Yõli Mexican Restaurant - Kent (WA)

5 /5 Nichelle Page: Very welcoming staff. They asked if we had any questions about certain dishes, but we were ready to order. I had delicious seasoned fajitas and muy husband enchiladas. The portion were huge. We will definitely be back.

5 /5 Matthew B.: Of all othe Mexican food Ive had at a restaurant, this is simply the best. The Ceviche de Camaron was refreshing, the Pozole Verde deep, the Birria tender and the Rajas con Crema was out of this world! All the meats were so tender and the vegetables so fresh. Rice and beans were great. Homemade tortillas. Ive never had Rajas so good in my life -so smokey and creamy. Thecstaff weew friendly. We really appreciated the server. She was very kind and helpful.

5 /5 Justin Lau: Yoli Mexican Restaurant in Kent has quickly become one of my favorite spots since it opened in July 2025. I’ve tried a lot of Mexican food around the West Coast, but the dishes here truly stand out. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere with plenty of space — it can even host events for up to 80 people, which makes it a great place for gatherings or celebrations. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this was a place that takes pride in both its food and hospitality. I started with the menudo verde and menudo rojo, and both were absolutely incredible. The verde had this bright, herby flavor that felt fresh and comforting, while the rojo had a deep, rich broth that was full of warmth and spice. It’s rare to find menudo that’s made with this much care and flavor, and both versions were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. The carne asada was another highlight — tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The portion size was generous, and every bite was satisfying. I also tried the taco platter, and it was beautifully presented with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of thought into both the look and taste of each dish. What really made the experience special, though, was the service. Everyone at Yoli was friendly and attentive, Maria was my server for brunch during one of my visits and her charm and attitude really made my day. And Jeremy, the owner, made a point to greet guests and check in on tables. He and the staff have such a genuine charm that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone’s home. I also stopped by for brunch and dessert, and both were excellent. The chilaquiles were easily some of the best I’ve had — flavorful, crispy, and perfectly balanced. For dessert, the guava cheesecake and chocolate brownie really stood out; both were rich, delicious, and a great way to end the meal. Overall, Yoli is a gem in Kent, and I’m already looking forward to coming back again every weekend.

5 /5 Betsy Papaly: Really good food! The rice was especially good. The beans were not refried style, but very tasty with bacon and pork fat. Everything we had was excellent. I went in and ordered takeout, and it didnt take long to get our food. The place is very casual with a bar in the center. Plenty of parking. So happy to have this new place in Kent! Highly recommend.

5 /5 Ashlee Allison: I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how modern and cute the interior was! Stylish yet welcoming, with a warm atmosphere that set the tone for a great meal. As someone with celiac disease, eating out can often feel like a gamble, but the staff here were knowledgeable and accommodating, and I’m happy to say I didn’t have any issues. It’s clear they take dietary needs seriously, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food itself was outstanding!! Fresh, clearly homemade, and full of authentic flavor without being heavy or greasy. Every bite tasted clean and thoughtfully prepared. Even after a full meal, I didn’t feel weighed down, which is rare and very much appreciated. The drinks were just as impressive, well-balanced, not overly sweet, and crafted with the same care as the food. And the dessert? Absolutely delicious. A perfect end to a satisfying meal. This spot is a real gem. I’ll definitely be back, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone, especially those who are gluten-free and looking for a safe, delicious dining option.
