The Al pastor chilaquiles were perfectly balanced, with tender, flavorful pork. Every bite was delicious, not heavy or overdone, just genuinely good cooking. The atmosphere adds a lot, too.

Got the asada fries that were not as filling, but at a reasonable price point. Staff took us in even though they were getting ready to clean up, but they made clear which table booths to sit at while they carried out with that cleaning duty. Love the mariachi music in the background and the bright lights that really woke you up. We needed that as we were about to drive back home almost an hour more. I like that the bathroom is big, too. Very spacious restaurant and would go here again if I need a place that opens late for decompression from a high-energy event

We ordered a BRC burrito and Lengua tacos. Both were very good. They make the corn tortillas to order and the Lengua was cooked great, nice and tender. The beans and rice were very good too. The service was kind and friendly. I love the pictures on the walls of past Mexican movie stars with the El Antojo name placed somewhere in the photo. I highly recommend this place.

I ordered the chicken birra tacos cooked extra crispy with a side of rice and guacamole sheesh!! I felt like I was transported back in time as a kid enjoying Mexican food in El Paso Texas.

Despite the small line, there was barely any wait. There's a small table with a few stools if you'd like to eat outside, but I'd say this is mainly a takeout place.

Honestly these are very good tacos, 7.8/10 definitely getting them again if I'm ever craving tacos.read more

I had written a review on the original location. I heard they sold the place. We stopped by here…read moreafter many years of being away... and wishing, missing this food badly. This is the best burrito in all of Tacoma/Lakewood!!! I tell everyone to try them. People don't know what they are missing, because they are just getting pupusas. Who would think they would have great burritos. So, these are not like any other burritos, because they are not Mexican. They use their delicious black beans, their white rice with a few little veg, sour cream, onions, cilantro, you can get really good chile sauce if you want it spicy. The sauce is so good. No cheese... can you believe it? Cheese is not even needed. You can get chicken or carne asada, or like we got, no meat and they will add avocado slices. I really wanted no meat, and platano frito added. This is what we used to get, and it's great. They should add a no meat option to the menu, and also the platano option. Everyone that loves unique delicious burritos, come check this place out. The guy that took my order was friendly, and even made our burrito half no cilantro. Thanks! They get busy.

I ordered to-go, and I am genuinely surprised that they do not have more condiments available, especially with the salsa as I got 4 pupusas. No wet wipe, which may be asking for a lot, but at least make it up with the paper napkins. I love that it is near base, but u might as well order to eat-in the restaurant. That way u get all that u need. Better inspection on my end could have been done, but just :o at the...stinginess. That sounds like a harsh word, I know, but how else do I describe it...?

This Was NOT IT!! I am usually easy on reviews but, this is the wurst food I have eaten in a long…read morelong time. We order the protein chicken and steak tacos, a burrito, rice, guacamole. When I pulled up I saw the rating for the restaurant was "OKAY" I should have turns around then! Ya'll I was so disappointed with this food. First, the rice tasted like it was old like it was in the freezer and reheated. The guacamole looked old and had no flavor and big chunks of onions. Next, the protein tacos had the best taste but, again had an old taste to it. Lastly, the burrito tasted and I am not exaggerating like some type of cleaner. Whatever, that taste was I couldn't even swallow the bite I took. I am literally sitting here praying that I do not get food poisoning. I don't know if we caught them on an off night. I see all other reviews saying it was great but, for me personally I will never come back here. The staff was friendly and that goes a long way but, I hope they improve their food and receive a better rating one day.

We loved Moctezuma's so much at the South Center location so we decided to try this one since it's…read morecloser to home. They're located in their own private lot. Love the dark aesthetic and chill vibes. Everyone was friendly and food was excellent. My favorite dishes are the rib eye tacos and birria beef tacos. Rib eye steak was tender and had a hint of that char grill flavor. The birria tacos and consomé was also really flavorful. We enjoyed the tequila flaming fajita and the mini flame show as well lol. The chicken and shrimps were good but similar to my experience at the South Center location, the beef was really chewy (like over cooked). I also think they served way more veggies compared to meat proportions for their fajitas. My Dad got the burrito especial with grilled chicken and it was huge! He thought it was alright and got sick of it pretty quick because of how much rice and beans there were. We also ordered the margarita flights which were served in these cute mini glasses. I thought the pineapple coconut had the strongest alcohol taste whereas the passion fruit-guava and pina azul tasted like juice (I'm not a big drinker so I thought it was perfect). The pina azul tasted similar to a flat Baja Blast from Taco Bell with a hint of alcohol. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here. The only negative thing is we made a reservation at 8:00PM and came early at 7:30PM; at check in, they said at first we could get in sooner since we arrived but then quickly was told to actually wait until our reservation time (and that's totally fine and makes sense since we reserved for 8PM!!). I was just confused because the group that were walk-ins waiting got to go in before us. There wasn't anyone else waiting for a table and by the time they sat us, turns out there was plenty of open tables available... I just thought they'd want people to be seated sooner if they've arrived and had tables available since it was already 8PM and they close at 9PM lol.

This is about my fourth visit to this Moctezuma's location, and at this point I'm starting to feel…read morelike I'm in a "maybe this time?" kind of relationship. It started on Cinco de Mayo--drinks that were more "suggestion" than cocktail, food that didn't stand out, service that felt a bit checked out, and music so loud I'm pretty sure I agreed to things I couldn't actually hear. I came back again hoping things would improve, but today felt like déjà vu. I ordered the Sandia, which was okay, and the Enchilada Verde had great flavor--but the corn tortilla was so thick it felt like it was trying to be the main character. Now, to be fair--the salsa, chips, and beans? Absolute stars. Honestly, the most consistent relationship I've had here. And the drink this time was much better, so I know they can get it right. I really want to like this place--I keep giving it chances like it's going to change--but the experience has just been inconsistent. It feels like all the right pieces are there... they just haven't quite agreed to work together yet.

Our server was attentive and kind, and the food was timely and hot! Overall the flavors were not the best thing I've ever had. Overall, it was bland and under-seasoned by quite a bit. The sauces do much of the work here, making the food ok, but not something I'd crave enough to go out of my way for it. We really wanted to love this place, and we will likely come back and try again, because every restaurant has off days and it may have just been the dish I ordered. Looking forward to trying it again soon, but until then, 3 stars for ambiance and service... hope to add more stars the next time we visit!
