    Complimentary Salsa Bar...
    Jeff B.

    Other than the flea market, I believe this is the only Mex joint in the TC that do Pupusas (a guilty pleasure of mine). Their's were outstanding. Probably some of the biggest I've sampled in Central Washington. Additional menu items ordered were equally delicious, as were all their sauces and salsas. My wifey's Posole' was an absolute monster. Good thing we were traveling with our fellas, because it took all four of us get it down. Great Mom & Pop restaurant, and about 180° from hipster. And--of course--me likey that...

    Asada taco salad

    Had the asada taco salad and totally worth the price ($8). Especially when compared to other salads that you can get from chain drive-thru. Also love the pupusas!!

    the menu of a mexican restaurant
    ElConQuistador M.

    Food is fantastic. And they are open super early, so you get your breakfast or lunch quickly. They have a drive through. I get my lunch here twice a week and they never disappoint. Inside they have a Topping bar. Mexican cabbage coleslaw, jalapeños, salsa's. Lengua (super soft cow Tongue, personal favorite ), tripe, cabeza meats are extra. Attached is thier recent menu.

    Chicken chimichanga

    Awesome Pupuseria! Can not finish my plate! Very filling! The chimichanga will be a challenge! Tasty food and great service!

    huevos chorizo
    Corey G.

    Glad I finally made it to El Amanecer for desayuno (aka breakfast). I really need to hone my Spanish, cuz when I walk in here, there's always that awkward few seconds when I try to figure out how to ask for what I'd like. It matters not though, every time I've come the guy I always talk to always hooks me up with something excellent---even if only a few English words are spoken. It looks like they have several breakfast plates. I know what huevos are and I know what chorizo is, so I went with the huevos rancheros plate; it came with beans (with white cheese) & rice. I didn't know what to drink, so the server-guy gave me a sample of a melon drink. I'm not a melon person, but I gave it a try. It was fairly decent. This place continues to impress.

    Platanos Fritos - Fried Plantains (May 8, 2010)
    Jennifer C.

    My friend and I came here for the tacos, but left absolutely head over heels in love with the fried plantains. Good gracious, they were delicious. Slender halves of banana's cousin are presented with the perfect caramelization...though they really don't need any topping, the sweet condensed milk sauce doesn't hurt the situation. A basic working knowledge of Spanish will be extremely helpful in ordering from the diverse menu including tacos, tortas, flautas, mole, breakfast, and much more. Tacos are presented simply dressed with a bit of shredded cabbage and a slice of radish, lime wedges on the side. I didn't see a bar with other topping choices, but bottles of green and red salsa were brought to our table. El Amanecer's chicken is moist and delicious, whereas the pork was a bit drier than I would have liked. Lengua (that would be tongue) is tender and very good.

    Pupsas (pork and cheese)

    See all
