    Yeah, I don't think so. Two tiny tacos and a giant portion of beans and rice. We're already on Friday Harbor so people know it's gonna be expensive regardless. You might as well charge me more and give me a plate that's actually satisfying. I didn't even like the tacos that much. So much cabbage, it's like a cabbage taco that happens to have a little bit of fish in it. And the fish itself is like half breading. And that fish is dry and the breading was inconsistent. I started drizzling Tapatio over everything. Nice rice, what brand of box was it? I agree with the other reviews that question how this can have a near five star average. Maybe some of their other meats are better, but this fish taco is not it. I haven't been to Friday Harbor in forever. If this is considered one of the better restaurants nowadays then it's not worth the ferry ride.

    First of all the food was amazing, I had a smoked jalapeño popper hash with eggs over easy. It was really flavorful and I had the biscuit which could have been the best I have ever had, super soft and lightly grilled. The smoked poppers and bacon was really great. My wife had the traditional eggs Benedict which she really enjoyed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside with a nice view of the harbor over the ferry line.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great and we were checked in with several times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is a bit funky but works for a casual meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can only imagine how good their tacos are....looking forward to finding out!

    Visited Tina's this Friday on a day jaunt to Friday Harbor. The place is quite small but the tables are a good size and comfortable. The restaurant is clean, bright and inviting and has a nice vibe. The server was alone and busy but still greeted us, brought us a complimentary chips & salsa before our order. There are the usual drinks and beer, which some folks were enjoying on the outside patio. I had the sweet potato burrito which was MASSIVE, flavorful and so filling. My partner had the chimichanga which he devoured no problem (though he did start to slow down at the end). Prices are reasonable for the area, each entrée was in the $12+ neighborhood, which is a great deal for quality, volume and flavor. Every visit to Friday Harbor will find us in this sweet little joint.

    Aloha, when at Friday Harbor and looking for a big breakfast, Tina's Tacos is the place. Located on a side street a great find. Super generous portions at reasonable price. And after seeing the lunches on the next table, I'll be back for lunch too. Enjoy

    Way more than tacos. Their breakfast is excellent! I tried different dishes, and all were amazing. I tried 7 restaurants over a 4 day period and this was the best.

    The portions here are incredible! I tried the breakfast burrito and the rustic benny. The breakfast burrito would definitely feed two people. It's the size of a newborn baby and came with a side of sour cream. I opted to make it spicy with hot sauce and jalapenos inside. The rustic benny really is just like biscuits and gravy with bacon on it. A perfect place to stop for brunch before your San Juan Island adventure.

    This place is good. I'm from Southern California so I'm kind of a Mexican food snob. You're not gonna find anything like Southern California Mexican food around here. It's just not comparable. But it is good. I'm giving this place five stars because it was done fast and the guys working there were cool. Good customer service I will be back. Don't come to this place with super high expectations. We are in the Pacific Northwest after all. Not exactly known for our Mexican food up here. But it's decent. Give it a try.

    Very tasty! Ordered the "wet" junior burrito. My wife ordered the street tacos. Both were tasty. The backyard picnic tables were fun.

In my defense, the iPad is over to the right and not at the main counter. I placed my order pretty easily on the iPad. It was easy to remove or add ingredients and was clear what was gluten free. I always think it's interesting when places try to do an auto-20% tip when you order via machine and then pick up the order from the counter. The iPad said I would get a text when my food was ready, so I wandered off. I came back, no text, and my food was ready. So definitely hang close because it is more likely that they will set your food on the counter. It looks like it is designed for all food to be served as takeout, but they do have tables where you can enjoy your food from the takeout containers. We took ours on the road. The tofu topping was well seasoned and delightful. My boyfriend liked his chicken burrito. We would be back for a quick bite, but aren't necessarily craving more.

    This place is a charming cafe located in Friday Harbor…read more The food and drinks here were absolutely spectacular. We ordered a few lattes made with their in-house syrups, and every single one of them was incredible. We loved them so much we went back for them again and again over the weekend we were there. We also tried their chorizo burrito and donuts, which were both outstanding. I honestly want to go back to the island just to eat here again! The ambiance of the place is awesome. It is super kid-friendly outside, featuring a wonderful yard with plenty of toys and things to do, which makes it incredibly relaxing for families. To top it all off, the staff was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visits. I highly, highly recommend checking out Medio Cafe if you are anywhere near the San Juan Islands. It was so good, and it's an absolute must-visit spot that we will definitely keep coming back to!

They accidentally put the hashbrowns within the sandwich. Instantly, one of the staff members tried to rectify it and give me extra hashbrowns no charge. I absolutely appreciate that, and declined as it wasn't a huge deal. The sandwich was delicious! I enjoyed my lavender matcha (albeit I think next time I'll make it a little sweeter). The restaurant is walkable from Friday Harbor. We went straight there right after we got off the ferry. There's also a cute little patio to sit on. What a great time!

After noticing that two couples who arrived after us had already been seated, I went back inside to ask about our table. The staff seemed a little irritated by the question, which wasn't a great start to the experience. The waitstaff was very attentive and friendly throughout our meal, which I appreciated. However, it took quite a while for our food to arrive, and when it did, it wasn't very hot. I ordered my eggs over medium, but they came out overdone. From what I observed, the kitchen and counter staff seemed somewhat disorganized, which may have contributed to the long wait and cold food. I've heard mixed reviews about this place, and based on my visit, it seems like your experience may depend on the day. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. There are definitely some positives, especially with the waitstaff, but overall the experience fell short of expectations.

My husband an I came in and were greated ASAP, the menu had nothing that looked bad. So I had my husband pick something sizzling for me. Since I couldn't decide. Best choice ever! The food was flavorful and tender. The whole meal was simple and comforting, both in the best way possible. For the price you definitely got a good quality of food. My husband left full and I even had enough for a small left over. I highly recommend this for someone wanting a good and filling menu, with speedy and kind service. Also, I know it sounds goofy but I was sold after my first bite of salsa! This is by far the best salsa I have had in 20 years. Only comparing to a friends mother's homegrown, home made, salsa, from her familie's recipe from Puerto Rico. I loved it so much I had to get a container to go. Far warning, there is a spicy and mid salsa. I was offered a dipping bowl of mid, but was loving the spicy one so much that I ended up declining. And getting the biggest To-go salsa there.

The other thing that I really appreciate is the cleanliness of this place. I will definitely be back.
