    2 asada tacos and 1 spicy pork
    Julianne G.

    Visiting my son at Akli Beach area and went for lunch. Seated at a great table with a view of the beach. Pleasant waiter joked with us and checked on us several times. Cute decor inside. My son told me the birria tacos are great here, but I ended up ordering asada and spicy pork tacos just to try. He got the quesabirria tacos and gave me a bite. Quesatacos are definitely the way to go here. Nice crunchy outside with the cheese goodness. My regular tacos were good. I wasn't a fan of the spicy pork. It was just spicy with no sweetness at all. Asada was in small chunks. I prefer a little smaller chunks, but this way the meat stayed moist and tender. We both got a traditional margarita which was very tasty. My husband ordered a plain chicken burrito. He said the chicken was tasty. One thing different from most taco places is there was no combo option with rice or beans included. You had to order everything separately if you wanted rice or beans. Definitely a place to try if you like birria tacos though!

    This is my second time going here and it's been amazing so far. I go with the girls and we rent the lime scooters after and it's so fun. This restaurant is by the beach and the interior is such a vibe. The food is amazing. Never have we ever got something that was okay, decent or not good. We got some shots and drinks. All of the drinks were really good. I get the quesabirria tacos and it hits every time, you HAVE to get the consomé on the side (im salivating as im writing this). We got the same host and honestly he made our night. So funny and sweet. We also get the churro boat? It comes with caramel, chocolate, and whip cream on the side and it's the only place I have known to sell stuffed churros. STUFFED with chocolate, strawberry jam and caramel. It's the perfect dessert after some tacos to top everything off. I will come back here with the girls again!

    Awesome food and friendly service! Four of us came on a Sunday for lunch and sat outside on the patio (patio is not large). We started out with chips and salsa.....you could tell things were "homemade" and we enjoyed them. My bride ordered the Pollo Bowl and commented on how moist the chicken was and how she loves the the. I went with the Fire Box and absolutely devoured it - everything was outstanding! My son ans DIL also got Birria Tacos and both said they they were delicious. Service was super friendly. Can't wait to come back!

    BEST BIRRIA TACOS EVER!!!! we stayed in Alki beach for a week and went here 3/7 days, every single time it was good. The service was incredibly fast as well for how busy it was. They have halal options as well!!

    Cute local place off Alki. Tons of drink variety, but def. not inexpensive. We came on a Sunday. Rainy. Not as crowded. Staff was super friendly. Got the chile verde quesadilla and it was really good, as well as the marinated pork tacos. Nachos were good. I'd come here again.

    I stopped in at Fire Tacos & Cantina today for a Yelp Elite Experience and while there I bought an additional dish and a beer. I arrived soon after their 11:30 AM opening and sat at the bar where I was well taken care of. While there I tried their Chile Verde Quesadilla and topped it off with a pint of Pacifico! The Chile Verde Quesadilla caught my eye by the description in the menu that it won an award from LA Eater (?). I thought it was more like a soft open taco and not the two tortillas surrounding cheese and other fillings that I make at home. This one was unique and the pork cubes were very tender likely having simmered in the chile verde sauce for a good long time. It was very delish! Overall, the staff were friendly and checked up on me for anything I might need. I love their decorations inside and took a bunch of photos posted with this review. In the summer their rollup windows look like they make the place feel more tropical (as much as Seattle weather can get!). I learned they have a location in Kent, they have a food truck on Aurora Ave near Green Lake and will soon be opening a Cap Hill location. I recommend this place for some great Birria tacos and decor.

    A great Mexican restaurant to eat at if you're at Alki Beach! We came here on a sunny Sunday and it was packed. We got their birria tacos and birria ramen. Their birria tacos were pretty good and the consome was made well! Each birria tacos did cost around $5 and the consome itself was $3, so it's a bit pricey here. The birria ramen was good as well, but it's not something I would get again. I wish there was more birria beef with the ramen. The service was great. The server was very nice and helpful. The food didn't take long to make at all, and it's crazy because it was packed. I really liked the ambiance of the restaurant. There's a decent amount of seating. Decorations are extensive throughout the restaurant and they have a great view of Alki beach looking out the windows. Overall, I very much enjoyed my experience here and I would come back!

    I had the best mango margarita I have ever had there! I'd go just for that. The food looks interesting, but I didn't see a ton of vegetarian options. There are some closer Mexican places that I would choose. Friendly staff and really cute spot.

    Fire tacos? More like mid tacos. :/ I will admit that my expectations were set pretty high with a name like fire tacos. But the food was just mid. I will say the drinks were delicious. But what good are delicious drinks when the queso on your nachos taste like the kind that comes out of a can. :( The meat isn't as flavorful as I'd like it to be. We ordered churros which were decent and came extravagant truck with ice cream. Very instagrammable! The queso used here reminds me of the kind that comes out of a can :/ The server was very attentive but I felt bad because we showed at 8:00 because the website of the establishment said it closed at 10:00. Come to find out we get there and they close at 9:00. Which sucks because we want to take our time.

