Excellent stop Always!! Great food, drink and oh the cinnamon rolls (plate size at that). This stop we had the Baby Back Ribs and the Green Enchiladas with pork. All cooked to perfection. Sides with the ribs we had were baked beans (nice little flavor kick to the sauce) and a delicious crunchy cole slaw. The pinto beans with the enchiladas had very good flavor also. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Took the cinnamon roll home to split between 4 of us adults there - these are a hit in flavor, texture and size. Prices are very good. 1 never leaves here hungry. Their Cadillac margaritas match our favorite place in quality to San Diego, CA. Will be back soon. Our Favorite in Everett read more

The place to go for a quick snack! Great folks, amazing food, easy service

Yum! I've definitely enjoyed tacos and margaritas here after work, but my favorite meal to come for is BRUNCH! I typically agonize over the menu for several minutes before ultimately settling on the same thing yet again: the chicken fried steak. And I never have ANY regrets. It's a huge serving of deliciousness, topped off with gravy. Add a giant mimosa. You will not be hungry for the rest of the day GUARANTEED. I've stolen bites of my children's pancakes and French toast, and those are also top notch. The only downside I've encountered is that they are sometimes out of menu items, but there are always plenty of other options if this happens. read more

I used to love their smoked chicken enchilada. I was there yesterday and ordered just that. While it was much bigger than back a long time ago, it just wasn't nearly as good. It was bland, and although I only ate about 1/3 of it, I ended up pulling a couple of bones out of my mouth. One small enough it could have been swallowed and the other about 2". My husband ate the remainder and there were more bones. Probably won't get that again. I hope for a better experience the next time. read more

So, we've been talking about trying this place for months. The wife had an appointment in the area, so we thought tonight was as good of night as any to give it a whirl. As we walked in we were imediatly greeted by the owner. She mentioned that they were closed today, but open for a fund raiser for her son that past away 11 years ago. Menu was very limited but found a few things that could fill our bellies. We ordered the carne asada burrito and and smoked chicken enchilada. They were both delicious. We will definitely be back to try the full menu. Service was spot on with a family friendly vibe. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. I had the smoked chicken enchilada with a side of cornbread. My wife had three chicken tacos. Then we had the sopapillas for dessert. The service was very good. Waitress and waiter were very attentive. The amount of food you get is HUGE! I would definitely come back. read more

This is not Mexican food. I came in and order pozole And it was creamy very nasty!! I'm sorry to say but people that say this is good you don't know what Mexican food is. I can't believe these people still charged me for something I dint even eat I was in the restaurant a hole 10 min. 100 % no good!!!! read more

As a New Mexican, I was so excited to see this place in Everett. I only stopped in for the giant cinnamon rolls and a coffee on a cold Sunday morning. I saw green chile stew go by and it was legit. We will be back enchiladas and their whole menu after we get our shots or the patio is open. Thanks for making this new mexican feel at home. read more

Staff was super friendly and the food was fantastic! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of how loud it was in there. I guess you would call it a party atmosphere, which some people love so, maybe they deserve five stars? I have to be in the mood to go there, otherwise we would go there more often. read more

We dine out often. Enormous portions aren't really our gig, I'd much rather have amazing food over quantity. We waited 45 minutes to get our meals. It was over 20 minutes after being seated to get water, drinks, & menu's. We had a reservation or I'd of walked out. There is no waiting area so anyone hoping for a seat stands at the door & stares at you. The service was very friendly but as other reviews mention, you can see the disorganization in the logistics of who does what. As for my food, there was so much cumin in my carne Asada burrito that I didn't enjoy it at all. The margaritas were good, they don't offer a blended version (bummer) which I prefer. We probably will not eat here again because there are so many other good Mexican restaurants we prefer. read more

I am giving this place a five for wonderful hospitality!! The hosted my best friends rehearsal dinner on their beautiful back patio! The back patio was quaint with an amazing fire place. We had tacos and a taco casserole of sorts. The the taco casserole was right up my alley although it s the type of food you can only eat a bit of before filing up. I call it heavy food! The hospitality was unparallel. The drinks were flowing and it was just a great time! Fun and unique place to have a rehearsal dinner!!! This place is great for large parties if you uses the back room. Parking: street parking! Tipsy pro: large margaritas and good beer selection. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Before you go, look up New Mexican food on wikipedia to be informed. I am working my way through the menu items before trying the specials. The "hot dog" is a kielbasa in a homemade roll. About 14 inches long. very good. The wilted greens are fantastic. The Rio burger is massive and quite yummy. Try the red enchiladas. The red sauce is wonderful. (enchilada = w/ chili sauce) Go. Eat. Explore. Enjoy. (ps. get a Bloody Mary) read more

