Whether you’re in the mood for Mexican specialties like chimichangas or delicious Dim Sum, there’s a perfect hole-in-the-wall joint for that in Tacoma. Even hungry customers on Yelp agree with this list.

Don’t judge a restaurant by it’s “cover!”

WHY WE LOVE HOLE IN THE WALL SPOTS TO EAT

• Freshly cooked food that gets served piping hot to your table (or to-go box)
• Typically friendly customer service
• Large portions of food
• The food tastes GOOD

There’s an expression that says, “The food was so good, they put their foot in it!” Whoever came up with that may have had a foot fetish, or they may have just tasted a meal that was hands-down one of the best they’ve tried.
