This authentic Mexican restaurant is veery small and in between buildings fairly close to the kent station so it is hard to find it if your not familiar with the area and it's surroundings. I stop here whenever I get the chance when I crave Mexican meals. They're tacos and burritos are very delicious. They fill those bad boys up so its worth every penny. Definitely give this place a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

Burritos El Incapaz - My #FAVE authentic Mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Washington

I didn't have any problems with the staff or the restaurant itself, though the weird lighting is kinda hard on my eyes. The burrito I ordered was super dry. Just everything in it was dry. The cheese was still in shredded form, not melted at all, and the burrito also wasn't warm at all, it was kind of strange. Even the guacamole and the sour cream on it seemed like it was straight out of the fridge in its stiff form. The salsa is also really runny. Not many chunks of anything in it so you cant really get anything on a chip other than wetness. Eh, I wouldn't try it again, sorry. read more

Burritos El Incapaz - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Washington

These burritos are the best!! I miss working in the area because I haven't had the opportunity to have them in ages!

Walked in here on a whim when retro emporium was still closed and boy was it worth it. Coming in with a set standard and having it be blown off its ass with quality and value is insane. I had the carne asada plate lunch special and she had the huevos Mexicanos lunch special as well. Most places cheap out and half or less their lunch portions but no they stacked that shit to borderline overflowing which was a happy sight to see. Everything from the rice and the refried beans were perfectly seasoned and made unique from our usual tj and Jalisco style fare down in SoCal. Also most places we go to don't offer refills on anything outside of water and the fountain and having what tastes fresh made agua frescas fall under that as well hit different. Honestly would hit this place up again once we move back and some of the best value in the Seattle area hands down! read more

Horrible. The restaurant is dirty. Dirty as in dirty walls, floor, etcThe server was rude, and I mean rude. I'm pretty tolerant and understanding, but she was consistently rude no matter how much I tried to be polite. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and got rice and cheese. My daughter got the fried fish and had stomachaches with diarrhea all night into the next day. The salsa tasted like watered down tomato sauce with large pieces of white onion and the tortilla chips tasted like old corn tortillas, fried in old grease. read more

This food is delicious. My go to lunch during the work week. The service is quick and professional. Strongly recommend it!

Came here because of the reviews and heard about how good this place is.. but there was flies all over the restaurant and landed on our food. We told our waiter, and she said "I don't think so". She didn't believe us until I showed her this video. Customers are always right. read more

One of the best tasting burrito that I had. The chicken and filling had so much flavor, unlike a lot of places which are tasteless with standard shredded chicken. Stopped by this gem on our way to Tacoma history museum. Chips were alright, not exactly warm and great. But I'm not going to deduct a point for chips! The main course was super super filling, great portions, so who cares about the quality of the chips. It negates the chips completely! Stop by this gem if you're ever going south to Tacoma, Olympia or Portland for a great Mexican lunch or dinner. read more

Been here twice, this food is amazing and I will go above and beyond and say best tacos in Washington!

Tried this place today and was seriously disappointed. I ordered take out because the reviews online. Had the lunch special, 2 tacos plus rice and beans, 1 mulita and the taquitos plate. The meat all tasted burnt and old, definitely not fresh and super greasy. The best thing on the order was the avocado slices. Sad. read more

Don't let it appearance fool you. Its a lithe rough on the inside and out. Best burritos in Kent. Fresh chips and salsa

This is the third restaurant in this location since we moved to Kent in mid-2007. The previous two were Soprano's (Greek/Italian) and Bev's Cucina (Italian). This is Mexican food, and seems less Americanized to me than other nearby restaurants, and more reminiscent of my time in Los Angeles. I had a burrito with Carne Asada. A good size, and tasty. My wife had pork carnitas, which were unusual in the pork seemed almost like cubes from a chop, instead of pulled pork. They had a birria (goat) special according to a sign in the window, which they do in the stew style. I didn't try it, but hope to soon. Tortilla chips and salsa were provided for free as an appetizer -- obviously fried on the spot, and very warm. All in all, a very solid contender. Price was $24.50 for the two of us with tax and tip, so $12.25/each. read more

Nice family owned restaurant... We had a coupon for bogo free. Got their beef nachos and chicken burrito which were both good... They use processed cheese on their nachos which I like but I know most people hate... My daughter had their cheese quesadilla and loved it! She hardly ever eats when we eat out... They have a little girl there who played with my daughter before our food came out so it was definitely a "homie" feel there... read more

