Looking for authentic Mexican food? Cocina Mariposa opened up in the pro shop at the Eureka Golf Course a few years ago to the delight of locals. Chef/Owner Marisela Carillo along with her mom, Graciela Salas serves up Michoacán favorites using local and organic ingredients when possible. Choose from five homemade salsas. Yes, as the menu says, the Salsa Macha packs a punch but is full of flavor. A housemade Horchata will take care of the heat. Traditional menu items include wet burritos, chili rellenos, street tacos with your choice of meat, tortas, vegan and vegetarian items or any of the daily specials highlighted on their social media. We recommend the Baja Fish Tacos. (There’s a “Not So Mexican” menu featuring Mary’s Organic chicken, too.) Dining space inside is limited, but there are outdoor tables and they do a big “to-go” business so call them to place your order.
