Absolutely fantastic!! Authentic goodness!! nachos, get a small, portions are generous! Pork cactus tacos, the best!!

We ordered the guacamole which came in a big bowl and was delicious! Then a fish, beef, and chicken taco. All just amazing and freshly made. Laser we tried the torta which was so good! Definitely worth the "high price" to eat here. The service was nothing short Of amazing! read more

So when was the last time you had a grandma-cooked meal served by her son? At home, right? Here, the abuelita speaks only Spanish, but her phenomenal recipes and cooking only slightly exceed her charm. Son Manny is so attentive, and relays the questions coming from Grandma: "Do you like it? " "is everything OK?" Sorry, no standard Mexican recipes here, no carne asana or carnitas. Instead, wonderful authentic regional recipes featuring beef, chicken or pork, but cooked remarkably different and wonderful. Try the huarache (a large soft, homemade tortilla) with Pibil, a delicious traditional Mayan recipe, fold the oval huarache lengthwise, and you have the largest and most delicious soft taco you've ever had! Viva Abuelita! read more

This place is a gem. The food was wonderful, and felt very authentic! This isn't your dump of cheese on ground meat joint, the food was all wonderful and very tasty. Hot salsa was Chipotle smoked, and the guacamole was wonderful. I had a hurachi with fish on it and he had two beef tacos. It was sublime. The atmosphere is of a local joint, and very enjoyable. Not a fancy joint, but just what we needed. read more

Amaaaaaaazing food, very reasonable pricing. Nachos are soooo tasty; best I've ever had-cilantro, guac, shredded beef, just an amazing medley of YUM! Hot sauce has ZING! Family run, grandma and the kids. Can't recommend enough. Sometimes really crowded, but worth the wait! read more

This is hands down the best fresh Mexican food in Walla Walla. Probably one of the best in the entire state. Everything is made fresh as you order. Amazing tortillas. Don't leave without trying the cactus salad. Lots of good choices for vegetarians. You will leave full and happy, but not feeling greasy and weighed down. read more

Grandma's Kitchen - The menu is easy and varied. - Mexican Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

My husband and I are local VEGANS and we love Grandma's! Everything is very fresh, and they have lots of vegetarian options - vegan if you leave off the dairy! We love the corn and cactus fillings. The burritos are hearty, and the sopes are nice for a lighter option. Their homemade salsa is TO DIE FOR. We like to mix the red and green for what they jokingly call "Christmas salsa"! We always buy a container for our taco nights at home, cause nothing else compares! The owner is super sweet and staff is always friendly. Although they don't have these posted as official hours, it seems that, at least for the time being, they close down the shop between lunch and dinner, closing at maybe 3 or 4 and opening up again at 6 for dinner. Highly recommend if you're in Walla Walla! It's the freshest Mexican food we've ever had. read more

Brought in a big group of hungry golfers last weekend. Yelp never fails us! This food was incredible. Loved the authentic tastes and the service started off excellent. They did however, get very lost somewhere in cooking our meals. It ended out taking over two hours for the 15 of us to get served our food--some had finished eating by 45 minutes before others plates had even arrived. I think this disaster could have been avoided with better planning on the staffs side, but we didn't complain. Other tables sat while we were there, but the wait staff asked them to wait for 20 minutes to order as the kitchen was behind with our large group. At least one table left due to this which was too bad. The food was very good making it hard to be mad at the timing of dinner. For a very small kitchen, I understand but it could have been handled better. I'll return next time I'm in Walla Walla! read more

Best Mexican food in walla walla... Their salsa are on point! Could kick up the flavor factor a notch , especially in the sopes. read more

Arrived with our family of 4. 2 tables were available. We politely waited to be seated at either one, or literally Even Acknowledged for over 10 minutes. Thought someone maybe called in sick but No, the lack of more than 1 server is on Purpose for a sorely misplaced point of pride. After being seated we waited another 5+ minutes and still had no menus or water or any other interaction from the staff of 2. I wish this was hyperbole. It isn't. We came at 7:25 on a Saturday. A normal time for dinner. And all we got for about 20 minutes of waiting during a time when multiple tables were open was a cursory hello. Really would have loved to eat something but wasn't willing to let our hungry family wait for what was shaping up to be an hour and half wait for subpar service. Great food deserves great hosting, timely service, and basic human interaction. Please consider hiring even One additional server. You need it. Best of luck. read more

