Fresh, tasty and always enjoyable! Easy reservations, big plates. A Mexican fare go to in Everett.

I've been to New Mexicans a few times, though I haven't been here in a while and I've never been for breakfast. We got the huevos rancheros (huge), breakfast burrito (seriously the size of a newborn), and a waffle with strawberry and whip cream, plus 2 coffees and an orange juice. The total rang up to a whopping $47 after tax, I had to double check the bill to make sure we were charged for everything. On top of actually affordable pricing, the food and service were absolutely fantastic. The inside hasn't changed much and I'm glad. Such a cute little place, definitely our new breakfast spot. read more

Great food! Can't complain I live there home made fries and burgers huge I love there chips and the family that runs it is awesome momma always takes care of us! Not sure if it's authentic New Mexican but I do enjoy the burger and Mac n cheese and the cinnamon rolls are always home made! read more

Came here to try their brunch because we heard good things, but let's just say I'd come back only to try the actual New Mexican dishes... The restaurant only had a couple tables occupied when we arrived on a Saturday before noon, so we were seated right away. I got the "Loco Moco" with chicken fried steak, which was basically ordering a CFS with rice. As a person who loves eating everything with rice, I would've enjoyed it more of the gravy wasn't so sweet but it just made the entire dish less appetizing. My friend got biscuits and gravy, which was simple and nothing to write home about. We also got a cinnamon roll to share, and I actually quite liked it especially because they warmed it up. Service was good so I want to give them another chance, but I'd skip on the brunch. read more

Disappointed - Quality Drops Without the Owner Present We've had great experiences at New Mexicans in the past. The atmosphere was always lively and welcoming, thanks in large part to the owner, who would personally check in with each table and bring a warm, friendly energy to the space. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a major letdown. The owner wasn't there, and it showed. Service was subpar--staff were disengaged, some sitting at the bar on their phones, others behind the counter doing the same. Their interest seemed more focused in the game playing on the big screens than in attending to guests. We ordered chicken nachos, and only after eating a few bites realized there was no chicken. When we pointed this out, the server took the partially eaten plate and returned it with cold chicken dumped on top. It felt careless and unprofessional. We also had to wait for basic things like water and napkins, and the attentive service we were used to just wasn't there. It's disappointing to see such a dramatic difference in quality when the owner isn't present. Until there's more consistent oversight and staff accountability, I'd sadly recommend spending your money elsewhere. read more

This place charges an automatic gratuity, even on to go orders! Absolutely ridiculous! How about you pay your staff and stop being GREEDY? Wild concept. Food was expensive, but of course, completely average. Had to leave a bad review. Gotta keep places like this honest. read more

I think my expectations were too high. Very friendly servers. The house made chips were good. I give the guacamole and the queso 3.5 stars. You pay a little extra for the carne asada tacos and it was disappointing because it fell flat in the flavor department lacking any seasoning. The pulled pork sliders: The pork shows up already soaked in bbq sauce. Some peeps might like this. I personally like to taste the smokiness of the pork with a small amount of bbq sauce on top... but that's just me. Otherwise, great atmosphere. Friendly people. Street parking. read more

It's been since pre-Covid that we have checked out the New Mexicans. We were pleasantly surprised that the food is still yummy. We had a group of 4, no reservations at 5:30 on a Friday. We had two table choice with folding chairs. Our only disappointment with our visit is the lack of seating. They used to have a lot of seating with different style tables. Now they have gone to large bulky wood style Mexican restaurant booths. In my opinion, if you're too busy to get people seated to start, going with less seating isn't the way to go. There were a few tables that had reserved signs on them, guessing you can make reservations. None of the tables held more than 4. Thankful we didn't bring the family of 6. The service was great as always. Food was flavorful but lacked some seasoning. Almost like it wasn't uniform on the sauce flavoring??? We ordered two of the chicken burritos, two ordered of the happy hour tacos and the brisket sandwich. We also ordered the chips, queso and salsa from the happy hour menu. The salsa was more like a pico and lacked flavor. The queso was cheese with the salsa in it and the bowl is to small :( We walked out of there paying less than $40 a couple. Haven't done that in a minute so it was a pleasant surprise. I wish they made their cinnamon rolls everyday. I had hoped to bring one home for Saturday am. If you are around they are worth the stop. We will be back, if there is seating. read more

