Breakfast burrito with bacon. The coffee was from Pilgrim.
Eric C.

Frist time eating at Anita's. Had a breakfast burrito with bacon. It was plentiful and delicious. I was handed the goods in a bag to go but decided to eat there under the shelter. There was a nice little space heater to help keep me warm on this cool morning. As I was unwrapping the burrito at the table, the server noticed and came out of the truck to bring me a paper container to help me handle the food. Very thoughtful!

Adobada Torta
Andrea A.

Confused about majority of reviews on here because the food was highly disappointing. But if you grew up in Washington all your life then that explains a lot. The menu options are high priced We ordered -Menudo -Adobada Torta -Horchata Sauces were watery, they must have added a broth into their batch to increase the quantity; In turn it lost its flavor and purpose. The torta was huge unfortunately it was mostly bread. Missing key ingredients such as refried beans and cheese (queso fresco). I think rather than simmering adobada it should have been fried for a torta. Menudo just tasted like water, very oily, added ingredients of our own to get flavor. The Horchata was good but anyone can make this classic drink in their own home. Not impressed overall. Hope this food truck can improve in the days to come.

One of the best Mexican food truck in town. Highly recommended! Real Mexican food. All food is great except their Mendouo.

People were raving about Anita's food truck here on Yelp so I had to check it out. I am a big fan of taco trucks! The wait was a bit longer than expected, but I say a long line is a good sign of something delicious! (Bare in mind it was close to noon your typical lunch time rush.) I was the only one in line in fact that wasn't Mexican, also a good sign. There are few options in this area where I work, so I was happy to find the truck so close. Regarding the food, It was good. Nothing spectacular. My meat was well cooked and seasoned. Tacos were yummy. I give them a 4 out of 5 on food because I just felt like my tacos suffered from an extreme lack of filling. They hardly put but a sprinkle of onion and cilantro on there. I probably could've eaten 6 tacos and that to me is nuts, especially for the price. This truck is definitely one of the more expensive I have dined at. I wish I wouldn't have chosen the spicy chicken tacos, I was swayed by a yelp review and regretted it. They were nothing special. The carne asada was delicious though, just the tacos were too small. And they only provided me with one tiny piece of lime for 4 tacos. (Might have to do with pandemic, but they already have a sign up adding $1 each for beef due to COVID-19.) Who ever claimed that Anita's is better than Tacos Chukis in Capitol Hill is completely daft! But I will not knock Anita's before giving their menu a few more tries. Specifically I would like to try the tameles, menudo, and breakfast burrito. Stay tuned! Thanks for lunch Anita's!

VISIT HISTORY: 5/5 - Last visit: today during lunch break - Frequency: first time, random found on my way from covid testing - Visit again? yesss, I wanna try all the meat selection FOO(D)RINK: 4/5 All food arrived in 6 minutes - carne asada taco: well charred, wish there was more meat - carnitas taco: good seasoning - pastor taco: disproportionally lots of onions, juicy meat - Overall: solid simple standard taco stand with well cooked meat, wish there was more cilantro and lime. Needed more acidity. Appreciate the red sauce. Great value for $2. I might like it on the same playing field as carmelo's. VIB(E)XPERIENCE: 3/5 - Decoration: it's a food truck but señorita Anita I'm the food truck is a babe - Staff: low key and chill. - Noise level: mexican music playing in the background - Wait time for foo(d)rink arrival: 6 minutes. - Wait time for our check: pay before eating. $2 per taco is

really uncooked white substance of some sort in the meat i wouldnt recommend it overpriced as usual

2 carne asada and 1 lengua taco
Michelle L.

got 2 asada tacos and 1 lengua . asada was a bit tough but flavorful. the lengua was amazing, soft and flavorful. next time just gonna get three lengua tacos. wait was about ten minutes. there's condiments and seating area at the side.

Heaven, Bliss, Paradise.  Four carne asada and two pork tacos.

This is hands down a legitimate spot for tacos. I can't even begin to tell you how I wished I lived closer to this place. Money!!!

