We went to college in Ellensburg and unfortunately didn't discover Los Cabos until after we graduated. The ambience is authentic, the service is fast, and the food consistently hits the spot. Plus I love that they have a cheese enchilada on the menu. We eat here every time we're in Ellensburg, at least a few times a year, and always leave satisfied. If you're looking for Mexican in town, this is it. read more

Los Cabos - Cheese enchilada- yummmm - Mexican Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

Have always had great quick service. Can't recommend much because I think I always get the same thing, the chicken avocado tostada. My only complaint is they don't have Coca-Cola products, and I just couldn't drink that sickening sweet Diet Pepsi last visit. $3.75 down the drain. read more

This is great if you don't like authentic Mexican - lots of shredded lettuce, no spices with sour cream. Meh. It was clean and friendly with ample parking read more

I ordered a Chile Relleno that comes with rice and beans or fries.... It was rubbery I read the reviews after sitting down to the table and I agree 100% the cashier is GRUMPY and should be in the back of the restaurant. He is obviously not a people person or a customer service person and should not be the person to greet customers. Again back of the restaurant or cleaning tables is where he should be The Margarita was excellent as was the service from the two ladies who waited on our table read more

Stopped to charge the Tesla on the way to Spokane. Fast and friendly service. Loved the salsa which was a sign the food would be great. Loved the enchilada and chili Rejanos as well. Worth a dinner stop. read more

I eat the chicken enchiladas every time I go here. Love the staff, theyre friendly and attentive. They hold it down and offer some of the best service and food in town. Highly recommend! read more

First off, service was great, the young woman who helped us was wonderful and checked on us often. With that being said, this is your typical mexican food, you would get the exact same thing at azteca, or el sarape. Their salsa for their chips is a little better then some others, but it isn't really the kind of place I would search out going to again. read more

I ordered the picadillo taco salad & churros at Los Cabos. The picadillo taco salad consists of shredded beef topped w/ lettuce, tomatoes, & shredded cheddar cheese. It's what you can expect from the name but it was pretty good. The churros was topped w/ whipped cream & strawberries. It was decent but I had better at other restaurants. They also give you tortilla chips & salsa on the side which was pretty addicting to eat. read more

Late breakfast/early lunch after harrowing drive through Snoqualmie Pass . The roads were bad but at least the pass was open. This place was right off the exit and I was ready to get out of the vehicle (my wife had to pry my imbedded fingers out of the steering wheel). The house made salsa and fresh tortilla chips were very good. The Huevos Rancheros was a solid meal that we enjoyed very much. The house made refried beans were a great addition to the plate. I do not understand the mixed reviews about the service and food. Our experience was warm and friendly. It features 3 different eating areas in a clean and welcoming facility. Recommend. read more

Los Cabos - Grilled chicken - Mexican Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

Went there for lunch. Nice space reminds me of Mexican restaurants in El Paso, TX. Didn't try the chips and salsa so cannot comment on it. Very extensive menu. I tried the pollo en mole. I know mole is different everywhere but this one was just ok. It was more on the sweeter side but definitely had an after bite. I don't think I'd try the dish again. The tortillas were ok- not homemade. Something I'd expect from a restaurant with a decor like this one. The waiter dropped our check and even when I tried to get his attention twice after he just walked on by. Overall not a good experience. I'd definitely hit other places instead of coming here again. read more

Sat in the bar. It had one small tv and was not inviting. Took awhile to get service. When we did the chips and salsa were okay not great. The food was bland and they obviously used poor quality ingredients. Could have been microwaved. You also only get one free refill on sodas. I just happen to be thirsty that day. Never seen a restaurant that charges $3.00 for soda and won't give more than one refills. Based on the service and price and quality of food, I will never come back here read more

I've been eating Mexican food since I was a baby, one of the benefits of having a mother that grew up in Mexico. I also grew up south of the border. I will be honest with this review. The customer service was fantastic but this food is so disrespectful to Mexican culture. This is like Taco Bell quality. true Mexicans or people that value good Mexican food would not be eating at this restaurant unless they were starving, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good authentic Mexican food Runaway as I should've done. read more

