SCW and I stopped in here a couple of times while staying in the area and needing some quick food…read more I was getting a bit on the edge of hangry so we stopped in. The selection for vegetarians is good. I've gotten the pinto bean burrito, the veggie burrito, veggie soft taco and one other I don't quite recall. I don't really know what the difference is supposed to be between the veggie soft taco and the veggie burrito as both times we've ordered them they are exactly the same. Not complaining but it's a bit odd. However the ingredients are really good. The veggie burrito has lettuce, some red cabbage, and a nice crunch from some kind of nuts among other things. I don't normally see these ingredients in a burrito but they add a good depth of flavor that makes the burritos really filling. We've only used the drive through here which is usually pretty quick. I do like that all of the packaging is recyclable. The service is good here as well. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area.

I popped on thru the drive-thru earlier this summer for a quick fix on the way back to Renton…read more Super decent with my usual sides/meal of sides consisting of gauc, tots, and sometimes the beans sans cheese. Staff was cordial, smooth and the location is decent. Always enjoy the PNW color scheme & such. One unique feedback (or maybe just a design quirk for this spot) is the atypical modified traffic flow entering with the horse-shoe lane (which seems decently sized for maybe even a dually truck with perfect turn skillz). This setup can end up making a few dead-end parking slots fairly tight to maneuver.

Expect to wait about 20-25 minutes after ordering. One could consider walking the rainier trail or…read moregoing to the park nearby while waiting. There is also Costco, Uniqlo, and target nearby if you need to run errands. Family run and the tacos are 5+ each but come with two tortillas because of the amount of filling. I would still give it a 5/5 even though some of the meat options are a bit on the drier side for my pet fence because the poblano one is so good. The zucchini corn one had nice smokiness. This is coming from someone who prefers meat usually. The steak was good. The chicharron is good but if you are expecting crunchy this is not. It's cooked in a nice sauce that is spicy but not too much though my spice tolerance is not low. 3 is good for one person. 4 if super hungry. Great option after any of the local hikes.

My friend and I went to Xochi for the first time for lunch today on one of the last sunny Seattle…read moreafternoons. We came at around noon when they opened and they already had several people waiting on benches outside the truck for their orders. Xochi is a food truck in Gilman Village (Old Issaquah), located near the Brown Bear car wash. It's been on my bucket list for a while as it was listed as in the top Yelp 100 taco places nationally in 2022 and 2023 and also featured in the Seattle Times a few years back. Xochi offers five different meat taco options: - Encebollados (steak & sauteed onions) - Tinga (chicken in a chipotle sauce) - Cochinita Pibil (pork in an achiote sauce) - Chorizo (pork sausage & potatoes) - Chicharron (pork rinds in a spicy tomato sauce) They also serve five different veggie taco options: - Calabazas (zucchini, corn & tomato) - Papas (potatoes) - Broccoli (broccoli & garlic) - Bruselas (brussel sprouts, carrots, & garlic) - Rajas (poblano peppers in a sour cream sauce) My coworker and I tried the ENCEBOLLADOS, TINGA, & COCHINITA PIBIL. She also ordered a CHICHARRON, but I'm not a big fan of pork rinds or fried food and so I passed on that one. Each taco (regardless of meat or veggie) is $5.48 and comes in a double corn 5 inch tortilla. Note that you can only buy single tacos here; they no longer do taco plates as previous photos of the menu have shown. They also charge $0.50 for extra salsa; we ordered one EXTRA SPICY SALSA on the side to share and just to try. The total for 7 tacos and salsa came to around $50 with tax plus tip. The ENCEBOLLADOS were our favorite. The steak was perfectly cooked and the verde-like sauce they put it on it was amazing! It was zesty, a little spicy, and gave the taco lots of flavor and oomph. 10/10 would recommend and get this again. THE TINGA had a nice smoky flavor and the chicken was also nice and moist. It came with a cotija and sour cream topping and went great with the EXTRA SPICY SALSA that we had on the side (which was definitely spicy but not overwhelming spicy). The COCHINITA PIBIIL (which is normally my favorite and go-to order at El Camion) was our least favorite of the bunch as the pork was slightly dry and my friend found it slightly overly salty. It came with pickled onion on the top and was slightly vinegary and mostly savory. Lastly, the CHICHARRON (which I didn't try, but my friend did) was tasty and had strong tomato flavors, but she regrets not eating that one first as the fried pork rind quickly get soggy in the tomato sauce. As far as seating, they have three outdoor tables and a few benches. No seat covering or outdoor heaters though and so you will have to take your tacos to go in the fall and winter. They have a good health rating which is also always reassuring when eating out. Service was quick and we got our food within 10 minutes after ordering. Note that you bus your own table, but they keep the tables pretty clean. Watch out for the yellow jackets in the summer though! So where does Xochi stack in comparison to other taco places I've tried? I would say it's within the top three picks for sure as they are generous with the taco meat and the tacos are very well seasoned and flavored. I think my favorite taco is still the Cochinita Pibil taco from El Camion, but these tacos beat out Pacos Tacos and La Chingona in my opinion, so maybe second on the list for best taco in the Seattle area? With that said, it's definitely the best taco I've had in Issaquah and the Eastside and I can't wait to be back for more Encebollados! Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere.

