Asada torta with corn, olive, onions, cilantro, beans, and rice.
Jeremy D.

How have I missed this restaurant in my eatery portfolio? They checks all the boxes, fast, friendly, clean, fabulous food, filling, and great prices! The horchata was on point! The atmosphere in the restaurant is super comfortable and family friendly. Today, there were two workers taking orders and running the grill, they were awesome! A major boost on first impressions, such great people!

Birria tacos with consume
Lorena G.

IM MEXICAN AND THIS PLACE IS CRAZY AUTHENTIC !!!! First off the birria tacos had the best best flavor ever!! I dipped the taco in the consume soooooo delicious!! If I'm ever back in Washington you know I'll be there for the tacos!!! The horchata wasn't too sweet at all but still had the cinnamon flavor to it! I really enjoyed that! The staff was attentive and very friendly as I ordered. Side note: They also have restrooms! I was about to pee my pants assuming they didn't have any!! Very nice and clean

Quesadilla

Soo much delicious food! We loved it here. Fresh ingredients, fast and friendly service. We couldn't finish our food. Glad we gave it a try.

Nino bowl - Very good
Ivan O.

7 Jan 2021 When visiting the self-proclaimed Palm Springs of WA, it can be difficult to find good eats. Nino's stakes claim as the better, locally-owned Chipotle alternative. By the numbers: Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance NA (covid) Value 4/5 Nino bowl - Very good. Basically a hefty burrito bowl. It'll fill you up. I got 50/50 adovado pork and barbacoa with avo (which is INCLUDED in the price - get a clue Chipotle!). The adovado was delicious.

Not from this area. Saw reviews on Yelp and decided to give this place a try. Came here Saturday evening. Line was pretty long -it wasn't out of the door yet but almost. We waited about 30 minutes to even be able to place our order. Tried the tacos, carne Asada plate, nino bowls. Food was bland, flavorless, medium salsa tasted like tomato paste. I will say staff was friendly, and they serve handmade tortillas. Other than that -not worth the hype.

Birria tacos and rice and beans
Megan G.

We stopped here on the way home from a weekend away. We all got the birria tacos and they were fantastic! Some of the best I have ever had. The rice and beans were great as well. The line was quick to get through and the staff was friendly. Would definitely stop by here on my way home again!

The place is sparkling clean. The food is great too. Friendly service. Reasonable price. A little off the freeway though. I would come back.

Homemade tortillas!

What a great find! I cannot express how welcoming Brian was when I entered. Having never been there before, he recommended (everything!) on the menu and made our enchiladas and super burrito with everything we liked! He even made us a special delicious taco just to try and gave us some tasty broth and sweet milk to sample. Our meals were delish, with huge portions! We will be back next time through town!! Thanks Brian!

Barilla tacos
Matt H.

Ninos is now out must go to spot while driving from Seattle to Bend, going through Yakima WA! Best tortillas I've had outside of being in Mexico, made to order in front of you each time. They're HUGE too, so "Monster Burrito" lives up to its name for sure! I'd had tacos barilla yesterday, and the broth was delicious! Chips n salsa only okay, as the major focus is clearly on the main event lol. Very friendly staff, bathrooms down the hall, and a joined spot for PHO with folks dining and seated in the same general area, for those looking for maybe a different option. After having had lunch at Ninos and back on the road, all my wife kept talking about was how delicious lunch was at Ninos! It's super great!

Birria tacos with jus

I've wanted to try birria tacos for quite a while & finally decided today was the day. Nino's got great reviews so that's where I went. Damn!!! Other places are going to have a difficult time compared to these!! Fresh made, delicious....served with sliced radishes & lime wedges (and a hot sauce that I kept the lid on...delicious but hotter than my palate could properly appreciate). I literally drank the remaining jus that I had dipped all 3 tacos in. I got the lemonade to go with it...not too tart, not too sweet. You absolutely need to go to Nino's & have the birria tacos!

We drove from Tacoma to Spokane and willingly added about 75 miles to the trip just to stop in…read moreUnion Gap for Los Hernandez. That should tell you something right there. This isn't some trendy stop or overhyped roadside thing. It's just really, really good food made by people who clearly care about what they're doing. We ordered the lunch plates and ended up sitting next to Mr. Hernandez himself. We got to hear about how he started the place because he genuinely loved working with masa, and how that slowly turned into winning a James Beard America's Classics award. Nothing flashy about it -- just years of doing it right. Knowing that story while eating the food made it feel even more special. The rice was fluffy and deeply seasoned -- not an afterthought. The homemade pinto beans were tender but still held their shape, topped with pico that added exactly the right acidity and freshness to balance the plate. Then the tamales -- jalapeño & cheese and pork. He spoke highly of the masa, and you could immediately tell why. The texture was spot on: moist but structured, never dense. The filling-to-masa ratio was right where it should be. Every bite felt balanced. The salsas were bright and flavorful, but they enhanced rather than covered anything up. You didn't need to smother the tamales -- they stood on their own. The place itself is humble and unpretentious. Floral tablecloths, paper plates, simple seating. Exactly how it should be. You're there for the food and the people behind it. They sell fresh and frozen tamales at a few other locations too, which is honestly dangerous information to have. Absolutely worth the detour. Five stars without hesitation.

We always have to stop here when in town. Too late for the asparagus Tamales, but the pork,…read morechicken, and jalapeño & cheese tamales are just as good! We stopped in for a quick lunch break then armed to 2 dozen frozen tamales to bring home. Service is always quick. I love this place!

Came on a lovely late spring day. We had our dog with us and they let us sit on the patio, which…read morewas nice. They even brought out an umbrella to keep us a bit shaded from the sun. They brought out refreshing cups of water, chips and 6 types of salsa, while we reviewed the menu. The "chips" are actually whole corn tortillas fried! So you use them whole or break them into chips yourself. My guess on the salsas are: salsa verde (tomatillo), avocado, pico de gallo, a smoky ancho, a citrusy habanero, and something else. They all had distinct flavors and a little light spice, but we wanted spicier. They brought out the "no way Jose" sauce and warned us it's their spiciest and it sneaks up on ya! We tried it and found it was not burning but quite nice. We drizzled this sauce all over our food. It was the most flavorful of the bunch. The menu is quite extensive, with everything from sopas to sopes, tortas to tacos, cocktails to desserts. We each got a plate of food, meaning the main entree comes with Mexican red rice and refried beans. I got the sopita (aka sope) with barbacoa and a fish taco and husband got a dipped torta (I forget the name) filled with adobada. The amount of food and meat was quite generous, the toppings (veggies) too. I really enjoyed my sope - it had the perfect crispy crust and I could taste the slightly sweet creamy taste of the masa. The barbacoa was not as flavorful as I thought it would be. It was more like stewed beef meat. It was fine but I was expecting really deep flavor. The fish taco seemed freshly grilled and was moist, but there was a bit of a "fishy" smell and flavor that kind of took over. Thankfully, the generous veggie toppings and fresh handmade corn tortilla and salsas helped mask the flavor. Have to hand it to them that those tortillas are really good! The Mexican rice was perfect. I haven't had that flavor and texture in Mexican rice in a while and thought that was well done. The refried beans were good but also had a flavor I couldn't place my finger on... My husband said everything was really good on his plate. His torta was massive! Really flavorful and stacked with things. The adobada was very tasty. I wish I ordered that meat instead of the barbacoa and fish. Overall pretty good Mexican food, generous portions, really sweet service. The interior is also really clean and nicely decorated. They have a small parking lot out back.
