If you call the South Sound home or you’ve spent a lot of time in Olympia and Tumwater, you may have passed by a Ramirez Mexican Store & Restaurant a time or two, not knowing that you were passing up a chance to experience some of Washington’s best, most authentic Mexican food. Forgive yourself for this, but next time, go inside. Whether you want to cook your own feast or leave with some tasty takeout, this place is the real deal.

There are three Ramirez locations, but only the Tumwater location has both the store and restaurant inside.

If you'd rather prepare your own Mexican feast at home, this is definitely the place to go for tortillas.
Each restaurant location is extremely quick and casual, but don't expect fast food quality here.

This food comes from family recipes, and it's delicious.
Stock up on fresh chips and salsa while you're here, because there's really no such thing as too much.
