50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Fircrest

“Tonight I had the pleasure to try the cuisine at the new Port Orchard location. Yareli took charge of my order at my request. I was served the best fish taco's with Verde Salsa and lime. The three taco's reminded me of eating a chefs delightful creation at a high end Bistro. I was instantly transported back in time to Mazatlán eating on the playa. I would not order fish taco's normally and Yareli picked this winner for me. Each bite was followed by a uhmmm. I expected something to tear me out of this euphoric moment but after downing three taco's I was still firmly planted in Heaven. I was wise to drip the juices and seasoning from the taco into the rice. What a nice way to accent my meal. I braced myself for the refried beans that had grown cool but found them very fresh and delicious. Yareli inquired if I would desire a dessert. I asked her to pick it since her performance on the meal was top notch. Yareli provided a strawberry filled fried churro with the most delicate aroma. I would have licked the plate if I thought I could do it without being seen. Every bite was warm, sweet and delicious. Please don't think ill of me but the only downside to this experience was cheap silverware and the food is placed on a metal tray with a paper liner. It's my own fault after being in the military so long to develop a phobia over dining utensils. So in a nutshell my experience is on par with being given a shiny new high performance car but with the wrong style valve caps for the tires. I have been truly blessed to have this experience on a rainy night in Port Orchard Washington.“

“...always the Best with Washington grown vegetables 😋“

“Our first visit and we had a great dining experience. Erin was our server and she provided excellent service. I believe the manager also helped serve us our food. As we were getting ready to leave we recieved a pleasant surprise of complimentary flan from the manager for our first time visit! Can't wait to come back!“

“Tucked away in a quiet corner of downtown Tacoma, Indita Mia is worth the visit despite the challenging parking on weekends and evenings. If you can snag a spot or don’t mind a short walk, you’ll be rewarded with elevated Mexican cuisine that rivals what you’d find in Mexico City. The flavors are both bold and perfectly balanced, and I have to say, their beans are a standout—they're simply fantastic!

The atmosphere is lovely, especially with its scenic views of the waterway. The service is excellent, too, with friendly servers and bartenders. I especially appreciated the server with the bold lipstick; she really knows the menu and offers thoughtful recommendations based on your tastes and dietary needs. Definitely a place I’ll return to!“

“How many times have I passed this gem, and never stopped? We ended up eating here while we were in the area. It was delicious. The food has perfect flavor, and everything I've tasted there has been good. The staff is friendly. The prices are very reasonable. Our new stop when we are in the area.

Kid-friendliness: Great place for the whole family...Laid back environment.“

“I am obsessed with the nachos, love the happy hour menu, the romaine salad, and the cucumber jalapeño margarita.“

“Guy in the window is super friendly. I’m too white to speak to authenticity, but the food is muy deliciosa, and portion size is good. I keep going back, even though I never remember the loyalty card. The K&J does not have the most… luxurious of parking lots. So, try to catch this place while the sun’s up.“

“Edit: this use to have the best carne asada and best carne asada burritos in town, but recently it has changed and its no longer that good it taste the same as every other mediocre washington taco truck :/ i wish they kept the ild recipe.. seems like only this year it has changed.. dissapointed this use to be my favorite treaat!

Old review: “Best carne asada burrito around!! Good service”“

“Oh my gosh—the food, the food, the food! It was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted so homemade, not commercial at all. You can really tell there’s love in the kitchen. God bless the cooks—I don’t know who they were, but I think it might have been Marcos’s parents? If so, he is beyond lucky to have grown up on food that good. No wonder he opened a restaurant! If I had meals like that growing up, I’d have opened one too! The drinks? So good. Affordable, strong, and just right. Definitely not watered down like some places. And the vibe? A whole vibe. It was my first time there, and I was blown away. There was a DJ in the back, the energy was great, and the place started getting packed. I just wish they had more seating because it’s definitely a popular spot! If you haven’t been to Marcos Cantina yet, you need to pull up! Get yourself some shrimp birria tacos and a margarita (if you drink). You won’t regret it! I can’t wait to go back.“

“I can't say enough about how delicious the food is. And please check it out if you don't believe me but it's cheaper than joke in the box or macd machine and the food is so worth it also supports local food service and owners instead of the big food machine's.“

“Best taco truck I have found, their street tacos are awesome!!“

“This place is awesome if you want some tacos the first time I came there approximately 10 years ago I ordered four tacos and ended up leaving with 12 tacos. I took my niece whose autistic and very picky in each like a bird however she ate two of those tacos with all the fixings. And she's been bugging me to go back so it looks like we're going to be going back this week because I can't get enough of these tacos they have a lot of other food there you should definitely check it out amazing people amazing chefs amazing cute little taco shop“

“We really appreciate the amazing service and the good food. I will definitely use again and recommend others to use.“

“this is by far thee best Mexican restaurant in Tacoma! Amazing food. Amazing people! all around the best place to go!“

“We LOVE El Pueblito! The Gig Harbor location has been a favorite of our family for years. The staff is always friendly and treat us like family! Seriously the best!!! We love the super nachos, macho burrito, and original chili relleno! so good.“

“Delicious! Pretty darn authentic. Tijuana? Maybe more Boyle Heights… But, yummy!!“

“I'm so glad I stopped. Zoilas Mexican food truck is delicious. A very nice menu done well hot fresh and tasty. Although this is a truck the food is better than many restaurants. Looking forward to going back it will be a regular stop for me and my son.“

