“Alma's has some of the best Mexican in the county! Their tortillas are fresh-made with a nice flouriness. Some burritos are heavy on the rice, some on the beans--Alma's leans towards beans, with plenty of sauce. My favorites are the popular al pastor (which has lots of pineapple!) and the chicken mole “
“Best dine-in taqueria in NorCal. Street tacos, birria, tamales and tortas are all amazing. Gluten free and dairy free options are generally the default here.Vegetarian options: Not many offerings for vegetarians.Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy free options are available.Parking: Only a few parking spaces available. Park around the corner at the weird gun store if no spots are available“
“I've been going to this place since they opened and I can honestly say they have the best burritos in the county. The hot salsa is to die for good. I'd recommend the super carne asada burrito.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options for the vegheads.Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly meal options of course.Parking: You just park anywhere in the parking lot, it's a big parking lot!!Wheelchair accessibility: It's a burrito truck, so there are no wheelchair restrictions.Dietary restrictions: The people that run it are great people who would be happy to make a dish that fits a particular diet.“
“My favorite burrito in Arcata and possibly Humboldt they have lovely tortillas. I’ve only ever had friendly customer service experiences as well. I’ve yet to go to their new location physically, but had takeout with a friend and it’s as delicious as ever.“
“Valley Azteca really and truly makes my favorite ceviche in town. I've tried the ceviche almost everywhere in town and no one has been able to rival the limey goodness of Azteca's shrimp ceviche. Also, the Azteca salad comes with a truly unbelievable amount of shrimp. I appreciate it every time. The beans are good here, the horchata is good here (not too sweet), crispy potato tacos are great too. Really large menu and kind waitstaff. I will vote this the #1 restaurant in all of valley west.“
