28 Best Mexican Restaurants in Federal Way

“really good .. quick with orders ...& good customer service“

“I finally found good Mexican food that’s authentic in federal way. I found them while it was walking with Siri and I got their tamales that are Rajas with queso OMG They were so incredibly good. I give up buying tamales quite a while ago because I couldn’t find any good ones. They have great ones and they Agua is awesome. I can’t wait to go back for a torta ahogada!! I haven’t had one since I was in GDL!! Check them out they close a little early. She said 7 PM. They are so good.!!“

“The chili rellenos were really good.“

“The staff was trying, but they were woefully understaffed for dinner. One employee was helping customers in store, one was trying to keep up with online orders, and one was trying to keep everything prepped and going along.
The employee helping customers in the store, Charles, was very friendly and trying to keep things going smoothly, but clearly needed some more help to keep up with the dinner rush. He was greeting customers, making orders, and checking out- additional staff would be great, to help wait times be a bit shorter.“

“Great Service Great Food Great Everything!!!!!“

“$1.50 Taco Tuesday and Wednesday! Only 3 kinds though, Spicy Pork, Chicken, and Spicy Chicken. One of the best Tacos I've eaten in the Seattle area. All the photos and reviews are outdated though as none of them are like what I ordered. I believe they have switched owners. Complimetary tortilla chips and Escabeche (pickled veggies) as well and they are very fresh. Total with 9 tacos came to just under $15.“

“Always great food and friendly staff. They have a great happy hour menu that goes until 7 pm! There are a lot of options for Mexican food in the area but this one is a favorite and you should try it!“

“Great service from the staff and the food was great. The food didn't take long and it was warm and ready to eat when I got home. They give you a buzzer which is nice so you can sit in your car while waiting when the weather isn't great.“

“Cafe Rio is the restaurant I would choose if I could only have one restaurant on an island or anywhere nearby, I could eat it every day of my life and never get sick of it. If you haven’t tried the SWEET PORK, that succulent sweet sweet pork, you need to, it’s life changing! Also their creamy tomatillo sauce, green chile sauce, and tres leches should be on a type of Mount Rushmore. It’s not true Mexican food, but such a great twist/fusion/brilliant food chemistry done right. Great store, please don’t go away like all of my favorite stores are doing since covid, te amo cafe Rio!!“

“Tacos never disappoint! Jalapeño+ hot sauce! My favorite, every time!“

“The owners here are amazing, sometimes costumers are very rude they have no manners and just come in all aggressive. I used to work in many food places, and customers are just disrespectful, they want everything handed to them. They throw money at you, and disregard that the people charging them are just human.But the meat is great, and service is amazing! Their salsa's are very good I always go buy them, and they always sell fast!“

“Ordered food yesterday and was very happy with the customer service. The food was delicious seasoned very well and had huge portions!“

“We love coming to the Federal Way Location after our team wins a game, and even when we don't win 😜. The burrito bowl and a bag of chips are our go-to order! Many of our teen players have mentioned that this is their favorite spot to come to for a quick bite to eat. We are so grateful to the staff here for being so kind to our players and always having such fresh, healthy meals that give our players exactly what they need after playing a hard soccer game. We especially appreciate eating at a restaurant that supports our community. Chipotle in Federal Way supports local youth programs by helping to make soccer more affordable to our community. Thank you Chipotle for giving back!“

“Love Del taco. Dislike how they forget food items often. Tired of paying for food we don’t receive in our orders.“

“This is the best Taco Bell I’ve been too. The ladies that work between 1-3pm M-F are the nicest. They always get my order correct and always greet me with a big smile. The kitchen staff is also incredibly fast, it literally takes less than 5 minutes from the time I order to the time I’m driving away. They all deserve raises. Today, they went the extra mile and wrote a sweet little “Come back soon :)” message on my box which honestly really brightened up my day!! Thank you so much“
