I've been up in Tacoma for the last 6 years and brewers has always been a go to spot! Super fun environment whether you're watching a game inside or sitting outside at the bar. Highly recommend getting: chorizo breakfast burrito, carne asada quesadilla, and the gallinero nachos! They also offer to-go margs in mason jars and it's SO CUTE. ALSO you always always have to get the avocado crema on the side, it's so good you could drink it. read more

Yet another up-scale taco bar. My buddy and I are on a weekly quest for the perfect taco in a sit-down restaurant and we're yet to come close. The ambience, service and appearance of the food are very VERY good but the tacos were lacking in flavor and were very dry. The nachos were pretty good but expensive at $16. As I wrote in my review of another such place, if you prefer your Mexican food not too mexicanny this may be the place for you. We have a few other such places to try out then we'll start in on the taco trucks. read more

Brewers Row - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Brewers Row exemplifies something I love about Tacoma: It's full of little places that exude passion and love for the craft. Stepping into this unassuming bar, one meets a lively, enthusiastic wait staff, a large but accessible menu, plenty of beer, and tasteful decorations. You have to order at the back of the restaurant, but walking through you'll hear the staff joking with guests as they buzz around attending to every need. It feels extremely welcoming. When we approached the counter, the cashier was discussing Spanish linguistics with a more fluent colleague. We'd order a few items, and then there'd be another spat of banter, then they'd apologize and continue taking our order before getting interrupted again. It was delightful; they were animated, entertaining, and while they were debating, the bartender was showing off just how deep their pours are. The food is pretty straightforward Mexican fare. My $9.50 carne asada burrito was only about 5-6" long and needed more seasoning - even the chipotle salsa didn't do much for the flavor. The pollo frito featured sumptuous dark meat and crispy skin, and the tortilla soup was very comforting. The food felt a bit pricey, especially with a taco truck available at the gas station across the street. (We didn't get to try the nachos but my god, they look amazing.) My wife said her margarita was one of the best she's ever had. They forgot my beer but promptly brought it out when I reminded them, and then returned after the meal with a complimentary order of churros to apologize. Not having my beer before the food was the smallest of inconveniences, but going above and beyond to make it up to us shows commitment to customer service and the guest experience. Being in Brewers Row is a delight. You're made to feel right at home in this little tavern. Maybe I just didn't pick the right entree, so I'll have to go back to find out. read more

I mean. All of the review pics are of bitten burritos and it's because we don't know what to expect with the first bite. And when the first bite was made, it was like heaven and my idea of breakfast has changed.. This cute guy took me here after we got coffee, and I decided to order the chorizo breakfast burrito and I have 0 regrets. Shoutout to this amazing place & credit to the cute guy (; now you guys will get more business!! Apologies for the personalization, I thought it would add a little bit of spice but if you are reading this, please go here. read more

Brewers Row - Chorizo Burrito - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Very good breakfast burritos. Their food is fresh and tasty. There's a wide variety of options. There seems to be a lot of other good foods and drinks too, so I look forward to trying something else (maybe). I wish I could give 4 stars. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why they would subject customers picking up to go orders to have to stand in the same line others have to wait in to place orders. It can get pretty busy at times - you may have to budget at least 5-20 mins longer for pickup since you cannot just pick up an order that's sitting there waiting. I find it super odd that the staff isn't trained to separate the two lines and it really does make ordering from there much less appealing - especially on a busy Saturday or Sunday morning... read more

An amazing dinner! Try their tamales..the al pastor Torta. We shared amazing nachos too. Great salsas and sauces. Great prices too. I know I am going to order more tamales soon YUM read more

Chedjala Biscuits!!!! Chill atmosphere! Great people!! Bottom line for me is that I don't go here enough.

Always slaps esp the vegetarian/ vegan options. The yaka ensalada changed my life and I cannot thank this place enough. Chia is pretty good but esp with their non dairy options :*. Their margaritas are really really good too! read more

Perfect breakfast or lunch spot. Fast and friendly. Nice interior. Great menu with a newer modern twist on Mexican fare. Definitely going to make this a go to spot. Got a breakfast burrito for both of us. It was delicious. read more

Amazing Mexican food for an establishment, on first appearance, is a typical American brewery. The quesadilla is especially worth trying out. And the chips and dip appetizers has some really thick delicious chips. read more

We were planning on grabbing a drink at Cook's Tavern but didn't realize they did not open until 4pm....little did we know they also own this spot! Such a cool bar/restaurant! Lots of beer to choose from but if that's not your thing you can get a Bloody Mary, Margarita, or head over to the cooler to grab yourself a cosmopolitan or Knob Creek old fashioned! Can't wait to try the food...tamales, breakfast burritos, nachos, chilaquiles...looked so yummy but we had just eaten elsewhere. We'll be back read more

