50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Tacoma

“Our first visit and we had a great dining experience. Erin was our server and she provided excellent service. I believe the manager also helped serve us our food. As we were getting ready to leave we recieved a pleasant surprise of complimentary flan from the manager for our first time visit! Can't wait to come back!“

“Tucked away in a quiet corner of downtown Tacoma, Indita Mia is worth the visit despite the challenging parking on weekends and evenings. If you can snag a spot or don’t mind a short walk, you’ll be rewarded with elevated Mexican cuisine that rivals what you’d find in Mexico City. The flavors are both bold and perfectly balanced, and I have to say, their beans are a standout—they're simply fantastic!

The atmosphere is lovely, especially with its scenic views of the waterway. The service is excellent, too, with friendly servers and bartenders. I especially appreciated the server with the bold lipstick; she really knows the menu and offers thoughtful recommendations based on your tastes and dietary needs. Definitely a place I’ll return to!“

“Chicken tacos here are absolute ?.

It's located next to a used tire shop so you know it has to be good!

Standard taco truck with easy parking on site or the street. They even have fold out counters and stools if you want to eat in front. Ordering was a breeze.“

“I am obsessed with the nachos, love the happy hour menu, the romaine salad, and the cucumber jalapeño margarita.“

“Edit: this use to have the best carne asada and best carne asada burritos in town, but recently it has changed and its no longer that good it taste the same as every other mediocre washington taco truck :/ i wish they kept the ild recipe.. seems like only this year it has changed.. dissapointed this use to be my favorite treaat!

Old review: “Best carne asada burrito around!! Good service”“

“This place is awesome if you want some tacos the first time I came there approximately 10 years ago I ordered four tacos and ended up leaving with 12 tacos. I took my niece whose autistic and very picky in each like a bird however she ate two of those tacos with all the fixings. And she's been bugging me to go back so it looks like we're going to be going back this week because I can't get enough of these tacos they have a lot of other food there you should definitely check it out amazing people amazing chefs amazing cute little taco shop“

“Best taco truck I have found, their street tacos are awesome!!“

“this is by far thee best Mexican restaurant in Tacoma! Amazing food. Amazing people! all around the best place to go!“

“Lmk if you can find better food I’ll wait I bet you can’t“

“I'm so glad I stopped. Zoilas Mexican food truck is delicious. A very nice menu done well hot fresh and tasty. Although this is a truck the food is better than many restaurants. Looking forward to going back it will be a regular stop for me and my son.“

“I can't say enough about how delicious the food is. And please check it out if you don't believe me but it's cheaper than joke in the box or macd machine and the food is so worth it also supports local food service and owners instead of the big food machine's.“

“Great food, very fresh and well presented. I think the jalapenos could have been a little bit more tender. They were chard, and really tasty, but cooking them a bit more would have been great. Definitely recommend. We will be back.

Kid-friendliness: kids are definitely welcome“

“We ate here today for the first time, had the chilaquiles, asada baked potato, and asada tacos. Food was delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“The classic shady looking mexican places always have the best serving food. Moment I saw how it looked, I knew it was going to be great and it is!
Sadly, they run out of pork tamales because everyone keeps buying it out. Ask while you have the chance.
If they don't have any, don't be too disappointed as they have loads of other foods that are just as 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.“

“exelente servicio todo muy sabroso 100%recomendado.“

“I would definitely return. We went for the first time in September. We were pleasantly surprised to be offered samples of the meat. This definitely helped us decide what to order, it was great. More meat and rice options than Chipotle.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the owner coming over to chat with us and make sure that we were happy with our food, it was clear that this place is important to him! He also offered us the banana cream desert, it was SO good.“

“The food was great the service was amazing. It felt like a mix between fast food and a diner; you ordered at the front but they brought the food to you. The prices are reasonable. The food portions were big which is always a plus, more to take home.

