“Enthusiastically recomend. . The falafel was amazing and crispy. So many sides to choose from and they are either all or mostly all vegan. Great flavors, quick service and awesome food. Pictures dont do it justice I am a terrible photographer... Updated from previous review on 2025-06-30”

“Hands down the best pizza in the county. The owners and staff are wonderful. Not only the best pizza but try there sandwiches. The meatball sandwich is my favorite and there pesto raviolis my favorite pasta. They also support/sponsor local sports and our community. Thanks, Babes D.Wheeler”

“Best Ruben I have had since NY!! The owners are so welcoming and the small dine in area offers excellent people watching in Henderson Center. Best Sandwiches in Humboldt! Plus a shop guitar for customers who feel like serenading the staff and patrons. So happy I finally made it here! Picture is "Linda's Beef Club"! Delicious! Sandwiches are lovingly named after Humboldt Locals ❤️”

“Reasonably priced and local homestyle eats in a cozy setting right on Main Street. Fluffy and soft biscuits smothered in the perfect amount of just-peppery-enough sausage gravy, excellent bacon, and good coffee in a large cup with free refills. Friendly and attentive staff. Quick service.”

“Just ate breakfast loved it. It was Fantastic, Service was Fantastic, just met the owner, she was Fantastic, It’s one Fantastic place.”

“Fantastic seafood! I LOVE the clam chowder and bread bowl! A must try.⭐️”

“From out of the area. Stopped in for dinner to go. The ladies at the register are extremely polite and thoughtful. The food was excellent ? I ordered a two item combo meal, a side fish taco and chips with salsa. Based on past experiences with take out at other places ( usually small portions) I wanted to share with my husband. But, let me tell you ! The portions are much larger here than other places I've been. We really didn't need the taco, but it was delicious .Everything was extremely good. IMO you can't go wrong ordering food from here. We will definitely make Taco Loco a stop the next time we drive through from the Bay Area .”

“We absolutely love this place it is so delicious, seriously so good. And the staff is super super super friendly and helpful. We all really enjoy going there. Coconut smoothie are 👍💯👍”

“This is a simple diner with positively amazing food. Everything we ordered was incredible. As a couple who often splits a meal we had enough for about four of us when we both ordered our own. I was able to pack it all up and take it out to somebody who needed it but if you're wondering about portion size it is ample and everything was delicious. The service was so steady that my coffee never had a chance to get cold.”

“Every time I pick up my daughter from College this is the place she choses to go to. We love your wonderful staff and the food is always amazing.”

“Really good pizza. My only complaint is the employees dont know how to do a half and half pizza with certain items being on each side. I want a half pepperoni half cheese but I want the pepperoni on the right side and the cheese on the left side. What is so hard to understand about that?”

“heaven. heaven on grotto street. this food is something you would dream of and think of for 3 weeks just off the thought. If i had a soul i would sell it to eat more delicious food from the esmeralda’s”

“My family and I have been looking for a great carnitas since moving here 4 years ago. How have we missed this place? Had the taco plate today and it was easily the best we have found in Humboldt. Can't wait to go back and try other items.”

“Fresh food great team!!!!”

“The best Hamburgers and Vanilla Bacon Milkshake I ever had!! The friendliest people you will ever meet! We drove all the way from Medford Oregon just to have a burger!!! We will definitely return!!! Must try!!!”

“Non “Americanized” authentic Mexican food that is incredible! Highly recommend. Every bite reminded us of being in Mexico- kids loved it too. Family owned and you can tell the food is made fresh with love.”

“So much more than a bagel shop! Delicious!! 🤤🥯”

“Yummy Food , Best Food In Town & The Owners Are Super Nice 😊”

“Wonderful place to grab a cup of homegrown cider to sip or take home. Clendenen's also sells it frozen for road warriors. The stand also has fresh produce and locally made food products. Great service, too. Card accepted. A must visit when traveling Highway 101.”

“The BEST enchiladas in town! Lengua tacos are yummy too :) Love everything I have tried so far. Food is ALWAYS fresh and service is great!”

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooood”

“I have been going to Cocina Mariposa regularly since moving to Humboldt in January 2019. I have tried a fairly large portion of the menu at this point. Every single thing I have ordered has invariably been fresh and absolutely delicious.

For me, particular highlights are the chili relleno plate, the tacos (with habanero salsa if you like spicy), and the California burrito. If you're into Mexican breakfast, their breakfast tortas and chilaquiles are excellent. But really, order anything that sounds good, it'll probably be great!

Their agua frescas are also to die for. They are made with real juice and are unlike most of the agua frescas you'll have had in your life.

They are also VERY knowledgeable about vegetarian and vegan cuisine, and are willing to alter menu items to fit these diets within reason.

This review is long overdue, but I recommend Cocina Mariposa to the highest degree. It really is a gem in a restaurant landscape that is otherwise dubious.”
