20 Best Mexican Restaurants in Olympia

“So so good and very nice people. Will go again.“

“Our first of many visits. The food was to die for, everything is very fresh and home made. The owner and the staff are wonderful and make the experience over the top. My wife has a shelfish alergy and they went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable she could eat without worry. 100% recommend and we will be back.“

“Fantastic lunch the other day waiting on a glass chip to be repaired. got to talk to the owner and just had an overall wonderful time. Will be back!“

“So glad we found this place!!! Everything was amazing, from the fish tacos to the margaritas!!!“

“Seriously the BEST Mexican food ever. We’ve been several times and every single thing we get is phenomenal. Every ingredient is fresh and flavorful on its own and all together is absolute perfection. Great service as well. 100000 stars and such a treat to our area.“

“Some of the best Mexican food and best tacos I've ever had. 10/10 recommend“

“food is DELICIOUS!!! I try something different every time I go and am never disappointed. the burritos..... delicious!! Tacos.... delicious!! Tortas..... you guessed it, delicious lol. Highly recommend. This place is just as good if not better than any other taco truck in lacey/Olympia“

“One of my favorite new spots in Olympia. The space is beautiful and the food is stellar, classic Mexican dishes with beautiful fine dining presentation. The service is very welcoming and the staff are kind and attentive. Olympia needs more restaurants like this.“

“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. The menu is not as extensive as it once was but the food was excellent. Kevin had the Carne Asada Fries and I had Chicken Nachos. 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 an upscale way. The salsa was not saturated with store bought hot sauce or taste tinny like canned tomatoes. And the food was fresh and tasty and did not need to be smothered with salsa for flavor. And for dessert we had the churro with ice cream. And again, I was impressed! I'm pretty sure the ice cream was home made, along with the warm crispy churro, so tender. Then there was the small amount of caramel sauce. We didn't need more, it was rich and thick and creamy and tasted of rum. To top it all off, the bill was less than $60. Now that's hard to find these days, especially with quality food. And the staff was warm and friendly.“

“Try everything to find out what you like. I've been there twice so far and will return. I've had Elote, tamales, magonada &, tornada all yummy😋. It's a quaint ma and pa kind of restaurant.“

“Delicious food and friendly people. Our current favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“Their delicious tacos take me back to the best tacos ive ever had in San Diego. 5 star would highly recommend you go here over a mexican restaurant meal or any other taco truck in the area! Ive had them twice and the second time was even better than the first. Thank you so much for such good food!“

“Fantastic food and service! Went for my husband’s birthday. I ordered the pineapple shrimp and they literally fire roasted it at the table. He got the carne Asada, my cousin got a burrito and my son had fajitas! All delicious! They sang him happy birthday and gave him some cheesecake with a firework candle! It was a fun experience with fantastic food.“

“We do girls nights at West Side El Sarape on a monthly basis. Last night, the chicken was dry in the fajita salad that I ordered. Definitely over priced for a typical salad and some chicken. My bill was $61 after ordering 1 drink, fajita salad and to hold off on the order to go, fajita quesadilla. Instead, she brought it to the table a good hour before we left and said its still warm. She never asked if I was ready to have it made or even leave. When I got home, the to go order was not what I requested, instead, fajitas. Very over priced and disappointed. Did price changes happen on the menu that do not reflect online menu?“

“Amazing tacos!!!! 🌮 Great service!“

“I wasn't expecting much, but I had one of the most flavorful burritos I've had in my life and I grew up in a place where there's a lot of great Mexican food. I was disappointed that they didn't have lengua that day and contented myself with Barbacoa while my friend had pollo asado. Enormous burritos, even leaving off beans, which I unfortunately can't eat. A two meal burrito. Tons of meat. Not for anyone on a diet. And also completely delicious... Even when we were stuffed, we kept trying to eat more because I swear they are completely addictive. Juicy.“

“Excellent food! Best refried beans I have ever had!“

“This Taco Time is the BEST!! I always order 3 hard shell tacos with meat & cheese ONLY & it is always filled with meat & cheese to the top other places give a very little amount of cheese & EVETYTHING is fresh. I live in Chicago now but came home in 2018 & got to Taco Time when they were closing they stayed open for us & made it very pleasant for my boys who made a mess! I come home every year & ALWAYS make it to the Olympia Taco Time!“

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in Thurston County.“

“They have amazing tacos, and the service is always top-notch definitely one of my favorite places to get tacos from“
