My dad and I stopped here after coming to town to pick up a car. He said they had good lunch specials. Unfortunately we learned that they got rid of their regular lunch menu. Instead they now just have a daily lunch special you can get, otherwise you are spending full price for dinner sized items. We did not need a dinner size item so we just got the lunch special for the most part. Very clean place! Nicely decorated as well. Service was also really good and attentive. Besides the little issue with the lunch special, everything was definitely five star! read more

Antonia Mexican Grill was alright. The food wasn't bad, but it was pretty mediocre overall. The service was quick and the staff was nice, which I appreciated. The restaurant was mostly clean, although I did notice a fly. Overall, it was an okay experience read more

Great service and great food. I had the Pollo a la parilla for dinner. Great presentation and delicious flavors. The grilled chicken over sautéed onions and bell peppers was cooked perfectly and marinated so it was not dry. The pinto beans were just right, not overcooked or undercooked. Moist Mexican rice with sides of tasty guacamole and pico de Gallo. I'm from Whitby Island and just by chance my wife and I had dinner there tonight because when we drove by, there were tons of cars in the parking lot. It proved to be a great find and we look forward to our next trip over to Tacoma and to Anto read more

Food was ok. Serving size was fair. Fish tacos were disappointing because they were breaded fried. Altho the fish itself seemed fresh and was good. Service was good. read more

I very much enjoyed Antojo's restaurant. My meal was delicious. The salsa hot sauce and guacamole was excellent as well

I'm always searching for good Mole and Antojos has it. In fact, everything I've tried here is very good so I'm a little surprised by the 3.5 star rating. The staff is very helpful and friendly and has great suggestions about what to order too. The restaurant is comfortable and the Happy Hour is decent too. I'm going to post pictures of my Chicken Mole because I think it's some of the best I've ever had. The spice level is subtle and not overpowering. I like it since I could taste their Mole and enjoy it instead of it being too hot and just tasting the heat. I will be returning again for some of the other items on their menu that loook good including the Carne Asado. We had a nice time here and what I tried of the food has been excellent both times I visited. I'm definately going back for more. read more

Cinco de Mayo was a blast the food and drinks were outstanding. The service was excellent. The entertainment was authentic!!! However, it was so loud you had to shout across the table and all of us left with possible hearing loss. read more

Update review on this place, Had to pay 16.00 for a smaller margarita, waiter said if I had sat in the bar it was 5.99. Should have told me this when I ordered. As we are regulars . It's not stated any place that Happy Hour prices only good in the bar now. So 16.00 is the regular price for smaller one and 18.00 for regular. Really ? No longer on our monthly places to go. read more

Every meal we have ordered from here has been fantastic in flavor, the amount of heat in the mouth, refreshing beverages and friendly staff! Two locations local to us and we enjoy eating lunch as well as dinner here, next we'll definitely be breakfast! read more

LOVE this place. They were closed for some time and now they are open. The wait staff are attentive and this is one of the only restaurants that serve chips and salsa AND Bean Dip (which is soooooooo good!!!) for FREE! You can't even go wrong here when they do this already. The food is so fresh and delicious from their tortillas made on the spot, to everything else including drinks. I have come back and back again. Countless of times because the food, ambiance and service is exceptional. I also found out that the owners also help great organizations and nonprofits. I highly recommend this place! read more

Great food, service was wonderful and gave my wife extra of the pickled carrots that she loves. The beans were full of flavor, and chimichanga was perfect. Atmosphere was pleasant and had a southwestern vibe, with a modern twist. Prices were so reasonable. They have daily specials which can make it even cheaper. read more

Pleasantly surprised with Antojo's! I drive by frequently and have never stopped in until a friend asked to meet for dinner. Atmosphere is fantastic- tons of seating, great decor. Parking is not great, limited spots. It was packed on a Monday evening. Service was attentive. Antojo's serves chips, salsa and bean dip at no cost! I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas - very yummy- not the best I've had- but yummy! I had the very berry margarita- also great! Overall great experience. read more