Worst Mexican food in the planet. If you are looking for processed nursing home quality Mexican food this is it. Worst food on the road - stop by for a quick bite and the place was not busy. We ordered four plates and every plate was made wrong with no flavor or taste and the food quality was horrible. I've been to some questionable places, but this one really tops it all. The service was friendly, but it seems like the male owner was not happy to see customer in his restaurant. If you think this food is authentic you may want to get out more often. I should've read the reviews before stopping, but it looks like its the best Mexican restaurant in Ellensburg. If only I could give them minus five starts. read more

We just stopped in for lunch on Mother's Day. Service was OK but could have been quicker. Waited about 35 minutes for food. Food was pricey for quantity and quality. I ordered cheese enchiladas they were good, the enchilada sauce was super good. Rice and beans were normal. My boyfriend order an $18 steak and chicken fajita platter, unfortunately it was all onions and peppers. There was only a couple bites of meat. The flour tortillas were warm and good. We had to ask for refills (multiple times), had to ask for chips and salsa, and flag them down again for more tortillas. We did not get one pass by to see how things were or if we needed anything. Also, we had a little girl with us and had an unavoidable spill which we had zero help in cleaning up or replacing the water or napkins. I got up and grabbed them off of a server station. The restaurant it's self was clean and actually really cool looking. Silver wear and glasses were clean. Bathrooms were small and cramped and had trash and rolls of toilet paper on the floor. Great location right off the freeway. Parking was easy. All in all it was okay, not great not terrible. Will I be back? Maybe if I am really craving Mexican and every other place in town is closed. read more

Food is well prepared, with good flavor and presentation. The Camarones a la diabla had more a sweetness than spiciness which created a unique taste. Contained mushrooms which was the 1st time I had seen that. Tremendous rice and beans-perfect with added diabla sauce. Corn tortillas are very good and avocado adds nice touch. Chips were warm, golden, and crispy and good chunky salsa. Bar area very tranquilo for a Monday lunch. Service very friendly and efficient. Ranchero and Norteño music to entertain. Family from a the small pueblo of Cuautla, Jalisco, México. read more

Ellensburg is definitely not the hottest travel destination but while here to visit some people at the university near by, we stopped by this place for a quick bite to eat. First off the location is so perfect because it right off of the freeway. It was also very easy to find when we were driving from the Central Washington University campus to the restaurant. They also have ample parking for the nights that they are busy and it is very close to other fast food places and local convenient stores if needed. As for the food, while deciding what to order we were given chips and salsa. I found the salsa to be a good combination of spicy but not spicy enough to burn the taste buds off your tongue. The chips were fine too and not stale. I decided to order the chicken fajitas and split them with a friend. The chicken was great as it was not too dry or under cooked in anyway. It was accompanied with green bell peppers and onions which were seasoned well. And it of course came with the standard rice, beans, gauc, sour cream, and tortillas. After finishing our meal, we still had enough to take home! Overall the service was great and very quick! Our waitress answered all of our questions and engaged in conversation as we were visiting the small town. I would recommend this if you're looking for a good bite to eat while in town! read more

Orderd chicken enchilada that had a bone in it when I asked for my money back. They said fine I said thank you hVe a good day and she said I hope you don't have a good day. We have went here for years and I won't be returning read more

Great food and great service. We got veggie fajitas with no mushrooms, and no dairy and it came out perfectly. My margarita was excellent. My daughter got chicken fajitas and hers was excellent as well. Friendly service and not a super long wait. Definitely eating here again. read more

I was in Ellensburg about a week ago on a business trip (not the most exciting place for business lol) and the hotel I was staying at did not have a restaurant. So, I ventured out on foot in search of a Mexican restaurant (Fiesta something) I had passed while driving earlier in the day. I saw it across the street to my left, but then I saw Los Cabos on my right. Hmmmm...what to do. Los Cabos was on my side of the street, so I decided to go with it. I'm glad I did! I went into the Cantina/lounge area and sat at the bar. Staff was quite friendly. I had two jumbo margaritas mmmmmm. I speak some Spanish, so I had a nice conversation with the two bartenders. Food was good and large portions so I could have some leftovers for lunch. I was in search of some good drinks, food, and conversation and that's just what I found. Gracias mis amigos! read more

