Marta's Cocina

Everything was as you expect when you come here. There are no thrills or surprises. Just your standard Mexican American diner classics. If you're looking for a neighborhood spot this could be it. My S.O. and myself popped in while passing through Lynden for a late lunch. I ordered the taco box with the pork pastor and my S.O. ordered a chicken chimichanga. The street tacos satiated my craving for tacos just fine. My S.O. described here chicken chimichanga as flavorless and her rice and beans as standard affair. Chips were stale and the salsa was meh. Their service was great. It really was service with a smile.

I never EVER write reviews but we had a very odd experience at this restaurant that I’ve never had before. My husband and I both ordered build-it-yourself meals; I wasn’t super hungry so I ordered a 1-burrito meal and my husband was hungrier so he ordered a 2-burrito meal. When our food came out, my plate had a great size burrito on it, and his plate had what looked like 2 taquitos. We asked the server right away if we got the right food, because the 2-burrito meal looked much smaller than the 1-burrito meal. The server brushed us off and just told us that’s how it comes. Later on during the meal, someone else (seemed to be a manager) came over and asked us how the food was and we said great except we were confused why the 2-burrito meal had less food than the 1-burrito meal. They again d

Last time I tried to come here it was closed. I was worried. Lovely lil Mexican restaurant. Some of the stuff is a little expensive for me as a Canadian but the lunch specials are too notch! And these fried jalapeños are delicious 🤤 As a bonus I met Marta today! 😊

We spent a few days in Blaine and wanted a sit down Mexican restaurant and found this not to far away. We were delighted with the authenticity, the food was great and excellent service. Margarita was just okay. Free chips and salsa were delicious fresh and authentic. A birthday boy donned an authentic sombrero while all of the employees sang happy birthday to him. It was lovely.

Our goto and most craveable Mexican restaurant. Fantastic food and great service, always.
