Lotus Jiu Jitsu Seattle ¡Hola amigos! I am thrilled to share my delightful experience at the enchanting Mexican paradise that is this local favorite restaurant. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warm smiles and vibrant colors that transported me to the heart of Mexico. Lets start with the star of the show: the enchiladas. Oh, what a masterpiece! Tender tortillas lovingly wrapped around succulent, slow-cooked meats, smothered in a tantalizing sauce bursting with authentic flavors. Each bite was like a fireworks display in my mouth, exploding with the perfect balance of spices and textures. The cheese melted into gooey perfection, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors that left some of us longing for more. Next up, the chimichangas. These golden parcels of joy were the epitome of crispy deliciousness. With a satisfying crunch on the outside and a luscious, savory filling within, I couldnt help but swoon with every bite. The meats were tender and juicy, complemented by a medley of vibrant vegetables and aromatic spices. Each chimichanga was a culinary work of art, a fiesta of flavors that danced on my taste buds with every glorious mouthful. And how could I forget the burritos? These substantial bundles of joy were a testament to the chefs culinary prowess. Bursting at the seams with a symphony of ingredients, each burrito was a treasure trove of Mexican goodness. The tortillas were pillowy soft, hugging the robust fillings of perfectly seasoned meats, creamy beans, zesty salsa, and fresh guacamole. With every bite, I could taste the passion and love that went into creating these heavenly creations. In addition to the extraordinary dishes, the atmosphere of the restaurant was a celebration of Mexican culture. The lively music, colorful decor, and warm hospitality made me feel like an honored guest at a traditional fiesta. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who ensured that every need was met. I wholeheartedly recommend this extraordinary Mexican gem to anyone seeking an authentic culinary adventure. Prepare to be transported to the sun-kissed streets of Mexico, where each bite is a fiesta of flavors. Whether youre craving enchiladas that will make your taste buds dance, chimichangas that will ignite your senses, or burritos that will leave you craving more, this restaurant is the place to be. ¡Buen provecho!

Ashlie Rankin I honestly am not even sure why that place wasnt packed on a Friday. Food was amazing, staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Food was all freshly made to order. Their AC is amazing too, if youre stopping for a bite to eat this summer, I wouldnt look any further.

Crystal L My photos literally do not serve justice for how juicy delicious, and mouthwatering these burgers were. First time ever coming here, came with a friend and it was about a 20 minute drive from Tacoma and it was soooo worth it and amazing! The lady who took our order was super sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. She asked if it was our first time and I said yes but my friend has been there. She explained everything about the menu and even gave suggestions. I got the double burger and added bacon which seriously hit the spot, I also bought a chocolate shake and some fries. Let me tell you the fry sauce was a whole different level, I usually get ranch but the fry sauce was way better and apparently they make it homemade everyday. 10/10 ALSO they have seasonal shakes like peppermint and pumpkin spice!

Joyce McMurran ★★★★★ Fantastic Irish pub in downtown Puyallup! The lively atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a fun night out this week with the fam and friends at Christmas time… Our server was fast and friendly (Thank you, Jewel!) and the food was great - loved the nachos. Highly recommend stopping by for a great time!

Jeremey Clifton Everything about this place is amazing. The food was delicious and the homemade jam went well on my English Muffin. 10/10 will come again

Marian Garcia Had dinner here after a long hike. We were starving and were craving a burger so I looked up a spot on Google Maps. Found this place. Absolutely loved it the party was slightly over cooked but everything was delicious. Including the milkshakes.

Kirk Engle Went there on a work trip. Great drinks and food, so we went back again the second day for dinner. No disappointment at all, but the light fixture was a little funny. Would totally recommend, the food, not the light fixture! :)

Alicia Leonard What a great little place! The bartender took very good care of us! The food was fantastic and the drink were perfect!