Still a new place they are figuring it out. I didn't understand when I ordered a taco or a sopa that I only got one unless I specified more. Overpriced. hopefully they will get better. read more

Outstanding in every way. Hand made fresh daily everything!!! Best Mexican food I have ever had. The spices on each dish we perfectly matched. You have to try this place. read more

Well, I can't tell you what the food is like because I haven't been able to eat here. I'm from out of town and have tried twice to eat here during hours that they are supposed to be open. I won't try again. I noticed other reviewers mention their unreliable hours. I even called an hour before going over to ask about the menu, so I figured they would be open. You shouldn't open a business if you can't follow your own hours. I went to Taqueria Yungapeti instead and I recommend it. read more

Grandma's Kitchen is worth the wait! Fresh made tortillas, authentic cuisine, and humble prices make this place a go-to for lunch or a light dinner. The Huarache Nopales was our favorite! So fresh and delicious. read more

I walked in on a Wednesday at 6 and was the only one seated for a while. I ordered the burrito with beef served wet. It was amazing. I will absolutely be back. I hope they are usually busier because a place like this should thrive. I also had the flan for dessert and it was perfect to my taste. The presentation was very nice too but that isn't high on my needs list. One more thing, they were friendly and attentive which I would normally mention first but how much I loved the food made me forget. read more

Wow amazing food. Everything tastes so fresh. Service was slow tonight but food was incredible read more

After wondering around Walla Walla we came across grandma's kitchen. What a find! Being a vegetarian, we are always looking for good options. We were greeted by a nice gentlemen and we could se "grandma" and another lady cooking in the kitchen. Food was great! Chips and salsa perfect and prices just what they should be. Nothing fancy, but good food and peeps. read more

I stopped here for dinner. This is very Mexican. The abuelita, who speaks only Spanish is charming and attentive. She prepared the salsas and chips and brought them to our table. I had the Huarache with pibil. It was fabulous. Abuelita checked in to be sure I was enjoying the meal she prepared with such care. I highly recommend this local find. read more

I am basing this review on the customer service. As we entered the restaurant, there was one other customer at the bar finishing up his meal. The guy greeted us and quickly gave us two menus and walked away. Another lady "Letty" took our order while the guy that initially greeted us sat down to eat at a table next to the counter with who I am assuming is "grandma/abuela" no problem. I understand being hungry. After we ordered Letty took the order to the guy and began to discuss our order and how to make it! Seriously? It was obvious that she was either new, or worked in a different area of the business. But to have the two of the others simply instruct her from their seats while she brought food out for them to inspect was just ridiculous! In all, we waited 15min for our food to be prepared. As the food was being packaged and coincidentally after I mentioned to my husband how discussed I was about the whole thing, did the owner finally offer to help. Then two other ladies came in and the guy went out of his way to cater to them. Excuse me, but I was the only one in the restaurant, and had a baby! To finish it off, the food was terrible! I don't know what the other people ate, but we ordered the burrito, sope, and nopal salad. Even the "complimentary" chips (with no salsa might I add) were stale as ever! I cannot believe they even served these! Not one of them was worth the $6+ a plate! read more

Wanted to try this place. However, we went by twice on too different days and they were closed. Not sure how they stay in business when they are never open even though their hours state they should be open. Won't go back and try again. read more

My god I love this food! Out of everything in town, this is by far the most authentic for sure! I recommend ordering his Oaxacan Horchata. It's amazing. And the owner has pretty great customer service. He's so damn friendly and respectful. The only downfall is that occasionally the hours of operation are wonky. Definitely call before coming in. read more

What a delightful surprise! My husband, 6 yr old son and I wanted to try someplace new last weekend, and happened by Grandma's Kitchen. We went in, were immediately greeted warmly and service was stellar all night. In fact, when our server was in the middle of bringing us more chips & salsa and got way-laid at another table, another employee grabbed the stuff out of his hand and brought out to us with a smile. Everyone seemed happy & to work well together... Great environment. The good was fantastic. My kiddo scarfed his taco & soup, loved it all and pronounced that we'll definitely be back. My husband asked if he could adopt a new Grandma. Bottom line, super fresh, delicious food. Great prices, great service. read more

