Great food & ambiance, could not be more pleased with Mariposa. The people working there are pleasant are extremely accommodating and the seating outside is pleasant and welcoming. You won't go wrong with Mariposa Taqueria!! read more

Mariposa is quirky as is befitting for Edison, WA; Tacos are imaginative, Garden eating is inviting but frankly the price tag is heavy. We paid $50 for 2plates of duck tacos, with rice ( no beans), and that's not including the gratuity. When does value come into the equation? These are tacos!!! Street food, albeit these have some panache - but $25 for the plate if 2 with rice!!! C'mon, rethink this. read more

Delicious! Despite having lived here for over three years, this was my first visit. I love Mexican food and I love breakfast, so I came here for the perfect combination. I got the steak and eggs (Comalito, I think it is on the menu) and a cappuccino. Service was super friendly and the food came out quickly. The cappuccino was very tasty. The Comalito was delicious and authentic, with the right amount of spice. The restaurant is really neat inside, with beautiful traditional decorations, neat lighting and a variety of rustic materials that really suit the location (Edison). If you're visit in the winter, be advised that it can be chilly in the dining room. If you're there in the summer, there is plenty of outdoor seating to soak up the sun. read more

The flavor combinations are terrific. Always plenty of food. Limited seating on cold or rainy days.

Great food and ingredients. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely come back

Food was great. Had 2 carne Asada tacos which tasted delicious. My other half had carnita tacos 2 of the but she said they tasted bland. There isn't much inside seating. Just 2 long tables. Price was a little shocking 25 dollars for 2 tacos so total was 54 for 4 tacos and one soda. Now the tortillas were hand made and these arent street tacos. Overall good tasting food nice little place to enjoy. read more

Ate here about 3 years ago and remember it being just fine. Considered going back again but serious sticker shock! Seriously, $15 - $16 for 2 chicken tacos?? There are a hundred really good taco shops and trucks between Bellingham and Everett where you can get 3 delicious authentic tacos for $6 - $9 dollars. Much friendlier service, too! Skip this place. read more

This is hands down the best Mexican food in the area and one of my all time favorite restaurants over all. The location and restaurant are fun, the people are great and the food is outstanding. I've been eating Mexican food since I was a child in New Mexico back in the 1960s and these guys have taken the traditions, made them their own and excelled at what they do. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Mariposa Taqueria - Comalito - Mexican Near Me - Bow, Washington

Great steak, just great food all around. Unique dishes. Great atmosphere. Not as busy as it should be for how good the food is.

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 read more

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. read more

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.

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 .

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.

I really enjoyed my lunch here. Very simple but cool vibe to the place and an open kitchen so you can see the chefs do there thing. The birria tacos were very good and a bit more elevated than the typical gut bomb these can be. The consommé for dipping was really delicious and I loved that they were served with a perfectly ripe 1/2 avacado. My wife got something that was essentially puréed potatoes and cheese that she made little tacos with that was quite yummy. read more

I absolutely love Mariposa! If you want a trendy swanky upscale place, this isn't for you. If you want great food, and service from staff who remember your name and you haven't been there in months, this is your place. They started serving breakfast recently and I can say the Chilaquilles is a must, the best I have ever had. No one left hungry after our lunch today read more

This spot has been on my Taco Radar for awhile now, so when we found ourselves in the Skagit Valley for some tulip-watching we took the scenic route home and stopped in Edison for lunch. There were many tempting offerings on the menu-of-the-day, but I opted for a green chile pork taco while the dude chose the carne asada. We also ordered a side of rice 'n beans, then grabbed a couple of seats outside and waited impatiently while the smells of yummy, meaty goodness wafted out from inside Mariposa's tiny kitchen. Soon, our plates of tasty deliciousness arrived. My first thought was, these are HUGE! These are NOT your usual taco - they are really more like an unwrapped burrito. One was more than filling. My chile verde taco was full of HUGE chunks of pork so soft and succulent I imagined it had spend many, many hours simmering in some heavenly combination of spices until it was fall-of-the-fork tender. The hubby's carne asada was no slouch, either. It was freshly grilled and perfectly spiced, and served with a healthy topping of quite possibly the ripest avocado ever seen in Skagit County. The rice and beans looked quite plain, but were magically delicious. This was not a cheap meal - $23 and we didn't order beverages - and while I might normally have balked at the cost I can't complain here. This is a case of getting what you pay for, and in this case we got fresh, local, wonderful food that will surely cause us to take future detours to Edison for taco goodness. read more

