50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Forest Park

“I have passed by this food truck for several years, but just stopped in on Friday. Ordered burrito with carne asada. It was a real burrito, with rice, beans, and quality meat; a full meal wrapped in a flour tortilla, $10. Will be back.“

“Bomb tacos and I love the burrito bowl. El Pastor is my fav.“

“Excellent service and great food!!!“

“This place is so good, food and drinks are on point! Definitely recommend for a romantic couple or a get together with friends.“

“I feel more Mexican restaurants are essentially Tex Mex. I got tacos and the main thing that killed them are the packaged tortillas. All tacos had 2 layers of tortillas which in my opinion dont taste too great. The fish tacos plate was $25 for 3 tacos and no rice or beans. Also the tacos couldve used a bit more salsa and crema. And the salsa used is your basic tabasco and cholula. The flavors of all food items were very spot on. The cocktails were deliscous and the service was 10/10“

“Delicious! And they have Vegan! 😍“

“What is this place?!? Taqueria? Birria lovers dream? Family? Yep!

Went in about an hour before closing and was greeted immediately upon entering. The menu is simple and very reasonably priced. The positions are VERY generous and the food is incredible.

There is also something special about the atmosphere. The way it’s been decorated. The little touches everywhere. It felt - like you just got invited into someone’s home for a meal. The service felt that same way.

Enter Brenda - part owner of this amazing establishment. Her energy and joy are infectious. She added so much to our dining experience. It was as if she had invited us to be guests at her home and couldn’t wait to share the passion in the food and the dream of this place.

This isn’t just a place to go because you like tacos, or if you know and love birria, or because it’s open. This is a place to go to experience a hug in the form of food. It’s a place to go if you’re missing home meals. It’s a place to go to thank people like Brenda and her family for putting this much joy in the world and soak a little up for yourself.

Gracias familia de Birrieria Pepe El Toro!!!

FYI - they also have food trucks for your corporate, neighborhood, and special event!!“

“Excellent food and service and such a pretty view while dining. I highly recommend Agua Verde.“

“La semana pasada tuve la oportunidad de conocer el restaurante, fue una experiencia buena, el servicio, la comida el ambiente, pero hubo algo que si me gustaría que lo consideraran, yo tenía ganas de probar el chile en nogada y me encantó pero para mí no fue suficiente como porque el chile no va acompañado de nada creo que ese arroz que tienen estaría muy bien para acompañarlo porque para mí no fue suficiente comida, de ahí todo lo demás estuvo excelente.“

“Best Mexican food hands down we’ve found as California transplants to Seattle. Alejandro gave us great service, the food from beginning to end was amazing and made with love, and it’s hard to find a place where every single salsa blew me away. Will be back over and over and over.“

“Malena's is my favorite taco in Seattle. The burritos are HUGE and the tacos (hard shell) are delicious. Guacamole is legit and i could eat their salsas with everything. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Rolled tacos as good as Olvera street in LA. Burritos put chain stores to shame. Such good food and freshly prepared to order.“

“Best taco truck in the area. Always delicious. Tacos have a decent amount of meat. Love the grilled onions they put on the side. Large parking lot. Highly recommended.“

“Nice wrap to our holiday weekend. Server was great. Nice chat with the owner. Enjoyed our cocktails. The Hatch Chili soup I had with the cornbread was tasty. The Three Sisters salad was perfect. I had a big lunch so these choices were just what I needed.“

“We had a big group and were totally accommodated in the bar area before a concert at Neumos. I was the only one in our group who had been to Kokos before and everyone was SO impressed with the decor, ambience, service, and food. It was hard to order because everything looked so good! It was the perfect location for getting over to the venue quickly after dinner and drinks. We also had a great time taking pictures on the sleigh :)“

“We didn’t have time to eat here but when we asked about the blue corn tortillas, the person attending us was super informative and friendly, giving us all kinds of interesting info about their passion for making the masa. We did buy some of the masa to bring back home and made tortillas with them and it was delicious. Thank you!“

“Just stopped in today for my first time. Everything we got was so good! Fast service and super nice, we will be back!“

“Best burrito in the Kenmore-LFP area! The salsa bar especially is a plus for the aficionados of Mex food. The staff/owners are always friendly, and service quick.

The dining area can be cramped and furnishings are tired so not a date place. It lends to a dive resto vibe though and ultimately, if the food is great, price is reasonable, anything outside of those are just bonus.

Plenty of parking.

Highly recommended!“

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

“Good food good drinks good people. Don’t need to say no more…“

“I’ve been going here since I was little and never once have I had a bad experience with the staff, the food, allergy issues, seating or anything else you could dream of. I genuinely challenge you to find a bad item on the menu

It gets a little loud sometimes when it’s packed but if you ask you can always be seated in the much quieter back or even outside in the summer.
This is genuinely my favorite restaurant ever and I though I might as well give a review now that I’m moving away lol“

“Absolutely my new favorite! Great food, drinks and service. I will definitely be back.“

“Best tacos- full stop! Tacos are $3 and absolutely amazing. Please promote delicious affordable dining in Seattle.“

“This place has a special place in my heart. I've enjoyed the restaurant a few times on my own but me and my friend went in on the dia de los muertos parade event and it just felt *right*. Chips and queso is so good. The tacos are always good. Gotta say, the potato taco is my favorite. They also serve two soups and who doesn't love a warm cup of soup? It is a little pricey but it's worth the hype.“

“Amazing place, good food and the tortillas are the best thing ever.
Texture wise they're fluffy and good and all 4 times ive been there they've been hot.
The bartender is amazing , the owner makes you feel welcomed . I like the specialty plate and the Palomas. Also great drink specials“

“Led here by a Seattle Times article that didn’t quite do justice to just how yummy the creations really are. The tuna tostada was sold out, so I had the bay scallop ceviche which was divine. My daughter had some other concoction of forgotten name, but excellent flavors. We topped it off with a pumpkin paleta dessert. Go here, it’s fantastic.“

“Great place for happy hour or dinner“

“Exelente servicio… muy buena su comida“

“The best original Mexican food in town . I recommend It I love the Chiles Rellenos and the flor de calabaza quesadillas“

“Order ahead recommended. Burritos 🌯 fresh and handmade right then and there! Parking lit should be supervised people park sloppy blocking other to exit.“

“I had a carne asada, chicken tinga, and a birria taco. All the corn tortillas were made in the spot as well as an unbelievably perfect green salsa. And I know this is dangerous to say this, but I just got back from Guadalajara and I think the chicken Tinga was better here than it was down there.“

“This is such an awesome place to come swing by and have that evening shot at.

Ask for chips and salsa and go ahead and be bold and upgrade to adding beans along the side , such a delightful filler. Simple, yet tasty

Marcos is dope! Also kind, kool, and attentive.

So if you're in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood and just want to take a load off your feet, I suggest you swing on in“

“We chose Los Chilangos for our wedding catering with their taco bar buffet. It was amazing. Even our California relatives were impressed! There was one snag with them arriving at our billing address instead of the venue but they booked it to our location and no one really noticed.“

“Great food and drinks plus excellent service… What’s not to like? 🥳“

“The one I go to is next to Home Depot on SR99. Their fish tacos are the best I've tried in the area. From Andy's in Snohomish, to The Fish House on your way to Deception Pass, it's a place I recommend you if you like fish tacos. Two are plenty, if you're younger three would do the trick, portions are a plenty“

“First time coming today on my lunch break and ordered the burrito and quesadilla food was amazing and nice portions plus they are very friendly definitely recommend“
