I grew up eating authentic homemade Mexican food made in the traditional abuelita way, about as Mexican as can get, so when I eat Mexican food outside of my house, it's hard for me to be impressed. Well, Erik definitely does it.His food is food is far and away the best Mexican food in town, and it's not even close. This is really authentic homemade Mexican food like it should be. The flavors are bold, flavorful, and full of goodness no matter the food, and I've had them all. Erik himself is as amazing as his food, and he makes every eating experience memorable with his amazing personality.Do you want real, authentic Homemade Mexican food made the right way? This is the only place in Yakima to get it. Anything less than 5 stars is a travesty to the deliciousness and authenticity of the food served here. Do I recommend this place? Without hesitation, you will not regret it.The only downside is that Erik roots for Chivas, but other than that him and the restaurant as good as they come.

The food is always so YUMMY! The service is great. Erik just chats it up with all the customers and makes the place feel comfortable. I love going there!

Wow! Passing through. Extremely personable owner who is great with kids. Homemade tortillas, generous portions, quick service. Very fresh. Worth a stop!

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!?!

Recommended dishes: Everything! I’ve had it all and will gladly do so again. Supreme taco is my portable go-to most often.

The food is always great and the staff is always very friendly and helpful! My girlfriend and I were craving breakfast burritos, which they didn't have on the menu, but they made it for us anyways and it was delicious. We will definitely be returning to try out some of the other options very soon. Highly recommend this place!

This place is legendary! If you want authentic Mexican food with excellent customer service and you want to feel at home… This is the spot. You are missing out if you’re not here often.

They are a in-store restaurant (his mama's restaurant), and then in the evenings and weekends (when he's not at Bale Breaker on Saturdays), Erik the Mercede's kid is open in front at the food truck. It's delicious. Truly.

This is my favorite Mexican food in town, he uses high quality ingredients especially the meat. It's always fresh. I've never had a bad experience with this gem.

In the top 5 taco trucks in yakima valley. Cheeto burrito is legit, torta is legit. I'm assuming everything is legit! They had a long line that never quit but worth the wait.

Jose Sanchez

Probably some of the best tacos I've ever had. Erik is super cool too! ?????
