What a delicious delightful surprise!! So many Mexican restaurants I visit are ok at bust....this one is an absolute gem! I had the steak fajitas and hands down best I've ever had. So tender and flavorful and what a pile of meat and peppers and onions! I just finished eating there with another flight attendant from my airline and we both loved our meals. Please take the reviews seriously. Delicious, kind, affordable. The trifecta of a restaurant worth going to. read more

My daughter and I were both craving breakfast and Mexican so La Ruleta hit the spot. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. An 18% gratuity is added to parties of 8+. Be sure to spin the wheel upon entrance for your chance to win a free dessert. Covered patio with limited seating is available for those who like to sit outside. La Ruleta can easily seat large parties together inside. La Ruleta does not have a bar/lounge; however, beer, wine and spirits are available. Lunch specials run Mon-Fri from 11am-3pm. The menu is diverse, sure to satisfy everyone. We arrived at opening and during our visit, there was one single person doing everything: seating, cooking, taking orders, cleaning and cashing people out. Be patient. Enjoy your experience and company. While looking over the menu, we snacked on complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were light and crispy. The salsa was a bit runny/thin and mild for my tastes. My daughter ordered a Michelada for $12. I ordered a Bloody Mary for $8. The Bloody Mary was garnished with a single celery stick while lacking the standard garnishments such as olives, pepperoncini's, beans, asparagus etc. I chose the Mexican Scramble for $17. I chose fresh fruit as my side and declined the toast and/or tortilla. My daughter ordered the Chorizo Benedict for $14.50 with a side of fresh fruit. We ended our breakfast with a complimentary Fried Ice Cream thanks to spinning the wheel. Overall, we both enjoyed our meal choices. Staff was friendly and we weren't in a hurry so we didn't mind the slow service. My next order be will to-go to enjoy at home. read more

Food was great! I was very impressed with everything we ordered. Gran mocajete was $49 and delicious. Sauce had a good kick. Queso fundido was large and tasty. Carne asada was better than most I've had. Meals come with salad or chicken and vegetable soup. Even the kids quesadilla didn't skimp on the cheese. Margaritas were tasty but felt kind of small for $15. Will definitely be returning especially for the mocajete. Plus is they have a good size parking lot. Service was friendly. read more

The reviews were right! I'll be brief, the Molcajete was FANTASTIC, meats were to die for, prawns were SCRUMPTIOUS and the sauce was YUMMY and spicy! Also got the Quesa Birria plate (because the reviews were great on these too) and they were AWESOME! Meat was great, Consume was FANTASTIC!! Definitely going there again, going to use up my limit of Groupons!!! Then have my wife but some!!! Bought the $100 one, and used all of it plus some on 2 meals and 4 Cadillacs, which were very SATISFYING as well!!! Service was fantastic too!!! read more

Delicious Mexican food the service was really good you get greeted with fresh chips and a mild homemade red salsa. Once orders have been placed you get a choice of homemade soup to go along with your entree. I got the menudo but it's only tripe no hominy is given. Husband got the chilaquiles with guajillo red sauce and grandpa got a big burrito with beef tongue there were no complaints and will be back soon! read more

We entered to have lunch at an odd time of day (around 2:30), so, for awhile, we were the only customers. Upon entering, I noticed there were bars on all of the windows and doors. This made me sad for the owners and is a testament to the location rather than the business itself. The service was good. Both hostess and waiter were attentive. I don't recall being "blown away" by the food I ordered but I also don't recall being dissatisfied. I ate lunch with a friend whose diet is totally different than mine and we both felt there were plenty of options for each of us. read more

I found my new favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! Flavor, flavor, flavor! I have found a lot of other restaurants to be bland - but this place has flavor in spades. The atmosphere is decent and the wait staff proved great service. I had the Burrito Verde Suiza with pastor. Highly, highly, recommended! read more

I ordered takeout last Friday for dinner we've been here before so I wanted to try something different which turned out to the Three Mariners Enchiladas plus my usual three Lengua street tacos. Both meals included beans and rice and a chicken soup. Now the enchiladas come with shrimp, scallops,and calamari rolled up in flour tortillas covered with a verde crème sauce it was so delicious I finished it without getting a picture oops sorry, the three proteins were cooked but not over cooked. The sauce was a little spicy but not hot. I did get one of the street tacos which were so good as well. The rice and beens round a nice meal. Service wise my order was ready when my wife arrived and nothing was left out so no complaints. They've been consistent with their quality I recommend them to anyone. read more

