    I got the chile relleno plate and it was delicious! Good portions, lots of flavor. The salsa was amazing. My friend got the tacos plate and was super happy with it. Great spot for quick food nearby.

    Sauces (avocado sauce is only given when requested)

    This taco truck is one of our favorite spots to go to in Washington. They have buzzers that you get after you order, so you can wait in your car until it is ready to pick up the food. On Tuesdays the tacos are $1.25 a taco, which is a steal! We usually order the Al pastor (spicy pork) tacos and mulitas here. Their tongue here is pretty good too! Al pastor tacos - spicy pork is tender and had the right amount of spice to it. The flour tacos were not the best, but the spicy pork is so good/the price of the tacos on Tuesday overshadowed the flour tacos. Al pastor mulitas - crispy tortilla stacked goodness filled with al pastor, tomato, avocado, and cheese They usually give only 2 sauces when they hand you your food! However, you can ask for their avocado sauce, which is only given when requested.

    This place is great. Best taco truck in South Seattle. Quesabarrias are a teen favorite, although the veggie burrito is delicious too.

    Flan, chicken tacos, horchata, carne asada sopes, & al pastor macho burrito

    We finally tried this after its other trucks around. Having a coupon we tried this location and even without the discount, it was well worth the value!!! After reading reviews, we tried the chicken tacos. My almost 9 year old GOBBLED up 3 saying they were SO good. They were comparable to any leftist Mexican place. The carne asada sopes would be my recommendation!!! They're my hubby's favorite dish, and usually I'm not a fan. However Los Potrillos did them RIGHT as the texture was perfection to me - not too chewy so I actually enjoyed them!!! The carne asada was tasty as well. We also read about the macho burrito, so tried it with the al pastor. It was a great burrito, wet style. Love the blend of flavors!!! The flan & horchata were our add-one to meet the coupon requirement but weren't quite our jam / worth the expense otherwise. They were tasty enough but a little pricey.

    Tripa tacos are amazing and crispy. Nachos are good but sadly some parts got too soggy by the end. Everything else are just average, but huge portion for the price.

    I would only come here on Tuesday for their $1.25 tacos, It good for the price!

    Tacos!

    I try to come here every Tuesday because of the obvious... Taco Tuesday! For the quality you get for ONLY $1.25 per taco?! You seriously cannot beat that. I don't know many other places that sells tacos for that cheap, but one thing I do know is that these tacos will definitely supply your satisfaction. I usually get about 4 to 6 tacos every time, and they come with your typical choice meats, onions, side radishes, and some other garnishes on your tacos. They also throw in a long pepper for you in your order too if you want to spice it up! There is 6 choice meats for the taco but my favourite has got to be the carnitas. The other meats I have tried as well and they are also good! If you're looking for some good affordable tacos, Los Potrillos is definitely a spot worth checking out!

    4 Tacos via Delivery. (Note: 1 eaten) Lengua extra $2. Came with salsas. Jalapeño and radish received upon request. Total $16.99. Nov 2023.
    Allisha B.

    Was craving late night tacos, my usual place was closed. I stepped out and ordered 4 tacos w lengua delivery via Grubhub. Lengua was a little fatty ? But they provided a good amount of meat per taco. Tacos were slightly but good amount of soggy, like just wet enough. Asked for radish, carrot, and jalapeño side - these were not available on the takeout menu. They gave me two slices of small radish and a long, skinny grilled jalapeño. Felt skimped. Especially with the amount paid - Lengua was an extra $2, totaling $16.99. That is more than four dollars a taco! A little high for not being able to provide sides that are free at the restaurant. Tasted pretty good, will order again in a pinch.

    Great Mexican restaurant located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle…read more Freshly made chips that come with a salsa roja that has a kick to it. Not bland like in other places. The ceviche was fresh and loved that they added shredded carrots for extra crunchiness. Tacos de carne were delicious, with the meat properly seasoned. Will definitely come back for more the next time we are in Seattle. Service was prompt and courteous.

    I shared the mole enchiladas and lengua en salsa verde from this Mexican place…read more Of these, the lengua en salsa verde was my favorite. The beef tongue was cooked pretty well. Although it's naturally very fatty, the flavor and juiciness was retained after cooking - so they didn't screw it up. The salsa verde was a very nice accompaniment, as it tasted light, fresh, and a good complement to the fat of the meat. The mole enchiladas were less good. The mole sauce used leaned way too heavily on a sweet flavor - having little to no nuttiness whatsoever. It didn't taste anywhere close to some of the best moles I've had. The enchilada underneath was fine - nothing special. Both dishes came with beans and rice. Both were slightly above average, but nothing to write home about. I would say the portions were well sized in terms of overall amount, but the enchiladas were quite small compared to the beans and rice. With these two dishes we ended up around 28 per person. Overall, it's average Mexican food. 6.5/10

(those burritos are massive omg.) the mole enchiladas were SOOO good, as were the cashew poblano enchiladas. their sauces are so yummy and the presentation was on-point for both enchiladas. i also had a bite of my friend's carne en morita which is a slow cooked pork dish, and i was obsessed. the only thing i'd say to pass on would be the tacos. drinks were also great and had amazing presentation. i was very satisfied with my carajillo and my friend's passion fruit mojito was also very tasty (you could NOT taste the alc in it i swear) overall, koko's is a great spot if you're looking to dress up for a cute night out but also craving some tasty mexican food.

