A definite 5 star for South Whidbey. Very good tacos and sides. We have been coming here for a…read morelong time and it is consistently good. The Deluxe and Traditional options for tacos create good options for different appetites. It can be crowded and they can at times "sell out" of capacity for takeout so plan ahead if it is tourist season on the island. But always stop by, we need more places like this in South Whidbey.

Service was great. Friendly staff. Parking lot and lots of seating inside…read more Got the carnitas burrito, kids bean and cheese burrito and a side of rice. Everything lacked flavor. The side of rice tasted like white rice. The flour tortillas was extremely chewy. Even the sides of hot sauces lacked flavor. But it was open past 6:30 and prices are decent

It's not quite a 4 star place but it tries to be.... Their lunch prices and choices are unheard of! So I ordered the pork chimichanga. Many other options and price points but try to find such a big lunch with decent to good quality for $10? There were a few older single fellows that came in too for a beer and a lunch combo around us too. My wife ordered the shrimp fajitas and liked them though done a little differently. Generous portions of beans and rice and the give you bean dip with the salsa and chips immediately upon seating. We dined in the mostly empty fining room. Service was pretty good although the staff tends to hang in the kitchen and chat. My wife really did enjoy her blackberry Marguerita that I suggested to her from other reviews. I was never too excited about trying this local place in an old strip mall but glad we did. I'd eat here again and try the menu out. This was a very good value for Whidbey island or anywhere for a pretty good food and drink experience.

This was our first time here and we were excited to find a Mexican place on this side of town. The…read morechips were nice and warm and the salsa and beans were very tasty. I loved my blackberry margarita but a little bummed there was no salt on the rim so next time I'll ask if they can add that. The bacon wrapped shrimp I ordered was incredibly delicious and I layered it on a tortilla with beans, grilled veggies, sour cream, and pico and it was amazing! I also enjoyed the beans and rice on the side and thought my meal was delicious. My man ordered a carne asada burrito and we thought the meat was delicious however the burrito wasn't our favorite so next time we will try something else for him. The service was great and all the ladies were informative, nice, and attentive. The ambiance and atmosphere was nice too and it had an authentic vibe. I can't wait to try other items here when we go back again!!

We were visiting nearby for the week and wanted to branch out from the resort restaurant where we…read morewere staying. One of the front desk staff recommended El Molcajete Mexican Grill, about a 5 minute easy drive away. Parking is right out front and there is plenty of it. Handicapped too, with no stairs or steps to get in or out. Nice, clean, welcoming and I LOVED the carved Mexican diningroom chairs with the hand painted agave plants. The artwork on the walls was mighty impressive too. Very pleasant. It was not crowded the night we went and it felt like a local, "regulars" crowd. Older, with lots of experience with the giant Margaritas served. I think there was at least one at every table. Husband tried the CAMARONES A LA DIABLA ($23): grilled shrimp with hot red sauce. Served with lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, rice, beans, avocado slices and tortillas. It was HUGE. The plate it was served on reminded me of the turn-table plate from a microwave oven! I tried the TACOS DE CAMARON ($23): grilled shrimp folded in three corn tortillas drenched with red sauce. Served with lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, rice, beans and avocado slices. I actually would have just ordered the regular street tacos if I had known mine was going to be drenched in red sauce. Both meals were tasty but neither of us could finish the huge portions. Staff is friendly & efficient. Food arrived very quickly too. There are two TVs on the wall, both tuned to some sporting event. I believe the sound was off as I also heard Mexican music quietly playing in the background. Nice place if this is your vibe for Mexican food (aka Tex-Mex). You won't leave hungry or unhappy, especially if you have a giant Margarita!

This place has the #1 Yelp rating in the area, so we'd been wanting to try it for a while and…read morefinally drove out from Poulsbo. The restaurant didn't live up to the hype. It was clean, but it feels like sitting in a fishbowl. Service was fast, and the margaritas were huge and very strong, which almost felt like a strategy to help you enjoy the experience more. Unfortunately, the food didn't deliver. The salsa was very bland with no kick, and the chips were barely better than bagged. One bite of the enchiladas made it seem the sauce was from a can. While the ingredients were all fresh and everything was plated and prepared nicely, it all lacked flavor. The fajitas were the same, very sweet, lacking flavor and underwhelming. Almost tasted like teriyaki sauce. It's disappointing to go out and get a meal that's worse than something you could quickly make at home. If you're coming from Poulsbo, Los Cazadores, or El Huarache are much better options.

Great location to stop for a quick bite if you are traveling on Whidbey and need to grab a meal…read more The menu is simple with a few burgers on the menu containing brioche breads and fried meats.

Cool spot with outdoor dining area; service was good and the food was great. What we got: Camarones a la oaxaquena (4.5/5) I love camarones a la diabla; but this is what they have on the menu; did not dissapoint! Really good flavors. Carne a la mexicana (4/5) Really well seasoned flank steak and lots of flavor Tamale de amarillo (4/5) The tamales wrapped in the banana leaves was so good; the banana leaves gives it such a nice taste compared to the traditional tamales w/ corn husk. The margaritas was goid as well. Overall We will be back for sure!! Good food, good service, plus the outdoor dinning area so we can bring out pup; heck yea. Recommend it if you're in the area.
