BEST MICHELADAS IN RENTON. Love this place, so much of the menu I have yet to try, but the torta is delicious, fresh veggies, fresh bread, and the salsas that come with entrees are fantastic. Highly recommend! Great spot to watch WORLD CUP MATCHES.

Taquería El Jaguar has been one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in Washington for years, and their new weekend buffet proves exactly why. The flavors are truly traditional — the kind of sazón you’d expect if you were eating in Mexico.

The buffet was outstanding: chilaquiles made to order, mole, pork in green sauce, soups, eggs, empanadas, albóndigas, chiles rellenos, desserts, aguas frescas, and even café de olla. Everything tasted homemade and full of flavor.

The place was packed, and it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the food. Laura, the owner, clearly puts her heart into every detail, and her son and the entire staff were attentive, warm, and efficient.

El Jaguar continues to be a true gem — authentic food, great service, and a buffet that’s absolutely worth experiencing. Highly recommended.

This Restaurant is such a hidden gem, the food is absolutely delicious, authentic flavors, great presentation, and a menu with plenty of amazing options to choose from.
Everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor.

Laura was incredibly attentive and made the whole experience even better, she was friendly, always checking in at the right time, and made us feel genuinely welcome.

The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, you can actually enjoy your meal and have a conversation without feeling rushed. It’s the perfect spot to eat peacefully and just enjoy great Mexican food.

Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back!

Google reviews led us astray this time. Fri lunch. Arrived at 1. Place was quite empty and got seated immediately. That’s where it ended.

Main salsa was watery, the other 3 salsas were deep in large dishes and were hard to reach and didn’t taste very good anyway. Chips were obviously store bought and tasted dry.

Moving to the drinks, the Margarita and La Jicara were full of sugar. The Jarroti Loco was decent.

Now the food. Presentation was good but food was cold. The chicken on the jaguar plate was skinny and dry. The shrimp was tasty and the carne asada was decent. Barbacoa and chicken quesadilla were decent from what I was told.

Lastly the service. We didn’t get served water. Had to ask for napkins. For being so slow, the drinks and the food came really slow. We were barely checked on during the meal. We ended up not waiting for the check to come and instead just walked up and paid.

The buffet was very yummy and well worth the price! There were many breakfast and lunch options. They'll make fresh chilaquiles and pancakes for you! Also had a little fruit tray and desserts at the end. A drink is also included. Will definitely go back!

Amazing food, cozy little place and very welcoming.
The servers definitely need more training. Drinks were delivered to my table 5 minutes before we asked for the check, that’s the only reason the server noticed she didn’t bring them to us. I looked around and 3 other tables were already done eating and still no drinks for them either. Poor service.
