47 Best Mexican Restaurants in Bellingham

“Dear diary,
Today I went & tried Albas. It takes a lot for me to finish a meal, but the really nice guy had to take my plate away because I started to chew on it after all the food was gone. The staff were so nice & welcoming, funny & very attentive. The food was everything I could’ve ever wished for & more. This is a place where dreams come true. All my Mexican food dreams were fulfilled & my tummy hurts (in a good way). It was so clean (it was truly inspiring, I need to go home & clean now after stepping into this joint) it was nice & quiet, not overstimulating but did a great job at setting the tone. 10/10 recommend & will be back.“

“We were donating items at the thrift store and the aroma from this place was amazing and we gave it a try for lunch. Food was excellent, chips are fried in house, and the service was very good. Things were cooked to order, so took a few extra minutes, but it was well worth it.

It was early on a Saturday, and it was slow when we came in, but picked up.“

“Great authentic Mexican food. All the classic dishes. Olivia is a great server“

“First the condiments bar and now the hot sauce. These 2 things are what made taco time, taco time.
Today my wife got us lunch here and brought it home. My order was supposed to be 2 beef crisp burritos, instead, I got 1 chicken and 1 beef.
Not cool guys. At $17 an hr you need to do better.
And what's this BS about a tip option at check out?“

“My favorite place to eat in all of Seattle.“

“Def one of the most authentic places in town!“

“fresh and high quality food at a great location“

“Always a fun place to stop on the drive between Canada and Seattle. Friendly, reliable, inclusive, and great homemade beer also. Cool vibe with nice seating both indoors and outdoors. We like this location better than the original in Seattle.“

“I'm from San Antonio Texas and I can assure you this is the real deal. Their Cabeza tacos, and tamales are the closest to San Antonio I can find. Their prices are reasonable, the service is extremely nice and friendly. And since I have a broken leg, I love the fact that I can call ahead and just drive through with no issues. The only drive-thru Mexican restaurant that I can think of in Bellingham -besides Taco Hell.“

“My hubby & I love coming to Chihuahua’s for lunch and dinner often! Great food, services & you really feel apart of the family.“

“This brewery is AWESOME! They host loads of community events, make delicious food/beers, and are an all-around awesome local business that's joined this town. They're easily one of the best restaurants meets breweries in town, and have made a name for themselves as a fan fave in BHAM. Menu Faves: House Margarita, Paloma, Bean Dip & Chips, Frijoles Con Queso Tacos, Carnitas Tacos, Chorizo Tacos, ALL of the Tamales, and any beer off their taplist! (Also, love that they give the option of having a tajin rim for your margarita!)“

“It's in a parking lot by Hardwood Sales hardware store. After you order, it could take up to 15 minutes to get your food, but you do have a beautiful view of contractors and people parking their cars going in and out of the hardware store.But we are here for the food not the scenery. I assume most people get their burritos and tacos to go. The portions are pretty tasty and pretty sizable enough to be full, especially after you down a large horchata.“

“Went to Whole Foods on a Friday night to pick up some fresh desserts as well as some milk and fresh fruit for the morning. Also went back in the morning to get everything we needed which was a latte, breakfast sandwich, croissants and from the buffet some bacon and scrambled eggs. Hit the spot, it was delicious.“

“Can't speak highly enough about this place and the people that run it. We had them cater our wedding and everything was absolutely fantastic. They were timely and the food was hot and delicious. They were also so incredibly friendly and helpful. We could not be happier. Everyone at the wedding complimented on how good the food and service was. I would highly recommend them for catering or even just for a great meal!“

“How did we not know about this place. Quite possibly the best restaurant salsa EVER! Wait staff that actually knows the menu and gave the perfect advice while ordering. We got exactly what we wanted. It was all yummy. Our wait person accidentally made a huge margarita and we had ordered a tiny one. Fantastic night. Going back soon I hope!!!“

“Delicious!! Sooo nice for an alternative to TB!! Reminds me of Del Taco but with tater tots instead of crinkle fries“

“went there for some drinks after work and the staff there was super friendly“

“Very generous portions A complementary small dessert came with the bill. And food was delicious.“

“Best authentic tacos 😋 for good prices“

“I broke my leg and I was looking for some good Mexican food, or let's say at least not Taco Bell because I needed a drive through. I got some tamales and some Cabeza street tacos, everything was totally excellent! Also their green sauce was stunningly tasty and hot as heck. And their red sauce was amazing as well! I plan on coming by this place a lot more now! Bye-bye Taco Bell“

“I love Jalapeños. We go on Tuesdays. It is always a really good time. I truly appreciate the staff. Antonio is amazing. The drinks are fabulous and the food is delicious. There is a beautiful view of the water from the outdoor seating area. Sometimes there are seals and sea lions, cool birds are every day. Jalapeños is a really great place for lunch or dinner. I highly recommend that you visit this restaurant. So good.“

“Absolutely phenomenal, service, and the kindest people I’ve ever had for a restaurant. Genuinely the best burgers I’ve ever had and they were kind enough to let me order passed close. I always come from Canada to eat here. Would recommend to anyone !!!“

“The service is always fast and friendly, there’s a good variety of offerings. I will mention that this is the best quesadilla in town. The chicken quesadilla reminds me of how the pollo asado tastes in the southwest. I love this place.“