“🥩👍muy bueno y muy en orden el servicio“

“The classic shady looking mexican places always have the best serving food. Moment I saw how it looked, I knew it was going to be great and it is!
Sadly, they run out of pork tamales because everyone keeps buying it out. Ask while you have the chance.
If they don't have any, don't be too disappointed as they have loads of other foods that are just as good!“

“Best Mexican food in Pierce County! Glad I stopped here. I had nachos and hochta for my drink. I should have taken pics but I was so hungry I inhaled the food and I was also not expecting it to be so good. It was truly authentic Mexican food.“

“Wonderful food and service! This is in our neighborhood and we came for the first time on Valentines Day. The owner came and chatted with us, he was delightful.“

“Got two chicken tacos and a California burrito for my lunch. I had to force myself to stop eating the burrito, it was so good“

“This place always has fresh, delicious food. The owners are so warm and welcoming. I love to stop here for my lunch break. I work in a dental office so I have to eat somewhere fast. Pico De Gallo offers real food, not fast food quality, that is ready quick enough for those with a busy schedule.“

“exelente servicio todo muy sabroso 100%recomendado.“

“They have great Mexican food.“

“this spot has been a part of Tacoma since the mid to late 90's the food has always been great and the prices have always been reasonable for what you get.“

“The food was great the service was amazing. It felt like a mix between fast food and a diner; you ordered at the front but they brought the food to you. The prices are reasonable. The food portions were big which is always a plus, more to take home.

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see anything about wheelchair accessibility directly but it is a one floor restaurant with tables and parking that can be used for accessibility.“

“This place is a family favorite. Prices are near $20 per plate. The portions are generous and delicious. Chips and salsa are a part of the table service. The servers are very attentive, not intrusive. A picky child in our group devoured the cilantro and lime chicken burrito.“

“La comida extraordinaria, pero ayer en nuestra visita nos sentimos muy incomodos, deberian ser claros con sus horarios de servicio, llegamos a las 8:10 cuando indican q cierran a las 9 y solo se nos permitió pedir para llevar, sin condimentos suficientes al llegar a casa. Unos clientes antes q nosotros tuvieron q comer afuera en el frio porque tampoco se les permitió adentro. Siempre habia tenido una muy buena experiencia porque la comkda es realmente buena pero anoche si fue muy incomodo.... Cabe mencionar que salimos con nuestro pedido listo a las 8:30pm media hora antes del Cierre marcado.... Ojo ahí con la atención al público... BELLINGHAM.“

“always quick and friendly service. food is amazing and never waiting long“

“Pollo mole was amazing. My cousin brought me here yesterday and I'm back again today! Staff is very friendly, and you can tell how popular the place is because the to go orders are constant. Dining area is small and simple but has a friendly and authentic feel. Highly recommend!“

“This seems to be the same staff/owners of Indita Mia, just with a new name and menu. We had two different beef taco plates (asada and chile con carne) and a wet burrito with steak. They way overdo it with the onions but it’s easy to pick some off.“

“The food was very tasty in a clean non pretentious atmosphere. I would definitely go there again“

“I am a connoisseur of Mexican cuisine and my home I always fry my shells thanks to my Orpilla family but recently I have been on a crunchy taco kick and my friend showed up and brought me out to Tacoma and we had a hard time finding a place that was open because it's Easter so he took me to Mazatlan on South Tacoma Way and it is amazing in here. Right now they are giving my prior experience a run for its money this place is awesome!!“

“I have been a very satisfied customer of EL TORO for over 30 years . I have never been disappointed. A person could eat there every day and never be un happy with the staff or the food .“

“the food was authentic Mexican. so yummy. we had the tacos with beef and cheese and quesadillas with beef and cheese. will definitely be back“

“Este lugar me gusta por el sabor de sus platitos q todos Los q he probado an estado MUI sabrosos“

“muy buen servicio un exelente trato la comida muy sabrosa las micheladas deliciosas recomendado todo una delicia muchas gracias“

“Delicious food. Run by a nice family excellent customer service.“

“Tasty food and friendly service!“

“Food was most excellent Staff was very friendly“

“Everything I have tried is delicious, anything asada. large menu of authentic Mexican food. Great food and drink specials. Highly recommend.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! The serving sizes are generous and the food was seasoned really well. I ordered the tacos and the meat was very tender and saucy and the toppings were fresh. My significant other ordered the tostadas and they were packed high with toppings. The only downsides are that the location is cash only and that food runs out early (so definitely try to get there early! I got there at 7:30 and the location was out of rice and beans)“

“always friendly great variety of menu items“

“Great place to the bring family to eat!! It is delicious I remember coming when I wanted real Mexican Food!!and the place is so clean!! Horchata is so yummy!!“

“We went here shortly before the movies to get the same price of snacks but better food the food was great there was a lot for the amount we paid and the service was great the employees were very nice and the food was out quick. Overall, it was a very nice place to eat!“

“It’s a nice place and I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu.“

“I visited on a Friday for lunch. They have al pastor, carnitas, mole, fajita style and more. I had the carnitas and they were crispy and delicious. The tortillas, chips, salsas, all the food is fresh, the people warm and the place is relaxed. They have a small bar that has a great selection of tequilas and other drinks I look forward to trying another day.“

“lots of food worth the price“

“The lady was very good to my cousin and I, gave us free food for we were waiting kn our family to get there. The service, great. The food, loved it. The only thing about it is that there is a Crack on a certain window, and you can feel the cold wind blowing on your back. It didn't bother me whatsoever, however, if you get cold easily, you will feel it. Also, the main door keeps on staying open.“
