22 Best Mexican Restaurants near Tenino

“After a pretty crappy experience that went sideways because of a language barrier (assuming) i was able to speak to the owner and can say i do recommend this establishment. Greatly appreciated his replies to reaching out to him!“

“the food is great and the price“

“The most authentic food ive ever had in my life and thats saying something. Ive experienced a lot of authentic Mexican dishes growing up & the food stopped me in my tracks. The flavor of the food was out of this world and I found myself, savoring every single bite. It will make you not want to go anywhere else!“

“We stopped by en route to Portland from Bellevue and ordered the fish tacos and the shrimp tacos. It came with a side of rice and beans. Everything was delicious and most importantly fresh, from the tortillas to the fish and condiments. It’s approximately a 7 minute detour from the highway and in a very unassuming place, but we loved it.“

“This place is legit. So I got seriously into burritos when I lived in San Francisco 20 years ago. In the Mission District you can't walk 10 ft without running into a taqueria and they all are wonderful. One of the things I missed was a spot I would frequent for their chorizo burrito. They fried the chorizo till it was nice and crispy which made all the difference in the world. I have yet to come across a place since that does that. This place does and it immediately brought back memories. Also, these burritos are HUGE. I don't have a scale on me, but if it was less than 2lbs I'd be surprised. Also, as most have said, the owner/chef is super friendly. Glad this place isn't close to home or I would be eating here every other day 😂“

“a lot of attention to detail goes into this place, even down to the restrooms. the food is tasty. the service is great.“

“Great place to shop with an awesome selection. I especially love the donuts, the variety of spices, and the unique selection of Catholic candles 🕯️ there’s always something interesting to find.

Unfortunately, my experience with customer service wasn’t as positive. One staff member was quite rude when I had trouble hearing her. Instead of simply speaking louder or more clearly, she raised her voice in a way that felt disrespectful.

I’d still recommend the store for its products, but I hope they can improve their customer service to match the quality of what they offer.“

“Just stopped in to have a late lunch and kill some time. Hands down the best food and customer service! Food was fantastic, service was fast, food was hot and just delicious. Can't wait to bring the hubby! My new go to for Mexican food craving. Now if they just served margaritas 🤌“

“Absolutely hands down the most amazing food ever! It was my first time here and I'm planning on coming back tomorrow and every chance I get. The staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely a must!“

“Service is always good. Same with the food. The ONLY complaint, tables aren't kept clean, BUT it's because the place is so busy!“

“These are my absolute favorite tortas! His ingredients he uses always taste fresh and his verde salsa has no comparison.“

“Great food, reasonable prices, creative dishes. I would definitely recommend this food establishment.“

“We have traveled all across America, moved to another state, and all I could think of when coming back to Washington was getting to eat at the Mayan and once again enjoy a peach margarita! The staff is friendly and still known to me. Jose and Nick are the best. Thank you, thank you!“

“burrito dos amigos is BOMB! so yummy!!“

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

“This place is amazing. They are very friendly to people who are picky eaters. I ordered just grilled chicken and rice, and it's delicious. The walls are a good yellow. The lights are soft, and the servers are very friendly. I may be biased because I grew up eating here, but I love it. Absolutely wonderful.“

“I really love this place but I can understand the reviews on it. The chips one time made me sick I think they had too much oil on them. the burritos and the carne asada fries are pretty good could use more seasoning but overall I liked it. the customer service was just as expected. very average mexican restraunt experience.“

“I love their food, i average eating there three times a week, love the friendly kind staff,always makes me feel good with there smile, try there #8 it’s awesome!“

“Staff was really friendly!

Update July 30 11:45pm. The lady working the drive threw was really rude. Was complaining about customers while almost throwing my food out at me while not even looking. Sad how much it changed fron one night to the next.“

“If I could rate this location a 10 I would! We always get exactly what we order, food is always fresh and hot, and the service is always excellent!
What REALLY makes this place so special is the lady who packed our Luxe Boxes tonight, you can tell she absolutely loves what she does and I hope she is working every time we come through! She took the extra step to connect with the customers and I'm glad I got to say thank you over the phone to her! (I believe her name was Akita? But my phone was very fuzzy during the call so I do apologize for most likely hearing that wrong!)
Anyways, we will always choose this location, and I hope the staff tonight gets well deserved recognition from those higher up, specifically the lady who drew the cats on our Boxes :) THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH!!“

“We are big fans of this Taco Bell! We’ve been here two different times and had extraordinary customer service both times. We stopped in on our way to and from Portland, thank you for making our day! Thank you for encouraging us all to live mas!“
