As a California native, my standard for Mexican food is pretty high. Fortunately, this spot did not disappoint. All my tacos were juicy and full of flavor and the salsas added a nice quick. I appreciate the quick service and that there is a lot of seating available. read more

The quesobirria tacos were the bomb! I'll be back for sure. Papaya Aqua Fresca was just okay, my bad for ordering because I just should have known. Boys got the horchata, and said it was the best drink they ever had. read more

I'm from California so I've been looking for a good taco spot and I think I've found my go-to. The quality here is clear step above places like Señor Taco and El Riconsito. The salsa, the birria, the tripas, the al pastor, the vibes - all great. I originally came to this spot because several friends recommended it to me, and I think it'll be my go-to recommendation to other friends looking for good tacos. read more

If you are ever craving Mexican Food please go to Carnitas Michoacan. They always satisfy my Mexican craving, especially with this Taco plate. The taco plate comes with three tacos with your choice of meat, I usually get the asada alongside rice and beans. The tortilla is just so soft and pairs so well with the grilled asada. The rice and beans are perfectly cooked and add so much flavor and depth to the tacos. Although it is a simple meal I believe if a place can do its simplest meals well then there other dishes are also just as good. Everyone is so kind and there is always tons of seating for you to enjoy your food. read more

Carnitas Michoacan - THE TACO PLATE - Tacos Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Carnitas Michoacán is one of the best taco places in the area. As of this review, their tacos are $3.19 each, but they are hefty things, with a generous amount of meat each. I went a little overboard ordering 5 tacos last time, but probably should've just done 3! I have tried their asada, pastor, chorizo and carnitas. Honestly, all the meats were very flavorful and delicious, but the star of course, was the carnitas. Oh boy, that carnitas is the real deal - super tender, super unctuous and oh so rich. There's a few crispy bits per taco as well. You definitely need that squeeze of lime and a nice salsa (of which they have plenty) to cut that richness. I left full and happy, and can't wait until the next time I make it down there. read more

Packed! The line was to the back wall so this place is popular. Amazing salsa bar with very spicy green salsa we had seconds of. The tortillas were perfect; soft and pillowy, perfect with the rice and beans. My beef tacos were authentic, filled with flavor, and my husband had the equally delicious beef fajitas. This is the best Mexican food we've had in ages! read more

Finally, a great restaurant experience in Seattle! Coming from the Bay Area the food here has been a continual disappointment. It isn't bad, but it isn't great either. I've especially missed Mexican cuisine and have been to a few all right places that didn't quite scratch the itch. I am so glad Yelp led me to this place. I got the carnitas tacos and ate them with the green cilantro-lime salsa. It was awesome. I'll be coming back. read more

I have been on the search for my favorite Mexican place in Seattle and I think I have found it here. I got the taco plate with Carne asada and pastor tacos. Everything was super good!

How have I never heard about this place until now? Words around the block is that they have the best carnitas tacos. Oh. My. Goodness. Everything was mind-blowingly amazing. Ordered a taco plate combo that came with 3 tacos of your choice with a side of rice and beans; the carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas was equally delicious. Upon first bite into the rice, it's flavorful and so fluffy. I've had refried beans at some places where the lard smell is so strong that it makes me sick consuming it, that wasn't the case here. Salsa bar had an avocado cream sauce thing that was addicting, even the chilli oil on the table was good too, careful it's very spicy, like burn your booty hole spicy. No frills neighborhood type of place located in Beacon Hill. There are Mexican ladies selling flowers outside, you can find somebody random trying to sell tamales also. It's a vibe. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

4.5 stars I was in the area and heard that these tacos were excellent so I wanted to come by and try it out for myself. There's no private parking lot but there is some street parking around the area and some residential street parking a couple blocks away as well. Right when I walked in the first thing I saw was someone making fresh tortillas and at that point I knew I was in for something good. I ordered four tacos ($2.69 each) - one carnitas, asada, pastor, and chorizo. Out of the four the carnitas was by far my favorite. It's so fatty and there's a crunchy element to it too. I heard that the carnitas in particular were especially great and I completely agree. After the carnitas my favorites were the asada, then chorizo, then pastor tacos in that order. The tortillas themselves were so thin and so good. You can really tell the difference that the fresh tortillas make. The tacos were made so quickly too. By the time I got my water and sat down at a table my order was ready. I'd definitely want to come back and eat more of the carnitas tacos but I'd also want to try some of their other dishes. read more

