The big red truck in Gold Bar

Lala's Mexican Cuisine is a fixture in Gold Bar, Washington — a small town on Highway 2 in the foothills of the Cascades. You can't miss the truck: a large, bright red rig with the menu posted in photos along the side, parked where the trees meet the road.

It's a food truck that acts like a restaurant. There's an indoor seating area and a restroom on-site, so you can eat in out of the Pacific Northwest rain. Open six days a week, Lala's has earned the title of #1-rated Mexican restaurant in Gold Bar — a 4.9 on Yelp and a 4.8 on Google — by showing up every day and cooking fresh.

In a town with few places to eat, that daily commitment is the whole story. Regulars come for the authentic flavors and the friendly, fast service. We hope to see you soon.

#1-rated in Gold Bar · 4.9★ on Yelp

I walked over 5 miles round trip in the snow and ice to get to Lala’s Mexican Cuisine… worth every step.
