Restaurantji's Duvall picks for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“Love love love this place!!! The food is LEGIT. The menu changes which makes it more exciting and fun. The service is always super great and nice. The atmosphere is dope and chill. This place is VERY VERY underrated. It doesn’t take a bit longer to get the food but it’s absolutely worth it!!“
“Nearly didn’t come here because of the star rating on yelp BUT thank god i did!It doesn’t get more authentic and Mexican than this really tasty food and friendly staff. The vibe food and service was on point! Definitely give it a chance. Thank me later !“
“So delicious and affordable, especially if you need a little snack! My new fav taco joint. The tacos are loaded up too, so you only need a few to fill up. Highly recommend the lengua and beef cheek. The beef cheek especially is so rich and fatty. Horchata is a nice counterpart. Can't wait to come back and try their margaritas.Parking: Parking lot in strip mall.“
“This restaurant shares space with a gas station but it is the best restaurant I've eaten at in this town. This is a full restaurant on the inside even though on the outside it appears small. There is a bar inside, family-size-booths, regular chair seating, and restrooms. The breakfast was very good (ask for the smoky salsa if you do go there--it is tasty). It's a restaurant that serves Americana/ Mexican food. The service there was great the people there are great and the food was excellent. The people who have eaten at this restaurant highly recommended it. Depending on what time you go to eat at this restaurant there is a line out the door. I plan on going back. Note on parking: since this restaurant shares space with a gas station make sure to pay attention to where the parking spaces are and pay attention to the drivers coming in and out of this space who are getting gas...you may have to park out on the street.“
“Stopped in after noticing this spot driving by, and I must say it was a good decision. It was surprisingly busy, however the service was extremely prompt and helpful. I ended up with the special, which was the braided pork shank after a suggestion from the staff, and the meat just fell off the bone, delicious. I also had their spicy mango margarita which was on point. The salsa and pico here was great, even our little girl loved it. I also appreciate the staff boxing our leftovers, great service, fun atmosphere, and delicious food. We'll be back...“
“Been coming to this food truck for a few months after a jobsite and I gotta say they're the best tacos in the area by far . Hand down the adobada tacos are a dream. Very cheap price and plenty of meat for the tacos.If you order a burrito be prepared to take half home to finish it.“
“Recently my family and I was looking for a Mexican restaurant to eat out at and we stumbled upon El Toreador. Not only was the food high quality and delicious the portion was huge and very satisfying. We got complementary tortilla chips that was amazing as well as one free refill of soda. The next thing I want to write about are the lovely staff that were extremely welcoming and helpful when we realised that my sister had forgotten her headphones. They kindly kept them safe till we got back.The only thing I did not like was the smell when we walked it but it did seem to vanish later. Overall I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!“
“I’ve tried the chicken, asada, and carnitas now and all options are equally delicious. I recommend the carnitas godfather burrito and chicken tacos especially. The carnitas is smoky and juicy, and whatever spice blend they use compliments the chicken very well too. ? I could eat their burritos every day and not get sick of it honestly lol. Definitely give them a try if you’re in the area and looking for some good Mexican street food. ☺️“
“This is by far my favorite Mexican food truck in town!!! The others are food, not great. I always get double of my order because I want it for dinner that night or lunch the next day. The burritos are my favorite followed by tacos and tostadas. Make the trip and eat good!“
“Absolutely the best asada tacos and burritos. My wife and I have attempted to go to other taco trucks around WA and many other states but nothing tastes or costs the same. Stopping by for a burrito or a taco has almost become a weekly thing for us! Cannot recommend enough!“
“I grew up in Wenatchee Washington and have a tough time finding Mexican food that reminds me of home. This reminds me of home. I got tacos pastor, and burrito pollo. All was so good, loved the pickled carrot and sauted pepper on the side. WOW! Give them all your money!“
“The fresh juice collection is greatVegetarian options: They primarily serve snacks and food made from fruits, hence good for veg optionsParking: On street parking, fifty fifty chance of getting parkingKid-friendliness: Kids will enjoy food but seating space is limit dWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible“