Want 4.5* for what might be the best carnitas I've ever had. Daughter and I went to CM for the first time for dinner. I got my "benchmark" dish for comparison to other Mexican restaurants (chicken enchiladas), daughter reasoned if carnitas is in the name, she should try carnitas (the carnitas burrito was bigger than she was). The benchmark wasn't an exact one. I had a choice of green sauce or mole on my enchilada, and I always get a red sauce for comparison. Maybe I misunderstood my options, but that ended up being an unintended win. The enchilada, by itself, was fine. Not obviously better or worse than typical, but the mole was first rate. Really wanted something to sop it up with, but was reluctant to use the rice. White rice with diced veggies were on the side; it was so buttery and delicious it seemed a crime to douse it in mole. I did anyway, and it was still good. The salad was a little gross - not sure what the dressing was, but it wasn't for me. The carnitas burrito was next level. Incredibly flavorful. I don't know what else to say... I'm now ruined for carnitas everywhere else. The restaurant is attached to a Mexican grocery store, and has a fast food feel. Order at the counter, take a number, they bring it to your table. That's it for the service, but that's ok. The place is spacious with lots of very large TVs (Mexican music videos were on). This is not a low-cost hole in the wall - prices were on par with or a little higher than other places, but worth the premium in my opinion. read more

I stopped by here for a work lunch. It didn't disappoint me at all. It was around lunch hour so this place get pack! Full of near by workers coming in for lunch and etc. I was craving for something soupy that day because it was a bit chilly outside. So, I got one of their specialty. Forgot the name of the soup but it was tasty! I will go back there and try out other items on their menu fosho! read more

Coming from socal I've been optimistically hunting for good Mexican up here and this place certainly has a very authentic vibe to it. The tortillas themselves are so interesting, almost like a corn-flour hybrid and clearly homemade. They are perfectly soft and fresh and going for less of a corn-strong flavor gives the ingredients in their dishes more room to shine. Salsa bar where everything is great and got a good kick. The meat definitely needs to have the flavor and juiciness turned up from 6 to 11 but that's a common issuei n a place that doesn't get a ton of foot traffic and doesn't want to make their food cost too much (which is appreciated). Self-serve water as well is always appreciated. The spanish rice has the right idea but was pretty dry and needed more intense flavor, but the refried beans were good and classic with crumbly Mexican cheese on top, probably cotija. Certainly a decent spot against the Seattle landscape but with a little work this place could be one of the best. read more

This has become my favorite Mexican food place in Seattle. It's located within a few minutes from the Beacon Hill light rail station, which makes it convenient to get to without a car. I enjoyed their horchata here a lot, it had great flavor and wasn't too sweet. I ordered their 3 taco plate, which came with rice and beans. I decided to try carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas for the tacos. My favorite taco was the carnitas taco, it reminded me of CA Mexican food. I also really enjoyed the rice and beans a lot. My husband ordered their asada burrito, which was also tasty. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and would definitely come back. They have a wide variety of menu options to choose from...and a Mexican market next door for some extra shopping. read more

Coming from SoCal I've been searching for a solid taqueria. This place is the best I've found so far in Seattle - forget Tacos Chukis and Carmelos and come here instead. Their best item imo is their quesabirria. Juicy and tender meat on a grilled tortilla that is neither too flimsy nor too hardened. No bite was dry or tough. My only complaint was that there is a decent amount of grease that comes out which could probably be removed. I also tried 3 of their tacos: asada, pastor, and carnitas. They were just ok (still miles ahead of the competition to be clear). The asada in particular was dry and none of the 3 meats were memorable unlike the birria. read more

food was a bit subpar the second time around now that they moved locations/renovated their spot. quesabirria was a bit pricey and smaller than expected, with a good amount of meat (but sadly not the fatty, juicier pieces, instead too lean which makes it too dry for my liking) and definitely not close to enough cheese to make it a quesabirria. Sad that it was disappointing because the last one I ate at another spot was my first experience trying it and I was so impressed I wanted to try it again at a different spot (aka here) and it left much to be desired. The consome was very salty but I guess that's how it usually is, very good flavor though. 4.99 per quesabirria and 2.99 for consome I believe. read more