    Birria tacos
    Laura P.

    Came here for the first time. My sister and brother brought us here. Love the decor nice and cultural. The service was great, the lady was helpful in answering questions and did good descriptions of the food. The only thing was I got birria tacos, and it didn't have much flavor and it didn't look like birria it looked like scraps of meat. It was ok. But I wouldn't order it again. Even my sister and my brother in law said it didn't taste as good as before.

    Walked past the window and saw someone eating Birria Ramen and two questions popped up in my head. 1) I have not seen Birria Ramen anywhere in my area, since when is this here? 2) How have I passed by this Fire Tacos location on my way to the arcade and never noticed it?? The current Valentine's Day decorations in the window and that ramen sucked me right in, and we agreed we made a good choice on a very chilly night. Our server Salvador was exceptionally friendly, sitting down at our table to chat for a bit since it was closing time. We chatted about our growing up in tropical environments and our appreciation for having 4 seasons here in WA. :) He made our dining experience unforgettable and we want to go back ASAP. Oh and yes the ramen, the quesadilla, and taco was excellent. The chips and sauce was ok. I prefer tomato salsas with my chips I guess. It was a great meal to fuel our night of gaming.

    This is my second time going to this location. I am very satisfied with the service, the food, everything is fresh and delicious. This is my go to spot when I am on Alki.

    I'm glad this event was a drop in! I got to meet with a friend for a girls night here. The churros were amazing. Fresh warm filling inside while crispy on the outside. The tacos were good, I ordered get the ramen birria soup but probably wouldn't recommend it. Soup was good when dipping the taco with the broth but adding noodles to it made it really bland. Chips and guac were kind of pricey for the portion received. My friend enjoyed her pork and beef tacos but since we ordered so much she didn't get to try the shrimp. Overall good food and fast service!

Upon coming home and opening my food, I found that it was lukewarm and nearly cold. In addition to that, my order was wrong. Their phone number does not work so I had to come back in person to communicate their errors. They remade my food and gave me free chips and guacamole, but that doesn't change the fact that I wasted over 60 minutes of waiting and driving back and forth for a simple order of tacos. An incredibly frustrating experience for food that I actually like and enjoy eating.

However, it still tasted like it had a really nice flavor, and had a soft interior. It being actually spicy would've moved this dish up a lot, though each taco was primarily made out of this chicken - and there was so much of it it was practically insane - but I loved this amount shoutout to the onions as well - they were great I asked for the habanero sauce - which i thought was ok - wasn't spicy at all and didn't add much flavor. will go with another sauce next time tried mixing in some taco bell fire sauce which was interesting i love that these came wrapped in aluminium foil to preserve heat. a great touch overall, as far as taste, these were pretty good, but when you consider the amount of meat you're getting, along with overall portion size - it's simply a fantastic meal.

After lots of great suggestions, we decided to detour and head to Taco City. The moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff -- always a great start. We kicked things off with the Dip Trio: chips, salsa, guacamole, and queso. It was fantastic. The guac and chips were on par with my longtime favorite spot, the queso was rich and delicious, and the salsa had a unique flavor that really stood out. It easily could have fed four or more people. I ordered the birria tacos. They were generously filled with flavorful beef and served with equally delicious consommé. For my personal preference, I would have loved them just a little crispier -- but otherwise, they absolutely hit the spot. My favorite dining partner ordered the Taco Trio -- two carnitas and one chicken. He's an "authentic taco" guy, and he said they were fabulous. As we were checking out, our server suggested we try the nachos next time. Don't worry -- we will definitely be back. This one just jumped to the top of our favorites list.

They have…read moreeverything you could ever want at a Mexican restaurant, and many that you've probably never tried before. I knew going in that I had to try their carnitas, but it was the other dishes that impressed me the most. The quesabirria was top notch. If you haven't had one before, it's as if a quesadilla and a taco had a beautiful baby - and the tortilla is dipped in the sauce that the meat is cooked in. The cheese is plentiful and delicious, it's a blanket that I've to take a nap in. I was a bit thrown off by the chunks of birria, most places shred it up. But I would say that it was much more juicy than the shredded version, I was blown away. This comes with some awesome roasted jalapeños and onions. The carnitas taco was excellent. For a street taco, they load it up with meat. It's a very traditional taco, so just carnitas, onions, and cilantro on a tortilla. But if you have the opportunity to eat here you should, they have an extensive taco bar with everything you need. The star of the show for me was the tostada de camarón. You just don't get them like this elsewhere in Seattle. Shrimp, mango, jalapeño, and avocado are all diced up to provide even distribution on a crunchy tostada. It's an exquisite bite every time. And there's a sweet sauce on it that makes the whole dish blend together so well. Carnitas Michoacán is a MUST visit if you're in the area. There's also a little market and carnicería next door that has some incredible food if you're making Mexican dishes at home, or if you just want some massive chicharrones.
