Not a bad place to go if you're looking for a quick bite. Food is good but the top shelf margaritas were syrupy and wasn't impressed. You have to pay extra for (extra) chips and salsa. 3% max increase if you pay with card. They don't offer any hot sauce. No bar OR bar tables or TVs and the music is barely on so you have to whisper if the room is quiet. Idk, not really our thing. I prefer more authentic rustic style. All up to you read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. I've been to many of the different Mexican restaurants in Washington and Union and Pulque is by far my favorite. The steak and mushrooms entree I had last time was delicious with perfectly seasoned rice and refried beans on the side. Their tacos are great also. The service is fast and friendly as well. I look forward to trying more of the menu in the future and trying one of the great margaritas people have told me about. read more

Do yourself a favor and ditch the blan Missouri food, and come get some real flavorful food at this spot. I was about to give up hope on Missouri then I fou d this spot and let me tell you I will gladly return to this state just to eat hear ! read more

Food here is really good. I especially recommend the carnitas tacos. And the charro beans that come with it are excellent.

Great first time experience. Staff server was great, very friendly and big smile which always goes for a great dinner! The food was plentiful and had good taste. I like a more authentic Mexican food less Americanized if that makes sense. If I wanted American food I would go get a burger not Fried Palanto peppers. read more

Typical step above fast food Mexican restaurant, noisy and food was nothing special. Greeted by a bus boy/ servers helper who had a great attitude, got our drinks and chips and kept up with us better that our waitress. Always start a Mexican food review with the salsa, regular was ok and the hot was nothing special. Had the three enchilada plate with rice and beans. Beef was pretty tasteless, cheese sauce of the chicken was real light, possibly watered, though the meat was good. Salsa verde was a bit on the strong side though again the pork was good. Bad thing was these were plated cool at best, wonder how long they sat back there. Rice and beans were the best part, rice was above average!!! Overall I probably won't be going back unless I am just tired and worn out at the end of the day, it is very close to my usual hotel. read more

The food is not fresh, has no spice or Mexican flavor, frozen vegatables, and it took two hours just to get this bland food

Excellent food, service, and Staff! This was the best Mexican Restaurant I've eaten at in a long time. Chips and Salsa were served as soon as we sat down and they were home-made, fresh and tasty. My Fajitas plate was delicious and had just the right amount of green peppers and onions. Ricardo, our Waiter was friendly and always there when we needed him, he really made our night. The Decor was vibrant, enjoyable to look at, and very clean. You can't beat the prices either. We'll be back and highly recommend Pulque! read more

This food was NOT GOOD! I ordered the Faja Taco Salad and was extremely disappointed at what I got. What was described in the menu as a "salad" in a taco shell was more of a thin based soup with vegetables and meat. There was shredded lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole on the plate as a small side. The flavor of the "salad" itself was off in some way. At first I thought I read the menu description wrong, but when I re-read it I realized that it was just wrong. The one thing that was right was that there was a taco shell, but the seasoning and flavors of this so called salad (soup) was not good and I was unable to eat it! The waitress was surprised when I told her to take my plate away but I told her that I didn't like it and it wasn't what I expected so she took it. There was no offer to remove it from the bill but I let it go and chalked it up as a lesson learned. I may not always love what I order but I normally can at least eat it...this was that bad! NOTE: I was with 2 others who did enjoy their food so I guess not everything is bad. As for me...I have no plans of eating there again...ever! I also think the booth dividers with kiddie scribbles written all over them made the dining room appear tacky. The boards are a good idea for children but really need to be cleaned off after each diner. read more

One of the nicest Mexican meals I have in quite a while! Great service and the food was delicious! The Fajita Texana was delicious, chicken, beef and shrimp cooked perfectly, a nice amount of onions & peppers, not overpowering the meal. Sides were also excellent! So often Mexican restaurants serve OK food, this was superb! Looking forward to the next meal. read more

Visited for lunch on June 25, 2021 at 12:30PM. The menu is a full 5 pages long. The variety is amazing which is good and bad. It's good because there is literally something for everyone. It's bad because making a choice is very difficult. We were seated immediately on arrival and drink orders were taken then. Menus arrived a minute later. The place is clearly family friendly and brightly lighted during the day. I ordered the enchiladas Mexicanas and my friend ordered a steak platter. Chips, salsa and drinks came very quickly. My Chardonnay was a generous pour and a good house wine. The glorious odor of beef fajitas emerged from the kitchen so I thought the server was going to another table but, no! She brought that sizzling dish to our table and placed it in front of my friend. The steak was prepared just like beef fajitas. She got a side plate with rice, frijoles and salad. I thought the steak may have been overdone but she told me it was perfect. My enchiladas were excellent. They were very much like those I have eaten at Amigos in Kirkwood. I like this place very much. The service is good, the value is good. I wish I had come ready for dessert, the churros, sopapilla and flan all looked great. Maybe I will come here next time just for a sweet treat! read more

The food is consistently excellent. We've tried a variety of dishes and never been disappointed. And the salsa is our very favorite! The service is always professional, quick, and respectful. Highly recommend. read more

