I went for a late lunch on a Saturday. With my mother & 1 yro. We got delicious blackberry ice tea & the server brought out my daughter a little cup of fruit. ( which was super nice to keep her occupied) I ordered fish tacos with the cilantro lime sauce & my mom order carnitas street tacos! Both were great. Chips & very fresh salsa were yummy. I definitely will go back and recommend. This place is a win in Ferndale . read more

We stopped for lunch while exploring Ferndale. Dogs are welcome at the few outside tables. The waitress couldn't have been nicer, brought our dog water and was happy and helpful. The food - the fish tacos were the best I've ever had - I opted for the battered fish with chipotle sauce - choice of tortilla (flour, yellow corn or blue corn). I cleared my plate - so good. My husband loved his chicken mole - spicy but tasty. My son had a carnitas burrito which he demolished. The Chico iced tea with blackberry syrup finished the excellent experience. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I ordered the Michelada and the al pastor tacos. It was so delicious abs the service was on point. We will definitely be coming back. The service was seriously the best we've seen in all of Humboldt. read more

While we were a group of 10 it took an hour to get food once we were seated. The food is only the item listed. For example, the kids quesadilla is just that, one quesadilla cut into triangles. No beans, rice, etc. I got the fajitas and they were very disappointing. There was hardly any meat in a plate of peppers and onions. This came with the tortillas and a side of beans and rice, but nothing else. No cheese, no pico, no sour cream, etc. The margaritas and beer were good, but we wouldn't go back. read more

I went here with my family while travelling and we were lucky to get in while dine-in service was allowed; not sure if it's now allowed due to Covid-19. Anyhow we were very pleased with the food and service at this restaurant. Loved the chips and salsa. My margarita was delicious ( a lime margarita on the rocks with salt). My husband is a very discerning eater of Mexican food and he loved his fish tacos. We wish we lived closer so we could be regulars. read more

I hear ye bar service is great but the food was not up to mexican food standard. The salsa was just crushed tomatoes with slight flavor, in fact that is what is wrong with the food. Just lack of spices including jalapeño. Just saying read more

We visited Ferndale for a first time, and decided to have lunch in Tuyas. Loved to place. Food is excellent- we ordered chicken taco soup, fish tacos and camarones al mojode ajo. All we had was super tasty, fresh and authentic. And service was very good! Waiter was very professional and attentive. Next time we visit Ferndale, we know where we will eat. Thanks! read more

What a great dinner we just had! We're from the Bay Area --- with TONS of authentic Mexican food -- and all three of us loved what we ordered at Tuyas. The food was delicious, flavorful, and lighter than Mexican food often is. My sister -- not a vegan or vegetarian -- had the vegan burrito, and raved about it. I had the tostada -- light and tasty. My husband had the chicken chimichanga, and loved it. The decor was bright and beautiful, and the service was friendly and efficient. What a great find!! read more

Amazing! Fresh ingredients, tastes authentic, had La Tax (sp?) appetizer it was ok. The topping was good. Also had grilled and fried versions of classic fish tacos. Scrumptious. Chips were just right. So was the salsa. Got guac to go. Window seats nice, chair with back rest. Cloth napkins a nice touch but I prefer paper napkins. Server so nice and attentive and she had a 3/4 full house. Tall ceilings and ventilated - felt ok without my mask. Worth the trip to Ferndale! read more

Good chips and handmade white corn tortillas for the al pastor tacos which were also very good. Ceviche was a little bland but seemed fresh. Place is small so I can imagine getting packed when busy but they have an expansion next door opening in a couple months. read more

We found this gem while walking down the main road in Ferndale. I am not the biggest fan of Mexican food, so I was a little hesitant. I am glad we decided to eat dinner here, because I was surprised at how delicious everything was. The service was excellent as well. read more

Will be making the trip down to Fortuna more often to have a meal here. The pork verde & chicken mole were amazing. Lovely & friendly service too! Will be back! read more

Food was fresh and delish. Online ordering was easy. Pickup was fast and on time. Nothing to write home about but would visit again.