Can't believe i haven't reviewed Brewers row as I probably eat here at least once a week. I love this place, its small, casual, quick, and delicious. Everything on the menu is BOMB - don't forget to get the avocado crema & carrot habanero sauces (my personal fav's). Normally I get an al pastor quesedilla. Swear, I could eat this every single day. Also love their Del fuego nachos, tortilla soup, any salad. Like I said, everything on the menu is great, They're open early too, serve breakfast ALL DAY & have great beer and wine options. read more

One of our best local Tacoma spots. Wonderful sw/Mexican food and beer plus coffee drinks. I think they messed up the branding a bit as "Brewers Row" may be a nice pun as they serve great beer AND coffee. BUT it says nothing about amazing Mexican food. Originally I thought it was only a beer place. read more

It was pretty tasty, I had the carne asada burrito. Relatively well priced and a nice atmosphere on a sunny Wednesday afternoon.

One of my favorite restaurants in Tacoma! I have been coming here for years and love how they have not only staple dishes but seasonal ones as well to mix things up. I love their tacos, especially the sweet potato kale option. They also have amazing breakfast options such as their biscuit egg sandwiches. These pair well with their homemade sauces- my favorite being the habanero carrot. Overall, the atmosphere is friendly and I love coming by here with family and friends. You can always count on getting a delicious meal paired with their wide selection of drinks. read more

Love this place. Visited 10+ time with my dog as we can sit on the patio. Only spot in the Proctor district area I've found that is dog friendly on the patio ~ and even better, the people working here have always been friendly and without asking offer to unlock the stools on the patio regardless of the weather. I really appreciate the quality food but even more the spirit of service to the customer. My dog and I will keep coming back. read more

Ordered the Gallinero (chicken) nachos. Chips were way overly salty, chicken tasted like it was from a can, and I was charged for extra jalapeños, but received the world's tiniest smattering of diced jalapeños. When I asked for more, I was met with incredulity and disbelief; last I checked, when you pay for "extra" of something, it ought to be visible on the plate. Do you see jalapeños in the pic? Also, $15+ is way to steep for nachos. read more

Authentic They have a logo " they put the Taco in Tacoma". Agreed. I decided a try a few dishes, and was curious about the Tamales. Only roasted veggie was available. Incredible taste and texture. I could see the roasted corn but no other bits to I'd other veggies. If available ki e, I will gladly buy in bulk around xmas. This eatery is clearly loved by neighbors. They are known for top breakfast burrito and remarkable breakfasts over all. Wine and beer, and home made margaritas. The Row has the indoor/outdoor vibe with windows open if weather allows. read more

This place puts the "taco" in Tacoma, literally! If you want tacos, beer, or even coffee then this is the place to be at! I came here to eat an early lunch and decided to order an iced horchata latte along with their Del Fuego Nachos. These nachos are so bomb by the way, a must order for me! Better than your average nachos for sure and if you don't believe me, then check it out yourself but bring a friend because the portions are huge. Leftovers are never a bad thing though, I'll end up hungry again sooner or later. They're basically chili powdered chips with al pastor pork, chipotle salsa, house pickled chiles en escabeche, tapatio aioli, and cilantro. I'm a lover of spicy food so if you aren't, I suggest ordering something else. After eating, I got a box for the rest of my food and bought a growler for some beer to go. Note: you need to buy the jug separately ($6) and you just pay for them to fill it so don't forget to bring it with you next time you come back! They come in 32oz and 64oz sizes. I only did not give this place the full 5 stars because the horchata latte didn't taste like horchata to me and they didn't have a TV anymore (there was one last time playing sports). But the food and drinks are amazing here! read more

If I ever had to claim a place as "my spot" I would do Brewers. You can't go wrong! Want breakfast? The cheddar jalapeno biscuit with bacon is life changing! Want lunch? Share the gallineros nachos or get the taco salad! Dinner? My husband always gets the carnitas burrito but I love their sweet potato mix. Their churros are always fresh made. The beer is cold. The service is friendly. the place is small so not great for your group of 10 (though they do have a big table) but we haven't struck out on finding a place to sit yet. read more

I was lucky enough to try chilaquiles for the first time here and I am so glad I did. I tried them with chorizo and i can't stop thinking about this amazing dish. The service was friendly and the ambience was nice. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great fast service & wonderful outdoor seating. The chips and guac were delicious - you could definitely tell the chips are made in house. We can't wait to come back for happy hour!! read more

