“Alma's was a clear winner!
I asked around the harbor which taco truck put out the best tacos, and got a dozen different answers, I got a bunch of what if's, and these and thems, but Alma's Mexican Food Truck kept popping up...So, off we went! I had my pal Peckerwood Pete with me, and he's in a lot of pain from a fight he had with an angry beaver, so he said ...we'll eat in the truck..okay.
I'll tell you...those tacos were Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Delicious, differnt burritos. A ton of options to customize your burrito to your hearts content. These arn't retular mexican burritos, they are uniquely their own thing.

They use quality ingrediants, and they take care in preparing the food. This does come at a cost though, to your wallet and to your time. Orders here can take a while to complete, I would recommend calling in advance. The prices are also quite high for what you would expect to pay for a burrito.

All in all this gets a strong recommend from me, if you dont mind spending a bit extra for the quality.“

Casa Lindra Salsa company Mexican •

“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?“