My family has found our new favorite restaurant! The decor was warm, cute and filled with New Mexico trinkets. The margaritas were so good I had 2!!! The kids menu choices were the perfect size for my kids and plated nicely. My taco salad was great and sooo spicy! My husband had the enchiladas and loved them. We love going to New Mexico 1-2 times a year, and to find a place with great food that takes us back there without a plane ticket is a true find!!! read more

So I went on an afternoon that it wasn't that busy I literally walked in and was seated within minutes. They clean the table in front of me everybody had masks on. I just had a glass of water to drink. The ordering part was the longest. It took about 15 minutes to have the waitress realize that I hadn't even been helped yet. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and a side bowl of posole. Seem like forever before I got my food. When it came the sandwich was on a different plate then the fries. I had to prop my plate up so that all the liquid from the sandwich could drain down and not make the bun soggy. They also served the posole with the sandwich which I had made it clear that I wanted it as a starter. When the posole came it was more like a chunky thick Denton stew straight out of the can. I grew up in Colorado and New Mexico and have never seen Posole as thick as that oh did I mention I actually cook posole myself so I know better. The sandwich itself wasn't that great. When the waitress saw that I had hardly touched my Cup of posole she actually took it off my bill. I took the rest of my sandwich and some fries in a go container. When I got to the next stop in my itinerary I threw it all in the trash because I knew I wasn't going to eat it. Such a shame I had high hopes for this restaurant reading all the good reviews. I can tell you one thing I will not go back it was definitely a disappointment. read more

The New Mexicans is one of my favorite Southwestern joint North of Seattle. The location is clean, the decor is nice, cozy interior & exterior, amazing food & service, superb baked goods (the cinnamon rolls are to die for), friendly staff and the best breakfast burritos in the area. If you're looking for a superb Southwestern joint then The New Mxicans is the right choice. read more

Some notes here: is everything here perfect? Nah. Is it great and enjoyable? Yup. First: their guacamole game is STRONG. Easily the best guacamole I've had at a restaurant - it's chunky, because dammit soupy guac is for people who pronounce it (Gwak-a-mo-lee), has a balanced acidity from limes, onion and tomato for a little sweetness, and perfectly seasoned. Served with flour tortilla chips. Excellent. Reminds me of my family's recipe. Second: their brisket is super good. I just got back from a trip to Kansas City and was told I had to have BBQ there and the brisket sandwich was miles better than anything I had in KCMO. It is well smoked, a touch of chile, and sauced perfectly. The brisket is tender with just enough bite to remind you you're eating meat, and served on a soft house made bun. Third: their enchiladas are pretty good. I had two red enchiladas with two sunny side up eggs (holy crap, perfectly cooked. I'm not sure I've had a more perfectly cooked sunny side up egg. No browning on the bottom and perfect yolks. No joke). This dish was a bit off balanced and bland- it was mostly that smoky sort of chile spicy you find in meh chipotle. I got medium heat which was just the right amount of spicy to feel the heat but to still be able to appreciate the flavors. I actually had to ask for some limes to add some acidity to the dish, which significantly improved it. Shoutout to the server who was inundated with a full lobby and was crushing it by herself for getting me some lime wedges and keeping us well taken care of. Fourth: kid friendly in a nice way. We were able to let our kids play on their little stuff next to the faux fireplace and they were relatively well contained. Our kids are super energetic and rambunctious but they were gracious with us. The decor is a little kitschy and such but everything made up for it. The overall tastiness of the food, the freshness of it, the solid cooking skills and service led to a good experience. We'll be back. Also, the Reese's creme pie is so damn good. Took some home for later but holy biscuits, Batman, it's so tasty. My one complaint - the pride in hatch chiles is everywhere and I can't get a friggin chile relleno? How is this not on the menu?!? Easily one of the best, most chile forward dishes possible, and it's so New Mexican/Eastern Arizonan I can't handle it. That said, I can't be mad at them for a thing they've chosen not to serve, but I really want a well made hatch chile relleno up here (I grew up in hatch chile country, where everyone stands on the side of the road roasting chiles and sells them by the 25lb bag) and walking in, I thought I'd found my spot. Oh well, ya live and learn. read more

