    Carne asada nachos
    Karley E.

    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.

    Very generous quesadilla de al pastor (comes with a side of lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole)

    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.

    Two vegan tacos. The purple light is from the stage lighting in the venue where I brought my plate of food.

    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

The food came relatively quick, but because it was coming so far, it was just warm by the time it got to me. That was not a problem, it reheated just fine in the microwave. There was a lot of food. It started out with an order of chips and salsa. The chips were thick. I normally like the thinner chips, but these were extremely good. They were not greasy at all. There was also a good portion. It came with a spicy salsa that was a little bit too spicy for me, and a mild salsa. My dad had the idea of mixing the two salsas together. Doing that, it was just right for me. It had just a little bit of heat. It was still a little bit too spicy for my dad. I also split the appetizer with my dad, Four shredded chicken, mini tacos. It also came with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole. We both liked it very much. The mini tacos, were a good size. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, the shredded chicken was tender and delicious, and we liked the sour cream and guac. An extremely good appetizer. Of course I forgot to get a picture. The main course was all mine. I had the Chile relleno and a shredded beef enchilada. Another home run. Both the chile relleno and the. Enchilada were good sized, they were both tender, and they were both delicious. The chile had a good flavor, and it was not spicy at all. It also came with rice and my choice of refried beans, pinto beans, or black beans. I had the black beans, just the right texture and they also had a very good flavor. The main dish had enough sauce, that I was able to put some of it onto the rice and beans. It just added to the great flavor. There was so much food, I ate about half of my main course, and a little bit of the rice and beans, and saved the rest for breakfast the next morning. It was just as good reheated the next morning. Even coming from DoorDash, the price for everything was very reasonable. We both enjoyed the food from here very much. We would definitely DoorDash from here again, and we would also like to go into the restaurant itself the next time we are in Arcata. Thanks for a great meal.

    this is our go to for sunday brunch when in town. there is just so many things that they do better…read morethan anyone else in their genre. Lwts start with their Menudo... served every day but i prefer mine on Sundays. Savory, hearty, and the very best in the region, i find it loaded with tripe, often too rich for a bowl, but perfect for a cup (which is above average size) And i cant go any further without mentioning the drinks. while the drink menu is huge, the margaritas are on point, and if you are unsure try the skinny. its a great margarita, lower on the shugar side leaning into the fresh orange and lime juices rather than the simple syrup. another regional best. they have a full bar and quick tip, the bloodys are fire... you wre welcome... thie decor is eye catching and festive, the service is great, and there is plenty of room even if it gets busy. its also conviently located just off the 101 freeway in arcata so its a great road stop. its leaps above the other road stops nearby. no comparrison. Chorizo and eggs, Chile Rellano plate with 2 eggs on the side, and fresh flour tortillas is our go to.. but honestly ive had other dishes and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Sunday brunch in a cool unassuming spot you never suspected to be so worth a repeat visit on your next trip through. cheers and well done! see you guys real soon!

    Was walking distance from the campground so that made it easy…read more Really nice inside and great staff. Pitcher of margaritas hit the spot. Great chips and salsa. My wife liked her beef taco and cheese enchilada combo. I really liked my 3 piece combo too.
