Experience Moxee's Mexican food at these fantastic spots.
“Ever since JJ's opened up in Wapato, there have been a lot of us that have been hoping that another would open closer... Now we have a couple, and all is right with the world! Queso Birria tacos were not invented here, but in my mind, they represent the inception of such a wonderful dish. Primarily because it's the first place I ever had them. They do more than just beauty get here, but Manda, I do that well. For those who have not had. Tacos, think of meat that sat in a slow cooker for a couple days, and is then put into a taco that is being hugged by another taco with cheese in between. it is seriously all the best things taken to another level! Traditionally, it is done with goat, but the beef down around here is very good. You didn't get a cup of consuming, which is effectively the drippings from the slow roasted meat. It's sort of a red soup, and man, it's good enough to swim in! They have one of the better California burritos in the area as well. The Cali burrito is everything that is awesome about a burrito with fries added inside. It is next level good! The standard tacos, Chalupa's, and really everything they make here, are spectacular. The folks that work here are always helpful, and despite everyone of these places, being perpetually, busy, to get everybody served and well taken care of! The actual inside of the restaurant is simple, but there's plenty of space to spread out and the number of large and small tables. You owe it to yourself to try this place. It is seriously the type of spot that you will try and then come here three days later because it's so good! Welcome to town JJs!“
“The two women working there are amazing and very helpful. I got a simple steak burrito but the flavor was anything but simple . From the grill to the final presentation with the salsa bar at your table it was absolutely delicious and worth returning for. This place is competing with only one other in my book as the best Mexican food in Yakima county.“
“Fun stop with great tamales. Everyone with a question was treated like they were the first person ever to enquire. Food is great. Small, quaint establishment. Everything was fresh.Vegetarian options: Cactus tamale and asparagus tamale are great.“
“One of my must stop places -- one of my favourite Mexican food Yakima Restaurants. The hevos rancheros with the red sauce and a side jalapeno ... SO GOOD!!! The FRIENDLY staff help to lift the experience to a great experience. The restaurant is a national treasure.“
“amazing chicken mole and tacos. great prices and even serve chips and salsa while you wait. the staff is Soo friendly and quick with orders. Big and fluffy fresh hand made corn tortillas with your order of chicken mole. will be coming back for more. 100% recommend this place.“
“Don’t skip this no frills place. As soon as my family of 6 walked in we were greeted with warm smiles and hellos. The salsa is amazing as other reviews have stated. The food is decently priced and we all enjoyed it! They don’t have a dedicated kids menu but my children just ordered from the “side orders”. They had a single enchilada, small nachos, and bean/cheese burrito. The service was 10/10!! Will absolutely go back whenever we’re in Yakima again.Kid-friendliness: Servers are really friendly and warm. My kids were a bit loud but they didn’t seem to mind. It’s a family-style environment.“
“I just went there and there was a man that was mentally ill that I tried giving money to. He couldn't hardly speak but I got the hint he wanted food. I gave them $5 for food for him. I know it wasn't enough to cover his meal but as I was watching from the rearview mirror I could see them passing him the food. Thank you so much for that! Everyone knows this place has good food that's why everyone goes there but it takes good people to do that for someone.“
“Wonderful, attentive service. It was nice to see a restaurant staff work as a team, I know that a lot of places everybody seems to be on their own island, but here at El Mirador 2, everyone is definitely on the same team!The food was absolutely delicious. I would give it 10 out of 10 stars if I could!“
“We love this little restaurant! Same menu as the larger El Porton restaurants, but this one is small, quaint & feels like family. It's our go to, favorite restaurant for a full service, delicious Mexican meal. The staff is friendly & service is supreme.“
“We were here from out of town and had no idea where to eat and decided to try JJ's. We had the birria tacos with the dip with rice and beans. Iam pretty picky about mexican food because I cook my own, so we never go out for mexican but this was over the top good. We loved it! It was hard to choose because of the great menu selections but seems like we picked the right menu item. The gentleman that took our order was patient and helpful when we asked questions. The only negative thing I have to say is it was freezing cold in the dining area and it was 68 degrees outside so I don't understand why it was so cold in the restaurant. Having said that tge food was fantastic.“