This place ROCKS! Large portions, priced right, DE-LICIOUS! A treasure in Ferndale. We got a dozen prawns in the shrimp cocktail, the house made tortillas were legit, same for the Chile verde street tacos. Friendly staff, quick service, cool art. Definitely will be back. read more

Tuyas - Mexican Near Me - Ferndale, California

Would like to believe that this restaurant were better than it was. The food was of good quality, but what's with the skimping on the main ingredients? Fish tacos at lunch probably contained 1 ounce of fish, total. For $13.50 they were mainly cabbage and corn. A modest portion which would have been fine had there actually been fish on the tacos! A burrito al pastor was mostly beans and rice. Austerity measures? Careless in the kitchen? Iced teas with fruit syrup were refreshing. Service was odd in that the server seemed inauthentic and made us wait too long before taking our order, then never checked to ask how anything was. We will try again perhaps with caution. read more

Tuyas - Fishless Fish Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Ferndale, California

Enjoyed the easy ambience of this restaurant. Good decor, good food and sangria. I ate fish tacos, my wife had a salad. Both were to be recommended. Chips were fresh and warm. Cannot fault. We will be back next time we pass Ferndale. read more

Tuyas was one of our favorite spots to have lunch in Northern California. Our waitress hand mixed our drinks (BlackBerry Margarita with a light sugar rim) and suggested the egg battered Chili Rellanos which were delicious. The beans taste as if they're cooked in a bit of lard, we devoured them!! My friends had the Street Tacos & the Chili Verde with homemade flour tortillas, total hit! Atmosphere is great~ the restaurant itself is small but the aesthetic is tasteful. Think upscale Mexican bistro at a reasonable price point in a town that historic & nostalgic. Loved it! read more

See all

We loved this place! They were extremely accommodating and friendly. All 3 of us wanted street tacos but not necessarily the ones on the street taco menu and they accommodated us. All of the meats were tasty. The carnitas could have had a little more flavor but the fish taco was great. The interiors are bright and festive. A modern Mexican theme. We will be back! read more

Really 3.5 stars, but rounding up due to attentive and friendly service (outside). Fish tacos were good, but not sure great, the blue corn was worth the extra $1. Street tacos were tasty. Enchiladas were also good, think I like the green sauce more than red, but can't go wrong with either. The star was the rich, tasty flan, do save room! read more

Tuya's is an amazing place to have a great meal. My husband and I decided to head to Ferndale for our 24th anniversary lunch. Tuya's was the perfect place to celebrate. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and we loved the opportunity to dine outside and enjoy the sun. If you're local, add Tuya's to your list. If you're passing through Humboldt, give it a try. Ferndale is a great place to rest, eat, and shop. Thanks Tuya's. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Their tortillas are to die for. Great food and service. Face friendly. Would highly recommend.

I can't say enough about this place.......Amazing! Everything was excellent and authentic. Service, chips & salsa appetizer & Entree. read more

Tuyas - Tostada with Carne Asada (I topped with house salsa ) - Mexican Near Me - Ferndale, California

Tuyas has excellent food. Menu has a wide variety. We tried their special 'Fried Avacado bites' which were delicious. Arugula Beet salad is excellent for vegetarians. Our server was the best in terms of her knowledge of the menu as well as incorporating our dietary restrictions (Plant based, gluten and dairy free). Outdoor patio seating is perfect during pandemic with heated lamps. Perfect weekend dinner. read more

Want excellent Mexican cuisine then I highly recommend Tuyas restaurant in Ferndale! The menu had a good selection and the prices are very reasonable. I had the loaded quesadilla. It's the best quesadilla I've ever had hands down! The service was great, very friendly and attentive. Our wait person Trisha was a delight. Our out of town guests are self proclaimed foodies and they were very impressed with the food. They live in Napa, the picky palate mecca for fine food. They put this restaurant up there with their 5 star dinning experiences. read more

Wanted to eat lunch out in Ferndale and since I had dinner at Fat Ann's the night before we decided to try Tuyas. Ferndale is a small town, so I shouldn't have been surprised to realize the hostess was a childhood friend of my sister's, so what a nice surprise to see her. Anyway, in with the review. The menu looked good online with lots of choices. I chose the fish tacos. You can choose grilled or fried (fried) and from two different sauces (I got of each, you get two tacos). The tacos were large and filling. SIL had the taco salad which looked good too. It was fun to sit on the sidewalk on Main Street and watch what was going on in town. Will definitely be back again. read more

Food is great and that's the most important when your going to eat, the customer service was great, nice setting, waitress was nice.