Came back for seconds looking to be wowed and and oh wow, I was barely wowed. This place is solid like Dwayne "the you know who, lord voldy " Johnston. Got the breaky burrito both times and service was great and the 'rito was delish. Recommend PJ, muah read more

In the heart of the N. End, I drive by this location often and never knew it sat next to Cook's Tavern until a friend invited here. The vibe is light and chill with indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and clean off your own plates and table when you're done. They serve Mexican food and beer with a couple Bloody Mary options. Customer service is good. The bar stools aren't too comfortable and parking can be tricky. Family and pet friendly. read more

Too expensive! This is a $17.54 burrito? Really? I ordered one carnitas burrito with guacamole and sour cream and this is what I got. Skimpy on the carnitas, skimpy on the cheese, and where's the damn sour cream. And no chips? Really? They need to up their game. For this price, you should have a mouth orgasm. I barely got a tongue erection. Nice beers though, if you like paying $9 for a pint of Weihenstephaner. read more

Food was pretty good, I'm not a big beer drinker and this place has a lot of beer. I would definitely go back though for the food and it's just a cool place to hangout read more

Good food, price, service & atmosphere makes it a local favorite. Always Keep the chicken tortilla soup hot & spicy. Sliced limes & crunchy tortilla strips helps make it amazing. read more

If you are looking for some dang good breakfast burritos, this is the place. My husband and I come here solely for their burritos. You can choose from a variety of meat and they have really great salsa. The place is small...ish, but lots of seating. I love the vibe; very welcoming. There is also outdoor seating. I'm saving my 5th star for when we come back during the evening for food and drinks. We heard the nachos are suppose to be delicious. This place also has a decent amount of beers on tap (20?) and canned. The service has always been friendly and fast, but we've only been here during the morning (between 7am-9am) on the weekends. Be back soon, Brewers Row! read more

Brewers Row - El Pastor Breakfast Burrito - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to Brewers. My love and I order take out breakfast here almost every Sunday. Our favorite thing to do is pick up Breakfast burritos and then go to Point Defiance for a walk/picnic. Online ordering system is beyond simple and they really allow you to customize your order with more add-on options. Food is always ready when we pick up and service is always welcoming. We have tried the Asada Breakfast burrito (BB), Bacon BB, and Carnitas BB. Loved each one individually especially the carnitas is nice and flavorful. The potatoes in the burrito are YUM also with nice and fluffy scrambled egg. Tie everything together with the Avocado Crema and Habanero sauce (AN ABSOLUTE MUST) I also add Bacon each time to my burrito (extra charge), it really elevates it and you cant go wrong with a lil extra bacon 10/10 would recommend. If you don't have the appetite for a huge ol burrito, Brewers also has breakfast taquitos that are just as yummy and perfect size for a quick breakfast. On another note, THE CHURROS. They have them down to a science. Freshly made to order each time. Hot and crunchy on the outside, and so perfectly soft and chewy in the inside. I no longer crave Disneyland Churros because Brewers now stands as best churro I have ever had. Worth getting half a dozen each time. read more

Update: If there were more stars, Brewers would get all of 'em. I order from them around once a week, and it's consistently delicious. Their tortilla chips are the best. I love the kale and sweet potato burrito, the boyfriend loves the jackfruit, and my son loves the bacon breakfast burrito. Tonight we ordered and picked it up, and got home to realize our large chips and guac had no guac! I debated calling because we've never had an issue before, so when I called I let them know this is the first time anything has gone sideways. The gal asked if she could put me on hold for a minute, and then a manager got on and apologized, and said he was getting in his car to - seriously - deliver our guacamole. To my house. In the wind and rain on a Friday night. He showed up 10 min later with guac PLUS more chips and some cookies. Seriously. Best customer service I've ever seen. Makes me extra happy since I love their food! The food is so, so good. This is my second time here, and the carne asada tacos are amaaaazing. Chicken burrito was fantastic. Tortilla soup was perfect! All that and they have a vast beer selection! Really delicious!!! Thrilled to have this in the 'hood!!! read more

This place never misses. The food is always great. Service is fast and the prices are fair especially for the location and ambiance.