We were finally able to come here again and enjoyed our lunch: the "Christmas Tree", with eggs and beans. So fabulous. We know that the servings are huge, so we shared this meal. Didn't have room for pie - next time! read more

How have I not reviewed this place yet? Found it a couple years back when I really wanted Biscuits and Gravy. I drove all the way from Seattle that day... that and the amazing food this place has kept me coming back ever since. Of course the service here is lovely too. Seat yourself atmosphere. Was in the area today and I got the Loco Moco with the Fried Chicken Steak hands down one of the best I have ever had. Delicious. My friend got a breakfast burrito. That thing was huge! Def. could share between two people. Love this place. I tell everyone to come here!! read more

I am striving to take the trophy of the best Yelp review ever but English was not my first language ... This place is a hidden gem! Here are the reasons I am raving about it... The mushroom soup was so delicious and I thinks it's scratch made. Also it was extra warm just like what I have asked for...:) you will be surprised how many times I have luke warm soup at the other restaurant. Open kitchen for pastries I.e. The famous Cinnamon rolls. when I was there the owner was training them about baking- passion for making good food was in the air!:) New Mexican hot sauce was delicious! It was spicy but not too much that suffocate you. Still was complimentary to the food. They offer half pour wine for the alcoholic wannabes. Not a standard thing but good to know that you can ask for it. Looks like they have a happy hour going on 3-6 as well with their... Full bar I was the first one showed up at 10 am and still was able to order anything I the menu. Again many other restaurants are super strict on that I say they might just have power tripped chefs. Suggestions so you will reach perfection: 1. Please get the wifi working for us geeks 2. Please offer a cocktail named after "truth or consequences" and spaceport America :) read more

Amazing breakfast burrito!! Huge portion!! Definitely best breakfast burrito around. Cinnamon roll is also amazing

A truly horrible food experience. You will leave feeling 10lbs heavier & confident that everything you just put in your body was terrible for you - to add insult to injury, it doesn't even taste good. You can't just throw stale chips in the deep fried over and over again to give them new life. Dense, greasy, gross. The "queso" tastes like melted velveeta & a can of tomatoes. The green chili stew was like Campbell's beef stew + 3 chilis + a couple spoonfuls of salsa. The enchilada was inedible (and came with a side of pinto beans, no seasoning, just open the can, microwave, put on a plate). The server neglected to inform me that making it a chicken enchilada instead of just congealed cheese would almost double the price. $5 enchilada + $4 for a couple mouthfuls of chicken. The food was like a cringy cooking show challenge: can you make "Mexican" food from fall out shelter ingredients with a 20+ year shelf life? You can, but why would you want to? We left our food almost completely untouched, sever didn't ask how our meal was - I wouldn't either. The only positive is their cornbread was surprisingly delicious. I heard someone raving about their desserts. Maybe they should reopen as a bakery because they should absolutely throw in the towel as a restaurant. read more

Went to the New Mexicans for breakfast on Saturday and all of the food was amazing. Their hand made cinnamon rolls are to die for. Highly recommend. read more

My cousin came into town and we all decided to come here for breakfast today. My husband and my cousin split a breakfast burrito and I ordered the Loco Moco with a hamburger bacon patty. When I received my plate I noticed there was blood streaming down my gravy. I cut into my burger and it was completely raw and bloody. I showed the waitress and she took it back. My husband and cousin ate all their food by the time mine was delivered again. Barely any gravy and it was soooo sweet I could barely eat it. I've had it in the past and it was delicious. Completely unsatisfied this time. I've had loco moco at other places and it's usually served with brown gravy or a gravy that isn't so sweet. Everything else was great including the homemade chips and their queso was great too. read more

The New Mexicans is a different kind of place and that is mostly a good thing. It isn't really a New Mexican restaurant though it does feature some new mexican dishes. The menu lists enchiladas, chicken and dumplings, BBQ sandwiches, hamburger, and hot dogs. It seems like the restaurant theme is just the best dishes from the kitchen of some one who grew up in New Mexico. We ordered: sopapillas, green enchiladas, red enchiladas, chicken and dumplings, and wilted lettuce. We started with the wilted lettuce. It is one of my favorites from child hood. Here, they combined mustard with bacon and put it over lettuce. My dish from child hood was red wine vinegar and bacon over lettuce. I was left wanting something different but it could just be due to the bias of my grandma's terrific wilted lettuce from years ago. The sopapillas were terrific. The honey butter was terrific on their delicious fried crust. The enchiladas answered the age old question: "red or green." The green enchiladas are notably better than the red. The chiles and cheese were pefectly balanced in the green enchiladas. The red enchiladas were fine but nothing really stood out with them. The chicken and dumplings were in a white gravy-like broth. The suace was thick and pretty good but the dish could use some more seasoning. This place is a do over. It's fun and different. read more

