“Hole in the wall type of place you gotta find it or want it to go there. Prices are right for the quality food they got. I was surprised they had vegan options for crepes. Service was good just good. I haven't needed anything from them but they were fast to get our order.def will be coming back for vegan crepes.“
“Best Mexican food I have had in years. The server told us about each of the dishes and I ordered the Torta Ahogada which is a dish I was not familiar with. They recommended dipping the Tacos Dorados in the sauce. The staff are clearly passionate about sharing their food culture. It was so delicious. They also have a few vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. Highly recommend.“
“Stopped for lunch while traveling through. We chose this spot based on the great reviews and they were absolutely spot on. We love Mexican food and it’s a regular choice for us. This was one of the best Mexican spots I’ve been to in years. Absolutely a 5 star spot!Dietary restrictions: Keto friendly.“
“I visited the Taqueria Oaxaca today for the first time!I now regret not taking a photo! The food was plated beautifully! Yes! they made togo look amazing!I have never had an empanda before! I am aways leary to try a new place and new item the same visit! Feein brave I went for it. And the cook... ! Did Not Disappoint!!Street tacos were very good also, let me say, I was happy to find they were traditional (to theTC area) taco truck style! Great flavor and yummy green sauce!It's a 2-fer day! Foodie Find! Great new spot to take my peeps! And a new found love of empanadas!Way to Go! Very good Taqueria!“
“Stopped in randomly while on a road trip, just passing through. Taco joint across the street had zero cars, compared to Sazon which was packed. Took that as a sign! Sooo sooo good. Super casual place, with a drive through. But good portion sizes and the 3 dishes we got were so tasty!“
“Food and service is pretty good, and the staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere kind of reminds me of a Sherri's Restaurant.I had the Pollo a la Crema and it was pretty good, my cousin had the combo plate - tortas and Chili Rellano with beans and rice and, he loved it. My other cousin had the chicken enchiladas and said they were good.They also have a salsa bar with a variety of salsas, jalapenos and other toppings.Overall, a great experience.“
“Just the place I've been looking for! I've tried alot of the local places but they just don't come close to Cinco de Mayo. The value for the amount is great in my opinion, the combo is platter size almost the size of a big lasagna. Definitely have earned a repeat client.“
“We were in town for a tournament and had a large party for the restaurant to accommodate. Besides the food being really good, the service was excellent. I wish we caught her name, but the woman who helped us really warm and friendly, and all of the families in our party commented on how happy she made everyone feel. The next time we’re in town, we’ll be back. Thank you!Kid-friendliness: We had many teens, and they were so nice!“
“First impression was he won my vote because he opened the door for me and my elderly mother. Interior was clean with nice deco. Our food was delicious. Chips were slightly over cooked but the salsa was fresh and delicious. I've never had a sope and will definitely come back for another one. We will be back!“
“This place is always so good. Sometimes they run out of birria, but that's how you know it's home made, baby! The ladies that work there make it feel like home. Great service, great food, even take out. Have been and will be back again! ?“
“Casa Rosita is our go-to taco truck. A lot of other trucks taste very similar to each other, like they buy preseasoned may from the same place. Rosita's has its own flavor that really stands out. Service is always fast and friendly, and there is a cute little seating area out front. Being right off of Columbia Center, it can be a little noisy, and they don't grill the tortillas for tacos. That said, when I want tacos, I go see the folks at Casa Rosita. You should give them a try!Kid-friendliness: They are in a parking lot, right off of a busy street. You really have to keep an eye on kids. But there is a nice park a couple blocks up with a playground and covered picnic tables“
“Second visit. Delicious. Expanded our options and tried sopes which were fantastic and taco salads.———-Insane. Delightful. Cheesy and greasy and hot. A taco full of wonderful things like meat, cheese, onions, radishes, Guac, jalapeños, and hot sauce. Get these bomb tacos (the name is so appropo) and the consome. It’s finger lickin’ good. The birria, the asada, and the pollo were all outstanding.“
“First off, props for bearing the single digit weather! I originally came to The Hub to try a different truck, but they ended up being closed due to the cold, so I decided to give this place a try. The food was delicious, and the girl was super nice.“
“First time at Chipotle's for me! I ordered a burrito and was shocked as they kept adding to it. It took me two days to finish it. Everything was fresh and very tasty. One plus I appreciated is the free samples. For those that like tofu, it was spiced really well. They also had quite a few choices of vegies and salsas to choose from. Great price, especially for how much you get!Vegetarian options: Tofu is great!“

“Maybe the best Mexican we’ve had ever, and we eat out throughout the Pacific Northwest. Great seafood, the ceviche is amazing with big shrimp like you find on the coast, and fresh. The steak fajitas both alone and in other dishes like chimichangas is good enough just to eat as a nice steak. The staff is super friendly and check on you often, seem experienced. And the setting is awesome, up on the hill with a good view and nice outdoor seating.“
“I'd give it more stars if available.Humble taco bus with picnic tables but what it lacks in aesthetics, it makes up in flavor and service.Home made tortillas, Home made salsa verde and salsa Roja. Both complex, flavorful and just the right amount of heat.I ordered my tacos to go and when I ate them, they were still hot and not soggy at all. Tortillas held up these are best tacos in the Tri-Cities Area. They're open until 10pm when everything is closed by 8pm around Clover Island. I asked why the name Marino and did not get a convincing answer. I didn't mind; I was there for dinner and it made my night!! Highly recommend!! I had Tripitas extra crispy, lengua, y cabeza. Yum Yum“
“Been stopping at El Fat Cat for lunch for years. It is the most reasonably priced, and consistently delicious food of any restaurant in the Tri Cities. Not to mention the incredible staff. Every time I am there, it brightens my day and I leave with a smile. Incredible staff and delicious food….what more can ya ask for? Thank you El Fat Cat!“
