Ramirez Mexican Restaurant & Store is one of those rare places that gets everything right. From the moment you walk in, the service is exceptional--welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind in a way that makes you want to linger. The food is incredible: rich, authentic flavors, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with care. Every bite tastes like someone's abuela is in the kitchen making sure it's done right. And then there's the store--absolutely lovely. Beautifully stocked with incredible pastries that are impossible to resist, vibrant piñatas, and so many thoughtful details that make it feel more like a cultural experience than just a quick stop. You can tell pride and love are poured into every corner of the place. Ramirez isn't just a restaurant or a market--it's a community gem. We'll be back again and again, and I'll happily bring anyone visiting from out of town here first. read more

A flavor explosion! I wanted tripe tacos but they didn't have tripe tacos... So I ordered carnitas tacos instead. My daughter ordered 6 tacos too. And my husband ordered birria tacos. We also shared a delicious bowl of menudo. read more

If the portions matched the prices that would be cool. they charged me 3 dollars for that tiny cup of guac which was 4 bites mind you... and then i asked for chips and salsa like they serve you at the table and they give me those even smaller cups... its almost offensive read more

Ramirez Mexican Store - this was 20 dollars lol - Mexican Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

I stopped here for dinner at the restaurant recently. The service was good. The chips and salsa were delicious. I liked my chile verde burrito. The horchata was not good. Overall, it's a good restaurant to visit for some tasty Mexican food. read more

the birria tacos were served in clumps, it wasn't fresh, the al pastor tacos tasted old and chalky, the refried beans had lemon juice in them. I'm from San Diego and know what good mexican food taste like, this place is gross! read more

Awesome spot! Food and margaritas are always spot on! Service has always been good. They have a small convenience store and also sell piñatas! read more

Among the best food in town. Excellent, fresh and great service. They also have their own butcher shop and grocery store so you can buy other supplies. Prices are very reasonable for very high quality Mexican food read more

Food was disgusting ! The rice was flavorless mush ! I've never had worse rice in my life. The tacos were not good either and had to send the mole back to the kitchen I wouldn't waste my time or money here again ! It's hard to mess up tacos but they did !! AVOID this place !!!! Go to La Patrona instead ! If I could give 0 stars I would !! read more

Food overall is good, definitely varies depending on the trip, just depends on who's working. Lots of seating. Kinda of a divey diner feel over all. I feel like things run smoothly when the boss is around but it's a bit more haphazard after they go home ‍ read more

I know I review this place a lot, but that's because it's so wonderful! I love the Ramirez Bowl so much. Tried the fish taco this time too, and wow! The fish was perfect and light and melted in my mouth! They had Soccer and the NBA on the tv and music in the background. Our waitress was kind and attentive. She could remember the entire order without writing it down or anything, pretty cool! read more

Had the breakfast burrito with chorizo. What a mistake. Bland, very mushy. Just a poor breakfast burrito. I am very disappointed. More than likely won't be back for similar food. Over priced for what you get. Couldn't bother to continue eating it. Threw it out. read more

Always a "go to" restaurant. Their street tacos are large enough that 2 along with the beans and rice are tasty and filling. Highly recommend. Prices are very very reasonable. read more

When enjoy buying the chicken fajita mix, all the meat varieties are really good, service is great in the little store and a variety of things to choose from read more

The only place I have found in the area that makes good Mexican food. Love their breakfast burritos. Prices are reasonable. They are nice and pretty quick with take out orders. read more

Ate lunch there today, Very tasty food, But what made the experience the Best is the staff. They wer very playful and you could really see they love there job. I don't do many reviews but this place definitely earned my opinion. Thank you all for the great service and the laughter. read more

Love their food. We order take out and everything from tacos to their habanera salsa is amazing. Fast and friendly!!

I really wanted this place to be good. The chips were awesome. Nice and crispy, not oily. Nicely salted. They had Pepsi products. Nice music. Friendly staff. I liked that I could get things from the market and pay as part of my meal ticket. I saw pictures of the wet burrito and decided that was what I wanted. I was disappointed. The green sauce was the same as the salsa that came with the chips. Instead of chunks of pork it was shredded pork not your typical chile verde. There were rice and beans inside the burrito. They were cold, maybe like warm. There was also guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes inside the burrito. I'm not used to having that inside a wet burrito. Not sure if there were onions in the burrito. I opened the burrito and was picking at the filling. It was big. Too big for me lol. I usually take the leftovers for later. . . but I couldn't take this. I wouldn't eat it because of the guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes. . . In the fence if I'd return or not. read more

I feel the need to update this review... I've now been eating at this establishment for almost 2 years ... at least once a month. I feel like that's a good established base for my opinion with consistency! You can't beat the service and quality along with the more authentic Mexican food for the area. They have continually made upgrades to the location to accommodate more guests and it feels good. To be honest, I love the small town feel to the place because the people that run it feels like family. read more

