A true family operation serving sopapillas, Hatch chile sauces, and house-smoked meats. The Daily Herald profiled its ownership and enduring menu; it’s a spirited gathering place for comfort food with Southwest soul.

We’ve been to The New Mexicans three times since April, and our experiences have been a mixed bag. Our first visit was excellent—great service, great vibe, and food that actually reminded us of home in New Mexico. That first impression had us excited to come back. Unfortunately, the last two visits have fallen short. Service has slowed noticeably. On both recent trips, it took forever just to get our drink orders taken, and when drinks finally arrived, they came out alongside our food. That might be forgivable if the food delivered, but sadly, it hasn’t. The biggest letdown has been the flavor—or rather, the lack of it. The beans, pulled pork, and even the burger all tasted bland, with nothing standing out until I added green chile to bring some life to the dish. For a restaurant carrying the name The New Mexicans, the flavors should be bold, layered, and true to what makes New Mexican cuisine so unique. That said, there are a couple bright spots: the margaritas are consistently strong and well-balanced, and the sopapillas have been perfect every time—warm, fluffy, and a highlight we genuinely look forward to. As New Mexican natives, we were really hoping for a place we could keep coming back to, but right now it feels like the quality and consistency just aren’t there.

I have loved this place forever. It’s a family owned place, who are always friendly and happy. Food is amazing! Like many have said, the smoked chicken enchiladas are mind blowing, but so is everything else. All the way down to the giant homemade cinnamon rolls. My favorite brunch spot around.

It was my first visit here. We came in to order to go as it was 17 minutes untiI close. We were immediately greeted and seated after I explained we wanted to take our food to not keep them late. Here is where I met Evie. She told us to sit down and not worry about the time. We had amazing conversation, she made incredible drinks and made me and my husband feel like family. The food would have been the best part of the night had she not made me feel like family. I could not recommend this restaurant more. The atmosphere 10/10. The drinks 10/10. The incredible service by Evie. 20/10.

If you’re looking for a good cinnamon roll, this is the place. It’s not the only good thing they serve by all means but if you wan-na Big I mean big ole cinnamon roll that takes up almost all of the plate. Here it is! It’s in house, made in their ovens with their own hands and you can tell by how good they are. Be like me and take one to-go too!

The Smoked Chicken Enchiladas and Sopapillas are so good. The service was outstanding and you are treated like family. I will definitely be going back.

I try to avoid leaving negative reviews especially when the staff were so great but the tacos were terrible😞 Before my visit here, I would have argued there is no such thing as a bad taco but they were incredibly bland and a little soggy too. My friend ordered the steak tacos and I had the chicken tacos. Her meal came out a few minutes before mine. It was thin white corn tortillas, steak, sharp cheddar cheese, and either a plain pico or diced tomatoes. On the side was a very small dollop of sour cream and a thin guac type spread. It did not look appealing. She was hopeful because our server (who was really nice and engaging) said the meat was smoked and he kinda bragged it up like we were in for a treat. She took a few bites and told me it tasted boiled not smoked. When mine came to the table my chicken looked really good. I took one bite and it had no flavor at all, none! It tasted like all the flavor had been boiled out of the meat. I was also taken aback seeing orange cheddar cheese on street tacos but maybe that's just me. It literally did taste like I was eating plain unseasoned chicken in soggy corn tortillas. It didn't taste bad, it just didn't have any taste at all. I was so baffled by it, it's still been on my mind almost a week later. I'm thinking they might plate the food and put it in a steam warmer but did it for a little too long It's a bummer because we wanted to try their enchiladas but they ran out of the sauce for it at 6pm on a Saturday. The margaritas were great though! I had a raspberry marg and my friend had a spicy margarita. We interacted with 3-4 staff members, and all of them were really welcoming, attentive, with an upbeat cheery disposition.

Great spot for breakfast all day! Southwestern style food, friendly service and a homey diner feel. They didn't have waffles, pancakes or cinnamon rolls, said those are available on weekends. But we were pleased with the french toast and pop's breakfast. My mom doesn't eat pork so we subbed brisket and instead of toast we asked for an extra egg, they didn't charge for the substitutions. Not bad for the portion sizes, including 2 coffees, we paid $32 +tip. Accessible, good size bathrm and easy street parking. We'll be back. Recommended.

Where do I begin with this review? The drinks and the food were all amazing. We moved here from San Diego, thinking that SD has the best Mexican food. And boy oh boy we were wrong! The chips and salsa, the pulled pork sandwich, and Carne asada were all very good. Every bite was a burst of flavor. We love it here!

