40 Best Mexican Restaurants in Yakima

“Great service! Our server even brought us extra samples to test.“

“Excelente lugar para comer“

“Love this place! It’s my husband’s and I favorite spot to go on our weekly dates.
The servers know us by now and always know what we want and they have been wonderful at making their food vegan for me.
Everything is healthy and not covered in oil. Couldn’t say enough.
My only wish would be that they had tofu on their menu as an alternative option.
You won’t be disappointed!“

“Well priced and great food. The service was amazing. we will be back for sure.“

“best place in town! Definitely will be back. my granddaughters favorite place“

“Fast, fresh, friendly and fantastic family owned find❣️. You might find Mama talking your order or chatty Erik or more fam. Food is excellent. Limited menu, but that’s good. And there are currently sweet EMPANADAS!! They’re small, delicate and delectable.I love the pineapple and Nutella is an option. My uncle loved the cocoa flan. 😍 I think my fave taco place is now a contender for an espresso stop with, did I mention, EMPANADAS!?!“

“The owner responded to my last review said I got the tacos mixed up with another place and he was right. I mixed them up with a place that’s down the road from them! Then I remembered this place to a T!
This place when I came was packed with guys sitting in front drinking beer in their paper bags, getting wasted out front just staring. No where to sit. Only some of those guys were eating most/almost all drinking.. If you’re female, be warned you are going to be gawked at!!
The food was good. Tacos were good, the torta we got the bread was burnt. We only tried the asada and it was pretty good decent. Overall the place is good but parking sucks, sitting and eating there was not an option. The wait time did take awhile, but it was busy. I would come back, but maybe not on a Saturday!“

“This was our first trip back to Yakima in 15 years. We Googled for a good Mexican restaurant and picked El Pastor. We were impressed with the friendly service and made to order food. Best we have had in a long time! Highly recommend. We were in Yakima for the fog show, so we took our food to go.“

“Hubby and I enjoy happy hour and an appetizer (taquitos are our favorite) every once in a while. The staff is always friendly, the food is always quick and yummy!“

“Fabulous food!!! Amazing flavors that explode in your mouth! The owner is real, local and so kind! A must try in restaurant in Yakima!“

“I just went there and there was a man that was mentally ill that I tried giving money to. He couldn't hardly speak but I got the hint he wanted food. I gave them $5 for food for him. I know it wasn't enough to cover his meal but as I was watching from the rearview mirror I could see them passing him the food. Thank you so much for that! Everyone knows this place has good food that's why everyone goes there but it takes good people to do that for someone.“

“We love this restaurant! Employees are kind. Food is always great.
My daughter went and picked up an order today and the gentleman in the front carried the order out for her and she didn’t even have to ask. She has a disability and most people don’t help her unless she asks. Thank you so much for being so kind!“

“My first visit was an incredible trip from Oregon through this region. I loved finding a lunch box with such delicious tacos and quesabirria. It is totally recommended. It is a good place to eat and remember our taste of Mexico with a variety of sodas and fresh water. place to enjoy outdoors or takeaway

“This is a little orange food truck not to be missed!!! I'm so blessed to live close by. Put this number on your speed dial for a super lunch. Tacos, extremely great,. the burrito is big enough for two. Nicest ladies, from Mexico so you know its authentic.“

“48th and tieton truck for the win. I asked if they could make me some chilaquiles and they were bomb. I usually get their tortas yet their chilaquiles might be my new go to. 💜💜💜💜 Thank you for making my day!“

“Excelente servicio, todo muy rico 😋🫶🏼“

“Muy buena comida muy buena atención“

“Very good service and delicious food. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in town, location is clean as well as bathrooms, and employees are very friendly and attentive. Had my favorite dish today which is Carne Asada and it did not disappoint.“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Karaoke y drinks specials“

“Every dish I’ve tried has good flavor! Great customer service,very friendly and social.“

“Always look forward to the tamales and pork carnitas at Hernandez. The ladies who take my order and prepare the food are always friendly and helpful.“

“Amazing food and great prices!!!“

“Man, I really wish I could give five stars it's so close bro. Drinks are a bit over priced for the size and serving imo. My suggestion lower drink prices 2-3 dollars or serve it in a fishbowl and have a rotating drink special that make people want to show up in droves. I think that's enough criticism for now let me get to the juicy goods.

I have to share what they nailed and just got it right! The rice and beans had the right amount of seasoning, almost up to abuelas standards, probably better than your mom but still not as good as your suegra. The crisp on the asada was 🔥 and didn't need salt, it was like a machaca crisp with asada flavor. I would like to see at least one more traditional carne option like cabeza or carnitas supreme 🤤 and I feel like maybe I need to scope out the camarones next time, I'll let y'all know but overall la experiencia fue buena please check it out and enjoy“

“I’ve been going here forever, great family, great staff, always friendly! Very authentic food, and the seafood is amazing as well! Highly Recommended! Their drinks are excellent as well, I almost forgot to mention that!“

“The food is great. Thanks Melena.“

“great spot! everyone was so welcoming. I randomly stopped in while charging my car nearby, not realizing it was cash only and they saw how lost I looked and helped me figure out how to pay.

and the meat and salsa are so good!! (and reasonably priced.) highly recommend! just be sure to bring cash!!“

“This truck came to a lunch event at my school, and when I tell you they had the BEST shredded pork quesadillas I've ever had, I mean it. I love Mexican food, and I’ve had many a quesadilla in my life. But in Yakima, this food truck is unmatched. I finished my food and immediately wanted more. The line was thirty minutes (there were a LOT of people) because all the students knew their food was amazing.

Overall, I’d 100% go back. It was completely worth the long line.“

“We walked in and almost had the place to ourselves there were two playing pool and us. Admittedly it was after regular dinner hours. The food was great. The server gave a recommendation that hit the spot! We didn't know whether to feel safer or worry about our safety when the security guard showed up but overall we had a great time with great food.“

“We all know there are many "taco trucks" in Yakima, but this taco truck is by far my favorite. The quality of food for the price is just amazing. The hand made tortillas are delicious. I come here anytime I'm downtown and in the mood for Mexican food. I would recommend this place to anyone!“

“I come here often, and the food is legitimately good, and the prices are comparable to fast food (so you’re getting better food at a similar price), but there are some quality consistency issues. 1/3 times either the refried beans are quite runny, or the fries are undercooked, or condiments are forgotten. The last one isn’t really a big deal, but when there are small issues like that 1/3 of the time, it can feel like sort of a gamble, which is disappointing Overall I’d still recommend El Ranchero, though, because the quality/value is still strong all put together, and one of the girls who works here is incredibly nice—so I’d still say five stars overall, just with the caveat that consistency could be a little better.“

“I hired them to cater for an event for about 200 people with their taco truck; they gave each guest their orders, and it was never cold, made to their request, and made with great taste quality. I will hire them again and even visit their in-person restaurant.“

“My wife came home from having spent time in Yakima Friday afternoon and was raving about your place. If she is that impressed it must be a good place.“

“Honestly I haven't tried their food yet, but they're funny. 🤷🏻‍♂️“

“The chicken tamales were great! Gotta go again for the pork ones!“

“Mexican Molcajetes Grilled meat of your choice served on top of a grilled nopal (cactus) leaf, covered in homemade salsa, a slice of Mexican cheese, fried jalapeños, and served in a hot Mexican molcajete. was so satisfying.i am on keto so no chips rice tortilla or beans. so rich and delicious! servers were nice too.“
