“The employee on shift Friday afternoon went above and beyond to help me out together a burrito bowl meal for my sick friend. Absolutely excellent customer service. She was so kind and helpful even though it can't be easy working in food service. Thank you, you made my day! I wish I had gotten your name so I could put it in this review“

“Came by for brunch after hitting the farmers market. Everything we ate was fantastic! Kaylie was our server and she made great suggestions and was consistently checking in on us to make sure we were well taken care of. The price was also very reasonable, we’ll definitely be returning.“

“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“

“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“

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

“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.“

“We celebrated my daughter's 19th birthday here last night, and when I say everything was PERFECT, I mean it was perfect. The moment we stepped through the doors, the staff was awesome, the food amazing and the waterfront location added to an already beautiful atmosphere. We are very greatful to be treated like family on her special day and will be returning again and again.

The vampiritos, gorditas, all the salsa, burritos and enchiladas were incredible. And the guacamole was 😘 chefs kiss, wonderful.“

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

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

“I almost don't want to tell anyone how good this place is as I don't want to share, but seriously... This is probably the best authentic Mexican food in the area. The carnitas are great. I seriously get three meals out of them. Dinner and two breakfasts (with added egg). But I don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu.“

“muy Buena comida la recomiendo los tacos estan deliciosos“

“This place is a hidden gem. I loved everything even my kids loved it. We had the quesabirrias, gordita (asada), taco plate (asada), quesadilla (asada) and some tacos (buche).From food to service this place deserves a 5 star review. I extremely recommend it!!“

“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!“

“Dont even know where to start with this place, absolutely delicious food, employees are so nice and attentive and treat their customers so well., the quesa birria is to die for, super authentic. Might be the best mexican food in tacoma/lakewood area.“

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

“We LOVE El Pueblito! The Gig Harbor location has been a favorite of our family for years. The staff is always friendly and treat us like family! Seriously the best!!! We love the super nachos, macho burrito, and original chili relleno! so good.“

“food is delicious and good drinks“

“Delicious! Pretty darn authentic. Tijuana? Maybe more Boyle Heights… But, yummy!!“

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

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

“This unassuming little place is a true gem. The food quality is unmatched, the portions are large and more than plentiful, and there price point it alittle less than you might expect in this economy, the service is friendly and helpful and the establishment is always clean. I would go out of my way to get there anytime but fortunately my apartment is directly behind the restaurant. That they are busy all the time means they have a high rate of turning over there food so it's all fresh and tasty, I love the place and once you try it you will always come back, sincerely Dru 😋“

“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!“

“Went in to get a chicken bowl and had to change my mind to the cholula chicken, I wasn't going to get it as first but after trying a small sample it changed the game for me food was very good and delicious, very clean restaurant would go back“

“love the food, love the prices, love the people most, and love the special decor that makes the atmosphere magical!“

“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.“

“Best food around, not everyone enjoys burgers everyday!!! Love the crisp beef burritos, that is my favorite 😋“

“food is delicious and good drinks“

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

“Tonight I had the pleasure to try the cuisine at the new Port Orchard location. Yareli took charge of my order at my request. I was served the best fish taco's with Verde Salsa and lime. The three taco's reminded me of eating a chefs delightful creation at a high end Bistro. I was instantly transported back in time to Mazatlán eating on the playa. I would not order fish taco's normally and Yareli picked this winner for me. Each bite was followed by a uhmmm. I expected something to tear me out of this euphoric moment but after downing three taco's I was still firmly planted in Heaven. I was wise to drip the juices and seasoning from the taco into the rice. What a nice way to accent my meal. I braced myself for the refried beans that had grown cool but found them very fresh and delicious. Yareli inquired if I would desire a dessert. I asked her to pick it since her performance on the meal was top notch. Yareli provided a strawberry filled fried churro with the most delicate aroma. I would have licked the plate if I thought I could do it without being seen. Every bite was warm, sweet and delicious. Please don't think ill of me but the only downside to this experience was cheap silverware and the food is placed on a metal tray with a paper liner. It's my own fault after being in the military so long to develop a phobia over dining utensils. So in a nutshell my experience is on par with being given a shiny new high performance car but with the wrong style valve caps for the tires. I have been truly blessed to have this experience on a rainy night in Port Orchard Washington.“

“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.“

“They have great Mexican food.“

“Came with my husband- we shared a abodaba burrito and a 3 taco plate (carnitas, asada, and birria). It was all delicious! Burrito and carnitas were my fav. Will definitely be back and would recommend for an easy food grab in Gig Harbor! Salsas were also delicious!“

“the food was authentic Mexican. so yummy. we had the tacos with beef and cheese and quesadillas with beef and cheese. will definitely be back“

“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...“

“la foto habla por si sola. Que deprimente presentación. literal solo aparte los jalapeños y que me quedo.? ya no había tomate, se les agotó la cebolla al igual que las salsa. me dio más pena a mi reclamar esto que a ellos servirlo. una burla total. para comer no lo recomiendo.“

“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 .“

“It’s a nice place and I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu.“

“lots of food worth the price“

“Amazing people and amazing food!“

“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.“

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