Tuyas

We dined here in the middle of a long trip from Tucson to Northern California, and this was the best experience we had in the 12 day trip including the Bay Area, Sacramento, and San Diego. I came here because the Yelp reviews were so good and boy, they were right! This really may well be the best Mexican food we've had anywhere! First of all, the ambiance is charming, I loved the art work and the overall feel and vibe of this little restaurant. Secondly, the food was just fantastic! Thirdly, they have MANY gluten-free options. And finally, the service was just wonderful. And the manager came over to chat with us as well (I like that, and she really appreciated our business). The margaritas were great. We started with the Las Tazas (chicken mole filled lettuce cups), not just a great gluten-free option but a delicious appetizer, period. I'm not even normally a fan of mole but Tuyas' was delicious. My wife absolutely LOVED the street tacos, and I had the Tuyas Enchlada platter, and it blew me away. I don't know what it was. Every single element was delicious. I actually enjoyed the taste of the tortilla, let alone the awesome tomatillo sauce, the moist, flavorful chicken, and even the sides (both rice and beans) were outstanding! It's not that often that every single element of a dish shines but that was certainly the case with these enchiladas. I would say if you are even remotely near Humboldt County, make it a point to eat here, you won't regret it!

Delicious food. Excellent gluten-free & vegan options. The staff was great!
