The New Mexicans - Everett (WA)

5 /5 Machal Salazar: It was my first visit here. We came in to order to go as it was 17 minutes untiI close. We were immediately greeted and seated after I explained we wanted to take our food to not keep them late. Here is where I met Evie. She told us to sit down and not worry about the time. We had amazing conversation, she made incredible drinks and made me and my husband feel like family. The food would have been the best part of the night had she not made me feel like family. I could not recommend this restaurant more. The atmosphere 10/10. The drinks 10/10. The incredible service by Evie. 20/10.

1 /5 Chloe Williams: This is the worst food Ive ever eaten, and it was EXPENSIVE. I took my cousins after church cause she was craving Mexican food. It was about 1pm on a Sunday, nobody was in there. They ordered nachos and I got enchiladas. It was so bad we took a couple of bites and called it. The beans were bland, there was a massive pile of lettuce on my plate, the meat have zero flavor. Just the whole thing was disgusting. The waitress asked if I wanted something else but I was over it, she gave us a couple of cinnamon rolls which was nice.

5 /5 Brittian Biunno: If you’re looking for a good cinnamon roll, this is the place. It’s not the only good thing they serve by all means but if you wan-na Big I mean big ole cinnamon roll that takes up almost all of the plate. Here it is! It’s in house, made in their ovens with their own hands and you can tell by how good they are. Be like me and take one to-go too!

2 /5 Miguel Romero: We’ve been to The New Mexicans three times since April, and our experiences have been a mixed bag. Our first visit was excellent—great service, great vibe, and food that actually reminded us of home in New Mexico. That first impression had us excited to come back. Unfortunately, the last two visits have fallen short. Service has slowed noticeably. On both recent trips, it took forever just to get our drink orders taken, and when drinks finally arrived, they came out alongside our food. That might be forgivable if the food delivered, but sadly, it hasn’t. The biggest letdown has been the flavor—or rather, the lack of it. The beans, pulled pork, and even the burger all tasted bland, with nothing standing out until I added green chile to bring some life to the dish. For a restaurant carrying the name The New Mexicans, the flavors should be bold, layered, and true to what makes New Mexican cuisine so unique. That said, there are a couple bright spots: the margaritas are consistently strong and well-balanced, and the sopapillas have been perfect every time—warm, fluffy, and a highlight we genuinely look forward to. As New Mexican natives, we were really hoping for a place we could keep coming back to, but right now it feels like the quality and consistency just aren’t there.

5 /5 Tobin Graves: I have loved this place forever. It’s a family owned place, who are always friendly and happy. Food is amazing! Like many have said, the smoked chicken enchiladas are mind blowing, but so is everything else. All the way down to the giant homemade cinnamon rolls. My favorite brunch spot around.
