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.“

“Chicken tacos here are absolute ?.

It's located next to a used tire shop so you know it has to be good!

Standard taco truck with easy parking on site or the street. They even have fold out counters and stools if you want to eat in front. Ordering was a breeze.“

“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.“

“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”“

“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“

“Lmk if you can find better food I’ll wait I bet you can’t“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“We ate here today for the first time, had the chilaquiles, asada baked potato, and asada tacos. Food was delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wanted to try something different because we're new to the area, and to be very honest, the selection of cultural restaurants is narrow. So we decided to give it a chance and I have to say, it was absolutely worth every penny. We were seated very quickly and given complimentary chips and salsa and were also served our drinks fast as well. My wife ordered the two (2) chimichanga combination dinner served with a very generous portion of rice & and beans, and I ordered the three(3) beef enchiladas combination dinner, also served with a generous portion of rice & beans. If you enjoy chimichangas, then you will definitely enjoy them here, and you really want a good enchilada, then stay in your seat and order a couple. My wife and I are looking forward to returning to Mazatlan!. I forgot to mention that the service here is impeccable as well.“

“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“

“I would definitely return. We went for the first time in September. We were pleasantly surprised to be offered samples of the meat. This definitely helped us decide what to order, it was great. More meat and rice options than Chipotle.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the owner coming over to chat with us and make sure that we were happy with our food, it was clear that this place is important to him! He also offered us the banana cream desert, it was SO good.“

“exelente servicio todo muy sabroso 100%recomendado.“

“Been coming here for years ! Always the best !“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“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 .“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

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

“Tasty food and friendly service!“

“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)“

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

“always friendly great variety of menu items“

“O.k., I grew up in Texas and am picky about Mexican food. Then I moved to San Diego and also loved So cal Mexican... While I love the Pacific Northwest, it makes me home sick for authentic Mexican food. I knew the minute I peaked through the order window into the tiny kitchen and saw a delightful woman pressing out corn tortillas on site, and cooking them on the back grill,that we were onto something special. I ordered 3 asada street tacos and experienced SoCal nirvana! And the two sauces that come with every order... chomp! My husband ordered a burrito and I thought he was handed a newborn baby! They are a huge combo of deliciousness! We often split one! Don't let the location alarm you. It is located behind a gas station. It is like a food truck only it's a building with a kitchen and a few outside patio tables. We either bundle up and sit outside,or we eat in the car,either a small sacrifice in exchange for the incredible burritos and street tacos. I noticed the other day that Pitas was awarded "Best Restaunt in Every State" it is well merited. The quality has never waivered. We discovered Pitas two years ago. Our girl is a counselor at a nearby Scout camp, Camp Sheppard. We drive her there from Seattle once a week from January until March. We stop at Pitas almost every week!“

“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.“

“lots of food worth the price“

“My first time there, I had the Torta, it was the best Tora I ever had, it was so delicious, definitely going back and huge Tamales also good and I also had the Flan also the best flan!“

“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.“
