Taqueria La Venadita — Restaurant in Issaquah

It’s alright. To start off, the tostada chips needed alot of salt, very bland and stale. The dip that came with it didn’t help much in terms of flavor. I ordered tripita tacos and surprisingly they were not bad. Perfect amount of crunch and softness to the meat. I rated the tacos 9/10. $2.49 is a lot. Usually $1 in Houston but I guess different geographical locations. The enchiladas plate is DRY, chicken had little flavor and rice was not that good. The salsa verde, salads roja were not spicy at all. As if they were washed out with water. I’m not Hispanic and cannot handle spice, even a single hot cheeto but I like somewhat a flavor kick. If I say it’s not spicy, lol, it’s, not, spicy. My wife ordered menudo. She was between pozole and menudo and she was recommended menudo as it’s their best seller. We’ll, it tastes horrible lol. We had low expedition since we’re coming from Houston, as close to Mexico as it gets but these place is an OOOOF. The menudo was washed out with water. Broth lacked flavor once again, even with the lime, peppers and salt, it made no impact since it’s soooo washed out. Another good thing is their soda I guess, they don’t wash their coke out like many places, so it was a good surprise. Friendly services Overall, this place could be better. Needs to step it up to earn the good name of Mexican cuisine. Any genuine Hispanic food lover wouldn’t be rating this higher than a 2/5. I will definitely come back, to see if improvements have been made because I enjoyed their service, their environment and somewhat their food. Just not even close to best. Sub par. Honest hardcore feedback.

Tacos $2.49 Menudo...

I don't understand why this place gets good reviews. If you know what good Mexican food is, it's not here. Ordered a chorizo burrito for my husband and I and we both though it was as quality as taco bell or taco time. If your the type who thinks taco time is better than taco bell, no worries, you could still come here and think it's good. To me neither of those establishments are good. For 2 stars- they have good tamales and were fast with our go-to order. If I ever came back it would be for that and that alone. We've tried enchiladas here too, it's just soaked in a liquid (likely canned) red sauce and cheese, meat wasn't really good either. Gotta get out of Issaquah/Sammamish and head up to Redmond if you want good...

Meat, rice and beans were a little bit salty. They didn’t give us any sauce, lime or jalapeño/toppings vs. if you go in person. We ordered through door dash & can’t add instructions or request. Lame. 2/5

Here I am again, doing my 2nd review & not realizing I had put one already. But nothing has changed! Spent more than $50 & they charged for sauces/condiments, not to mention they had no veggies and stuff on the side/toppings. The asada meat was overcooked, the chicken meat tastes like water with no salt or flavor! The sopes are like the store bought brands in a package that you just fry (rubbery). The beans and salsas (red & green) are definitely the canned enchiladas sauce & refried beans or...