Ordered from Door Dash. Had Asada fries and Asada super nachos. Meat was full of chunks of gristle. In the fries, I kept biting down on grit from something, so dirt. Great. I've had food from there in the past and had a better experience, so maybe it was just a bad day, but YUCK. I hear so many good reviews that I was shocked at this. read more

Super delicious Quesabirrias! Generous amount of consommé. Amazing flavor!! Their Cabeza tacos, soooo yummy! Rice and beans, better than what I've had in any Bay Area taqueria. Will make you eat too much :) read more

Ramirez Mexican Store - Top, Beef Burrito with everything in it. Below, Quesabirria --- The Bomb! Super delicious! April 1, 2024 - Mexican Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

This place is awesome! Very authentic Mexican food! Their special for today was "The Wet Burrito" and it was phat and amazing! It had a tomortilo sauce on it that was really good. The service was super friendly. Walking in it felt very homely and welcoming. The ambiance did not really matter to me because a grocery store and a restaurant/bar all sharing the same place it all varied so i paid no attention to that and does not affect my decision for 5 stars! read more

The only authentic Mexican food in the area. There are Mexican restaurants here with tasty food but it's made for white people. If you grow up with a strong Mexican community the food here doesn't even come close. Some of the food here tastes like it was made by the same Mexicans I grew up with. Kudos! read more

We've gone here for breakfast a few times and the burritos have always been fire. Our usual is breakfast burrito with potatoes, and we get it with salsa verde. read more

Great service and good portions. The Queso I wouldn't order again, though. It was super grainy with little flavor. read more

The customer service was great and the Ambiance was solid with good music playing and the food is amazing.

Good food, but they won't accept American Express. For this I won't be back. I really enjoyed the enchiladas but not enough to change who I bank with. read more

Came here after a late appointment for some dinner grub, and ordered a tamale and Ramirez bowl to-go. Tamale was huge and pretty decent but lacked the sides of salsas and other accoutrements I'm used to. Ramirez bowl was pretty salty and I felt like it was the toppings of a carne asada fries just without the fries. Not the greatest but it filled us up. They also have a small grocery store attached to the restaurant with a lot of homemade tortillas which looked tasty. Would give this place another chance. I think they fall in line with standard Washington taco/burrito stands in terms of quality. read more

My friends and I wanted Mexican food and as I drove, a friend just randomly searched up a place and this restaurant popped up as the first search on Yelp. Decided to check it out with its great reviews! It's located in South Gate shopping center with other stores around. There's a parking lot with ample parking spaces that won't be a problem. The restaurant had a huge list of foods that it was kind of overwhelming (but options are great!). There was a variety of food options yet we all chose to order a chimichanga with steak LOL. There was an option of either the ala carte and plate. The ala carte came with one chimichanga while the plate came with two with beans and rice. It looked really good with sides of sour cream and a delicious sauce! The chimichanga was stuffed with meat and beans. Buuuut it was relatively salty... my friends all pointed it out while I didn't notice as I kept smothering sour cream on top of mine. The sour cream definitely helped neutralize the saltiness LOL. Maybe the order we got wasn't too great, but they do offer a TON of different options to try from. I wouldn't necessarily say I wouldn't go back due to the variety. read more

Probably the best Mexican food in Thurston County. Food and service are always top notch. Highly recommended.

The young man waiting tables was Very rude!!!! You guys changed where to pay and we didn't know because we are in Portland area. The guy in bar was Very nice. We got the beans that are so good. Thanks read more

Great tamales in restaurant and we always order more to go ! Service is excellent also.

Server looked like he wanted to pick a fight, aggressive guy. We ended up eating and I had a very sour Al pastor taco that tasted foul. I do not recommend going. read more

The food here is always flavorful and fresh. I like that there is a grocery store as well, they have marinated meats and tons of other ingredients. This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. read more

Undercooked quesadilla. Extremely soggy and inedible When asked to have replaced they said it's how it's prepared. I've ordered this item many times over because it is my very favorite from them. Instead of taking accountability they tried to push it on to me as a customer that I didn't know what I was ordering End result of poor customer service is they've lost a loyal patron of five years. This is the only review I have ever done but felt it noteworthy because poor customer service can cause a loss of business to the owners of the establishment read more

Recomendado este lugar. Los frijoles bien chinitos. El arroz con sabor mexicano y no solo colorante como los otros lugares. Los nopales no son de frasco y los cocinan en casa. Visitando desde San Francisco read more

Everything about this place is awesome. The machaca and birria are the best I've ever had. I also love the little grocery store on the other side of the restaurant. 5 out of 5!!!! read more

Great breakfast burritos!! A great place to eat tucked right inside a grocery store.

Great food and price. Good portion size. Daily specials and take out orders. Pick up and make at home Mexican deli / store attached.

Bought fresh Tamales at Ramirez's for Christmas dinner. They were wonderful. The employees were friendly and bi-lingual. The store was clean and welcoming. read more

This place is great. I've been coming here for a few years and the people and food are always great. I always mix it up and try different meals, and they just don't disappoint. I appreciate the freshness in all the things they do from chips, salsa, tamales, etc. I appreciate what they do and look forward to supporting them. read more
