I lived in the San Diego area for a couple of decades and developed a taste for Southern California style carne asada burritos, . I thought I'd never have a burrito like that again. Then I found Memo's. I ordered a carne asada burrito but I wasn't expecting much. Memo's delivered! The size was generous, the meat was tender and well seasoned, the guacamole was delicious and the salsa had a nice bite! It filled the void in my soul left by 15 years of carne asada burritos that never rose up to the occasion. BTW my wide ordered a chile rellanos and thought it was one of the top 3 she'd had in her life. It was an epic visit. read more

I love this place. The drive-through makes everything worth it. This time I ordered the Asada fries. They were really good, I would say four out of five stars. Last time I got the nachos which I would give five out of five stars. Outstanding! Lots of fresh guacamole, and sour cream. I would like more tomatoes and lettuce, but that's me. Always very friendly service at the window. So far I haven't waited more than 10 minutes in line; usually three minutes or so. Amazing refried beans and very satisfying rice. I'll definitely keep going back! read more

Holy crap this is so good...as long as Memo's has been there and I'm just now going?? Wow...excellent food...will be back many more times :) Service was great and nice scene...love it! read more

What's up with all the white people in these reviews talking about "authentic Mexican food" ? I know you foos be calling this place "Meemos" too lol. This is food for when you're drunk, it's 3am, you're starving and nothing is open. No flavor, every meat is dry, salsa tastes like just vinegar and tomato juice with a jalapeño waved over it. Go to el sabor by the community college. Matter of fact, taco time is better than this place and Taco time is the epitome of white washed Mexican food. read more

It seems they have changed management. Aside from prices for tacos doubling they are just inconsistent Last time I ordered side of beans for my daughter was a little bland but proper 8oz portion and should be for $4 and change This time I spent $9 for side rice and beans Look at images for what I received. It was a joke. I tested and you can get 5 tablespoons of food I. These containers which is less than 3 ounces. I paid for 8 ounces. DONT go there read more

Memos Mexican Food - This is what they say is 8 ounces. Is actually 3. For $9 this is a joke - Mexican Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

It's not an issue of QUANTITY, it's just the quality of the food My burrito and enchilada plates were absolutely JAM PACKED and I admit that was really a great surprise. However I felt the food was just MEH....bland and dry. I did love the salsa and appreciate the 24 hour option! read more

Yenno when you order memos for delivery and then get a panicked call from your friend who has a flat tire and you have to go get her from a 76 station in fife? And then drive home to find memos waiting on your front porch, beckoning like a lighthouse when you're lost at sea? Heats up real good. read more

Really good food, for super cheap. I honestly would eat here every day if it was closer to home. Their portions are huge so getting a taco and chimichanga left me with enough food to have left overs or dinner. read more

This place is truly garbage. Which is sad because it has been a 24hr staple in Tacoma for a long time but truly the food taste like chemicals sometimes. And if they mess up or some food item is destroyed they will not redo it before handing it through the window. Save yourself the trouble and go to California burrito instead. read more

No bueno - new ownership = nose dive. Also won't honor Grouposn purchased and still active/not yet expired. poor form if they want to keep the old customers. I won't be back read more

I received the wrong order and when I tried to call about it, the phone number no longer works. And I haven't been able to find a different phone to call. I couldn't drive back because I was grabbing a late lunch on my way to school. Really sad to see that with the new ownership this place has gone down in quality with the food taste and service. I missed coming to this place late at night while they were down. read more

SO GOOD. Authentic Mexican food! Currently eating the adobada plate and rolled chicken tacos, delicious! Everything is prepared nicely and neatly! Packaged with care. Portions are extremely generous. 10/10! Flavors are just wow! Who knew! Muchas Gracias Memos, definitely will be back for MORE! (Ordered some dessert and sides not pictured) read more

Did not get our order right and they had the audacity to say, "You need to order right." When they did not listen to what we said.