I don't know why I waited so long to go here. I always heard that it was good. I love how it is so small and intimate inside. I really feel like I walked into someone's home kitchen and sat at their table. The food was amazing and filling. I could see sitting outside ( not on a rainy, windy day) and just enjoying filling my belly. read more

Yum yum yum The food at this hole in the wall small town was delish! The menu consists of about 10 monster sized "tacos" but they aren't like pick up and eat tacos cause they are just too big. instead you eat with a fork and pick some of the tortilla up and eat with your hands but make sure you have napkins! Different and totally delicious! I wish I could have tried them all but we were only passing through. I had the carne asada and the hubs had a veggie version. We both loved them. read more

The atmosphere is wonderful with lots of character. The food is delicious and the service excellent.

Great food, fun atmosphere and beautiful rustic aesthetic! Loved eating outside! A little long of a wait, but so worth it! Perfect lunch stop after visiting the tulip fields in La Conner! A little more pricey than your average taco, but well worth it! Also, as of now they are only open on weekends. read more

Mariposa Taqueria - Pollo Taco, outside seating - Mexican Near Me - Bow, Washington

adorable taqueria with great food options, indoor and outdoor seating, lovely, authentic folk art adorning the interior and very casual vibe! we managed to walk in before a throng of people on a weekend so lucked out in terms of choice of where to sit. the tacos we chose were very tasty and definitely filling, especially if you, like us, had stopped into a local bakery and had something to nibble on as you were driving the rural roads or walking down the main commercial area of edison. in short, mariposa was satisfying and a place of probably drive out of my way to come back to if i'm in the area again. read more

We moved to this area about two years ago. Since then Every visitor gets taken to Mariposa and every visitor requests Mariposa their next visit. Yes, the food is THAT good! There is minimal indoor seating but we prefer to eat outside or bring it home anyway. The staff is friendly and extremely competent! Just say YES read more

Hip place that was definitely poppin! The tacos here are pricier (~$10) but they are huge, I recommend trying to finish one before you order more; 1 fills you up pretty darn good. The presentation was great; pops of vibrant color that make each taco stand out. I ordered the Carne asada and I felt it was pretty standard, had the char but not enough "oomph" to make the journey for more. However I feel i did not do them justice; I really should have also tried the Oaxaca or fish tacos as they seem to be the main star of the show!! Overall great ambiance, and pretty fun/different for kids, a large menu, and nice local place to enjoy a meal made with care. I would stop by for those other tacos if I'm on another journey north. read more

Crazy good food and very nice staff. Had an amazingly fresh plate of veggie tacos, left very satisfied !

This is some of the most fun and amazing Mexican food I've had, and it keeps me coming back to my home town. It is one of the many must-stops when near Edison. The menu is small to ensure everything is made with care. The outdoor seating is about as kitschy and fun as you can get. It's perfect for a summer afternoon picnic. read more

Mariposa Taqueria - Carne Asada Taco - Mexican Near Me - Bow, Washington

My husband and I found ourselves in Edison today by happenstance (too chilly for canoeing; too many crowds near the tulips; we went exploring instead) - and I have just had THE BEST MEXICAN MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD (outside of Tucson's finest cuisine. Seriously, if you know Cafe Poca Cosa, this little place is every bit as good!). The marinated rockfish Gordita is a revelation in every bite (papaya! Black beans! Sweet corn! Masa cake! Crema!) And the abodaba tacos feature tender pork rubbed with a deep savory spice blend balanced by sweet pickled onion. Washed down with horchata. Such a delectable surprise to find this little place! I predict we will make road trips in the future just to eat here again. read more
