I've only ordered El Camion via GrubHub, so I don't know what their dining experience is like, but their food is extraordinary. Some of the best Mexican food pretty much anywhere. read more

This is my favorite taco truck in all of seattle. I always get carne asada burrito. Make sure to try their homemade salsas. Fire!

Maybe I'm on my high horse growing up with LA street tacos... To start, kudos for how the meat is cooked, nice and tender. But, its like they don't use salt or seasonings. Tacos lenguas, cabeza and asada had no flavor. I had to salt them when I got home. I tried again for breakfast with a chorizo burrito - same thing - ZERO flavor. They also can't wrap a burrito. It's packed way too full and way too loosely. The burrito ended up in a bowl minus the soggy tortilla. read more

The flavor is why this review isn't one star. Ordered online first time and paid extra for guacamole. There was less than a teaspoon of guacamole. At least it was there! Ordered online a second time and decided to add just avocado (also extra) and see if the portion would be a little more. NOPE. ZERO avocado this time. Very disappointing. If I'm paying extra for something, you darn well better have it somewhere on the plate ALSO, I paid extra for grilled onions and what did I get? A couple chunks of raw onion. Cool. read more

The los gallos rojos is soooooo yummy. Favorite thing to get! Might be my favorite taco truck in the area too!

I've given this place upwards of a dozen chances and there's only one dish I found tolerable--the carnitas tacos. But I haven't been back since the day they were out of onions but didn't bother to say that before I paid for my order. read more

Whatever you do, don't order online from here. Ordered just a burritos bowl and chips. Delivery app said 10-17 mins. I got there about 16 mins after ordering and asked about my order. Saw her looking around with nothing to find but my slip on the end of the line. She pulled it and gave it to a guy in the back. Came back and said 5 mins. However it would take 20 mins from that point to get just a burrito bowl and chips. I'm not asking for perfection but atleast be honest with how long it will take. read more

It's a very convenient location for me, right by my work place. Sometimes could be crowded and you'll have to wait for 10 minutes. Food is great. Love their El Camion web burrito with extra grilled vegetables. Tacos are good too. Usually I was buying something in Whole Foods across the street but now this truck is getting some of my business instead. Thanks. read more

Customer experience was super poor. The guy in the front was rude, I tipped nicely- no thanks, or appreciation. The shrimp weren't deveined and appeared to be preheated. Rice and beans smelled like old water. Not sure if this was a bad night but I'm disappointed. The one thing that was solid was the horchata. I will never eat there again, which sucks because it's down the block from me :( Still no response from owners. What a wack establishment. I will never come here again. read more

Food and service was amazing. Best tacos I have ever had. Ambiance was 5 star. My whole family is obsessed wit dis food truck. read more

El Camion - Los Gallos Rojos, - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wow - best shrimp tacos I've had in a while! Ordered for pickup and it was ready super fast and amazing. I got shrimp tacos and the side of rice and beans. The rice and beans were really good too, although the container leaked a little bit (not a huge problem, I was able to put the container and my plate of tacos on another plate to minimize the mess). My boyfriend got a burrito and has ordered from here many times, and loves it every time. Definitely ordering from here again! read more

See all

I had driven past their location by Home Depot on Aurora, but had never stopped. I didn't know what I was missing... So far, I have had three varieties of tacos and their breakfast burrito with chorizo. Everything has been excellent with very generous portion sizes. Biggest challenge is reading the menu - old eyes and social distancing makes things tough, particularly because they have a lot of options - both menu items and meat options. I strongly recommend using their web site to study the menu and make your choices in advance. I would recommend that El Camion post a full page summary of the meat options by the order window, for us easily confused gringos who can't keep track of the three (!) different pork options... At any rate, I only recently discovered El Camion, but I am already hooked! read more

Huge portions considering the price! Service is always quick and high quality. Have only gotten to go

Everything we ordered was just right! Great spicy flavor on the meats and a variety of tasty sauces. We especially loved the "Gallos Rojos" chicken tacos. read more

