I love this place. And Isaac, so we always ask for him. We often get their Tres Enchiladas because…read morewe love them so much. This time we shared one with each kind of meat offered: chicken, pork and beef. I can't say which I liked more because they all were so awesome as ever. We tried something completely new to us this time: a ceviche called aguachile negro. I Googled it: "Aguachile negro is a bold, spicy Mexican seafood dish featuring raw, butterflied shrimp "cooked" in lime juice, blended with a dark, savory sauce made from roasted chiles, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Maggi seasoning. Served cold with cucumber and red onion, it offers a deep umami flavor and intense heat, often topped with avocado." I'll say it's hot!!! A heat that grows and fills your whole head. Yet, it was so incredibly delicious I weathered the effects. I am not kidding--I don't think I've had a dish I have loved more. The flavor is fantastic, and when I fished for a little raw prawn and put that thing in my mouth, I just thrilled. We had some of their wonderful guacamole as a starter, and I wish now I had saved some to try with the ceviche--it would have been lovely. I will go back.

First time at the Bellingham location and it exceeded my expectations greatly. From the passion of…read morethe bartender creating our beautiful drinks to the chef that prepared our food, COA always does it best. I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp entre and they were cooked to perfection in the delicious poblana cream sauce. This sauce hits all the right spots and I absolutely love that they cover their dishes with it. I enjoy dipping my chips in there and creating a nacho with all the fixings. The salsa and guacamole is always incredibly fresh and I love the way they make their chips. Tasty, fresh, perfectly salted, and homemade. The pico that came wild the dish was delicious and I loved that they added mango to it. My friends got enchiladas which are always a great choice and we ordered mojitos which were very fresh too. I love how their drinks are always beautifully made with lovely garnishes and fruits to add color. Very excited to go back and try different drinks and entrees! Absolutely LOVE this authentic Mexican restaurant.

I had kids with me. We were far away from home. They were hungry for Mexican food. We searched…read moreyelp. Why are there so many Mexican restaurants in Bellingham and why do they all say they are the best? Hard to choose. The first place we went had good reviews but they were so trashy and rude and wasn't worth the trouble. The next place we tried was 21 and up but he was so nice to recommend this place. I was worried because it was so close to closing time and we walked from the previous place to avoid parking again. I have some medical issues that made the short walk take me out. We get there with 20 mins left until close. I see a seemingly swamped waitress and look at her apologetically but she welcomed us to sit and put menus in front of us. She hustled around to other tables and took our order quickly. The ambiance is nice. There's a small bar by the register. The food shows up after a brief wait and it looks super appetizing to the eyes. My burrito takes up the entirety of the large oval plate. My kid exclaimed, "that who thing is a burrito?!" He loves enchiladas and it's plated neatly with rice and beans. My daughter ordered carne asada only ever getting it from our favorite hometown restaurant nearly every other Sunday, so they got some high expectations to meet. Her carne asada comes with an enchilada which for us is a fail safe in case the carne asada turns out to be too different from our norm. To her delight, it was incredibly similar to what we would normally get in taste and presentation. There was so much food. Feeling bad for coming late, I tried to eat quickly and asked for boxes. There were two other tables that arrived before us just hanging out talking. I was acutely aware of the time having worked as a waitress several times in the past but she didn't close the doors until close time. After close, a woman arrived at one of the doors and the waitress let her in and fed her. It was so nice to be see and for me, that deserves so much praise and restores faith in humanity especially after being treated like crap at another restaurant we chose not to eat at. I always choose to support places with good people. I go to pay trying to get out of hair. Despite appearing so busy, she was so friendly. I praised the service and food. She walked to our table as we were preparing to leave and she was engaged in conversation with the kids. My daughter was talking about dress shopping for a school dance. We mention how far from home we were and she mindfully pieces together it's a long drive home still, it's a school night, kids and self exhausted. She grabs a bag and gives us to go beverages. Honestly the kindness made me a bit emotional. The restaurant was past business hours and she had just sat someone and had yet to take her order and still made us feel welcome and not rushed. My kids were adamant we had to come back soon. Spend your money here. The food was fantastic. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Plentiful amounts will leave you satisfied both today and tomorrow. You don't have to question the cleanliness of this place like some of the hole in the wall places we've seen. Choose this one!

