Pollo a la parrilla
Mike S.

Great service and great food. I had the Pollo a la parilla for dinner. Great presentation and delicious flavors. The grilled chicken over sautéed onions and bell peppers was cooked perfectly and marinated so it was not dry. The pinto beans were just right, not overcooked or undercooked. Moist Mexican rice with sides of tasty guacamole and pico de Gallo. I'm from Whitby Island and just by chance my wife and I had dinner there tonight because when we drove by, there were tons of cars in the parking lot. It proved to be a great find and we look forward to our next trip over to Tacoma and to Anto

Antonia Mexican Grill was alright. The food wasn't bad, but it was pretty mediocre overall. The service was quick and the staff was nice, which I appreciated. The restaurant was mostly clean, although I did notice a fly. Overall, it was an okay experience

Chile verde burrito
Bernard U.

Just popped in at happy hour for drinks and snacks.Plenty available.Servers were friendly and diligent.Even with a full bar the place wasn't noisy.Several TV's catered to soccer and baseball fans.Reasonable prices make this venue worth a return trip.

Birraria Quesadilla

I'm always searching for good Mole and Antojos has it. In fact, everything I've tried here is very good so I'm a little surprised by the 3.5 star rating. The staff is very helpful and friendly and has great suggestions about what to order too. The restaurant is comfortable and the Happy Hour is decent too. I'm going to post pictures of my Chicken Mole because I think it's some of the best I've ever had. The spice level is subtle and not overpowering. I like it since I could taste their Mole and enjoy it instead of it being too hot and just tasting the heat. I will be returning again for some of the other items on their menu that loook good including the Carne Asado. We had a nice time here and what I tried of the food has been excellent both times I visited. I'm definately going back for more.

We are in town on vacation. We ate here for lunch with our friends today. The food here was amazing! Everything was fresh. We had great service. We had the 8.99 specials! Can't beat that deal.

LOVE this place. They were closed for some time and now they are open. The wait staff are attentive and this is one of the only restaurants that serve chips and salsa AND Bean Dip (which is soooooooo good!!!) for FREE! You can't even go wrong here when they do this already. The food is so fresh and delicious from their tortillas made on the spot, to everything else including drinks. I have come back and back again. Countless of times because the food, ambiance and service is exceptional. I also found out that the owners also help great organizations and nonprofits. I highly recommend this place!

Great food, service was wonderful and gave my wife extra of the pickled carrots that she loves. The beans were full of flavor, and chimichanga was perfect. Atmosphere was pleasant and had a southwestern vibe, with a modern twist. Prices were so reasonable. They have daily specials which can make it even cheaper.

Very berry Margarita
Angi C.

Pleasantly surprised with Antojo's! I drive by frequently and have never stopped in until a friend asked to meet for dinner. Atmosphere is fantastic- tons of seating, great decor. Parking is not great, limited spots. It was packed on a Monday evening. Service was attentive. Antojo's serves chips, salsa and bean dip at no cost! I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas - very yummy- not the best I've had- but yummy! I had the very berry margarita- also great! Overall great experience.

Here is our updated review: We used to love this place--especially for their enchiladas and moles. It was our go-to spot for family dinners on 38th St. I want to start by giving credit to the general manager. He was professional and calm when I initially spoke with him about a recent incident, and I appreciated how he handled that first conversation. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was deeply disappointing and even harmful. We had ordered two burritos for lunch while working at a client's house on N Jackson Ave. As my father was finishing his burrito, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mouth--like he had bitten into a rock. It turned out he had bitten into something hard that should have been filtered out before cooking. After speaking with the GM and his follow-up with the kitchen team, the conclusion was that it came from a bean stalk--something that ended up in my dad's food. As a result, my father--who's nearing his 50s--lost a tooth. Days passed, and we hadn't heard any follow-up from the GM. However, once we posted a Yelp review, the general manager reached out to us immediately. While we appreciated the response after the review, it's unfortunate that it took public feedback to prompt any real follow-up. We used to recommend this place to friends and family, but after this experience, we're seriously reconsidering that.... As of today's date 6/12/25 Today, the owner or franchise has refused to cover the dental bill for my hard-working father--which was all we asked for. This situation has caused not only physical pain but financial stress as well. We are now left with no choice but to seek legal counsel moving forward.

Been here many times and the service, drinks, food is always so great. Sopes and gorditas are my favs!