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for a new food truck. So, when I saw this one as I was driving down Aurora, I had to stop. For me, it had all the makings of an incredible food truck. Nestled in a dark parking lot on a sketchy part of Aurora that is populated with marijuana shops and prostitutes. Sandwiched between a tire shop and a cheap motel...I mean how much better could it get? All it needed was some gunfire and I would've been reminiscing about the good old days in Oakland, CA. Well, it was alright, but it didn't live up to the location. First off, let me say that the people are really nice. So, I hope they do well. As for the food, it was pretty good. They make their own chorizo, so that is a plus! Since it was my first time, I tried a variety to get a feel for it. The chorizo tacos were alright, but the chorizo could use help with the seasoning. The carnitas taco tasted more like a baked pork roast than carnitas. The grilled chicken taco was pretty good as well, but didn't have that pop. The highlight was the carnitas quesadilla. That was good. Nice and cheesy, and the carnitas in that had real flavor. Overall, all of the tacos were fairly bland, but the quesadilla was tasty! I'll probably wait awhile, and then try them again.

Great Mexican restaurant located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle…read more Freshly made chips that come with a salsa roja that has a kick to it. Not bland like in other places. The ceviche was fresh and loved that they added shredded carrots for extra crunchiness. Tacos de carne were delicious, with the meat properly seasoned. Will definitely come back for more the next time we are in Seattle. Service was prompt and courteous.

I shared the mole enchiladas and lengua en salsa verde from this Mexican place…read more Of these, the lengua en salsa verde was my favorite. The beef tongue was cooked pretty well. Although it's naturally very fatty, the flavor and juiciness was retained after cooking - so they didn't screw it up. The salsa verde was a very nice accompaniment, as it tasted light, fresh, and a good complement to the fat of the meat. The mole enchiladas were less good. The mole sauce used leaned way too heavily on a sweet flavor - having little to no nuttiness whatsoever. It didn't taste anywhere close to some of the best moles I've had. The enchilada underneath was fine - nothing special. Both dishes came with beans and rice. Both were slightly above average, but nothing to write home about. I would say the portions were well sized in terms of overall amount, but the enchiladas were quite small compared to the beans and rice. With these two dishes we ended up around 28 per person. Overall, it's average Mexican food. 6.5/10

(those burritos are massive omg.) the mole enchiladas were SOOO good, as were the cashew poblano enchiladas. their sauces are so yummy and the presentation was on-point for both enchiladas. i also had a bite of my friend's carne en morita which is a slow cooked pork dish, and i was obsessed. the only thing i'd say to pass on would be the tacos. drinks were also great and had amazing presentation. i was very satisfied with my carajillo and my friend's passion fruit mojito was also very tasty (you could NOT taste the alc in it i swear) overall, koko's is a great spot if you're looking to dress up for a cute night out but also craving some tasty mexican food.

I've always wanted to check out D'la Santa. I always heard that Fri and Sats are always busy and…read morethey do not take reservations but walk-ins only. However, I just found out you can put your self on the waitlist on their website if it's busy. Sundays are the best days to go as it's not as busy and they were able to accommodate a big party. The restaurant also has a parking lot for people to park at as well, so that is a plus! The drink menu is very limited, they don't have a full bar. I ordered the skinny margarita and it was good. The food is authentic and if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, D'La Santa is the spot. We ordered the queso and the rajitas. Both appetizers are really good, came out super hot. Highly recommend. I got the carne asada plate and added an extra mini quesadilla. The carne is very seasoned so you have to eat it with the tortilla to balance out the saltiness. The service was fast and our waiter was very attentive.

We went on a Sunday and I was really hoping to try the tiramisu and bone marrow, but they weren't available at the date and time we went (shed a tear). Still, what we ordered completely made up for it. We had the torta ahogada, costillita en salsa roja, and moyetes dulces and I was honestly blown away. They absolutely nailed the tortas ahogadas. They were so good we ordered three more to go. I would gladly drive that hour and a half again just to eat here. I'll definitely be taking pictures next time! Also great service, they're super nice and attentive.

