Strawberry margarita
Jesse G.

The place means "The Pines" in Spanish, and the decor has a great combo of what you would expect from a family Mexican restaurant mixed with some NW flair. The booths had Mt. Rainier and some trees etched into their backs, which was pretty cool. Service was friendly and straightforward, as was the food. Free chips and salsa, and we split an order of chicken taquitos which was hearty and affordable. We also had strawberry margaritas - I would probably order a different drink next time as it was a bit sweet for me, but it was certainly drinkable. Will definitely stop by again!

Chips and Salsa
Michael A.

Decided to drop by just to eat some Nachos as an appetizer after going on a 7-mile bike ride! Arrived at 1:30 PM and got seated right away. Had to wait about 10 minutes before the waitress came to order. Seemed like she was the only one serving all of the tables, so it was understandable. Our Super Nachos with Ground Beef came out in a very timely manner. Tasted really good, too! Had a nice crunch, guacamole was tasty, beef was cooked well, sour cream was on point and jalapeños gave a spicy kick to the nachos. Liked it very much! This review is solely based on the Nachos we ordered as an appetizer...

Chips and  salsa!
Christopher B.

Huge portions; as they should be. The shredded chicken was soft, ground beef was ground, not soupy like some restaurant will make their ground beef. The shredded beef was also tender, these three meats were perfectly prepared. Beans and rice the staple sides were included and also nicely paired with the main course. Chimi, enchilada and tacos(hard shell)

Yasssss they got Pacifico Clara, Dos Equis Ámbar and Negro Modelo on DRAFT!!!
Mo G.

Great service, tasty food and awesome pricing! It was a total $73 and after tip of around 38%, it was still under $100! Can't beat this!! Still eating my leftover beef fajitas and still tasting sooooo goood!! Ceviche is a must-order appetizer to get!! So tasty and refreshing w/ Flat tortilla chips to go with it. Pacifico Clara (ran out during our visit), Negro Modelo and Dos Equis Ámbar on draft were an added bonus! The only reason why I only have it 4 instead of 5 stars is because I was stared it so bad by other customers/locals in the Orting area that it made me feel a bit h comfortable ... I came from Iowa and never got stared at that bad before lol... like they've never seen a SE Asian female before lol! But all good tho, I can hold my own and will definitely be back to grub at this place.

How is the brunch here?

I enjoy the brunch due to the variety, being at a Mexican restaurant provides traditional tacos, rice, beans, chips, salsa. As well as eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, potatoes. Don't forget the bloody Mary's.

While in-line…read morethere was a couple ahead of me with a small puppy and I asked them if it was a service animal and their reply was no. I knew that the dog was a puppy so they didn't meet the service dog requirements. I then asked them if they would take them outside as they aren't allowed in food establishments and they were compliant without any disgruntled attitudes. After getting my order I asked to speak to the manager and a gentleman came over and identified himself as the General Manager. I explained the situation with the couple and their dog (puppy) and I told him that I asked them if they knew it's against the law to have animals in a food establishment unless it was a service animal and I asked them to take the animal outside. I suggested that they train the staff to address this situation so customers didn't have to. He than stated that they aren't allowed to ask any questions regarding an animal inside their food establishment. I feel that the General Manager, was indicating that he was knowledgeable about animals in food establishments and that he too had a service animal himself and that the establishment didn't have an obligation to protect customers from animals that are not service animals. As a General Manager he should have known the information that's below and should've addressed the issue instead of a customer. As stated before I'm a frequent customer and as of this evening I will no longer be a customer due to the way the General Manager dismissed my concerns of non service animals in their food establishment. Are animals allowed in food establishments : Generally, live animals are prohibited inside food establishments by health codes, with specific exceptions for trained service animals. General Rules for Pets and Animals * Pets Prohibited: Health codes (such as the FDA Food Code and state rules like Washington's WAC 246-215-06570) ban regular pets from indoor areas where food is sold, served, or prepared to prevent contamination. * Emotional Support Animals (ESAs): ESAs do not have public access rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and are not allowed inside food establishments. * Allowed Exceptions: Aquarium fish in display tanks, patrol dogs, and stored fish bait are typically permitted under strict sanitary guidelines. Service Animal Rules * Federal Protection: Under the ADA, only trained service dogs (and in some cases, miniature horses) that perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities are allowed in public areas of food establishments. ** Staff Inquiries: Employees cannot ask for medical documentation or special identification, but they are legally allowed to ask two questions: 1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? 2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? *******

