I decided to do a to go order, as the fast EV charging station was about a mile up the road. Too far to eat at the restaurant while waiting for my vehicle to charge. The restaurant was bright and clean, and everybody was friendly. It was a Saturday, so they were not doing the lunch specials. I decided to do the two item combo, a Carnitas tamale, and a chile relleno. It also came with rice and refried beans. They provided me with a bowl of chips and salsa while I waited for my food. The chips and salsa were very good. The chips were crisp and not greasy at all, and the salsa had just a little bit of a spice to it. Just enough that I knew it was there. The food came. There was a lot of food. So much, there were two to go containers. One had my main course, and then the other was the rice and beans. The food was just the right temperature The main course was a good size portion, and they were extremely generous with the rice and beans. The main course was very good. The breading on the. Chile relleno was delicious, it was not soggy, and the chile had a good flavor without being too spicy. The cheese was delicious, and it was just the right amount. On the tamale, they were very generous with the Carnitas, and they were delicious. They had a good flavor, and they had a good crisp to them. Just the way I like my Carnitas. I would say that the masa on the tamale was a tiny bit dry , and I wish there would've been more sauce on the chile relleno. There was some sauce, But it was absorbed by the breading. Still, overall, very good. The rice had a good texture, and was delicious. The beans were a little bit soupy, but overall also had a very good flavor. Overall, a very good meal. For food, soda, tax, and tip, Yes, the price is a little bit on the higher end, but I get it. It's Willow Creek. The food has to be brought in. Considering the quantity and quality of the food, the price was reasonable. This is a great place to stop when passing through town. Thank you!

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.