WARNING DONT GET A REFILL. They don't tell you that their refills aren't free and then they charge you at the end and don't tell you a damn thing and then say " well you drank it so no money back " SCAM! Plus their mild salsa is legit their enchilada sauce! Food wasn't even that good, never again. UPDATE! Got food poisoning too read more

Sorry wasn't impressed, we ordered the La Co salad plus refried beans and rice,the salad looked like it had been thrown together the lettuce looked like and tasted like chopped up iceberg terrible ,the refried beans looked like they came out of a can and the rice no flavor, sorry to say this was definitely not authentic and way too pricy for the amount you get ,these people who eat here do not have a clue what authentic Mexican food looks like or even tastes like poor quality. read more

Wow, probably the most awful Mexican meal I had in a while... actually probably the most awful meal of any ethnic style in a while. Tim M. and I were starving after a day of climbing and decided to stop in. I had the tres cabos (which is three meals in one). The carne asada left a weird taste in my mouth, the bacon wrapped shrimp was deep friend to a burnt crisp with minimal flavoring, and the chicken breast was so bad I refused to eat it (smell and tastes kinda like poop). To give you a sense of what it takes for me to not eat something: I hate wasting food, so I have eaten bugs, worms, and whale blubber. It's impossibly rare when something is so bad that I won't eat it. And Tim's fajitas are just barely any better. The only reason it even earned its single star is because the service is PHENOMENAL. But unfortunately, that will not carry its terrible food. DO NOT GO. read more

The worst Mexican food out there. Super dry tacos and the worst customer service imaginable. I literally wasted my money and will never be back read more

The food was soggy shrimp was sweet it was mostly nasty but I guess the rice and beans were ok. The service was horrible they got everyone's Order wrong,the workers were very rude I'd actually give this place no star... read more

I have no idea how anyone could give this place more than one star. This is BY FAR the most disgusting food I have ever ordered. I left hungry because I couldn't stomach eating their food. The first red flag is when we asked for some mild salsa for the kids and the stuff they brought out was steaming hot and tasted like watered down bean water. It looked as if they poured a can of cheap vegetable beef soup into a salsa bowl. Then our meals came out and I had ordered a ground beef burrito and a picadillo enchilada. When I brought a bite of the ground beef burrito up to my mouth, I caught a whiff of it and realized the ground beef smelled like dog food. I tried to look past it and took a bite; big mistake. It tasted like what I imagine Alpo dog food tastes like and had a very weird texture. I decided I couldn't do it, so I went to try the enchilada. Again, the picadillo inside the enchilada tasted like a cheap pot roast TV dinner. Disgusting. Myself, my mother-in-law, son, and nephew only ate about two bites of our meals. I would never go back. read more

I've been here twice and both times I was satisfied with my meal. I make a point to stop here when I'm passing through and there is truck/rv parking in the rear with a large enough area to turn around. I wish I had one of these closer to home. read more

Bomb ass salsa and the male server who always serves us on my birthday is amazing and hilarious

This place is very good! My favorite go to Mexican food. Very friendly people and service is awesome. Food is brought out quick and hot! Love their Macho Burrito and their Chicken Taquitos! If you come here between 10:30-3 pm, you can get the lunch portion. It's huge so I'm sure that the regular plate must need a to go box. Never a disappointment in this place. Located right as you turn in for the Mc Donald's RV parking. It sits back off the street and signage is not as visible. A must place to eat! read more

What terrific service! We enjoyed authentic Mexican fare following a day of baseball. Our party of 10 adults and 9 children ranging in age from 3 to 12 were treated to delightful service and quality food in a celebratory atmosphere. read more

The food is delicious, but the people make this place great. Pros? -They won't charge you for all the tiny sides like some places... -Friendly and entertaining service, especially if you are a return customer -Food comes out hot and fresh -Typical Mexican restaurant portion sizes -They will truly cater to your every whim (don't want the MASSIVE margaritas? Ask for a half size) Cons? -It's a ways away from anything -The blue margaritas are addicting read more