So I got the chicken fried steak with one biscuit and gravy. I actually liked everything except the gravy itself. It wasn't my thing and would rather have some regular country gravy. The potatoes, the eggs, the chicken fried steak and the biscuits were fantastic though. Really love the lemonade too. Probably my second favorite within a mile of my place. Service was great even though it was busy. Overall great place and food! read more

Was going to a Silvertips game on a Saturday night with my wife so we decided to give this place a try. When we entered we weren't sure if we should seat our selves or if there was a hostess things were kinda buy so we grabbed a table for two. Shortly afterwards one of the workers came and gave us some menus we made our selections for food and drink. We both chose a Cadillac margarita for our drink, my wife went with the pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese while I chose the smoked chicken enchiladas with beans. While we waited I took some time to check out the restaurant, it actually has a kinda small dining area that morfs into a bar/ kitchen. Place was clean and well staffed we got water with our drinks before our meals arrived which arrived quickly. Both of our meals were good mine had a slight smoke and savory flavor with tender chunks of chicken inside, the beans were ok but nothing special. My wife enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich both meals were good sized we left full and we went on to watch the Tips beat Seattle 6 to 1. An enjoyable night if you're in Everett for an event and want a quick dinner before it this a solid choice. read more

Excellent place. We have been there multiple times and have never been disappointed. I normally get the smoked chicken enchilada, but have tried almost everything on the menu and can vouch that you couldn't go wrong with whatever choice you make. read more

We accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant. We actually thought we were at the restaurant next door, but it was a happy mistake. The waitress was very friendly and offered excellent suggestions on what to order. Decided to go with a top seller, the smoked chicken enchilada. My husband went with the brisket sandwich. Both were superb! Will definitely return read more

Finally crossed The New Mexicans off of our "must try" list! We went for "breakfast" around noon after a night at the casino, and we were lucky to get the last open table. Pleasantly surprised to hear that breakfast was served all day. Expected a wait based on other reviews. The atmosphere was lively, and at times maybe a bit too loud for our liking, as the Seahawks were playing and being broadcasted on the large TVs. IF you are seeking a quiet experience in which you can hear your dining partner, perhaps this is not your place. My husband and I both ordered the Huevos Rancheros. You can customize it with how many tortillas and eggs you'd like, which sauce you want, and add on a meat of your choice if you so desire. The reason I'm docking a star is that the menu was not at all descriptive, and we were forced to rush into a decision when ordering. They apparently have three or four difference sauces, both green and red, ranging from mild to hot. The meat options were not listed, but included pork, smoked brisket, and a few other things that were rattled off so quickly that I didn't catch it. It would have been really nice to know this info in advance so we would have had a chance to think of it. As is, it felt rushed, and to be honest, I wasn't completely crazy about my choice. It's seems customary that these options would be spelled out on the menu, but alas, they were not. My husband chose the mild green sauce, which was a bright and fresh, and tasty sauce that was just delicious. I chose the medium red sauce, which was a darker, smoky, heavy on the cumin sauce, that some people will love, but it just isn't my favorite flavor combo. It was good, and I ate it all, but I definitely would have chose differently if given more information about what my options were. We also got two cinnamons rolls to go, which were huge, heavy, with a bit of icing and no raisins (yay!). They were fairly average IMO, but I didn't go there for the cinnamon rolls anyway. I'm looking forward to returning and trying lunch, but next time, I will know to ask a lot more about the menu before I order. I saw a lot of plates come out that looked really tasty. They also had mimosas if that's your thing. Prices were fantastic, by the way... Our dishes were only $12, but to add the brisket was $5 (and worth it). It's been a long time since we've gone for breakfast and had a reasonable bill. You get a lot of value for your money at this restaurant, and really good service. I would recommend coming at off times if you don't want to wait. read more

I want to like this place as it has a great vibe and it's near where we live, but the quality and taste just isn't there. The margaritas in particular taste as if they're simply lime juice and tequila. The queso is Velveeta and Royal with no added spices with a tiny portion. Once was enough for us unless the quality improves. read more

Sopapillas! Instead of chips and salsa are the best appetizer. The green chile stew was great with the cornbread. The flat enchiladas with the hot sauce was divine. Tastes of home. Authentic. I travel far for great flavors and ambiance of New Mexico. The service is top notch as well. read more

My wife and I went to happy hour and tried the carne asada tacos, pulled pork slider and the smoked kielbasa. The smoked kielbasa was fantastic, the carne asada tacos were just ok, the seasoning on the carne asada fell a little flat. The pulled pork sliders had a little to much BBQ sauce for my liking. Me personally, I don't like my pulled pork soaked in sauce. I like to taste the smokiness of the meat and add my sauce as needed. All in all, the staff was great, the venue was good however, there is a good chance we won't be back. read more

