FYABES, a newer Forks restaurant in a cute little chartreuse food truck, is located at the north end of Forks WA, across the street from Sully's and next door to Far West Motel. You can't miss the bright green of the stationary truck. Six members of the family run the business, and their first name initials were combined into the name of the business: FYABES.
The food rates a whole bunch of stars. On the menu are: street tacos, burritos, tamales, tortas (in bolillo bread), quesadillas with and without 'carne,' Mexican sodas, and more. This is authentic Mexican cuisine, some of the best I've ever tasted. We'll be back as soon as possible.

Yes, it is a kiosk. Yes, it has two windows, one for northbound and one for southbound.

Cristy, from Port Orchard, WA, says:
"I wanted you to know that I appreciate your book so much! I have a few books about hikes in the area but your book is unique. I love how you include maps, online resources, restaurants, places to stay, and on and on.
"Plus, your writing is professional yet personal. Our neighbors just moved to Washington and have been trying to explore the local area. I recommended this book to them. They bought it on the spot!
"Thank you for the time and effort you put into making a much needed book. I have lived here most of my life; with your book, I feel like I'm discovering where we live through a new lens. It's simply wonderful" (Cristy, WA).