La Ruleta Mexican Restaurant - LENGUA TACOS COMBO (L) - Mexican Near Me - Everett, Washington

In short Family-style place with lots of familiar items on the menu, all made exceptionally well with fresh ingredients. They're justifiably known for their carne. In long We were headed north for a leisurely drive with another destination in mind for lunch, and I-5 traffic reared its ugly head. It so often does. Waze routed us through town, and our ETA never got any closer, so we ended up stumbling straight into a place we now feel silly for not noticing sooner. They've been here a couple years already. They're in a little old house that's kinda easy to drive by and just not notice, but it's worth a stop to say the least. They have tons of parking right outside, which not every place on Broadway can say. You walk across a concrete patio, then you actually have to turn the doorknob to step inside, so it has a quirky combination of business and residential touches before you even get in. Inside, 3 dining rooms seat probably 20-24 people each, separated by low dividing walls. It's easy to imagine this place getting swamped for the dinner hour and on Sundays. Service is quick and friendly, and it'll probably help if you don't push the 5-cent English words too much (more on that in a second). We knew they had a crazy breakfast menu all day, including some American dishes, but we were here very much to see what the traditional Mexican stuff was about. We had chips and salsa right away, with some awesome smoky, spicier salsa showing up on request a minute later. We got a Piña Colada and a Seahawks margarita after a couple minutes. The marg has curaçao in it to change the color. Both were clearly made from scratch mixes with more sourness to the marg and sweet creaminess to the Piña Colada that just won't come from a bottle off the shelf. We each got carne asada; one plate with chilaquiles and one with spicy shrimp. The chilaquiles plate comes with 2 eggs as well, and is only $15. The shrimp combo was worth it at $27 (you get a bit bigger steak on that plate). The carne is amazing. Great fresh grilled flavor, and so much thicker than most places serve it. Seemed more like a flatiron steak than a skirt. At least 1/4" thick and perfectly medium rare. The chilaquiles had great crispness still intact around the edges--even taken home and re-heated the next day, they still had more crunch than most places can get to the plate at first service. So good. The shrimp had tons of flavor along with the heat in the diabla sauce. Everything on each plate was in amazing shape--guac, rice, beans, extra salsas (not exactly like the ones served with the chips), it all worked together and added something to the meal. At one point we were joking about spices and margaritas on the table, and our absolutely awesome friendly server misunderstood and thought we wanted another drink. So we "ordered" a jalapeño margarita that turned out to be delicious. One of the happiest misunderstandings I've had in a while. So I'd keep sentences short and clear and make sure nobody feels self-conscious about their English vocab, unless you're like me and don't mind hanging out an extra few minutes if you accidentally order something more. read more

This place was great! The Gran Molcajete for 2 was amazing. So big that it will be a meal for 2 at least twice with all the great leftovers. It included perfectly cooked steak, chicken, two kinds of shrimp, sausage, nopolo, cheese, and probably more that I can't remember all grilled to perfection and served in a sizzling caldron with a delicious slightly spicy sauce. Service was helpful and friendly. Our waiter told us that her mom is the cook. Well, her mom is an incredible cook! Great family run place! Delicious salsa too. We're looking forward to trying the birria next time we're there- and there will definitely be a next time real soon. read more

First off, the food is rich in flavor and is of good quality. This time around I ordered the chicken fajitas-- a staple for me-- and the vegetables were so fresh and the chicken was abundant (it ends up being too much food, which is nice because I get to save it for lunch the day after). I love Mexican food and have been to many places, and no place has quality meat like this place does. My only gripe is that the beans have changed and are a little watery now. I'll probably be getting black beans instead of the standard refried beans moving forward, but they still have decent flavor regardless! The service is quick and the staff is attentive. The restaurant is well kept, decorated, and clean-- though not as streamlined or chain-centric as other Mexican restaurants (more of a ma and pa aesthetic, if you can picture that). Overall, this is my favorite Mexican restaurant-- and for all you steak lovers out there, I recommend ordering the carne asada y diablo, or any steak dish for that matter. Their steaks aren't some flat flank-cut as tough as a letter boot, they're juicy, delicious, and quite big too. read more

My husband & I went in Cinco de Mayo- we waited for 25 minutes and no one came to our table. But they continued to seat me Comers. I finally had to get up and find someone to take our order. It was not overly busy! Our food was cold & meat was over done and tasted as if it was the left overs from day before. Service was CRAP & food was garbage! WE will not be back! read more

Great restaurant! The food was so delicious like a homemade food. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Seattle area. Highly recommend. Don't order two Margaritas, one is enough . read more

