The Rio burger is on point. One of the best burgers in this side of town. Customer service is always on point. Will be back to try the menus. read more

Great place good staff. Fast service and good atmosphere. Would love to try again maybe on a less busier day.

My wife ordered the red, I the green enchiladas. Better than what you'd typically get at a Mexican restaurant. However, naming the place The New Mexicans sets an awfully high bar. My wife, fresh from a trip to Salt Lake, with the mole from Red Iguana not yet wiped off her chin, seemed to agree. Friendly, comfortable and reasonably priced. read more

As with all first timers, I learned that The New Mexicans refers to the state of New Mexico and its unique blend of Western and Mexican cuisine. The New Mexicans is a casual, seat yourself place with deep leather sofas in front, tables in the middle, and a long bar for diners in the back. Sweet and unsweet tea are served with pitchers on the bar for self-refills (particularly handy if you overdo it on the spices). Food comes either "Washington Hot" (fairly mild) or "New Mexico Hot" (just like it sounds). The daily specials are always worth checking; if the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas are available, don't miss them! The Red Enchiladas and pulled brisket remain my favorites from the main menu. read more

This place is still fun and the food is great. Some Sundays this place is so slammed its hard to get a seat, even at the bar. Hanna, the server who always seems to be there on Sunday simply never stops running to keep up. Try the green chile stew when you go. read more

The New Mexicans - Excellent pulled pork sandwich w/ mac n cheese - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Everett, Washington

I will try to be accurate here, we went there last weekend and it was terrible and I was grossed out! They had huge cinnamon rolls, and bacon just sitting out for an hour and a half while we were there and made no effort to protect them while we were there. When I asked what they were going to do with the bacon she said they use it in all the food they serve! NASTY!! She really acted as if she had no clue how to run a business to be honest. Oh ya we did not even get our food yet! Then the owner told me it would be another hour and a half before we were to get our food! Ugh! That was bad enough but if you as a patron have hours to spend looking around the place it can be bad. The walls, mirrors, outlets and shelves looked as though they have not cleaned the place since the new owners have taken over. Enough said, we will never go back and "no" we left before our food came. read more

Me and some friends went here a week ago and we were treated amazingly as soon as we walked in. We sat in the back and the husband of the owner(educated guess) came out and made us feel right at home. The food was amazing and the portion size was the best I can remember having at a restaurant. Before we even received the food I knew that this place was going to be a future favorite. I don't usually write reviews but this place is a must. Had the Chicken fried Steak and it was HUGE and AMAZING read more

Ordered smoked chicken enchiladas, and they were out. So I ordered the pulled pork with sweet sauce. The other option was jalapeño sauce. My fiancé ordered baby back ribs. After a 45 minute wait, my sandwich came out on a large plate by itself.. it looked kind of odd. After a few minutes my fiancé's food hadn't come out so I decided to try the pork. I immediately knew that they gave me the jalapeño bbq sauce rather than what I ordered. At first, I was going to go ahead and eat it because I really do like hot food. But then... it got hotter. And hotter. And hotter. And then painful. I downed an entire glass of water and my coke immediately trying to get some relief. I can not believe that a restaurant could serve something this hot. I gave my fiancé a bite (sanity check) long story short - we left immediately and our mouths were literally burning all the way home to Seattle. Never again. read more

We visit this place quite often. They have a few vegan options but could definitely have more. The taco salad is very good and comes in a fun shell. The only negative was that it was freezing inside the restaurant so definitely bring a jacket. Other than that, this place is great. read more

I got the green enchilada ( vegetarian) and a house margarita. Botg were different from any ive ever had before. Not too spicey but just spicey enough!Pretty cozy little place in everett. The only thing that turned me off was the servers ( hate to say it!!) But they all seemed to be arguing constantly. The place is very open so u are in very close quarters with the staff. Good food but the atmosphere felt hostile! read more

I'm In town for the week and I ordered the Mac n cheese with chicken for extra 4$. The Mac was decent but the 4$ chicken was bland/dry and random just sitting on top instead of mixed in. Overall not bad but not good either. Great carrot cake though! Service was decent but don't think I'll be back. read more

