50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Tacoma

“We’re so excited to have found this place. We just moved from Houston and this is the best TexMex . Everything from chips/salsa to the quesadilla and butternut squash enchiladas was sooo delicious. The service was great and beautiful environment. The brunch items look well worth going back for.“

“Very delicious food! Highly recommended!“

“This place is great! Super fresh, flavorful food at a great price point. I wasn’t expecting it to be this good! Will add to my lunch rotation for sure.“

“Great Service Great Food Great Drinks“

“We really appreciate the amazing service and the good food. I will definitely use again and recommend others to use.“

“Sat and ate within 30 minutes - lots of flavor and great drinks — will definitely be returning.“

“Great food at a good price. Better then antojo if you’ve ever had that before. I wouldn’t listen to the negative reviews too much as they cherry pick on one bad experience over their collective experience and over all just sound like bitter people“

“Tried this place for the first time today. It's the best Mexican food I've had in years. Just moved into the area and will definitely be back! Just be prepared for it to take a little time because they cook the food fresh! And I would say the prices are on the low side of average and then when you take the quality into account, it's a great deal!“

“I am a huge fan of this taco truck, probably one of the best I've been to!!! I always get the taco combo which is 4 tacos and a soda. They also always add these little potato wedges in there as a little bonus which are so tasty!! Their carnitas are soooo moist and delicious!!! Very consistent and friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“Cheerful, clean environment, lots of variety on the menu, multiple vegetarian options, great staff, good value.“

“Food is amazing! Staff is always kind! 10/10 recommend. Just be aware that if you use the drive thru you need to speak very loudly almost yelling or they usually can’t hear you. It’s often busy and a little crowded inside because the food is so good.“

“Wonderful food and service! This is in our neighborhood and we came for the first time on Valentines Day. The owner came and chatted with us, he was delightful.“

“Excelente comida, muy buen servicio y el sabor auténtico mexicano!“

“Went here for a friends birthday last night. Only complaint is the parking situation, eventually figured out to park in the garage. But food was fire, the mole enchiladas were amazing reminded me of my moms. The queso birria is also very well done and the meat is cooked very well.“

“They have great Mexican food.“

“The food was very tasty in a clean non pretentious atmosphere. I would definitely go there again“

“Wonderful burritos . Fast service. Friendly people 🌯 ❤“

“Gave me a huge burrito, got a birria supreme. Perfect consommé and perfect birria, very quality sauces in good portions aswell. Food came out quick!“

“It was another late night 🌙 and me and wife were split on what to eat she wanted Jacky's and I was on the hunt for a new GIANT burrito 🌯 🙃 and not to mention it was late hrs for decent food buuuut my journey led me to Burritos California and did ya boy find what he was looking for. I got the monster burrito and it was one of the biggest I've ever had...No Diddy 💀 if your looking for a good burrito for a good price that tastes amazing head to Burritos California on 38th and almost Yakima ave or just GPS Tha Place. Peace ✌️“

“RECOMENDADO LA COMIDA MUY RICA ,BUEN SERVICIO ,EL LUGAR MUY BONITO“

“Taco truck in a Chevron station carpark. Ordered two tacos, took just a few minutes to get my order. Two small tables outside with a couple of chairs. Lengua was cooked perfectly, chorizo was a little mealy. Salsa had a good habanero flavor, but was mild. House-made tortillas were great! Will return to try different menu items.“

“Taco time is such an amazing company to be a part of!“

“Ordered food to go. Got the Enchiladas a la Diabla and the three kinds of beef tacos. Thr asada taco is fine, the barbacoa taco is good and the Chile Con Carne is put of this world! The Enchiladas were spicy and delicious. Will definitely be coming back for happy hour some time!“

“Inexpensive but authentic Mexican food that is incredibly delicious. I highly recommend eating here!!“

“Got Fajitas from them outside the Tacoma crafts fair. They were very friendly, the food was delicious, and I highly recommend. The refried beans were the best I'd ever had as a person who has texture issues with beans.“

“Excelente comida, muy buen servicio y el sabor auténtico mexicano!“

“I have been a very satisfied customer of EL TORO for over 30 years . I have never been disappointed. A person could eat there every day and never be un happy with the staff or the food .“

“muy buen servicio un exelente trato la comida muy sabrosa las micheladas deliciosas recomendado todo una delicia muchas gracias“

“Oh my gosh—the food, the food, the food! It was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted so homemade, not commercial at all. You can really tell there’s love in the kitchen. God bless the cooks—I don’t know who they were, but I think it might have been Marcos’s parents? If so, he is beyond lucky to have grown up on food that good. No wonder he opened a restaurant! If I had meals like that growing up, I’d have opened one too! The drinks? So good. Affordable, strong, and just right. Definitely not watered down like some places. And the vibe? A whole vibe. It was my first time there, and I was blown away. There was a DJ in the back, the energy was great, and the place started getting packed. I just wish they had more seating because it’s definitely a popular spot! If you haven’t been to Marcos Cantina yet, you need to pull up! Get yourself some shrimp birria tacos and a margarita (if you drink). You won’t regret it! I can’t wait to go back.“

“food is delicious and good drinks“

“Tonight was our first time here, and we’re so glad we tried it! We got the carne asada tacos, a kids burrito, and the quesabirria tacos. Everything was excellent! The service was great, and the wait wasn’t too long. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I’ve tried so many Mexican restaurants and this one was amazing!! We got the diced chicken gorditos and they were perfect with seasoned pico that made it even better! The birria tacos with dipping sauce was amazing and the carne asada plate had so much flavor with the beef really tender! Highly recommend!! Will be going back to try more things!“

