My new favorite shrimp tacos! Wow I was amazed at how delicious these tacos were, even had avocado. The staff are soooo nice and cheerful. Parking can be a bit tight and table is usually in the shade. Nice to have Riptide coffee next door for a lunchtime pick me up. I’ve had shrimp tacos and carnitas. The carnitas are some of the best around. THEY ARE CRISPY!! Gluten free Dairy free Nut free Soy free Sugar free!!! Now it’s all cooked in the same place so keep that in mind but I had a celiac friend say they can actually eat here without reacting and I don’t have bad reactions with my restrictions either. Amazing. Keep it up ladies!!

Amazing burritos, freshly made tortillas and an amazing sauce too. I would call 15 minutes ahead they get busy because the food is so good. I would say it is the best burrito in Arcata or Eureka.

Wow! Homemade tortillas made each item I got a mouth-watering experience. Their mild and hot sauces are spot on. This is my new must-have food truck for Mexican food. I look forward to Friday's special. Their Casa Birria tacos are by far the best!

This is the best taco truck in Humboldt, hands down. When I lived in Giuntoli I was there multiple times a week and now I stop whenever I'm close and they're open. My favorite is the carnitas! They're fast but I call ahead anyway if it's around noon because they're very popular.

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