Excellent place. We have been there multiple times and have never been disappointed. I normally get the smoked chicken enchilada, but have tried almost everything on the menu and can vouch that you couldn't go wrong with whatever choice you make.

This place charges an automatic gratuity, even on to go orders! Absolutely ridiculous! How about you pay your staff and stop being GREEDY? Wild concept. Food was expensive, but of course, completely average. Had to leave a bad review. Gotta keep places like this honest.

I've been to New Mexicans a few times, though I haven't been here in a while and I've never been for breakfast. We got the huevos rancheros (huge), breakfast burrito (seriously the size of a newborn), and a waffle with strawberry and whip cream, plus 2 coffees and an orange juice. The total rang up to a whopping $47 after tax, I had to double check the bill to make sure we were charged for everything. On top of actually affordable pricing, the food and service were absolutely fantastic. The inside hasn't changed much and I'm glad. Such a cute little place, definitely our new breakfast spot.

Came here to try their brunch because we heard good things, but let's just say I'd come back only to try the actual New Mexican dishes... The restaurant only had a couple tables occupied when we arrived on a Saturday before noon, so we were seated right away. I got the "Loco Moco" with chicken fried steak, which was basically ordering a CFS with rice. As a person who loves eating everything with rice, I would've enjoyed it more of the gravy wasn't so sweet but it just made the entire dish less appetizing. My friend got biscuits and gravy, which was simple and nothing to write home about. We also got a cinnamon roll to share, and I actually quite liked it especially because they warmed it up. Service was good so I want to give them another chance, but I'd skip on the brunch.

Disappointed - Quality Drops Without the Owner Present We've had great experiences at New Mexicans in the past. The atmosphere was always lively and welcoming, thanks in large part to the owner, who would personally check in with each table and bring a warm, friendly energy to the space. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a major letdown. The owner wasn't there, and it showed. Service was subpar--staff were disengaged, some sitting at the bar on their phones, others behind the counter doing the same. Their interest seemed more focused in the game playing on the big screens than in attending to guests. We ordered chicken nachos, and only after eating a few bites realized there was no chicken. When we pointed this out, the server took the partially eaten plate and returned it with cold chicken dumped on top. It felt careless and unprofessional. We also had to wait for basic things like water and napkins, and the attentive service we were used to just wasn't there. It's disappointing to see such a dramatic difference in quality when the owner isn't present. Until there's more consistent oversight and staff accountability, I'd sadly recommend spending your money elsewhere.

I think my expectations were too high. Very friendly servers. The house made chips were good. I give the guacamole and the queso 3.5 stars. You pay a little extra for the carne asada tacos and it was disappointing because it fell flat in the flavor department lacking any seasoning. The pulled pork sliders: The pork shows up already soaked in bbq sauce. Some peeps might like this. I personally like to taste the smokiness of the pork with a small amount of bbq sauce on top... but that's just me. Otherwise, great atmosphere. Friendly people. Street parking.

Great food! Can't complain I live there home made fries and burgers huge I love there chips and the family that runs it is awesome momma always takes care of us! Not sure if it's authentic New Mexican but I do enjoy the burger and Mac n cheese and the cinnamon rolls are always home made!

It's been since pre-Covid that we have checked out the New Mexicans. We were pleasantly surprised that the food is still yummy. We had a group of 4, no reservations at 5:30 on a Friday. We had two table choice with folding chairs. Our only disappointment with our visit is the lack of seating. They used to have a lot of seating with different style tables. Now they have gone to large bulky wood style Mexican restaurant booths. In my opinion, if you're too busy to get people seated to start, going with less seating isn't the way to go. There were a few tables that had reserved signs on them, guessing you can make reservations. None of the tables held more than 4. Thankful we didn't bring the family of 6. The service was great as always. Food was flavorful but lacked some seasoning. Almost like it wasn't uniform on the sauce flavoring??? We ordered two of the chicken burritos, two ordered of the happy hour tacos and the brisket sandwich. We also ordered the chips, queso and salsa from the happy hour menu. The salsa was more like a pico and lacked flavor. The queso was cheese with the salsa in it and the bowl is to small :( We walked out of there paying less than $40 a couple. Haven't done that in a minute so it was a pleasant surprise. I wish they made their cinnamon rolls everyday. I had hoped to bring one home for Saturday am. If you are around they are worth the stop. We will be back, if there is seating.

