“I'm from SoCal and finding good Mexican cuisine has been tough for the several non-consecutive years I've lived in WA. This place exceeded my expectations and I will recommend it to anyone coming this way. Thank you to the staff for their excellent service , food, drinks, and good memories.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are pretty clear. I always get the cheese enchiladas or chile rellano. Most dishes I'm pretty sure you may request no meat.Kid-friendliness: I've seen plenty of children here and people of all ages and families of all sizes including singles, although it is a quaint place and might appreciate a heads up in preparation for seating.“
“Visiting from Central California and found this gem! The environment is causal and family friendly, clean, and staff friendly. My order was Chile verde which was fresh and delicious & tortillas were served hot! My friend had a la cart tacos which she also enjoyed. I was not disappointed by the substitute of usually chips and salsa provided at most Mexican restaurants prior to ordering. Instead there pickled carrots and salsa verde were served which did not disappoint! Glad we came across this spot because it was a pleasant surprise!“
“My family and I have been eating at Don Garcia’s ever since I was a kid and has always just been one of the most amazing and most friendly person I’ve ever met in my entire life. He always makes sure to provide amazing service with a smile and make sure what he’s putting out in front of you is the absolute 100% that they can give! It is an absolute wonderful experience to dine in have a couple drinks and some amazing food and even better service! Thanks for always keeping my belly full haha!“
“I ordered 1plate combo of 2 tacos and 1 enchiladas combo for my mom. My initial reaction was that it was pricey for just those 2 meals. After scarfing everything down I would say it was worth it! The tacos, rice and beans were DELICIOUS! The seasoning was so flavorful! My mom raved about her enchiladas plate as well. The meals paired great with Jarritos.“
“I've been going here since I was a late teen. Consistent good food but prices are getting kinda crazy. Paid $30 for a regular nacho and some birria. Outside of that, owners are great, food is authentic and it's a staple that ain't goin nowhere.“
“My favorite spot in town. Delicious marinated meats in the carniceria, perfect bolero rolls for tortas in the bakery, the best avocados you can find, and ripe juicy mangos. Stepping into this store feels like you've be transported to Mexico. I go at least once a week.“
“Great service, super quick! Got tacos and a burrito. Tacos were loaded and quite tasty!Burrito was solid, good tortilla and rice, had salsa inside which was a fun surprise. Wasn't blow your mind amazing but good for a solid taco truck experience“
“The food and the atmosphere is one of the best we’ve experienced in a long time. Haley is an exceptional bartender with excellent customer service skills. She makes it a point to connect with customers upon arrival and with eye contact and a friendly greeting. She provided prompt, friendly and professional customer care throughout our entire dining experience and observed that she did the same for the entire bar area. It’s rare to fine a bartender who demonstrates and maintains this level of service consistently for all customers. She’s an icon that is worthy of being role modeled as we noticed that most if not all customers knew and appreciated her awesome service. We’ll definitely be coming back and will make it a point to add this location as our number experience for Mexican food in Lacey.“
“Absolutely incredible!! The flavors, the service, the authenticity! This food can not be beat. When I ever I see the truck, I have to stop and grab a torta with a coke. The service is always friendly and great recommendations. The waits are pretty quick considering everything is fresh made to order. The salsa is spicy but flavorful and delicious. Overall, I'm a huge fan of T&T and can't wait for my next order.“
“The food was amazing. My husband & I both got #4's to go with extra chips & salsa. It was $38 & it fed us 3 different times. We will likely go back once a month or when we have a craving for mexican. I give it a high recommendation!“
“Really like this place! Yummy chips and salsa, good portions and quick staff. The vegetarian options here are super delicious and it wasn't packed when we were there! Pretty expensive but that's common for Hispanic food in the area.“

“It was Easter Sunday and wasn't sure if they would be open but they were! Party of 3 we got seated right away by a fountain and live plants, I thought the atmosphere was fantastic. Our server was super friendly and helpful, had recommendations to provide us with. She gave us extras that we didn't ask for which was very much appreciated. The chips and salsa were good, warm and basic as to be expected. I ordered the enchiladas a la crema. It was good, wouldn't say great but I am picky about my refried beans which didn't have flavor. He got shrimp and chicken fajitas, it was huge portions of food and he said it was pretty good overall. Our daughter got a burrito, not sure which one as I was distracted by my tasty blackberry margarita but she said it was good as well. We will for sure be back here to try more soon, reading other reviews I guess it depends on your server and the time you go for an overall win.“
“Los Compadres has wonderful food, excellent kind and patient staff who have to deal with a variety of challenging cliental. The food is very good, always generous portions, beer is amazing and comes in frosted mugs. Service is first rate, friendly and fast.“
