Ramirez Mexican Restaurant & Store is one of those rare places that gets everything right. From the…read moremoment you walk in, the service is exceptional--welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind in a way that makes you want to linger. The food is incredible: rich, authentic flavors, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with care. Every bite tastes like someone's abuela is in the kitchen making sure it's done right. And then there's the store--absolutely lovely. Beautifully stocked with incredible pastries that are impossible to resist, vibrant piñatas, and so many thoughtful details that make it feel more like a cultural experience than just a quick stop. You can tell pride and love are poured into every corner of the place. Ramirez isn't just a restaurant or a market--it's a community gem. We'll be back again and again, and I'll happily bring anyone visiting from out of town here first.

A flavor explosion! I wanted tripe tacos but they didn't have tripe tacos... So I ordered carnitas…read moretacos instead. My daughter ordered 6 tacos too. And my husband ordered birria tacos. We also shared a delicious bowl of menudo.

Ventured back into this brightly colored restaurant in downtown Olympia. The service was incredible…read more- fast and efficient. The decor reminded me of a southwest authentic restaurant with and accentuated flair. We got the chimichangas with Al pastor. There were nice chunks of pineapple throughout - true, authentic Al Pastor. The rice was amazing too. They gifted us a horchata and pineapple juice drink (again MORE chunks of pineapples!). These drinks set the meal off perfectly. We shall return (maybe tomorrow)

The service was excellent and the food was good too. Not terribly busy so no wait time to get seated. It's not fancy, but it's fun. Good place for a decent dinner with coworkers on a Friday after a long day. Good margaritas.

Usually people hype a place up and I'm not impressed when I go. This place is not that. The nachos…read morewere amazing! I had the carnitas and it was probably the best carnitas I've ever had. The guac was held in high regard and I do not disagree. The texture of the chips... unlike anything I've ever had before. So good! I tried a margarita flight ($20 on Mondays). The classic and strawberry were too sweet for me. The Cadillac was on point though. Next time I go, I'm getting the Cadillac and the big burrito with carnitas!

This place honestly couldn't be better. The speed of the service on a busy night is unreal. The…read moretacos and guac? Absolutely incredible. And the hot sauce actually has real heat. I tried five different tacos--poblano, al pastor, carne asada--and every single one impressed me. This spot seriously delivers. The ambience is what you'd expect from a district-style eatery. It's not a traditional sit-down restaurant but more of a collection of different spots and flavors all in one place--an amalgamation of experiences, which honestly adds to the vibe.

They seem always in a hurry, hard to enjoy a meal when you are rushed. Front desk person not polite or inviting. When I order to go, items like ustensil or napkins are missing. I am never going back there, I will try Jalisco just a block away instead.

This place was a pleasant surprise. We only knew the name and the address and when we pulled into…read morean area behind the gas station were skeptical. It is inside the gas station convenience store. It's a small place where you order at the window and there is limited seating. Because I had an upset stomach, I got a grilled cheese but the rest of the family got Mexican food and thought it was quite good. They had a reasonable variety of options.

This food is pretty fucking good. My wife and I were getting our trucks oil changed and we wanted…read moreto get a few steps and something to eat. This place is located on a Shell quick mart up by all of the auto dealers in west Olympia. Clean place. Friendly staff on this wet and cold Veteran's day afternoon. We ordered the quesabirria and it was awesome. Three tacos. Crispy. Cheesy. And the meat was so tender. Avocado sauce and fresh salsa. Not a full meal but what a great find. No matter what you try, these those things. Perfect.

I read a lot of negative reviews, but were staying in the hotel next door so gave it a shot…read more It was actually very tasty and hit the spot, whether or not it's authentic. It was charming inside, and the service was great, unlike other reviews mentioned. My only complaint is that it was cold inside!

Not great. Let me start off by saying that Plaza Jalisco has always been my go to for Mexican food…read morein the area. There are A LOT of Mexican places to choose from and this USED to be my first choice every time. I have been going here for years but over the last year, every time I go, I tell myself it will be the last. After today, it is truly the last time. 1 - The server, an older lady with black hair, is always grumpy and acts like you are bothering her by asking for basic things like napkins, silverware,etc. She is unfriendly no matter how nice you are. Her name starts with an S but I'm not trying to put her on blast publicly. 2.) The prices are ridiculous. I know everything has gone up but 19.00 for a bowl of tortilla soup? 22.99 for a lunch sized portion of Polla ala Crema? I paid 29.22 today for polla ala crema and a soda that was never refilled. There was 3 ounces, at best, of chicken on the plate. 3.) Refills are practically non existent now. My cup sat empty for most of my meal and the server never came back to check on us so I never received a refill.paying 3.50 for one glass of soda is ridiculous. 4.) We ran out of salsa but there was no offer for more, like most mexican restaurants offer. 5.) The restaurant is always cold, not sure if they are trying to save on electricty but it is noticeably cold in there. The polla ala crema is very good and it is what has had me coming back but I just can't fathom spending almost 30.00 (without the tip) for lunch for one person for such small portions and terrible service. It was a good run, Plaza. I do wish you well, but judging by the empty parking lot every time I have been there in the past year, I am guessing things aren't great. It might be the prices. Or the service. Either way, best of luck.

The dim lighting and colors of the restaurant are a great vibe. It feels romantic. My girlfriend got the carne asada & I got the habanero enchiladas. My only major complaint, is that the habanero enchiladas were not spicy at all. The flavor was great. But I found myself wanting to ask for Tapatio or something to douse them with as well. Our server had disappeared before our food arrived and I was honestly too hungry to wait. But she didn't come back to check on us for probably 15 minutes after someone else brought our food, unfortunately. The carne asada was delicious though. Very tender and the seasoning was perfect. Will definitely be coming back.
