20 Best Mexican Restaurants in Kirkland

“We went there today to have some great Mexican food and because my friend Sheryl was in town from Ohio. We had a great time and also had margaritas!!!“

“Very generous servings and friendly people. The food was fresh and well prepared. We hope to go back to try some other dishes.“

“I grabbed 4 cabeza tacos and my crew got some other things. Everything was amazing and the price for 4 big guys was very reasonable. Horchata was the best I've had along with the tacos. Stop by for sure if you are in the area. Very nice staff as well.“

“Great food and our waitress was amazing.“

“Comida buenísima y buen customer service!!!“

“Went to a neighbor restaurant, even though we called ahead and asked if we could have separate tickets, we got they're and were rudely showed where the menu said groups over 6 will be one ticket. we said we called in advanced and were told if we mentioned it before we ordered they would give us individual tickets. They were not nice about it. and they weren't busy. as our people came in, we sent them to La Corona who were more than happy to assist us. Once at La Corona, everyone was super friendly and nice. Food was plentiful and very, very good. I have a diary allergy and they made sure no dairy or cross contamination was on my plate and instead of cheese on my chimichanga, it had a delicious gravy. Everyone Loved the food they received. It was awesome good and plentiful. Will be going back for sure.“

“I ordered a vegetarian burrito ( nailed it) , strawberry horchata ( niiiice) , Chicken sopes (say what???? Amazing and plenty of chicken). Highly recommend this place and the prices were pretty reasonable!

Vegetarian options: I asked about vegetarian options and they guided me through their options or plates they can be vegetarian.“

“El Patron is delicioso! Cooked perfectly....steak and prawns... my favorite! Great people! Support your favorite restaurants during COVID! Takeout or inside!“

“Never would have thought of a Latin and Asian fusion combo would be so good. The Birria and Ramen was nice.The Burrito was super cheesy and had the ingredients spread through out the whole thing.Just found out about this truck and will be talking it up as much as I can.“

“Delicious tacos made fresh and great value for your money“

“This is is the "other" Taco Time, Taco Time Northwest, which is different than Taco Time Int'l. So they don't call tater tots mexi-fries and they don't have dessert empanadas. Hard tacos are great, with lots of cheese. Crisp beef burrito was good, tater tots were old. The chocolate gelato is really good but small portion.“

“*January 2025 - Still the best restaurant And staff in Kirkland!! 8 months later and we still love this place!! Only now, it’s completely prepped for post COVID-19 dinning and taking every precaution to keep customers and staff safe and healthy—all while maintaining the same level of delicious food and wonderful service. Carry out is so quick and easy on their website too! Thank you Azteca Totem Lake!! 6-18-2020

I LOVE this location!! Best place to dine in, on the Eastside! They’re the Starbucks of local Mexican joints, always on point. Their staff is the kindest and friendliest out of any where I have ever eaten. We consider ourselves regulars so to us they are like family. Your food always arrives so fast it seems impossible. Unlike some other local places, they have no problem substituting menu items for your food restrictions or preferences—I do not eat cilantro and my food is always perfect. Everyone works as a team to be fast and efficient, no one wants you to be hungry or thirsty for longer than necessary and I can’t say that about any other place. Their hours are great because my husband works graveyard and they’re open early/close late. I literally love this place and their people. Any negative reviews seem shocking to me, my husband and I eat here once a week (sometimes more lol) and I’ve only heard one negative review about food in over 5 years and it was about fajitas (I hate fajitas but they always smell delicious at Azteca). Sign up for their coupons with your phone number, it took us four years to realize this but you get a surprise after 9 visits! We love you Kirkland Azteca! 😀“

“Incredible authentic Mexican food with a fantastic and friendly staff at very affordable prices. Highly recommend for anyone who loves good Mexican food!!“

“toda la comida vien rica y atienden muy vien“

“Was at an event here, truly a stellar experience. Food and vibes were amazing. The staff are INCREDIBLE. Shout out to Sky, Eric, and Sunny who went above and beyond for the comfort of our very large party.

Would recommend this place to friends and family. Not to mention the view!!“

“Had Spicy Tots and burrito.
Lady at register was so great at service and brought our meal and returned to check on if we were enjoying our meal. I didn't get her name. But she was so great at Service.
She brought our food to us and made it seem we were at a five star restaurant.
It was about 1pm on Dec. 7th. Younger employees could benefit from her. Hats off to her and Taco Time for hiring her. It was her first day.“

“I went to the drive-thru on April 5th and there was a misunderstanding of my order. I went back thinking there would be problems. They corrected it with a smile on their face surprisingly. I would definitely go back to this restaurant without any hesitant.“

“The lengua torta was a flavor bomb. Really tasty and just the right amount of heat (I asked for medium). The dude that took my order was so friendly and smiley even on a wet Fall day. :)

Parking: It's on a gas station lot and there are plenty of parking spots“

“Food is good as normal, and it looked like they were a lot more careful with food contamination than in the past. My main complaints are one of the servers kept trying to insist on speaking in Spanish with me despite my expressing my confusion and starting the conversation in English with her (which she responded in to start), and how hot it was in the building. It was actually hotter inside than outside on a 95° evening due to a complete lack of airflow or conditioning, which makes me concerned for other patrons and the employees.“
