Started with chips and salsa. They make their own salsa dip. 2 types, spicy and no spice. I like a mix of both. I ordered a house salad and my husband ordered the 4 taco. They were both very yummy. The salad was fresh. My husband ordered 2 fried fish taco and 2 shrimp taco. The ingredients tasted fresh and portion was huge. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Loved to see local food producers selling their goods directly to the public. Didn't love that…read moreprices are so high. ($6 for a pint of strawberries? A few hours later I paid $4 from a farmer's food stand along the highway, and OMG were they delicious!) The music is very nice while you're browsing the square block of vendor stalls arranged along the perimeter of the plaza. The music is painful when you're right next to the speakers in the center, where the food venders are. Bought some fantastic bread from Beck's Bakery, and some wonderful, fresh veggies from a local organic grower. Tried 3 food vendors; 1 was great, 1 was good, 1 was a waste of $16 (for my tastes, anyway).

this is our go to for sunday brunch when in town. there is just so many things that they do better…read morethan anyone else in their genre. 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. Sunday brunch in a cool unassuming spot you never suspected to be so worth a repeat visit on your next trip through. cheers and well done! see you guys real soon!

Chips and salsa....very entertaining...chips were definitely bulk purchased and not made in house...not faulting them for it ...they were ok. Salsa reminded me of the jarred/canned stuff from the 1980's (i lived in northern california at that time). salsa was served in adorable little syrup dispensers that you can dispense into plastic cups. props to them for the sanitary salsa dispensing system. tacos... girl got 2 carnitas ..she liked them...i wasn't a fan. i got one shredded beef which i liked and one alpastor which was ok. ordered a margarita and upgraded to Don Julio...it really wasn't good... but made up for taste by being big. 3.5 stars for the tacos 5 stars for the service (very friendly) 2 stars for the marg 2.5 stars for the salsa & chips pay at register when you're done. there are TV's playing sports so thats cool i would come back. i would like to try the regular menu and maybe a specialty marg