Great place Michelle behind the bar/ prep area was super nice and very helpful in my beer selection we had the nachos and pork sliders as far as I can tell everything made from scratch super good the bread was from scratch also had a shot which was right for the price if you haven't been here stop by pretty sure you leave full and with a smile on your face also I got to watch them make the biggest enchiladas I've ever seen gonna have that next time for sure !!! read more

Had a bad experience here today. Service is always slow but I'm willing to forgive since it's a small place. My boyfriend ordered a quesadilla but received an enchilada. Then they brought the wrong check to the table. Then we got a salad for takeout and they forgot a main ingredient in it, which I didn't realize until it was too late. Terrible service today, this place needs to work on better quality! read more

We go to this place often and everytime we go we are happy. They have remodeled the place with new seating since the shut down and the inside is still very nice. The staff is great, the food is great, you just need to know that you have to have a big appitite or your taking the rest home. The price is very good. If you go later in the day the cadilac margaritas are great !. Keep up the good work !! read more

Initially, my wife and I were excited to try out this place...being that we just moved up here from New Mexico. But sadly, that's where the excitement and or pleasantries ended with this place. It wasn't too crowed so we found a table rather quickly. We were greeted and given water rather quickly by a person who wasn't out waitress. Our waitress finally arrived to take our drink order after about 15 minutes of waiting. No big deal as of yet. They had four specials listed on their message board, we ordered two of the four, only to find out they were out of those dishes. We then selected two "regular" meals on the menu, only to find out they didn't have one of the dishes as well. Eventually, we decided to simply enjoy a burrito and split it. Keeping in mind that our party consisted of three, a total of two plates were being ordered, it took, wait for it...1 hour 15 minutes to get our food. Now, if the restaurant were very busy, or even slightly busy, I might understand a backup in the kitchen, however, there were only two other parties of three in the restaurant, of which had already received their food. Over an hour waiting on our food only. No one else had ordered since our arrival. After finally getting our carne adovada burrito, the taste was just as bad as the wait. The burrito was 90% rice with almost nothing else. In my large half, I found three pea-sized pieces of beef. No exaggerating. Three. My wife fared slightly better at four pieces. As far as the taste of the chili, it was very lackluster...spicy only because of the amount of chili powder used. Try to imagine taking a teaspoonful of red chili powder, mixing with a little water, then spreading over whatever food. It simply had zero imagination or complex tastes. Bland with too much Safeway bought chili powder. Service was awful, kitchen speed was even worse, and taste, well, was the worst part of the evening. As we exited, we left around the same time as another couple. They too said their food took just short of an hour to arrive. Sadly, it wasn't just us disappointed in the New Mexicans. Based on other reviews, the service is either a hit or miss. read more

Great pulled pork (sweet sauce) my hubby and I shared that along with a side of bean and the baked corn bread. So yummy! The cinnamon rolls, the best ever, I used to think Cinnabon was great this has won me over ten times! A must have. You must go, You must try, you will not be disappointed. read more

See all

I really wanted to like this place. The food was decent and reasonably priced but the service was chaotic at best and RIDICULOUSLY slow. It was a full hour from the time we sat down to time we got our food. It honestly seemed like the waiter had a grudge against us because several groups came in after us and he took their orders and brought their food before he even took our order. I will put up with crappy service if the food is spectacular but their food DEFINITELY wasn't. Don't waste your time. Go to El Paraiso. The food is pretty much the same and service is miles better. read more

Service and food great. Don't drink and drive after two of their margaritas. Huge portions so forget weight watchers for a few days

Just had lunch there with all my kids and the staff were amazing!! Felt alittle bad for them all running around but they were super understanding! Plus there Loco Moco was on point! My buddy say the best since being back home in Hawaii! Y'all are amazing!! read more

When we tried out this popular place, we didn't want to end up waiting since we were really hungry and my husband will write a place off for slow service or long waits. I called ahead and she said there was plenty of seating. When we got there, there were no tables but the owner lady put us at the end of another family's table. She recommended the nachos which I ordered and my husband ordered breakfast. We both enjoyed the food but my nachos were pretty spicy. I probably should have gone mild instead of medium but they tasted good. Looking forward to trying more food sometime. read more

The New Mexicans is kind of a hole in the wall place. The food is always good but what gets them 5 stars is the fact they are a super friendly family run business who provide excellent service read more