So I got the chicken fried steak with one biscuit and gravy. I actually liked everything except the gravy itself. It wasn't my thing and would rather have some regular country gravy. The potatoes, the eggs, the chicken fried steak and the biscuits were fantastic though. Really love the lemonade too. Probably my second favorite within a mile of my place. Service was great even though it was busy. Overall great place and food!

Was going to a Silvertips game on a Saturday night with my wife so we decided to give this place a try. When we entered we weren't sure if we should seat our selves or if there was a hostess things were kinda buy so we grabbed a table for two. Shortly afterwards one of the workers came and gave us some menus we made our selections for food and drink. We both chose a Cadillac margarita for our drink, my wife went with the pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese while I chose the smoked chicken enchiladas with beans. While we waited I took some time to check out the restaurant, it actually has a kinda small dining area that morfs into a bar/ kitchen. Place was clean and well staffed we got water with our drinks before our meals arrived which arrived quickly. Both of our meals were good mine had a slight smoke and savory flavor with tender chunks of chicken inside, the beans were ok but nothing special. My wife enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich both meals were good sized we left full and we went on to watch the Tips beat Seattle 6 to 1. An enjoyable night if you're in Everett for an event and want a quick dinner before it this a solid choice.

We accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant. We actually thought we were at the restaurant next door, but it was a happy mistake. The waitress was very friendly and offered excellent suggestions on what to order. Decided to go with a top seller, the smoked chicken enchilada. My husband went with the brisket sandwich. Both were superb! Will definitely return

I want to like this place as it has a great vibe and it's near where we live, but the quality and taste just isn't there. The margaritas in particular taste as if they're simply lime juice and tequila. The queso is Velveeta and Royal with no added spices with a tiny portion. Once was enough for us unless the quality improves.

Sopapillas! Instead of chips and salsa are the best appetizer. The green chile stew was great with the cornbread. The flat enchiladas with the hot sauce was divine. Tastes of home. Authentic. I travel far for great flavors and ambiance of New Mexico. The service is top notch as well.

My wife and I went to happy hour and tried the carne asada tacos, pulled pork slider and the smoked kielbasa. The smoked kielbasa was fantastic, the carne asada tacos were just ok, the seasoning on the carne asada fell a little flat. The pulled pork sliders had a little to much BBQ sauce for my liking. Me personally, I don't like my pulled pork soaked in sauce. I like to taste the smokiness of the meat and add my sauce as needed. All in all, the staff was great, the venue was good however, there is a good chance we won't be back.

Wonderful fun friendly family runs the place, making so much from scratch! Went here today for lunch with our three kids (twins 13 and a 16 year old) and everyone loved it. Yummy homemade cinnamon rolls and homemade shell for the fresh taco salad. I got the green enchilada plate with two over medium eggs on top. Very fresh and filling. Kids all commented on the great atmosphere, asking to come again (that's unusual for them). The five of us sat at the 'bar/counter' of this family friendly restaurant and got to interact a bunch with the people who make this homecooked-tex-mex style place. Lighter flavors, mild and very natural, with new twists on things like nachos. Adore being able to get cool breakfast plates mid-day! And my son really enjoyed the huge serving chicken fried steak plate! Give this place a try. Seems like somewhere to become a happy regular.

Decide what you want to be? If you're a dinner restaurant stay open through dinner hours which at a minimum is 8pm.

Finally crossed The New Mexicans off of our "must try" list! We went for "breakfast" around noon after a night at the casino, and we were lucky to get the last open table. Pleasantly surprised to hear that breakfast was served all day. Expected a wait based on other reviews. The atmosphere was lively, and at times maybe a bit too loud for our liking, as the Seahawks were playing and being broadcasted on the large TVs. IF you are seeking a quiet experience in which you can hear your dining partner, perhaps this is not your place. My husband and I both ordered the Huevos Rancheros. You can customize it with how many tortillas and eggs you'd like, which sauce you want, and add on a meat of your choice if you so desire. The reason I'm docking a star is that the menu was not at all descriptive, and we were forced to rush into a decision when ordering. They apparently have three or four difference sauces, both green and red, ranging from mild to hot. The meat options were not listed, but included pork, smoked brisket, and a few other things that were rattled off so quickly that I didn't catch it. It would have been really nice to know this info in advance so we would have had a chance to think of it. As is, it felt rushed, and to be honest, I wasn't completely crazy about my choice. It's seems customary that these options would be spelled out on the menu, but alas, they were not. My husband chose the mild green sauce, which was a bright and fresh, and tasty sauce that was just delicious. I chose the medium red sauce, which was a darker, smoky, heavy on the cumin sauce, that some people will love, but it just isn't my favorite flavor combo. It was good, and I ate it all, but I definitely would have chose differently if given more information about what my options were. We also got two cinnamons rolls to go, which were huge, heavy, with a bit of icing and no raisins (yay!). They were fairly average IMO, but I didn't go there for the cinnamon rolls anyway. I'm looking forward to returning and trying lunch, but next time, I will know to ask a lot more about the menu before I order. I saw a lot of plates come out that looked really tasty. They also had mimosas if that's your thing. Prices were fantastic, by the way... Our dishes were only $12, but to add the brisket was $5 (and worth it). It's been a long time since we've gone for breakfast and had a reasonable bill. You get a lot of value for your money at this restaurant, and really good service. I would recommend coming at off times if you don't want to wait.

