    In short You can barely see it from 99, so the map is kinda…read moremisleading. But once you get around back, man, the food is incredible. Just get in here. In long I've had a bunch of taquerias bookmarked or committed to memory for a while, and one way or another, this past week has turned out to be the tour of tacos in the area. I'd go back to all of them--every single one--and this one might be the best and most interesting. I just got tacos and a tamal, so I don't know that I could say toooo much about the difference between Mexican and Guatemalan food. This place is Guatemalan, but the stuff I had tasted familiar after 1,000 Mexican meals in my life. You have to go around to the street west of 99 to get in here. There's a little flat driveway paved with rocks leading into a flat, rocky-ish parking lot. Couple trailers, a shed, a school bus, and a food truck. There's some lawn furniture here and there. Today there was even a pleather recliner. This all has a vibe like people are coming over and we're all gonna enjoy seeing friends and family even if the setting is modest. I tried to use a little Spanish to order and the sweet lady punching it in just spoke English back. I clearly don't have the fluency I did years ago...lol I got 2 adobada tacos and a pork tamal, and headed back to my truck with my Jarritos for a late lunch. Today's the first day this year it has touched 70F outside, and with the windows down, it was a good truck-dining day. The tacos were molten off the plancha, and I could touch them but not hold them for the first couple minutes, so I munched on grilled onions and a fiery serrano while they cooled. I dug into the tamal as well. The pork tamal has bones in it--they clearly roast the whole thing and let that marrow enrich the tamal filling. Delicious. They wrap it in banana leaves and then thin tinfoil before they steam it. The masa got mushy 'cause I drenched it in salsa, but that's on me, and it was still spectacular. The tacos really shone through, too. Huge flavors on the pork, nice fresh onions and cilantro, and plenty of juice in the lime wedge. It's clear that everyone here loves serving good food that they would want to eat themselves. Best of all, I was out the door for 3 items plus a pop for $14. Not many places are running prices like those anymore.

    The adobada tacos were fantastic. I tried the hilachas and it was also very good. My wife enjoyed…read morethe pollo de gallina. This was an awesome find. Good Guatemalan food and beats the two Central American restaurants in Seattle by far. We are for sure return customers.

    Taste of the Caribbean is a black- and woman- owned Jamaican restaurant in the Central District…read more (The Central District rocks as a source for minority owned ethnic foods.) Walking in, the layout suggests they are also a party/mini-concert/event space. Service is casual; we were told to sit anywhere. I should have boogied my way to the table. We happily browsed through the menu looking at the many choices, some very unfamiliar. Everything looks so good, and prices are reasonable. We need to return and be more adventurous next time. Our server was helpful, guiding portion size and optional sides. The Food: Jerk Chicken plate, add steamed veggie, $20 + $2 - 5 Stars True to the jerk seasoning, theirs is spicy, as it should be. I find it annoying when jerk seasoning isn't spicy enough. The seasoning tastes even spicier when I drink water, and the heat spreads. So good! I was also happy they use boned chicken, which is more flavorful. I asked about veggies, that is $2 extra. Oxtails plate, add rice & peas, $24 + $1 - 5 Stars With beefy stock, these oxtail pieces are well-seasoned and paired well with root vegetables. A small salad and the rice & peas are a good match to the oxtail. I enjoy seeing oxtails used in different recipes. Jamaican patty, $5 - 5 Stars These beef meat pies are freshly baked and arrived at our table smoking hot. We were happy that we ordered two, so we wouldn't have to share. Haha. Very delicious. Plantains, $8 - 5 Stars From the appetizers portion of the menu, these are perfectly fried, caramelized, with minimal blackened carcinogens. This plate was a particularly good batch.

    This should be the go to place in Seattle for people seeking authentic tasting Jamaican food. I've…read moretried some of the other places but this is still the best in my opinion. Delicious oxtail, jerk chicken, and beef patty. I have eaten there and had take out. I'll say it's more of a takeout place despite being such a large space. It's mostly empty during the day but turns into a night spot for Caribbean and African night events on certain days. I have come here for years and gotten to see the same staff and they are always so great there. Very friendly and helpful.