Melinda S First time at Golden Corral and it was so good! For two people, the cost was about $54 (we both got sodas), which is a great price compared to a lot of other buffets I’ve been too. They had a lot of variety such as a salad bar, roast meats, fried meats, and plenty of sides. Overall the food was tasty and really well seasoned. My favorites were the meatloaf, chicken pot pie, fried okra, pinto seasoned beans, the mac, and the rolls! The churros were really good too. There was also an ice cream and slushee machine. So many foods I didn’t get to try (fried chicken, fried fish, steak, salad bar, taco meat, etc. just because I was so full). Sometimes the food did run out, but they refilled items frequently. The servers are also very sweet here! Susan was awesome. I’d definitely come back again.

Andrea W Loved the food (thanks for making one dish without meat!!!), the atmosphere was cozy and fun, and the service was amazing. Shout out to Sean/Shawn/Shaun who was our server and went over and above. We’ll make the drive here again soon!!

OhItsTori Very kind staff and hospitality, good portions and options of food, cool aesthetic and environment, and kept us full! In my opinion this is one of the hidden gems for Korean-BBQ, especially with those prices. Photo in middle is Option B (our options we had gotten were the Cote Sal Boneless Short Rib, Marinated Spicy Pork and Combo-cut Pork Belly). The spicy pork here is the spiciest marinated pork Ive ever came across so far, we loved it! Otherwise they included all 6 sides for us with sides of rice each and an option of Kimchi or Soybean soup, in which we chose the Kimchi. It was hot and refreshing! Definitely worth the drive down. :)

Ang S We were greeted quickly and seated fast. Loving the paper menu, old school feel. The waitress was kind when getting our drinks and order. You could tell she was overwhelmed and the only gal on the entire floor helping both sides of the restaurant. Doing her best to stay a rock star while bouncing back and forth by herself. It was about 3pm and content with our wait. I was excited to order an ol fashion BLT on RYE bread, the bacon was thick cut, very lean. :) with fries. My mom enjoyed her loaded baked potato. Good atmosphere over all. Was able to take half my meal home for leftovers.

Christina P Decided to try Mama Stortini’s because their happy hour menu looked great, and we were happy we did. The bar area itself is very small…cozy, if you will. There is a small bar top seating section to the side, two high top tables, and four regular tables, but no bar to actually “mosey up to.” The area was very clean, and there are two TVs for the sports minded. We found a table quickly as it was only about 4:30 pm, and we were greeted quickly by a friendly server. She took our drink order, and answered questions we had about certain happy hour menu items. The dirty martini is a true dirty martini! Tasty with a choice of gin or vodka. We also ordered three appetizers to share. First, the calamari with rings and tentacles. So very happy to have the tentacles, but would like more of them! The batter was excellent! Crisp and lovely. The calamari itself was cooked perfectly. Second, we tried the Spicy Prawns. Also perfectly cooked, saucy, with Calabrian chili for a nice kick! The arugula bed was a nice touch that paired well with the spice. Third option, the zucchini crisps. Honestly, we weren’t expecting sticks, but more flat and wide as they were described as cut lengthwise. The tempura batter again was excellent, but the actual zucchini was lost to the batter so we did not get a true taste of the zucchini. Overall, the food and service were lovely, despite the miss on the zucchini, and the lack of an actual bar to sit, but we enjoyed our experience. We’d definitely like to come back to try other dishes on the happy hour menu!

Evelyn Alley We took my Mom to Black Angus, Puyallup for pre-.Christmas dinner. None of us had been to this restaurant in many years. To our great delight everything was PERFECT! From the atmosphere, cleanliness, extremely friendly & prompt service, to the 2 for 1 meal my Mom and I ordered. The “Hot Honey” was the bomb! My husband and I ordered Prime Rib and it too was spot on! We will be happily returning. In my haste to get this review out I neglected to mention how amazing the Cheesecake was; Excellent! And the Strawberry purée was sooooo, GOOD!!! I highly recommend ordering that on the side like I did and dipping into the ramekin. Heavenly!!