I've been to this place a few times now and tried a bunch of stuff because I was so excited to see a taco truck in the neighborhood. Chile Relleno (2) - This seems to be their special for a while now. I've always been a fan especially after my trip to PV. I was a little worried at first because it didn't come with meat and as a protein fanatic, I had some reservations. However, after trying it I can see why meat wasn't needed. The chile is beautifully battered and fried but leaves more of a fluffy taste than a crunchy one. There was a generous amount of cheese oozing out from inside and they give you two large stuffed chile peppers. It comes as a combo and you get corn tortillas in case you want to make your own tacos, definitely a great buy. Sopes/Gordita (3) - This isn't like the traditional sopes I've had. The base is exactly what I excepted in a sope, thick on the outer ring yet still soft throughout. I can't really say if there was a layer of mashed beans cause I didn't see it but I did taste it very faintly. Then you have your choice of meat on top which I had a generous amount of carne asada once again. They top it off with cheese, caramelized onions and cilantro, but instead of lettuce and salsa, they give you two slices of avocado. Eating it as is the sope was a little dry for me. After adding martajada rojo sauce it really worked out. I personally prefer salsa but that's my preference. Tacos - My first visit I wanted to get a quick taste test to see if this truck was legit so I order a bunch of tacos. It was your standard street taco but with added salsa. Shrimp, this was definitely my favorite. Again it came in a generous portions (surprising cause most places aren't like that with seafood). Fish, I loved the flavor and how the fish stayed moist. Carnitas, it was a bit oily for me, but the meat was super tender. Chicken, I'm not a fan of chicken taco in general but the meat had the same consistency of a carnitas taco. Chorizo, you can't go wrong with chorizo, it tasted exactly as you would expect,m. Lengua, I don't like lengua and this wasn't part of my order but I received it anyways. Still not a fan of that texture. While they don't have an actual red sauce, they do often five different types of sauce. I've tried four of them: 1. Salsa Verse - doesn't taste like much. 2. Martajada Verde - tastes like an actual Salsa Verde from other Mexican restaurants. 3. Martajada Rojo - closes thing to a hot chili sauce 4. Habanero - a few drips is enough spice I prefer Martajada Rojo just cause I can pour a lot on my food to get that additional flavor and kick. Overall, a great taco truck, really convenient location away from traffic and ample parking. read more

Tamales are cheap, hot and and filling as fuck. They're tamales. Habanero hot sauce and green sauce are also smackin. Much needed moisture and heat on the tamale. Green sauce especially flavorful but habanero is fuckin spicy I appreciate it 5 stars. I'll be back next time I go to Whole Foods to watch libbies stick their tamales in some rice flour. No offense to y'all I'm an ally and I love Whole Foods but damn you're cheese (not like the cheese in el camion's tamales). read more

Really wanted to give this place a good review as it appears to be family run. Carne asada tacos were extremely bland with no seasoning to the meat or pico. Rice and beans were somewhat decent but were room temp and nothing special unfortunately. read more

Really good Mexican in Seattle great portions, pricing, FLAVOR, freshness, and sauces. The food wasn't too greasy and it felt like a lot of care and love was put into the food especially the posole. My favs were the tripa burrito mojado and posole. The tamale was a little dry but had a good mole flavor. read more

So, we are regulars at the Roosevelt truck. And tonight is probably going to be the last night we get tacos from El Camion. This is the second time we have had to wait for more than 50 minutes for an order of 4 tacos. The first time we left the tacos as we were made late for an engagement down the street, but we wrote it off as a one-time thing. Tonight we arrived at 6:28pm and we finally received our order at 7:26pm. After our number was skipped (40 minutes in) we were told "they lost the ticket, working on it now." That's it. No, sorry, no nothing. When we finally got the tacos we were made to feel as though WE were the ones inconveniencing THEM. Which is asinine. This is very disappointing to have to say, but I am appalled by this experience and I rarely write these, but this was just horrible. read more

