50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Mercer Island

“Still thinking about the torta. I’ll be thinking of the food until my next visit. My wife’s taco plate de lengua was delicious. That torta though, I’ve been to hundreds of taco trucks on the west coast. All I had was the torta al pastor and this is definitely in the 5 that’s I’ve ever had! I even told some of my coworkers I’m sorry cause one time we settled for chevron gas station lunch and we weren’t from this taco truck.“

“Me and my family were in town from Philadelphia to see the Phillies play the Marlins and the first thing we looked up was “best authentic Mexican Cusine.” This place was the spot that came up first and it didn’t disappoint! Between the four of us we had taco platters with every meat option and all of the tamales. We were all satisfied with our meals. I really hope to get back here and have their breakfast dishes.“

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

“Enjoyed the queso barria tacos with consome. The meat was so favorable. I wish the tortilla was a bit more crispy but I really enjoyed the meal! I would gladly come back. The free salsa bar was nice too..different flavors of salsa available and I enjoyed experimenting with different salsa pairings with each bite“

“They make the best fish tacos, and the staff is very friendly.“

“Had the pork tamales and Aguachile they both tasted immaculate! best in the area ? and also their horchata is fire!“

“Happy staff. Good etiquette ✔️“

“The food is decent not the best and not the worst and the service is great the people who work at this restaurant are amazing people. The atmosphere is great as well it has good outside and indoor seating and public restrooms that are always clean. It can be kind of cramped with a lot of people at times.“

“Great food, friendly staff, clean. I love the tostadas.“

“Must have the Alambre best I’ve had in WA.“

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

“Food is awesome, meat quality is great. The burritos were better than expected. Atmosphere is fabulous, and feels like you are part of the party every time. Good for groups, might be loud for some but I enjoyed it. Maybe not a first date if you want to talk a lot.“

“Best breakfast burritos I’ve EVER had in Seattle! So freaking delicious. Great staff and a beautiful restaurant! And the Micheladas were so perfect. Totally recommend !“

“I stopped by here while I was in Georgetown w my hubby. After all, I was at a loss for what to order after looking at the menu😖💧 So I asked the store staff for recommendations. And we ordered Super Burrito chicken and one is spicy one. There are various menus, so if it's your first time like us, it would be helpful to check online or the menus I posted. And the parking lot is only street.
Basically, takeout, quick service here like a food truck.

Freshly made burritos are warm, heavy, and large in size. We could only eat half of it. The taste was good and we were full and happy.
We'll be back and try again!“

“Great place for happy hour or dinner“

“Delicious food & drinks and amazing service . What else can I ask for . Definitely recommended“

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

“Centro is the best restaurant in Burien delivering a creative seasonal menu and every review is delicious! The owners are extremely involved in the Burien Community and the staff is amazing! Right now my favorites are the fish taco, salmon cevice and paloma. But doraditos, cauliflower nachos, brusselsprouts, habanero enchiladas and avocado salsa are forever my favorites! oh and Churros! & hibiscus tea 🌺Try everything!💖🥰 & Emily is my favorite server (pictured)!“

“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.“

“My lovely wife and I have had the zeal of investing with Mr Aaron Soriano also analysing our investment is secure & safe. Aaron Soriano professionalism, Hard-works, understanding and compassion towards everything had us feeling like he was part of the family. He has an infectious bubbly personality that you just can't help but open up to him.“

“Went here before a concert the food was super good, the lady making it was really sweet. I got the carne asada burrito and it wasn’t dry, really flavorful and fresh ingredients. Would 100% come back again. Seattle come support this sweet lady’s business!!!“

“This restaurant has such lovely feel, with kind and attentive service, and delicious food! I requested something dairy free and vegetarian, and was recommended veggie enchiladas—which were so good! The sauces and salsas are so fresh and flavorful, too. The pineapple agua fresca and the breezy patio was so refreshing. Thank you!“

“buen servicio y muy deliciosa la comida“

“Brutal delicioso y muy rápido!“

“Food is quite good.

I had heard about their Hatch Chile Pork Stew and tried it. I agree it's worth the visit and the Cornbread is to die for (I'm not normally a big fan of cornbread, but I'd go back for this one). In fact, we liked the stew & cornbread so much, we got a Bowl to-go at the end of the brunch.“

“I absolutely love this place. Best mexican food I’ve tried in the Seattle area. I’ve been going here pretty regularly since 2019 and have not had a single bad experience. I always get a chicken burrito with whole black beans and no dairy. The rice is always tasty, never too much either. They’re generous with the protein. The seasonings are used well, but the magic comes with the sauces. Most taco trucks just use standard suppliers for their ingredients and you can tell, but not here. They make their own sauces. They have a red sauce, green sauce and a spicy sauce. I always get the spicy sauce. Its maybe more spicy than many people could handle but used sparingly still packs a solid flavor-punch.Burritos are my default because they are amazing value. $11 for effectively two meals.I’ve gotten each arrangement and combination a few times, and my go to for a more reasonable portion is three chicken tacos. At $2.50 a taco its also a pretty good deal.I don’t think there are any additional charges for meats (except lengua) so getting carne asada, barbacoa or carnitas isn’t any different. I would highly recommend the barbacoa on tacos or butritos.“

“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!!!“

“El Maestro del Taco has truly spectacular food. The flavors remind me so much of meals I’ve had in Mexico, and the restaurant is often filled with members of the local Mexican community - which says a lot about how authentic and delicious it is.

The carne asada burrito without beans is my absolute favorite, but I’ve also tried several tortas and sopas with different meats, and everything has been SO good. The staff are kind, and the whole place has a fun, lively, and interesting vibe.

The only reasons I’m giving four stars instead of five are that parking is often challenging, seating is limited, and food can take quite a while when they get busy. Honestly, though, it is absolutely worth the wait. This place has incredible food!“

“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Tacos are out of this world; great service and it's in the same parking lot as The Green Door. One of Seattle's favorite cannabis shops around...... talk about a great set up!!! you kill two birds with one stoned moment. it is a must.“

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

“Best al pastor I've found in Seattle, and I've looked hard. Fantastic food, I will absolutely be back“

“Amazing food, just stopped in and had one of their amazing burritos! I was looking for a hamburger joint, but found his place instead. Glad I did! Will definitely be going back next time I am in Seattle!“

“Food is phenomenal!! Service was top notch as well!! That breakfast sandwich was slap your mama good!“

“Great service, wonderful food, good portions. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing drinks and really tasty oaxacan food. I often come here for lunch; I've also come for drinks in the evening. The cocktails are made with fresh lime juice. Food is always well-executed. Al pastor tacos for lunch are juicy and so flavorful.“

“Great service, great food. Will be recommending this place and eating here again.“

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