Great Mexican food. Nice service. Prices were quite reasonable. Just off highway so it's easier to get to than others.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new mexican restaurant and we found this gem in Washington, MO. By far the best mexican food we've had to date! Definitely will be going back because their food is AMAZING! The atmosphere of the restaurant and customer service was excellent. As first time customers, we highly recommend! 10/10 read more

Pulque Mexican Restaurant - Pollo Con Crema and Chef's Special - Mexican Near Me - Washington, Missouri

Wow! So good! The service was wonderful, friendly and quick. The host that sat us was either sitting people or vleaning table and seats, which was great to see! The food was even better - fresh and hot. My husband and I ordered chimichangas, he got the trio and loved all of them. I ordered the shredded beef, so juicy and tender. The chips and salsa were amazing too! read more

I have to so I am impressed with not only the food, but with the price and service. In my opinion this is probably one of the best Mexican restaurants around. We were seated and within 20 minutes of sitting down our food was at our table. I ordered the Pulque Nachos. They we're individual chips with even amounts of chicken and were smothered in cheese - just the way I like it. I requested no beans and they serve them exactly how I ordered them. They were like mini tacos. And they tasted great!! The staff was friendly and attentive but not annoying. While the atmosphere is a little cold it is still a nice place. For the money you can't beat this place. read more

Pulque Mexican Restaurant - 'Salad' from Pulque - Mexican Near Me - Washington, Missouri

My 1st time here was fantastic.... 2nd time was absolutely awful.... I order Deluxe Burrito .... the beef and chicken was awful.... meaning taste was just nasty and was not hot at all meaning heat not spicy... I spoke with 2 other people who went, their 2nd time .... the exact same happened to them the same way.... I will continue to go to my Denmark Rd Mexican place here in Union.... I did mention it to our waiter.... his words were.... " Are you done "! Really!!!!! read more

I thought the food was just ok. Nothing that jumps out as wonderful Mexican Cuisine. Service also wasn't special. Seemed overpriced for the quality of service and food. In one instance I tried takeout, and everything had an overwhelming aluminum flavor. Won't make that mistake again. read more

Our go to for Mexican! Fun and friendly great service, staff, and menu. We have taken friends and family there we try to go about once a week. You got to try it! read more

This was our first time eating at Pulque. We ordered an appetizer to go along with our meal. It came with a very small serving of chips. When we asked for more, they reluctantly gave us another small amount and told us next time we would have to pay extra. If you like strong Mole sauce, you will like the food. Too strong for us. Food overall was mediocre at best. read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant in Missouri. As a vegan, I'm somewhat limited to fajitas. This place has the best veggie burrito. Fresh broccoli, mushrooms, cauliflower, peppers and onions. Topped with a red sauce and served with black beans and rice. I order without the cheese and I'm not missing any flavor at all. It's brilliant. read more

Honestly the best Mexican food I've ever had! Great food, alcohol, service highly recommend! I've had Mexican food all over including Mexico This is definitely my new favorite place! Thank you for the amazing food/service! read more

I I like this place. They have Aguas Frescas, a unique Salsa Picosa which they call Salsa Verde but is dark red. That's a little confusing but very vibrant flavored. There menu is good and a little different from most of the other places. They also have an organic margarita. The only place where this restaurant falls down is the wait staff which appear to be the owners are kind of reserved and unfriendly. I would go in more often if this were not the case. read more

Love this family owned restaurant in Washington! People are very nice and it's usually pretty easy to grab a quick meal. The only bad thing is that sometimes the service is a little slow. It is easy to look past that however, because the food is delicious and the servings are generous. We love it. read more

Pulque Mexican Restaurant - This is after two people ate on this double order. Enough for several meals yumm - Mexican Near Me - Washington, Missouri

I have nothing bad to say about the food itself. Ownership and staff are usually very polite. Tonight? Holy smokes. I ordered a bunch of food to go. Picked it up, got it home, and some stuff was wrong. It's food service, there's a pandemic, stuff happens. No big deal, right? I expected a quick sorting out of what was missing and to run back across town to pick said items up or pay for something I may not have been charged for, whatever. Instead, when I called it was immediate nasty attitude. Way too much back and forth, somehow blaming and correcting me (?) while I'm just standing in my kitchen like... She puts the owner on the phone, who is coincidentally her dad. He flat out verbatim said I was calling his daughter a liar. I ordered a thing and the thing wasn't in my order. Your fault. I ordered something incorrectly because I used the wrong word. My fault. That's all I was trying to convey. I literally wanted sides for the thing I ordered wrong and the thing I did order that wasn't included. That's how simple this could have been. In the end, after 30 minutes of being talked over and corrected and accused and generally berated, he did issue a refund. His food sits in my trash based on principle, and Ernesto's got the business he could have had with even the slightest modicum of tact. I hate every bit of this. I hate complaining, I hate confrontation, I hate leaving bad reviews; ESPECIALLY when it's a small business, but this was completely unacceptable. Understand not only that it costs money to make and serve food, but also that your customers place value on their time and energy. read more

Great food and good service! Top-notch salsa & queso. The staff wears masks and there are barriers in between tables. They also have outdoor seating with umbrellas, which makes for a great outdoor dining experience. read more

Worst restaurant in town. Servers are rude, dinners for the same table are not served at the same time. Servers disappear. The food is dry and has no flavor. Do not waste your money, its a joke read more
