There's a reason this place is a destination, rather than a side quest. I live 92 miles and 2.5…read morehours away, and I make that pilgrimage a few times a year, much to my wife's consternation. "The freezer's full. Stop bringing home tamales." She's an infidel, a blasphemous Pharisee whose ignorance of the one true tamale is a point of ridicule. Tamale's are an art more than a science. My grandmother used to shut down her kitchen for two weeks each year to make tamales, which would fill a chest freezer for her husband to feast upon for lunch throughout the year. And when we went to visit, he'd share his hoard. To a point. They're both gone now, but I no longer have to wait for a family trip. Also, I can drive myself, so there's that. I make what I call The Tamale Run, a six hour drive that starts with a drive to lunch in Union Gap, a cooler filled with ice and a stack of frozen tamales, and ends with a saunter through Mt Rainier National Park. There are far worse ways to spend the day. And before you go and say, "Hey, you're spending half your day at a park," understand that part is the side quest, the icing on the cake if you will. A bonus I enjoy, but would gladly live without. So long as I get my tamales. Most tamales are dry. The masa tends to lose too much moisture when steamed. The result is typically a crumbly mess that lacks flavor and makes me wish I hadn't bothered. Los Hernandez tamales are moist, rich, and filled with consistent flavors that take me back to the trips of my youth, when my biggest concern was running out of AA batteries for my Walkman (I'm old). So do yourself a favor. Make the trek. Enjoy the journey. Savor the tamale. Ignore the other voices who tell you not to waste gas driving that far for something you could get closer, even if the nearby offerings are crap and unworthy. Tamales are more than just a food; they're a religion. Go, pray at the temple. Take your burnt offerings and some cash. Tell the priests and priestesses that you have come to kneel before Zod, or whatever your faith system commands of you.

I've driven by this place a lot of times, but never had the opportunity to stop in. Then one fateful afternoon with my best half was in the mood for sopes, I stopped in and things have never been the same! In talking with the gentleman at the front counter, it sounds like they've been here for the better part of a decade. It's located on the back half of the Chevron station on 16th Ave. and in the tradition of great gas station restaurants, they are serving up some amazing cuisine in a fairly grungy kitchen. That i'll translates into some of the better Mexican food I found in the area. And Papa loves his Mexican food! Perhaps the thing that sets them apart from any of the other delicious Mexican restaurants is the fact that they have a number of extra meat offerings for the tacos. The standard chicken, pork and beef offerings are available, however they have some additional ones including pork skin, stomach - sort of like tripe, as well as a couple renditions of beef and pork that I haven't seen. End of the day, everything was absolutely delicious. The sopes come 3 in order, are enough to feed two people pretty easily and are absolutely boss! The fixins tray includes the standard onions, cilantro and jalapeños as well as some really good salsa options. These guys are doing it absolutely awesomely! To boot, they serve breakfast and apparently make a really good breakfast burrito. Going to have to bring the better half and the kiddos by to make sure it's as good as everything else, though I expect it will be. This is a spot you should absolutely try, first because the food is delicious and second because it's in a gas station!

Central WA has the best Mexican food on the planet, and this one may have been the best one we've been to. It can not be understated how much the flavors are better here, and my Hubby and I have never been able to figure that out. We split the house Molcajete, with fresh made tortillas, and the stew broth was incredibly cheesy and savory. Couldn't finish it of course. Had a nice chat with the owner, who was taking care of the whole dining area, but still had the time to be friendly with us. Our sons love it when we come home from RVing with leftovers, and the food from here was gone in an instant upon arrival lol.
