    Tacos De asada
    Oriana C.

    Tacos were bomb, home made tortillas 5/5 Chicken flautas 4/5 Carne asada sopes 5/5 Súper burrito 5/5.. fresh agua drinks were bomb!! The service was great, we went late and they were cleaning half of the restaurant & there wasn't much seating. I'd come back :)

    Fish tacos

    Very clean restaurant, service was good. I ordered fish tacos they were just oh k, not your typical breaded fish taco. They were tilapia fish grilled on homemade tortillas. The menudo was good. They do serve fresh tortillas. Normal Mexican tasting food. Will return in the future to try other food options.

    Asada Tacos

    We were told these were the best tacos in Yakima so after a 3.5 hour drive, it's only fair we come here. Not the best I've had, but they're pretty good. When I first saw the prices, I was disappointed but the size of the tacos are fair for the price point though I enjoy the small, cheap tacos from bundle deals. They do give a generous amount of meat too. Though, a burrito is roughly 3 tacos so value wise, the burritos a great deal. Asada Tacos - get the asada on anything! Their steak is great, tender meat. Tacos themselves are again, fairly large. Four is a very solid amount for a meal. One hundred percent get the asada over other meats. Use provided sauces for more flavor if needed. Adobada Tacos - the adobada is extra juicy as it's a marinated meat but the one here also packs a slight kick. Not a substantial spiciness, but it's sort of there as extra flavor, especially if you don't want to add more sauce yourself. Asada Burrito - like the tacos, there's a good amount of meat. Also in the burrito is rice and beans but I would say meat makes up half the burrito. More filling than a few tacos, but that makes sense. Snag this for a cheaper but filling meal.

    Strong 4.5 and they get that extra star bc the amount of food was beyond what was needed! Great tasting. Hi Ken and the cilantro was fresh and strong. Food was quick to arrive and hot! Glad we stopped by for lunch!

    Food is great Ambiance great Service is really bad, waited 25 minutes for 3 tacos I always call to place the order before so it's ready to pick up but the NEVER pick up the phone, they are really bad on picking up the phone Tacos are good but if you are in a rush forget about this place This is my last time I will come here.

    Taco & Sope combo

    This place is so good! There's a Taco & sope special with rice and beans for less than $7 and it comes with a drink. I will say trying a few meats, the carne Asada is my favorite. This was my go to with a Piña to drink. The green salsa is so fresh and super spicy. I have tried their flautas a few times with chicken because who doesn't like flautas with all the works?

    Wow - so flavorful!!! I wish we could get Mexican food this good in Seattle. We were blown away. Had the shrimp tostada which was loaded with deliciously seasoned shrimp ceviche. The chicken in the burrito was so good I hummed through my meal. My other loved the chicken tacos with the hand made tortillas, served with radishes and lime. Had 3 salsas, including a spicy red one and a tomatillo one, both of which were zippy and fabulous. Cant say enough about this food. They were crowded, but totally worth the make to order wait. No outdoor seating, but we happily camped out on our car in the parking lot. They did have indoor seating.

    Super Burrito!

    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.

The staff is friendly and efficient, which makes it an ideal spot for a relaxed lunch. The restaurant is medium sized with adequate parking out front, and if things get busy, there's plenty of overflow in the adjacent Fred Meyer lot. The restaurant is in the middle of the strip mall just north of Fred Meyer. My spouse ordered the Avocado Tostada, which was generously sized and clearly delicious--he ate more than usual. It came with rice and refried beans, both well prepared. I used to order the Cheese/Onion Enchilada plate, which includes two enchiladas plus rice and beans, and I'd always end up taking half home (never quite the same reheated). Since my appetite is smaller, I now ask for just one cheese/onion enchilada on its own. The staff never blinks at the request, and my husband happily shares a bit of his refried beans with me. My meal was perfection. Definitely worth checking out. It's not the most extraordinary Mexican food in the area, but it's always very good--better than we can make at home--and that's why we keep coming back.

There were three of us dining, and when our food came out, only two meals were delivered. We waited patiently and a second server came and noticed we had not received our third meal. He went to the kitchen and had conversation with the staff, and one of the servers had delivered our third meal to another table so two of us only had our dinner and we started to eat. One of the guests in our party went to open their burrito, and there was no meat in it, and it was specifically a beef burrito. Another server came again took the burrito back to the kitchen, and it was the wrong order. They made a new burrito and by this time the third entrée came out so we essentially all ate our dinner at different times because they were not delivered at the same time which was awkward. When the bill came the one entrée that was delivered correctly was overcharged and there was no mention of an up charge for a cream sauce on the enchilada. I questioned the server and she explained that the cream sauce was more expensive. I have no problem with an upcharge if it's listed on the menu. The prices at this restaurant are a little high. The food was just OK. I shared my experience with the person that recommended this restaurant and they were shocked as they dine in there regularly. I hope this was just an off night for them, but based on my experience, I would not return.
