“One of the better Mexican style restaurants I have had the pleasure to eat at in Yakima. I had the Mole Burrito. It was quite good and the Mole sauce was some of the best that I have ever had. My only critique of the restaurant was that once we had our food, our server kind of disappeared.“
“Wonderful, attentive service. It was nice to see a restaurant staff work as a team, I know that a lot of places everybody seems to be on their own island, but here at El Mirador 2, everyone is definitely on the same team!The food was absolutely delicious. I would give it 10 out of 10 stars if I could!“
“I order not what I meant sometimes, and God bless the wonderful women who see me and know what I meant and fix it so I don't get home without my extra rice and beans ❤️❤️ this my usual spot and I love them forever the food is amazing and the staff is so friendly ?? all around “
“Great little family run Mexican food restaurant. It meets multiple criteria. First of all, authentic Mexican cooking isn’t going to come from a high school kid cranking out tacos. The kitchen and staff are authentic. Next criteria, when you see the restaurant packed with Hispanic diners, it’s a very good sign (never understood why Taco Bell checks that box often)The food and service were excellent. We will definitely be back!“
“Don’t skip this no frills place. As soon as my family of 6 walked in we were greeted with warm smiles and hellos. The salsa is amazing as other reviews have stated. The food is decently priced and we all enjoyed it! They don’t have a dedicated kids menu but my children just ordered from the “side orders”. They had a single enchilada, small nachos, and bean/cheese burrito. The service was 10/10!! Will absolutely go back whenever we’re in Yakima again.Kid-friendliness: Servers are really friendly and warm. My kids were a bit loud but they didn’t seem to mind. It’s a family-style environment.“
“The food was delicious. I only docked a star because of the price of the tacos. I got the quesabirria con consome(don't think I spelled that right) they were greasy but crisp and cheesy and had a lot of flavor. They serve chips, salsa, and beans to every table. The salsa was very mild. Little to no spice, but they definitely made up for that with the salsa that they serve with the food. I regretted underestimating the spice! My partner got the sopes and seemed to really enjoy them. He did say they were around the same price as the street tacos but much more filling for the price. I also got a mojito i thoroughly enjoyed. It was just strong enough and very refreshing.“
“(Translated by Google) The food is very tasty the size of the place does not matter when you make the food with love and dedication you can enjoy the difference thanks for giving it that touch of dedication I invite you to visit it and come and savor these delicacies(Original)La comida muy sabrosa el tamaño del lugar no importa cuando haces con amor y dedicación los alimentos se disfruta la diferencia gracias por darle ese toque de dedicación los invito a que lo visiten y pasen a saborear esas delicias“
“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.“
“I always try and eat here when I'm in town.We had a great dinner. Our server seemed very busy. He was very attentive but a little pushy. He took a plate away without asking, and we hadn't finished yet. I'm so thankful he didn't take my Pico de Gallo, I packed it all the way back to tri cities!“
“We were between Scorpion Tacos and Wendy’s for our Yakima road trip stop and I’m so glad we ended up here. The tacos are some of the best we’ve ever had- everything was fresh and delicious. They’re street size so if you’re hungry I would order 4-5. I’m devastated that we may never get to eat here again!“
“The food is awesome. Each dish is prepared well, and the meat is never dry. Always ask for the orange salsa.Parking: Parking lots is clean and well lit in the evening.Wheelchair accessibility: Building access and seating available and maintained for wheelchair access.“
“Great food, but... Menu said burrito was $7.50. It was actually $9, with no notice of price change until after the tasty burrito was presented. Not much meat on burrito, so I think it was overpriced, especially for carryout. It did taste great though.“
“(Translated by Google) First time there and it did not disappoint, the place is clean and tidy and has a pleasant atmosphere, the food is well seasoned and served properly. I think prices are a little high but with the economy this is to be expected. I recommend.(Original)Primera ves ahi y no defraudo,el lugar esta limpio ordenado y ambiente agradable,la comida buen sazon y servida adecuadamente.precios creo un poco elevados pero con la economia esta es de esperarse.recomiendo.Kid-friendliness: Ambiente“
