Memo’s Mexican Food Restaurant

On days when the hubby and I have both had long days at work and neither of us feel like cooking we often find ourselves in the Memo’s drive through around 9pm. Ya it may be a bit sketch and ya someone may have crashed into their drive through sign (at least that’s what we’re assuming) but there is typically always a line of cars on Friday and Saturday nights and it ain’t for nothing. Don’t let the outside deter you.
Open 24 hours, the food is excellent, it’s inexpensive and the portions are huge. Just don’t forget to order a side of the complimentary spicy carrots!

It is starting to become a hit and miss with MEMO’S. and not in a positive way. This is the second time this month (2 weeks apart) that I stop by the drive thru to place my order. The girl at the window seems to not want to be there. She is rude and in a bad mood booth times. On the second visit she got the order completely wrong which made her even moodier, Her fault not mine. She should pay attention and check her attitude at the door or the window for that matter. Perhaps I will stay away from Memos till they look into this matter. We spend on average $ 20 here on every visit. But it is no longer a must that we eat here. There are plenty of other options in Everett now.

Don’t let the sketchy appearance deter you… this place is the BOMB! We tried the carne asada burritos, toquitos, bean and cheese burritos and the crunchy tacos. YUM! Yes, the girl at the counter is a bit on the snotty side… yes, they could clean the place up a bit, BUT, if you want authentic Mexican food without the frills and high prices… try this place. It is super yummy. :)
BTW…I’m a Cali girl, so I know good Mexi food.

Damn good beef taco salad. I can’t vouch for anything else on the menu, because this is the only thing I order every time! Yum!

Best Mexican food you can find in Everett! Don’t let the old house fool you! Hands down the closest thing to a Cali burrito up here.

the churros, carne asada fries, tortas, flan, salsa, & horchata are DELICIOUS.
I come here with my bf every other weekend when I crave it like at 3am & i’m never disappointed.

I always come here for their carne asada fries. It’s not the best Mexican food. Anyways, two nights ago, I ate their carne asada fries at 2am. Woke up the next morning throwing up. I threw up all day yesterday and it was the most miserable day of my life. And I know it’s from the carne asada fries because my friend who shared it with me got the same thing too. I am never eating here again.

The food at Memo’s is always fresh and oh so good! I’ve never had a bad meal. The chicken is marinated in spices and tasty. The breakfast burritos are fabulous. Crispy tacos are awesome! Always visit a Memo’s when we’re in a town that has one. Wish we’d get one in Oly. Prices are extremely reasonable.

I can’t believe I haven’t eaten here before! Andrew picked some up on his way home from work in the morning. I wanted to see a menu, but their site unfortunately doesn’t have the full menu up. I got nachos with shredded beef. They were a bit weird. They were almost upside down. The meat was on top and the toppings were buried underneath. There weren’t a whole lot of chips and the cheese is weird. Looks like shredded American cheese. Andrew got chicken flutas which he enjoyed them and their Verde sauce. We didn’t like the red sauce. Churro was tasty and custard filled. We will definitely be back — Mexican ²⁴⁄₇!

I wish Unilocal had the option of no stars cuz that’s what this place deserves! They have virtually no customer service skills. I asked for Pina which is Mexican pineapple juice and they gave me Pepsi. Another time I ask for a chicken burrito and I received a fajita burrito instead and I know I was clear in my request for a chicken burrito because I had to repeat myself 3x. Instead of taking the food back I ate it and found that it was bland and the lowest standard of food used because it tasted like dog food! I think the only reason people come here is because there 24 hours and they’re drunk. The place is disgusting and needs to be closed down!

No lights at the drive thru, so I could not read the menu board. Asked for a burrito bowl and or something similar but the heavy accented girl told me, «No Burrito Bowl». I am not sure if she did not understand me, but to aggressions were offered.
I was stuck in the drive thru, and she asked me if I wanted something else, and I said «No».
All she said was «OK»
I drove my and saw that fat lazy girl at the window who looked liked she did not want to be there and lost my business because of her rude behavior.

I ate a steak and cheese burrito here once, at 2am. Was up till 4am puking my guts out. But the burrito was good though, so at least i had that going for me.

Have only had their breakfast burritos but it’s probably the best I’ve ever had, aside from the ones I used to get in AZ at Viva Burrito. Been looking to find something comparable and finally after 12 years, I’ve found it! Their bacon egg breakfast burrito is perfect and I’d also recommend the chorizo breakfast burrito but add cheese and sour cream for a close second.
If you want a legit burrito this is the place to go.

