    Mac n cheese
    Chris R.

    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!

    Cinnamon Roll
    Vy M.

    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.

    What we were served. After returning, the same plate, we had eaten off of, it was returned with warm & cold chicken thrown on top.

    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.

    Chips. Queso plus guac.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Smoked chicken enchiladas

    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

    Breakfast menu
    Britt B.

    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.

    Pulled pork sliders and smoked kielbasa
    Jason K.

    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.

    Our kids loved sitting up at the counter to eat , tapped into phones awaiting their food.

    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.

    Tacos salad...  or just a pile of lettuce with very little meat.

    This has been bookmarked for a while and the only regret I have is that I didn't get here sooner…read more This food is terrific, the vibe is hilarious, the servers are downright fantastic. Andrew (our server) introduced us to his sidekick, who was in training. Love that personal, hands on approach for a mew team member, and Sidekick did a great job in monitoring our table and replenishing water. Have to stop here and express my appreciation for Andrew and how he took the time to explain the philosophy and genuine team vibe of the restaurant. Oftentimes when a restaurant adds a flat 20% gratuity, you get the feeling this is not passed on to the servers. Not so here. He explained that it's shared among the servers, bar, and other staff, with only a bit retained by management, but even that finds its way into their wages. Terrific work environment and happy to see it. It definitely shows in the level of service. But we're here to eat. Didn't take a picture, but one of my dining companions ordered the burrito with red chili sauce and it was very good. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce. The Cantina celebrates Taco Tuesday, so I took advantage of this. You get the opportunity to try 5 different street tacos for the low price of $15. For another $4 you order it fully loaded which is a steal (guac, pickled onions, lettuce, giardano, crema, and another lovely sauce). Each of the tacos were really delicious and packed full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and the beef. Was surprised how much I liked the popcorn chicken - still juicy and not greasy in the least. Andrew treated us to a round of the hatch green chili. I was delighted because it was a dish I wanted to try. He described it perfectly: a little kick, but you can't stop eating it. He was right. A bowl of this in the winter with their cornbread (which I'm confident will be delicious) will preempt a winter cold. The sauces on the table are not to be ignored either. The green chili sauce was fruity with a little heat, the scorpion chili brings the heat, but their homemade chili oil is phenomenal. I could put this on everything. In short, the Cantina delivers. Excellent food, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun staff, and a cool vibe. I'll bet the cocktails will also be good. Definitely adding to the regular rotation!

The neighborhood is absolutely…read moredreadful, and they tack on an automatic 20% "service charge" with or without good service giving you no choice to decide whether or not the service warrants the charge. I own an e-commerce company, just like Amazon, and could you imagine your Amazon order having a 20% "service charge" to help offset labor costs. This is becoming a trend and I'm avoiding eateries that do this.

When I called the restaurant, Dora had no record of what I ordered -- completely not her fault and entirely a DoorDash issue (and my own ordering ignorance). What happened next is why this place deserves five stars. Dora took my order over the phone and made sure it was delivered by her partner on Christmas Eve. They absolutely saved our holiday dinner. And the food... wow. The tamales were moist, tender, and incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The traditional rice tasted fresh and homemade, the beans and cheese were full of flavor, and the biscochitos were the lightest, most delicate cookies we've ever had.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and happy hour and had a pleasant time. Parking is easy…read moresince you're able to validate it in the restaurant using a QR code or something similar (I forget) on the table which was super convenient. We got seated right away. Food came out quickly. Our server was very friendly as well. Checked up on us often and was very warm. We ordered a couple drinks. They were solid and got me a bit tipsy lol. We ordered queso fries as our appetizer. It was my favorite thing we ate there. Fries were warm, crunchy, and soft in the inside. The sauce and meat tasted great too. We also ordered corn dogs off the happy hour menu - the cornbread around the dog itself was thinner than I'm used to in a normal corn dog, which I liked! It was a good bread to meat ratio and the sauce was excellent. For our main, we got the bang bang burrito and the birria tacos. The burrito was delicious. Super flavorful and the side salad was good too. Loved the dressing. The birria tacos were not the best I've ever had. The tacos themselves were good, and the side of beans was solid. Just the consommé was very oily. Very enjoyable experience overall. Definitely would return.

We instead focused on the Plate of Nations menu which was $35 serves 2 people - basically the MLK neighborhood version of restaurant week. - Chips and salsa and queso - the chips were decent but the salsa was thick in texture, which is not really my preference. I liked the cheese and wish they gave more than just a small sauce cup - Chicken wings - we got the honey butter and it was great - Fried Brussels sprouts - also very delicious. Amazing execution of the appetizers - Enchiladas - this is where it went downhill. The sauce was bitter and the chicken was a bit dry - Tacos - basically kind of like Taco Bell but with fresher ingredients. Happy hour it's like $12 for 2 tacos which is quite a ripoff (and extra $4-5 surcharge for other proteins beyond ground beef and chicken...) - Rice was good but I was barely able to eat the beans as it was not that good I got the raspberry mint caipirinha for the cocktail and it was really refreshing. I loved the muddled fruit that I decided to pour water into the cup as an infused water after finishing the drink In addition we had the tajin-dusted fried zucchini and that was good. I love the creamy green chile sauce which acted as a nice dip for the chips because they were so stingy with the queso dip. For dessert we tried the sopapillas which is quite airy and it's nice to try it sweet instead of savory. Service is really slow. It took us almost 3 hours to finish the meal, with lots of waiting in between courses. This needs to be improved

    cute neighborhood spot for breakfast or lunch in the greenlake vicinity…read more the menu has a pretty even mix of mexican and traditional american breakfast fare but i was drawn in by the plantains so ordered katracho minus the chorizo (they grilled some tomatoes for me as a substitute.) they were fairly busy for a sunday morning and one observation i had when the food came to the table was the differing temperatures of items. my eggs were not hot but the plantains were, indicating some things had been sitting around while others had been recently prepared. the beans were in a small cup in the middle and had good flavor but also lukewarm. i didn't expect everything listed in the menu to be cut and arranged around the plate as it was. this dish had a toast or coffee cake side order and opted for sourdough; there was raspberry freezer jam on the take. taste-wise the dish was good and the service was fine. all in all, while it wasn't a standout experience it was totally acceptable on a number of levels and others appeared to be enjoying the location's offerings as well.
