Let’s talk Mexican food. Northern California is a big fan. We hate to brag but we’re gonna. There’s very few parts of the U.S. that have the kind of authentic fresh Mex like we do. Maybe it’s the whole-food influence or the fact that Mexico is so close to our part of the country, we really don’t know why and we really don’t care. All we know is our Mexican food will blow your mind and here are a few of our favorites to prove it.
If you're anywhere near the Redwoods this summer, make sure to stop here. As you can see the burritos are twice the size of your hand! Plus, the food is incredible. In a hurry? Grab your order to go and eat while sitting in The Avenue of the Giants. Nothing better.

Taco Loco translated is "A Crazy Taco." So how can you go wrong here? We're not even sure what all is in this Fiesta Burrito but want to put it in our belly right now.
This little restaurant is quite a big deal around here. They serve salsas that are different from your normal average salsa; you'll have to stop by and see what we mean. Plus, their mojitos are to die for - and who doesn't love fresh black beans and lime cilantro rice?
Full disclosure here - I LOVE this place. It's one that I can personally say is extremely YUMMY. It has always been a favorite of mine and my hubby. Fresh salsa and always great customer service. I mean, cmon'! Check out that carne asada burrito with beans and rice!
