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.

Perfectly cheesy, loaded with meat, and fresh avocados. Would definitely come back for this. 5 stars for me. I've been here multiple times for tacos and they haven't impressed me. I find the meat to be overly dry (especially the steak) even after I try to load it up with salsa. 3 star tacos. Their sauce and toppings bar has a lot of options which I appreciate. Food comes out fairly quickly after you order. Lots of seating inside. Making this place convenient to grab a quick bite and affordable!! I wouldn't come back if I'm craving tacos, but definitely willing to try other dishes.

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!

Now I had been disappointed by food in my life. It happens. But today was worse. Imagine having a hectic day. You got to the office at 5am. Then you go on a working lunch and place and order. I always order La Mula. It is amazing and flavorful and the portion size is great too! Today I decided I'd try the asada. Well today I learned what people mean when they say they were so upset that they just started crying because they couldn't act the way they wanted to (I wanted to act a fool!). I get it. Steak is expensive. But if I come up to you with a super disappointed look because you basically grilled a whole onion then threw it on top of some bread and a thin pounded out skirt steak....idk. Don't act like I'm complaining for no reason. These sandwiches are $18 a pop. I'm expecting a little more than this. That said I'll never eat that sandwich again.

I find that outside of seafood their other meats are nothing special. Get the rice as well, theirs is flavorful and not mushy. The red salsa is the less spicier one compared to the green salsa (both are good but I prefer the red somehow, it just has a bit of a depth to it). Their horchata is delish, not too sweet or bland tasting. I call first before swinging by to make sure they're open. Best seafood tacos I've had (I have a bit of preference to the shrimp, I can eat 10 and never get tired of it lol)

Ordered beers, a margarita and chips. Chips were good, light and crispy. Margarita was as good as I expected. Nothing great. Now the tacos. We ordered 15. 5 pork (tasteless), 5 carne asada (crappy shredded beef at best) and chicken (the BEST!). The guys didn't want chicken, but we were so glad we ordered it. I asked for cilantro on the side because I hate cilantro. Instead of giving us the onions on top as the menu says, and the cilantro on the side, they gave us a mix of cilantro and onions. Well, so I couldn't have onions because they were mixed in with the cilantro. So on to the wet burritos. Mine, with chicken, was amazing!!! Highly recommend. The boys got carne asada. Again, shredded beef, weird flavor. They hated them. Salsa bar? Well. I would call it more of a "every sauce is so hot we couldn't eat it" bar. Even asked if there were any that were not hot, the waiter said no. We did enjoy the side plate of cucumbers (probably to cool you off from the only hot sauce) and radishes. All in all I might get a CHICKEN wet burrito to go next time...

There's two tables provided, not the most clean so most everyone takes it Togo. Post is only about Taco Tuesday however I've had their other menu items and really enjoyed those too. $1.30 tacos for certain meats: pollo, pastor, carnitas, cabeza and chorizo. The pastor and chorizo are very flavorful, leaning slightly salty if you prefer that. Carnitas and cabeza are my personal favorites, good mix of fatty and meaty that is just juicy enough. Pollo is also good not dry. They have four salsas that are self serve, the greens are my preferred, not too spicy. The reds are mostly spice and less flavorful, they made me tear up a bit. Also self serve is limes, pickled onions and carrots/veggies, and sliced radishes. Really like the pickled onions and sliced radishes with the tacos, I've found them to be fresh every time. Sometimes served with grilled onions and a grilled pepper which is the best, but not guaranteed. I'd come back to try other dishes but you can't beat their taco Tuesdays deal.

I knew going in, this was either going to be great or garbage and unfortunately it was the latter. For a place that has been in business for a decade (which I didn't know ahead of time) to only have 60 reviews, it's clear traffic is low here. Also, some of these 5 star reviews are sketchy. I didn't trust reviews from people with less than 5 reviews, or people that aren't local with low review counts. Do you really want me to believe you flew into Seattle, stumbled on this place and then had the best meal of your life? First was the price. I had a burrito and soda and it was $22. At $17 the burrito alone was just as much as a combo meal from a full service restaurant. Based on the price, thought I would be working with a monster, but the burrito was no bigger than Chipotle burrito and not nearly as good. They used refried instead of whole beans and added watered down sour cream which really impacted the flavor. Service was friendly, but that is the only positive. Prices were unreasonable. Flavor was inexcusable and portion was regrettable. I ate less than half and had to force myself to eat that much. After spending so much cash, I felt obligated to force it down, until I realized I was punishing myself.

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. Our waitress checked in on us often, was super polite and friendly, and was prompt with our bill. All in all a wonderful lunch!
