40 Best Mexican Restaurants near Clinton

“We ate here the weekend of the 2023 Island County Fair and were pleasantly surprised to see there have been some needed improvements since our last visit. The service has always been fast and friendly, but the establishment has been given a much-needed refreshing, is definitely cleaner, has more effective lighting, and the food was very good. We will eat here more often as we live nearby.“

“Amazing tacos we are always willing to drive from out of town to get them! My wife is always asking for these you have to try the different meats as well the flank steak is great but that steak and potato...as well as the pork! Get there early on the weekend to make sure to try them before the other flavors are gone!Parking: Shared parking with coin-op laundry. Evenings can be challenging to find parking.“

“Food ***** Service ***** Ambiance **** While we enjoy Indigo and have never had anything that wasn't top quality, we gave Azul a try. Since they offer Carnitas, we decided to both order Carnitas. We were a little disappointed when the Carnitas turned out to be a bit on the bland side spice wise and had not been cooked again on the grill just before serving. We have found the best Carnitas at Julio's in Bothel.“

“The al pastor taco was seasoned really well, not too much so it wasn’t dry and chalky but enough to let you know it’s Al pastor with a balance that comes from the fresh pineapple.The asada was done to near perfection, seasoned well, tender yet crispy.For the tacos they are a win, I look forward to trying more next time!“

“Excellent service, amazing food, chill & family friendly atmosphere. Dining in or taking out, Casa Guerrero’s is where it’s at!!Parking: tight spaces but usually plenty spots to choose from.Kid-friendliness: kids are welcome and wanted at Casa Guerrero’s. High chairs are available. No changing area in the bathroom.Wheelchair accessibility: tables move, allowing room for wheelchairs, walkers and strollers“

“Absolutely fantastic venue for a memorable night of Mexican delicacies and insane variety of Margaritas. Excellent service from their friendly staff. Large portions for the food and extremely reasonably priced. Highly recommend for any family or social event. Make sure to try 2 or more of their margaritas.Vegetarian options: Heaps of delicious vegetarian options available.“

“Top notch street tacos! I usually judge a taqueria by the quality of their lengua tacos and this place passes with flying colors! Super soft, moist and flavorful lengua. Smoky, spicy sweet Al Pastor tacos. Salsa that hits right and crispy pickled veggies.This is going to be my spot for Taco fixing!I suggest eating in (outside on the bench) while they are fresh and hot!The melon drink is pretty bad though. That's my only complain. Wish they had horchata“

“Was craving authentic Mexican food and decided to try this truck based on the raving reviews. Hands down best food I’ve had in the state of Washington. Both my husband and I got carne asada tostadas and a side of rice. 12/10 recommend. We can’t wait to make this our new local pitstop on a lazy day!“

“Wanted to try a different Mexican place and went based on the reviews. We're pretty white/non spicy people but our whole family found things to eat, including the kid who had a basic grilled cheese. I had taco salad which was good, but I wished I had just gotten 1 taco as I can't eat much.“

“The lady taking the orders was quiet but very nice. The food was absolutely amazing. They give large portion sizes and have so many options to choose from. I had the birria torta and it came with a very generous bowl of consomé. The birria in the torta and the consomé was amazing! The place itself could use a little sprucing up as some of the tables were wobbly and it looked a little run down but clean. It was overall really great!“

“Great food! Can't wait to go back.Chicken was very flavorful. Recommend the mulitas and taco plates. Taco plate comes with a can of soda. Staff was friendly. Service is very fast.Parking is good. Inside is very small; possibly consider takeout. This area can be sketchy at night so be cautious.“

“Nice, small shop with friendly staff and pretty good food. I am spoiled on great Mexican food, coming from Fresno County in California. Now living in the Puget Sound area, it's difficult to find that same great taste I grew up on. El Nopal delivers with well made food at a reasonable price. Give them a try if, like me, you continue to look for well made Mexican food. Now that we've "found" them, my wife and I plan to visit often!“