Since moving to Kent there has been one thing I have noticed. That is the abundance of decent to great Mexican Restraunts. Sadly though Burritos el Incapaz is not one of them. How I heard about them was by a coupon on the back of a grocery receipt. That should have been a sign to stay away. But on those occassions I do find little hole in the walls that are great. As you enter the restraunt you see a small but cute set up. With a long communial table made up of several small round tables. As well as large flat screen tv. On this visit it was either slow or my friend and myself made the biggest mistake ever. Sadly it was the latter. The highlights will be presented first. The after dinner mint and the beverages. That is it. I wish I could find a highlight about our food. It is just not possible to. For our starter we got the nachos. Which at first glance looked amazing. A large plate filled with a heeping helping of nachos. But upon first bite. You realize that for one the cheese and nachos are all cold. Then when you dig alittle deeper the was a a vast amount of liquid from the pico and the salsa under everything. As per my usual I let a strike go by as the food was at least palatable. Then came the main course carne asade enchiladas. Yea well the enchiladas where covered in a blood red enchilada sauce. Which looked and tasted a lot like marinara sauce. Well they do serve pizza here as well. So maybe it was a mix up. It turned out it wasnt . Both my friend and myself couldn't come to eat the enchiladas. As he put it everything tastes like wax. The owner acted as if we where insulting to him by not eating his food. But that was not the case. It was genuinely bad and not worth the money spent. They just like the nachos where not hot and the cheeze was still solid and not melted inside. The carne asada again had no flavor was burnt and was cold. It was really just a awful expeirence. Would I go back? Would subjicate a enemy to this food? No that would be torture. Does 1 star equal what this place deserves? No that my friends is the greatest insult. I can not give them the zero they deserve. read more

Burritos El Incapaz - Huge burritos!mole enchiladas,huevos rancheros were delicious, &horchata is real homemade. Better than we expected! - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Washington

Found this little place in down town Kent with all the local construction and modernization happening it a is pleasure to find this mom and pops feeling restaurant. As per my standard food choice I went with a chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. The food is delicious, well seasoned and portion sizes fit the price. Lunch specials draw me in and the prompt service and great feel have me coming back. read more

Great food at very fair prices. Portion was perfect size to not make me lay on a couch incapacitated. The people were very pleasant. I had the steak taco salad and my wife the tacos. We will definitely be back! UPDATE: Had the Streak Burrito yesterday, best burrito I've ever had. read more

Slow service, due to not enough help. But the spice of the food more than makes up for it. And you can easily see into preparation of the food. Maybe not the best if in a rush but with a day to burn. The flavor and heat worth it. read more

Burritos El Incapaz - Front end - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Washington

Man. This was very good food. My wife and I were looking for a cafe to have lunch, and found our planned destination to be closed. So, we went to Burritos El Incapaz instead. I had two chicken tacos (con todo), with rice and beans. My wife had the torta with chicken. Sure, we didn't order the most complicated dishes... and didn't really have any expectations going in. But, we were really pleased. My wife said, "beans like my Mama makes them." And, of course, the salsa was home-made and superb. The freshly fried chips were super delicious. You also can't beat the price. We both had a _great_ lunch that left us satisfied for ~$13.00. I told the cook / waitress that the foot was wonderful and that we'd be back for a date night someday soon. This would definitely rank higher than what _used_ to be our favorite Mexican restaurant: Mi Charrito Taqueria (university district, Seattle, WA). I encourage anyone going here to tip generously. read more

I have been tired of chain Mexican food and have been trying more local places. I was very impressed with all aspects of my meal. The prices were very reasonable while the portion sizes did not reflect that. everything was hand made and you can really tell the difference. Both my wife and I could barely finish the normal sized burrito when we saw them come out with their seven pound "challenge" monster of a burrito. Along with that my son who is not really into the cuisine ordered some chicken nuggets, and they came out home made and as he put it "awesome, so good." All in all I was very impressed with the restaurant and will be coming back and bringing more friends.. read more

Great "hole-in-the-wall" Mexican restaurant. Had the street tacos, they were great and amazing portions! Will be back!

Pretty bad. Any mexican restaurant in Kent is better than this. I am pretty sure the beef was rotten. Canned cheese rather than real cheese. They charge as much as everyone else, but the food quality is very subpar. read more

I'm sorry I don't like to be rude but I gotta be honest! The food wasn't the best; my torta was all soggy and full of grease , my tacos had NO flavor! &' the hamburgers I ordered my siblings were soggy &' were falling apart! read more

The burritos are HUGE! They are about double the size of any burrito I have had anywhere. I can't find my receipt but I think the burritos ranged from around $8-$11. My wife got the spicy pork and I got the Carne? They didn't skimp on the meat and the burritos we had along with the meat are filled with rice and refried beans and lettuce if I remember right. You can make it a platter for like a couple of bucks more for a side of rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, small dollop of guacamole and sour cream added to the plate and about another dollar to add a red sauce on top of your burrito. Pass on the red sauce. It is like a plain crushed tomato sauce that needs work. They fry their own tortilla chips but they were overcooked as too far browned and it doesn't taste like a corn chip anymore rather than too toasted. Verge of burned. Both my wife and my burrito meat fillings were on the salty side. Other than the negatives I mentioned, me and my wife liked our burritos minus the salt. I have tasted better Mexican food but for the decent price for such a large burrito I will go back again. I just hope the salt matter was just an off day. read more

This is my Favorite Mexican restaurant they remind me of Yakima restaurant's homemade flour tortillas everything fresh

Pretty sure I got some food poisoning after eating here. Started to feel bad right after eating, chicken tasted off. I would avoid this place, I don't plan to ever go back read more

Favorite Mexican food in the area! Big food portions, which are great and great customer service!

