I order online for pickup often, and the process is always quick, easy, and accurate. My order is consistently hot, well-prepared, and ready when promised. It's rare to find a place that's this consistent every single time. Once you eat here, you'll be obsessed and keep coming back for more. Highly recommend!

Got the asada fries that were not as filling, but at a reasonable price point. Staff took us in even though they were getting ready to clean up, but they made clear which table booths to sit at while they carried out with that cleaning duty. Love the mariachi music in the background and the bright lights that really woke you up. We needed that as we were about to drive back home almost an hour more. I like that the bathroom is big, too. Very spacious restaurant and would go here again if I need a place that opens late for decompression from a high-energy event

Great Spot for Al Pastor Chilaquiles…read more The moment I walked in, I knew this place had something special going on. The Al pastor chilaquiles were perfectly balanced, with tender, flavorful pork. Every bite was delicious, not heavy or overdone, just genuinely good cooking. The atmosphere adds a lot, too. The art on the walls gives the whole place a warm, authentic personality. You can tell someone cared about creating a space that feels welcoming and rooted in culture.

Coming here it was all about those Carne Asada Fries as I don't get that very often anymore and it is just something that I've always loved from my past so finding this totally hit the spot on this given morning! The fries were your normal skinny terrible fries that you always find with this dish along with the super flavorful asada and cheese, sour cream and guacamole to hit the spot and if that weren't enough they had those delicious salsa's that just made the vibe when added to an already yummy pile of goodness! Seriously eating this took me back to my teenage days of late nights in SoCali which was totally what was good as these were perfect just what I could have asked for and something they are totally doing right!

So overall the food is pretty good. Good portions and the staff is nice. But no matter how many…read moretimes I say No sour cream while I'm ordering, I always end up with sour cream even if the order isn't supposed to come with it. And recently I purchased the mini tres leches cake that they have a photo of on the window of the building(not on the actual menu), like in a mini loaf pan. Like $5+ and I received a small square like a little bigger than a cupcake. Covered in condensed milk, was pretty good but too heavy and too sweet a little disappointing.

Doing an update after not being in Moctezuma's for a long time…read more Someone gave me the impression that the food wasn't as good as it used to be and one of the last times I was here the wait to get seated was quite long. It's good that they are doing so well however. The parking lot always looks full. My last visit here was after a planned meal stop somewhere else fell through. I still wanted supper and I was in the vicinity and decided if I could get into Moctezuma's. I got in with ease (there was just me) and seated right away. I haven't had a taco salad in I don't know how long so I ordered one of those. I also got a small sized Spicy Cucumber Margarita. The taco salad was good, very satisfying as well as the chips and salsa that came along with it. The Margarita was great, very refreshing with the cucumber and spiciness blending together nicely. Service was prompt and friendly. I still have a good impression with what I had for this place from meals of several years ago and if you do precise timing (like early supper arrival time (4:30-5 p.m.) or lunch you are more than likely to find seating easier.

She was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was right with my order. She treated me like I mattered, not like I was just another customer grabbing food and leaving. The tip I left was specifically for Alejandra because she earned every bit of it. She did far more than simply hand me a bag her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help made a lasting impression. Great customer service like hers deserves to be recognized. Thank you, Alejandra, for making my experience such a positive one!

So this is an odd one for me, and quite frankly I've never had to write a review like this…read more I had been meaning to stop by here for quite some time and even had a few friends say it was good. I finally decided to stop in and grab some lunch on my way back from a business meeting. I just started a new job, so brand new company credit card, never used it before until this moment. Keep that in mind. The food was pretty good. I ordered Birria Fries and let me tell you, it was pretty massive. For the price, this is a great deal. and the flavor was on point. I was extremely happy with the food. The decor is kind of "meh", it's obnoxiously over the top with the yellow and red. I get that it's sort of, maybe, kind of in some way giving a Mexican vibe. Whatever. I grew up in Texas and don't know that I'd call it a Mexican vibe, but it isn't my restaurant. Anyways, back to the card thing. Upon arriving home, imagine my surprise when I was notified that my card had been compromised and used to pay for a porn site. Brand new job, brand new card, never used before. Literally the only charge made on it. And boom, compromised. So my advice is, watch how you pay here and maybe only use cash, otherwise you risk your credit card being used to buy online porn. That was fun to explain to my new boss. So I'll give this one 2 stars, because the food was good. But the compromised card really irritates me. I will never trust this place again.

This is the best burrito in all of Tacoma/Lakewood!!! I tell everyone to try them. People don't know what they are missing, because they are just getting pupusas. Who would think they would have great burritos. So, these are not like any other burritos, because they are not Mexican. They use their delicious black beans, their white rice with a few little veg, sour cream, onions, cilantro, you can get really good chile sauce if you want it spicy. The sauce is so good. No cheese... can you believe it? Cheese is not even needed. You can get chicken or carne asada, or like we got, no meat and they will add avocado slices. I really wanted no meat, and platano frito added. This is what we used to get, and it's great. They should add a no meat option to the menu, and also the platano option. Everyone that loves unique delicious burritos, come check this place out. The guy that took my order was friendly, and even made our burrito half no cilantro. Thanks! They get busy.

I ordered to-go, and I am genuinely surprised that they do not have more condiments available, especially with the salsa as I got 4 pupusas.
