5 /5 PronetoRome: When you travel across the United States as often as I do, and eat everywhere, you know when you’ve found the best. Antojitos Mexicanos is simply the best authentic Mexican food I have eaten in the states, there is no close second.
What to expect: Antojitos is situated on the main drag of Yakima, WA in an area I never expected to find the best Mexican food. I spent some time in the area a couple years ago and ended up eating here weekly, absolutely the best Mexican food experience anywhere close. The area provides great camping, hiking and is a main hub for overlanders passing through on the Washington back country discovery route.
About the food: When you sit down you are greeted very well and receive house made chips which are absolutely amazing. I usually ask for seconds… for chips. The chips are accompanied by 6 intellectually different delicious salsas. My favorite is the tomatillo. I ordered Sopes with lengua. The lengua is absolutely to die for. With the tender flavorful lengua topped with fresh lettuce, fresh diced tomatoes, sour cream and white Mexican cheese it’s a quite the combination. You will mark this one in the map for “wholly cow so good” places to eat.
What I love about this place is the humble demeanor of everyone here. There’s family in the dining area and family in the kitchen. You are having a family meal with these fine folks. The food is much more than The Typical Tourist would expect. Do not pass on this incredible Mexican diner when I Yakima.
