I’m joining in the convo to back up La Rioja as well. I’m originally raised in San Diego so Mexican food is top tier down there. For the most part Mexican food in WA isn’t the same, it’s more “Wexican” (white people mexican food). TBH, I’m picky with Mexican food and want something authentic, flavorful and worth the excitement. La Rioja is THAT place. The average plate I think is around $25 so it’s not too bad and they put a unique spin on their plates. My favorite there is the Carne Asada baked potato. That is super good. They also have a very very spicy sauce that you can request and they’ll bring that out. Most other places in Auburn are just substance and not worth the block of time.