Here is our updated review: We used to love this place--especially for their enchiladas and moles. It was our go-to spot for family dinners on 38th St. I want to start by giving credit to the general manager. He was professional and calm when I initially spoke with him about a recent incident, and I appreciated how he handled that first conversation. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was deeply disappointing and even harmful. We had ordered two burritos for lunch while working at a client's house on N Jackson Ave. As my father was finishing his burrito, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mouth--like he had bitten into a rock. It turned out he had bitten into something hard that should have been filtered out before cooking. After speaking with the GM and his follow-up with the kitchen team, the conclusion was that it came from a bean stalk--something that ended up in my dad's food. As a result, my father--who's nearing his 50s--lost a tooth. Days passed, and we hadn't heard any follow-up from the GM. However, once we posted a Yelp review, the general manager reached out to us immediately. While we appreciated the response after the review, it's unfortunate that it took public feedback to prompt any real follow-up. We used to recommend this place to friends and family, but after this experience, we're seriously reconsidering that.... As of today's date 6/12/25 Today, the owner or franchise has refused to cover the dental bill for my hard-working father--which was all we asked for. This situation has caused not only physical pain but financial stress as well. We are now left with no choice but to seek legal counsel moving forward. read more

Could be better, really mediocre and portions are slacking , really expensive for what your getting

I haven't come here quite a few times in the past and the food was always great. Drinks are always good. We came in today. We noticed that the prices went up not a big deal but our food this time was awful service was also very slow just found it a little odd that the prices went up and the food qualities gone down. Drinks are still good though. read more

Went there with my partner before dinner rush and decided to sit in the restaurant section where there were 3 tables occupied with the ppl already eating. Got to our booth, put in drink orders. 4 ppl came in after us and were seated behind us. They got their drinks first. Weird cause we only ordered soda drinks and they had cocktails and shots. Whatever. Got our chips and salsa, which was great cause once our food order was in, it took almost 40 min to get our 3 fish tacos and burrito plate. But guess what? The ppl behind us got all their food within a regular/expected amount of time. Our drinks were gone by the time the food came and we couldn't get the chance to order a drink refill because the server rushed away once he set the plates in front of us. I have worked in hospitality and I know things can get fked behind the scenes. However, by having your customers wait without an explanation makes you look sloppy and rude. Our server was mostly non-existent and just a "hey my apologies, we're [insert excuse] so service may be a bit tardy" would be fine. So that's the service. Now the food. No. My partner had a burrito plate that was bland and sad looking and I had the 3 fish tacos which were unseasoned and really just an over-fried fish finger in a sad corn tortilla with some bland sauce on top sprinkled with some cabbage and tomatoes. The fish tasted gross and way too fishy so it prob pass expiration date. I mean, look at the picture! It was so sad looking I couldn't stop laughing. If you have never had Mexican food, sure go here. Only because any other Mexican restaurant afterwards will be mind blowing. Or if you can't handle any spice other than some salt, this place will be great for you. But really don't. It's a waste of time and money. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. We happened to stop here after the motor cross at the Lumen Field. It was super delicious! Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. The restaurant was busy and fairly loud but that just ment it was poppin. We ordered the specials so the price was great. Definitely worth the money, but the other items were a bit pricey. We would recommend and totally come here again. read more

We stopped in to check out the bar the other day. The chips and salsa were delicious! Actually, the salsa may be one of my favorites I've had at a restaurant. We ordered bean and cheese pupusas to go. Unfortunately, when we got home, we realized there were no beans. When I called, they asked if I wanted to come back and get the correct ones. I did, but that was another 30 minutes or so out of my evening. Otherwise, the bartender was really nice and the space if also very pretty. read more

One of the main things I've been missing post-Covid are happy hours, those afternoon opportunities to stop in and try out a new watering hole without making a major investment in the outcome. They are very slowly making a return to my area and I was pleased to see Antojos recently publicizing theirs on Facebook. I tried it out earlier today and, I've gotta say, I was pretty impressed. To begin, there is a sizable list of mixed drinks, all priced at $3.99 - mostly the standard gin and tonics, margaritas, screwdrivers, and such - but the price is certainly right for what I assume is standard grade bar liquor-based wells. I arrived at around 3:00, a mite early for me to enjoy such things, so I opted for a Coors Light at the same price. (Wish it had been a PBR instead but ah well.) The waitress brought me a sizable basket of tortilla chips, along with dishes of decent salsa and some rather tasty refried beans, and I ordered what seems to be the only happy hour-based entree: the standard burrito, served with a broiled onion and broiled jalapeño. I opted for chicken as my protein. I'll be honest: I expected to receive a smallish burrito that would be mostly rice and beans. What I got was a sizable entree with a generous portion of chicken, served wrapped in foil and paper and weighing in at about a pound and a half. It was very, very tasty and I probably should have taken half of it home - but I just sat there and ate it all, including the onion. It really was just that good. I could have opted for sour cream or guacamole on the side, but they would have cost extra and I didn't really need them. The total bill for this feast? $10.71, including tax . I tipped my waitperson a five spot, because 20% of ten bucks seemed too little to leave on the table. I then proceeded to waddle out of the building, thinking that a late afternoon nap inspired by a minor food coma might be rather a good idea. If you're hungry for other standard Mexican fare, the rest of the menu (with many photos) looked good - but, if you're a senior, a shift worker, or just way hungry of an afternoon, you can't do better that this happy hour deal. You can bet that I'll be back, once I've had the chance to digest for a day... or two... or three... read more

