    I've never tried this type of Mexican food, so I was super excited and curious on how the food was going to be. It's a small and clean restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and attentive! We ordered: mole oaxaqueño, milanesa, a burrito and some other oaxaqueño dish that was like a giant tostada, can't remember the name. Everything was delicious, especially the mole! Overall great place to eat!

    Really good food! This was our first stop when we landed and we weren't disappointed! We had the red sauce enchiladas and the chilaquiles with green sauce. Both brought a bit of heat but still filling and delicious. The red sauce reminded me a bit of mole. Both plates were demolished. Waiter was nice and friendly. Space is small but the food was good. They have a little parking lot in the front.

    Super Quesadilla

    Ordered the super quesadilla. Unique flavor with lots of veggies. Shredded chicken has a great flavor. It's very good accompanied with the verde sauce. Great service staff. Plenty of table while you are enjoying the Mexican music. Must place. To try if you are in the area.

    Friendly, prompt service and a huge menu! Breakfast all day. Both of our lunch items were good, although I would definitely opt for the shredded chicken. The grilled chicken was a bit dry.

    Great place to eat real authentic Oaxaqueña food! Service was excellent, we got to meet the owner, Raymundo, was very friendly and welcoming. The place itself is very nice, clean and colorful.. Highly recommended... -Pancho

    Pastor Chilaquiles- Red

    Incredible pastor chilaquiles. I will come back both food and friendly wait staff and cook.

    Mexican hot chocolate for dine in service.

    I recently moved to this part of Eureka and I was looking for a new go to for good hot drinks and breakfast burritos. I hit the jackpot here! The best Mexican Mocha/ Mexican hot chocolate and of course great burritos as well as food. I love that it is owned and operated locally. I have been working my way through the menu. If you come in the morning you likely will see the freshly made tortillas being pressed. How lucky am I!

    Great little Mexican place. They serve breakfast all day, but we opted for dinner. Food portions are generous, and the food was excellent. The staff was very friendly. It felt very welcoming here.

The shell was perfect, it added such a great crunch, the salad itself was good, and we had a lot of leftovers to take home as well ! The restaurant itself is super cute with a nice ambiance !

    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!

I just throw in some beans and rice and lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole. I mean, who puts lettuce in a quesadilla? To top it off, there was no silverware or napkins in my to go order. The taste is OK.

    We've been back a few more times since my last review so I figured I'd update since I have some…read morepictures this time. I'm still all about the chile relleno burrito so the last time we went I ordered one with carne asada and it was literally the burrito of my dreams. This time when we went inside I noticed a hand written sign above the cash register that said "The Raliberto" which was basically my chile relleno burrito plus carne asada, so I ordered it. I cut it in half, took a picture this time and noticed it wasn't the same, it had cheddar cheese instead of that delicious white cheese the relleno comes with, and I don't think the poblano was battered and fried, it was just a plain pepper that was stuffed with cheese- it was still very tasty just not the burrito of my dreams. I'm thinking since it was a special, they may have run out of the regular rellenos or perhaps they were cutting costs but next time I'll just stick with the regular chile relleno burrito. We also picked up an order of their other special, carne asada rolled tacos, which definitely don't need the added carne asada because guacamole is all them tasty suckers need but we snarfed it all down. I don't know when we'll be driving through again but this is a really solid spot that I'll always think of fondly.
