    Camarones a la Diabla (and mango fruit cup in the back)
    Smaly K.

    One of my friends had been here once before and suggested we all meet here for dinner. The parking lot was pretty packed, and we were lucky to all be able to get parking spots. I thought we better go reserve a table for the five of us. But when we walked in, we were confused because the restaurant was pretty much empty, only two tables were occupied with customers. We sat ourselves and were given chips and salsa while we looked over the menu. I do like that they give you a variety of salsa with the chips, except the chips wasn't warm or didn't taste as fresh as some of the other Mexican restaurants. I ordered my favorite Mexican dish, Camarones a la Diabla, and had the option of making it hot instead of mild, which I did. I asked if I could get black beans instead the refried beans, but they didn't have that, so I just got all rice instead. My Camarones a la Diabla had good flavor, and I like their rice better than any other Mexican restaurant I've been to. My friends were satisfied with their food. One of them ordered the mango fruit cup with the chili salt seasoning on it, and that was good.

    Carne asada and carnita tacos

    Service was great, love that you get 3 different salsas to eat with chips, the beans are soooooo good! Restaurant was clean and it was fast service. I think the pricing was great it was $38 after tax before tip for the two entrees.

    I asked for a side of beans and received approximately HALF a ladle full for $4 dollars.

    DO NOT COME HERE. Poor customer service. If there's a problem with your order they'll just say they don't speak English. I've been coming here for 4 years now and still am treated like garbage. And they will hang up the phone in your face.

    This is a really nice place, no one bothers you here. They have a bar. The ambiance here is really nice, sort of a mellow vibe. The customer service is really nice, you can't really customize your food but you can ask for extra ingredients and the server checks in on you regularly.

    Adobada Torta
    Jackie G.

    This place was recommended, so I drove a bit to go here. Pork Torta - Delicous Homemade chips and salsa yummy! Homemade fruit punch yummy! Friendly workers Price reasonable I can't say it was my favorite place as I'd have to come back a few times and try other stuff, but it was a good first impression.

    Came here for breakfast after an early morning ride to Seattle. Food was good and price was just right for the amount given. Waitress was friendly and made sure we were ok. A lot of parking. Inside felt open not too small.

    3 tacos one, carnitas,and asada,

    kinda salty, Carne asada taco seam to be plain are old,the carnitas was good beans good, rice good but salty salsas were very tasty tho.

    Fresh chips and salsa
    Demitri R.

    Where to start? The menu is expansive, be sure to check the pictures on the wall as well. Inside its nice and clean. They have a nice happy hour special. On to the food. The chips are fresh and served with 3 different salsas all have a different level of bite. I ordered a Adobada taco and a Wet Asada burrito. The taco was delicious and the meat was tender and flavorful. Next time I will order more than one. On to the burrito. It looked small but it wasn't. How can they pack so much meat in? It felt like eating a two story burrito. And it has rice and beans but they spread it out in the tortilla so you got a little in each bite instead of plopping it on top then rolling it up. Also delicious and seasoned perfectly. I shall be a frequent flyer here.

    This is the top of my straw I took a drink tasted something nasty and looked down

    I went to this restaurant today with my family. This was the most disgusting thing's I've had happen to me I'd rather have bad food then have this happen..... weI sat down asked for water I went and took a drink of my and they had given me a USED STAW. On top of it the waiter did not apologize nor did he do anything to make the situation better he grab my glass walked away with it came back with a new cup of water and a straw that was not in my cup this time it was wrapped he said here it's fine now it's all better. Not better to me. I waited to see again if he was going to say anything no comment I looked at my husband and he said what do you want me to cancel your food my husband said yes he got angry and walked away what excuse do you have when you give a customer a used straw and then you're rude to them on top of it this is a very sad place to go and eat I would not trust anything they fed me I'm going to have a whole new outlook on what I order or what I drink when I go out to eat or even if I want to ever go out again.