Food was a great with a wide range of everything. Service was okay but it took them a long minute for them to bring waters. Had tv's everywhere playing a lot of things so it never got boring in there. Definently should go if looking for Mexican food around the area.

Sad over-fried gross tasting piece of fish from the fish taco
Val B.

Went there with my partner before dinner rush and decided to sit in the restaurant section where there were 3 tables occupied with the ppl already eating. Got to our booth, put in drink orders. 4 ppl came in after us and were seated behind us. They got their drinks first. Weird cause we only ordered soda drinks and they had cocktails and shots. Whatever. Got our chips and salsa, which was great cause once our food order was in, it took almost 40 min to get our 3 fish tacos and burrito plate. But guess what? The ppl behind us got all their food within a regular/expected amount of time. Our drinks were gone by the time the food came and we couldn't get the chance to order a drink refill because the server rushed away once he set the plates in front of us. I have worked in hospitality and I know things can get fked behind the scenes. However, by having your customers wait without an explanation makes you look sloppy and rude. Our server was mostly non-existent and just a "hey my apologies, we're [insert excuse] so service may be a bit tardy" would be fine. So that's the service. Now the food. No. My partner had a burrito plate that was bland and sad looking and I had the 3 fish tacos which were unseasoned and really just an over-fried fish finger in a sad corn tortilla with some bland sauce on top sprinkled with some cabbage and tomatoes. The fish tasted gross and way too fishy so it prob pass expiration date. I mean, look at the picture! It was so sad looking I couldn't stop laughing. If you have never had Mexican food, sure go here. Only because any other Mexican restaurant afterwards will be mind blowing. Or if you can't handle any spice other than some salt, this place will be great for you. But really don't. It's a waste of time and money.

Queso dip is bomb!!!

Doing an update after not being in Moctezuma's for a long time…read more Someone gave me the impression that the food wasn't as good as it used to be and one of the last times I was here the wait to get seated was quite long. It's good that they are doing so well however. The parking lot always looks full. My last visit here was after a planned meal stop somewhere else fell through. I still wanted supper and I was in the vicinity and decided if I could get into Moctezuma's. I got in with ease (there was just me) and seated right away. I haven't had a taco salad in I don't know how long so I ordered one of those. I also got a small sized Spicy Cucumber Margarita. The taco salad was good, very satisfying as well as the chips and salsa that came along with it. The Margarita was great, very refreshing with the cucumber and spiciness blending together nicely. Service was prompt and friendly. I still have a good impression with what I had for this place from meals of several years ago and if you do precise timing (like early supper arrival time (4:30-5 p.m.) or lunch you are more than likely to find seating easier.

The chips and salsa are amazing, and their house sauce is just perfect. Everything is full of flavor, and I always leave wanting to come back for more. If you're in Tacoma, you have to try Cactus! Definitely one of my favorite spots!

Our waiter, Mark, was incredibly attentive -- checking in regularly, keeping drinks topped off, and making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Exactly the kind of hospitality that makes a meal memorable. We started with the Guacamole Sampler -- Traditional, Carlito's Way, and Austin Style -- served with warm housemade chips and their signature salsa. Every style had its own personality, and the flavors were spot‑on across the board. A fantastic way to kick off the meal. For my entrée, I went with the Seasonal Al Pastor Tamales, and wow... this dish is a true taste of the south. The ancho, guajillo, and achiote citrus slow‑roasted pork was rich and tender, perfectly balanced by cumin black beans, pickled pineapple, white onion, and serrano salsa. Every bite had depth, heat, and brightness. My wife ordered the Smoked Chicken Tomatillo Soup -- hominy, red bell peppers, carrots, onions, chipotle, buttermilk crema, cilantro, and blue corn tortilla strips. Served with fresh housemade sopes, it was comforting, flavorful, and beautifully layered. A perfect bowl for any season. We also shared the Navajo Fry Bread -- honestly, this should be listed under desserts. Warm, soft, slightly sweet, and absolutely delicious. The overall vibe was relaxed and inviting. It can get a bit noisy -- especially for someone like me who's hard of hearing -- but the energy is still warm and enjoyable. Cactus never disappoints. From the kitchen to the front‑of‑house, the team consistently delivers great food, great service, and a great experience. Hats off to the cooks and staff for another fantastic visit. We'll definitely be back.
