Excellent food, and their service is top notch! Cute little restaurant. We just can't stay away!

Food was great! Everything had good flavor and was filling for a decent price. The waiter was super friendly. The salsa was already really good!

My first meal here yesterday. The service and food was very good. My street tacos had nice pieces of well seasoned pork. the rice and beans were delicious and not overly salted as is the norm with most restaurant food. I had plenty leftover for a nice lunch today. Also love the salsa, cabbage salad and chips. The decor is colorful and tasteful. The booths are comfortable and clean. Best of all there is no loud blaring music so it easy easy to carry on a conversation without having to shout. I'll be back! Thank you.

All the negative reviews were made forever ago, so take them with a grain of salt. Staff are very friendly, and the food was amazing! Took a bit to come out, but the servings were huge! Needless to say, we have leftovers but we aren't mad about it at all. My one critique is that the carne asada seemed overcooked. Overall, definitely worth the visit! Would recommend

The food was very good! I had the Carne Asada Burrito and my girlfriend had the Prawn Taquitos both dishes were great! Service was awesome! Small quaint setting. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Hidden gem in the strip of other business near the Fred Meyer grocery store. Had some amazing carne asada. Staff was super friendly and the lunch service was blazing fast. Lively colorful decor. Mostly booth seating and a couple big tops.

Delicious! So glad we decided to stop here while passing through on the last night of a big road trip. Service was excellent, food was fast and fresh. Wish we lived closer!

Yummy stop at Ay Caramba in Yakima, WA. The establishment is clean and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and helpful. A nice basket of crunchy tortilla chips accompanied with a salsa and the MOST delicious cabbage/cilantro/onion thing! I said it was like a pico de gallo but dryer and with cabbage! We asked for more cause it was so good!! I ordered the taco salad with chicken. It was good. Lots of fresh made chicken in a fried tortilla bowl. Others order enchiladas and burritos and everyone was quite pleased with their dishes. Good portions and tasty. No complaints for this group. Solid rating of 4 stars.

Solid spot for authentic Mexican food. Located in a strip mall the restaurant is small. Service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the free chips and salsa. Ordered the prawns enchiladas and a big hot plate of goodness came to my table. Horchata to drink was also pretty good!

We have going here for years, never fails to be wonderful. Staff is so cheerful. I truly feel welcome. The food is delicious. My current favorites are the Spinach Enchaladas, to die for, and full of spinach! The fajitas are wonderful, so much food!! Ay Caramba!! Sure, it is in a strip mall, but a diamond.