“I grew up eating authentic homemade Mexican food made in the traditional abuelita way, about as Mexican as can get, so when I eat Mexican food outside of my house, it's hard for me to be impressed. Well, Erik definitely does it.His food is food is far and away the best Mexican food in town, and it's not even close. This is really authentic homemade Mexican food like it should be. The flavors are bold, flavorful, and full of goodness no matter the food, and I've had them all. Erik himself is as amazing as his food, and he makes every eating experience memorable with his amazing personality.Do you want real, authentic Homemade Mexican food made the right way? This is the only place in Yakima to get it. Anything less than 5 stars is a travesty to the deliciousness and authenticity of the food served here. Do I recommend this place? Without hesitation, you will not regret it.The only downside is that Erik roots for Chivas, but other than that him and the restaurant as good as they come.“
“Great tasting tacos. Highly recommended. Service and atmosphere lack in comparison to the flavor. Not the cleanest of places. If you are looking for some of the best tasting tacos around at a very decent price and care about nothing else then definitely try this place out. Highly recommend bringing cash. Debit or credit will increase your price per taco considerably.“
“The food is awesome. Each dish is prepared well, and the meat is never dry. Always ask for the orange salsa.Parking: Parking lots is clean and well lit in the evening.Wheelchair accessibility: Building access and seating available and maintained for wheelchair access.“
“The food here was amazing and the space was low key, even low-rent looking. I walked in and approached the counter to order. The restaurant was sparsely decorated and felt bare. The order window was surrounded by menu items with pictures. The man at the counter proceeded to tell me about all of the specialties that were not on the menu. I had mariscos rancheros. The shrimp were salty, buttery, crisp and tender little presents of joy. Lying on a bed of hot, flavorful sautéed vegetables, with homemade tortillas so hot I couldn’t hold one for the first five minutes. My son was more conservative in his choice of beef tacos. He raved about the tender beef and flavorful fresh tortillas. I will be bringing my friends and family to this unassuming little gem with the great chef.“
“Great food, but... Menu said burrito was $7.50. It was actually $9, with no notice of price change until after the tasty burrito was presented. Not much meat on burrito, so I think it was overpriced, especially for carryout. It did taste great though.“
“Don pati diddled me in the back? I mean I’m not complaining excellent customer service knows how to make his guest feel at home? he gave me this funny sour cream with my menudo called “the chefs specialty” he said extra seasoning but it was spicy I’ll be coming back for more of the chefs specialty ( I double dip)“
“After being a customer for 15+ years, needless to say- this is my favorite taco place in town. I love the fact that the food here is wholesome. Ingredients are simple and I can order with confidence knowing the side of beans for my infant are not fried in lard and the tortillas are not dipped in oil. Just delicious handmade corn tortillas with whole toppings. What keeps me coming back is their fiery habanero salsa which never fails to disappoint!“
“My husband and I enjoyed our first visit to Tamale Express very much. We had the tamale (chicken and pork) lunch and the Rojo pork special. Everything was excellent and fresh. Very clean and great service. We will go back the next time we are in Yakima.“
“Came here for lunch and had the chicken sopes and they were amazing. This place does lack an ambience. It would be nice to have music playing at a low volume so I feel like I have to whisper during my conversation. The food and service was great and I will definitely return.“
“(Translated by Google) The food here is really very good. Especially very fresh, the waiting time is sometimes an inconvenience for us, but really here every minute you wait is worth it. The best place to eat Mexican food in the city!!!(Original)De verdad la comida aquí es muy rica. Sobre todo muy fresca, el tiempo de espera a veces nos suele ser un inconveniente, pero de verdad aquí cada minuto que esperas vale la pena. El mejor lugar para comer comida Mexicana en la ciudad!!!“
“We are a robotics team from Vancouver, WA, and compete in Yakima every Spring. Our team always looks forward to our Tacos El Rey lunch and the staff take such good care of us! Everything is made from scratch, is fresh, and delicious. The service is consistent, amazing and they're able to feed our entire team and mentors - 60 people! The prices are more than reasonable. Tacos El Rey is a highlight of our trip each year. Thank you!“
“Great service with a smile. You can tell they care about their customers. I got four different types of tacos. The chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp tacos were all unique and tasty. The price was pretty low for the amazing quality of food you get.Definitely recommend stopping here to eat!!! ?“
