Taqueria El Antojo Tacoma Mall Blvd — Restaurant in Tacoma

Really awesome staff and delicious food! Every time we've come they've been really sweet and the food has always been great! The place is clean and spacious with plenty of room for large parties.

The Staff: Always welcoming. We've gone a couple times, once including the Grand opening. Although busy, the staff was constantly checking to see that the experience went well. Super helpful and sweet, the staff checks to make sure you're enjoying the food, which for a fast food place, really is such a nice change. They're super helpful and excited for you to try their food. The people alone are a treat.

The Food: Quesabirria is always good, but my new favorite is the Tacos Al Pstor combo plate. Super juicy with a bit of spice tamed by the pineapple. Worth it! The flautas are also a hit. Whatever you get is going to be good, we've had everything from Flan to Carne asada Fries and we've been pleased. The pescado mojarra is really good for anyone into a little adventure! The Gorditas Asada are SUPER good. The asada is very juicy and delicious. Put Guac on the side and you're set.

The Restaurant: Super easy parking and the inside is clean and spacious. It's SUPER clean and has a really nice atmosphere. The...

If you’re craving authentic tacos, El Antojo is a must-visit spot. From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for an excellent meal.

The tacos are the star of the show—freshly made tortillas filled with perfectly seasoned meats, vibrant salsas, and crisp toppings that balance every bite. The al pastor, with its smoky sweetness, is especially outstanding, while the carne asada packs bold flavor and tenderness. Vegetarian options are just as satisfying, proving they take care with every dish they serve.

What makes El Antojo stand out is the attention to detail. The ingredients taste fresh and high quality, the portions are generous without being overwhelming, and the presentation shows pride in their craft. Pairing tacos with their house-made aguas frescas is highly recommended—refreshing, light, and the perfect complement.

The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick, which makes the dining experience smooth and enjoyable whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with friends.

Overall, El Antojo delivers exactly what its name promises: a spot that satisfies your cravings with authentic, flavorful, and...

This mexican food restaurant that has a lot of different dishes that taste like they do in Mexico (not tex mex). I ordered the 3 tacos al pastor (which were on sale). The size is like the way they come in Mexico. More on the small size (compared to what a lot of establishments do in the USA) but with very generous amount of meat (including onions and pineapple, which I was really happy to taste) with 2 tortillas each one. I split them in 2 tacos each (they were that generous) and each one was still of a good size. They also came with a grilled onion and chile (asados). I also got a quesi-trompo, which is a big tortilla (handmade which was delicious) filled with cheese and pastor meat. They have a bar where you can get 5 different types of salsas, including pickled spicy carrots and chiles (really good). To drink I got Horchata water which I loved. My friend got the Jamaica one but that one was not that good. More sour than anything, but later she got the tamarind one and that one was good. In summary this is a good place to go specially for a late dinner (some days they even close up to 3 am, though others just...