So many of our regular spots had lines out the door, which was no surprise, but we ended up getting a table here. Figured Mexican food is hard to mess up. Started with drinks- THE BEST MARGARITA I HAVE EVER HAD. It was perfectly balanced, fresh, just perfect to me. My fiance got a horchata and loved it too. They have an option where you can try ALL of their dips for $20, which I couldn't resist. It was so fun, they had like 9 different ones! I got the shrimp tacos and they were so flavorful that I almost gasped. The creamy sauce, crunchy veggie toppers, smooth avocado, and perfectly cooked shrimp...just wow. I will be dreaming about this dish for years to come. I am a pescatarian and gluten free and there were TONS of options for me. They mostly use corn for everything, not flour. The staff was gracious and kind. They seemed a little understaffed but truly made the most of it and made every table feel attended to and special, which was so lovely. Really cool vibe- lots of art and special touches. A really cool place that I can't wait to recommend to friends.

Went back to Maiz Molino recently on a Sunday night for dinner w/ friends. I was disappointed to…read moresee that the menu has changed a lot (and not just seasonally, but just a completely different menu) since the last time I visited (maybe a year ago or so). Before it seemed like Maiz Molino was focusing on elevated, unique Mexican dishes (shown in the pics in my prior review such as short rib, and other sort of "fusion" dishes, and more seafood focused, etc.) Now, the menu seems way more generic and casual like enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tamales, etc. just offered w/ different proteins. They are still focusing on maiz but just a bit more generic in the preparation and offerings. Also, they had 2 separate menus which was a bit confusing. One is a generic all day menu and then another menu had brunch and dinner on it. It was around 5:30 p.m. but they were out of a particular steak dish that we were interested in. Service was friendly. We had enchiladas, a dip sampler (for appetizer) and Tlacoyos. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out, sadly. It wasn't very busy while we were there, so hoping that they are doing ok as a business. I would love to come back if they brought back the old menu w/ things that you cannot really find elsewhere, including the great cocktail menu and desserts that were offered previously.

This has been bookmarked for a while and the only regret I have is that I didn't get here sooner…read more This food is terrific, the vibe is hilarious, the servers are downright fantastic. Andrew (our server) introduced us to his sidekick, who was in training. Love that personal, hands on approach for a mew team member, and Sidekick did a great job in monitoring our table and replenishing water. Have to stop here and express my appreciation for Andrew and how he took the time to explain the philosophy and genuine team vibe of the restaurant. Oftentimes when a restaurant adds a flat 20% gratuity, you get the feeling this is not passed on to the servers. Not so here. He explained that it's shared among the servers, bar, and other staff, with only a bit retained by management, but even that finds its way into their wages. Terrific work environment and happy to see it. It definitely shows in the level of service. But we're here to eat. Didn't take a picture, but one of my dining companions ordered the burrito with red chili sauce and it was very good. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce. The Cantina celebrates Taco Tuesday, so I took advantage of this. You get the opportunity to try 5 different street tacos for the low price of $15. For another $4 you order it fully loaded which is a steal (guac, pickled onions, lettuce, giardano, crema, and another lovely sauce). Each of the tacos were really delicious and packed full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and the beef. Was surprised how much I liked the popcorn chicken - still juicy and not greasy in the least. Andrew treated us to a round of the hatch green chili. I was delighted because it was a dish I wanted to try. He described it perfectly: a little kick, but you can't stop eating it. He was right. A bowl of this in the winter with their cornbread (which I'm confident will be delicious) will preempt a winter cold. The sauces on the table are not to be ignored either. The green chili sauce was fruity with a little heat, the scorpion chili brings the heat, but their homemade chili oil is phenomenal. I could put this on everything. In short, the Cantina delivers. Excellent food, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun staff, and a cool vibe. I'll bet the cocktails will also be good. Definitely adding to the regular rotation!
