Yõli Mexican Restaurant

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! It was an experience from start to finish. The greens tea shots were some of the best ones we've had outside of the ones from another restaurant in Tacoma. The chicken enchiladas with the green sauce? Bomb! The birria meal?! (It doesn't come put together but you can eat it with the tortillas. Did I? No! It was so good, I didnt want them. The chips were good and fresh. The guacamole and salsa, A1. We even got a little karaoke show. I will be back soon. (The 3rd picture my cousin order and I have no idea what it was but it was also good).

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 didn't 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.

Yoli promotes themselves as serving authentic Mexican food and if that’s the normal spice level for every

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.

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 w
