⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0/5 — Shane Spoerer
If you’re visiting Walla Walla, ***Taqueria Yungapeti*** is a non-negotiable must-stop. My wife and I have made this our mandatory "leaving town" ritual for over five years. It isn’t a fancy, sit-down white-linen type of place, but the food quality and friendly service beat out almost everywhere else in the state. Our favorites are My go-to. The California Burrito (Campechano Meat): which is steak and chorizo mix. It’s a game-changer. My wife’s go-to. Chicken Burrito Huge, fresh, and perfectly balanced with rice and beans. Breakfast: The Chorizo & Potato burrito is absolute fire. Just a heads-up unless you have a bottomless pit for a stomach, you don’t need sides, but if you find yourself still hungrey the service is fast too. Whatever you do, don't miss the salsa bar. But consider this your warning: the orange salsa is habanero. It’s tasty as hell, but it packs some serious heat! Hands down the best burritos and tacos in town. You won't leave hungry, and you definitely won't leave disappointed.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0/5 — Shenna-Lynn Brown
Quick service with amazing food! You place your order before you sit and then they bring the food out to you. Everything we ordered as very flavorful and the portions were perfect too. We got some pozole, menudo, fajita quesadilla, jamaica, horchata, and a tostada. We forgot to take pictures of everything, but it was great! I took a photo of the quesadilla all late. There were 2 more huge pieces that came with that.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0/5 — Jason Geymer
One of the most underrated breakfast spots in Walla Walla! My favorite is the Huevos con Asada!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0/5 — Timothy Swope
The food was amazing. I enjoyed fresh empanada which were cut and stuffed with chicken. The chicken was excellently seasoned and so moist. They provide several fresh made salsa included with thr meal and were excellent. Serving sizes were very good and very worth it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0/5 — Shawna Knighten
HIGHLY recommend!!! The authentic Mexican food was absolutely amazing, full of flavor with generous portions. I was impressed by the incredible friendly service and the atmosphere was extremely clean and welcoming with quality wood tables and booths all decorated with beautiful artwork. We were traveling but will definitely come back! The Hawaiian tacos are amazing and make sure to treat yourself with a raspberry churro.
