Jane ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My fav mexican restaurant in all of Olympia. I have been to both their Lacey and Olympia locations and the food is amazing always. The minute you walk in the aromas fill you in and make u more hungry. I typically order their Three Amigos, street tacos and love it all. Their three amigos is beyond amazing - full of flavors. This time we also ordered their special for the day - quesa birria and boy I wish it finds a permanent spot on the menu. It was amazing. The consome was bursting with flavors and it was one of the best I have had here in WA. Their chips and house salsa (has a kick) are delicious too. We had their regular flan and it is anything but regular. Great flavors just how I like my flan to be.
Quick service at this location, friendly happy staff serving happy customers getting fresh mexican food from the kitchen. I have tried drinks at their other location and its nice. The ambience is better at the Olympia location as compared to Lacey but honestly I care about food and less wait time. All in all I prefer the Lacey location cos its less busy on weekdays but both locations are great and food is consistent too. Ample parking. Highly recommend this spot. I always visit them every time I am in town.

Erika ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We always head straight to the round table with the fire! The atmosphere is inviting and love chatting with people around the fire. The food is great, I recommend the stuffed jalapenos. Chips and salsa and beans, yum! What I TRULY go there for is the coconut margarita!! THIS IS TO DIE FOR! Smooth and creamy with a coconut and sweet rim, OOoOO! I appreciate the service as well, they are quick to assist.
