Food Stands in Ukiah, CA

“Name changed from “Jonny’s” to El Baho Fino”. Also some of the attached photos form previous reviews is from a place across the street from this restaurant (showing a redwood tree and building)

I stopped by this taco shop and ordered four tacos—two asada and two al pastor. The asada tacos were solid, with flavorful meat topped with fresh onions, cilantro, and green salsa. They had a nice char, though they were a bit oily. Still, I enjoyed them overall.

The al pastor tacos were disappointing—the meat was dry, bland, and notably missing pineapple, which is usually a key ingredient in traditional al pastor. Like the asada, they were topped with onion, cilantro, and salsa, but just didn’t hit the mark flavor-wise.

The tortillas had a decent chew, but didn’t seem homemade—they were very uniform, which made them feel store-bought. The plate came with grilled onions, radish slices, and limes, which were a nice touch. I wished I could have gotten a grilled jalapeño—I saw them in other reviews and was hoping it came standard, but no luck this time.

Pricing was a bit steep at $16 for four tacos, with no sides or drinks included. Definitely more in line with L.A. taco stand pricing, which feels high for what was offered. That said, they do have Taco Wednesdays for $2/taco, which seems like a much better value and may be the best day to go.

The guy wearing a blue car wash polo who took my order and made the food was incredibly kind and welcoming. He was fast, attentive, and seemed to take pride in his work, which made the experience more enjoyable.

Seating is limited to three small outdoor tables near the ordering window, shaded by a tree. It’s a casual setup, but it can get a bit loud due to nearby street traffic.

Overall, a mixed experience: friendly service and decent asada, but the al pastor and pricing didn’t live up to expectations. I might return on a Wednesday to give it another shot—hopefully with a grilled jalapeño next time.“