The ambiance is wonderful here with spacious seating and wonderful light. This spot is our second year here on holiday and the food is good. We love the fish tacos. The wait service impeccable. Our food came out so fast. Sunny is our favorite server who is friendly with great local recommendations. We also had the fried plantains which was delicious but maybe minus sprinkles. Overall this is an awesome place with tasty and fresh Mexican food. read more

Great margarita. Homemade corn tortillas are AMAZING. We had the ceviche and fish tacos (both really fresh and yummy).

I had the super quesadilla and my wife had the fish tacos. We had the nachos perfecto for an appetizer. It was so outstanding that we actually came back two days later to order the exact same thing. The staff were so kind and attentive. This is definitely a place we will talk about in the future. Thank you for the great experience! read more

Sad. A little doubtful at first because I hear it's owned by the shamus t bone group. We called for a reservation. The employee was super friendly and very accommodating. We show up at our blocked timeframe. We ordered the ceviche as an appetizer. The chips were good but stale. I had the carne Asada . Wife had carnitas sopes. My son had chicken tacos. Chicken tacos were cold, carne asada was .....I'm not sure. And the sopes needed salt. Overall the food was incredibly disappointing. I went with high expectations but was treated to another one of Humboldt county's finest disappoints. I might go back after they've practiced the game for a few months. Service was good. Decor was fun. read more

We took a fun drive up the 36 to Ferndale from Sacramento. This restaurant was in walking distance from our bed and breakfast and a bunch of cool shops. Our server, Tricia was super friendly and gave top notch service. You must try it! I ordered a chicken salad, tortilla soup and my husband ordered the chicken mole. All of it was fabulous! It was the best Mexican food I've had in a long time! read more

Very rude mid age lady of around 40 years of age. She was skiny & was a waitress . This happened about an hour ago i gave her my name and my number so that she can call us when our table was ready in 30 min she said. Its been an hour now and i still have no call . Very bad service. Im never going back again... read more

After our hike we were craving something filling and delicious, so we decided to order Tuyas to go. I had the grilled fish tacos which were amazing, and my fiancé ordered a vegetarian chimichanga, which was also yummy. The portions were the perfect size and the food was ready quickly. Would definitely stop at Tuyas the next time we're in the area! I would've loved to check out their indoor dining because the restaurant looked so cute from the outside. read more

Friendly people, great chips. We had the large burrito with the lettuce and tomato and the chicken tortilla soup and both were good.

Great find in Ferndale with standard American "Mexican" fare. Nothing super fancy, but everything you'd expect. Homemade tortillas were great, and table chips and salsa were also surprisingly good. All our dishes (4 orders) were a-okay-- nothing that you'll write home to your abuela about, but absolutely fine fare. Lots of things on menu you could make vegetarian, but good luck vegans (tbh, American-Mexican is not your cuisine). Also, service was very nice, which is a DEAL in Ferndale. Experiences shopping/dining in Ferndale can often range from "aggressively ignored" to "annoyed there are customers present"-- for thinking itself a charming tourist draw, years of experience have demonstrated otherwise-- but service here was great. Will go again for sure. read more

It's our first time here and the food and service was amazing. The place is adorable and we were super excited to eat here. We had delicious ceviche for appetizer, 10/10 with the legit chips. Husband had the tamales 9/10, super good and a bit spicy with a kick. The raspberry tea is definitely highly recommended. I had the fish tacos with fried fish and chipotle sauce which is 6/10 only because the sauce seemed a bit salty, I was looking for something with more citrus. Definitely will be back! read more

I love Tuyas! Absolutely incredible food as well as service, the food comes quick and their cowgirl cocktail is a delicious and original treat . We've eaten here a couple times and look forward to coming back often, a real hidden gem in Ferndale. read more

We are very picky - have traveled through Mexico (east and west coasts) for the past 40 years. We know GOOD Mexican, we make good Mexican food, and this is GOOD Mexican food. Great service, clean environment, and wonderful food - just go. We would eat at Tuyas weekly if we lived nearby. read more

Had a great meal here on trivia night, that was cool. Great chile relleno, no seeds or veins, but plenty of CHEESE and tasty tomatillo sauce. Sopes were a smidge hard, but eveything was TASTY. Nothing greasy or salty, just TASTY. Would mosdef go back read more