Plenty of seating and steady stream of customers coming in. Food is average but scratches the itch if you're craving simple, no frills Mexican food. Is in no way comparable to the Mexican food you'd get in California, but for Issaquah I'm happy this little place is here. Portion sizes are good and prices are cheap. And you get a lot of food for your money. But my main feedback is the salsas are not spicy at all. Like at all. The ones you get with the chips tastes fine but is not spicy at all. And then when your food comes out, they bring out a mustard and ketchup bottle that actually has salsa verde and roja in it, but is also not spicy!! Just sadness. The nachos were decent, very generous with the amount of meat loaded on top. And the enchiladas were fine, but the chicken was a bit dry. Rice/beans good. Horchata is a little too sweet.

Costco just switched back to Coke after 13 years with Pepsi. Pairing Pepsi or worse Diet Pepsi with…read morea hotdog or most American-style meat just sounds unappealing. Try now instead a Coke or Coke Zero with Costco's famous loss-leader, their footlong all-beef hotdog in a steamed-fresh soft roll with squirts of relish, mustard, and ketchup, and see if you grok what i mean. Frozen creme par excellence remains the Ben and Jerry's factory near Burlington VT, on the factory tour even before the ice cream can harden. Chilled raw milk transported to the factory and separated into cream retains the wonderful and heady aroma of grass-fed milk, once evanescent from the warmth of one's mouth. Even 40 years after my first visit, i've found no better ice cream experience, and only soft-serve without the stabilizer gum and emulsifiers comes close. Alas, Costco buys wholesale soft-serve mix with stabilizers and emulsifiers, but serves a 10oz large for $1.99. Their pizza also gets underrated. Despite using all-purpose flour and making dough store-wide for all their baking, they bake a nice crust, so long as you order a fresh pie and eat it there. Don't steam the crust taking it home or it becomes too soft and saggy. Sure, they don't offer much choice, either pepperoni or cheese, but a whole large costs only $9.99. Yes this outdoor food court has plenty of parking-adjacent commotion other stores with indoor food courts haven't. On a nice day though, enjoying a bite under the sun and light breeze is just as refreshing as the food. Otherwise quite underrated and under-appreciated, as a chain they consider their decisions deliberately. That cannot be said of individuals. Hectic with orders jammed yesterday, one employee became a Pizza Nazi and tried to organize the craziness, shouting, even screaming order numbers, "289 Going Once, Going, Gone," dismissing every unclaimed. Yet many others and i found it tolerable. Where else can we get a footlong all-beef dog and a bottomless Coke for $1.49?