False advertisement about the chili, it was not spicy. I think the name of the restaurant is misleading, I was hoping for a more authentic feel but it was more like a breakfast/bar cafe. I had green enchilada, the beans were bland, the only thing great was the cheese. I liked the atmosphere but not as expected read more

All of the food really tastes amazing and there's lots of it. They do mean it when you may be advised to split your meal. Great stuff

I very much wanted to like this place, after hearing good reviews. My experience was unfortunately poor. The systems and service was incredibly unorganized. None directs you when you walk in, it's utter chaos. I witnessed many tables not serviced for long periods of time, but not due to a lack of employees. The waitress quickly smeared the dirty table around with a gross towel. Yuk! The owner was there acknowledging that people were under serviced, but not doing a whole lot to make the experience better. Both of our drinks were brought to us incorrect. The meat in both the pork and brisket bbq was decent, except for the cold hard buns. read more

I'm not exactly sure what to say about this place other than I would not spend my own money here . their patio was not open when we went, so why were there so many flies swarming in their establishment ? Strange. Their inner dining area is okay, service is fine. Their food is just mediocre. I know most Mexican food is made ahead of time and this place is no exception , most of their stuff doesn't even taste like it's been made freshly. As a cook myself I could tell the eggs were just saved from the morning probably when they opened and kept under a warmer. I guess Mexican food is not expected to be fresh in the first place. Their nachos here are really weird. They put the chips on one side with black olives (is that a New Mexican thing ?) , so anyway.. they have black olives with their carne Asada on top that looks like corn beef hash. It doesn't even taste like carne asada and the texture is just completely different it's more like dog food. So the toppings of the nachos are black olives , the meat & guacamole and the sour cream (small dollop) and then on the side of the plate in a seperate plate they put beans and cheese all melted . So technically there is NO cheese melted on top of the chips. I've never had nachos like that before. They should specify that onto their menu for people who don't know because I wouldn't even respectively call that a nacho. Another thing is the little flies would get into/ near our water and have to swat them away. I know it's summer in Washington but someone needs to do something about that. That's not clean looking . Another thing was the beans that came with the cheese melted on top tasted wrong. It didn't taste like the cheese was fresh and it gave off a weird moldy sponge smell and taste. I tried to tell the workers about it so the next person wouldn't have to eat something that tasted strange. My friend really likes this restaurant and I'm not sure what to think about the place I would have to try something else to change my mind but their cuisine is not impressive in any way for me to return . It didn't taste consumable to me I was pretty grossed out just in general read more

Okay first of all let's just talk about cute, cozy, and quaint!!! I visited this place for breakfast on my trip to visit my best friend. She is a regular there and was super excited to take me and I now know why! The place had a very at home feel with western like decor. Our server was very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. We opted to share a cinnamon roll as an appetizer and it was the most AMAZING, taste filled, warm, and delicious cinnamon roll I had ever had the pleasure of allowing my taste buds to experience(also might I add it was huge)!! Afterwards I indulged in their soft and succulent pancakes(also huge), scrambled eggs and bacon. I'm not sure where they got the bacon or how they cooked it, but it tasted like gold lol, the eggs were scrambled perfectly and everything about the food was perfect. Again the staff was friendly, but not the over bearing and fake kind of friendly, but just actual real people who were genuine and enjoyed their atmosphere. This place is on my must visit again list and should be on yours too!! read more

The New Mexicans - Pretty sure Jesus crafted this with his bare hands lol - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Everett, Washington

The New Mexicans is unreasonably delicious. I was blown away by how good this food tasted. I had Chili with Cornbread. First, the bowl was enormous, like 3 pounds of chili, I asked for their spicy New Mexican Red and it didn't disappoint. I love a food that makes you sweat when you eat it. My wife was equally impressed with the tacos and the mild sauce. Also worth noting is the atmosphere. They treat you like a member of the family, from the moment we walked in to when we left. Lastly, we ended with this amazing Sopapilla. It was my first and I feel like I will be craving theses more than is reasonable for this sort of thing. My only complaint is that they are not back home. Seriously, it is worth the 6 hour drive from Portland to eat here. read more

The place is a classy Mexican restaurant that is pretty busy most of the time. The food is great with generous portions. Not super authentic, but good. Kids friendly. Large families. ADA accessibile. The decor is inviting and more of a fusion of Americana and Washington. Definitely a good stop in Everett. read more

