4 small tacos for $4.50. Way better than fast food.
Kevin M.

Amazing food I have to say. This food truck is amazing. Food is great and extremely cheap. The location is not ideal since no one could really see it. They also only take cash which is sometimes a down. But overall, I rather eat here than in a restaurant since it's cheaper and actually tastes better since you eat it right away.

I must say this is by far the best taco truck I've been to with consistent food.. But the prices are weird or they over charge I just let it slide as a tip because the food is that damn good!!--grilled onions and fresh ingredients my type of party!!

The horchata is $1 for a 12 oz cup I think.

Have driven by these food trucks any number of times but never stopped. the owner of the catering…read morecompany that runs the food truck catered a party for us and told us he had one of the trucks so of course we stopped by. Its a fun spot, tables to sit at and a varied selection of trucks. This truck has a wide variety of sandwiches including some vegetarian options that sounded good and even though I'm not a vegetarian I think I'd like to give a couple of them a try. My husband opted for pulled pork sandwich. It was messy and he said really good. I decided on an inside out grilled cheese. It had grilled onions, swiss cheese inside and then slices of cheddar on the outside and grilled so the outer cheese was crispy and the inside cheese super gooey. It was absolutely delicious and game with an au jus for dipping. They also have drinks, we got strawberry lemonade and some sides but the sandwiches are plenty, you don't need anything else.

Overall 3 1/2 with a half star added for being local…read more Located on Auburn Way across the street from Walgreens along with several other food trucks. This fine sandwich spot is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I ordered the T-Town Cheesesteak which came very cheesy, well seasoned and had tender meat. Pros: Soft Bun Filling Veggies are cooked perfectly Cheese steak taste on point Cons: Not enough steak A bit messy but that's understandable since it's a Cheesesteak. My suggestion would be for sandwiches like this they should be wrapped in parchment paper to seal in all the flavors, keep it warm and avoid less of a mess. Overall a good sandwich I'll be coming back for their other sandwiches

I was so happy to discover this gem of a coffee shop while on a walking tour of Maury Island. It…read morehas fantastic vibes and everything you could possibly want: great coffee and ice cream! The service was wonderful--the barista was welcoming, helpful, and patient while taking our order. We both ordered Americanos, and the espresso was top-notch. It's also incredibly convenient that they have a drive-thru, a kid's area, and an ice cream bar. I also really appreciated that the restroom was clean and handicap accessible--such a thoughtful touch. I cannot recommend this place enough! I'll definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I'm in the area visiting the site of the famous Maury Island incident--the home of the alleged first 'Men in Black' encounter following the UFO sighting in June 1947.

Really cute place!! They do everything: coffee, sandwiches, ice cream, salads…read more The Reuben I got was delicious, super hot and crispy. The ice cream was also great with huge servings (my photo is only a junior scoop!). They do not make it in house but it's from Umpqua and Cascade Glacier. Waffle cones and bowls ($1.10) are available but also not made in house. Cake cones are an extra 25 cents. They also sell day-old muffins for $1. I got a blueberry muffin from that pile and it was still great and tasted homemade. There is street parking across the street and they have 3 parking spots in their small lot + a drive thru for coffee. The logo does not match their inside, which looks a lot more modern. Overall had a good time here and would come back!

How was this review over 6 years ago?! Def needs an updated review:…read more Stopped in here yesterday during my quick lunch break. Ordered the tofu sandwich and matcha with the soft foam. My order total ended up to be around $14. First off, the tofu sandwich!! I'm not sure how they used to make it 6 years ago, but now I'd say it is one of the best I've tried. The sandwich came out warm, they sauté the tofu in a sauce, which I'm guessing is oyster sauce and it gives it a lot more flavor. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. For the matcha, I was not expecting it to be anything special since it's a boba shop. After taking the first sip, I was shocked on how rich the matcha was and it was delicious!

This is my favorite bubble tea shop. I started coming here for the pork banh mi in 2018 when I…read moreworked at the Lowe's across the parking lot. Their banh mi always have a large helping of meat coupled with the freshest cucumbers, carrots, jalapeños and other garnishes. Xavia was one of their main employees back then, and has remained a steadfast employee for them. It is always reassuring to see her familiar face and catch up with her. Now, 6 years later I am still coming here to get crispy pork belly banh mi and have started getting the hazelnut milk tea with boba. I haven't drank bubble tea in a long time and wasn't sure what to order. Ngi recommended the hazelnut milk tea with boba and I was not disappointed! I recently became a painting contractor. I don't have an office yet. So Goatea owners Tan & Tran have been incredibly nice and have been letting me use their space to hold interviews and new hire one-on-ones. As a new business owner, I really appreciate them helping me out! I definitely recommend Goatea for their delicious food, tasty bubble teas, and welcoming staff!

Where do I even start with this place?…read more My son and I were really hungry and craving something different, so I turned to Yelp to find a great sandwich spot. I almost went to a place in Kent but wasn't completely sold, so I searched again--and that's when I found Aunt Becky's. What a gem! We originally planned to get our lunches to go, but once we arrived, we decided to stay and eat inside. The women behind the counter were absolutely lovely--so patient and helpful as they answered all our questions. The menu is clearly displayed behind the counter, and there's a fun assortment of snacks and drinks up front. I ordered a toasted BLT, which was delicious (though I can't remember exactly what my son got). While my sandwich in and of itself might not look absolutely delicious - remember that looks can be deceiving and this sandwich was life-changing on the day we went! The vibe inside is laid-back and cozy. The decor is a little older, but it just adds to the homey feel. It's clearly a spot loved by families, local businesses, and workers from nearby construction sites--people were coming in and out the whole time for takeout. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend you check it out too. You won't be disappointed! See ya there!

Finally checked out West Hill Deli! Absolutely loved their food and ambiance…read more For food, we got the adobo pork belly (comes with macaroni salad, rice, and vegetables on the side) and the pandan fried chicken (comes with rice and veggies on the side). Pandan was super crispy and rice was soft, not mushy. Adobo was rich in garlic and in smoky and sweet flavor. Love they kept the fat on some adobo pieces. Each dish was just enough for us to finish for breakfast. For drinks, we ordered the calamansi juice and calamansi iced tea. Both taste great. Side notes: You order up front, bring your table number, and sit wherever you like. They will bring you your food. Once youre done, please put your food away in the back, which is located on the left hand side of the deli if youre facing the deli at the entryway. It was busy on a Sunday around noon. A few were available but was filled quickly after about half an hour of us arriving. People tend to spend time here. About an hour if youre just there to have a quick meal, but families were gathering and spending time with no rush which i loved. No waitress or waiter to check on you, just only to bring you your food which took a reasonable 2 minutes for drinks and about 10 - 15 for food. Overall, we definitely recommend!

Everything we ordered here was so satisfying, but the pork sisig with rice was the standout for me…read moresuper flavorful, perfectly savory, and just hits all the right notes. I also tried the garlic fried rice with longanisa and eggs, which was really good too. The longanisa had that nice sweet-savory balance, and the garlic rice was fragrant and comforting, though I'd still pick the sisig if I had to choose between the two. The ube pancakes were delicious soft, slightly sweet, and definitely a fun treat. Fair warning though, they will leave your teeth a little purple for a bit but honestly worth it. I also got the ube coffee and... YUM. Such a good combo with the pancakes. Overall, everything was solid and full of flavor. I'd definitely come back, especially for that pork sisig. Tita is definitely cooking in the back you can taste it.