Came here 2 hours before the silvertips game. To start they never brought us chips and salsa for about 15 min. Then when they did I'm not joking they tasted like 1 week old cardboard. We'll, by the time we got them I already ordered the nachos. We got the chips replaced (just slightly better) but then I got my nachos which were used from the same chips we started with. THE WORST NACHOS IVE EVER HAD. I tried to be nice and eat some of it but just couldn't get close to finishing them. For the first time in 36 years I actually had to complain about the food. I was planning on paying and leaving but the waitress( I think the owners wife) comped my meal. She was very nice. As I tried to be nice about the complaint. Now it's 3am 9 hours later I'm laying in bed sick af knowing I'm never going back.

The food, service, price and vibe cannot be beat! Absolutely one of the best, if not the best, restaurants in Everett. Pro tip: always get a side of corn bread and honey butter. And if you're there on a weekend, the cinnamon rolls are incredible. 5 stars easy!

Yelp
The interior is a bit eclectic so has visual interest. We were greeted and seated very quickly. We ordered the Grubbin Nachoes. The queso cheese and salsa were really good. The beans were also good. Where they fell short was the amount of guacamole and sour cream for a shareable order of nachos was completely inadequate. Overall food was good but we will try something else the next time. Pricing was reasonable and the overall environment was pleasant. It is worth a try.

Cinnamon roll was good. Cadillac margarita is nice and strong. The prickly pear margarita was sweet. Pork tacos and smoked chicken enchilada were EXTREMELY bland. I was alarmed at the amount of salt I kept adding to each bite. Portions sizes were decent and the menu looks fire. I'm curious if all their meat is cooked without salt or seasoning. The pork tacos were great. The presentation was boring and somewhat strange. The tacos were on one side while the other side had a mini dallop of each sour cream and guacamole. The tacos seemed fresh and homemade. I liked how they had a little crisp to them. The strips of hatch chile in my smoked chicken enchilada were a lot larger than the strips I'm used to. I was thinking they were strips like bell peppers in fajitas but they're more like chicken strips sized chiles! The chicken was so very tender and moist. Service was good and honestly if only the food was more flavorful I'd definitely give them a 4 star rating.

Pre-hockey dinner choice. Got a table right away, but then waited... and waited... and waited.. I was feeling like Carne asada, however.... Everyone is in a tortilla or a bun, everything has rice or beans. Meat is extra. Huh. Can I just have a green enchilada without a tortilla? Oh, no. Those are pre-made and impossible to change. Oh. Red enchilada? Well yeah, but it's just lettuce onions and cheese. Okay. Can I have a taco salad without beans? Sure! Here's the taco salad... with beans. Sigh. And honestly there's so much lettuce, and maybe 6 pieces of meat? Will not be back.

Recently went to New Mexico for the first time. Had always heard good things about this restaurant & figured it was time to give it a try. Very glad we did, our server was very friendly and treated us like family. Food was delicious & it was difficult to settle on what to get, everything sounded so good! We had tickets to Village Theatre & walked. It's not too far, but would only recommend the trek for those who like to walk...helps especially after over indulging

The owner was our server and the service was excellent and friendly. She gave a great recommendation to try the smoked chicken enchiladas which were delicious. The price is right. The spicy margaritas are authentic and strong. We'll be back, the food and service was incredible.

