    Rancheros
    Stacy W.

    Small menu, executed well! I stopped here to get some lunch Anne they didn't disappoint. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. It's eclectic and casual. You strider and they bring it to your table. I loved the rancheros and want to try more!

    I LOVE MARIPOSA TAQUERIA. Nothing more to say, the food is slightly expensive but the quality is great.

    A tasty take on Mole Zacatecas style-- light, without the chocolate in quite unique and delicious!

    This place updates the menu often and also maintains some of their best dishes throughout the year. My wife and I love this place. The flavors are as authentic as you can get in the US. Stuff is cooked to perfection and the staff is friendly and attentive. Tweets next door is awesome and more of comfort food while Mariposa focuses on amazing breakfast, lunch, dinner Mexican food!

    Comalito

    If I could give this restaurant 8 stars I would! They have a very impressive looking menu which gave me several dilemmas. In the end I chose the Comalito, which would put me in a food comalito if I ordered a second plate. Steak, potatoes, peppers and pico de gallo under a pair or fried eggs and served on a piping hot iron plate. But I got the feeling that anything would have been as good.. friends of mine make it a pit stop on the road to Seattle. Bravo to Sarah! Seating indoors is on two long tables with a floral motif. Lots of tables in the gardens outside for good weather days too.

    Stopped here for lunch and had breakfast. Huevos Mariposa and it was so delicious. Lots of flavors bursting in my mouth and different choices of host sauce. The service is fabulous and the day was beautiful so sitting outside is spot on! Highly recommend this place! The town it is quaint - parking is hard to come by so plan ahead.

    Great service and delicious food! We ordered the tacos that were build it yourself style. I didn't quite care for the pork belly style carnitas, but that's a personal preference.

    Lost some appeal, for us anyway. Came in last Saturday. It was a nice day. We ended up getting a late start to our trek up Chuckanut Drive, so we drove straight there (hour and a half). We enjoyed our previous visit to Mariposa Taqueria and didn't want to show up right at closing time. Got there at 2:30 PM, there was a line, and it seemed quite busy. They had tables, some picnic, some metal, scattered around a couple of areas for people to eat. Unfortunately, way less tables than people on a semi-sunny Saturday afternoon. Tacos for two and a side of rice and beans came to over $40. Wasn't really concerned about the price, but it does seem for that price range the accommodations might have been a bit less crude, and the staff, a bit more friendly. Dirty tables scattered around a bumpy, muddy lawn, with people hovering about hoping for a place to sit, seemed more reminiscent of a homeless food kitchen than a gourmet taco joint. I noticed with surprise they removed the menu and put up the closed sign at exactly 10 minutes to 3 PM. Interesting because Google said they were open until 3. A guy came up and asked if he could still possibly get an order. After checking it was just for two people, a rather unfriendly girl made it clear she was doing him a favor, shoved a chalkboard in his face and said "this is our menu". He ordered the same thing we had. Pork and chicken tacos and a side of rice and beans. The food itself was very good. However, anything served in cardboard boxes and eaten with plastic utensils will leave a bit to be desired. Two soggy, corn tortillas at the bottom of a pile of really yummy food can't seriously be considered a taco. Trying to eat seasoned meat and toppings, out of boxes, with plastic forks, on a wobbly table, sitting on wobbly metal chairs isn't, exactly optimal or even enjoyable. Obviously, whoever owns this place, doesn't visit often, or possibly at all. Seems a classic case of a good thing gone bad. And you can't blame the pandemic on this one. Seriously would take 5 minutes to look around to see the problems. Obviously, nobody who works there regularly, gives a crap about customers. Maybe, given the price, they could serve the food in a bowl, and give you a side of tortillas so you could put something together that actually resembles a taco? Maybe, they could even level an area of their "yard" spread some gravel and invest in some actual picnic tables? I doubt this will happen, and I doubt many will complain (the food is actually quite good) but I also doubt we will be back. YMMV

    Mentirosa taco ($8): Lots of veggies, chorizo, and mango slices.
    Masanori D.

    As I was expecting "street tacos," I was surprised how big their tacos were. Each taco is like a meal. In fact, there's so much stuff on the tortilla that you can't pick it up with your hands to eat it. Most tacos here are from $8 to $10, but they are worth the price. Kimchi Taco ($10): I ordered the kimchi taco. It came with a very generous amount of meat on top of kimchi and guacamole. The meat was very well marinated and tender. It had a nice Korean flavor reminiscent of Korean BBQ. The kimchi was also of good quality. Mentirosa Taco ($8): My 11 year-old son ordered the mentirosa taco as it was the least spicy option today. It came with lot of veggies, like zucchini and red peppers, as well as chorizo. There were some slices of mango. I didn't find it hot, but it was (black) peppery, which was a bit too spicy for my son. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. It seems their menu changes often, but I would order the kimchi taco again if it's available next time. Tips: - There are only two communal tables inside, but there are several tables outside when the weather is good. - For someone like me (mid 40s), I thought one taco was just the right amount. I could imagine a teenager eating two tacos here, but I think two would be a bit too much for any one adult. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

    I had the pozole and i have to admit it was delicious!!! I put a lot of hot sauce in it with lemon thats how i eat it made it 10x better !, my opinion. It also came with a side of hand made gorditas?, delicious crispy and corn flavored like tortillas but better! I gave my plate a 5star! We also tried the barbacoa taco it had mando slices on side definitelyan interesting take on tacos but very delicious and when you take a bite of it all together it just makes sense , anyway we also had some candy thed had the polvoron i had was great it had pecans in it jjust delicious did not share one bit lol . Beautiful place ! The virgen de guadalupe looks amazing ! N everything looks so authentic! Love it!

    My brother loves these tacos.
    Sara Y.

    I can't recommend this place more highly. Fresh and delicious EVERYTHING. Their breakfast burritos (with meat, because I am meat forward), are simple yet really quite amazing. Tacos, wow. Today I had a pineapple and cucumber drink that would have knocked my socks right off if I had worn any!!!

    Best tacos ever!

    Every time I go to Mestizo I ask myself why it was so long ago. The food is tasty, the portions are…read morehuge, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They also make very good margaritas. The dining areas are big, and when the restaurant is busy, it can get a bit noisy. But even then I think the food and service makes it worth it.

    Saw a tiktok reporting that this place had soft serve margaritas and found myself there the next…read moreday. Interesting- there is NO marketing at all in person for these. They are not on the menu nor are they advertised in any way. We asked when we got in and they said they had two available. Nobody else there was drinking them. This was odd to me since they are so viral online this week! The soft serve margs were EVERYTHING to me. Soft, creamy, flavorful, oh my god. A margarita with the texture of soft serve ice cream. Fantastic. A dream. We were scooping them up like ice cream until we remembered that they had alcohol and that we should slow down. The strawberry one has dairy and some nuts/marzipan. It was more girly and creamy. The mango one tasted exactly like a mango margarita but with the texture of soft serve. The food was good. My friend got carne asada and it was a really big portion- came with bacon wrapped shrimp and chicken as well! I got the nachos with no meat and they were good. The refried beans reallllly tasted like lard. Like liquid. I tried to avoid them. The bathroom was DISGUSTING. Worst bathroom I have been in IN MY LIFE. The women's toilet had NO SEAT. What the hell. And there was zero toilet paper and garbage everywhere. Plus the door gets stuck easily so you can get locked in. Truly a nightmare. Go for soft serve margaritas, chips, and salsa. Use the bathroom before you go. The soft serve margs will honestly keep me coming back despite the rest.
