    Jalapeño margarita
    Julie D.

    This is our go to Mexican food restaurant. Roberto is friendly and always has a smile. Three crunchy tacos for $9, free chips and salsa. The best queso. Excellent margaritas with a full menu. Fabulous service. Check out our favorite place!

    Carne Asada Fajitas
    Crissey Y.

    It was our first time trying this restaurant and we were impressed! We shared the carne asada fajita. The beef was tender and juicy. The rice and beans were also seasoned and tasted good. The salsa that came with the chips had a great taste. If we can provide any constructive feedback is that we didn't love the pico de gallo as it was a tad bland. Also, when I asked the waitress about the rewards that I had enrolled into coming into the restaurant, what she told me was not the same as what is printed on the machine. From what I gathered, you enter your number or email into the machine right when you come into the restaurant and it tracks total times you've been there. The instructions say that your 8th meal is free. But when I asked the waitress, she said it was the 10th meal and you get $10 off. The info she gave did not match the instructions on the machine. I didn't deduct points and the food we tried was delicious.

    Wings and 3 ground beef tacos

    We have been here quite a few times. Food is delicious, everyone is nice and helpful. Decent prices. We went during happy hour.

    Chimichanga

    I really wanted to like this place. Photos looked amazing, so we placed an order through door dash. This review is for the food only, not the staff or restaurant. The food was packaged very nicely, presentation was great. Review of food: The chimichanga was so greasy inside, and the meat was incredibly salty. The chile relleno was so tough, and the egg batter was extremely thick. The cheese inside didn't even taste like cheese, it tasted like cheesy scrambled egg. I requested support through door dash and they only gave me a $10 credit, for a $60 order. We unfortunately won't be ordering from here again :(

    This place is located off of Bothell Everett Hwy, went for early dinner on a Friday night. Nothing really special stood out about it and is like a regular Mexican food restaurant. I ordered the carne asada burrito, and my dad the buffalo wings. They were super salty. Other than the food, the service was really good and friendly.

    Happy hour chicken tacos
    Margot C.

    We came here yesterday for happy hour. The place was pretty empty around 5:30 and we sat on the patio because we brought our dog. Service was very attentive and friendly. They quickly brought us waters, silverware, and chips and salsa. The chips were really good - thin and crispy. The salsa had a good flavor but not much spice. We both got margaritas which were tasty and only $7 for happy hour. For food, we got the fiesta avocado, queso, chicken tacos and chicken quesadilla. The food came out pretty quickly and the portions were pretty large. It was a great deal with the happy hour prices. The fiesta avocado was basically deconstructed guacamole. It had chunks of avocado, tomato and onions and was well seasoned with some spices and lime juice. It was really tasty and refreshing. I definitely recommend this. The queso was on the thinner side but super yummy and packed a good amount of heat. It was delicious and I kept eating more even though I was getting stuffed. My husband liked his tacos and commented on how they were packed with meat. My quesadilla was also tasty and had a ton of chicken. But it seemed they didn't drain the chicken before making it so it got pretty soggy on the bottom. It still tasted good though and came with some delicious guacamole on the side. We will definitely be back for another happy hour and to check out the rest of the menu.

    Chimichanga
    Steve S.

    We've had good take out from Patrona several times but had not dined in. I don't like writing reviews based on takeout, doesn't seem fair to evaluate food that's travelled for several minutes in a container. My wife and I decided to grab lunch during the week and had a delicious meal! Service was great, drinks were strong and food was tasty! I love that their chips with salsa are served hot and fresh (also included and not an extra fee for them). I had the Mole chicken enchiladas plate with rice and beans which were very delicious. My wife had the ala carte carnitas chimichanga that comes with guacamole and sour cream and is a great deal for $7! Oh, we both had margaritas and they were delicious too! Definitely very tasty Mexican food!

I asked for the sauce on the side so I could try the other salsa with them. I am so glad I did. The carne asada tacos were really good.

La Gloria is the exception. Reviews glow, but since you have seen my score, it's clear there is room for improvement. Once seated, we were served a Tostada. This was a single small fried tortilla with beans, cabbage and salsa. Probably cost less than $.25 in material, but sells for around $7. Now whenever, I talked to my God Mother, rest in peace, about a new Mexican restaurant, her first question was always the same, "How were the Frijoles?". These beans were creamy, well-seasoned and flavorful. The best refried beans I've tasted in some time. I still say the appetizer is overpriced, but I also see why they serve you one free for dining in. We started with chips and salsa. I still say, they should be free, but at $4, it's a little tough to complaint, but I will. The chips came on a dinner plate. A dinner plate of chips would be about the same size as a restaurant basket of chips, however, there was a large bowl big enough for soup with the smallest amount of salsa in it. So now, 25% of that surface space is gone. This bowl which most likely holds 16 oz has about 3 ounces of salsa, in it and 1/3 of the plate space is empty, So you have enough chips for one person and barely enough salsa for dipping. The salsa was also tart, no heat, no seasoning, we were very disappointed. Last, if you charge me for chips and salsa, it better be bottomless, but once the chips were gone, they removed the plate and bowl without offering to refill either. There were a couple items that looked good to me, but they both had squash. Sorry, I've never heard of squash in Mexican food, unless it's vegan, but maybe it's popular in the region this family is from. Rather than ask if it could be removed, I decided to go with the Carnes Asada. The food took a while to arrive, but they said everything is made from scratch and fresh, so I anticipated a meal worthy of El Presidente himself! Now, clearly this place was not without its flaws, but this was the best Carne Asada I've ever tasted. I was really skeptical, because it was thick cut and when Carna Asada is thick cut certain things tend to happen, it's not cooked evenly, the meat isn't seasoned well enough, so bites end up being bland. No, this was juicy, well-seasoned and cooked evenly, flawless. It also came with a generous scoop of guacamole, that didn't really impress. It was also served with Fried Cheese, no idea what that is, sounds like something served at the fair on stick. I got several tortillas that were hot and fresh and a small cup of whole beans that could have used some crumbled cheese on top. There was also a large portion of rice, but the flavor was a bit fishy. I don't know if they used a seafood broth, but for me it was inedible. There was also a smoky, spicy salsa served, but again, it was a tablespoon. Stop being so cheap with the salsa! This also would have been a far better salsa to go with chips than what was served. Glad I tasted everything, but not sure I would order it again. I didn't eat half of what was served do to taste which means I overpaid. If we do make it back, it would probably be for happy hour. That way we could sample a couple other items in a smaller portion for less. Would I recommend this place, sure, but not without the above cautions included. I like to clean my plate and feel like I got a deal, neither happened here due to some questionable choices in flavor or seasoning. The people could not have been nicer, but I can't say we left completely satisfied.

Started off with free chips, salsa and beans which is rare these days. The salsa and beans together were delicious. For our main course. we went with the chilaquiles and the chicken taquitos. The chilaquiles came in verde sauce and were huge and nicely crispy with onions and cojita and a big side of beans and eggs. Taquitos seemed freshly made and were also crunchy with a satisfying amount of chicken. We also got a house margarita and a sangria - both were fine but definitely from a mix so a bit too sweet.