Wonderful fun friendly family runs the place, making so much from scratch! Went here today for lunch with our three kids (twins 13 and a 16 year old) and everyone loved it. Yummy homemade cinnamon rolls and homemade shell for the fresh taco salad. I got the green enchilada plate with two over medium eggs on top. Very fresh and filling. Kids all commented on the great atmosphere, asking to come again (that's unusual for them). The five of us sat at the 'bar/counter' of this family friendly restaurant and got to interact a bunch with the people who make this homecooked-tex-mex style place. Lighter flavors, mild and very natural, with new twists on things like nachos. Adore being able to get cool breakfast plates mid-day! And my son really enjoyed the huge serving chicken fried steak plate! Give this place a try. Seems like somewhere to become a happy regular. read more

Decide what you want to be? If you're a dinner restaurant stay open through dinner hours which at a minimum is 8pm.

Came here 2 hours before the silvertips game. To start they never brought us chips and salsa for about 15 min. Then when they did I'm not joking they tasted like 1 week old cardboard. We'll, by the time we got them I already ordered the nachos. We got the chips replaced (just slightly better) but then I got my nachos which were used from the same chips we started with. THE WORST NACHOS IVE EVER HAD. I tried to be nice and eat some of it but just couldn't get close to finishing them. For the first time in 36 years I actually had to complain about the food. I was planning on paying and leaving but the waitress( I think the owners wife) comped my meal. She was very nice. As I tried to be nice about the complaint. Now it's 3am 9 hours later I'm laying in bed sick af knowing I'm never going back. read more

Pre-hockey dinner choice. Got a table right away, but then waited... and waited... and waited.. I was feeling like Carne asada, however.... Everyone is in a tortilla or a bun, everything has rice or beans. Meat is extra. Huh. Can I just have a green enchilada without a tortilla? Oh, no. Those are pre-made and impossible to change. Oh. Red enchilada? Well yeah, but it's just lettuce onions and cheese. Okay. Can I have a taco salad without beans? Sure! Here's the taco salad... with beans. Sigh. And honestly there's so much lettuce, and maybe 6 pieces of meat? Will not be back. read more

The food, service, price and vibe cannot be beat! Absolutely one of the best, if not the best, restaurants in Everett. Pro tip: always get a side of corn bread and honey butter. And if you're there on a weekend, the cinnamon rolls are incredible. 5 stars easy! read more

Amazing food! Diverse menu, I had the pulled pork and it was the best I've had in years. Great service, definitely will be back soon.

Cinnamon roll was good. Cadillac margarita is nice and strong. The prickly pear margarita was sweet. Pork tacos and smoked chicken enchilada were EXTREMELY bland. I was alarmed at the amount of salt I kept adding to each bite. Portions sizes were decent and the menu looks fire. I'm curious if all their meat is cooked without salt or seasoning. The pork tacos were great. The presentation was boring and somewhat strange. The tacos were on one side while the other side had a mini dallop of each sour cream and guacamole. The tacos seemed fresh and homemade. I liked how they had a little crisp to them. The strips of hatch chile in my smoked chicken enchilada were a lot larger than the strips I'm used to. I was thinking they were strips like bell peppers in fajitas but they're more like chicken strips sized chiles! The chicken was so very tender and moist. Service was good and honestly if only the food was more flavorful I'd definitely give them a 4 star rating. read more

The interior is a bit eclectic so has visual interest. We were greeted and seated very quickly. We ordered the Grubbin Nachoes. The queso cheese and salsa were really good. The beans were also good. Where they fell short was the amount of guacamole and sour cream for a shareable order of nachos was completely inadequate. Overall food was good but we will try something else the next time. Pricing was reasonable and the overall environment was pleasant. It is worth a try. read more

Ok time to finally review this place. I've been coming here for a few years which should indicate exactly how I feel. The basics? The food is good, service is excellent, and the staff is friendly with an overall chill vibe. The food has a New Mexican influence (can you say hatch chili) and a little Hawaiian thrown in there. I usually over order starting with a sopapilla (because WHY wouldn't you) and the smoked chicken enchilada with green hatch chili. The chili dog is not just a hot dog but a smoked kielbasa that can stand up to the chili sauce. I have never left hungry and usually have enough for another meal with leftovers. I have not tried the drinks but I can say the desserts are great as well. read more

