    Amazing authentic Mexican Food in full bar with great margaritas and Modelo, Pacifico, and DosXXX on tap!!! I am sorry we waited so long to try El Gran Taco. The food and service are amazing! Immediately given really delicious thin tortilla chips and house salsas. Got orders of guacamole and chips to go for later - so good!!! There are so many things on the menu that look delicious! We had the burrito with pastor and the roasted Yucatán pork (omg!) on a plate with beans, rice, and lettuce with flour tortillas! El Gran has a bar area and restaurant area, with a lot of futbol and Seahawks on the screens. Can't wait to come back!! There is a lot of great Mexican food in this neighborhood and El Gran Taco is among the best of the best!!! Go there now!!! You won't be disappointed!!! Service was sincere and fantastic!!! And the food...Will be dreaming about this!!!

    Delicious food. It was amazing. Great service. The restaurant is definitely a vibe. We visited during their 2 year anniversary celebration. Would definitely come back.

    It's a wonderful place to savor a wide variety of delicious Mexican dishes. The staff were exceptional and managed a large group with ease.

    The food is amazing. I have ordered the torta two nights in a row because it was so good. My son ordered the tacos and said they were good but he ordered the shrimp cocktail and said it's the best he's had in this area. We've ordered our food to go, but the service was good over the phone and our food was made up right. It's a cute little restaurant and bar. The salsa is so yummy the green was is spicy but delicious

    I ordered the molcajete and it was incredible -- sizzling hot, full of flavor, loaded with steak, shrimp, chorizo, nopal, everything was Soooo Delicious. Services was Friendly , Fast. And i felt like i was home. I would recommend it to anybody who wants big portions.!

    Came in for lunch with a large group, water and order taking took a bit despite being the only customers. Food came out within 10-15 minutes. Ordered tacos and they were fine, pretty standard. The taco plate was $10 for 3, you could choose any meat/protein. The green salsa was super spicy. Service was fine.

    Came here for a quick lunch. Food was pretty good, liked the tortilla soup a lot. Service was good, but we were the only ones there to be expected. Overall a good vibe.

    Chips & Salsa

    I came here because it was a newer taco spot and I love good stew we tacos. I must say that I was severely disappointed. First, when you choose the taco plate, you cannot split it between different meats. Fine. So I went with carnitas and it was one of the more underwhelming carnitas I've ever had. And I the worst part was that the tortillas were not handmade. They tasted like the stale, flavorless ones you get at the grocery store. The best part of the meal were the chips, which were freshly fried but the salsa was not very good. I think this place is a pass for me.

    Came here on our first night here from California. Since we're from LA we are super picky about our Mexican food. This place hit the spot! Food was delicious and very authentic! Diana the server was so sweet and helpful. Will definitely return on our next trip to Seattle! :)

    Molcajete

    Really, really yummy. The flavors were bright and fresh. Service was really good: friendly and professional. The space was fun: lively music, decorations, comfortable chairs and clean. Lots of places exaggerate when they show pictures of the food. Not this place.

    One of the lunch specials - 2 delicious chicken enchiladas with rice and beans.
    Kath D.

    We went back for lunch again today, and I'm happy to report that the whole menu is now available for lunch. We enjoyed carnitas tacos and tortilla soup!

    Tanoor is one of the more pleasant surprises in my time in Seattle. I've always thought about the…read moreWestlake / SLU area as a food dessert. Filled with corporate slop bowls to fuel up tech bros, you won't find a decent meal anywhere on this side of the lake. But Tanoor is kind of like that special someone who has been there your whole life but you've always looked past for greener pastures. This restaurant was staring me right in the eyes for years, and I didn't realize how magnificent it was until today. When you walk in you are greeted by warm, fresh and fluffy pita. Guess what, IT COMES WITH THE MEAL! Everyone knows I'm a sucker for some free bread. But don't let these Lebanese pillows fill you up, the dip marathon has just begun. The menu here is unlike anything I've ever seen. You can get lost trying to figure out what to order for lunch, so I would advise consulting the waitstaff for guidance through this delightful maze. I just looked on their menu to figure out what the fries that I ate were called, and I can't find them for the life of me. But they had their own incredible dip completely covering them. At one point we had 4 different dips on the table, and I'm not sure how they got there. 1) The dip on the fries 2) Spicy hummus (not that spicy, incredibly tasty) 3) Za'tar that comes with the pita 4) Yogurt sauce that came with the Kabob combo Everything comes with something else here. And since I was having an electric conversation with my good friend, I sort of lost track of everything that we ordered. But if you love dipping things in other things as much as I do, you will love Tanoor!