Bottom Line Up Front...One star for the cleanliness, easy parking and the thoughtful decor. Steven missed on this one big time. The fact that they didn't have customers when he visited them could have been one of three issues (food quality, poor service, inflated prices). In my case, it was all 3. There were older white folks who saw Steven's article and did mention it to the wait staff. Some of those tables received chips and salsa, most didn't, not sure what goes into their criteria for who gets it and who doesn't. I chitchatted with the wait staff and asked them their specials and what they would want me to tell the Yelpers about them. They wanted me to give the community my honest opinion and said their best sellers are the Quesabirria and ramen (what what?) . Well we decided on neither of those and ordered the $17.95 Chicken Enchilada mole and the $12.90 Chicken Mulitas (each $6.45, staff did not ask if I wanted one or two). To be brutally honest...the Enchiladas were "lean" & dreadful. The mole sauce tasted like mud. The rice and beans was barely palatable (La Preferida from Safeway might have been better!). The Mulitas was ok but not something that I would miss. The red and green salsa from those plastic bottles was salty...as were all of the dishes...saltier... The plates were small, the price tag was hefty, paid extra for mole sauce (this was NOT a side order but something that is supposed to be the core dish sauce), extra for credit card use (3%). Nickel and diming...what next...clean your own table... quarter for restroom use! Of course, none of these upcharges were mentioned or listed anywhere that I could see... Service was just ok...they didn't talk about any specials or drinks...so we didn't order one. And the biggest kicker...no complimentary chips and salsa unlike those other hardworking Mexican joints awaiting your business. There was no hook; all sinker...Somehow, they think of themselves as "Cactus" but lack the basics of competing for your business. I ended up with an upset stomach later that evening. Don't take my word only...read the other reviewers observations in a bit more detail while ignoring the stars and judge for yourself. Sorry if my review sounds too brutal, which I hate to do knowing how hard it is to run a restaurant. I greatly respect the hard working folks in the restaurant industry. I wish they seriously consider their customers' feedback and make some changes for the better.

This is a family owned business and they clearly take a lot of pride in their business. I cannot emphasize enough the warm and reliable customer service they provided. Simply exceptional.

The bacon wrapped jalapeños were the size of a fist and the best I've ever had. I'll come back just to order those again and again. Finally the dish I ordered, Los tres compadres was massive and delicious. I took my leftovers home and got two more meals out of just that one dish! The only reason I'm not giving five stars is their complimentary chips and salsa are not anything to rave over. The chips need more salt and the salsa is very watery. Taste more like a tomato broth than salsa. Just skip these all together and go straight to the appetizers and you won't be disappointed.

I decided to come back today and give the place another chance, and I ended up with Shae as my bartender again. I ordered the exact same drink I always order. Once again, it was made incorrectly. I politely reminded her that I do not want olive juice in my martini. Instead of simply correcting it, she became visibly irritated, started giving me attitude, and was rude toward me. A few minutes later, she accused me of having an issue with her and told me that if that was going to be the case, I could leave. So I did. While I was in the parking lot getting on my motorcycle, two managers approached me and accused me of being rude, specifically bringing up the 3-star review I had left after my previous visit. Being confronted in the parking lot over an honest review was completely inappropriate and only reinforced my opinion of how this place handles customer service and criticism. Last time I gave them 3 stars. After this experience, it is 1 star. I will not be returning.

The bigger one has the heat and the little ones have the flavour. All in all it's pretty basic Mexican food. The rolled tacos were good, they were not greasy the tamales were flakey and not overly seasoned you could taste the hatch chiles in them which was good. Rice and beans were decent. The place was empty when we went in and we stayed for about 30 minutes altogether. That is from order to leaving. I'll be back to check out the taco box especially for that price and update my review. It was good enough to see what else they offer.
