Such a great experience here.
The food is wonderful. We had the birriaqueso tacos, torta and tacos camarron along with the kids plain quesadilla and the guacamole appetizer. To drink, we had their coffee which was absolutely prefect.
The food was top notch and very reasonably priced as well. We had all the above items and the total was less than $100.
I love the decor sound the inside and especially the spacing between the tables. It does not feel crowded like some restaurants of this quality.
I hope to keep coming back for a long time.

Truly a hidden gem in North Tacoma! Beautiful decor, friendly servers and delicious food. Service was a bit slow even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The carne asada plate was well-cooked with excellent portion sizes. The guacamole had excellent presentation but could have used a little bit of salt/spice. The drinks had average flavor but weren’t very strong. Definitely look forward to going back sometime!

Comida Autentica! Authentic flavors reminiscent of Distrito Federal the heart and capital of Mexico. Stop by and enjoy the nostalgia of world renknowm show El chavo del Ocho and enjoy a RumChata or a refreshing Mangorita!
Today I tried the Wagyu Asada and Piña Al Pastor. Both huge portions and quickly brought to the table. I’ll be coming back to try out more of the menu for sure!

Absolutely delish spot for brunch. I had the pina mezcla and sticking with the theme had the pina pastor, it came in a pineapple! It came with warm tortillas, beans and salsas. Definitely could be a shared dish. The Mexican coffee was perfect. Looking forward to my next visit.

I found this place to be a nice lunch spot. I ordered the Carnitas En Salsa Verdes and the portion was large, it was very flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the Ribeye steak that was delivered on a hot slab with an onion and rosemary on it. The steak was cooked medium rare liked ordered and the flavor was incredible. Rosie was our waitress and she was top notch server. She was attentive but not over the top like many places we eat these days. When ordered my drink she confirmed whether I wanted it with alcohol or without which is nice since I don’t drink and most places just serve the alcohol. The do offer a good amount of dinner style drinks if you are some one who consumes and plenty of you don’t consume. I look forward to another trip here.

Title: Exceptional Flavors Let Down by Service and Presentation Slips
Rating:
We visited Vecindad with high expectations due to its Michelin recommendation. While the kitchen clearly knows what they are doing, the front-of-house and attention to detail left a lot to be desired for a restaurant of this caliber.
The Atmosphere & Service
We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. Our server was initially excellent—knowledgeable and helpful with the spirits menu. However, as the restaurant filled up after 6:00 PM, the service fell apart. Despite two reminders, our non-alcoholic beverages never arrived. We were forced to wash down a rich appetizer with lukewarm tap water served in cheap plastic cups.
Furthermore, I explicitly mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. Throughout the night, we watched as birthday songs and celebrations were given to other tables by the staff, yet our milestone was completely ignored. When we finished our entrees, the server didn’t offer a dessert menu or a birthday acknowledgment; she simply asked if we wanted the check.
The Hardware Issues
Management needs to conduct an immediate inventory of their plating. My plate arrived with a large chip of porcelain missing. This is a major safety concern; I had to investigate my food for shards of ceramic rather than enjoying the meal. For a Michelin-recommended price point, chipped plates and plastic “party cups” are unacceptable.
The Food
Queso Fundido (with Chorizo): Delicious and well-balanced. The chorizo was smoky and perfectly ground. However, we requested chips and were brought small tortillas instead, and there weren’t nearly enough of them to finish the large portion of cheese.
Wagyu Ribeye Tacos (Don Roberto) & Al Pastor: The Wagyu was excellent. The Al Pastor offered a great customization experience with the various toppings and sauces provided.
Surf and Turf Tacos: These were absolutely delectable. The shrimp was plump and perfectly charred. My only critique was that they were served on a bed of cold, shredded, unmelted cheese, which was unappetizing compared to the hot protein.
Sauces: The poblano cream was the standout. The chipotle cream was a bit too spicy, even for a spice connoisseur like myself. The chipotle cream sauce can benefit from an acid to balance things out. *** The whipped, fluffy delicious refried beans, definitely worth the mention reminded me every bit of my abuela’s beans. You can tell they certainly use the lard of an animal in the beans. Which gives them that silky delicious and smooth refined feeling in the mouth delicious palette pleaser.
The atmosphere is lively and vibrant, with music playing and many families enjoying their meals. There was a noticeable level of conversation. Given the presence of a bar, this likely contributed to the amplified sound. My research revealed that half of the restaurant is adorned and designed to resemble a renowned telenovela, creating an ambiance reminiscent of dining at one’s grandmother’s home while watching an entertaining telenovela.
The overall experience felt somewhat expedited, particularly considering our seating location. It appeared as though the staff was anticipating a larger group, leading to a sense of being rushed from that area. This was a slight disappointment, especially for an occasion we had eagerly anticipated. Nevertheless, we still commended the restaurant, and we hope for an improved experience upon our next visit.

Went here with my family for my birthday ! The food was excellent! Birria oh my goodness.. delicious ! Everyone’s food was perfect! Oh, can’t forget the drinks, excellent.
The service, the gal was super nice and came back a couple times to check on us.
Place was clean and restrooms as well. They have little sections of their decorations where ppl were taking photos..memories from back home in Mexico..so cute. We’ll definitely go back and recommend this place.

Overall, solid 4 stars. They could work on their salsas and have something that is hotter and also their green one is one note. Otherwise, great ambiance. The decor is homey, and very typical. Reminds me of some of the restaurants in Mexico where they are inside/outside and have lots of greenery. I ordered tacos de canasta, and my husband got a torta. The best bolillo in my opinion. The waitress was great too. I just find them prices pretty high, but the portions are a nice size. Definitely going back. I would say, this restaurant is a step up from basic. So this to me means it would be a great spot if you want to do a nice lunch/dinner or maybe even gather for a celebration like anniversary or to celebrate a new job.

I had an excellent experience at this Mexican restaurant. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere very welcoming. The food, while nothing particularly special, was tasty and satisfying.
However, I have one suggestion: I think it would be better to remove the bread that accompanies almost all the dishes. I don’t feel it fits with the ambiance of the place or the authentic Mexican atmosphere they’re trying to create. Improving that could make the experience even more authentic and enjoyable.
I will definitely return!

You walk in and immediately feel it — not a theme, not a gimmick, but a place. The kind of place that understands that atmosphere isn’t bought, it’s earned.
The décor hits like a quiet love letter to a Mexican hacienda. Checkerboard floors worn just enough to feel honest. Tables and chairs that don’t match because they were never meant to — they were meant to work. Murals and hand-painted phrases on the walls that feel lived-in, not curated for Instagram. Lantern light, woven textures, religious iconography, Día de los Muertos nods — every detail feels intentional without being precious. It’s the kind of room where stories have already happened, and more are expected to follow.
This is not minimalism. This is memory.
And then there’s the food.
Real Mexican food. The kind that doesn’t apologize or over-explain itself. Bold, comforting, deeply familiar flavors done right — not drowned in excess, not stripped down for safety. You taste balance. You taste care. You taste someone cooking for their community, not chasing trends.
And here’s the part that matters most: the prices. They’re almost suspiciously fair. The kind of pricing that makes you pause and think, they actually want people to come back. No ego. No upsell games. Just solid plates, generous portions, and a quiet confidence that the food speaks for itself.
This place doesn’t try to impress you.
It feeds you.
It welcomes you.
It stays with you.
And that — more than polished service or clever menus — is what makes a restaurant worth talking about.
You don’t leave thinking about what you ate.
You leave thinking about why it felt so right.
