My previous review was based on a single experience, but since then I've been back at least a dozen or so times for their excellent 5-taco platter and their tamales. If you are hungry and happen to be coming through our little town, don't hesitate to stop by and grab some tacos! You won't be disappointed!

Lived in Rainier for a couple of years. Drove by this place many times. Stopped today to try it…read moreout. WOW! Food's great. Tried the #1 Quesabirria tacos, #13 Tacos Dorados plate, #11 Pambazo sandwich. All the tacos were flavorful, hot, crispy. Quesabirria consome for dipping tacos was rick, savory. I actually added a spoonful of pico de gallo to the consome at the end and drank the rest. Pambazo was big, total meal in itself. The chorizo, in the sandwich, was great. Red sauce was nice-n-spicy. Green sauce was trad. Don't pass this place by. My kids loved it all. Kid tested, kid approved. Disregard the haters in the comments. The owners are nice people, maybe a little dry sense of humor. As food trucks go, this place is solid. ***Room for improvement: I'd like more refried beans with this good food. Next time I'll order additional sides. Eazy fix.

I wish I took pictures, I live in Vancouver and met my bestie that lives in Puyallup, to catch up…read moreso I wasn't thinking of food pictures. The restaurant is decorated like you're in someone's home in Mexico, it was so cute! It was very busy when we came in They don't have chips and salsa fyi - this joint is incredibly authentic Not a HUGE menu, but decent amount of choices which right away tells me they do what they do well if the menu isn't 8 pages haha We got quick service, there was one woman seating people, taking orders, and closing checks, and she did it well! My friend and I ordered soup (specifically carne en su jugo), which is my FAVORITE SOUP EVER, and I can't ever find it anywhere, and boy oh boy I will drive the 1.5 hours to get it again and again, it was perfect. They provide maximum of 2 ramekins of pickled carrots (cost if you want more, which were amazing) and 1 ramekin of green salsa (charge if you want more - and it's spicy but so good!) 3 crispy chicken tacos 1 mole with refried beans taquito (not rolled) 1 adobado pork sopa 1 adobado pork taco 2 chorizo tacos 1 hibiscus aqua fresca The restaurant doesn't have any music on, which I always appreciate background noise in general, but my friend and I were talking so much and the place was busy I didn't notice too much We planned on meeting monthly in Centralia and will continue to go here to eat, check it out!!!

I highly recommend the enchiladas and chile negro. It's not too spicy at all, the food has robust flavors like good Mexican food should.

I don't have any particular…read morecomplaints, and if you live near here, there is practically NO other choices for night dinning other than the market/gas station.. the next closest food is up Tumwater or Rainier, which has a least a couple of food trucks and Rainier City Pizza. We hated the wrought Iron chairs though.. super heavy and tall, and I am not a short person.. very hard to just slide it under your table seating.. other than that, completely average, but I'll go a 3 since at least the food was decent and the beer was cold. oh, and the orange "crack" sauce was pretty good too.. y'all should try that for sure.. I asked for their hottest, and that's what they gave me.. it went well on the Pork Belly Tacos

Came here and was interested to see that they specialized in Mexican food from Michoacan, which is…read morenot always easy to find. We came in and were promptly seated at a table and served water and chips/salsa. The salsa was solid. Waitress came and took our order and was friendly and helpful. Service overall was fantastic. Prices were a little higher than I would have liked as I am not used to paying this much for this cuisine, but honestly after ordering and getting a taste, I think I am definitely going to return to this place. Ambiance was not anything out of the ordinary! Clean and good atmosphere. I ordered a Michoacan Especial which was grilled top sirloin, chile relleno, and enchiladas served with rice and beans. Oh my god! Each part of this dish was amazing, and I was so satisfied afterwards, that I could not wait to plan another trip here again. I definitely recommend giving this place a try and going for one of their Michoacan dishes!

The dim lighting and colors of the restaurant are a great vibe. It feels romantic. My girlfriend got the carne asada & I got the habanero enchiladas. My only major complaint, is that the habanero enchiladas were not spicy at all. The flavor was great. But I found myself wanting to ask for Tapatio or something to douse them with as well. Our server had disappeared before our food arrived and I was honestly too hungry to wait. But she didn't come back to check on us for probably 15 minutes after someone else brought our food, unfortunately. The carne asada was delicious though. Very tender and the seasoning was perfect. Will definitely be coming back.

We had eaten at this location when it was another Mexican restaurant and never felt the service/greetings were all that great. When we walked in today she was very friendly and immediately got us chips, salsa and drinks. Their chips are made there and excellent! The salsa was a little on the liquidy side and not quite as spicy as we like but still had good flavor. We ordered a side of the fresh guacamole, it was delicious! After looking through the extensive menu and asking some questions we ordered the chipotle shrimp and street tacos (asada, al pastor, chorizo). First the shrimp dish, creamy and spicy, very tasty! The street tacos were real good, especially the chorizo and al pastor! The asada was ok, just lacked the flavor the other two had, probably the best chorizo I've ever had. Also if you like traditional refried beans, these are outstanding, perfect richness and creaminess you expect from refried beans made in house. We were very full when we left. We ordered queso dip with chorizo to go so we could have that with our game night tonight. Thanks for a great experience, we will be back!! I forgot to mention, you have to ask for it but they have a habanero sauce that was so tasty, nice and spicy but you could also taste the habanero pepper, not just total heat. Totally recommend it!

With that said, the price was perfectly set for the menu so you most definitely get what you pay for. The hostess was an abuela type Mexican lady that made us feel super welcome (that's a big part of my experience) we order just some carnitas tacos as we were just stopping for a quick bite. The food was phenomenal! The beer was cold! And the times were fun! We most definitely need to come back for a full dinner one night because this place checks all the right boxes! 10/10 would most definitely come back AND recommend!
