Since no one was inviting anyone over out of Covid-Crazy-Creepy-Crawly fear, this made a lot of sense at the time. If you've never cooked a turkey on a Weber Kettle... well, you're letting the best in life pass you by. Now, our tradition has changed to going camping for the days leading up to Thanksgiving, and heading home for the big day. Nice to see family and friends, but we still enjoy that cool NorCal vibe in the forest. This past year, we tried a new spot just north of Boonville, CA, which put is pretty close to Ft. Bragg. On one of the days we were in the area, we ventured into town for a nice meal. We found Los Gallitos by chance, looking for a spot to part my truck. This was a nice little Mexican restaurant, and had all the markings of a family business. In short-- delicious food. Sometimes these small town spots can be hit or miss; this place was definitely great. The carne asada was better than the chicken, but I always think that. My youngest got a Shrimp and Pulpo cocktail that was amazing. My cheese enchiladas and Chile relleno were off the hook delicious, too. Not sure when our travels will take us back to Fort Bragg, but we will definitely stop back in here again to see our new friends.

This place is bursting with bold, authentic flavors and offers a true gastronomic experience. We ordered the Tapas Trio, Traditional Cochinita Pibil, and the Cioppino, and every dish was outstanding. The appetizer was packed with flavor, the pibil was beautifully seasoned and tender, and the cioppino had a rich, layered broth that was delicious without being overpowering. The kids had the Alfredo and cheeseburger which they both devoured. On top of the incredible food, our server was genuinely warm and attentive, which made the experience even better. No picture made it coz we were too hungry.

We come from a little town 3hours away and this hit home in the best way. We decided to go with pastor as the meat choice and it did not disappoint.

I would recommend and I'm without a doubt telling my friends and family whenever we come back!

The steak was a bit dry to my liking. The salas had a kick to it which complimented the flavors well! The tortillas came out of a bag, don't have Mexican coke just normal canned soda. Their horchata I would pass on, not enough cinnamon, just really sweet and watered down. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (3/5): Tacos in a box, standard looking street tacos coming out of a food truck. Take it to glass beach down the steeet though and it's a whole different vibe! SERVICE (4/5): They were really patient with us ordering and changing our orders! TAKEAWAYS: Cash only.

We didn't get any food, but it looked like typical pub food (not too many vegetarian options). The waiter rang us up for beer to take home at our table, then we just grabbed them from the fridge near the front. I highly recommend trying the seasonal brews - they ended up being our favorites!

We did come in the off season (October), so I'm wondering if that was it as well. The staff were a little distracted throughout the experience and it was difficult to get ahold of anyone. I ordered the shrimp and chips, and there were 2 hairs in my food, and when I raised a concern the staff was not very friendly about it. My husband and his brother's food was okay, just very greasy. Overall, it was not horrible but not what I remember it being at all. That being said I am hopeful that when we visit again it will be just as good as it usually is.

We decided on getting a carne asada torta for breakfast. We shared one, which was enough for the both of us! Also, the worker, maybe even owner - cut the sandwich in half and each of us got our own plate which was super thoughtful and nice. The torta was pretty good! Also gave some sauce and he asked if we wanted a spicy salsa, we of course said yes! It was a habanero salsa, which was yummy and complimented the torta well.

And we're so glad we did. I had my doubts about this as all seating is outside and it's a little chilly out. As it turns out you eat in a tent with lots of heaters. I'm surprised the tent doesn't melt as it's so warm in there. I was happily impressed with the seating. There is lots of seating. There is also some seating on the deck without heaters and there were still people eating out there. There are mostly picnic tables you sit at snd share with other families. It's not shoulder to shoulder. There is a big gap between parties. So it was really comfortable. Their specialty is fish tacos, either grilled or fried. Most people got the tacos, next was the fish and chips and that is what we got. A basket includes chips and 3 large pieces of fish. The fish is very generous. We really enjoyed the fish and chips. The fish was moist and crispy perfect. And it was fresh and didn't taste fishy. The fries were crispy like I like them. The cup on clam chowder was the perfect size. It was creamy and full of clams and potatoes. This was the perfect size meal for two adults. They have a water cooler and cups for a self serve water station near the silverware. I recommend this restaurant to everyone and I'd come back again.