“The food here was amazing and the space was low key, even low-rent looking. I walked in and approached the counter to order. The restaurant was sparsely decorated and felt bare. The order window was surrounded by menu items with pictures. The man at the counter proceeded to tell me about all of the specialties that were not on the menu. I had mariscos rancheros. The shrimp were salty, buttery, crisp and tender little presents of joy. Lying on a bed of hot, flavorful sautéed vegetables, with homemade tortillas so hot I couldn’t hold one for the first five minutes. My son was more conservative in his choice of beef tacos. He raved about the tender beef and flavorful fresh tortillas. I will be bringing my friends and family to this unassuming little gem with the great chef.“
“We are a robotics team from Vancouver, WA, and compete in Yakima every Spring. Our team always looks forward to our Tacos El Rey lunch and the staff take such good care of us! Everything is made from scratch, is fresh, and delicious. The service is consistent, amazing and they're able to feed our entire team and mentors - 60 people! The prices are more than reasonable. Tacos El Rey is a highlight of our trip each year. Thank you!“
“I had no idea that Los Hernandez Tamales had a second location. I was really questioning the GPS when it was leading us there but it didn't lead us astray at all. I knew only of the Union Gap location which is not far from the Interstate and just a little south of the Yakima city limits. But this location does indeed have a Yakima address. In some ways I like this location a little more. There is just a few more tables and seats at this location than the other and if you want a beer to go with your meal you can have one. Menu is a little bit expanded as well which I am sure is good but we can never pass up these James Beard award winning tamales when we are in the area. The tamales are as good as ever. I had a pork one and a Jalapeño one and they were just out of sight like they always are. We get the meal usually and the rice and beans that comes along with the tamales are just stellar. So very glad to know that another location exists in Yakima. It's a bit of a drive from the Interstate, twenty minutes about but the extra bonuses would make it worth it not that the Union Gap location doesn't deserve just as much love.“
“After being a customer for 15+ years, needless to say- this is my favorite taco place in town. I love the fact that the food here is wholesome. Ingredients are simple and I can order with confidence knowing the side of beans for my infant are not fried in lard and the tortillas are not dipped in oil. Just delicious handmade corn tortillas with whole toppings. What keeps me coming back is their fiery habanero salsa which never fails to disappoint!“
“Went in for lunch, had veggie tamales with rice and beans. All of the food was very good. The service was exemplary and the restaurant was very clean and nice to eat at. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone needing a good Mexican food fix.“
“I didn’t even know the place existed! One day I just searched Birria Tacos & it popped up in my google search.We decided on a dinner night & my husband said “we should go get you the tacos you wanted “So glad we went! Food was more than I expected!The birria is on point .It has the perfect amount of spices , it is well balanced between the soup & meat !The tacos are perfectly crunchy, not too soft not too hard!I mean Im not going to lie. I have a difficult palate, it’s hard to impress my palate. And I was impressed & satisfied with this meal!The meal & the price !We posted our dinner on snap , & already have friends saying they will be going to the Wapato location! We too will be going back!Parking: It shares parking spaces with different businesses in the little plazaKid-friendliness: I would say kids are allowed, I did not see high chairs but that does not mean they dont have them!“
“(Translated by Google) The food here is really very good. Especially very fresh, the waiting time is sometimes an inconvenience for us, but really here every minute you wait is worth it. The best place to eat Mexican food in the city!!!(Original)De verdad la comida aquí es muy rica. Sobre todo muy fresca, el tiempo de espera a veces nos suele ser un inconveniente, pero de verdad aquí cada minuto que esperas vale la pena. El mejor lugar para comer comida Mexicana en la ciudad!!!“
“Love, love, love ordering from here! Have been loving this restaurant since they were on 56th and Tieton. Over the years they moved and are now on Front Street. Be sure to call ahead for takeout since they are so good they get very busy. I usually enjoy her Enchiladas de Pollo, which I occasionally switch for her Taco Supreme, but my family loves her Chiles Rellenos the most. Definitely a place to try of you are in the area.“
“Came here for lunch and had the chicken sopes and they were amazing. This place does lack an ambience. It would be nice to have music playing at a low volume so I feel like I have to whisper during my conversation. The food and service was great and I will definitely return.“
“I was skeptical of the cornflake French toast and am now addicted. This is a bit off the beaten path, but the food is great and the service is amazing. If you have the opportunity you should try it. It is my new go-to place for breakfast/brunch.“
