Best Authentic in Yakima
El Pastor is one of Yakima's finest Mexican restaurants in Town. The food is fresh, homemade and very reasonable.
It is family owned and operated by the Garcia family. It is a pleasure to dine in a family friendly atmosphere.    [05 Jan 2006 16:11:38]

El Pastor THE BEST
THE BEST FOOD, no matter what your taste is. The Camarones Mexicanos is out of this world. The owners the Garcia Family make you feel like you are at home with family. They have a lot of repeat business for that very reason. I know why the were featured in the best places to eat in the Northwest magazine.    [24 Feb 2007 14:25:36]

Just good authentic Mexican
Fresh hot chips, salsa that tastes right out of the garden. Single item dinners with rice & beans, plus medium or grande combos to suit any appetite. Very fair prices and terrific service with a smile. The food tastes fresh and authentic; exactly what you hope for and expect from a family-owned Mexican restaurant. They sell their chips and salsa too! Tip: Order the Pepsi products for free fountain drink refills - Coke products come in the bottle. We've tried several other local places, and this is our favorite. Highly recommended!    [05 Apr 2007 15:44:24]

Best of the Best
Out of all the Mexican restaurants and taquerias in Yakima (and there are many), El Pastor is THE BEST OF THE BEST. Their food is fresh and homemade and their chips and "chili" (secret recipe) are THE best! (And I have traveled the states.) I actually buy and deliver chips and chili for friends and family between Eastern and Western Washington. The food, prices and staff are great. If you enjoy a home feeling w/family and friends, you experience both with the Garcia Family! The boys are real conversationalists and comedians!    [05 Jun 2007 17:27:31]
