I read all these good reviews and expected a nice and cozy place and some good food, so I took my wife and kids there. That was a huge mistake! We all were very disappointed. First, everything is overpriced, especially taking into account small portion size (I felt like I got $30 worth of food for $60 that I paid). Food is bland and it doesnt taste fresh, more like something that was prepared yesterday and microwaved now. The place is small and somewhat dirty and stinking. People (I assume owners) were nice, but its the food that matters, and it was not good at all. Finally, it seems that most if not all of the 5-star reviews here are not honest but were paid for. TL;DR: do not go there!

This is one of my favorite casual Mexican food spots in the city. The food is just incredible. Its everything you want out of Mexican food. Perhaps the best thing about it, is the fresh salsa bar. I could stock up on that stuff for days! I wish they sold some of it in a bottle. I never stay to eat. The establishment is small, so I usually get take away to bring home. But this place still gets five stars because the food is great, no matter where you eat it.

Located in a strip mall along busy road; but upon entering, the cozy colorful interior is immediately welcoming and authentic dive feeling. Yummy homemade salsas at the help-yourself salsa bar has labeled choices from the mild to superhot. They also seem to also be known for their horchata beverage, made with cinnamon and rice/almond milk. Place is nicely family owned, and as Mexican as it gets here in the Northwest.

If you are looking for a Mexican sit down restaurant with wonderful service and awesome food, look no further. They have a salsa bar with many different salsas and pickled veggies. The guacamole was great and the tacos are out of this world (Especially the fish tacos). The Burrito Gigante Verde and the Chimichanga was delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

The building is quite small, but this is somewhat of a non issue if you want to take your food to go. The food is alright, not incredible but definitely not bad. What surprised me was the friendly service and the speed at which i got my food, it was very fast. Will probably visit again. Its a popular spot with local school teachers.

What a pleasant surprise! From the outside youd never guess that this place serves great food. Staff is very friendly. Pleasant decor. Love the fresh salsa bar. I also love the fact that when you order for pick up the receipt isnt printed with a place for a tip... Actually makes me want to tip rather than be guilted into it.

Being from Arizona, good, authentic tasting Mexican is my comfort food. This little hole in the wall has opened the doors and put something quick together for me just past closing time, and their burritos and enchiladas are very well priced, portioned, and satisfying. Staff are very friendly. One of my regular joints.

Here is a hidden treasure on the outskirts of Kenmore. If you like burritos and steak this is a must visit. This little restaurant makes the best steak burito I have had around here. They use marinated skirt steak chopped and tender. The salsa bar is a must see too; great pico.

Very good! Just ate here with my family. Steak Baja combo was VERY good and my wife said her shrimp tacos were amazing. Everything was well seasoned and taste fantastic. Kid liked the kids menu nachos. Highly recommended this place! Fresh salsa bar...what else could I say :)

First time coming here. The interior reminded me of a "Mom and Pop" type restaurant setting. I had the ChimiAcapulco w/ Steak. The food was fantastic. The price was a little on the higher side, but the quality matched. Would definitely come back if Im ever in the area.

This place is so good! You get so much food for the price and its always delicious! It really is fresh, they have their own homemade recipes, and its better every time I come here. Excellent food made and sold by amazing people! I absolutely love it!

Good food. Condiment area can get quite messy and gross and space is way too small. I would go more often but negotiating the small space with family and friends is not a pleasure. For a quick in and out good Mexican experience its great.

You wont find much competition in the area. Went with my mom,we both had the tostada (with the edible shell) and a beer. The guy at the counter kept asking if we wanted 2 but no,just splitting the one. Unless you go to Mexico,this is good.

Been coming here regularly for almost 20 years, and always great. First solid food for both of our boys was pinto beans from Acapulco Fresh, and our oldest will be graduating soon! Great food, great service - easy to recommend.

I love the fish burrito they make! Id like to try something else there eventually but... its just so good. One caveat: Be prepared to get your order to go. The seating area is very, very tiny.

Stopped in for first time late March 2010. Place is definitely a hole in the wall. Food was fresh, tasty, and authentic-seeming. Generous portions. Price was decent. Would eat there again.

High prices, average food, screwed up the order, didnt want to drive back to fix nor did the facility offer any fix outside of charging me for the item they forgot. Would not recommend.

Uninspired and flavorless. Based on the reviews I was expecting authentic Mexican food, but I was disappointed. It was flavorless and reheated garbage. The prices were very high.

Surprisingly good for a "strip mall" restaurant. Nice salsa bar. Friendly. Not upscale or gourmet by any means, but now my fave spot to stop by when I want Mexican.

The best easy Mexican food place in the area. Its been open for at least 10 years now and there is good reason for that... They are delicious and fantastic!

Amazing! Everything here is incredible and the food is truly fresh. The staff is also super friendly and humble. My go-to is the Burrito Grande.

Killer fish burrito. I used to live nearby; now its a frequent stop on Burke Gilman bike rides. Owners are always ready with a smile.

Dont bother. Soggy enchiladas with cubed chicken (instead of shredded) with little sauce. Stale chips. Bland rice and beans.

This is a very reliable place to eat. I eat there every month or two. By far one of the best places to eat in Kenmore.
