Best Mexican Restaurants in Yakima — Riggs’ Top Five

I love this place for several reasons. Burritos as large as your arm, the tacos are legit and the salsa is made fresh in-house. I love their tamales, too. Often I'll order a dozen with my order so I can take them home and have homemade tamales whenever I need.

This is one that took me a while to finally visit after numerous requests from others to check it out and, after I did, I had to wonder what took me to long. Fast service, great food -- completely awesome experience.

Many people who have been here say they have the best tamales in the world, and I might have to agree. Though it doesn't look like much from the outside, just a concrete little building on South First Street (very south) but they do have, quite possibly, the best tamales you'll ever have in your life. All local ingredients and made fresh.

The first time I stepped foot inside this place, I was amazed at the awesome-looking menu. It was all animated, I've never seen that before. They have a huge menu from traditional favorites like menudo and even have churros. The prices are great, too.

From what I understand, the name comes from a specific place in Mexico known for their mole. That's good news for me because I can't get enough of it! They also have awesome drinks. Don't bother trying to pronounce the name and don't worry if you can't, just make your way over sometime and check it out.