    The food here is pretty good. The fresh bread that is served at the table is the highlight. This…read morerestaurant has a modern vibe and is a nice dine in option in the area. I highly recommend the combo for two to three people as you get a variety of different appetizers and all of the main kabobs. However, a couple of things that really made this experience mediocre. First, the meat was overcooked even though I asked for medium rare. Most of the meat came out medium well. The rice was undercooked and hard when you bit into it. The server could have been more attentive.. didn't come back to check on us, even though the restaurant wasn't super busy. The biggest disappointment is that this establishment passes on a 5% fee to help pay for their staff's benefits. They stay it's optional and they can take it off but it's very distasteful. The owner should reconsider this and build this expense into the pricing of their menu. Otherwise their wait staff is going to feel slighted when customers leave less tip because of this additional fee. Overall, this is a solid place, but the experience was just average considering all aspects, and therefore the three star rating.

I got the classic smash with an extra patty. There's an obvious focus on quality ingredients, and overall the burger was enjoyable. The meat itself could be seasoned a bit more, so I'd recommend going with one of their more adventurous options to add some flavor. My biggest gripe has to do with the fries. $5+ is steep for the portion they're offering. Overall: 3.75/5

You order online for delivery or swing by to pick it up (which is what we did) :: when you get there, you just let them know which kitchen you're there for, and they quickly bring out your order. We ordered a couple of truffle mushroom smash burgers and a spicy lover's smash burger, and every single one was fantastic. They delivered exactly what you want from a smash burger: juicy patties with perfectly crispy, caramelized edges, all tucked into soft, toasty brioche buns. The buns were a standout - they held everything together beautifully and soaked up the juices without getting soggy. The fries were crisp and satisfying, rounding out the meal nicely. This is definitely a spot we'll be adding to our regular rotation.

    First, I'd like to start by saying, there was nothing wrong with my time or food here at K-street…read moreK-BBQ. We ordered the brisket and kings ribs. I can say the meat looked like high quality and tasted great! The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because I personally wasn't a huge fan of the banchan (side dishes) that were offered. There was salad, that had like the full bottom parts of lettuce in it, there was onions in some kind of sauce, kimchi, just not a lot of things I personally like to eat. I would say their banchan definitely leans more towards Asian clientel, so if you go with someone who is a picky eater or not super familiar with asian/korean food, then just be aware of that I'd say. Overall though, I would say come here for the high quality meat! The service was good, but personally, I just won't be returning. I feel like there are other K-BBQ places that meet my taste buds more than this place.

Their menu may not have an all-you-can-eat option, however the serving portions and variety are more than enough. This KBBQ is located in the Redmond Town Center. Their dining space is spacious and perfect for large parties. Their menu features 3 types of combos. We were advised the small size comfortably serves 2 while the large is serves 4. We opted for the small mix combo which had the prime ribeye, beef brisket, king prime short ribs, la seasoned ribs, beef tail flap, pork belly, pork jowl, pork shoulder, and seasoned boneless short ribs. We also ordered a bottle of soju to share. The meats were beautifully presented. They also served an array of banchans including onion salad and lettuce. Service was amazing. Our server always checked in and offered to change our grill pan. Pricing was on par for the meat quality and amount that came with our order. We even ended up with a couple to-go boxes.
