I heard this place recently opened, so thought I would try it out since I was in the area…read more Shockingly, I haven't run across very many fresh, good, quality Mexican restaurants. This place impressed me. Prices were reasonable, customer service was good, and the food was excellent. The building itself doesn't look like much and even the inside is simple. They play Mexican music, but not too loud. When you first sit down they bring out chips, salsa, and beans. The salsa has excellent flavor and isn't watered down. Not too spicy and not mild. The menu had a wide variety of options. I went during lunch so I ordered the Flautas. They were chicken flautas and came with a side of rice and beans. They were so fresh! Nice and crispy and not too greasy. The rice and beans had good flavor. Everything was nice and hot. My meal was roughly $7.99 if I remember correctly. I will say I wasn't a fan of the tap water, but that's not really in their control. I will definitely be back.

This is my favorite restaurant in the area, and I make a point to go here every time I'm in town…read more They are doing takeout during this extended period of "pandemic," so grab some lunch or dinner to go! I know there are a lot of small businesses in this area to support, but many of them are trucks or shacks, and this full-sized restaurant probably takes a lot more revenue to keep open. Please help them survive this lockdown. They are easy to find only if you know what you're looking for. What you're looking for is Rodeway Inn! They share the parking lot, but El Valle is hidden in the back. I know it's called "Family Restaurant," but I'm pretty sure it really IS a family who runs it. I always see the same people working here over the past few years I've been patronizing this establishment. They are all great. I especially like the young, big guy. The first time I remember him serving us, he was really rude, but in a funny way that amused me. I was pretty sure at the time that it was a shtick, and as I've experienced his personality about 20 more times since then, I am confident that it was. He is always either funny or really nice, and he is certainly the most memorable! The prices here lean high, but the serving portions are also on the larger side. If you're concerned about the prices, give them a try during lunch, as their lunch menu is a better value. They serve lunch from 11a-3p. My favorite thing here, and one of the main things I judge mexican restaurants by, is the carne asada. El Valle rivals my favorite places for this dish. It is seasoned and cooked perfectly. The rice and beans that accompany it are also very good. Though it is served with a green onion, a fried jalapeño, a blob of guac, and tortillas, I always omit everything but the guac. The guac is usually amazing, though sometimes much heavier on the onions than I like. The only other thing I usually order here is a chicken enchilada, and it's also very good. I can't personally speak to anything else, but my ex branched out and ordered a lot of other offerings, and he liked most of the things he tried. I am a white girl, I love mexican food, and I'm extremely picky. That said, my favorite mexican food is americanized. If you're looking for authentic, there are about a billion other mexican food places in this area, so you might want to shop around. My ex is mexican, and was born and raised in mexico, but he is not very picky. The only times I noticed he wasn't fully satisfied here were when he was looking for something to really remind him of home and his mom's cooking. Then he was hard to please, and El Valle did not quite hit the spot for him on those occasions. But we both enjoyed coming here together, and now I enjoy coming here alone. ;-)

The staff was friendly, attentive, and on point throughout the visit. Service felt polished and welcoming. I ordered the Cadillac Margarita and it was excellent. Smooth, well balanced, and easily one of the highlights of the night. The atmosphere also leans toward a higher end cantina feel. Warm lighting, nice decor, and a space that feels like it wants to be elevated. Then there is the food. Instead of the usual chips and salsa, they brought out fried Mexican wheat crisps. They were fine, but they felt more like something you would grab at a Hispanic flea market than something you expect at an upscale cantina. Not bad, just unexpected, and a little confusing given the setting. We ordered the flautas and those were genuinely delicious. Crispy, flavorful, and paired with a generous portion of guacamole that really worked. No complaints there. The pozole pappardelle had good flavor, but calling it pozole based felt like a stretch. It tasted good, but it did not really hit the mark of what you expect from pozole. The amount of chicken was also pretty light, especially for a $28 dish. At that price point, you expect a more generous portion, and it just was not there. My wife ordered the chicken tortilla soup and it was very good. That said, it tasted different from the last time she visited. Not necessarily worse, just different. That suggests to me that there may be some variation depending on the day, but the flavors were still solid. Overall, Perch feels like it is caught in a bit of a food limbo. The atmosphere suggests a higher end experience, but the limited menu and some of the food choices do not fully match that vibe. It is not bad, and there are definitely things done well, but it does not quite come together as a complete experience. I would go back for drinks and happy hour, but I am still undecided if it fully delivers on what it is trying to be.

Which makes Tammy's a pleasant surprise indeed. You can tell from the outside, just driving by - Tammy's isn't trying too hard to get your attention. Its simple storefront reminded me immediately of the many family-owned Mexican restaurants in Phoenix, and walking through the door only confirmed it: Tammy's is the real deal. The decor is warm and comfortable, the staff speaks mostly Spanish and most of the customers are Hispanic too. The dishes on the menu are more than the cheese-and-beans remixes most PNW Mexican restaurants offer - this is the kind of food someone's abuela might cook for you on a warm day in Mesa. And while the portions are healthy, you'll want to eat every bite and savor all the flavor. I tried the Milanesa de Res and cleaned my plate - the flour tortillas that came with it were obviously homemade and the perfect accompaniment. There are a lot of Mexican restaurants in Yakima, but take my advice: if you're looking for the real deal, Tammy's is the place to go.
