    Carne asada burrito
    B S.

    Ordered one regular burrito, carne asada. Very good. Prepared fast. Great taste. Came in a bag with requested hot sauce.

    Stopped in for our first time. We were craving some breakfast tacos and noticed they served them until 3pm. Service: let me just start with the service which is honestly sub par. The guy taking our order wasn't the friendliest and was rude to my wife when she asked about trying a few different breakfast tacos and said they come in 3's but of all the same type. We didn't have a problem with not being able to try more but he was just rude about it. Food: food alone would be closer to 4 stars. I ordered the carne asada tacos which were pretty small but came packed with meat and had good flavor along with salsa, and onion. The chorizo breakfast tacos were good sized and came with egg, potato, chorizo, cheese, and salsa. It was overall decent filling and kind of what I expected but nothing I'd be dying to go back for. It didn't look like there was any seating around there but from other reviews it sounds like there may be some seating now.

    A decent taco place here in West Seattle. Every time I drove by the aromas would entice me to try their stuff so this time I actually gave in. We ordered their torta (adobada), Quesa birria and Birria tacos. The Torta was the best of the lot and it was good. They could have added more meat but overall it was flavorful. The birria tacos and quesa birria lacked flavor by themselves. However, their salsas both red & green are bomb and can make any flavorless dish taste better. We drenched our meals in their salsas and were content with what we tried. Overall it is a good taco place but nothing mind blowing imo.

    Great taco truck! Lots of flavor, just the right seasoning! I happened to be driving by, starving! I wish they had diet coke, but oh well. Enjoy.

    Quick little update since I went again this past weekend and I'm so happy for them that they now have a little indoor seating area away from the elements just behind the truck to the right. Again these are my favorite tacos in the greater Seattle area (even over some of those hyped locations in downtown). I have brought a few different friends here from SoCal and Chicago and both have gave their seal of approval on these tacos as sole of the best.

    Right of the bat for some reason I thought this place was a brink and mortar store - it is a food truck. Don't be an dummy like me and just look for a food trunk in the ally between the Pagliacci's Pizza and Lula Coffee. The menu is pretty robust, I was delighted to see a breakfast burritos on the menu. I am a picky person at times (most of the time in fact) and noticed the breakfast burritos on the menu were not exactly what I wanted - they were happy to satisfy my substitution of Carnitas as the protein instead of the options available. The burrito was fantastic, portable and hit all the spots I needed it to after running a race that morning. The taco plate was okay. We got asada for the protein it was pretty underwhelming - it was quite dry. If we came back I'd order the same exact breakfast Burrito I got.

    One of the better taco spots in Seattle! I came by for lunch and had the carne asada and chorizo tacos along with their horchata. Tacos were really good, very well seasoned and tender meat, salsa verde was very flavorful. Nice fresh taste. comes with lime wedges and all the normal add ons. Horchata was nicely sweet and had lots of cinnamon added. Tortillas were okay, I would love to see hand made at this price point but not the end of the world. Tacos are $2.50-2.75 each but that is pretty on par with most places around here. Staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations. I would recommend street parking on california ave a little down the street, the taco truck is in a apartment parking lot across from a drive thru coffee shop so finding a spot is a bit challenging. All in all great experience and if i'm looking for tacos in west Seattle i'll definitely be back!

    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.

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.

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.