This place is, arguably, the best Mexican food in Tacoma right now. I am obsessed with the nachos here. The vegetarian options are both amazing- these are not half-hearted 'obligatory vegetarian section' consolation offerings. As a warning, the nachos are huge and tend to be heavy on cheese from what I've experienced. But for $11.50 for a literal tray full, I'm not complaining. I also had one of the seasonal offerings last time- artichoke heart tacos. Also fantastic. The rice is flavorful and beans are whole bean and seasoned with just enough cotija on top to add cheese flavor without drowning out the beans. $11 for 3 tacos with rice and beans, it's a great buy. So far everything I and the boyfriend have tried has been excellent. HIghly recommended! read more

Such a delicious little place in a cozy neighborhood spot! With the restaurant name, I expected pub fare & was pleasantly surprised to find great New Mexican food. Top notch breakfast burritos, tacos, tortilla soup, burritos, churros, and unexpected drinks like a horchata latte. Usually pretty quick service, but this can range a bit. I take all out of town visitors here and have only heard positive things! read more

Greetings Fellow Food Travelers! #1: Please stay away as I want to keep this place a secret known only to locals! Great Beer selection but that is secondary to superb food hands down the best in Tacoma! Start at the beginning of the menu and work your way through every option! The Blackened Rockfish is the best I've eaten! And that includes those that I caught spear fishing off the coast line in Guam! Taco Platter with beans n rice delicious and the Burritos can be shared! Add the chips and you are set! Eat in or Take-out you can't go wrong! High Five! read more

Not only do they have delicious tacos, but I appreciate the staff that look out for gluten intolerant and celiac folks. It's much appreciated. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I didn't order anything that would upset my stomach. Thank you! Worth a visit if you're a gluten free girl like me or not. Food is great! read more

Brewers Row - Taco Plate with a House Margarita - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The atmosphere here is fresh and interesting. The food is mouth-watering and delicious. They have tons of options for food and drink and yummy churros! I always look forward to going here. read more

A girlfriend heard about his place via one her clients. Despite being open since, I believe, January 2017, I had never heard about it. I'm thankful that the recommendation was made, however, because it is an awesome joint. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. It's gotta bit of a hipster vibe to it. Kids are welcome so it's family friendly. There's also a projector screen on the wall so it's an option for Seahawks games! Let's start with the essentials: the chips and salsa. They aren't free but they are fantastic. You can order a small or large. A small is plenty for two people. The chips are light and crispy and not at all greasy. They have just the right amount of salt too! The salsa the chips come with is more of a pico de gallo. It's fresh and yummy but I, personally, craved a traditional salsa. Luckily they have quite the assortment of *housemade* salsas -- avocado cream, salsa verde, chipotle tomato, and roasted habeñero. I can only speak to the chipotle tomato and roasted habeñero The chipotle is great and a good go-to for the majority of peeps, but the roasted haberñero, albeit understandably spicy, has unique sweetness to it that I loved. As for more hearty food options -- my friend had the del fuego nachos and I had the autumn vegetable tostadas (a seasonal dish). My friend *loved* the nachos, saying they were the perfect amount of spice and she particularly enjoyed the Tapatio aioli. The tostadas were equally good and really filling. Drink wise, it's just beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, but the selection is vast. There are 24 beers on tap, all from local brewers. There are enough wine options to satisfy nearly anyone (unless you're truly a wine snob). If you can't find anything on tap, there is a cooler of additional canned beer and some bottled wine. JFYI -- you can purchase beer and wine from the cooler to go! All in all -- this place gets a solid 5 stars. Service is friendly, food is relatively fast, and other patrons are noticeably friendly. The kitchen is open concept to the dining area so you can watch the cooks at work, which is always fun. Just visit Brewers Row and thank me later! Xx read more

Fun place--great beer program, really good food. Prices are okay, but this is not the place to come for unbelievable value. It's more on the get-what-you-pay-for end of the spectrum. They have a nice open space with some pubby bistro seating on the sidewalk. They have huge gatefold windows they open during nice weather. You order at the counter and the staff expedites your food when it's ready. They even have a drinks-only line to keep it moving. They pour a couple dozen beers, mostly local (even hyper-local T-Town breweries). There's cider and wine as well. They pick good kegs, and don't fill the whole list with big names; they clearly pick beers they like and want people to try, not just stuff that sells itself with no sampling or describing required. They keep the lines clean and pour a good pint, but no fancy glassware, just shaker pints. Prices are okay, not great; $6.50 and up after tax. The food is REALLY good. Four of us had pork belly tacos (great), burritos (equally good), nachos (fantastic--seriously), brussels sprouts with crispy pork belly (also fantastic) and side salsas. The salsas had tons of heat and flavor. Tons of food on the table, two beers each, came to about $150-160 for four. Perfectly reasonable but there are definitely less expensive places in town. I will definitely be back for more of the food and beer. read more

I visit this place probably 3-4 x a month. Definitely better than the big brands. You will not be disappointed by whatever you try.
