Moctezuma's Mexican Restaurant, Mexican restaurant in Southcenter Mall, Tukwila, US
Moctezuma's Mexican Restaurant is a Mexican restaurant inside a shopping mall in Tukwila, Washington. The dining room is large enough to seat groups and families, and the menu covers classic dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas.
The restaurant opened in 1978, making it one of the older Mexican restaurants in the area. Between 2014 and 2018, it received several Best Mexican Restaurant awards.
The name Moctezuma refers to the Aztec ruler and gives the place a clear Mexican identity that runs through the whole menu. The drinks list features a wide selection of tequila and mezcal varieties, reflecting the diversity of Mexican spirits.
The restaurant sits inside a shopping mall with a large parking lot, making it easy to reach by car. Hours are extended on weekends, so an evening visit is a good option if you are exploring the area.
One of the signature dishes here is the Tequila Flaming Fajitas, prepared tableside with an open tequila flame. The preparation happens right in front of the diner and is part of the regular menu, not a special event.