This place had 4 stars so decided to give it a try. Highly disappointed! There were 2 of us and we had a burger and 3 tacos. Tacos had cheddar cheese and lettuce with carna asada. The meat was bland, too much lettuce and the cheese was too much for the taco. The burger looked very nice but just had too much stuff (lettuce, pickles, etc.) to actually fit in your mouth. The meat was well done and not much flavor. One last pint, it cost just over $28 for food that was not worth $10 in my opinion. read more

OH MAN, YES. Fresh ingredients, good portions and very homie vibe. Great music too! I really liked this place and the corn bread is definitely a must. A++ I'll be back! read more

Nice looking place, pretty cute. The "New Owner" sat us outside on the patio since the place was packed and told us we would have to come place our orders at the bar inside when we were ready because there are no servers for the patio. She also told us they would bring us water (they never did). She was amazingly friendly and polite. We placed our orders. The guy taking the order said "is that even on the menu?" and we had to show him. We thought, maybe he's new.. whatever that's ok. Our food began coming out, the guy asked, what did you order again? We tell him. He brings one more plate, and then tells me "one of the other stupid servers took your food and gave it to someone else, she thought it was hers so we are making a new one", I said ok... that's fine... I thought well, it is kinda busy, things happen. While waiting for the rest of our food, the guy is at another table on the patio trying to flirt with the ladies there, bringing them giant blue drinks and them saying "we didn't order this" and responses of "its on the house, you are the hottest people I have seen in here". Trying to earn a good tip? I don't know, I don't care, I just wanted dinner for me and my 2 teenagers. After he is done talking to them, he comes by our table again, I let him know we are still missing a few items, he then says "are you sure you even ordered that?" we reply "yes" he replies "I'm going to check my order ticket" as if we were making it up. He brought the items without saying if he "checked his ticket" so I assume it was on the ticket. Finally, he brings me a plate, I look at it, I ask him, is this nachos? or a taco salad? He says "OH SHIT my bad, good call, those are nachos I'll be right back". He comes back with the taco salad, says sorry about the mix up and again blames the other servers for messing up his food then goes on to explain how he should not even be bringing us food, "just so you know, when it's busy like this next time you come in you will have to get your own food, I'm doing you a favor this time though, I shouldn't have to bring this to you." At that point I bit my tongue from telling him we will never be back again so no worries. We ordered cinnamon rolls when we ordered the rest of the food, he stopped by again saying "just come yell at me when you guys want those" which we said ok. A few minutes later he brings them in togo boxes and sets them on the table. At that point I told him just bring boxes for the rest of the food. I realized this is not the most family friendly place, my teenagers are older and not shocked by cursing, but for lack of vocabulary or what I don't know, this guy nonstop cursed each time he came by the table, even just passing by, talking to himself, always cursing. Also, if the new owner is reading this, your staff goes out the back patio door multiple times to smoke, it's not cigarettes. I'm guessing they are trying to get away with it since you are new. The servers name was Travis. The Food: - Baked Beans: I'm sure some people like these, more of a chili than the normal baked beans my kids expected, they didn't like it. Not horrible, just not what was expected. - Burger: pretty simple, giant burger, way too much ketchup but otherwise it was normal. - Bean Burrito: Looked kind of burnt on the outside to me but my daughter liked it. - Taco Salad: I disliked the meat, the shell was great if only there wasn't like, a soup in the bottom of it. I ended up eating the top of the shell and dipping it in the sour cream. - Corn Bread: This was great, this is the one reason I didn't give it one star. The corn bread is good, whatever you do, don't change that. - Cinnamon Rolls: Pretty dry, but then again they were served to us cold in a togo box. Maybe if they were heated they would have been better. read more

