Games before lunch. Loteria.
Mike C.

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.

This was a birria quesadilla but they call it pizza. It was okay...

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..

I tried the garnachas and Jalapeño pupusas. They were sooo good! Also, the agua de mango is delicious as well as the fried plantains.

Food: pupusa (cheese, bean&cheese, & mix) & garnachas Drinks: arroz con leche & jarritos

First time trying Guatemalan food and it didn't disappoint. The food was full of flavor and just amazing to taste. Would definitely come back, service was nice too (:

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.

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.

Garnachas

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.

This restaurant has great authentic Guatemalan food. The ladies working there make everything from scratch and it's very homemade tasting. You can tell it's made with love.

Chicken Empanadas

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!

Delicious Homemade Mexican Food--The Perfect Post-Hike Meal!…read more We came here for dinner after a long day of hiking in the redwoods and were so glad we did, as the food was incredibly tasty and satisfying. Oaxaca Grill is a wonderful, family-run restaurant in downtown Eureka, operated by the parents, Carmen and Tony, and their daughter, Yuri. Carmen is the main chef, and you can truly taste the care she puts into making amazing homemade Mexican food. The ambiance is casual and cozy. We were traveling as two families and easily found tables on a Tuesday evening for an early dinner. The main dishes completely hit the spot: * Garlicky Soft Prawn Tacos: My wife ordered these, which were served with sautéed onions, fresh garlic, and the most amazing, flavorful mango salsa on the side. * Spicy Oaxaca Chicken Mole: I got this special dish, which featured a tender chicken breast topped with authentic, spicy Oaxacan mole. This mole is savory, rich, and incredibly flavorful, made from thirty imported Oaxacan ingredients. It came served with yummy rice and beans. * Prawn Soft Tacos: We also ordered these, and they were fantastic, paired with a crisp jicama coleslaw. * Kids' Dishes: Our children ordered from the children's plate options. My son got the chicken enchiladas, which came with fries and beans, and he absolutely loved it. My daughter had the cheese and bean burrito, which she really enjoyed as well. * Desserts: To wrap up the meal, we tried the coconut flan and the crème brûlée. Both were a sweet end to the night, and the crème brûlée in particular was absolutely amazing. Overall, it was a fantastic, comforting dining experience with wonderful hospitality. If you are in downtown Eureka, this family-run spot is highly recommended!

This place is a dump. Apparently the male waiter does not respect single diners. I was ignored…read morewhile he offered every table but mine another basket of chips, even though I had ordered some guacamole, which is served with chips -- and there were not enough given with the order of guac. This guy just skipped me and acted as if I were invisible and he was behaving suspiciously and was very rude -- as if he did not trust that my bank card would work (?!). Humboldt has mostly mediocre or worse Mexican food, so I suppose those who come here have low standards and/or do not know good Mexican food. I agree with some other reviewers that this place has been weirdly overrated.

A Chorizo Revelation at Patino's: My First Food Truck Adventure…read more You ever have one of those hunger pangs that sneak up on you like a surprise attack? That was me, driving home, stomach making questionable noises, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw it--Patino's Mexican Food. A little food truck, parked like a hidden gem, just waiting to be discovered. Now, here's the thing: I had never stopped at a food truck before. Not once. But something about this one--maybe it was fate, maybe it was hunger-induced bravery--made me pull over. "Alright, let's do this." I walked up, scanned the menu, and like any self-respecting fan of Mexican food, I zeroed in on my personal favorite: chorizo street tacos. Three of them. Because one? Not enough. Two? A warm-up. Three? Now we're talking. They handed me a pager, and within 10 minutes--before I could even contemplate my life choices--I had my hands on a cup of homemade horchata (which, let's be honest, is like the nectar of the gods) and my three glorious tacos. Now, I had to document this moment properly...

Wonderful Food. Wonderful service. Cute little taco truck. I accidentally ordered tacos with the…read morered sauce not realizing how spicy it was and they graciously made me new ones without charge and let me give the others away if I wanted to. I will absolutely be back. I would love to try different salsas. Recommended by locals and I hope they are here to stay. Hospitable and full of integrity.
