The best Mexican food in the county, and the best customer service. Whenever I see them parked near me, I absolutely HAVE to buy...even if I'm not hungry. I'll buy some for later! read more

If it's not Los Giles... I don't want it. I've been eating there since 2017 and I love their salsa verde... best flautas.... Their meets actually have FLAVOR AND ARE SEASONED!!!!! My favorite guys ever. I will always hunt down their taco truck. Sweetest and best taco makers ever. My Tinder Profile used to only say "inquire about the best tacos in Humboldt CO" just so I could shout them out. read more

Phenomenal food, phenomenal owners, & phenomenal service. This place is absolutely delicious and I was lucky enough to catch them set up at Humboldt Cider taphouse in Eureka today!

We hired Los Giles to come to our Westhaven home to feed the crowd at my husband's retirement party. AMAZING!! Food was delicious, service seamless and fast, the entire experience professional. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat, despite their business name! LOL! read more

10/10 ! Our family eats here once a week. Either Tuesdays or Wednesdays while they are at Bigfoot taproom. Never disappoints!

Best food truck EVER. Worth the price, great service, and the best food. Nachos are loaded. Quessadilla is cheesy, greasy, and delicious. You can't go wrong with this place, I seen them out everytime I'm in town. read more

Went to one of their food trucks on Friday night markets in Eureka. Ordered their asada fries and what I got was a complete mess. Not only was the guacamole a thin goopy liquid (common here in humboldt) but the fries were crinkle cut and soggy af. They were most likely microwaved. It was the worst asada fries I've ever had. read more

Soooo GOOD!! We used to live near San Diego, and never thought we'd find such great Mexican food up here in Humboldt. Their burritos are delicious, great people working there, everything that we've ordered has been Delicioso! One of the best vegetarian burritos you can find, and their Logan chicken tacos are exceptional. A family run business that makes you feel like family! Highly recommended! read more

if you're from socal this is the closest you'll get to the mexican food out there. this is the best mexican food I have had in this county, they put passion into the food and it's right next to the taproom perfect after a drink or 3 read more

Absolutely 10 STARS for this familia owned and operated restaurant on wheels! Taking care of us bartenders through the crazy nights at sidelines and Toby Jacks made me a forever Fan. Ty to the two best bros in Humboldt County Love The Blonde Bartender californiaaaaaa ! read more

Los Giles is one of the best places to order Mexican food in Arcata. Considering that Arcata's interpretation of "Mexican food" is something with a lot of cheese, no spice, and no flavor, Los Giles is basically a Godsend to this community. Everything I've ordered from them has been tasty, well-portioned, and a great deal for the price. In addition to serving Arcata during the night hours, they also cater events and are a popular food vender at Humboldt County fairs and festivals. I've been very pleased with how professional the workers are, and with how quickly I get my food after I order. Additionally, I must add that many Mexican food venders who cater to the night-time, bar-goer population really bank on the fact that you'll be too drunk to care about your food, but I'm happy to say that Los Giles' food tastes great sober too. If you're a night owl, I highly recommend ordering from them! Los Giles is one of the most popular food venders in Humboldt County because they run a great quality business and serve delicious food. read more

Los Giles Taqueria - Very generous quesadilla de al pastor (comes with a side of lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole) - Mexican Near Me - Arcata, California

I was impressed with their vegan tacos. The tofu they use is delicious. And the prices are very reasonable. Would definitely eat their food read more

Los Giles Taqueria - Two vegan tacos. The purple light is from the stage lighting in the venue where I brought my plate of food. - Mexican Near Me - Arcata, California

Ordered super carnitas burrito and got carne asada which is fine. I like both. The burrito was flavorful and the tortilla seemed freshly made! I also ordered a super chicken burrito We asked if the chicken was chicken breast meat and they said yes. It was not chicken breast but rather chewy chicken parts. The rest of the burrito was good though. 3 stars for the carne asada burrito! read more

Awesome food, best Taqueria in all of Humboldt. Everything on the menu is worth a try. Highly recommend!!

I was visiting a friend in Arcata and after a late night full of live funk music, we were hungry and ready to chow down. Thank goodness my friend was an expert on tracking down this food truck! We arrived around 2 in the morning on a Friday night and while there were other patrons around, there wasn't a line. Thank goodness, we were seriously starving! A super friendly gentleman took my order and seemed to know my friend. They had a nice little exchange and it was clear that this food truck has some regular customers. I ordered a cheese quesadilla with a side of rice and my friend got a few tacos. The food came out fast and super-hot. I was shocked by the portion size and the cheap prices. This is seriously every drunk person's dream come true! I met my friends and we got our grub on. Everyone took a piece of quesadilla and it was the perfect way to soak up some of the booze we consumed earlier in the night. So cheesy! read more

I hired them in January 2022 for my wedding 9/10/22 and they bailed 10 DAYS before my reception. I found out they took the truck to the George Lopez show. They offered me a taco bar instead. Yes they provided some food for my event, but it was tasteless. I am extremely disappointed in their business ethics. I also did not appreciate the short notice as I couldn't make other arrangements. They also packed up and left without telling us. I still had guests that wanted food. SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT. They have lost me as a customer. I do not recommend them. read more

