17 Best Mexican Restaurants near Yamhill

“We went here when it was Lago De Chapala and didn’t have a great experience (food was meh). But on a whim, we decided to stop by tonight after dropping our daughter off at the football game in town. We ordered the chimichanga and carne asada burrito, and they were absolutely amazing. Nothing like the photos in the older reviews here. The majority of mediocre/poor reviews are from when the business was Lago De Chapala. It’s under new ownership and we can tell! Looking forward to returning!“

“Anytime I'm in McMinnville I make sure to eat here. I live in Hillsboro with probably over 100 Mexican food trucks and restaurants and feel confident saying this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. Everything is top notch and grilled to perfection, the salsa bar is the icing on the cake. I could seriously drink all the salsa they serve. If you haven't tried this place you are missing out on this one of a kind gem.

Parking: Can be difficult to find parking during lunch hours“

“These are the best tacos in town, if your a true Mac local you’ll remember these tacos from when they were located on baker st. In the early 2000’s. Glad they came back!“

“Unbelievable. A hidden McMinnville gem. In business for 17 years. They make their own tortilla chips which were unlike anything I have ever tasted. Light, warm and crisp. The pork burrito was plentiful (2 meals for an old guy), very moist and tender. Rice and beans were home cooked, fresh and delicious. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Because of the high ceilings with exposed beams your conversation stays at your table as there is no echo. Prices were very reasonable. You may sit inside or out. Go!“

“The portions were huge. The food good and the prices were reasonable. Very fast and friendly service too.“

“The food was good, and the young lady at the window was a sweetheart working hard to make sure I had what I wanted. It was lunch time for the high school, so there was a bit of a wait. The food smell coming out the window was so good the wait was worth it.“

“Such amazing food! And the portions are HUGE!!!!! Worth every penny. We get El Primo once every two weeks it seems ha! It’s that good! And look at the size of that burger! We always order take out, and part of that usually means less food. But that NEVER happens with El Primo. We’ve had dinner at the restaurant too a few times. And they’re wonderful. The inside is bigger than it looks. And the bar side is super cozy. 100/10 recommend!“

“Fabulous food and drinks!“

“Frijoles were delicious
Fried tilapia was delicious
Shrimp and cheese empanadas were not crispy at all but taste was spot on.
Cold shrimp coctel needed some Valentina and Maggi. They didn't skimp on the shrimp. Sadly, they committed the ultimate sin (for me) they did NOT devein the shrimp. Ugh. I make my own coctel so would probably not get another one here.
We will try going in next time. I think it be better if eaten there. This was a door dash order.“

“This place has really improved since they first opened. The food is really good and for the most part healthier than most fast food. The people who take and fix your orders are generally nice and easy to get along with. It does get busy depending on when you go. Also, if you dine in the acoustics are loud and not relaxing.“