However, I just found out you can put your self on the waitlist on their website if it's busy. Sundays are the best days to go as it's not as busy and they were able to accommodate a big party. The restaurant also has a parking lot for people to park at as well, so that is a plus! The drink menu is very limited, they don't have a full bar. I ordered the skinny margarita and it was good. The food is authentic and if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, D'La Santa is the spot. We ordered the queso and the rajitas. Both appetizers are really good, came out super hot. Highly recommend. I got the carne asada plate and added an extra mini quesadilla. The carne is very seasoned so you have to eat it with the tortilla to balance out the saltiness. The service was fast and our waiter was very attentive.

Still, what we ordered completely made up for it. We had the torta ahogada, costillita en salsa roja, and moyetes dulces and I was honestly blown away. They absolutely nailed the tortas ahogadas. They were so good we ordered three more to go. I would gladly drive that hour and a half again just to eat here. I'll definitely be taking pictures next time! Also great service, they're super nice and attentive.

We started out with a fundido with cheese and it was just so filling and appetizing. It came with cheese and chorizo and we were able to get toasted tortillas to place the cheese and chorizo in that went so well together. Plus, we also were given a lot of hot tortillas to use to finish off the rest. With the salsas that it came with, this was a great appetizer to start the night out with. After that, we got our baked potato with every single topping you can think of, including Wagyu carne asada. This dish is big enough to be a meal for one on its own and aside from a twice baked potato, this is probably the best type of baked potato you can get, considering how all the toppings go together. We also got a corn and pepper dish that tasted pretty good, but the star of the night was the porterhouse. For $99, the 38 or so ounce steak was the highlight of the night. It came with a chimmichuri and a salsa side and tortillas, plus the meat was cooked so perfectly. It had the right amount of fat on it and was just a really well cooked piece of quality meat. That porterhouse really ended the night and made it all worthwhile. The service here is super attentive. The ambiance is nice and seems like a great place to celebrate any type of event. Plus the food is spectacular. Will definitely come back and maybe next time try the a5 wagyu to see how that holds up. Definitely a quality place to eat with very reasonable prices.

They have an option where you can try ALL of their dips for $20, which I couldn't resist. It was so fun, they had like 9 different ones!

I was disappointed to…read moresee that the menu has changed a lot (and not just seasonally, but just a completely different menu) since the last time I visited (maybe a year ago or so). Before it seemed like Maiz Molino was focusing on elevated, unique Mexican dishes (shown in the pics in my prior review such as short rib, and other sort of "fusion" dishes, and more seafood focused, etc.) Now, the menu seems way more generic and casual like enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tamales, etc. just offered w/ different proteins. They are still focusing on maiz but just a bit more generic in the preparation and offerings. Also, they had 2 separate menus which was a bit confusing. One is a generic all day menu and then another menu had brunch and dinner on it. It was around 5:30 p.m. but they were out of a particular steak dish that we were interested in. Service was friendly. We had enchiladas, a dip sampler (for appetizer) and Tlacoyos. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out, sadly. It wasn't very busy while we were there, so hoping that they are doing ok as a business. I would love to come back if they brought back the old menu w/ things that you cannot really find elsewhere, including the great cocktail menu and desserts that were offered previously.

Andrew (our server) introduced us to his sidekick, who was in training. Love that personal, hands on approach for a mew team member, and Sidekick did a great job in monitoring our table and replenishing water. Have to stop here and express my appreciation for Andrew and how he took the time to explain the philosophy and genuine team vibe of the restaurant. Oftentimes when a restaurant adds a flat 20% gratuity, you get the feeling this is not passed on to the servers. Not so here. He explained that it's shared among the servers, bar, and other staff, with only a bit retained by management, but even that finds its way into their wages. Terrific work environment and happy to see it. It definitely shows in the level of service. But we're here to eat. Didn't take a picture, but one of my dining companions ordered the burrito with red chili sauce and it was very good. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce. The Cantina celebrates Taco Tuesday, so I took advantage of this. You get the opportunity to try 5 different street tacos for the low price of $15. For another $4 you order it fully loaded which is a steal (guac, pickled onions, lettuce, giardano, crema, and another lovely sauce). Each of the tacos were really delicious and packed full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and the beef. Was surprised how much I liked the popcorn chicken - still juicy and not greasy in the least. Andrew treated us to a round of the hatch green chili. I was delighted because it was a dish I wanted to try. He described it perfectly: a little kick, but you can't stop eating it. He was right. A bowl of this in the winter with their cornbread (which I'm confident will be delicious) will preempt a winter cold. The sauces on the table are not to be ignored either. The green chili sauce was fruity with a little heat, the scorpion chili brings the heat, but their homemade chili oil is phenomenal. I could put this on everything. In short, the Cantina delivers. Excellent food, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun staff, and a cool vibe. I'll bet the cocktails will also be good. Definitely adding to the regular rotation!