Food was certainly made with live and care and fajitas came out nice and hot…read more My favorite part of the fajitas was the grulled mushrooms that were cooked in with the bell peppers and onions. If possible, I would get the Enchiladas Suizas with mushrooms. We didn't really like the chicken, shrimp or beef. The beef probably had the best potential but all the meats were overcooked and not moist. Queso had lots of spices and peppers. Wish we had gotten the jalapeños on the side. Server was nice and efficient but sometimes it felt like she was sneaking up on us.

We got the guac and chips, some ranch water and beer off the happy hour menu. All the tacos looked amazing. We had the carne asada, pork belly and a couple of fish tacos. Wanted to order more but we're already pretty satisfied with what we ordered so will have to come back to try other options! The restaurant has a nice big bar and lots of seating, very open feeling with its high ceilings.

But…read morewe had walked around downtown Bellingham and many of the food places were closed early (for a Saturday night). Our server was delightful. We were seated and had some chips and salsa within the first two minutes of arriving. She was attentive and took good care of us. We ordered their house guacamole with our chips and they came in this cute little bowl :) see the photo! It was cute to look at and delicious to eat. I ordered the Chicken Fajita Quesadilla. This was so good. The dishes it was served on were very VERY hot! It was sizzling and smelled heavenly. I loved the sauce that the chicken was prepared in. Their tortillas were fresh too. Tadeo's is awesome! We had a lovely time, excellent service and fresh food. Their salsa, guacamole, and sauce they had were all wonderful. I would definitely come back!

I…read moredrove past this place often and due to the direction I was heading, it could be tricky turning in from the other direction (across the road). The restaurant seemed to be a house, with plenty of space. Bottled drinks and desserts are in the fridge cooler and to get them ourselves if we want that. I decided on the Mulitas instead of my usual enchilada plate. It's a smaller version with 3 mini size tortilla filled with meat of your choice. I had carnitas, beef and chicken. All were good. Served with beans and rice. My friend had the beef burrito and it was pretty big. She said it was tasty and very filling. It was literally the only meal she had for the day. It seemed to be a family run place and so service was a bit slow. We had to wait a while before someone came out to the counter for us to make payment. There was no bell to alert them. I noticed other customers popping into the kitchen/staff area to get their attention to take order.

You stand in a long line just to get a menu, since there aren't any available beforehand. Once you finally get up there, you might get redirected mid-order like it's some kind of game show. By the time you actually order, you've barely had a second to look at anything. Then you're stuck standing in a crowded area waiting for your drink with no clear place to go, while staff weave around you like you're in the way. I promise, I would love to not be standing there either. Drinks have been underwhelming too. The ranch water was so weak I thought maybe it was just a suggestion of tequila. And then the iPad flips around with a 25 percent tip option, which feels bold considering you're finding your own menu, ordering under pressure, waiting in chaos, and bussing your own table. I want to love this place, but the experience makes it hard to come back.

I've been here a few times now, and I always come back for the same thing - $1 carnitas tacos…read more The tortillas are freshly made and quite thick so they hold the meat really well. Each taco is a generous size for $1. I ordered 12 of them to feed my family of 4 and that makes us full enough. There are other meats available at higher cost. If you dine-in, you get free tortilla chips, salsa and beans. But as noted, it's not super clear how to order and pay for you meals if you dine-in. Each time, I basically walk-in, I point to a table, the staff give me a nod, and I sit down. It's never clear to me if we're supposed to grab our own drinks (and water), but we do, and they note on the bill as they take our order at our table. To pay, you actually go down the hallway to the store to pay the bill. So the service is somewhat confusing and rushed, but never rude. Overall, I still enjoying coming here. Food is cheap and authentic, so I'm willing to forgo some service here.