We came here for breakfast yesterday after a friend recommended this place. We were glad he had. The place is a cute little hole in the wall with about 10 tables and bar seating. It was constantly busy when we were there but there didn't seem to be a wait for a table for anyone who came in. We ordered a few things to share including the cinnamon roll, breakfast burrito, biscuit and gravy, and pancake. Service was friendly and pretty quick. They made sure to keep coffee mugs constantly filled. The cinnamon roll came first and it was massive. This is a must get if you come here because it was delicious and we had to stop ourselves from eating the whole thing so we had room for the rest of our food. It was one of the better cinnamon rolls I've ever had and I would come back here just for this. The breakfast burrito (we got it without gravy and cheese) was also huge and delicious. It was packed with bacon (you get your choice of meat), potatoes, eggs, onions and rice. It was too big and messy to eat as an actual burrito so you definitely need a knife and fork with this. The biscuit and gravy was also really good. The biscuit was super light and fluffy and the gravy was tasty and had a good amount of sausage in it. The pancake was fine but nothing special. It was also massive though. For the price and the amount of food you get, you can't beat this place. We will definitely be back again. read more

This review is for cinnamon rolls only- I plan on going back for their smoked chicken enchiladas because they look mighty delicious and I hope I can come back and update this review with more stars! Stopped in on Saturday on a reco from a friend. After seeing their pictures of cinnamon rolls I felt that I did not WANT one, but definitely NEEDED one. Service was great, they warmed it up for me, it smelled ah-mazing. However, I was underwhelmed. It was rather bready, and I was missing something.... more cinnamon? More of a crispness on the outer crust? Maybe a bit more distance in the icing? I can't put my finger on it. All I know is it won't stop me from going back for l read more

Recently went to New Mexico for the first time. Had always heard good things about this restaurant & figured it was time to give it a try. Very glad we did, our server was very friendly and treated us like family. Food was delicious & it was difficult to settle on what to get, everything sounded so good! We had tickets to Village Theatre & walked. It's not too far, but would only recommend the trek for those who like to walk...helps especially after over indulging read more

Food and service both excellent. Nice cozy atmosphere. Go here! The first time I came here I tried the smoked chicken enchilada. Tonight I ordered the green chili enchilada and added the smoked chicken, which came served on top of the enchilada. I believe I like this choice even better than the smoked chicken enchilada because the corn tortillas tasted so good. So delicious!!! I highly recommend this restaurant. P.S. The carrot cake and sopapillas were homemade and so, so, so good! read more

This place is a true gem if you're looking for some unique, home-style cooking. I ordered for takeout over the phone and everything was ready when they said it was. I just had to pay and leave. They didn't have online ordering, which was a minor inconvenience, but it doesn't really matter that much. I was able to find street parking right at Hewitt & Hoyt. So, didn't have to really deal with all that, but there is a parking garage right there - at Hewitt and Hoyt - to the north - so, pretty much as convenient as could be. New Mexican food isn't something you see very commonly. It seems like it's very chili (green chilies) and saucy, which... I like! I got the smoked chicken enchilada - which was actually... more like a huge, smothered burrito. Absolutely incredible chicken. Cannot overstate it. Don't even know how to explain it besides... smokey... tender... saucy... The only thing that was even slightly off was the beans on the side - they were on the bland side (under seasoned, but edible). My wife got the green enchiladas, which were actually enchiladas and she enjoyed them. We will definitely be back! read more

Nice people, pretty good food and family atmosphere. Their prickly pear margarita was awesome. Their homemade chips are a delight and elevated their nachos to legendary status.

I couldn't be more disappointed with my once favorite restaurant in Everett I had been coming here since the doors opened, not sure if we will be coming back. Service was atrocious I know they need help, and our waitress was newer. I would have looked past all of that if the food came close to what it used to be. I paid $16 for three flat corn tortillas. I couldn't believe this what they pass for enchiladas now. I ordered them with carne asada (couldn't find a hint of steak, maybe ground beef?!?!) The over easy eggs had more flavor then the rest of the dish. I couldn't be more bummed out from what this place used to be. We also ordered margaritas which are normally amazing my wife's prickly pear wasn't as good as it normally was either. After waiting almost 10 minutes for our check (had time to write this) I found out they didn't add meat to my enchiladas, and my wife's prickly pear margaritas were raspberry.
