I pulled up, and the lady comes out to talk to me, she asked me if I had been there before and I said I didn't. She said take a look at the menu, and I will come back to you. It turns out she was going back-and-forth between being the cashier, and taking orders. If they had a box, it wasn't working. I decided to go with the pulled pork sandwich on a baguette, I chose all of the veggies, with no cheese or avocado, which was extra price. I requested the barbecue sauce, which was the non-spicy version. The sandwich was excellent. The baguette was a very high-quality roll, the pulled pork was savory, and all of the veggies were nice and crisp. The barbecue sauce tasted like it was a vinegar based, and it had a great "Tang" to it. It provided a nice pop of acid to offset the richness of the pulled pork. I could only finish half of my sandwich, and I had the other half for dinner. The sandwich came out to $14 and change after tax, , which was reasonable for such a good sandwich. The reason I'm taking off a star, is because of the wait time. The wait time from when I pulled up till when I pulled out with my sandwich was roughly 15 minutes. That's quite a wait for a sandwich. You can order ahead online, but you still have to wait in the line to pick up your food. They do delivery, but they only do one delivery run a day at 11 AM, and so you have to get your order in on time. They shouldn't have the person running back-and-forth between being cashier, and taking orders as well. Maybe have another person taking orders. Hopefully the next time I come back, the wait won't be so long. I wish these guys would get a "brick-and-mortar." They would do very well. Thank you!

Fish was panko breaded and fried which is different than the beer battered fried I'm used too. Fish could have used more seasoning and I like my fries a bit crispier. However portion sizes were good, with 2 large fish pieces and a ton of fries! Needed more than the 1 cup of tartar sauce for the amount of fish. Chimichurri fish sandwich was good. Fish was flakey and the chimichurri gave a nice flavor and acidity. Staff was friendly and food was out fast. Overall: 3.5/5

As a mom who loves a good bacon cheeseburger, this place has always been one of my favorites. In fact, when I was pregnant with my now 12-year-old son, I think I was there at least twice a week satisfying my burger cravings. The food is consistently delicious, but what really keeps me coming back is the people. Everyone is always so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It's the kind of place where you're greeted with a smile and made to feel right at home. Thank you for years of great food, great service, and great memories. I'll definitely be back for another bacon cheeseburger soon!

The tables weren't too crowded together, though there was not an abundance of space. There is also outside seating! The staff: The employees were quite kind and helpful! The food: One of the people in my party ordered linguini with clams and the clams were so overcooked, they were tough to chew. Another person in my group had very overcooked steak. Besides that, all the other food was very good and surpassed expectations! I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and crème brûlée and those dishes were both a delight! The fettuccine Alfredo came with a side of miso soup, which came with some bread. Final thoughts: Though a couple dishes turned out a little overcooked, I would definitely come back again!

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 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.
