The closest thing you'll get to authentic Mexican food on the island. Love coming here the food is always amazing. Especially the horchata!! My go to place for Mexican food. Also conveniently has a drive through with quick service! read more

For as long as I live I will regret passing this place for 7 years and not stopping. I got 2 pollo tacos and 2 carnitas tacos to go and I am sitting in the parking lot stuffing my face, washing it down with Jamaica tea. Can't wait to come back read more

We come here every time we're on Whidbey Island. The veggie burrito is especially delicious and loaded with pickled jalapeños. The beef cheek and lengua are cooked to perfection, which can be hard to find. The folks who work here are the sweetest, as well! Last but not least, their salsa bar. Oh my god, all of their salsas are so so good. I wish they sold bottles. read more

I was wanting a Mexican pizza, but once I got here I changed my mind and ordered a Torta al Pastor. The sandwich was made with pork, shredded lettuce, onion, tomato, avocado, mayo, and I think I tasted some jalapeño. An employee delivered my torta to my table within a few minutes of my sitting down. I thought it was quite tasty and enjoyed eating it. I washed it down with a fountain drink and relaxed to the sounds of Mexican television. read more

This is our favorite restaurant on the island hands down. We go here for the great caring service and excellent food. We have tried 1/4 of their menu and have not had a bad choice yet. They cook with fresh ingredients with pride in what they cook and it shows. The salsa bar and picked carrots our on point. The dishes are flavorful and authentic. This is a must try. Please support this business. read more

Absolutely delicious Machaca, taquitos and Birria tacos. What a wonderful treat. Our new go to in Oak Harbor! So happy we discovered this place. read more

I don't know why I took so long to try this place - I assumed it would be typical fast food called "mexican". I could not have been more wrong. Today I picked up lunch - two gorditas with carne asada for the meat. It was a LOT of food, plenty of tasty meat, and super fresh lettuce and tomatoes on the side. It was as good as I've eaten in this area, far better than most. Will happily go thru again, as there is a lot on their menu that sounds delicious. read more

The best mexican food in Oak Harbor! The prices are a little bit steep but the portions are large, employees are friendly, and the hot sauces are absolutely perfect! The carne asada tacos and the birria tacos are my go-to items. They load the tacos full of meat, cilantro, and onion, which is exactly how good tacos should be. I'm from San Diego and appreciate the "hole-in-the-wall" Mexican drive thru spots, this one fits that concept perfectly. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect and I wouldn't change a thing. read more

Taquería el Kiosko - The 3 taco combo filled with carne asada that is very flavorful! - Mexican Near Me - Oak Harbor, Washington

This is my favorite restaurant on the island. I regularly make the 45 minute drive to sit down and eat. I have been eating here for years and they are super consistent. The carne asada tacos are to die for and the rice and beans always hit the spot. Horchata is top notch. Unbeatable hours and the number of items on the menu is staggering. The staff is friendly and professional. Food comes out fast. The prices may have changed over the years, but the portions and quality have not. I would highly recommend coming here if you haven't already. It has replaced fast food for me entirely. read more

Tacos were really good and service was awesome and fast! Found this place on Yelp when I came into town and glad I tried it out!

The flautas we hot and crispy. The chicken was moist, full of flavor and hiding und FRESH veggies. Lettuce was crisp, tomatoes were diced and delicious. I always. Mix my rice into the beans but both were mmmm. The plate was $13.99. We ate inside. It was clean, bright and the drive thru was not stop. I'll definitely will eat there again. read more

Taquería el Kiosko - Chicken flautas. - Mexican Near Me - Oak Harbor, Washington

First off, let me say that I'm only giving it a four because I only ate ONE thing here and it wasn't very complex. However, that one dish gets a FIVE star rating, because, as simple as it was, it was outrageous. What did I have? A Quesadilla. Hubby and I left in the very early morning to start our trip toward Mt. Baker for a ski trip, and by the time we hit Oak Harbor, the piece of "road toast" we had on the drive had run out. I wanted to find something that was still kinda breakfasty, but since we were meeting up with someone for lunch I didn't want to overdo it. Right there, by the Safeway Gas, was the Taqueria. A shining beacon of warm food, just mere steps away. So, I ordered from the super-friendly staff behind the counter. They asked me what kind of meat I wanted, but since it was supposed to be breakfast, I went "queso only." This was a lovely portion of tortilla and cheese, crispy edges on the tortilla, warm gooey cheese in the center and...oh, the salsas! The salsas! I know it sounds campy, but you couldn't MAKE a better Cheese Quesadilla. It filled the whole in our bellies, cheered us immensely and made me VOW that the next time I'm in Oak Harbor, I'm coming back to try more. I even grabbed a menu that lives in my day planner as a reminder. My only quandary: what do I order next time? read more