This morning I got the courage to go to memos for a breakfast burrito. It was really good, and piping hot. I got the ham and egg burrito, I figured that would be really safe to get considering I’ve had a lot of bad experiences at memo’s. I would really like to know why I get a s***** attitude everytime I go there. They are always unpleasant. The employees will roll their eyes at you if you ask a question, and seem to hate life. If the owner wants employees like that, I understand, they won’t get my money. I really want to like this place, the food is usually okay! one thing that I have a big problem with, is their horribly lit parking lot. I definitely would not let my wife go to memo’s at night, and with graffiti all over the building it’s obvious that they don’t have a problem with gang activity. I took pictures and will attached them to this message. Oh, the building is horrendously gross! I don’t think they have swept floors since they’ve opened. They are open 24 hours, and I’m sure that they aren’t busy for the whole 24. I don’t see why they can’t have a single worker clean up the place when they aren’t busy. I think that it would show a lot of pride in ownership for the owner to clean up his building. Then maybe get a couple workers that are happy to be there. The snotty attitude has got to go! Oh, and you better have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to go in their parking lot. the potholes will make a car scrape. Just sayin

My boyfriend and I were craving authentic Mexican food at about midnight and decided to head over to Memo’s for the first time ever!!! We live a few miles away, so it was a little out of the way, but did not disappoint.
First of all, I was confused about the drive in and embarrassingly took the longer route even though there were no cars in line. We got cut off by another car in the drive-​thru while we were staring at the menu but it was okay because we needed extra time to decide.
My boyfriend got the two fish taco meal and I got just a plain bean and cheese burrito with a side of rice. The lady at the window was sweet and it was ready quickly. We both were very happy with our food! You get a lot for what you pay and it’s delicious. It hit the spot and we will definitely be going back.

This is super good fairly cheap 3am post bar food that just rocks every time. I am not sure what the do to there refried beans but they are freaking amazing. The nachos are also pretty bomb. The chicken is fresh and nicely spiced. Their burritos will feed two people they are so huge, though be warned they are a bit greasy.
I am totally a regular and will continue making this my go to place for late night Mexican.

I’m just done with this place. I’m so done that I haven’t been back in at least a year despite them being a stone’s throw from where I live and I’m still annoyed enough to post about it on Unilocal.
When I first moved here from California, it hit a bad taqueria spot I missed from home. But it was never very good. I just kept hoping it would be.
Even a simple no substitutions order will be wrong. They will talk about you and assume you don’t understand what they’re saying. And quite often they will overcharge you or miss items in your order.
I did try ordering inside, being polite, and tipping well and this strategy did not improve the experience. The food just isn’t good enough to be worth the effort, insult, or money.
Too bad, it could have been a regular stop for me.

Living and working near Memo’s, I hear about it a lot. «Oh you haven’t tried Memo’s? It’s amazing!» «You’re missing out!», etc.
Finally, I was like «okay, let’s go». I love Mexican food, so it has to be at least okay.
It was very late (11pm or so), and my boyfriend and I had just went to a concert so we were hungry. We went through the drive-​thru and I ordered a taco salad, beef, no guacamole, no sour cream. He ordered the super nachos, no guac, no sour cream, beef. The employee confirmed our order back to us.
We get our food and don’t really look at it, it’s all boxed up and we just want to go home. We get home, open the boxes and low and behold… chicken, on both of them, and both of them are COATED in sour cream and guacamole. My salad was drenched and so were his nachos.
We’re not that picky, if we have to eat a little sour cream, chicken, and guacamole, we will. But this was just disgusting.
We ended up throwing the food away and we’ve never been back. Maybe it was a disgruntled employee who just wanted to give us the complete OPPOSITE of what we ordered on his last day. Maybe.

Been coming here since moving up here from Cali. I was so happy to finally find Mexican food with the same Cali style taste.
Not sure what is up with today’s order but my taquitos had a burnt after taste. Like the cooking oil had not been changed. The carne asada fries was so bland and came with beans when I asked for no beans. There was no guacamole either.
Very disappointed with the food today. I may just start going to the other taco shop an exit away from here.

HUGE portions for pretty darn low prices. The food choices are somewhere in between Taco Bell and a taco truck. Not exactly authentic and certainly not healthy eating, but very tasty tortillas. You’ll hate yourself if you eat an entire portion.
There are one or two vegetarian options. You have to order your food without cheese and sour cream if you want vegan and I very much doubt that their refried beans are vegetarian.
They are open for indoor dining 24 hours. The crowd in there gets pretty trashy later at night.
The restaurant is in a converted house. It’s very unique. Not a classy establishment, but it has a lot of character
