13 Best Mexican Restaurants in Issaquah

“Agave Mexican Restaurant in Issaquah truly stands out for its exceptional dining experience. The customer service is prompt and attentive, making you feel welcomed from the moment you enter. The authenticity of the Mexican cuisine is impressive; each dish bursts with flavor and is clearly made with fresh ingredients. From traditional tacos to flavorful enchiladas, every bite reflects the rich culinary heritage of Mexico. The drinks are equally noteworthy, featuring a diverse selection of tequila and vibrant cocktails that perfectly complement the food. All of this comes at reasonable prices, making it an excellent value for such high-quality dining. Overall, I would highly recommend Agave for anyone craving authentic Mexican food in a friendly atmosphere. It's a gem in Issaquah that you won’t want to miss!“

“Their shrimp tacos are out of this world. They are using medium to large shrimps and plenty of them on each taco... all the other ingredients make a mouth watering tasty treat!! I get them to go and scoot down to the boat launch to enjoy the lake view while enjoying my food!“

“OMG---what a find! Accidentally stumbled upon this place while getting coffee at Gourmet Latte Drive Thru while visiting the Troll in Issaquah. I've never had better sopes and I've tried a lot (sorry, Suegra/Mother in Law). I highly recommend.“

“Las Margaritas staff are attentive, helpful, and fun. The portions are plentiful and the food is excellent. The cocktails are high quality and made well. Their original Margarita on the rocks is my favorite. This was the Mexican restaurant that taught me, many years ago, that I do love real Mexican food, Americano tacos no longer have a place in my life.“

“Excellent Mexican food in an Issaquah strip mall. Ample portions of consistently satisfying food. Nobody I've eaten with has ever had a bad meal. Fast service and there's always soccer on the televisions.
Still the best on the East Side!! Great food served by nice people. Go here.“

“I have only been here two times as I moved to the area right before the government stole the freedom of Americans to move about freely... that being said, this visit - IN PERSON - was excellent! Matt, the bartender answered several questions and made a couple suggestions. I went with one of them (Carnitas and Scratch Margarita) and was pleasantly impressed with both! The crowd was fun, the staff was doing an excellent job (having been in the industry for 24 years myself) taking care of the business and caring for the clients. Thank you and I WILL be back again!“

“One of my favorite Taco Times in the area. I go here to eat and relax...and maybe hide from the people at home some times. I can neither confirm nor deny that last one. It's comfy, the food is always delicious and all the staff is always super nice...and I suspect I'm not the only one hiding out in there, as I see others reading and surfing on their phones �“

“Great food and a friendly crew. I eat here regularly, much better than fast food or chain restaurants.“

“The El Jefe Burger and all of the tacos are great! I am very sad they stopped serving the Braised Duck Taquitos. That was my favorite item on the menu. All of the salsas are fantastic. It is impossible to have a bad time here. Delicious every time I come in. Staff is great. Very helpful and knowledgeable.“

“While in the PNW from the East Coast, i needed my Taco Time fix in Silverdale. I forgot my wallet with cash & credit cards in it on the counter and I didn't catch her name, but one of the employees turned it in with everything in it. I am so grateful and so happy to know there are still good honest people out there!! May God bless her and the other employees there!!🥰“

“Been coming here for over fifteen years and decided to leave a review. Service is consistently efficient and friendly, and the flavors are always fresh. Wayyyy more options than Chipotle and the protein options have more flavor than Chipotle. Honestly the best tortilla soup I’ve had, even when including “proper” mexican restaurants. Highly recommend the Cholula chicken for whatever entree you’re getting. Such amazing flavor.“

“I’ve always loved Taco Bell. The food is consistently delicious, and the combo meals are a great deal. It’s one of my favorite go-to spots for a quick bite. That said, I do wish there was more awareness around how items are fried. Frying things like chicken nuggets and fries in the same oil can be a concern for people with allergies or dietary restrictions. It would be amazing if there were clearer information or separate fryers to help avoid cross-contamination. Still a big fan, just hoping for a bit more care in this area.“