The Logan tacos... woww yum yum yum!!!! Service is good The seasoning on the meat is perfectly done read more

You can tell immediately when a food truck is legit. This is a perfect food truck. If you like meat and cheese, this is your sign: order a steak quesadilla. You will thank me. I loved the nachos as well. Everything came out quickly and tasted excellent. I couldn't recommend the food more. The workers were also kind and helpful. I'm hunting this food truck now on day 2 of my trip in this area. It looks like they post their schedule on social media. I found this season's locations posted on Instagram. When you hunt a food truck down the next day, you know it's that good. read more

I hate to be the one naysayer at the party but taking orders from your friends behind the truck while everyone waits out front isn't the best business practice. The line was HUGE and not taking people in the order they came made it longer. The burritos are too notch! read more

Best taco truck in the area. Only down side is tracking them down but I'll go out of my way for them for sure

Hair in food, no salsa, overall mid. Eat here if you're drunk LOL. Service was good though.

I liked that they had vegan options and let me custom make my burrito. I was even able to add French fries into the burrito, yummy

Best Mexican Taco truck in town!!! The prices are good for the amount of food they serve. read more

This is some of the worst mexican food I have ever had. The chicken in my taquito was to hard it resembled a chicken foot. It was not edible. I would not recommend eating here read more

Solid tacos, excellent super-cheesy quesadilla. I drove over from Eureka to catch them just before they closed for the night, and it was worth the trip! read more

Los Giles Taqueria - These bois were still yummy after the drive back to our Eureka hotel room - Mexican Near Me - Arcata, California

One of my favorite asadas hands down. These guys are really great. Long lines for a reason. Blue lake has been their location for this weekend. I've been hunting them down since I got here. read more

Definitely my favorite folks in town to get Mexican food from. Super friendly, always willing to accommodate. The shrimp quesadillas are a revelation, and their carne asada is good in anything and everything. Highly recommended! read more

Im literally watching some random dude hop-in the truck and make shit, with no gloves as im asking for sauce. Nachos , no Nacho cheese just f**cking cheddar melted in a microwave and bro i waited and watched them take some other dude's order at the back of the truck , make his food,and charge him as I waited in the "front" of the line at the "front of the truck. Also the pastor taste the same as the the shredded beef , they both taste like shitty birria you get at a quinceañera. Don't believe the hype. read more

I work in food service generally I think yelp reviews don't give justice to the people working. Seriously, not this time. I waited 45 minutes just to order. At a certain point I decided to stay just because I would have felt like I lost just by leaving. The whole time people were cutting by going around the back, the owner was pouring shots of tequila for girls who looked 18 or 19, and by the time I ordered the truck was so full of people the staff couldn't move. There were people literally hanging off the staff while on the line. It was totally inappropriate. Almost an hour for a mediocre asada burrito? Don't bother. Just go to La Barca, it's a block away and you'll be much happier. read more

Supper yummy and authentic ! The tortas can be messy but they are finger licking good. Also the guys that work there are super sweet i was once given a sample taco because I wasn't sure on my order anyways, Never had a bad experience. 10/10 would recommend ! read more

I was staying the night in Eureka and a bartender at the hotel I was staying at mentioned that the best late night food was in the town over at this truck. I got the California Burrito and the Asada fries, wow they were the best I've had - ever. Yes the Uber out there and back at midnight was worth it!! read more

Hands down the best late night food you can get in Arcata. Everything* is fantastic. Be prepared to wait if you go on a weekend or when the bars close! read more

These guys are the best in Humboldt. Everything I've had here I've loved. I wish all the time that they had a sit down restaurant so I could go at least once a week for lunch for forever. read more

Great food. Great people. Open late. Win win win for everyone! It's a little hidden off the plaza right across the bank parking lot from the best outdoor retailer Adventures Edge. Well worth the walk. read more

Love this place for late nights. They are worth it. I love the asada fries with both salsas

Great food. Great service. My favorite place for Mexican food in Arcata. My only complaint is that the secret is out, and they just about always have a line. Everybody loves it as much as I do. read more

We stopped in this town for a night while driving the coast and this place ROCKED OUR WORLD. The pastor is incredible and the salsa on top of the tacos is a mild green sweet salsa, amazing. My husband had the California burrito el pastor and it weighed what seemed to be 10 lbs and was only $10 with a ton of meat. If in town GO TO THIS SPOT, ran by a pair of brothers who you can tell love their business and are having a blast doing it. read more

I'm a Chicana student from the Bay Area and this is the best Mexican food I've had in Humboldt! My favorites are the asada fries, carnitas torta and tacos al pastor. The prices are great for such generous portions. The guys are so nice and the service is always excellent, definitely worth checking out! read more

Has better Mexican food than most places in SoCal, not knocking off socal but they make extremely good carne Asada fries, couldn't get enough of it, lines are long but worth it, calling ahead only works some times, the only bad thing id say is that the days that they are there are really inconsistent read more

This is easily the best Mexican food in town the portions are huge, the food is quality, hot and fresh. The chile relleno and california burritos are awesome. Come out and support a solid spot, keep killin it guys read more