This location is the best! They are consistent and delicious when reading reviews remember only the Nancy's complain.. we order from here regularly, at LEAST twice a week the service is fast unless it's busy hours just like every other place in Tacoma in the area. read more

I absolutely love Memo's on 6th Ave in Tacoma, Washington. They have the best nachos, and Everytime I receive my food they hook me up, delicious and leaves me feeling full! The portion is AMAZING and there's always enough for later if you get hungry. If you're craving loaded nachos Memo's is definitely the spot! read more

This place is great. Really, really delicious food, huge portions, reasonably priced, and open 24 hours. There's not much more one could ask for in a restaurant. I'm addicted to their carne asada and breakfast burritos. I've been here many times and never experienced anything that the detractors are saying, so don't write this place off because of their reviews. read more

I think it's nice that they are open 24 hours. The parking lot is super small. The line gets king fast but goes down quickly. I tried the carne asada burrito. I won't say it was bad. I think it's about preference. If you love meat, it's perfect for you. I like rice and beans in my burrito so it wasn't really for me. The veggie burrito had way too much cheese. I want to try other things. read more

Wow, fue mi primera vez ordenando de este lugar, ordene una quesadilla de pollo por la ventanilla de manejo. 2 minutos pasan, cuando llego a habrir mi pedido fue un desastre muy empapado. Dinero perdido. Wow it's was my first time ordering from this place. I ordered a chicken quesadilla through the drive-thru. 2 minutes o by once I opened my order the food was soggy. Disgusting. read more

It's shocking how often there are zero people working for being open 24 hours. Today at 5:30 am, for the 3rd time in the last 2 months, I sat in the drive thru for 5 mins, salivating for a breakfast burrito, without any assistance. I drove around to the front, and the place was totally empty. This has been the situation for 3 out of 4 visits. Coincidentally, there happened to be two people sleeping in an SUV parked right behind the restaurant. Now I don't know if these were the employees of memos or just people looking for a place to rest, but it felt pertinent to at least call out. read more

They misheard my husbands order and 1 chicken burrito ended up costing $20!!! That's insane and they didn't offer to fix it at all. Chicken Burrito: $9.99 Xtra Rice $3.24 Xtra sour cream $3.24 Xtra cheese $3.24 We didn't ask for extra anything and said nothing about rice at all. They charged double for all add one instead or regular price to add sour cream and cheese. See photos below. You just lost a customer. All future customers beware. They won't refund or fix your order. read more

We went through the drive-thru and ordered a bacon, egg and potato breakfast burrito. The person said "steak?". We went back and forth quite literally 5 times saying we wanted bacon and not steak. When we cut into our burrito at home....we got steak and NOT what we ordered. read more

I just left from here.The food is OK ..They don't even have birria but the one in Lakewood is better.Not too bad tho just very basic but it was close to my house and decent lol read more

New owners. Gristle. It's not on the menu, but it's in the food. And this is after paying more than I would expect to because they would not honor a Groupon that I purchased after they purchased the restaurant, which is just really bad form. Not worth it for mediocre at best Mexican food. We won't be back. read more

I had quesadilla and my toilet ended up being a disaster a horrendous monster of a mess, tasted good though. Prob not worth the colonoscopy though read more

BUYER BEWARE/CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!!!! Usually love to stop by Memo's for some fairly authentic Mexican food. I have noticed the prices really starting to jump and change more frequently, though. But what I experienced today was new and people need to be forewarned! CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS (also make sure you get a RECEIPT). I was surprised after paying the said amount that the actual prices listed on the receipt, including tax, did NOT ADD UP TO THE TOTAL that I was charged which was what was shown on the receipt. I couldn't believe that was possible because it was the receipt printout from their register, but sure enough (see photo), those listed prices PLUS the tax add up to $35.52...THREE dollars and 24 cents difference that was charged and then collected on! I was still on-site when I reviewed the receipt and realized this, so I parked and went back in and told them their receipt didn't add up. They, of course, didn't know what I was talking about and I had to show them on my phone calculator how the listed prices and then adding the tax shown did NOT add up to the total on the receipt. They then tried to explain it was the extra sauce I ordered which is shown on the receipt and also shown to have no charge associated with it...even if that was somehow the case, THREE dollars for some extra sauce on the item that already comes with the same sauce?!?!? And even then, you can't say you're charging me for it and then it doesn't show the charge on the receipt! There next attempt was to point to the menu on the inside of the store and say the various prices were different/more...so what if they were, the RECEIPT from my purchase was wrong and overcharged me by about 10%. I wonder if this happens with all of their transactions or if it's some glitch in their computer/register system, but you can't run a business like that, so I'm not saying stay away (because the food is pretty good), but double-/triple check your receipts and make sure everything is checking out. They did pay me back the difference in cash, although that was a struggle with them knowing the difference in the overcharge, first trying to hand me $2.24 and then I had to insist for the third dollar which generated the sarcastic response from the "manager" of "here, what, you want more??" read more

Did this place get new owners? I've been here many times about 6-8 months ago and happen to be in the area so stopped by -- what a complete NEGATIVE experience! Drove up and started reading the drive up board to order and attendant must of asked me 4 time "Are you ready to order" ... very annoying-- reminded me of the drive thru scene in "Dude Where's My Car" Ordered the shredded chicken and rice burrito--- terrible------ very dry and mostly rice, with very little chicken. Sorry I went out of my way to stop here. Too bad it's gone down hill. read more