I walked in and saw dirt all over the floor. Took over 25 minutes to get our food and my dinner was cold. Not slightly warm, not luke warm, like shouldn't have been served cold. And now I sit while the rest of my family eats waiting for my dinner, which is most likely being microwaved in back, to come back out. Saving grace from a one star was the fact that once my food arrived the second time it was really good! read more

Los Cabos - Mexican Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

On our way through to Seattle and we needed fuel. We decided we were hungry and came to Yelp for help. This place looked good and the reviews were pretty good so we decided to stop. The warm chips came with a salsa that had a smoky chipotle taste. It was ok but not my favourite. We decided to order the pico de gallo with it but it was very plain. I like my pico with a little lime and a pinch of salt helps with flavour, but this seemed to be missing both. I was worried because while the chips were fresh and flavourful the two sides were a fail. We both had carne asada and it was a very pleasant surprise. The meat was exactly opposite of the pico. It was very flavourful and the refried beans were pretty good. I'd pass on the rice but who orders carne asada for the beans and rice anyway? The steak was great with the cooked green onions and if I was only rating that I might give it 5 stars. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was no where close to that. read more

Los Cabos - Carne asada ranchera - Mexican Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

Some restaurants are MexiCAN. This one is MexiCAN'T! Heading home after visiting family in Blaine, WA, we decided to stop for fuel in Ellensberg and grab a quick roadside lunch. There were plenty of fast food places but this "real" restaurant beckoned - we've been on an extended RV trip to Alaska and hadn't eaten good Mexican food in quite awhile. Los Cabos looked promising.... Nicely painted and decorated on the outside and the inside was clean and festively decorated. Our friendly server was quick to meet, greet, and seat. Another plus. We ordered our drinks and made selections from the lunch menu - my wife the tortilla soup and I the taco, rice, and beans. The food arrived in minutes and appeared fresh and piping hot.... Then the bubble burst. The food lacked flavor. My wife's tortilla soup tasted like plain old chicken broth and she didn't even get a tortilla with her order - doesn't come with one. That's a first. The taco tasted like ground beef... Barely a hint of any spices. The was adequate lettuce, no onions, and instead of the typical cubed tomatoes, a single thick slice of a large tomato. The cheese was not the typical Mexican cheese. Just plain old shredded American. The rice was also bland and lacked that good Mexican flavor. It was better than plain white rice, but not by much. The refried beans were okay. The bill? $25.00 for two, soda pop included. My advice: Skip this place, stop at Taco Bell. The food will taste better and will cost you half as much. read more

I've been here on many occasions and it's always a pleasure. The staff is so kind and cheery, it makes you feel at home. I often get the chicken or beef enchiladas, their food is always extremely fresh and hot, they have great sized portions for the price, and the service is wonderful. It's not always the fastest but on the occasions it has taken awhile I have been with a large group of people. Highly satisfied. read more

The one good thing, the lunches were reasonably priced. Also, although there were a few people in the restaurant at the time I ate lunch, my lunch came out in TWO minutes! Wow! Despite the fact that I asked for NO beans. I had chicken taquitos. They weren't bad, but not the best I've ever had. They were generous with the sour cream and guacamole, but I didn't like the taste of the guacamole. It tasted..... too..... "commercial." Like it wasn't freshly made, it was a commercial thing full of chemicals. Also, the salsa with chips. Over the years I have developed a fine tuned palate for detecting whether the salsa was made with tomato sauce or not. Some Mexican friends I used to know say that using tomato sauce is "cheating." Well, the salsa had tomato sauce. Oh well. I have only been to one Mexican restaurant in my life that made their own salsa fresh with no tomato sauce. There is a sign that indicates "RV and Bus parking" but I wouldn't take your RV in here. You have to drive over a small "hump" to get in the parking lot and an RV will scrape bottom. I came here in a rental car. read more

This very clean, festively decorated family joint did not impart my chile relleno with anything but sadness, and oddly enough, a side of sauerkraut. I might come back again, but only for a generous cocktail and the attentive service. Look further afield for Mexican food in Ellensburg. read more