For a Saturday night and all the good reviews I expected this place to be busier. There were only a few people in there. The service was inattentive. For a $5 coke it should never be empty. The food had great reviews but we were left with what tasted like store bought tortillas, dry rice and watery beans. Mediocre at best. However the meat, both the Al pastor and the Carne Asada, were very good. If for some reason I were to find myself here again I would get a meat plate as that was by far the best thing we tried. read more

Great food great prices lunch specials are amazing. My office orders almost weekly. The only thing I would say is when you get delivery from them, they don't give you many chips at all. I mean if you were in this restaurant you would get unlimited so I'm not sure why for six meals they gave us a tiny tiny bag of chips, even though I asked for chips with every order. read more

We have only been one time so it could be different than this one time. My carne asada was fantastic! The chips and salsa and service were good. Unfortunately, the rest of our party of 6 didn't like their food. I'm glad that I asked the server what was popular here. read more

To be honest, the venue is really cool on the inside, but the outside is just ok. Could definitely need a face lift. The servers are awesome, super friendly and nice. This place probably has the best Queso Birria's I have ever had. They are cooked to perfection and the consume sauce is outstanding. The rice and beans are exceptional as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was ok. It took literally almost half an hour to get our food. There was only 2 other patrons.

La Ruleta is easily one of my favorite spots in Everett. Their Molcajete is absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, sizzling hot, and perfect for sharing. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere feels warm and authentic. Highly recommend if you're craving real Mexican food done right! read more

Very nice family feel, excellent menu choices, high quality food and delicious! It's worth a trip, even if you're not local. Super cute decor, friendly service. Love the vibe here. I don't live in Everett but I'll be back and worth the 45 minute drive! Plenty for carnivores and vegans alike. I ordered carne asada medium rare, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Came with side of rice and beans, grilled green onions, and small bag of chips with delicious homemade salsa! Oh and choose the homemade soft corn tortilla .. yumm!! read more

If there ever was a place where "Looks can be deceiving," this most certainly is near the top of the list. When we arrived the parking lot was dimly lit and a giant Thai restaurant sign hung above La Ruleta. We could hardly see the smaller banner on the restaurants exterior. The place has bars on the windows and a barred door to cover the entrance/exit at closing. Inside is your standard booths and tables where each has one small little decorative ornament hung appropriately with a thumbtack. Ours had a little heart. Although the specials all sounded amazing my fiancè and air ordered a small taco plate with one taco, rice and beans and the enchiladas a La crema. My taco was completely loaded with deliciously cooked Al pastor. The avocado sauce that came on my fiancès enchiladas was worthy of licking the plate. Peculiarly, my spicy margarita came in a little clay pot. Yes, a real clay pot. It was actually very charming. Not only was the food amazing but our server was wonderful. 10/10. Highly recommend! read more

I originally was looking for a breakfast burrito, but found this place up on north Broadway that I found on Google.The place was empty at around 10am on Monday, but I was greeted and seated within seconds. I ended up ordering a breakfast scramble (I believe it was the Everett scrambke) consulting if eggs, ham, onions, cheese, and mushrooms with hash brows and wheat toast. Healthy portions and pretty delicious too. Friendly, unobtrusive service. Fresh and filling. Happy belly! I'll be back to try ither dishes soon! read more

Overall, it was good. The service was attentive and friendly. The enchiladas verde ala crema was a little bland, but I remedied that with a little of the provided Chile habenero hot sauce.

The free chips and salsa were cool and the chips were warm when we received them. We will be back... read more

Ok people I went back with my son for another taco Tuesday and this time the chips and fresh salsa went just as fast. Last time I had carnitas and this time I went with the carne asada (steak)street tacos. Same as last time the service was great and surrounding were just what you would expect from a Mexican cantina style eatery.They had sports on the TV music playing and not to loud so we could enjoy our meal and conversation.The steak tacos came with lime wedges, radishes and sauce on the side. Sorry folks my appetite got the best of me but my intention was to take a pic. I promise next week when I go for the chicken tacos I will take one. That being said I highly recommend this hidden gem my son and I have discovered for a great meal in our hometown of everett. read more

Don't sleep on it. The food here is killer, service is good. New favorite lunch spot in the area.

This is a low frill place. The service team was nice, but slow. It took a long time to get chips and salsa and longer to get drinks. The food was good. The salsa had nice flavors and had a little kick. The chips seemed on the stale side. I had an enchiladas verde a la creama for my meal. The chicken was dry. The sauce was tasty. The rice and beans tasted good. read more