Me and my husband decided to try this place out. We came in and sat at the bar and waited about 20 minutes before we even got acknowledged by anyone. There were only two waiters/ bartenders. The male, Johnny finally decided to ask us what we wanted since the older, bleached blonde/ messy / short haired waitress completely ignored us even though we were seated directly in front of her. She literally ignored us ALL night even though we were seated right in front of her. I was completely shocked at her lack of professionalism and am really surprised that someone like this would be employed in the service industry. She did however, greet the customer that came in right after us and sat her next to us while she continued to ignore us. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which was quite tasty but a bit dry and I ordered the carne asada burrito which was good but had very little carne asada. In fact it was cut up so small that I could have sworn it was ground beef drowned in cheese and mostly beans and rice but still tasted pretty decent. In the restaurant industry, service is EVERYTHING. I felt bad for Johnny because not only was he serving all the other tables but he had to go out of his way to take our order and our drinks because this lady just couldn't be bothered with us. I have never been treated this way in any restaurant I have ever been to. Needless to say I will never return and am surprised that this restaurant still decides to keep this kind of employee since I have scrolled down and read similar reviews for this lady. read more

Let me preface this by saying, I myself am from New Mexico--that's where I grew up. So I was really excited to try The New Mexicans and get some authentic New Mexican food! I really was not disappointed! A friend and I visited together, and the food was really good. She got a huevos rancheros and I got a red enchilada. The only downside was I had expected a New Mexican red enchilada to be smothered in authentic red chile, but it was not I don't think. Just a typical red enchilada sauce. Not bad, though! I loved the decor and it really made me miss home. The service was very fast and there was plenty of seating inside. The staff were all very kind and we're looking forward to going back again! Especially when I need some authentic green chile, which I think they did have. Yum! read more

We dropped in here tonight for a quick bite of dinner. It was very pleasant in appearance. Casual New Mexico style decor. The waitress seated us quickly in the lounge area at the front of the place because the rest of the seating is tall stools which I wasn't sure I was ready for. The menu is rather small as befits a new place. The prices are moderate. Five dollars for green enchilada and eight for a bbq brisket sandwich. Two bucks for refillable cokes. The enchilada, casserole style, was not hot when it came. They were most apologetic and took it right back and heated it up. The sandwich was fine. We will go back when they have had time to smooth out their operation a little and try some more of the menu items. read more

I like the concept but the food and service have a long way to go. My buddy and I decided to hit this place up while visiting the Everette area. The restaurant was packed but luckily two seats at the bar opened up when we walked in. FOOD: We placed our order with the waitress. As the food rolled out, there were a lot of issues. Parts of our orders were missing due to the ticket being wrong from the computer. ordered the Green Chile Stew. The flavor was okay but a lot of spice which led me to believe they use real green chiles. The consistency was clumpy almost as if they used corn starch as a thickener. We sat and watched a fly land/take off a few times on uncovered cinnamon rolls that were sitting how for an unknown amount of time. SERVICE: Our actual service was fine but sitting there for 45 minutes watching the inefficiencies and lack of leadership was exhausting. Everyone seemed to do everything. The employees had a hard time figuring out what orders went to what table. I overheard multiple orders needing to be fixed. I believe my buddy got someone elses order. It was just a chaotic mess. It seemed very chaotic. read more

I had dinner at this restaurant as we walked by and they looked busy. I had the Christmas tree and I thought it was a very messy plate loaded with food. The 2 red enchiladas were not interesting. The green enchilada was good, but it was not special. My buddy got the smoked brisket/ or meat sandwich as said it was fine. The service was great! And the staff were very friendly. The food just was not our favorite. read more

One of my favorite places in Everett, WA. I don't know how to explain the food. I guess it is Tex-mex? Nevertheless, anything you order here is awesome! Evie and her family make everything from the biscuits and cornbread from scratch. Awesome food and awesome people!!!! read more

