A Tacoma staple where handmade tortillas, warm pozole, and mariscos anchor big family meals. Regularly praised by local critics and featured by Seattle Met, it’s the spot for a plate of carne asada or shrimp cocktails that taste like vacation.

Ordered from Uber Eats because the menu always looks delicious! Absolutely loved the portion sizes, everything is perfect for sharing or treating yourself to a filling meal. The flavors are great, especially the birria. The menu is expansive and definitely authentic. This will be a new go-to for a taste of home

This place was always a go to on the weekends, till we had a bad experience on 8/31/2025 around 1:42pm HUGE RAT 🐀 comes out underneath our table wondering around runs into the kitchen!!! We immediately told the server (Alondra) and she called the owner over the phone. We got disgusted and we refused to continue to eat our food, they had just serve our food as well. I told the server we weren’t going to pay for the meals & she insisted we had to pay. I refused & only paid for the drinks. The guys in front of us also witness the RAT 🐀 & told the server the same thing. There’s a camera pointing into our direction where we sat, health department you can request footage. BEWARE OF COMING TO EAT HERE UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE RATS 🐀 IN THE LOBBY OR IN THE KITCHEN.

This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to: from California to New York; from Texas to Florida. I've been away for years and dreaming of the delicious tamales --- just like I remember. The flan would make abuela proud. The sauces are good enough to drink by the pint and the beer is cold. Did I mention the Flan and Tamale? The servers are friendly & quick with great recommendations and thoughtful timing. I wish I could go back and eat again, but I'm still full. Time to head to the airport, but I'll be dreaming of this meal for years to come!

Lived a few blocks over for almost two years and finally tried it out. Great food, atmosphere, service, and didn’t break the bank. Can’t wait to come back.

The asada torta was so delicious and my kids enjoyed rice and carnita tacos.It’s really hot inside no a/c or fans

Great experience every time I visit. I've loved this place since I was in middle school (20 years ago). The food is always incredible.

Had multiple hairs in torta, opened the box and saw a large black hair hanging out of one side of the torta. Opened the other half and there was another connecting from under the avocado to the second half of torta. Called to inform them of the issue and was questioned on the color of it and assured they wore hair nets. Told the manager the hairs were found as I opened the box and was told "oh ok thank you". Absolutely disgusting.
