I've been coming to Tacos El Tule for about 10 years now, and they have never disappointed me…read more The tacos de asada are always on point! Super flavorful and cooked just right every time. And the Tule burrito? Seriously, it's like an explosion of flavors in your mouth. It's packed, satisfying, and definitely worth it for the portion size alone. One thing you absolutely have to try is their chicken tortilla soup. It's loaded with rice, chicken, cheese, and more so comforting and honestly one of the best I've ever had. On top of the amazing food, the customer service has always been great. Friendly, consistent, and welcoming every single visit. If you're in downtown Bellingham, you need to check this place out!

Let me start with.. I love taco and burrito trucks! I go out of my way for it!…read more Tacos el Tule was at Beach Cat - south paw on a Monday. I got 2 Tule Burritos with Asada, a soft taco, and a hard taco. Flavor was decent, but there was hardly any meat. Lots of filler in the burrito, but honestly.. if I wanted a veggie burrito I would have ordered it. Customer service was meh, and they charge a dollar more for using a card vs cash. Plus side.. I was able to get enough salsa for my burrito I will definitely give it another try, and hope for the best the next time around .

Do not think twice about coming here, this place is absolutely delicious! I am soo shocked to see…read moreall the negative reviews! My family and I came here as we've been to their Blaine location a few times and we were excited to try this one closer to home. You order at the counter although they do offer sit down menus you can take to your table and review before proceeding to order at the counter. Once you've placed your order they do take the food to your table. The location is pretty big. This will be a great place to enjoy a delicious meal in the summer out on their patio! The bathrooms were large and very clean. Now the food!! We ordered 4 meals and a few side dishes and we paid less than when we go to other local Mexican restaurants and still ended up taking some of our food to go. The food was flavorsome, fresh, and authentic! The employees were very kind! We can't wait to go back and try all the other dishes on their menu!

Just moved to the Sudden Valley neighborhood. Finally got to try this place! The Chile relleno…read morewas so good - the sauce and the melted cheese were on point. I had a crispy chicken taco and crispy beef taco. I also had the skinny margarita. Service was excellent. We got seated right away and were offered water, chips and salsa immediately. We came over on a 7pm Saturday dinner time. It was a bit busy but we were satisfied with the service. We got to enjoy the golf course view and the sunset.

Food was decent but nothing special. Will be the last time going though because whenever I order…read moreCarne Asada here, they always leave off the mandatory grilled green onion (it's even specified on their menu), and because THIS TIME the service was lousy: (1) the guy seating us (who was also to be the waiter) hassled me for wanting to be seated a couple of tables away from others; (2) not only left off the green onion again but gave me corn tortillas instead of the flour that I ordered; (3) companion ordered prawn quesadilla yet she was served some prawn&veg dish instead. Have come to the conclusion that this place's sole virtue is the location for viewing out the trees. Everything else is sub-standard.

The staff is very friendly and eager to help. The specials are great and the food is spot on as far as price. Lunch is a no brainer. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

What a lovely surprise on a cold night. New to the area, but have lived in NV for 25 yrs and have…read morehung out in Mexico a lot. Finding a place that had great carnitas and chile rellenos was not expected so far north! We tried the pastor tacos and birria burrito as well and everything was really tasty. Portions are a good size. Salsas are good. Owners are generous and kind. I hope the place succeeds.

This is a new Mexican restaurant in the space that was previously Gandolfo's NY Deli. The interior…read morehas been completely redone. As expected, it is clean and immaculate. I visited on a weekday at noon and was the only customer. I was immediately greeted at the counter by a smiling woman. The menu was posted high on the wall and she helped me navigate the choices. I placed my order and chose a table to sit at. My order was delivered quickly, along with two sauces (one green, one red). The food was fresh, but, unfortunately noticeably "average". Nothing bad, but certainly nothing to make my taste buds notice. What I did notice, however, was there were no chips or salsa provided. For the price I paid, I could have gone to a myriad of other Mexican restaurants with table service that provided free chips and salsa. That was a lacking feature that took away from enjoying my Mexican food experience. The people were nice and the place was clean, but I doubt I will return. I wish them well. Adios.