    I've eaten half a torta and one taco. A meal fit for a King. And I got left overs. #Winning

    What a fabulous place. Casual, authentic Mexican food. Service is fast and friendly. You order at…read morethe counter and they have a great great salsa/sides bar (think pickled veggies and onions, slaw, limes for garnish, jalapenos) and if you're eating in, they give you chips while you wait; your food is brought right to your table. I'm making it my goal to try everything on the menu but it's going to take a while. The burritos are huge and delicious and loaded with fillings and they don't skimp on the meat. Birria and Chile Colorado are my favorites, chicken is plentiful but tends to be a tiny bit on the bland side so the salsas come in handy for that. The platos are HUGE. The refried beans are the best I've had anywhere. Tacos are also great. Have not tried the fish ones yet but I have a friend who's currently addicted so I'm assuming they're good as well. I have not encountered a miss on the menu yet. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Finally tried this taqueria after hearing so many good things about it and I was a little…read moredisappointed. We had adobada, asada and chicken tacos, added a side of fried onion and serrano pepper. The adobada meat was ok, chicken was good and our favorite was the asada. I didn't like the default salsa they put on the tacos, would've preferred just onion and cilantro. In fact I didn't like any of the salsas they offered, the green salsa was the only decent one and I'm sure the orange looking salsa was on its way out, it tasted and smelled funky. Customer service was great. We might come back just for asada tacos but maybe not.

Love the dark aesthetic and chill vibes. Everyone was friendly and food was excellent. My favorite dishes are the rib eye tacos and birria beef tacos. Rib eye steak was tender and had a hint of that char grill flavor. The birria tacos and consomé was also really flavorful. We enjoyed the tequila flaming fajita and the mini flame show as well lol. The chicken and shrimps were good but similar to my experience at the South Center location, the beef was really chewy (like over cooked). I also think they served way more veggies compared to meat proportions for their fajitas. My Dad got the burrito especial with grilled chicken and it was huge! He thought it was alright and got sick of it pretty quick because of how much rice and beans there were. We also ordered the margarita flights which were served in these cute mini glasses. I thought the pineapple coconut had the strongest alcohol taste whereas the passion fruit-guava and pina azul tasted like juice (I'm not a big drinker so I thought it was perfect). The pina azul tasted similar to a flat Baja Blast from Taco Bell with a hint of alcohol. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here. The only negative thing is we made a reservation at 8:00PM and came early at 7:30PM; at check in, they said at first we could get in sooner since we arrived but then quickly was told to actually wait until our reservation time (and that's totally fine and makes sense since we reserved for 8PM!!). I was just confused because the group that were walk-ins waiting got to go in before us. There wasn't anyone else waiting for a table and by the time they sat us, turns out there was plenty of open tables available... I just thought they'd want people to be seated sooner if they've arrived and had tables available since it was already 8PM and they close at 9PM lol.

    My boyfriend would always tell me that he thinks this is the restaurant that introduced him to…read moreMexican food for the first time and where he fell in love with Mexican food. We were in the area and were feeling hungry so we decided to stop by. The parking was pretty packed but had a spot or two so we were able to secure a spot. Once we entered, there was a sign that you could clearly see that said wait to be seated and it wasn't long until someone came by. We were greeted by a female hostess who smiled and professionally lead us to a booth to sit at for dinner. The menu was pretty extensive but not overwhelming as they had their alcohol drinks separate from their menu. A male server stopped by with some chips and salsa which I think is now fighting for best house made salsa that I've had in Washington. We ordered the combination dinner, I got mine with the tamale and tostada with chicken while my boyfriend got the chimichanga. We got another refill of chips which were not too salty and the perfect size to get a good chunk of salsa. We eventually had two waiters who was a young gentleman and an older gentleman but they were both so courteous and friendly. This was also probably the fastest we've gotten our food at a Mexican restaurant as it arrived maybe 8-10 minutes after we placed our order. The plates arrived nice and hot with the food portions being huge and the presentation was lovely! I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken as it felt more on the dry side for me but I also just don't like white meat and my boyfriend said it wasn't dry at all. I did love the amount of toppings on the tostada as it was stacked high with fresh ingredients on a bed of refried beans which was seasoned perfectly. The tamale was also absolutely delicious and I have had many tamales and I can say this tamale is immaculate. My boyfriend's chimichanga was delicious too from the bite I had and how he cleaned his plate. I can vouch that this place is authentic (dated a Mexican guy and their family spoiled me with amazing food and parties) and my boyfriend agrees that this spot is the perfect place for amazing Mexican food for those who are wanting to try or are hesitant. The staff here are super friendly and professional, they will even pack up your food! It just felt like going to a friend's to enjoy amazing vibes, fantastic food, and a overall good time. Definitely want to come back to try more dishes and drinks.
