friendly staff who are very welcoming and helpful. food was prepared quickly. meals were satisfactory and went beyond our expectations. very satisfying and filling meal. they give each guest their own salsa dish with complimentary chips :)

★★★★★ 5.0 Rael Schulman · Feb 2026

I love this spot! The tall ceilings and spacious dining room are not an illusion, this place is huge and the roominess is nice! Everyone is very friendly, the food is delicious, and they're reasonably priced to boot. The view of Arcata Bay is a bonus.

I washed my dishes with industrial cleaner at work again, waiting for the residue to slowly poison me. It's hailing and the sun is out, the rainbow is nowhere to be seen. The ice is a lense that blocks my view and only brings a sheet of coldness which we cannot control. The roads are slick now, waiting for someone to run for hope, waiting for someone to try and escape. Best Taco Tuesday awesome staff 5 stars!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kevin D Sherman · Mar 2023

Very good food at a reasonable price (especially for the North Coast). The service was great and we were a large party. The mole burrito was fantastic: recommend the grilled chicken. Enought for a filling meal, and took half home for the next night. Excellent margaritas and a full bar.