I was hesitant going here because of the reviews, but I was craving Mexican and on my way back to Tacoma from Gig Harbor and hungry. I've always loved Mexican food and it seems for the past year I've been trying to seek out all the places that serve quesabirria tacos. It was a Sunday evening and I had my daughter with me. We are both critics lol. She's only 8yr but loves chips, bean dip, and all the salsas. First, I really thought the interior looked better in person than the photos. We were nicely greeted and quickly seated with a drink order. We quickly received a bowl of freshly made chips, salsa, and beens while we explored the menu. I knew I wanted the tacos quesabirria tacos and my daughter wanted the queso(we also get that everywhere). I have to say out of every Mexican restaurant I've been to this salsa and beans were the best I've ever tasted. We both agreed and couldn't believe how fresh and flavorful the salsa was and the beans were the perfect texture and also packed with flavor. We couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Quesabirria tacos and queso dip came out and looked great, but both were slightly underwhelming. The tacos didn't have enough going on for me, thicker meat and not a lot else going on, kinda bland(to be fair I didn't add any from the plate to the tacos). I was expecting more flavor from the photos online and the experience with the salsa and beans. Now the queso style they have isn't my preference because it's possibly a blend of cheeses that come off a little bitter vs creamy cheesy? Plus they garnish it in the center and I would prefer that on the side. We didn't finish the queso, in fact we probably each had just a couple bites. All in all I'm still thinking about that salsa and their beans. I may go back just for that, no queso and maybe get an enchilada. read more

Nice date restaurant! Very quite and chill. The menu is amazing so many different options all big portions. Happy our from 9-close on weekends and they have lunch specials as well. The server was super kind and patient. They make tortillas in the front so you can watch while you wait. We tried the torta which was super juicy and the bread and nice and soft/buttery. My highlight was the burrito bowl had every I was craving in one bowl and the plating was beautiful . Thank you again Antojo see you again! read more

I wanted to give this place a five star review. I've been wanting to trying it for months since it's right across the street from my job. I was super excited when we walked in. The hostess was really nice and so was the ambience, which was really intimate. The food was so good, but the service was disappointing. Our waitress wasn't engaged, felt like she was rushing us, didn't really check on the table, and seemed a little snippy. Maybe she was ready to go home. It was a little late so that's all k can think really. I'd love to experience this place with a different server. read more

Omg another fantastic dinner! Hubby decided to take me on a lil date nite on a Wed!! No cooking for me... woo hoo! Our waitress was very attentive as we came in at 4:30 ( half hr yet on happy hr) and proceeded to sink 2-4 margaritas each. We split a fajita combo steak n chicken. Sooo good. And a perfect fit with our free chips n salsa. We did have to ask for two more tortillas tho and it was free too woo hoo! And only $48 for two with the 7 margaritas! Yummy read more

The idea of Antojo's was far better than my actual experience. The two stars I gave are for the great service and the chips and salsa. Everything else was bland and underwhelming. For a 6 top at lunch time, we were seated quickly with chips and salsa to munch on while reviewing the menu. I ordered the three enchiladas with various meats and I was really excited because I hadn't eaten that morning. My colleagues ordered their own entrees plus a bunch of apps for the table. I'm my opinion the appetizers were not very good at all. I held out hope for when the main course arrived but I bummed to find that the entree was also not good at all. The meat was very fatty and the entire meal lacked flavor. Unfortunately I would not recommend this place. read more

Front door doesn't work Bartender spent most of her time complaining to manager on shift, explaining how she messed up payments, and scooping foam out of fresh draft beer . Tortilla chips were premade and not cooked in house definitely had preservatives and beans were served ice cold. I was afraid to order anything else but I got the taquitos and there was more decoration that didn't go with the dish than ingredients in the taquitos. Salsa was tomato water Makes sense why they are completely empty on a Thursday night I was confused why the parking lot was full but that was for loose wheel. I've had better food from Taco Bell that sat out for 2 days The same unsanitary spoon in every beer and the no flavor boring taste. I won't be back not even a chance doesn't matter how much marketing you do and ambiance you gotta have the right service. Someone cooking tortillas up front then serve me premade chips with tomato water and cold beans..... you realize the cold beans could kill someone right. Where is the standards??? Complete embarrassment. read more
