The service was amazing, the employee explained to us all the prices and sizes of dish. My boyfriend got a burrito (about $16) and it was massive. I got the tostadas (about $17 for 2 loaded tostadas) and they were delicious. We got complimentary chips and salsa, the tortilla chips must be house made because they were incredible. There are no fountain drinks and no water except for bottled water. The restaurant smelled vaguely of cigarette smoke, with no outdoor seating. The food was so good that it made the negatives worth it. It looks like they have a taco Tuesday deal for $1.50/per taco instead of the regular $2.50/per taco. I am traveling and will be gone by Tuesday otherwise I would definitely come back for that deal. The chicken on my tostadas was delicious and not spicy (they have a complimentary salsa bar if you like spicy), and the al pastor on our burrito was seasoned to the nines. 10/10 flavors all around. At first I thought it was going to be like Betos, but if this place gets 4/5 stars- betos gets 1/5 stars. read more

Was in Tumwater for an event and stopped off with my wife for a bite beforehand. My favorite stops- the unheralded, little secret place with good food . Bring an appetite as portions are crazy. Orders small carne fries which could feed 4. After that My wet burrito arrived. All 8 pounds of it. Seriously it's the biggest thing I've ever seen. I prefer red enchilada sauce with wet burritos but the Chile verde was tangy. My wife had platter of 3 tacos and the carnitas option were the best. If want food truck style authentic food and a lot of it worth a visit. And sharing plates recommended read more

We stopped by for late lunch on a weekday. The restaurant was pretty quiet at that time. We took a bit of time going over the menu and decide what we want to order, the lady at the register was pretty patient and answered our questions. We ended up ordering a gordita and the enchiladas estilo aquascalientes. They first served us some complimentary chips and salsa and the food came out a few minutes later. We liked what we can and the portions were big enough, especially for the enchiladas. read more

Place has given my boyfriend food poisoning twice now. They obviously do not care for the health of their customers. It's a shame because we called to try to let them know of the food poisoning the first time in hopes they would change some protocols but it has happened yet again. read more

For its price, they gave a generous portion of asada fries, and definitely have loads of asada and while having good fries that compliment the meal well! read more

We were a little bummed about this place. The asada fries tasted like unseasoned shredded beef rather than asada and the flautas were very overcooked and the meat was hard as a rock. Unfortunately, we probably won't be back. read more

I was the only "Gringo" in this place. Sunday lunch was very crowded with all ages present. There is minimal parking at restaurant but ample parking at the strip mall nearby. I got a couple of Gorditas with tongue (not on menu but counter girl asked the people in back and they said yes. Also got the "Chico" (small) order of Carne Asada Fries. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you at tables. Large dining area. Very positive vibes in this hole in the wall place with peppy Hispanic music coming from the kitchen. Cold drinks and beers (all Mexican) in glass coolers to the side of the counter. The Carne Asada fries were huge and very tasty. The meat was diced up nicely and the other ingredients fresh. The two Gorditas were also very flavorful and you could tell the tortillas were freshly made. Definitely try this place for some authentic Mexican food. read more

My go to when I want a decent meal. About 1 block from my house. I get the 1/2 pollo asada with rice and beans. Chickens good , rice is good and beans are good. They serve it with home made tortillas too. I have to get their homemade jalapeño salsa with it. My kids love the carne asada fries. Their burritos and tortas are huge too. Great place. read more

Best horchata in my whole life!!! Visiting from Utah, the outside made us nervous but once walking inside the environment was authentic. Food was freaking fantastic!!! read more

Ordered flautas for pickup here -- very bland. Idk if they missed something or what since there are a lot of reviews about good flavor, but it was just bland (including the rice and beans. The salsa with it was pretty good and made it edible, but I was pretty disappointed. read more

Awesome food will be getting again, I got the wet burrito it was massive you get what you pay for

Hidden gem! The ceviche was super delicious. Great Pastor tacos, hubs said steak in his quesadilla was a little tough Order at counter and sit. Quick service! read more

This place is a hidden gem. I came here to check out their carne asada fries. So worth it. They give you so much! One large order is enough for 2 people to share. The fries are thick cut and they load up on the meat and toppings. They also give you chips and salsa for free. I definitely want to try a burrito. They are huge. read more

Let me first say there was nothing wrong with the carne asada fries. They were just super underwhelming. I'm not a big jalapeño fan so I asked to have them without. When I received my fries all of the onions and pico de gallo were missing. When I went back to inform them of the missing veggies. I was told because everything is mixed in together, removing one item removes everything. Also, the meat was a bit light. Again, nothing was wrong with the fries, they just made me reminisce of a place with amazing carne asada fries. read more

Tried the grilled chicken and it was outstanding! Food is quick and made to order so that's a plus. Especially love the white jalapeño salsa to put on everything. My go to place south of Seattle. read more

Un lugarcito bien pequeňito pero todos sus plitillos muy delicioso y frescos..los recomiendo totalmente.

The portions are twice what you expect. The meats are all fantastic and lovingly crafted. The sauces have serious heat, in the best way. Maybe the best Mexican food I've found in Seattle since leaving Arizona read more

The staff here is always so friendly and the food is always delicious! Their prices are very affordable with HUGE portions. They are currently only doing to-go orders, but the sweet lady that was giving me my order said they are planning to opening up next week to dine in! They gave us free chips and salsa as well which is super nice. So lucky to live 5mins away from them. :) read more

La Rielera - Taco Tuuuuuuesday! $1 Carne Asada tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The Best Mexican food in Seattle, you'll have to try everything they serve. They have the best service!

