    Quesabirria

    Came here twice. Tacos from the first time were alright, nothing amazing. 2nd time i had quesabirrias and it tastes much better than the tacos, although we also asked for guacamole on the side and i didn't like it. It looked and tasted like store bought guac. I love that they also include the consomé on the side, not many restaurants have this. Was bummed that they don't have any of the juices that they advertise. The people here are kind but not quick to attend. Overall It's an ok place.

    My hubby suggested I check this place out, and he nailed it. And now I'm wrecked because they have pupusas! They also have posole all the time, and not just on the weekends. The food was fantastic, but they were so warm and welcoming to me even though I was getting a take out. The place was very clean. It's fun trying new places, but knowing pupusas are five minutes away from my hotel is going to bring me back.

    Where else can you get Ballenas in WA?

    I've been going here for almost 10 years, and it's still as good as ever. Bonus: the whole restaurant is hospital clean and they are doing a great job of running the restaurant while maintaining good social distancing. Also, Ballenas!

    Went there with my whole family of 6, very reasonable prices, yummy food, reminded me of my mom's food, thats HARD TO FIND!! One of the platters we got was the Carne Asada. The steak was so juicy and flavorful, topped with grilled onions, guacamole and a side of Rice and Beans. It was by far one of the best Carne Asada meals I have had in a long time. We also tried their menudo which is only served on the weekends, and it was also very well prepared. The tripe was chopped in small pieces which made it very easy to eat. A simple dish made well. The Salsa bar was also very tasty, lots of different flavors ;)

    Over priced. $14 for four asada tacos and No seasoning on asada tacos. Tastes like ground beef.

The service was great--everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The menu is pretty extensive, especially when it comes to tacos, so there are plenty of options to choose from. I tried the asada, carnitas, birria, and adobada tacos. All were decent, with the birria being my favorite. The other meats weren't bad by any means, but they were a bit on the drier side compared to some other taco spots I've been to. The rice and beans were pretty standard--exactly what you'd expect, nothing particularly standout. One thing I really liked, though, was the self-serve salsa bar. It's always a plus being able to customize your flavors. One thing to note is that you do need to bus your own table, but considering the price and portion sizes, it feels fair and worth it. Overall, a solid spot for a casual meal. I'll definitely be exploring more of this area of Renton--there seem to be a ton of authentic Mexican restaurants nearby. We went late at night, so options were a bit limited at the time, but this was a good find.

For this visit I only did takeout, though I did get a chance to go inside with my friends as we were waiting for our orders. It's bright and extremely casual inside with ample seating, though nearly everyone that came in did takeout like we did. And there were people constantly coming in and out for the food here! Staff was quick in prepping everything and asking if we wanted extra sauce on the side. I got their carnitas plate, and as a takeout portions are huge here! Meat was flavorful, tender and savory; the jalapeños added a nice spice to the dish; and the extra sauces on the side added even more spice onto it that I enjoyed. The dish was wrapped well in a disposable aluminum plate and covered as well. This went for all of our orders, which included the burrito plate and taco salad. This place is easily one I'd come back to for Mexican food at a great price and quality!

But just as I was convincing her to give it a moment the staff came out from the back with orders, saw us, and we were quickly seated by the window. The space has been converted and feels that way, like the fingerprints of the previous tenant has not been erased. The menu is extensive with all the typical dishes we see in Mexican restaurants with very reasonable costs. They offer a few alcoholic drinks including margaritas, which I found to be splendid and perfectly balanced. The food also was tasty. I ate the enchiladas especial which seemed like fairly typical enchiladas and I mean that in the best of ways. The service also was great.

I had to get up to get my tortillas from the buffet isle. Waitress never came back to check on us after bringing our food. I had to get up to ask for my tab and pay at the counter. Their focus on the weekend was obvious, they focus on their buffet. I'll be trying other places near by. This is definitely not the place for me.

    This place is such an unassuming hidden gem in the North Benson Center…read more From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a super friendly host who seated us right away. Shortly after, a very kind gentleman brought us waters along with chips and salsa, which was appreciated. The chips were pretty standard Mexican restaurant chips--not my favorite. They tasted slightly greasy, even though they didn't appear to be. The salsa had good flavor but was quite thin. Our waitress greeted us within a reasonable amount of time, took our drink order, and returned with our drinks to take our food order. Since it was our first visit, we tried a few different items. I ordered the steak fajitas, which were flavorful and came with a generous amount of onions and peppers, many with a nice char (which I loved). The steak was tender and well seasoned. I do wish they offered the option to mix multiple proteins. I also ordered a ground beef hard-shell taco on the side, and it was great--the shell didn't taste stale like you often find at many Mexican restaurants. My dining partner enjoyed his meal as well. The only downside was the manager or owner standing near the computer station by the entrance for much of our visit, frequently watching the dining room. Since we were one of the first few tables, it felt a bit uncomfortable at times, even though I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Overall, this has quickly earned a top-two spot for Mexican restaurants in Renton for us. We'll definitely be back.