“Boy oh boy am I excited for Cole's! The speedway offerings have definitely opened up over the past few years. But there's something missing that only Cole's offers. Late night business hours(kidding, although true).This place checks all the boxes for a great hangout spot. Great staff, great food, great drinks, all at a great price!Been here mostly for the lunch time and after work happy hour crowds. Always friendly staff and always delicious food.If you're in the area, either headed to/from the ferry or Mukilteo for the day, this is a MUST stop for lunch or dinner or just a quick drink.“

“If you are looking for a great Pozole, Tata's is the place for this great tasting Pozole. We are regulars since Tata's has open the food is great, the service is awesome n the restaurant is always clean n great atmosphere. The food has great flavor. Can't wait to try their breakfast. Enjoy....“

“Love Red Cork next door which has the same owner, so was very excited to finally try Taqueria Puebla.We tried 4 street tacos and one small burrito along with sampling the salsas. Everything was super tasty and had good depth of flavor. Food came out very fast and was packed well to take home. So happy that you can easily mix and match to build a meal to fit your appetite.We will be back!“

“Another food truck to rate, this one is in Everett parked on a shell gas station. I got asada and al pastor tacos and as you can see the portions were relatively large!. Which is good and cant complain, but because the rajn i had to take the food to go. Tables and seat were wet. Although on a nice day i would dine in. The food itself i would say is one of my favorites trucks. The meat was cooked perfectly and the pastor was nice and juicy. Again no pineapple im starting to think that's not a good thing here in Washington. Tortilla were made perfectly and loved when you take that bite and you got the meat falling from the tortilla. You know is good. I would definitely recommend this truck. Price was fair i paid about $14 for 4 tacos. They do have a card pos so no need to pull out any cash. Another day another truck for me. Thank you all for reading“

“I'm a sucker for a good Mojito, and maybe I haven't been going to the right places, but I was delighted to see an entire menu section dedicated to them! Easily the best I've ever had. My partner was also very happy with the al pastor street tacos.“

“I've ate here many times and I love the food. It's really well priced. I usually get the tacos.The burritos are very big. The only thing that I have not like so far is the beef Fajitas, which I feel were overpriced. Anyways, but other than that great “

“Just had the most incredible dining experience at Luna Mexican Food! From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding. The el pastor burrito was bursting with flavor, and every bite was a delight. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a delicious meal. Can't wait to come back for more! Highly recommend to all food lovers out there. Luna truly delivers a five-star experience! #LunaMexicanFood #DeliciousDining #FiveStarExperience“

“The ceiling could use some repairs and they can liven it up a bit. Aside from that the food is good which is what really matters in the end. It's one of my boyfriend's favorite taco places.Parking: It's a small lot with a few shops so if it's busy you might not find parking. I've been there many times and only had trouble finding a spot once.“

“My go-to spot for all things burritos and tacos! I absolutely love their carnitas super burrito, and everyone who works there is always such a joy to talk to. Would highly recommend, I go there a few times a week and I have never had a bad meal from them!“

“My tortilla soup was the best soup I have ever eaten. It was delicious. Dinner was awesome.The chandelier is a Mexican star from i believe Mazatlan, beautiful...but my favorite was the colored chandelier in the bar made of tequila bottles, clever and quite pretty“

“I visited in April 2023 & really enjoyed the carnitas gorditas. It seems to be very popular with the locals and, based on my selection, deservedly so. The owners and staff are very nice & I will definitely stop by next time I’m in the area.“

“Absolutely YES!!! This place is delicious and the owner is so nice!! I was visiting the area for work with a colleague and we tried this place after dinner. I had the coconut and walnut ice cream with fruit and sweet cream on top. It was amazing!! I wish I could go back and get more. My colleague had the coconut and pineapple ice cream and he also loved it. Highly recommend!“

“It's my first time. Eating at that place. How fascinated by the very tasty food. And not to mention the micheladas. 10/10. And let it not be said. Regarding the service, the girl who attended us was very friendly. Thank you. Lia for serving us. And of course I'm going to “

“This establishment is really taking the care to enhance a typical Mexico experience. So many food options on every level. You have your taco shop, on the weekend Al pastor on the spit. Great salsas and deserts, all super typical Hispanic. Go over to the little Carniceria and grocery section, Again, on the weekends they have prepared carnitas, which were super delicious. You can also buy fresh hot tortillas. Beans and rice in the refrigerator section. The owner is always there stocking the shelves, suggesting some of their specials. Creating an authentic experience. Thanks guys! You make me feel a little less home sick for the beautiful state of Mexico.“

