacious restaurant with lotería at each table. Awesome staff that were friendly and informative to help us choose our dishes. read more

The service here is very friendly. It's a quiet casual atmosphere and the food is quite good. We had the chicken plate and shoku. The shoku was amazing, with a mix of meats and awesome sauce. Highly recommended! read more

My partner and I just got done eating at Guatemayan Yum Yums after a gym session and oh my! It hit the spot. We shared an order of garnachas and a mix of pupusas (jalapeño con queso, chicharrones con queso, revueltas), as well as a Famosa lager and a champurrado. The service was great and everything was delicious. We highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Guatemayan Yum Yums - Food: pupusa (cheese, bean&cheese, & mix) & garnachas Drinks: arroz con leche & jarritos - Empanadas Near Me - Eureka, California

it was mediocre at best. The empanadas came dosued with some salad and were shiny from the deep fry! The tamale had zero salt. The lady serving us was wonderful and she is the reason why I'm giving two stars. read more

I ordered the Garnachos for delivery. What a joke. I will not be ordering from them again. The restaurant needs to figure out how to package this order better. read more

The Yelp reviews led me to try this place, and their outdoor signage encouraged me to show up during happy hour for their discounted cocktails. Unfortunately, the restaurant was under some construction, and on a quiet Thursday afternoon at 430 was nearly deserted. It doesn't seem like a happy hour destination, brightly lit and sparsely occupied. Service was pretty slow and disinterested. No visible bar, so my pina colada drink was made in the back with an extremely long wait, and no offer of a second one. Husbands Modelo Negra was $5.50 in the bottle, a fair but not stellar deal. So drinks are not their priority. But the food is clearly a priority! We tried a bean and cheese pupusa, and a jalapeno and cheese pupusa, plus a single green corn tamale. Saucy cheesy gooey and delicious, we were stuffed. Sorry no photos, but definitely worth a try! read more

The food is so good and the environment lacks a little light, but goes with the ambiance. The servers are friendly, but it does take a few minutes to be seated, be patient it'll be worth it. read more

Visiting Eureka from Southern California and found this place on Yelp. Ordered (to-go) a carne asada burrito w/o onions and two revuelta pupusas. Staff was professional, polite, and location was neat and tidy. Food tasted fresh and was prompt, but I couldn't help but feel that the food tasted like the cook has never had genuine Mexican or Salvadoran food. The flavors were off or non-existent (with the pupusas). The burrito came with onions and a type of rice that you encounter in a lot of frugal instant rice meals. With that being said, mea culpa for ordering Mexican and Salvadoran food at a Guatemalan restaurant. Still, I would visit again just to try their Guatemalan dishes, and truth be told, we still ate everything. I would give them 3.5 stars if I could, but Yelp only lets me give them 3. read more

Hand made tacos are soooo good and always the same. Staff is nice. I was hooked on the pupusa's but I went one time and they didn't have enough filling as normal. So, I stopped getting them. Sadly, they are really good before though. read more

My partner and I have gotten dinner to go two days in a row and I only managed to take a pic of one food item, we immediately devoured things before I thought to take a picture but luckily reordered and I remembered to get the garnachas captured. Absolutely delicious. I'm so stoked for great food made with love. We've tried the pupusas de frijoles y queso, arroz con leche, fresca (piña AND strawberry), tres leches cake, fried plantain, and rellenitos. My only disappointment was I which the rellenitos were a bit mushy, I expected more of a crispy fried popper texture. read more

Found this little gem while visiting Eureka looking through reviews the food looked so good and I had to try it! My favorite was the garnachas which come with ground beef. I asked to try with steak and I'm so glad I did! They're small comes with 6, good for sharing. Ask for a side of spicy salsa if u like it more spicy! We tried the chicken Chuchito that was delicious! Also small, should have tried more. We got the chicken empanadas also very good. Totally must try! read more

Omg... like, really, my mind is blown!!!! It's that freaking good. Had an empenada, and it was so good. It was stuffed with vegitbles ans chicken, fried to GBD (Golden brown and delicious) with this very tasty and mild sauce. Also had the garnachas and they were great also. read more

Love the food here! Always fresh and just about the nicest people in the world. I'm so glad that we have this latin-american treasure right here in Eureka! Very authentic and super delicious! My favorite are the Papusas!!! read more

The food was so delicious! Everything was flavorful and fresh. We could hear the chef pat pat pat pat-ing the tortillas before cooking them. The pupusas and guarache were my favorite. When we were there only 1 person was manning the whole place so considering that, service was great! It's kind of an awkwardly situated little spot. It looks like they might be fixing up the space next door, though, so hopefully they will expand a little. read more
