    Again. it has been proven that the best meals are ones that are cooked with love and served with a heaping helping of sincerity. This is clearly the case in Nacho Mama. A little hole in the wall in Garberville, CA. This lace serves up traditonal Mexican Street faire to passers by who would be missing out on a big slice of life if they failed to stop. We had 6 street tacos. All Carnitas, because that's what god intended to fill a street taco. Chips with Salsa and Guacamole. Ate on the surfboard table out back and they were scrumptious. Pro-Tip!! Beers can be had at the gas station across the street.

    So yum!!!

    Amazing food, fast service, cute little dog friendly patio. Perfect for a quick lunch with our family while we were on the road. Has kid friendly options.

    Decent place! Great for a quick taco and bathroom stop. Clean bathrooms. Tacos are good, lots of meat. Nothing bad to say about them, nothing extraordinary either

    Best food in town and exceptional service and experience, 10/10. Definitely worth the stop if you're in town or around the area.

    One of the best reasons to stop in Garberville. The beef tacos are amazing! So glad the recipes haven't changed although the owners have.

    Delicious burgers. I didn't realize it was outdoor seating…read moreonly. Somewhat steep prices $$$. for the food size and having to sit on wet cold benches. Bathrooms needed desperate help (dirty & had to wash hands outside in the cold) Otherwise this place had good vibes and friendly staff. Would love to come back in warmer weather if in the area

    Great stop for travelers with pets!…read more We stopped at The Peg House on our way to the Avenue of the Giants, and we're so glad we did! This hidden gem sits just off Highway 101, so it's easy to find. All of the seating is outdoors, with plenty of shaded spots -- perfect for relaxing without baking in the sun. There's even a stage area for live music. We stopped by on a Monday evening, so no music that day, but the atmosphere was still wonderful and laid-back. When we went to order, we were greeted by incredibly friendly staff who immediately offered our dogs some treats (always an A+ in my book!). Their burger and sandwich menu had so many tempting options that it was hard to choose. I ended up with a burger topped with jalapeños, while my partner went for one with bacon. The burgers were amazing -- the meat was tender and juicy, practically melting in your mouth. The toppings complemented everything perfectly, and the bun tasted fresh and fluffy. I also really appreciated the coleslaw -- not overloaded with mayo like most. My partner loved his meal too. We've decided this will be a new tradition every time we're in the area! Pro tip: Don't skip the gift store right next to the eatery. Pick up a Train Wreck cookie, Rice Krispy treat, and a brownie -- they're all incredible. We loved them so much that we stopped again on our way home to stock up. You won't be disappointed!

Wish this was near my home. Tuna logger bowl was a welcome item in a rural location. Good quality considering this is a brewery! Side of Mac and cheese was okay. They try to help it by adding bacon and green onions but it still tastes very similar to velveeta. Fries are super great! There are games to play like cornhole, Ping pong, table soccer. A fire pit. And there was a Friday night band for free, outdoors, so your ears don't blow off. Great. Actually quite good reggae and some energetic rock-ish songs too! Definitely understaffed, but all the staff are really moving and making an effort to provide the best service with a smile and accommodate. Go early before things pick up (before 5:30 or so), stay for the drinks, and maybe music.

The beertender suggested the fishes, so I had grilled fish tacos and he had ceviche. Both were spot on and very fresh. They were setting up for Lost Coast Line Dancing from 6-8 every Thursday, so I got a few shots of the line dance teachers warming up. They looked like they were really enjoying themselves. Wished we could have stayed longer.