I've been eating burritos out of this truck for more than fifteen years - through the duration of it's lease at the stadiums, and then while their prices hiked at the International District location. $11 for a burrito means I get them less often, but I'm glad the minimum wage is now $15 an hour. Hopefully they're earning more than that. So why three stars? The manager at the current location is too tight on the sauce. I used to go through four tablespoons of chipotle on these burritos. In the last several months the stingy sauce manager went from allowing me three tablespoons when I asked, to complaining they have a limited supply every time I asked, while relenting on a third tablespoon. Today I was nearby, and hungry, and I went to El Camion on 64th. The manager was happy and friendly, when I asked for three chipotle sauce. He made no complaints and no arguing. And he only gave me two tablespoons of sauce... not enough really. Somehow I go in thinking maybe he'll notice I tip 25%, and I think maybe he'll be amenable to procuring enough sauce. But, nope! I may be grabbing an El Camion burrito when swinging by Home Depot, but I'm done with with the 64th Street truck. Gordito's is closer anyway, and they let me have the sauce. read more

Seattle is so depressing for Mexican food. I have this place two chances. First time.....no seasoning on the carne asada. Not even salt. Second time....carnitas. Again, no seasoning. Ever heard of cumin? Onions? Anything? And they left ymout the beans. No idea why. I looked up the restaurant.....owned by a white guy. It just doesn't get any more Seattle than that. read more

Always delicious and consistent. I make a point of stopping here whenever I am in the neighborhood.

El Camion catered our wedding of about 70 people in the Arboretum in July. They were amazing! The staff was very thorough and our guests loved the menu items. We had several people tell us this is the best food they have ever had at a wedding! The only downside was they were a little slow to serve all the guests, but it didn't end up being that big of a deal. While I do not believe they are catering anymore, I would still highly recommend visiting their food truck next to Burke Gilman Brewing. read more

If you spent 40 mins making 3 tacos. Then don't pretend you can do it in 20 mins and wasted people's life on daily basis

I hate leaving negative reviews, but this El Camion location has disappointed me multiple times. The other locations are fantastic, but every time I order here it's sub-par. The carne asada burrito was not good - meat was dry, plus I ordered fajitas as an add-on but didn't get any. Needless to say, I'll be making the drive to the North Seattle truck for my El Camion cravings. read more

El Camion has been a favorite of mine for years and this location is no exception! My go-to is the Huevos con Chirizo burrito and I always get their chipotle sauce to go with it. I've have a lot of things off the menu and they've all been tasty so you really can't go wrong. Give them a try - you won't regret it! read more

Since we saw the truck across from BOL and down the street from Whole Foods we knew we would be ordering take out a lot! They haven't updated their website for this location yet. We had to do some searching for the phone number.. service is fast, food is great, and the wait is normal is busy. You might have to ask for salsa when picking up as they don't added it. They do have a tent set up for the waiting area but no seating. read more

As someone who is constantly in the neighborhood, I had to check this place out. Not only is the staff super friendly but also have my order now down as I'm a regular and remember my name. Now that makes me want to come back! I've tried most things on the menu and almost everything I've tried I have liked. The portions are really big for the cost as well. Delmar is also great and even told me my next meal would be on him if I didn't like his reccomendation. read more

cashier tipped himself $4 without asking, he just told me the total with his tip of my money included, I'm never going back because of this ... but also, my tacos were made with more gristle than carne - each bite was chock full of nasty tough meat. I've had way better food from their other trucks but this was super disappointing and not worth the money I paid or the money they stole read more

Really awesome food truck. I've heard a lot of good things including one friend from Mexico so I finally gave it a try. I had a Pollo Mole Burrito and a Pork Tamale with fried jalapeño and chips on the side. The burrito was amazing, the chicken was so tender and the mole sauce rich and tasty. There's seven different salsas to choose from. I can't believe I ate the whole thing!! read more

I leave grabbed dinner here a few times and I have never been disappointed. Everyone working there is super nice Great customer service. Super happy they showed up in my neighborhood read more

Fantastic food, huge serving sizes, and great prices. As a California native, I've been spoiled with good Mexican food most of my life and El Camión was a refreshing Seattle find. Meat, tortilla, and veggies were all very fresh. Owners provided us plenty of sauce and prepared the food quickly. Definitely would recommend a visit! This places deserves way more than a 3 out of 5 on here. read more

Just ate here and gave cashier (Martin) a $20. He insisted I gave him a $10 even though the person behind me also saw it was a $20. He was so rude and bet he had something to do with 2 sloppy tacos and frozen salsa that he practically threw at me. Just lost a long time loyal customer. read more

We're there Friday's going on 2 months now. Huge portions, good prices and authentic Mexican flavors!