Five stars for the food being really authentic (a rarity in Seattle), and cheap! Portions are large. We've tried the gordotas and they were amazing. Parking is not great, especially on Sundays since there seems to be a Christian church set up next door, but for the great food, it's still worth stopping by for takeout. read more

Random find on Yelp and we made the trip looking for real Mexican food in a clean restaurant. The outside looked a bit rough, but the smell coming off the smoker out front was amazing. Restaurant was packed, believe church next door just got out. Ordered burrito for the boy and I had the pork both were very tasty. Wife has asada quesadilla knowing we had to much food. All tasted great but think we missed the mark on what to order. Salsa actually had a kick with great flavor and the have multiple, the dalsa from chips was different then the mild Chipotle with s kick that came out with our food. We will be back as watching what most people ordered, gordito, smoked chicken and soup seemed to be the go to items. 1 stars removed as the they need to clean up the outside. Restaurant was clean inside although counter / menu made it feel cluttered. Most important the food was amazing and with the drive. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Not much to look at from outside, and the same goes for the inside of this establishment, but I'm not one to judge a book by it's cover. I find that a lot of these "hole in the wall" type places are gems in regards to good eats, and this place is no exception. The food I had was great! Asada Torta, Chicharrón Gorditas, and Asada Tacos all hit the spot. All the ingredients were fresh and of good quality. The meat was moist and full of flavor, and as for the sauces they were good too. I recommend that if you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food check this place out. When I saw the menu with a limited selection of dishes I was excited! I have found that these limited food menus are sometimes a good indicator that what they do have on their menu is very good. I've seen this place in passing, and I am so glad I took the time to finally stop in. read more

La Rielera - Never tried, until today. - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is delicious and a must visit if you are waiting on a flight or are in the area. The burrito is the size of my thigh! The quesadilla is huge as well. Authentic flavors and self serve toppings with all the cilantro you could want. I'm in love. I just wish they were located in Bremerton so I could eat here weekly. read more

Great find! Can't believe I didn't know this place was here! My husband is from the intercity of Long Beach CA and he said this food took him back home.

Got violently sick immediately after their carnitas burrito. Eight hours of hell, two days of dehydration followed. Its a real shame because my first four visits were great. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, now I have the fear, and will never return... read more

The correct phone number is 206-579-6092. Try something really wonderful you won't regret it. It's Mexican but with a different twist I guess that's why they say It's the flavor from Aguascalientes... https://plus.google.com/104678997790297843471/about read more

Ordered through UberEats. refried beans was runny watered down soup. Carne asada was burned. I can't eat anything. I'm out 40 bucks and hungry. Sad part is when it comes to mexican food, I will eat anything. So this was a shock. super disappointing Now I'm off to find food. read more

The food is very good! Couple visits and it's consienten. Pollo asado is delicious and birria "lamb" is awesome! Rice, beans and chips and salsas where great. Definitely family owned small and you can taste it. I will keep coming back. read more

Massive Burritos! Delicious too! Nice out of the way hope in the wall, once inside it's clean and friendly and homey. Price is right! read more

Not an expert on this type of food but if it's good, it's good so here goes...the tostadas de tinga (2 for $5) have sweet chicken but came with beans and very mild green salsa that even that out a little. Lots of toppings and easily a meal although I would get extra tortillas. My 8 yr old liked this one. The guisado del dia sope with potatoes and a kind of gravy on them was very good and more food than expected for the price as well. The Pambazo with those same potatoes and chorizo was large and very good. Although the chorizo is not that flavorful, the other ingredients made up for it. Parking is on the side and kind of awkward but hey, it's free parking. I thought the inside was simple, but cozy and in fact there was a birthday celebration going on when we were there. 1/2 hour before closing two other tables were occupied and a couple patrons came in for take out too. I had been meaning to try this place because in the summer they BBQ out front and the smell is to die for but I'm soo cheap. Honestly though, we got a ton of food for the money and it was good so I'll be back. read more

So I'm a bay area native. I also am a first generation Mexican. So it's safe to say I live and breath tacos. So moving to seattle, I wasn't sure if I was going to see much of the foods I was use to. This place goes toe to toe with my favorite spots in the bay read more

Let me start off by saying i live in Los Angeles where mexican food is king. I come to Seattle every other month and when I leave the airport my firat stop is here, amazing food and being that I eat alot of Mexican food in LA, this reminds me of home. I always get the tacos and the salsa is fire! Oh and when I leave Seattle I stop in before I go back home. Did i mention the salsa. Don't take my word for it come in and enjoy! And the owner is so friendly great food great people...love it read more

I don't know about their other dishes but I would stay away from the tripas here. I ordered the tacos de tripa here and it was clear from the taste and smell that the tripas were not properly cleaned. Also the pieces were not cut or chopped very well, so you basically had long pieces of tripas that were soft, smelly and mushy. I've been on a taco binge lately and this was by far the worst tacos I had. Also the salsa was extremely bland and watery...thank God I had some leftover salsa from a different restaurant the other day. read more

Best chicken I've ever had! And great salsas. Also the burritos will last you for 3 meals! I love this place!

One of my most favorite Mexican restaurants! Just make sure you don't make the same mistake i did by ordering a Gordita and three tacos your first time out. They were huge and delicious! They smoke the meat out front. read more

Ordered asada fries, extra crispy fries with No pico de Gallo. Paid $14 bucks for it and I got home to UNDERCOOKED fries and.. pico de Gallo. Too bad it's a waste since I'm allergic to onions. Won't be back! read more