“Awesome food....it's definitely now my to go place and very affordable..and the staff very friendly and their communication and service is 💯💯💯💯💯💯 5502 orchard st w 98467 university place...This Antojos Mexican Grill...the staff here you are great...“

“I love coming here. Cynthia is the best, she is so welcoming and helpful. She always make my experience so great and anytime i see her it makes my day. Vikki is really awesome too, she always watches my drink when i go out to vape, that just show the staff here cares about their customers and makes sure we are good!! Please bring more IPA tho T.T“

“The best roast lamb consommé & Barbicoa in Tacoma area and Oaxacan style tamales wrapped in banana leaves with delicate masa dough & can choose chicken & mole, the real deal & so moist unlike others I have had in corn husks . The cafe is rustic & only open 3/4 days a week & often has hand lettered sign, feel like I am in Oaxaca eating the large lamb broth consommé with garbanzos & vegetables & lamb barbicoa cooked in a brick lined pit with banana leaves— & the homemade flan, oh my! Family operated, Louis & Ruth & a sister in law cooks the flan in her home & you are lucky if any is left by noon on weekends. Did I mention the homemade Mexican hot chocolate made in the chocolate pitcher. & wooden tool like in Oaxaca? And the fruit Frescas made in the summer— watermelon! I am ordering dozen Tamales for pickup Christmas Eve & a large 10 inch Flan & serving homemade salad with arugula & sliced apple with walnuts & blue cheese & a light dressing of olive oil & Dijon mustard & lemon.“

“lots of food worth the price“

“Old man in the yellow truck can throw down in the kitchen..
I will warn you however if you're expecting quick food you'll be there chillin for a few minutes while uncle is making your food up there.
The tacos where good but not very impressive.
I will however recomend the coconut lemonade“

“We stopped in at B&I to hopefully get some quick tacos somewhere in between softball games down the street. I really wasn’t expecting much for strip mall food. My husband and I circled around and the girl at the register greeted us. She was so sweet! She brought the food out and it was sooooooo good. I’m going to have dreams about it. 🤣 we will definitely be coming back! I had a chicken burrito and my husband had carne asada burrito. I can’t wait to try everything on the menu! $41 for 2 GIANT burritos and 2 drinks.“

“Good food and vibes but expensive.“

“This was my 2nd time at Toreros at their Tacoma location. My granddaughter and I enjoyed their food earlier this year and decided we would take my Daughter there for a celebratory birthday meal. The atmosphere, staff and food are all welcoming. Portions are healthy and the prices are very fair for the explosion of flavors one receives with each bite! We are already planning on taking relatives who will be visiting in the Fall, to dine at Toreros. See yall then!“

“Best Mexican food in Tacoma ! Couldn’t recommend a better place !“

“Best food truck around!! We have been following them around town as they moved from place to place. Great enchiladas! Great service!“

“Great place to the bring family to eat!! It is delicious I remember coming when I wanted real Mexican Food!!and the place is so clean!! Horchata is so yummy!!“

“LA PERLA DEL MAR DE TACOMA TE INVITA A PROVAR..SUS MARISCOS DEL MAR ATU PALADAR..CON JAIME BELTRAN..Y SU TOQUE MAGICO AL MARISCO.Y SIN FALTAR TUS CERVEZAS BIEN FRIAS EL SERVICIO AL MILLON..SIMPLEMENTE PARA TI. CHUPIS ENCONTRÓLES CHAUU...“

“Food was most excellent Staff was very friendly“

“Love this place.However, there tonight and my order was incorrect. I think it's just due a communication gap. Just think it would be nice to have someone taking your order to understand a lil more english. Nothing against the order taker as she is very nice. But you can tell she's uncomfortable with english.I'll be back though!“

“The sisig, palabok, and bulalo we ordered were all absolutely delicious, but what impressed me the most was the outstanding customer service we received from our young waiter. He made us feel like regular, familiar customers the moment we arrived. My wife was having a hard time deciding what to order because all the photos she saw in the online reviews looked so delicious. He was very helpful and patient in making recommendations, which made her decision much easier. He also recommended the empanada, which we ended up ordering to go - and we're glad we did! What really stood out was how attentive and thoughtful he and the other waiters were throughout our entire meal. We felt like family. They anticipated our needs without us even having to ask. An extra bowl for the bulalo was brought right away, extra napkins were provided before we even need to request them, and our drinks were constantly refilled. Before we left, I made sure to let the manager know how impressed we are with the service. The staff, especially our main waiter truly made our dining experience special. And one more thing worth mentioning - the restroom was huge and very clean. I even joked with the manager that it was so big, it's almost like an apartment. 😂 Great food, excellent service, attentive staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a 5-star experience! We'll be back.“

“I love this taco truck, it's so delicious and authentic ? I'm not Hispanic by no means but I feel like this is the real deal lol if your a local and want some good food I suggest you go try this place. I did and I have no regrets!“

“very good food and service“

“Loved the food! On our first trip, we had one of the suchi options, Chulichi shrimp, the ceviche trio, and mango margaritas. All of them were excellent, subtly spiced, and simply delicious. Yes, the music was a bit loud but it was manageable and did not prevent discussion at the table. Our waitress Clarita and bus-person David provided excellent recommendations and great service. We will definitely go back and bring more friends this time!“