Awesome place! Very homey and the food is absolutely delicious. It's very authentic and made with quality. read more

Grandma's Kitchen - Beef Torta - Mexican Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

The owner is the cook and he is unable to keep up with orders. We waited 45 minutes for a simple and uninspired meal. As we left we noticed Customers coming in who were unmasked and the tables were cleaned with a towel and no sanitation spray although there was hand sanitizer in a bottle on each table. The air hangs heavy with the smell of grease inside. read more

Just finished a long day of work and facing a long drive. Needing food I looked in yelp. Grandma's kitchen was kind of hard for me to find. Hint: directly across from Marcy's. Have you ever made something with cheese and had bits of crispy cheese left on the pan? Those are good, now imagine a chicken salad in a bowel of crispy fried cheese. Yum!! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Never saw any refried beans with melted cheese on them. Fresh and tasty read more

Great food and exceptional service! I left my wallet there and they were so kind and mailed it back to me right away. Even sent it signature required. When in Walla Walla, you must check them out! Try the cactus as your meat option. Delicious! read more

Everything was delicious and the owner was hustling but so nice and friendly. Definitely try the pibil-pork. Amazing!

Maybe the worst restaurant I've ever been to. Seemed cute and homey at first but turned out to be a disaster. The menu on the wall has different information than the table menu but it turned out not to matter anyway because they were out of most of the ingredients and there was no daily special even though they advertise having one. I got a vegetarian sope because I don't eat pork and that's all they had and my wife got soup and a pork taco. She had to wait 15 minutes for the soup and it was too salty to eat. Then our food finally came out and, big surprise, it was wrong! They brought me a pork sope. When they finally got our order right, we'd been there almost an hour and the food was messy and bland. The exasperated manager, Manuel, came to apologize and gave a bunch of excuses and dragged his overworked mother out of the kitchen to talk to us. It was sad. We were very uncomfortable and desperate to leave. Overall, it was a frustrating and awkward experience. We won't be going back. Oh, and they charge for chips and salsa! And you're forced to listen to elevator music for the whole eternity it takes them to make your mediocre food. read more

Definitely worth a try. The food left me just the right amount of full, but not too full like most Mexican restaurants. The food was fresh and very tasty. We tried the elote (corn) burritos and nopales tacos, both were great. I would eat here again and again if I lived here. Try it!!!!!!! read more

Great flavor. The guy who took my order my was very polite! My beans were a little runny but who cares when my burrito had crazy amazing flavor!! Wish I had tried them sooner! Thanks @robert D read more

Great pork tacos. They had a little stand at north star for spring release. The gentleman working that day helped bring my tacos over to our table since my hands were full. I had the pork tacos which were extremely moist and flavorful. They add in a relish/slaw type topping be cautious of this topping it has habaneros. Thankfully, I asked if there was any habanero in the dish because I am deathly allergic to habaneros. read more

Grandma's Kitchen - The best Mexican restaurant around! - Mexican Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

Never going back Must not be the same place these other yelps are. Way slow. Like over one and half hours, people leaving due to bad service ,lack of food, wrong orders, most everyone in there was unhappy, I am pretty patient guy and we were not in a big hurry but my food was mediocre at best and I did not finish it. Should have known right of the get go. Bad vib from customers when we walked in at first. Who runs out of guac. And green sauce at a Mexican rest. read more

We stopped in based upon reviews we saw on Yelp. This particular Friday night the owner/cook and "Mom"(?) were alone trying to attend to all of their customers. It was a bit of a wait but they acknowledged us, got us seated...we just had to wait a bit for food. They were very nice and the food was great. The owner was making homemade tortillas...the meat fillings were delicious! The guacamole was being made as we waited. We were not disappointed! read more

The owner was running the restaurant all by his self but still delivered on an amazing fresh meal for me and my 3 friends. Friendly, tasty, fresh, and authentic! read more

Simple clean favors. Compared to over sauced/cheesed dishes at other local Mexican places I would take this any day.

Went in around 7:30. Took 5 minutes to get chips, which they charge for. Never got any beverages after they were ordered. Ended up paying for chips and leaving. read more