I have been going to the New Mexican since they opened. I love the new owner and how she is so nice and treats everyone with joy. What I am concerned with his the pozole. 2 months ago I ordered the pozole it had no flavor, or pork, no hominy, just broth. I got the attention of the mgr and he replaced it quickly and sent me home with a goodly potion. he explained it was not stirred and the only took off of the top of the soup vat. What I tasted when I got home was bland flavor water but with bits of pork and hominy. Yesterday I ordered the pozole again and once again there was just the broth. Maybe the cook should taste what they are serving and add salt and flavoring accordingly because that pozole broth tasted like water. I am very disappointed but not giving up, because everything else is wonderful. read more

Uninspired. Burrito tasted bitter like someone forgot to add anything but chili powder. I came with two of my EMTs in uniform, on shift. As we're always subject to respond to a 911 call, we requested food to go. To my amazement, they charged 18% gratuity...for takeout!! Normally, when I'm in uniform, with my ambulance parked across the street, people offer freebies (which I turn down bc it would be unethical)... These knuckle heads charge extra!!! Stay away EMS read more

I cannot say enough good things about this spot!! I was here for happy hour, sipping delicious wine while my dining partners chugged margaritas! We ordered the pulled pork sliders which were loaded with smokey, delicious pork. Being new to the restaurant, I foolishly avoided the buns, thinking that they were just store-bought. Instead, everything is baked there in the restaurant!!! I ordered the hot dog, and the first thing that I tasted was the pillowy, doughy, buttery bun. Again: made in-house!!! The hot dog was a smoked kielbasa. I think this is the first time that the hot dog bun was the star of the show!!! Wow. Our server, Candace, was so sweet and funny. It was a great night. read more

This was a bit of a surprise going through Everett a month or so ago. Really delicious enchiladas with red Chile sauce and tasty, albeit greasy chips. While I am not the biggest fan of Pico De Gallo, this one was really flavorful, as was the guacamole. It's not Mexican food, it's New Mexican food, and while the owner definitely has flair (some reviews said attitude ) I found the owner to be really nice, unlike a place I went to in New Jersey where I never even made it to the table. read more

AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COSTS! The lone star is for the waitress that helped us. And that's it. If I could give zero stars for the food I would! First let me start by saying this was my first time here, and my girlfriends first time. The decor is ok, seems Southwest enough. We ordered two "scratch" margaritas because it was happy hour. I use the word scratch loosely. The mix seemed old, or...something. It was off. We took this as a one off, and continued to order. She ordered the smoked chicken enchilada and I ordered the Christmas tree with carne asada. The Christmas tree is supposed to be two red sauce enchilada and one green sauce enchilada topped with two eggs. Then you get to choose your own sauce (that they make from scratch apparently). I chose the hottest version sauce called New Mexico sauce. The plates come out and her plate is loaded with a massive enchilada topped with cheese, a promising sign! Mine comes out with....idk how to explain it. One enchilada looked normal, the other two looks open face? I thought how odd. The carne asada was cut into very very small cubes and was only about 3 oz of meat, if that. Why was the meat an extra charge for $6? So I tried the Christmas tree. Nothing, I couldn't taste anything. I looked at my girlfriend who had just taken her first bite and I asked her, is yours bland too? She said, all I can taste is the cheese...so we tried a few more bites. I tried a bite of hers, and she tried a bite of mine. Both of us agreed that there was no flavor on anything besides the "hot" sauce. The smoked chicken tasted like it was chicken out of a can. The pinto beans on the side tasted as if they were dumped out of a can, no seasonings either. And the eggs!!! The two sunny side eggs on top of the Christmas tree didn't even have salt or pepper. It was truly the most bland dishes I've ever tasted. We told our waitress that everything was bland and we would just like our check for the drinks. She obliged. Once the check was delivered is where things got interesting. A man came up and asked about the smoke chicken. I said, it was bland and tasted like canned chicken. He said well I'm the owner and it's my best seller and I've never had complaints. I just went back and tasted the sauces and the chicken and it tastes amazing. I said, ok, well it's bland. He then said well it's not for everyone and then promptly turned around and left. How unprofessional! I will literally never visit this awful "restaurant" again. And I plead everyone else to avoid at all costs too. Idk how it has even stayed in business this long if that's the food, and that's the owner. Bullshit. read more

This place is legit NM food. I grew up in NM and miss NM chile like a drowning man misses air. The huevos isn't what I grew up with but is close. The green chile stew is actually better than almost any back in Albuquerque. They smoke their own meats and the addition of smoked pork tales this classic dish to the next level. Sopapillas, hell yeah! hot and pillowy and of course honey. cornbread? Not anything New Mexican to see here but damn is it good. I didn't think anyone not from NM could do justice to NM food but my world view got shattered. read more
