MEXTIZA By: El Sarape Reviews
El Sarape is under new ownership and the food is poor to mediocre. Its been a long time since I've had such a disappointing dining experience. The enchilada sauce came out of a can, all the food was lukewarm. The enchiladas were not baked but merely plated and sauce poured over. The crispy curls on the appetizer were soggy not crunchy. The beans and rice seemed like yesterdays leftovers. All around not what I expected and I won't be back to try again. =>
There's only one El Sarape left in town so we decided to try it. It is not only freshened up outside, it is beautiful inside.

UPDATE when I saw the menu I thought "oh, another El Sarape gone modern like the one that used to be on Capitol in Tumwater" But this was different, both the interior and the food still had that mexican food appeal...in...read full review
Today we went to El Sarape because I was craving the fajita salad with the cilantro lime dressing, it’s hot and sounded good.

Based on the reviews, MEXTIZA By: El Sarape is a great spot with outstanding and incredibly delicious food. The best ceviche, amazing fajita burrito, Taco Salad, elote, carne asada, and chimichanga with barbacoa are all recommended. The Mexican street corn was perfection, and the Expresso Burrito is delicious. The Scratch margarita is worth it. The food comes in great portion sizes. The service is excellent, friendly, and kind, with attentive servers. The atmosphere is great, with a beautiful, clean, cute, and vibey interior. There is lots of outdoor seating and a cozy bar area.
