50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Joint Base Lewis Mcchord

“The steak bowl I got was actually not bad. I enjoyed the food, but the employees could be more welcoming. The food line wasn’t a mess, but it wasn’t clean neither. I’m bringing this up because it was dead. I believe that if it’s slow, you shouldn’t be tidying up.“

“The Ultima margarita is my favorite margarita on the planet and the Butternut Squash enchiladas are divine. The mole is sooooo good. Love this spot and have been ordering the same thing from Cactus for over ten years starting at their Alki location. So glad they came to Tacoma!“

“I say enough about this place!!!! Amazing food, fantastic service and I am a repeat customer for life!!!! Thank you for such excellent food!!“

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

“Gave me a huge burrito, got a birria supreme. Perfect consommé and perfect birria, very quality sauces in good portions aswell. Food came out quick!“

“We went and got some breakfast burritos, and fresh bold coffee here yesterday. It was fantastic! We’ll be back for lunch soon.

^^^That was my first review^^^
This is now 11/15/2024. This our numero uno go to for breakfast burritos. That red salsa is my absolute favorite. Green is good too. But I use 3 red sauces per burrito. 😋 Thank you to who ever owns and operates this business. You are 🥰 loved!“

“The food is excellent. The restaurant is beautiful. And they had a friendly staff. I knocked a star because it's hard to find. We ended up going into the parking garage that they share with an apartment building and it's in the back. Also I over payed for my meal. I got the chiliaqueles but it cost an extra $8 for the steak and $3 to add an egg. It ended up being about $27 and it wasn't worth that price tag when I could have gotten tacos for $14. The food is pretty fairly priced and delicious and the cocktails were amazing. We will be back.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite. Not bad! Not bad at all!“

“🌮 **Food discovery!** 🌮

There's no doubt about it: I found a food truck that completely blew me away. The **asada tacos** are, without a doubt, a true delicacy. 🤤 With an authentic, homemade taste, each bite is an explosion of flavor.

Best of all, the tortillas are quite large, making each taco even more satisfying. I give it a 10 out of 10! 🌟 If you're looking for a culinary experience that makes you feel at home, be sure to try them.

Who else loves tacos? Tell me your favorites!“

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

“The food is very delicious! Amazing service and super clean, I highly recommend coming here.“

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

“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.“

“Got a ton of tacos for father's day and they were AMAZING! Place was so kind and helpful. Told them I don't do well with raw onions so no onions on some of the tacos, they did that, AND they grillled a ton of onions extra! Didn't even ask they were just incredibly thoughtful! 10/10“

“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!“

“Just went in to get a couple of orders to go. This is the first time we've eaten their food. I've gotta say, IMO it's the best place around. The food is great, big portions, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was chill. La Michoacan grill is our new go to spot.“

“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.“

“Amazing people and amazing food!“

“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“

“From Olympia. Our go-to place for good mexican food, it's a 30 minute drive and so worth every second! Love the owners and every server we've come across. Gorditas and sopes are my fav. Horchata is a must. Boyfriend loves the burritos. Must try“

“Fun place to go enjoy great Mexican food. We had a Barrito, Enchiladas both with Ground Beef, Spanish Rice and Refried Beans. Topping it off with an amazing Blended Mango Margarita 🍹 😋. I would go back to enjoy the wonderful waiter, clean restrooms and amazing decor“

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

“Wonderful burritos . Fast service. Friendly people 🌯 ❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“These are some of the best tacos around!“

“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.“

“They have great Mexican food.“

“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!“

“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!!“