“Came in to check the food part. There weren’t any in plain sight. Tried again early on a weekend. A gentleman offered to help. I asked if they have food! He handed me a menu. I suppose you have to know or ask. Food is phenomenal! Fresh ingredients! Pricey but worth it. I was told menudo is great! I had the Mexican Corned Beef, it was great! Flan is good! Check them out! It was a hot day so I tried the Vanilla Ice Cream, it’s not creamy. It’s more of shave ice texture/consistency. So, if you’re looking for ice cream, the creamy kind, this isn’t it! If you want to just beat the heat, this will do!“

“Delicious food. I was impressed by how big this place is. The menu is also huge. This felt like Mazatlan and Oaxaca partnered because of the seafood selection (that I'm planning on trying next time) and the Oaxacan traditional food. Tlayuda was very good, molotes were good, but it's hard to even find molotes in WA in the first place.Service was spot on. The lady who helped me was so sweet.The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the loud (laoouuuud) music. It was 11 a.m., and it felt like a bar environment and, well, not my vibe. Other than that, I love to find authentic places to eat ? give it a try!Parking: Free in front of the business“

“I've been a customer for many years. The staff is great. They are amazing about accommodating my severe allergies. The food is awesome ?. The furniture has improved at least 200% since I first visited.Dietary restrictions: They are amazing about accommodating my severe allergies to wheat and dairy.“

“Very authentic Mexican food. I love their quesadillas de chicharron. As well as their tacos al pastor. Another favorite is their chilaquiles which come with egg, asada meat , rice and beans. The portion is quiet big so we share it-its enough for three people. So yummy fresh and tasty. Every item we have tried we have liked. They also have a side for goodies like esquites(corn) chips with different toppings. Jell o and so much more. I would definitely say try their corn tamales they are soft and super delicious. All the staff is always kind and very attentive they bring the food to you and always check if you need anything.“

“Met friend for dinner in a Tuesday night, got right in but was seated in the bar. Service was good, personable and was fairy quick. Food was hot, fresh and tasted good. A bit skimpy on the refried beans. Prices reasonable.Wheelchair accessibility: Take elevator to second floor“

“Haven't been here in awhile, but upon coming back tonight with a close friend of mine, and ordering something I haven't had before, the meal was fabulous. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was wonderful. Staff make you feel like you belong there, giving you their generous and precious time and delighting your experience to improve customer satisfaction. Going to start coming back here more often for lunch and dinner.“

“Good tacos, great service, lively crowd. We were recommended this restaurant by our concierge and it was super close. Some said it was touristy but it seemed like we were the only tourists - mostly families. Al Pastor and Chorizo tacos were great and so was the queso and flan.“

“The food is excellent. Service is quick.Burritos came with a side of fries, and could be two meals. Or lunch and a snack later.Meticulously clean restaurant.Parking: Parking lot shared with other businesses.Kid-friendliness: Lots of options and meals specifically for kids. Even has a Street Fighter Arcade machine.Wheelchair accessibility: parking lot has a slight slope . Room for ramp vans.Ground floor, flat level entrance. Booths & tables available.Slightly older parking lot, in good repair. Mobility devices with small wheels may find it rough.“

“Can't speak for any other dish besides the tacos but... I used to get these every week after work and they were absolutely fantastic. Used to get twelve at a time. Been a couple years now and I still miss them. Authentic Mexican tacos that always tasted amazing. Once in a while the tortillas would be a bit older but it barely detracted from the tacos. Would recommend every time.“

“Mercy me this place is Soooooo Delicious. Right price, super friendly counter person, they give you a beeper while you wait to pick up your order, nice!, THE BEST horchata on the planet, carnitas tender and juicy full of flavor the tortilla was perfect, totada fresh and crunchy, birria the same. This is this only place I'm going for tacos now. Amazing food.“

“I always come to stock up on handmade corn tortillas. (Only the second place I've found north of Seattle that actually makes their own.) Then I decide to order food and I end up waiting forever for it! Pro tip: call ahead for your food order. It is worth the wait but why not save some time?“