“I have been going here with my family since the first week they opened. It has been years since I've made my way back to this restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised to see how nothing has changed. Everything tasted as great as I remembered and the service was as attentive as ever.Monroe is blessed to have this eatery. Thank you Mi Tierra!“
“I came here for the first time last year and since then I’ve come here at least once a month. Their food is delicious!! They bring out chips and salsa but what makes them different than every other restaurant is they have, what I call “cabbage salsa”. It’s not actually a cabbage based salsa but it’s a pico de gallo of sorts with the tinies amount of cabbage in it. It is DELICIOUS. The red salsa is also very tasty and the green salsa has that kick when you need a little spice. The staff are always extremely friendly and kind. I have never, not once gone to Agave and left disappointed or underwhelmed. This is the best food in the plaza, and I stand by that statement 100%. Their macho burrito is huge and so good, or their enchiladas when I don’t wanna have leftovers. If you love yourself, do yourself a favor and go into Agave. I would be genuinely shocked if you didn’t enjoy it.“
“Carlo n Sandra have put together the cleanest and happiest restaurant in Monroe.Today I had the Caldo de Res (soup) very fun to add my own flavor to their wonderful Beef based broth. Very friendly and inviting.Highly recommend to the locals and travelers heading through,“
“BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! We had them at our backyard wedding and everyone was obsessed! They were so fast and accommodating to everyone and food was always amazing and fresh for everyone. Couldn’t recommend them more!! My guest are still messaging about how great the food truck was!“
“The best Mexican food you’ll find around here.-The adobada(Al pastor) actually has pineapple?-they offer lengua(beef tongue) and tripas(tripe)-They have horchata and Jamaica(hibiscus water)-You can easily order online.One thing is, I wish the veggie burrito included a variety of veggies, maybe fajita veggies or mushrooms. It is just a regular burrito without any meat: beans, lettuce, and cheese.“
“Food was great ordered the carne asada platter served with shrimp, beans, Mexican rice, guacamole, tortillas and tortillas on the side food and service were both great during the summer or sunny days you have option to eat outside which over looks the lake only think i would recommend would be getting there early enough because it can get really busy!“
“Love this place. Came for lunch had a three taco meal with rice and beans. Then, ordered the no names to go. I can't walk away without no names. I've been away from the area for a bit, but it's just as I remember. Fresh, and I'm always surprised how fast a hot plate arrives.“
“I live off Maltby Road and this is my family's go-to place for whenever we want Mexican food. Hands down the best wet burritos around! Prices are very affordable which is hard to find this day and age. The staff is always been friendly and fast. Highly recommended.“
“Excellent service, from their butcher shop, assortment, everything... groceries. You can find everything... and a lot of Mexican products, there are shipments to Mexico and all of Central America, and their cashier service is Excellent. Oh . Makes you want to return to “
“The food was absolutely delicious on a rainy Seattle day. The carne asada burrito was the highlight for me and was a great snack between wineries! The rest of my group that ordered other items had nothing but good things to say! (Went back and grabbed an extra burrito for lunch the next day haha.) Service was also fantastic and the kind woman who took my order made sure to text me when the order was ready and packed plenty of the salsa verde which is to die for!“
“Have never had bad food here. Blackberry Marqurita's are excellent. Best tortilla soup. You can have complimentary chips, fresh salsa, guacamole, green sauce with pork, beans and or sour cream. While you wait.They have a really good bacon cheese burger❣️The southwest steak burrito is good it has zucchini, summer squash , black beans to just name a few of it's contents.Camarones(shrimp)Happy hour during week in bar think it's 3- 6Special menuThey do have a senior and kids menuKid-friendliness: Kids in the dining room“
“Great service from Cameron and crew today. This is becoming my new "home" location, and I'm over the moon with the level of service and quality of the food. Feels great to support a PNW business that treats it's employees well-- you can taste the love in the food. Highly recommend this location.“
“We celebrated our daughter's birthday with dinner. The calamari appetizer was fresh and elegantly served. Spinach salad with mushrooms, bacon, and Gorgonzola was delicious. The three pasta dishes we tried were absolutely perfect! Service was well paced and attentive. We will definitely return to Luigi's!“
