Was in town for work and my coworker took me here and boy, was I a happy kid. That mole taco was work everything. It was so flavorful and tender. The bowl? Veggies were fresh and crisp and the meat, beans, and rice. Amazing. The place was clean and the service was quick. The only downfall, it's 5+ hours away! read more

My favorite tortillas and guac in town! This place is packed almost every night and rightfully so. This is not a sit down and order restaurant and instead you order at the counter and the food is brought to you. A great quick and casual option! They also have fantastic cocktails! Parking can be troublesome, especially with a larger or longer vehicle but that is the only downside of an otherwise great place. Did you know they also serve breakfast and it's DELICIOUS?! read more

These were really good tacos! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is spacious and colorful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered at the counter and our food came out fast. The fish tacos were light and all the toppings were fresh and tasty. The salsas added a nice little punch. The tortillas are worth grabbing a bag to bring home! Good service, good tacos! read more

Good option for Mexican food! A little spendy, but the meats have been flavorful and satisfying. Eat in of get it to go, plus you believe they do door dash as well. The service is pretty quick overall and the staff have been polite and friendly. read more

Many veggie options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfortable outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Some of the best guacamole I've ever had (and I've eaten a lot of guac!) There is not usually a long wait for your order, even when they're busy. Prices are reasonable. You won't be disappointed in this ma and pa establishment. read more

So glad we wandered upon this Mexican oasis! It's an order at the counter then they deliver to your table type of setting. Very clean inside, the staff was constantly cleaning. It was beautiful and colorful inside. Plenty of seating! The staff is amazing! So friendly, and very helpful if you want food recommendations. We ordered fresh made guacamole and chips, battered fish tacos, fresh rolled chicken taquitos, and bean/cheese tacos. Tortillas are fresh and homemade. The chips were delicious light and crispy with the perfect touch of salt, so good you didn't even need to dip them in anything. Guacamole was out of this world The food presentation is amazing. I used to live in Mexico and this brought back memories of amazing authentic food you could only find in Mexico. The horchata is made in house and we loved it! When they serve the food they also bring 3 HUGE bottles of green salsa, red salsa, and avocado salsa to smother your food in! The food doesn't need it but still just another amazing service they provide. Walla Walla has so many amazing restaurants and this one is right up there. Go to this place! You won't regret it! We will return because there were so many other menu items we want to try! Definitely happy when we left! read more

Great experience @ The Happy Wanderer in College Place/Walla Walla, WA.!! 1st time patron to the establishment and I was blown away by their great decor and friendly service!! Kyle was well versed in their menu and didn't skip a beat when describing all the tasty options. You can see what I ended up ordering and everything was delicious indeed. The restaurant itself was immaculate. They could not have done a better job at their presentation and layout. My order was hot, fresh, and ready in less than 10 minutes. I definitely plan on coming back with lots of friends while we're in town! read more

The Happy Wanderer - My taco trio - Mexican Near Me - College Place, Washington

Great freshly prepared food. Very good value for the money. Courteous and responsive staff.

SO MUCH YUM. I have been here several times and I have YET to find something that I do not like. Their tortillas and chips are made fresh in house. Their tortillas (used in all of their tacos, enchiladas, chips, etc) is amazing! If you're a taco person, they have a wide range of tacos. Their carne asada tacos are always good if you eat meat. If you're into enchiladas, I definitely recommend getting an enchilada plate with steak enchiladas--it comes with rice and beans. If you want a bowl, it's pretty much like a salad from Chipotle--comes with your choice of meat (or veggie option), rice, beans, and lettuce. For vegetarians, they have SEVERAL options for you. For tacos alone, they have like 7 different taco options for you. Their fruit drinks are also delicious! While the tacos are always good here, My favorite order so far has been the enchilada plate which comes with 2 enchiladas, beans and rice. The sauce they use for their enchiladas is AMAZING. I also love the look and vibe of the place. It isn't too dressed up to look like a fancy restaurant. It looks simple and authentic, just like something I would find if I went to Mexico. They also have outdoor seating with umbrellas which is nice! Overall, give this place a try. You will love it! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had an excellent breakfast in this charming restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. My wife had the egg, chorizo and potatoes. I had the breakfast burrito. My wife thought the potatoes were some of the best she's ever had. The homemade tortillas were excellent. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

First thoughts were this is a chill spot. It was empty when I came for lunch. Loved the variety of options on the menu. Not so many but enough to know it's made fresh. Nothing like a spot with 100 things on the menu and most of not freshly made so I loved their menu. Service guy was polite and efficient. Offered options for drinks and food. + Place was clean Wall decor is vibrant and welcoming Food! I was told to order their mulitas or bowls but bring a chef I had to start with the basic order at a Mexican place. Tacos Salsas we're good. They offer red verde and aguacate salsa. Tacos we're good Tortillas .. a place like this I did think they were gone come out homemade but it's ok. I'll be back to try more things. Good spot to have lunch read more

This restaurant is pretty good and super affordable! The menu has a good variety of dishes (i.e., tacos, burritos, tortas, and more) and alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks. We got takeout and it took a little longer than expected, but the food was still warm and tasty. I got the quesadilla gigante with carne asada, and it was really good with the crema and cotija cheese toppings. The califas torta was also tasty, and the portion size is huge. The staff were friendly and gave extra to go salsas when I asked, and there's also a good outdoor and indoor seating area if you want to dine in. read more