Our first meal in our new home. Authentic Mexican, so tasty. We got Chile rellenos and chicken taquito plates. Ample sides (rice and refried beans), as well as guac and sour cream. Our food was ready quickly, and wrapped safely to go. Salsas are also amazing! They even have a drive thru if you don't feel like going inside to order. Fountain sodas as well as glass bottle soda (jarritos) as well as agua frescas. We will be back to try more menu items! read more

I specifically stated 3 times i did not want sour cream. I was assured the burrito did not come with sour cream. I drive 5 miles home and take a bite. It is loaded with sour cream. Unacceptable for a $15 lunch. read more

One of my favorite places to go it's got great street tacos good rice and beans. They make their own Horchata. It's super good. They also make homemade flan. And all of your dishes and I've tried so far are absolutely delicious. read more

The enchiladas were good. Definitely my favorite in Oak Harbor! Highly recommend checking them out.

Absolutely delicious and wonderful value. Highly recommend! Got the carne asada and breakfast burritos and will definitely go back. The salsa verde is so good. read more

First time to this restaurant, ordered #47 Camarones a la Crema, the shrimp was fresh small salad under the tomatoes with ranch dressing, couldn't tell you if the rice had any flavor because I ate with with the crema. I'd order it again. Forgot to take photo. read more

Busy and casual mexican fast food joint, no frills and feels very down to earth. The front counter lady was super efficient in juggling drive-thru orders, front counter orders, serving food, packing take-outs, and shouting orders into the back - all while being very nice and friendly! I would have failed miserably at her job for sure. The basic burrito was tasty and came out within just a couple of minutes, and churros was fresh and crunchy (we could use without the sauce though). read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Oak Harbor. I've ordered many different menu meals and I haven't been disappointed with any. I prefer their carnita's (pork), but I also like their birria (stewed beef), I don't really like their adobada (spicy pork), the carne asada (steak beef) is ok. Their chilaquiles is great, so are their tacos, both soft and crispy. The staff has always been friendly, service is quick. Occasionally I get some fat chunks, but that wouldn't effect my rating, pork is fatty, it happens. read more

Ordered some tacos Al pastor and carne asada nachos. The al pastor meat was well seasoned but dry. However the rice and beans were the bomb. The nachos had all the toppings, but again the meat was a little dry. The salsa bar was great and their menu is very well rounded. The prices are pretty standard for the area. Service was good and the food came out quickly. read more

The breakfast burrito is MASSIVE, yet cost barely over $10. Best value in town, maybe the county, maybe in WA, and holds up on taste to anything around. read more

Chile Relleno on point! Crispy, hot cheese, great sauce. The rice and beans are great plus a small salad and sour cream? Yeah and corn tortillas. Best relleno in Oak Harbor from what I've had! read more

This is in the old Donut Master location. We went yesterday and tried a couple of our favorites--a carne asada torta and tacos. All were amazing. Returned this morning to try breakfast burritos as all the others we'd tried in town so far have been too Americanized--not enough flavor. We got one ham and one chorizo breakfast burrito and they were EXACTLY what we'd been missing. The price felt a little high (about $9 each) but when we got them they were a full dinner burrito size and well worth every penny. Recommend adding the green salsa they provide you. We still haven't tried our typical measures of a carne asada burrito and the rice and beans, but we'll be back again soon. Aside: As they get the place up and running again the HVAC has been giving them problems, so be prepared for cold if you eat-in, but know they're actively working on it! UPDATE: We've been back a couple of times. Tried the breakfast burritos, both ham and chorizo and they're both amazing! Highly recommended and it's a full, dinner-sized burrito so come with an appetite or be prepared to share. Last night we went back and used the drive thru to pick up a flautas dinner and a California burrito. The flautas were perfect! They added nice touches like shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese crumbles. The rice and beans are probably the most disappoiinting offering I've had at El Kiosko. Will avoid "meals" and stick with entrees and sides. The California burrito is the absolute best thing I've tasted from their menu. Highly recommended. 11/10. We're definitely regulars at this point. read more

My friend and I are doing work on Whidbey from Port Townsend. We look forward to having lunch here once a week. We always try a new item on their extensive menu and haven't had a miss yet. Cashiers are always friendly and helpful. Not a full service joint, but they bring food to your table, but you should bus yourself. read more

Decided to try this place out... The agua de jamaica was great. I had a taco de lengua, carne asada taco, grilled chicken plate and we also ordered a taco salad. I'll only come back for their tacos and Jamaica drink because the rest of our food was super bland read more

We have some excellent spots in town for Mexican food but find ourselves going back to El Kiosko over everywhere else. During most storms, they're still open while other locations are closed as a bonus. The ingredients are always fresh, consistent plates, and you can get baked goods and desserts that you cannot find elsewhere on the Island (i think.) read more

