Taqueria la Bendicion — Restaurant in Olympia

I was super excited when this place opened up in the neighborhood, and I wish I could give it a 5 star review to maybe help them drum up business, but I just can't.

The folks that work there are amazing and friendly so 5 stars for service and atmosphere. And there's some picnic tables to eat at in a quite neighborhood. The experience is great.

We ate our first meal at a picnic table in the little park behind the truck, which was sweet and neighborly feeling on a sunny summer evening. The second meal I carried home, where I discovered that a California burrito has French fries in it. Who knew? (Everyone but me, apparently.) It was too big to finish, so I put the last few bites in the kitchen trash -- only to fish it out a few hours later for a late-night snack....

Don’t sleep on the nachos! They were just what I wanted. No fake nacho cheese, just delicious melted white cheese. Thick, crunchy chips and delicious sour cream, guacamole, meats, and pico. Prob best nachos I’ve had in a while and I’m picky. This will definitely be a regular spot for us. Great service and price point for...