I wanted tacos. I went and looked for good taco places and El Camion wasn't on the lists. I was surprised. Reading through the reviews of the location in our neighborhood, I saw review after review of an unpleasant man taking orders and bland food. The other day I needed tacos. I hate to say I can confirm both of these points. The menu said the taco choices were meat and then other choices. I asked at the window what the choices were. I thought I heard him say "meat" like the menu. I asked a question to clarify. His reply was "I told you. Beef..." That was unnecessary and unkind. I misheard you. What a .... Ok. So, I got my tacos and they asked what salsa I would like and I asked for hot. The tacos were bland. The salsa had no flavor or heat. This is really disappointing. When El Camion was in Ballard, their reputation was amazing. They seem to have some work to do to climb back to the top. read more

Ive been ordering food here so this is what you should know : order ahead since it takes forever the get food if u just walk in and order it at the window but also might take longer when u order ahead, always check the order when u get it cause you might get home and part of the order is missing , also if u order vegetarian or pescatarian you will still find pieces of chicken or beef. So good luck read more

We have never had bad food or a bad experience at el camión, until yesterday, where (the food was still great!) but the guy taking our order was on another level... and not in a good way. He was abrasive about how we ordered, shook his head when we asked for certain things (maybe his sense of humor but it did not land well), and argued with us about the drink we ordered, saying it wasn't a thing & we were wrong, even though we were staring at it on the menu board. When we picked up our food our salsas weren't in there, which he said was our fault, he told us not to order them at the beginning. Not a fun experience. I'd recommend the sand point location, they are so lovely! read more

Let me start by saying the food is actually good! All comes down to customer service or appreciation, the guy at the front is super rude not sure if it comes from a place to be very defensive since he doesn't speak fluent English; most people in the neighborhood are nice and polite, and I noticed that he gets away with his attitude since people either don't want to get involved in a discriminatory situation or just get used to it; which either way it IS NOT OKAY! I am not sure if the front guy is working for the taco truck or own it, but customer service is the only key to survive in a very competitive Mexican food market. Last time I have checked the food at this location was not cheap and I am paying for a service and to obtain a product from the establishment. The key to success in any service company is how you ended up treating your customers! I urge the owner or if this is the owner to re-evaluate your attitude not once but go over the entire way you treat customers and if you don't speak fluent English (then hire someone fully bilingual) and step back from the main business who is driving customers away. It is not acceptable that a good food stand is just ruin by one person; first time as a customer I ordered online thru DoorDash and I got the food quickly with no issues; there was a younger guy with intense blue eyes (assuming wearing contact lenses) he was nice but second time around we were running late and we live one block away from the taco truck, we decided to go and order from the window, a different guy was at the front, my husband tried to order something and he replied in a very rude way: "I don't understand you", we were looking each other like what is wrong with this guy?, my husband replied: "I don't understand you either when I am trying to order something and you are not getting my order right"; finally the guy calm down a little bit blaming his mask and took the order by having us to point the menu on the wall cuz he was not close to understand basic English, we got the order (wrong) once I got home I checked and I didn't want to make a big deal at that moment but this guy needs to understand that is not okay to speak to customers with a horrible attitude or getting the wrong order just as a payback when we are paying the business for our food! Anyway I just wanted to share my experience since I am not returning to this location for sure, I found a great one 3 miles away but I don't care to drive around to be treated right by a decent human being! read more

Always fire, really good Mexican food in Seattle UDist. Had nachos, the asada plate, and the quesadillas (at different visits haha). Food always hits the right notes, and the portion size is consistently huge no matter if I order from an app or in person! Love the consistency and the business! This was such a banger for the cost. read more

We love El Camion. But.....this location needs to amp up their service. Nice folks but they need to bust a move!! Took 45 mins to get our food. Not good! read more