“Found this place by chance and glad we did! The two brisket barbacoa tacos are AMAZING! there's only two with an order but I would get them every time! The carne asada burrito is also very good. The owners are very friendly and polite and quick with service. Street parking is tight in the area.“
“Excellent food and service! My favorite is the Arroz con Pollo but everything I've had is great. Salsa and refried beans with chips is top notch. Fast and frequent service. My only critique is their margaritas are just a tad on the sweet side, but not enough to make me stop drinking them!?“
“I went there for pupusas. They were good but I grew up in a place where there's a LARGE salvadoran population and those pupusas do not taste like these. Look, I'm totally appreciative of the effort and that they're putting in and for even offering pupusas but literally every little bit seemed off. The Queso con loroco pupusa barely tasted like Loroco at all. The revuelta had the wrong kind of beans - my guess is pinto. The chicharron con queso was fine but the seasoning was not quite right. The salsa was VERY red closer to a mexican salsa than the kind you'd find with salvadoran food. The curtido actually tasted fine, everyone's is different and I liked this one even if it was spicy which isn't usually the case. My only gripe with the curtido was that I got three measly bags for my 8 pupusas. I need like twice as much and now I know to ask for it.In conclusion, they're not authentic but if you're curious about them they give you a good idea of what they're supposed to be. My guess is that they have a hard time getting the right stuff here since most latin markets seem to cater to a mexican population. If you're ever given an authentic one after having tried these it'll blow your mind. :)As for the service, I can see how they come off as rude from the interaction between the lady at the window and the customer in front of me. Her demeanor with me was much nicer I assume it was because I was speaking spanish but maybe I just got lucky.“
“Grabbed dinner with a close friend [to catch up] and they were adamant on this particular location- while at first I was reluctant [we both live more North and commute south to Redmond] afterwords I understood why. Everything about the experience proved to be a memorable experience [which catching up with a good friend can also contribute to]: despite having not the most ideal seats [high bar tables] due to the business at the particular time we went [~7:30 pm]; the environment, food, and service quickly quenched any distaste. I remember making a mental note of seeing how the waiters/waitresses interacted with one another in between making their rounds and how it acts as a testament of the apparent good environment- they appear to genuinely enjoy their jobs which in turn makes the experience all the more enjoyable. Long story short, I can now see why Matador is my friends' favorite restaurant!“
“Really good food. Was able to get vegetarian as well as meat dishes here. Make sure to specifically ask for ingredient list if you are vegetarian, though. The waitress was not 100% sure on what was or was not gluten free as they do not make tortillas in house so my kiddo stuck to beans and rice.itd been 2 hours since he st them and he is showing signs of having eaten gluten, dairy or soy though I'm not sure which so it may not be a good place for dietary restrictions. As a vegetarian I just got the veggie burrito fajita but failed to ask if there was chicken stock in it. In the future I'll be sure to ask.Overall flavors were good and everything was eaten. It's beautiful inside and the staff are super friendly and are fluent in Spanish and English so no issues if you go in not speaking Spanish.It did end up being $42 for a veggie burrito and Carne asada with beans and rice. So it is a little more pricy but the flavors were good.“
“YumParking: There is about two handicap spots and four regular spots directly in front of the store. And behind a stretch of grass there is another twenty five spots or so.Wheelchair accessibility: Two wheelchair parking spots right next to the entrance.“
“You won't find better homestyle, AUTHENTIC family recipe Mexican food anywhere around! Prices are fair, portions are generous but not obscene and the quality of the food is top tier. Everything is delicious, both at the sit down location and the taco truck! Whatever you order, it's going to be fantastic.“
“Amonos! is great. I've only ordered take out from this restaurant, and it is one of my favorite's for Mexican cuisine. It is not laid out for ample seating to eat in, but you could. This is my GO TO for a bunch of dishes on my commute home.Local. Authentic. Delicious.I hope the secret gets out because they deserve all of their continued success. Grateful for Amonos! quality and consistency!“
