50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Yakima

“Excelente lugar para comer“

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

“Thieves!!!!! This used to be our fav Mexican food place BUT they habitually double charge or add additional orders on your credit card. Several times they have added items to our bill that we didn’t order and waitress had to take them off. The last time, we had dinner and bill was $54. When I got my bank statement, the $54 plus tip charge was there AND a charge for $107. I called them repeatedly and each time the lady acted like she couldn’t speak English and kept telling me “no manager” and “not today. I had to dispute it with my bank. My husband was telling a coworker what happened and that person’s parents had the same thing happen to them!!!!!!! If this happened to 2 random orders, I’m sure it’s happened to others. NEVER going back. YAKIMA BEWARE!“

“We received outstanding and caring service for our Saturday lunch. I had two enchiladas (one chicken, one cheese) and while I would have liked a bit more spice in it, I know that's not the case for everyone so they are best to stick with mild. Especially since it was easily remedied with maybe the most perfect side salsa that I've ever had. Thoroughly enjoyable, along with great beans and rice.

I live 2 hours away but El Pastor has given me great incentive to make the trek out to them more often. Very reasonable prices to boot!“

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

“Love this authentic mexican food truck. Service always 10/10 Here. The owners are always so nice and helpful. If theres any issues they always are helpful and respectful. Food is 10/10 very good and flavorful the chiles are amazing . Recommend this food truck 100%“

“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!?!“

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

“THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE. 20 years. I've never had a better mole enchilada.

Hot beans and salsa with my chips😍😍

I'd pay double for this.

I'm a customer for life.

There is nothing better as a man at a dinner table when you get handed a massive mug to drink out of. Something about it just feels damn good.

Huge portions. Lunch for tomorrow. Or dinner for 2 with a grande combination!

Seasoned perfectly!“

“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.“

“This is a family owned restaurant, and I had the pleasure of teaching their son. The food is authentic and delicious. If you haven't been there before go check it out today! #supportlocal“

“The food is made fresh and is delicious, the service was great.“

“I thought it was going to be a sit down with a menu nope it was like a fast food restaurant So I ordered the Birriamen soup and it came with 2 quesabirria Did not disappoint when they called our number I about fell over the amount what I was about to eat the service was GREAT ,THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS The left overs I took home well let’s just say dinner and breakfast might just happen If you haven’t been GO GET THERE However the take home bowls a little iffy but I’m coming back for sure“

“Excelente servicio, todo muy rico 😋🫶🏼“

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

“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

Parking: It is shared with the laundry but has parking space

Kid-friendliness: Only for dads who want to have a good time with their children outside... a pleasant time“

“Central Washington best💕🎉“

“Excelente lugar para comer“

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

“Puerto escondido es uno de los muchos restaurantes qué hay en Yakima Wa. Su comida exquisita:Filete relleno de pulpo y camarón bañado de salsas especialidad de la casa, atendido por sus propietarios: Noé, María Luisa y Jesús Castillo.“

“The guys are great, the food is awesome!!!!“

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

“The food is great. Thanks Melena.“

“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.“

“Let's get the obvious out the way... the place looks run down. The public eating area looks like the inside of a garage, and the smaller space next to the kitchen is far from cozy.The food though, is great! I suggest getting drive thru and avoid the noon lunch hour rush because it gets busy and wait times can get long.“

“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!“

“Have never had a bad meal here. The servings are large even at lunch time. The service is great and the people are warm and friendly. The prices are the same as every other restaurant in the area. We drive over the mountain passes for a day drive so we can eat at El Porton's, takes us 2 1/2 hours. We make at least three trips a year and would be more if it wasn't for the winter weather. Can't wait for the next trip for lunch.

Vegetarian options: Burritos, stir fry dishes, salads and more

Dietary restrictions: Will leave out ingredients upon request.

Parking: Handicap parking available with only four places but all the parking places are flat and would be easy for handicap people to get around.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair accessible, inside and outside.“

“Excellent food.

Tacos el rey is one of the more authentic Mexican food restaurants in the area. Its menu is modest in size, but what it lacks in variety, it more than makes up in quality and authenticity. The good always has the right amount of spice and flavor. The carnitas are wonderful, and the sopes are top notch; not that different from what my mom would make, and that's saying something.

Tacos el rey has a special that really shines. Its either two tacos, two sopes, or one and one, plus beans and rice, for less than $10, to the best of my recollection. That special alone has always been enough to leave me full for hours and hours.