These tacos may be some of the best I've ever had, and coming from living in San Diego for several years I didn't think that'd be possible here in Seattle. The service is fine as you order from the front and they bring it to you, but that is not why I come back time and time again. Everything is fairly straightforward to order so there shouldn't be any issues ordering what you want or asking questions. The ambiance is fun and chill and perfect for anything from a date to a family gathering. The art on the walls is honestly incredible, I find myself mesmerized by the detail and depth of the paintings. The tortillas are this salty sweet kind of flavour that I've never had before but absolutely make your mouth water for more. The meat seems perfectly seasoned, the textures are incredible and authentic and overall every dish I've tried has been beyond expectation. The sauce bar they have is definitely a huge plus as I love my hot sauce -- and their red sauce is hot hot hot! I feel like I don't find enough truly hot sauces at Mexican spots in Seattle so this is something I'm thankful for. The flavours of the sauces though really bring each bite to life. I tried a couple of the desserts they sell and enjoyed them as well. I believe they come from the store next door but either way, very enjoyable. I am so struck by how balanced and unique everything I've had is, this is my go-to spot for Mexican, period. The prices are totally reasonable and the selection offers something for everyone. Parking may be a little tricky depending on when you go but take out is always an option. I definitely recommend that everyone give this spot a try at least once. So far, I haven't led anyone astray by suggesting they order from here. I am so impressed by the work they put into their food. I am so happy we live close enough to enjoy it whenever we have a craving! read more

Best. Carnitas. Burrito. Ever. Also the restaurant is connected to a Mexican mini mart. Pro tip: head to the back where you can buy hot carnitas meat by the pound, makes taco night at home sooo much easier. Sometimes we treat ourselves to the hot chicharon which is also sold by the pound. read more

This is a great lunch or dinner spot! I haven't tried their breakfast menu so I'll leave that review for another day. I have eaten here twice and ordered something different each time and both meals were very tasty! My most recent visit was something special! I was torn between a carnitas burrito and the shrimp mole plate. I asked the counter staff if they could do a "Wet Burrito" with mole sauce on it instead of the traditional enchilada sauce and the gentleman did a fist pump and said "absolutely!" The staff here is wonderful and the food is very tasty but allowing me to order off-menu was something that made my visit feel a little more special to me. I will definitely go back and have the "Wet Mole Burrito" again!!! read more

I discovered this place on Uber Eats and checked out Yelp before I placed the order. Based on the pics of the restaurant and food- I knew it would be good and boy did this place not disappoint. No frills good Mexican- that's all I want. Amazing food for the price- my quesadilla was huge for $10 and came with generous amounts of guacamole. The tacos were also so good- probably the best we've had in Seattle. Everything also came with salsa and chips. I only wish this place was closer to me so I can get it every week!!! I miss my trip to Mexico City so much and this place hits that spot whenever I want good, authentic tacos! read more

This place has damn fine street tacos! I've been here a couple of times for lunch, and I just can't resist the allure of carne asada tacos... so that's what I got both times. They're sooooo good... very filling, and very generously filled. They have a little sauce station where you can grab a variety of hot sauces/salsas... I love a good hot sauce, so I love the dedicated station. The service here is quick, and efficient. The food came out super fast both times I was here, and I was thankful for that since they're seemingly very busy for lunch usually. The inside isn't much to write home about, but I'm not here for ambiance... just here for delicious food! If you're into legit, quick, and easy Mexican food, this is the place! read more

Homemade tortillas are a legit game changer! I stopped in for a quick bite and got the jalapeño and cheese tamale, pastor taco and carnitas taco. My friend got the quezbirra. I think the pastor was the one with the pineapple and I liked that one more than the carnitas only because I felt it was a little fatty. Tamale wasn't bad. My friend liked the birra a lot. The salsa bar was nice, the green salsa was INCREDIBLE. read more

Pretty happy to have this tacos joint in the neighborhood! Tortillas are made fresh and workers are nice. There's a good selection of drinks by the front door.

This place hits the spot when you are craving authentic Mexican food. I went in around 3pm on a Wednesday and there were several people eating, which is always a good sign when a place is doing good business even in off hours. I ordered the carne enchilada meal. It ended up being 3 enchiladas in verde sauce with rice and beans. I added some extra green salsa and radishes from the salsa bar. The enchiladas were perfectly rolled and beautiful with just the right amount of steak in the middle. There was a generous serving of melted cheese under the Verde sauce. The rice and beans were both really tasty and perfectly seasoned. At $18 I felt like the price was on the higher side but the quality and flavor of the food justified it. This will be my new go to for Mexican food when I'm in the area. read more

They catered an event for me, for a party of 25 people plus kids, and this food was so amazing. It was the best part of the whole event.

One of the kids said to tell the restaurant that he love, love, loved the carnitas. My friend Xavi from Mexico City loved it and took a bunch home for his kids.

Carnitas tacos were super fire. They made them with fresh pineapple and Carnitas, handmade tortillas, simply mine blowing especially with the green salsa. Also, the burritos were perfectly ratio with beans, meat, pico de gallo, cheese, and rice highly recommend all of them. I got two and warmed the next one up the following day and it was better than the first time. Don't know how that happened. Maybe because it was a different meat. I wish I got fried jalapeños when I asked for them instead of pickled but definitely doesn't change the fact that the food was fire. read more