We came here for breakfast yesterday after a friend recommended this place. We were glad he had. The place is a cute little hole in the wall with about 10 tables and bar seating. It was constantly busy when we were there but there didn't seem to be a wait for a table for anyone who came in. We ordered a few things to share including the cinnamon roll, breakfast burrito, biscuit and gravy, and pancake. Service was friendly and pretty quick. They made sure to keep coffee mugs constantly filled. The cinnamon roll came first and it was massive. This is a must get if you come here because it was delicious and we had to stop ourselves from eating the whole thing so we had room for the rest of our food. It was one of the better cinnamon rolls I've ever had and I would come back here just for this. The breakfast burrito (we got it without gravy and cheese) was also huge and delicious. It was packed with bacon (you get your choice of meat), potatoes, eggs, onions and rice. It was too big and messy to eat as an actual burrito so you definitely need a knife and fork with this. The biscuit and gravy was also really good. The biscuit was super light and fluffy and the gravy was tasty and had a good amount of sausage in it. The pancake was fine but nothing special. It was also massive though. For the price and the amount of food you get, you can't beat this place. We will definitely be back again.

Food and service both excellent. Nice cozy atmosphere. Go here! The first time I came here I tried the smoked chicken enchilada. Tonight I ordered the green chili enchilada and added the smoked chicken, which came served on top of the enchilada. I believe I like this choice even better than the smoked chicken enchilada because the corn tortillas tasted so good. So delicious!!! I highly recommend this restaurant. P.S. The carrot cake and sopapillas were homemade and so, so, so good!

Nice people, pretty good food and family atmosphere. Their prickly pear margarita was awesome. Their homemade chips are a delight and elevated their nachos to legendary status. I was a little bummed to find that the carne asada isn't skirt steak, but not a deal-breaker. Definitely try their sopapillas for dessert, which are divine.

I always hear about how great this restaurant is. I have been several times throughout the years and I am not impressed. The staff is super friendly. The service was quick. The restaurant lacks atmosphere and it's super loud. The portions are big enough to share, but The food fresh but just ok nothing to brag about. It lacks flavor, except the baked beans they're delicious and spicy.

The service was good , nice servers that's why I gave it three stars when at most it deserved two, the food was meh. Bland and simple I honestly could make better food at home . Super disappointed I was looking forward to trying this place out.

First note: this is not New Mexican. I feel the name is misleading. Nowhere in New Mexico is anything smothered in anything other than red or green chile. White rice does not belong in New Mexican burritos. It's a shame that PNW locals will get the impression that this is New Mexican cuisine when this is not authentic and missed the mark. The sopapillas check out but unfortunately that is all. This rating is not about the service or staff, solely about the food.

This place has switched several owners over the years, the original owner from the state of New Mexico sold in 2016. Apparently thats the last few years this place was good. Taco bell is more authentic than this place, it was honestly a joke what this restaurant was serving as food. It is crazy to think u can keep a restaurant open serving worse than frozen tv dinners open, it either makes the locals look horrible and proves they know absolutely nothing about good food, or it proves everyone in the PNW has totally given up and will think anything they didn't have to make on their own is good.

I couldn't be more disappointed with my once favorite restaurant in Everett I had been coming here since the doors opened, not sure if we will be coming back. Service was atrocious I know they need help, and our waitress was newer. I would have looked past all of that if the food came close to what it used to be. I paid $16 for three flat corn tortillas. I couldn't believe this what they pass for enchiladas now. I ordered them with carne asada (couldn't find a hint of steak, maybe ground beef?!?!) The over easy eggs had more flavor then the rest of the dish. I couldn't be more bummed out from what this place used to be. We also ordered margaritas which are normally amazing my wife's prickly pear wasn't as good as it normally was either. After waiting almost 10 minutes for our check (had time to write this) I found out they didn't add meat to my enchiladas, and my wife's prickly pear margaritas were raspberry. How the mighty has fallen

I went here with two of my gal pals! We sat in the way front by the window so didn't get much of a feel for the ambiance, we kinda felt like we were sitting at the little kids table when you're at a family gathering and the adults sit at the big table and you're left out. However it's pretty nice if you don't want to be bothered by the crowd which was perfect for us because we all had a long week! LOL. We got a good view of the street and out the window so we were fine. :) However I give this feed back to anyone who wants an ambiance of a restaurant. Service was great the manager was so sweet and her homemade chips were awesome! They do Taco Thursday with an all day happy hour. You can't mix the taco flavors so I got pork and my friends got chicken. The pork taste bbq but I liked that. The chicken were damn good too. My friends weren't keen on the sauce because one of my friends can't eat beef and the mild sauce has beef (it was more like a chili) so she was not too happy with that because she took a bite of her taco with the sauce and realized it too late. She didn't want to complain though but said she will feel it in the morning. :( All in all servers were really nice and we will come back! I already bragged about a Taco Thursday to my coworkers! I realized I didn't take pics because I ate everything too fast! Sorry! Oh and I had a Spicy margarita! Warning!!! It is Spicy AF!