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see anything about wheelchair accessibility directly but it is a one floor restaurant with tables and parking that can be used for accessibility.“

“this spot has been a part of Tacoma since the mid to late 90's the food has always been great and the prices have always been reasonable for what you get.“

“This seems to be the same staff/owners of Indita Mia, just with a new name and menu. We had two different beef taco plates (asada and chile con carne) and a wet burrito with steak. They way overdo it with the onions but it’s easy to pick some off.“

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

“Been coming here for years ! Always the best !“

“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“

“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“

“Delicious food. Run by a nice family excellent customer service.“

“The incredible menu, but mostly that awesome, beautiful, efficient, amazing bartender Davon! ❤“

“The food was absolutely amazing! The serving sizes are generous and the food was seasoned really well. I ordered the tacos and the meat was very tender and saucy and the toppings were fresh. My significant other ordered the tostadas and they were packed high with toppings. The only downsides are that the location is cash only and that food runs out early (so definitely try to get there early! I got there at 7:30 and the location was out of rice and beans)“

“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!!“

“always friendly great variety of menu items“

“lots of food worth the price“

“The lady was very good to my cousin and I, gave us free food for we were waiting kn our family to get there. The service, great. The food, loved it. The only thing about it is that there is a Crack on a certain window, and you can feel the cold wind blowing on your back. It didn't bother me whatsoever, however, if you get cold easily, you will feel it. Also, the main door keeps on staying open.“

“We went here shortly before the movies to get the same price of snacks but better food the food was great there was a lot for the amount we paid and the service was great the employees were very nice and the food was out quick. Overall, it was a very nice place to eat!“

“My first time there, I had the Torta, it was the best Tora I ever had, it was so delicious, definitely going back and huge Tamales also good and I also had the Flan also the best flan!“

“friendly atmosphere...crisp meat burrito“

“Loved this restaurant within walking distance of the Murano hotel we stayed at. Best Mexican food we have found so far since we've been in Washington for 2 years! Margaritas were ok, but nothing like the ones we had when we lived in Texas!“

“Pretty consistent good food. We have had food issues on rare occasion but they have always taken care of us. Service matters and they are always friendly and willing to fix mistakes. We eat in the lobby occasionally and it's always clean and the counter service is great.“

“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!!“

“Always amazing food and fast service“

“Just put in my first order with them through Uber Eats. My Ubereats guy canceled my order and stole my food (I had no idea) I called Rancherita up and asked what happened. The guy on the phone was so so nice and explained they made the order and what happened. I put in a second order and he called me back just to let me know they made it and it was picked up and he hoped it got to me this time! Amazing service and help, super great staff. I haven't gotten the food yet but I'm sure it's amazingly good. 100% recommend!!“

“very good food and service“

“It was my first time here and I can say that they have a great variety of food that you don't know what to choose from and it is very delicious. I ordered beef and roast chicken and it was very delicious, the fresh waters were delicious, the place was very clean and everything was very well arranged and something really good and convenient, well at least for me, I'm always looking at where I buy my meats, bread and things from home. I found it super, super convenient because next door they have a wooow store super stocked with everything with meats, bread, vegetables, crafts, soaps My people are everything, so I invite you to come because I personally liked the food a lot and the lady who served us was very kind when she saw that we didn't know what to order, she started giving us options and well, I was delighted with her store. ??and I'm sorry I didn't take photos, I forgot because I was looking at the store ?“

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

“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!“

“Buried inside a nondescript strip mall, this is an authentic gem for real Oaxacan food. Huge variety, all carefully prepared by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Oh, please order the Tepache drink: freshly made and super-delicious.Only downside: portions are HUGE. I would have liked to try multiple, smaller plates

Kid-friendliness: Huge food court with plenty of large tables.“

“Phenomenal foods here. I especially love the Chili Verde and Chili Colorado. The refried beans are to die for. I come here once a week, it's so good.“

“exelente club buen lugar para pasar una buena noche ,“

“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!“

“our family of 12 went out to this wonderful place that serve only marisco, i on the other hand would always leave food on the plate but i really enjoy coming to this place to eat delicious marisco horchata was supper good, will be coming back here every time service is good! will be back!“

“First time diner!
I came in because of the deals on birria and loved everything else I got. When I say that the food here is good, I mean it. Not just good, exceptional!

We ordered the super nachos, quesabirria, carnitas street tacos and finished it off with fried ice cream. Whoever cooks the meat here must really love their job because everything i ate was perfection!

I can't wait to come back. The rest of tacoma needs to stop sleeping on this restaurant“