I had kids with me. We were far away from home. They were hungry for Mexican food. We searched…read moreyelp. Why are there so many Mexican restaurants in Bellingham and why do they all say they are the best? Hard to choose. The first place we went had good reviews but they were so trashy and rude and wasn't worth the trouble. The next place we tried was 21 and up but he was so nice to recommend this place. I was worried because it was so close to closing time and we walked from the previous place to avoid parking again. I have some medical issues that made the short walk take me out. We get there with 20 mins left until close. I see a seemingly swamped waitress and look at her apologetically but she welcomed us to sit and put menus in front of us. She hustled around to other tables and took our order quickly. The ambiance is nice. There's a small bar by the register. The food shows up after a brief wait and it looks super appetizing to the eyes. My burrito takes up the entirety of the large oval plate. My kid exclaimed, "that who thing is a burrito?!" He loves enchiladas and it's plated neatly with rice and beans. My daughter ordered carne asada only ever getting it from our favorite hometown restaurant nearly every other Sunday, so they got some high expectations to meet. Her carne asada comes with an enchilada which for us is a fail safe in case the carne asada turns out to be too different from our norm. To her delight, it was incredibly similar to what we would normally get in taste and presentation. There was so much food. Feeling bad for coming late, I tried to eat quickly and asked for boxes. There were two other tables that arrived before us just hanging out talking. I was acutely aware of the time having worked as a waitress several times in the past but she didn't close the doors until close time. After close, a woman arrived at one of the doors and the waitress let her in and fed her. It was so nice to be see and for me, that deserves so much praise and restores faith in humanity especially after being treated like crap at another restaurant we chose not to eat at. I always choose to support places with good people. I go to pay trying to get out of hair. Despite appearing so busy, she was so friendly. I praised the service and food. She walked to our table as we were preparing to leave and she was engaged in conversation with the kids. My daughter was talking about dress shopping for a school dance. We mention how far from home we were and she mindfully pieces together it's a long drive home still, it's a school night, kids and self exhausted. She grabs a bag and gives us to go beverages. Honestly the kindness made me a bit emotional. The restaurant was past business hours and she had just sat someone and had yet to take her order and still made us feel welcome and not rushed. My kids were adamant we had to come back soon. Spend your money here. The food was fantastic. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Plentiful amounts will leave you satisfied both today and tomorrow. You don't have to question the cleanliness of this place like some of the hole in the wall places we've seen. Choose this one!

The service was 3 stars for us--pleasant but absent minded and inconsistent. Ambience was fine--lots of windows and light, clean, and comfy seating. They were out of the beer and wine we wanted, but the house margarita was a good stand in. It was an early dinner on a Friday night. I understand why a few reviewers commented on the noise level. It was fine with only 3 tables full, but it was getting loud as we wrapped up our time and the restaurant started to fill with the dinner crowd. We'll be back for more.

The atmosphere is welcoming and festive. The staff and owner are very friendly. The food is excellent. I recommend the mole, the chile relleno, and the margaritas. They have a few local beers on tap, in addition to the standard Mexican drafts. I had the Freight lager - twice. My wife had an excellent Lynden margarita. The mole sauce is complex, not spicy, and I would definitely order it again. If you live in the area, or are just passing thru, give this place a try. You'll be happy you did.

It's…read morea family joint, the kind of place where the salsa tastes like someone's abuela just walked it out from the kitchen. The food? Flat-out terrific--rich, smoky, unapologetic. The drinks are the same. It's small, always packed, and the hours are more of a suggestion than a promise. That's the charm and the curse. You wait. You squeeze in. You deal with the occasional locked door when the internet swears they're open. And it's worth every bit of it. If you can snag a table, this is the best bite in Lynden--no contest.