The staff has always been friendly, and the salsas that they have contain the right amount of spiciness for most people. I wholeheartedly recommend this place, especially for lunch, which is when they have their special. Lots of high quality food for very reasonable prices.“

“We were greeted with a smile and a "Welcome" the minute we walked in the door. No wait. Tables and floors spotless. Drink and condiment area spotless. Restrooms spotless. Temp in building didn't freeze you out - it was very comfortable. Pleasant surprise on our way through Yakima!“

“so delicious! some of the best mexican food in Yakima!“

“will definitely go back 😋“

“Very bad service, first I asked to take my food and then when I saw a table I changed my mind and they didn't want to change my order to eat there when someone did me the favor of making it to eat there we sat down and they went and got me up from the table when I was already I was eating to seat someone else, that bothered me too much!!!!!! But I was hungry and finished my meal and I don't plan to return, terrible experience!!!!!“

“Went there for lunch recently and wow! Great flavors with all the salsas, the torta was delicious and the tacos were the perfect size! We got burritos to go and the girl that works there is the best! Great prices and great food! Definitely give it a try, you will want to go back!!“

All made with Quality Ingredients you can really tell the difference please try them out you won’t regret it! If you really want to treat yourself, I don’t think anyone comes close to their Sunday Brunches!🔥👑💯☝🏽Does your favorite restaurant have a DJ for Brunch?!🥱😏🎧🎶I don’t think so🤷🏽‍♂️ I could go on and on about this place but just go see the talented/beautiful woman waiting to take care of you there, you won’t regret it!🙏🏽👑☝🏽💯🥰 OOHHHH YEAH KARAOKE!!! That’s literally my favorite part but I was thinking of other reasons why I love this place and so many came up almost forgot to add that part!🤣🫶🏽🎤“

“Ordered the caldo de Pollo and Tacos de lengua. Both were fantastic. Caldo was perfect. Not greasy, great tasting brith and a perfect amount of rice and tortillas to round it out. Tacos are some of the best in West Valley. Don't be fooled by the locale or the lack of decor- some.of the best Mexican food is inside this place. Don't sleep on Tacos El Rey!!!!“

“Delicious food, good service, clean restaurant, good atmosphere! Highly recommend if you like roasted chicken. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was a DoorDash order. I got it pretty quick and the food was hot.. I got the Ramen and two taco combo. The size was just fine. I’m not sure why people are complaining about the size of the food.

I got chicken as my meat for my tacos, I was pretty surprised that they didn’t have salsa or sauce for the tacos, but it was still juicy.

The Brea Ramen was pretty good. The only thing I didn’t like is there was not a lot of meat and the meat that was there was pretty soggy/tasteless so you only really tasted the sauce and the noodles But it was still hard to stop eating.

I also ordered the pudding/Arros de Leche for eight dollars I was disappointed I was not a fan. I did love the hibiscus drink.“

“This is the best place for brunch in Yakima!“

“This Taco Time on Yakima Avenue is #1! Outstanding drive thru with a super nice young man at the window to take your order,and right now they have a 5 till 7 pm bogo on Tacos!Limit 4??? and they're delicious! Thank you Taco Time for quality food and service!“

“Taco time on 16th ave is my favorite. The people are always friendly and the food is never different. Always the same taste. People say it's to expensive...i say you get what you pay for. I would rather spend a few more bucks than pay less and not have fresh ingredients.“

“Best taco 🌮 I’ve ever had!“

“Tried the Cali Burrito today for the first time and it was impressive. Will definitely be back again!“

“Service was great, our waitress was attentive and friendly. Quaint atmosphere, we really enjoyed the cantina feel. The food was delicious, for me, but it was a little too spicy for my wife. That's the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. She ate most of it, because it was great, but ooowwww the burn.... just a word of caution if your not use to great spicy food, this place kicks it up...?

Vegetarian options: Only one vegetarian option that we found, a veggie burrito, but it was pretty big and tasted amazing. Free chips and salsa when you get there, careful the salsa has a bite, but is also full of flavor and obviously fresh.“

“This place is absolutely delicious. Try their green salsa when you go. The Asada Tortas, and Pollo Tacos are my favorite here. It’s in a big white school bus, parked by a permanent wooden awning and park benches, you can’t miss it. Absolutely amazing food, better than most others in Yakima...in fact-this may be the BEST taqueria in Yakima county. You won’t be disappointed.“

“We went to dinner tonight and had the best service from Liz! She made the best Mojitos! Thanks Liz for you great customer service! Food was also amazing!“