Came for lunch, we use to live in NM so had wanted to try this for a while, service was very good, friendly staff, cute space. Food was not New Mexican to me but it was good. Shared the nachos and a burrito, if I had not had authentic red and green chile this would have been fine. Nachos with chili was actual chili with beans so that was a surprise. (In NM cooking, Chile is just the sauce) I will have to go back and try the breakfast because it did look good!

Ok time to finally review this place. I've been coming here for a few years which should indicate exactly how I feel. The basics? The food is good, service is excellent, and the staff is friendly with an overall chill vibe. The food has a New Mexican influence (can you say hatch chili) and a little Hawaiian thrown in there. I usually over order starting with a sopapilla (because WHY wouldn't you) and the smoked chicken enchilada with green hatch chili. The chili dog is not just a hot dog but a smoked kielbasa that can stand up to the chili sauce. I have never left hungry and usually have enough for another meal with leftovers. I have not tried the drinks but I can say the desserts are great as well.

My wife and I met our friends here for our monthly Taco Tuesday meet. Free street parking can be found. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Happy Hour is offered daily from 3pm-6pm. New Mexicans is a seat yourself restaurant. Service was excruciatingly slow. Our server (not the owner) wore a frown instead of a smile the entire time. Once we were finally asked what we would like to drink, I was advised that the 10 Barrel IPA that I requested was out. Frustrating. My wife and I ended up ordering a couple pints of Manny's for $4.50 (hh) each. We also ordered Chips & Dip (choice of 2) for $5 (hh). We chose the salsa and guacamole. The chips were thick like pita chips. The salsa bland. The guacamole good. Thankfully there are a variety of hot sauces located on the counter up front. I ordered the Green Enchilada for $6. The name is misleading since this was not an enchilada. This is a tamale stuffed with a green chile. Served with a side of beans. My meal was tasty and I would order again in the future. My wife ordered the two Pork Tacos for $7 (hh): soft corn street shells layered with tender pork, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Served with a side of sour cream and chipotle sauce. My wife also enjoyed her meal choice. Overall, I would like to return to The New Mexicans for breakfast sometime in the future.

Finally got to hang out with friends and needed a place everyone could find something on the menu. We agreed on The New Mexicans as most of us had never been. I called ahead and made reservations just to be safe because we didn't know what to expect. Arrived, easy parking, and jumped straight into some cocktails. The bloody mary made with chili vodka was very good!!! Even with all of our food restrictions at the table... Everyone was able to order delicious food and drinks. The owner was out server, she was wonderful. Food was delicious. The cinnamon roll pancakes were bussin

Definitely not authentic New Mexican cuisine. I do not recommend. The service was also terrible.

This place is amazing! It was recommended to me as I had a few hours to kill in Everett before catching Amtrak back south. I have never had New Mexican cuisine before and best I can describe this is almost like Mexican/BBQ fusion. It. Was. AWESOME! The restaurant is on the small side with only a handful of tables and then the bar. Thankfully there was one spot right at the end of the bar so I grabbed that pretty quickly. To my delight, I was sitting next to a lovely friendly couple - Allie happened to work at the restaurant and she immediately started giving me lots of recommendations. I was really surprised that they even offered happy hour on a Saturday, something that is all but unheard of in DC! Of course I imbibed on some yummy HH margaritas. And the entire menu looked awesome, but after consulting Allie and also the owner, they both suggested the smoked chicken enchilada so I decided that was a go. And I got the suggested baked beans, not the boring pintos! When the plate came out, the portion was huge! Very happy with my food choice, it was seriously one of the most interestingly awesome dishes I've had! The smoked chicken in the enchilada really gave it some awesome character, and Allie had told me that all the meats were smoked on site which was really awesome! And OMG THOSE BAKED BEANS!!! They really were like some sort of BBQ fusion, the hot links and spices really kicked it up a notch! Service was great and I really did luck out sitting next to that couple. All other staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. After a long day of touring throughout Everett, this really was a gem of a place to hang out at for a bit!

I love this family! With an upbeat, pleasant atmosphere, and awesome food with a touch of fusion. The jalapeño margaritas are on point.

Cool twist on Mexican food and vibe. Ambiance is like those local places definitely it's own. Located near other eateries. Food was good from what I recall. Service was okay, don't have anything good to bad to say. Lively inside so may want to come in on a rested day to fully absorb this place. May have to come again.
