Food scene
is our go-to for lunch, really good tacos and burritos. One thing you don’t see too often on a taqueria menu is the Mexican Hotdog. It’s a hotdog with the regular condiments but add mayo and salsa - it’s good!

The nearest big grocery store, best to grab stuff like firewood, and other provisions before you get to our place. This is your last chance and it's a great look into Guerneville's weird and wonderful inhabitants.
