    Queso con chile
    YS P.

    Always a pleasure to stop by and get the chile con queso!! The wait staff recognizes you and are always quick on their feet. Will recommend this location, top tier service and food.

    Appetizer menu.

    My wife and I met my bestie and her son at Tampico for a drink and light bite. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Complimentary chips, salsa and salsa Verde is served while perusing the menu. The chips were light and warm. The salsa had good flavor but lacked heat. I'm not a fan of salsa Verde and Tampico didn't change my mind on that. Draft beer is not served at Tampico, only bottles. Happy Hour specials and Taco Tuesday specials are not offered at Tampico. Displeasing. Bottles of Modelo and Dos Equis were $4.95 each. Steep. A serving of Chile Jalapenos (qty 6) was $2.50. Reasonable pricing. We shared the Chicken Taquito appetizer for $14.25: flour tortilla stuffed with shredded chicken and cheese. Rolled and crispy fried. Garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, cotija cheese, sour cream and guacamole. The taquitos were standard and what one would expect to find at any other Mexican restaurant. Our server was cold and couldn't even attempt a fake smile. Overall, I think Tampico is overpriced with average tasting food. In all honesty, the lack of draft beer is the reason that I will not return again.

    I just bought the best pan of Nachos Supremeo I've ever eaten in my life!! ( I'm 62... that means I've had lots of Mexican food.) $12 bought me this GIANT LASAGNA SIZE PAN of fresh fresh FRESH chips baked in the Nachos and a bag of extra freshly made chips for later. I'll be eating this for days! Fresh real hand made guacamole with a hint of fresh cilantro, and sour creme, salsa verdes and classic red. All for $12!! I'm staying at the motel next door so I WILL be going back! Thank you Tampico!!

    A beautiful restaurant on the Broadway strip. The staff is the best in Everett! The entire staff is always sooo nice!!! Very polite and very prompt!! You get your menus, chips and salsa and water right away. They work as a team to get your order and bring out your food in no time at all! They also have delish Magaritas!!! They only reason they get at 4 instead of a 5, is that the food is good, not great. Too much cheese, and not enough flavor... but there is great potential!!!

    So before my Mother passed we used to treat ourselves at this restaurant. As time marched all over me, I would make a note to stop by and eat. So I did it. I can say the food is still as good. It is a small restaurant so if you have big group you will be at different tables, but small enough that you don't have to shout at someone across the room. The service is still very friendly. One thing I didn't try and forgot to look and see if still on the menu was the apple burrito. Over 20 years ago and I still remember it. (++ Added to review) I had left overs. Here is my TikTok video of what I did with my leftovers. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRKACoQG/

    I always compare pollo en mole from place to place and I consider this place a 5 star chicken en mole dish. Wonderful chocolate base mole.

    Luna Mexican Grill - Campechana (cocktail with shrimp, octopus, and scallops), you can order it hot, warm or cold. In my opinion it tastes better cold.

    In short Clean, bright, friendly family-style Mexican place…read more Full bar, plenty of TVs. In long I definitely miss the awesome Thai place that used to be here, but Luna offsets that nostalgia. They're doing a great job. There's a cool courtyard, with iron fencing and gating that seems to suit the Mexican decor even better than it did the previous tenant. There's a good-sized winding dining room indoors too. Brightly-colored paint, nice matching tables and chairs, some big screens probably tuned to the game. Service is right on point, cheerful and low-key, ready to make you feel right at home. You get a menu right away, water with chips and salsa in a minute or two. The drink menu isn't the main focus, but you get basic versions of most anything. I had a Luna Margarita with lots of fresh fruit in there--even had to clear the straw at one point. The chips and salsa are generic. Just pico and tomato sauce stirred up. Would be nice to see them make something in house, but not too many places do that (fewer than you might think). The carne seems to be the star of the show, and it was tasty. Ordered medium and came out closer to well, but still fully tender and juicy. Tortillas were fine, the roast corn and scallions were good, and the rice and beans held up their end of the bargain. Little bit of guac and fresca in the middle of the plate. They're working hard for your Mexican food dollar, and if you're anywhere nearby, they're easily worth a stop.

She took us to the back which featured a bar area and twinkling lights on the ceiling! Loved the plants and decors on the wall. Our server was so attentive and kind! Me and my girl friend's husband ordered the Mar Y Tierra, thinly cut steak with garlic shrimp and mushrooms on the slide with rice, refried beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and choice of corn or flour tortillas! The steak was my favorite -- so juicy, tender and flavorful! They have a great variety of drinks! I got the watermelon basil margarita. They also have Jarritos soda which, my girl friend tried the guava and it was good! You have to get here before peak or you may not get a parking spot. They do have parking at the back but I bet if it's a peak night, it'll be crowded. We will definitely be back next time!

    Went for lunch Sunday midday. Interior was small with an eclectic decor that was well lit and…read moreclean. We were greeted and sat promptly. It was fairly busy and staff were very attentive. Ordered Cadillac margaritas which came out quickly, not very strong, good flavor overall (not too sweet). Chips and salsa were good, guacamole could use more lime. Shared a chile relleno which was standard. Daughter ordered pollo a la crema which was not overly creamy, chicken was tender. Sister got albondigas (meatball soup), broth had a nice roasted corn base. I ordered their menudo which came with tender (clean tasting) intestines, and one pata (foot). I added some of their chili oil which was smoky and balanced. Tried their other salsitas which were also good, habanero had good heat and pineapple had a nice touch of sweetness.

    In short The name helps a lot--it really is a family place,…read morelots of booths and tables packed into one dining room. But the kitchen is doing a ton of great things from scratch and the menu is huge. It's way more than just a corner Mexican spot. In long The ratings have been high forever and we've been wanting to try it for at least a year. Finally found ourselves with the right amount of time in the right location yesterday. We caught them after the lunch rush, and dude was super nice to come out and hold the door so I could wheel my bride in. There are a few flatscreens up, and in back there are single-occupant washrooms. It's not a big room, but it's festive and they clearly have regulars, judging by the warm greetings are a couple more tables filled up. We had our pick of tables and we settled in to go over the hugely long menus. Do you want something familiar or something fewer places offer? The kitchen runs the gamut here. You get fresh, light chips on the table with some delicious scratch salsa that even packs a bit of heat. We finally settled on pozole and tacos al carbon. They bring out avocado salsa and pineapple salsa, which both add a ton of good flavor. The red table salsa is where the heat is, though. The tacos were delicious, tons of juicy chopped steak inside. I went with this overly-safe pick and didn't regret it at all. The pozole was incredible, lots of real bone stewed in with the meat, tons of great flavor in the broth and super soft, tender, flavorful pork. Lots of tasty condiments. Beautifully homey and comforting soup to warm your bones on a cold wet day. We took more than half of it home--very generous portion. We also checked out a margarita and a mai tai, and both were excellent. You really have to try the food here to get the full effect of how good it is. You can kinda tell the kitchen is ambitious by reading the menu online, and that's promising for sure. But all those house-made scratch touched throughout every subrecipe will exceed even high expectations like ours. Great place, and we're dumb for taking so long to try it.
