    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.

    Carnitas & Chorizo Tacos

    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!

The ube pancakes lived up to the hype! not too sweet, perfect texture, and a flavor that was so perfect. The combo plate was amazing and I could eat a ton of their lumpia. Ambiance is homey and comfy, with photos all over the walls and a lively atmosphere. The owner himself came to chat with us about the food. We saw him walking around and being present with plenty of customers and that added a very special touch. he even gave us a magnet souvenir to take home.

The host asked us to wait outside and said she would come get us when our table was ready. A family who was already waiting outside was called in shortly after, and we continued waiting. We saw several parties leave and many people come in and get seated right away, so we assumed they had reservations. After waiting about 25 minutes, we went back inside to check on our table. The host told us that we "didn't leave a phone number," even though we were never asked for one and were told to wait outside until she comes get us. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, she complimented my shirt mid-conversation, which felt like she was trying to brush it off. The entire time we were outside, we were the only people waiting, and we even saw her setting up the outside seating as the restaurant got busier. She never once checked in with us or said anything. The food was good, and our service once we were seated was great. Unfortunately, our first interaction with the host left a bad first impression and took away from the overall experience. That's why we're taking off two stars.