So glad they're open 24/7. When you're craving for authentic Mexican food in the middle of the night, sometimes those big Mexican fast food chains just don't cut it. My late night cravings are usually the carne asada burrito and the carne asada fries. Both are extremely good. I always order extra sour cream because it adds to the flavor. The servings are big and the prices are reasonable. Once you take a bite of the burrito, you can see they don't skimp on the meat. My husband ordered the sausage one recently for breakfast and it's currently his favorite amongst all the burritos he has tried and believe me, he has tried a lot. Service is great since they always have gotten our orders right. read more

This place is pretty horrible. It's unfortunate that this is the only Mexican place open really late. And god forbid you want to substitute a different kind of meat (carnitas instead of carne asada). It'll cost you an extra $6. And the food quality is just not there. Very lazy and thrown together. Do better. read more

Used to be great but last couple times we've ordered burritos there was much less meat and cheese and lots more veggies and salsa.

Ordered 2 burritos, 1 chicken fajitas burrito and 1 carnitas burrito. Wife had the chicken and thought it was the best burrito she ever had. Mine was good but not the best I've ever had. Drive through only, no on site seating. Service was quick, and price was reasonable $26.03 but that included 2 sodas. Why do I get drinks I'll never know. Definitely worth a try. read more

Everything tasted like sweat and mold. Delivered cold, too. What a total waste. Ew. Try using salt and actually heating the food. And I'm guessing, a major cleaning is needed. read more

this is by far the best Mexican food we've ever had. I got the dishes that the server recommend recommended and they are incredible. very fresh and authentic. read more

Asked me 3 times for my order of a bacon & egg breakfast burrito, only to serve me a steak burrito with tomato.

Nightmarish experience under new ownership and woman named "Carmen". Agree with other reviewers. I have been coming here for long only today to have the worst food experience by a Carmen, who claimed to be the manager, would not give me the owners name, and refused a refund or replacement for food that had bugs. Not just that she dusted the bugs out on me and did not even apologize instead she started laughing. In 4 years I have had only 1 issue word the food and a refund was done no questions asked and with an apology! This woman Carmen provides disastrous service. She then hung up saying she was busy. PS: their idea of "nachos" - smushed up "soggy" chips for $12! Garnished with bugs. read more

Been here twice for breakfast burritos and each time they were amazing. Sausage, egg, and cheese packed full of protein and the chorizo and potato was more chorizo than tortilla or potato. I can only comment on the breakfast burritos-they are five stars. Ordered online for pick up and breezed through the drive-through, super convenient and the food is still piping hot when I got home. I live in Tacoma so it's only a few minutes away. Haven't tried lunch or dinner, but I am taken aback by the one and two star bad reviews about this place. I'll have to give it some more tries in the evening. In the meantime, the breakfast burritos are the best. read more

Memos is one of my favorite spots in town. It's funny that the line is super long at night and more reasonable during daytime hours. They give large portions at reasonable prices. My son and I are obsessed with the carne asada fries and have ordered them a bunch of times. It's our go to comfort food. I've also tried the nachos, carne asada fry burrito, most of the tacos, churros and maybe a couple other things? Everything ok the menu is yummy. Their tacos are not tiny so if you're thinking normal small tacos and order 3-4 you may not be able to eat them all. read more

Nothing I will ever say will compare to the actual taste. You're like what? What I mean is this place puts its entire SOULLLLLL into their food. Washington burrito. That's all I'm gonna say. (Also bean burrito) This place truthfully is what keeps Tacoma, Tacoma. Like without them I would be literal straight east coast .... Chips and salsa sooo good. Every bite so flavorful. Only con is it will take 10-20 min to get a meal. But honestly, what do they say? Rome wasn't built in a day. Exactly ........ read more

Wonderfully tasty food, prepared fresh and very reasonably priced. I ordered a burrito with steak, guacamole, and salsa. Not only was it among the top ten burritos I've ever enjoyed, it was HUGE - easily large enough for two meals. A real treat, a real bargain, and open 24 hours - who could ask for more? read more

New owners. The beans taste like canned tuna now. The texture is horrible and it is making me feel sick.

I'm from San Diego, California. Been trying to find places in WA that have decent Mexican food. Memo's is damn close! The carne asada tastes like California. I will only be eating here from now on! The French fries need to be crisper thou! read more