WORST.FOOD.AND.SERVICE.EVER.!! RUN, don't walk away from this joke of a restaurant. Just when you think you've had the worst restaurant experience ever, a new one comes along and tops them all. I ordered a to go order from this joke of a hole in the wall for lunch today. I ordered one order of the sopapilas and one order of the green enchiladas. WARNING: THEY CHARGE 18% GRATUITY FOR ALL TO GO AND PICK UP ORDERS....WHAT A JOKE! Anyways, I was unhappy with the small size of the order. It was about 5 inches long and 3 inches wide, pretty small. It had a small side of beans with it which were mushy and bland. I have had authentic green chile enchildas in new mexico and I don't know what this recipe was, but it wasn't even close. As I dug into the "casserole" style food, I noticed right off that it was 99.99% of nothing but white velvelta style cheese layered inbetween multiple layers of corn tortillas. THERE WASN'T ONE GREEN CHILE TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE!! I seriously kid you not. There is another review on here that says the same thing. I was charged $8 for a stack of mushy beans and tortillas with cheese. The casserole is very bland with NO flavor. I called the place and said I was going to bring it back and wanted a refund. I walked back and asked for the owner, who was a real piece of work...sullen and unfriendly, and I showed her the pile of mush and ask "where's the green chilis? She just got an attitude on me and said it was "casserole style dish that was random". What does that mean???? I commented that there were NO CHILIS in the food and I wanted my money back. Surprise, I got more attitude instead of the owner asking how they could make things right as any good owner should have done. Just another owner who lacks serious customer skills. I commented to the owner that having good customer service skills is the hallmark of a good restaurant and if that is lacking, it can mean the end of many business. I demanded my money back and some sullen waitress came back and told me she was going to have to "take off the $8 and recharge the $5 sopapillas". HUH? I told her that I wanted a FULL REFUND and she argued with me. Again, I said I wanted the full $13 refund and gave her the evil eye and she did. The food was underflavored, mush and the owner/service was a phenominal pain in the neck and it's way over priced. RUN..don't walk away from this joint. You've been warned! read more

We have been sent away 2 times...first time because it was 830 and they said kids couldn't be in there after 9.....this after they seated us. Second time was 30 minutes before they closed they seated us again only to tell us once again that it was too late to eat. I mean you can't make this #&$# up! It's like at some point you have to give up trying to give someone your money. Consider us given up...try Del Sol across the street. read more

A good friend of mine recommended this place and since we were in Everett for work around lunch time we decided to give it a run. This review would be 5 stars if the only thing I cared about was the awesome pulled pork and brisket we had.... freaking awesome and I would almost return for another meal.... "BUT" They have an awful older small blonde lady that is a waitress/bartender/hostess. First sign things were going to be a bit rough was she was annoyed when I asked her the types of beer they had on tap.... She peered over her shoulder like I should be able to read the taps from where I am sitting. I obviously could not... so she barked out a few beers and I since I didn't really catch all of them I went with Pacifico. ( great Mexican beer so I was ok with it! ) She kept rushing us to make a choice since she wanted to get our orders in "before a large party" which I guess is nice but we just got menus... So onto the menu. Not a very detailed menu.... there is no mention of the sides that come with dishes.... so STUPID ME!.. I asked her if the enchiladas come with "Rice and beans" and she snapped at me.... almost yelling "We are "NEW" Mexicans! it comes with Pinto beans only!" like rice does not exist in New Mexico no one ever ate it and how dare I ask! very rude. The pulled pork was fantastic the jalapeno BB sauce was flavorful and just the right amount of heat... my buddy had the brisket sammich with the HOT HOT BBQ sauce which was VERY hot and awesome. I would recommend if you do choose to go here those wont do you wrong.... We finish up and she brings us Styrofoam containers... which I have a "nails on a chalk board" relationship with so I ask her very sweetly if I could have one of the clear plastic containers that I could see on the back pre-station... the woman stopped... stared at me a moment and said "No".... So seriously I thought she must be joking.... so I said "pretty please, I really hate Styrofoam containers" She snapped at me again.... "No! the owner only wants those used for desserts!" WTF?! I just spent 25.00 bucks on a sammich and two beers and shes giving me crap about a container... so I blankly stare at her a moment and said "Ok, I guess if that's how your going to roll" Realizing shes pissed me off she finally offers up a foil container which worked just fine.... All n' all I will not be going back... mostly because that woman is evil and it is a bit far.... but if yer in the area and want good "NEW MEXICAN" pulled pork and don't mind the price... get it to go... and ask for a plastic container! LOL read more

I gave this place a try because I was told it was good. It is very good. The service is not rushed. The food is tasty and is not your typical Mexican fare. There was a steady flow of patrons but I felt like the staff took the time to talk.