This place is the spot for some of the best Mexican food in Washington hit it up if you're wanting to have your taste buds amazed :)

Regardless of the lack of patrons, and less-than-prime kent location, the food and service here is good. I work at a nearby business and have made a quick run for food here multiple times. The portions are generous, hot, and tasty! Every time I have gone in, there have been no more than 4 people eating. Please visit this local business and support kent and the local Mexican fare! read more

So yummy. Fresh chips made on the spot. Amazing salsa. Real burritos. The only sadness was that they don't have liquor. But other than that, I couldn't have asked for better REAL Mexican food. Support your local businesses. This one is well worth it. read more

We just recently relocated from Renton over to Kent. I was driving around and found this little, as I LOVE to call them, "Hole in the wall" place. I was really excited, thinking that I might get some great Mexican food. So, when we had the opportunity to get out for a meal the other night, it was an easy decision to drive over to El Incapaz. That, my friends, was a very bad decision. When we arrived, there was just one customer in the entire place. He was sitting there, waiting for his order. We sat at a table and had a woman give us menus. She informed us that she'd be right with us. We perused the menu, and we shocked to find that it was quite limited, and a big chunk was filled up with pizza options, burgers, and a kids menu. It took about 15 minutes before the woman came back to take our drink order. We decided to order a beer (since we'd been told by some friends, on Facebook, that it was National Beer Day). This place offered THREE choices. That's it. Not impressed, we went with Corona. First, we were brought glasses, on a plate, with the HUGEST slices of lemon. The glasses weren't cold, and they were dirty. YUCK! And the lemons were way too big to put in the bottle. I prefer lime anyway. Our drinks were served, by their daughter. Normally, it wouldn't bother me... because I'm a huge supporter of small, family owned/run businesses. But, their daughter was MAYBE 10 - 12 years old. That's it. And, she brought us the beers, OPEN! This is illegal. A miner, and a very young one at that, brought us open containers of alcohol. It was quite disturbing, in our eyes. (Now, I'm from California... are the laws different here in Washington?) Our food finally arrived. We got a little order of chicken taquitos. THAT'S where we should have stopped with our food. It was decent, and we at through them without problem (even though the toppings were lacking something). When our dinner was served, we we both highly disappointed by the food. I got an asada burrito. It was barely passable for warm. My rice was cold and the beans tasted like they'd been cooked in a pot where the bottom burnt, and that burnt taste was in the beans. My wife got the carne asada platter. Same for her rice and beans. Her asada wasn't very tender and she didn't eat even half of it. We brought our food home, but didn't eat the leftovers. We didn't complain, because honestly, it just wasn't worth it. But, we won't be going back to this little "hole in the wall" again. I'm so glad that I'm going home, to San Diego, for a vacation, in a few weeks. I'm going to get my fill of Mexican food. Washington State, in the last year, has really left me unimpressed and sorely aching for REALLY GOOD Mexican food. Not that I haven't found enjoyable places, but there is always something missing. This place missed them all, and that makes me sad. read more

Let me get the negative out of the way first - service is slow, really slow. If you don't mind talking to whoever you're with - then this can be overcome with a little conversation. If you like a little less conversation and a little more action then ............... wait for it................................. put on some Elvis! Anyway, we went in looking for some machaca for breakfast (which they did not have) and wound up eating carne asada street tacos and some kind of Mexican scrambled eggs with beans and rice. Everything was tasty, beans were fresh, meat was tender and juicy - everything tasted really good. What really surprised us; we ordered a juice. Couldn't quite figure out what it was supposed to be from the menu or from the waitress' description (she barely spoke English) but it looked semi good so we ordered it. So we were talking (by that I mean we were each on our phones playing something or other) not paying much attention when I looked over and saw her actually making the juice - beets, orange, carrots - into the juicer they went and an ice cold glass of red juice appeared at our table. Now I'm not really a beet kinda guy, but this was pretty good. I might even order it again next time. One other note, salsa was kinda runny but it tasted good, hot. Chips were fresh-made on site. I definitely would go back. read more

The reason I didn't give this place 5 stars, was how SLOW the service was... but, it was worth it, in my honest opinion. My BFF & I almost walked out after seating ourselves, & then waiting for a LONG long time to even have someone come to our table & give us menus. We had ALMOST left at that point, but, then she walked up with menus & I needed a little something before the drive home. We decided to stay. I ordered some chicken soft tacos off the appetizer portion of the menu, & OH MY GOODNESS, they were soooooo DELICIOUS!!! My BFF shared them with me, & also bought a HUGE burrito with carne asada to bring home to her brother. read more
