“This hide gem is a perfect taqueria. They have indoor sitting. They are one of the better places to get Mexican style food in arcata. Fresh ingredients and the salsa is house made which is as a plus super tasty! Staff is friendly and quick service. 100% worth trying! Beers are cheap however they have a small selection!“

Thanks for speaking highly about the people and place and making me optimistic about relocating. I look forward to eating here every day and trying all your specialties. Thanks for your wisdom neighbor!“

“The best ever dessert!! Delivered fast many stars 🌟“

“I don't care who you are or where you think is the best mexican food place is in humboldt county, but from my years in Mexico and southern California. This is the closest you can get to AUTHENTIC Mexican food.

To also note, over every other ralibertos PLEASE drive to this one over the eureka location due to price differences. I swear!! A bean and rice burrito is 7ish dollars in arcata while in eureka it's closer to 11 dollars. Addionally the deals that are available in arcata such as 5 any meat tacos plus a medium drink of your choice for 11 dollars isnt an option for the eureka locations. Lastly the service from the arcata location is extremely friendly and NEVER MESSES UP. Mostly due to personal experiences with the eureka location always leaving me pissed more than happy.

Thank you so much for your amazing food as I will never step foot in another eureka location ralibertos again.

Ps, I never usually write these reviews but it's gotten to the point where I'm this passionate enough to post a public review.
Love you ralibertos ARCATA!!“

“Simply the best flavored Salsa! Originally from Humboldt I started eating this when going back to visit family decades ago. Now all 5 siblings and myself no longer live there but stock up on Casa Lindra when we can. The enjoyment of this product has now passed to my 4 year old Granddaughter who will eat spoonfuls if given the chance. I still prefer a good tortilla chip with it myself?“