BLT (4): good thick cut bacon on toasted bread. Decent as well. You can add the works (all fixins) on anything. I'm glad I tried these other items but I'll probably stick with their burgermasters in the future. One detail I'll note during our last visit is their dine-in line management needs work. There were 2 lines forming without any coordination. One inside and one out the door. They need to have more clearly marked lines or some sort of management in place or you may potentially wait unnecessarily long. I still love the dining options though. Inside, in your car, or takeout/drive-thru. They even have warmed lockers to keep your food warm in secured lockers until you pick up. Nice new facilities! Overall, this has become one our favorite burger joints in the area. we'll definitely be back.

We stopped in her last month and tried Burgermaster for the first time…read more The parking was not ideal, the spots they did have were incredibly tight and there were too many people and not enough spaces so people were double parking along the curb. It almost deterred us from stopping here altogether. At one point, I said it wasn't worth it and we should just go somewhere else, but my husband eventually found a spot. I liked that they have a lot of outdoor seating. We bring our little dog everywhere with us so that it important. It was also later in the afternoon and the huge Burgermaster logo on the building did a great job of providing shade. There were a lot of bumps in the service portion of our visit. The staff we interacted with seemed young and inexperienced but I am guessing they are still working out the kinks. A gentleman sitting at the table next to us outside got very angry that they did not take his name down correctly and kept calling for someone else, so his meal was just sitting there getting cold until he went to check. I had my husband wait inside after that and it was a bit chaotic. They weren't incredibly busy or anything but they just all seemed to be learning at the same time. The staff did try joking with us to lighten the mood but it was a bit awkward. We ordered a double baconmaster with onion rings, a mushroom burger with fries and a Tom and Jerry shake. It was $45 before tip for 2 people which is kinda crazy for fast food but we had high hopes. The burgers were standard and totally average as were the onion rings. I would give them all 3/5 but I thought the fries were above average. They were cooked and seasoned well. The shake was delicious. 5/5 all day, but it was so small. We asked for large but were told there was only one size available. They are missing out by not offering larger sizes and it makes zero sense. If I had known they what I know now, I would have ordered two shakes and some fries. I might come back when they are more established, even though my experience was left plenty to be desires because I think there is definitely potential here.

Dear Laz, I LOVE your burritos! You really nailed it with…read moreyour vegetarian burritos, and it's amazing that there are multiple options, not just a boring rice/beans/pico and lettuce combo, but actual veggies (mushrooms, peppers, etc) in the tortilla. It's like getting a fruit salad without all the boring filler fruit. Delicious and colorful! Can't wait to try the fried cauliflower version. My partner had the shrimp burrito and said the shrimp were just ok, they needed salt, but better less salt and add if needed. Another thing, we loved that you're open until 8p every day, we could actually find the truck, and the hours posted are the true hours you're open, unlike many other places. It really hit the spot after a day of intense hiking. Can't wait to come back, save some cauliflower for me! Cheers, Liana

We were able to substitute adobado (marinated pork) for the Carne Asada Fries. The fries were crunchy and the meat was flavorful. The only issue was the guacamole as it seemed to be mixed with something. The price for the size of the plate seemed excessive. The tacos were bought individually ($4 each) we got Pollo, Carnitas, Adobado & Asada. The only negative was the pollo (chicken) as it had no flavor. Both dishes were served with cabbage instead of lettuce which was different but not negative. The gentlemen in the truck were willing to change out anything and very helpful. They were also updating labels on their pictures when we were there to help ppl know what their menu items are. They offered 3 sauces, red, green and a cilantro base. I would recommend them, and if in the area again, would try their tortas.

But when she started adding up the sandwich, drink, curly fries and tacos, and the price came to $12, I asked her to please go back to the original order of one Jr. Chicken sandwich and that price was much more reasonable, though the chicken patty, lettuce and dry bun sandwich itself only rates 1 star with me.