5 Stars is rare for me but I wanted to help give this restaurant the review it deserves. If you're from California, this is the type of Mexican food we want, fast and authentic. So far I've had lengua (beef tongue), tripas (intestines), and al pastor (grilled pork) which were all SPOT ON. The salsas are good, and the side of rice and beans are always flavorful. Lastly, who doesn't like a drive thru! So sad to see this place only have 3 stars, because this is one of the best Mexican places in Oak Harbor. read more

Asada fries needed to be crispy and they were flavorless Street tacos sadly flavorless Enchilada tasted like canned ravioli So sad by this. You can do better. read more

Solid, solid Mexican food! That's coming from a San Diego native. We have heard great things and have wanted to stop in for weeks, finally got that chance late one weeknight after a work function with dismal food. The plates were nicely packaged to-go, with everything we needed including red and green salsas. The customer service was so friendly, and we were so thrilled to have the option of the drive thru!! Our food was very good. Rolled tacos with shredded beef, rice, beans, and alllll the toppings. We also tried Chile relleno and horchata. The food would most likely have been better eaten on site, since it did lose a bit of crispness on the ride home. Also, the horchata was definitely homemade, but we found it a little too thick and gritty. Will definitely come back soon for another try. read more

So, smack in the middle of Covid-19 these crazy people open a restaurant, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? It's a Mexican & as far as I am concerned there can NEVER be enough of those but how will they stay in business when everything is closed or greatly restricted. Well, they make it through to 2021 and I am all alone at home one day and decide to go out and treat myself to something special, I remember Taqueria el Kiosko that had opened months earlier in our old KFC building & decide to give it a go. O.M.G. Am I glad I did! I ordered the Carnitas plate ($12.59 at the time), using drive through and drove home, upon opening the to-go container my eyes goggled at the amount of meat in the dish. I worked that pile for 20 minutes or so when I decided I had better give the rest to my son or explode, the beans, rice and meat were so good I almost decided on the "explode" option. My son was also very impressed with the taste even though it was no longer as hot as when I had started. A few weeks later Dine in was reopened and I decide to take my Mom, daughter & Son-in-Law to Kiosko, when we walk up to the order/pay counter we were amazed at the quantity of items on the menu as KFC buildings are not all that large. Over 60 plate choices Beef, pork, shrimp, chicken plus a good selection of beverages. After ordering at the counter go grab a table while you drool and wait for the food which is prepared and delivered in short order. Be prepared for plastic utensils (I'm taking my own next time), I'm not sure if this is a Covid thing or permanent & I don't care all that much but I know some people may. Go there, enjoy there.

Taquería el Kiosko - Complete Menu 05/2021 - Mexican Near Me - Oak Harbor, Washington

Food was great, with gracious service. We had to ask for something special and they were kind about it. Definitely would go back. Authentic.

So I'm going all out with five stars today. With our challenges, I was happy to see the drive through available after doing a quick shop at Haggen. I ordered my standard, a burrito with lengua. I figured I could take home and warm it up. So with all the food videos I've watched, I realized I have never had an authentic sopa. I saw them in the menu (with chorizo as an option) and decided to try that also. Drove home and I'm enjoying these delicious amazing new treats. I especially want to appreciate the service I received. Conscious of her cleanliness responsibility, friendly and seemed truly engaged. Nicely done! read more

The food was pretty good. We have gone 3 times and each time my husvand has raved about his Cali burrito. I tried different things each time and all have been good but not as good as some of the other places in town. We do love that there is a drive through and cheap kids menu though That is why we keep going back It is a little weird that chips come with beans and not salsa I have never heard of that before read more

So last night, my wife and I were about to walk into Haggen to pick up an easy meal and saw that Taquería opened up. We figured we should try it out so we she got a burrito and I got the burrito plate. They also have a giant bowl of horchata, so I obviously had to get that too. How was our meal last night? We went back again tonight. This time I had the enchilada plate, and that too was delicious. The food is great, staff is friendly and helpful, and they did a nice job converting it from what it used to be. They also have a convenient drive through as well. I don't know if we'll go back for a third night in a row, but we'll definitely be coming back in the future. Also, the horchata was great! read more

I'm gonna keep this short but sweet. This is such a great Mexican spot for the island. Their salsa is actually spicy. My husband loves their carne asada burrito and I love rolled tacos, so I get their flautas. read more

Not a bad place. The veggie burrito isn't greasy and doesn't make you feel like crap afterwards. HUGE burrito hopefully one day they'll have vegan sour cream to make it extra yummy. read more

Great tacos and churros! Can't wait to go back to try the tamales!!!! Nachos were good, just not enough cheese to hold them together.

Got lunch earlier today as a pick up and saved me leftovers for my better half...just to have him pull a huge knuckle out of a quesadilla. Like, really!? In shredded beef!? Thank God he didn't break his teeth. Yall need to be more attentive to the food you are serving. read more
