Came here for the first time and can definitely say I'll be back! First off, service was insanely good. Just really good people making really good food. The guy who took our order was so friendly and genuine. He recommended the tortas and said his favs for tacos are al pastor and the campechano meats, which is what I went with. Tacos had lots of meat and lots of flavors. I also liked that the sauces they had (not pictured) came in squeeze bottles for easy dispensing. The tortas were similarly great and had crispy cheese! I got one carnitas and one al pastor torta. Since 2 come in an order they're great for sharing. Meats were very flavorful, probably some of the better ones I've had at a Mexican restaurant. Ambiance was casual. Bench seating and nothing fancy, but very clean and well maintained. Just felt like such a good, honest business and it's not often I feel that kind of warmth when I eat out.

This place!! Omg.. we love this taco and tortas place in Burien. We have always stopped by for dinner and they run out of few meat options but always have the one I love - Longainza.. i absolutely love their tortas and order their longainza torta and devour every bite of it.. they have 4 sauces and each of them compliment the torta and elevate the flavors!! Love their spiciest and second spicy one - but I am a total spice lover so drizzle at your own risk. There is plenty of indoor seating and food is served pretty quick. Reasonably priced tortas and portion size is good to stuff one up solid. Staff is friendly and you always have regulars stop by. They have ample parking. I cant wait to stop by and try their al pastors cos I am sure they will taste divine. See you soon again.

This place lives up to (and exceeds) the hype! As a Californian living in Seattle, I can definitely recommend Paco's Tacos for great tasting Mexican food. I was also so happy with the amount of kindness/friendliness we were shown by the employees! They primarily have pork options for meat with asada being the only beef option. I do wish they had chicken, but I can appreciate how they keep their menu small and simple. I also don't mind too much because the asada tacos were DELICIOUS! I didn't need any type of sauce on my asada tacos because they were just that good. They also give a very generous portion of meat, so much that I was able to split my taco into two by using both my tortillas! I was also able to do this because the corn tortillas were sturdy and didn't rip. These were definitely my favorite tacos around the Seattle area. Come support Paco's Tacos!!! TIP: They do not serve the entire menu daily as they rotate the options. From what I remember, they only do al pastor on Thursday through Sunday (or Friday through Sunday, I forgot... I would call to make sure they have what you want!).

Found the place on Yelp, so came out to try some "bussin tacos" haha. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted. We walked up to the counter to order, and the workers were all super kind and warm. We ordered, sat, and our food came out to us pretty quickly. I ordered the torta with carnitas and longainza. The bread was warm, toasted, and fluffy with the perfect crunch. They cook the meat on a slice of cheese and fold it up to add to the sandwich so it's like a little cheese blanket around the meat. So cute. The meat itself was really good. I enjoyed the carnitas a lot. But I wish the tortas came with more toppings. It's good, but it wasn't bussin Overall, a very solid place. They load their tacos with the most meat I've seen in awhile, and the meats themselves are good. But still have yet to find a good place to get tortas.

[starting back left, clockwise] ASADA, AL PASTOR, and CARNITAS Y CUERITOS tacos

Paco's Tacos is the talk of the town (at least on Yelp and Google Reviews, which is how I found them!). My boyfriend and I tried Paco's Tacos for the first time this past week and were very impressed by the food and service. Paco's Tacos is not your average taco place as they serve unique meats choices including: Al Pastor (thinly sliced pork with pineapple), Arabes, Orientales, Asada (beef), Longainza (which is like chorizo), Campechano (Asada and Longainza), and Carnitas y Cueritos (pork mixed with pieces of pickled pork fat). Their tacos are all served street style and come with a double tortilla and are topped with minced onions and cilantro. They also serve Combinations, which are plates of veggies and meat with tortillas on the side so that you can assemble your own tacos. Additionally, they offer chicharrones (deep fried pork skin), tortas (sandwiches), and some other dishes that I was unfamiliar with like bombitas, gringa, and sabrosas. They unfortunately didn't have Arabes or Orientales available, but my boyfriend and I ordered one of each taco type that they did have available. Each taco was $3.75, and so a little on the pricier side, but still affordable, considering that they are pretty generous with the meat. With a Mexican drink, the total came to around $30 for everything including tax and tip. AL PASTOR - this was our favorite. The pork was basically shaven into jerky like slices and very well marinated. ASADA- the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. Can't complain here. LONGAINZA - the sausage had great savory and spicy taste. CAMPECHANO - the best of both asada and longainza. I think the combination really worked well here and I would get this again. CARNITAS Y CUERITOS - this was interesting. I had no idea what cueritos were until I looked it up on Google. As someone who doesn't normally enjoy fatty meat or blocks of meat fat, this wasn't for me. However, it was cool trying a new dish. Don't forget to try their homemade salsas! They have verde, chipotle, rojo, and one other that looks like sriracha mayonaise that is deceivingly, the spiciest of them all (which the woman working there warned us about). The last one definitely leaves some tingling heat in your mouth. We liked the chipotle the best as it had the perfect touch of sweetness (perhaps honey?). Service was fantastico! All workers were very friendly and personable; even the workers cooking asked how our day was going. They brought out within 10 minutes or less too. According to Google, they are open from 3pm - 10pm everyday, so a great place for dinner or a late night snack! They share a parking lot with some other businesses in the plaza, but they have about 6 spots or so reserved specifically for just their business. The atmosphere is very fun and casual. Our table wasn't wiped yet, but other than that, everything looked very clean and updated. Overall: 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 4.5/5 for atmosphere

Pacos Taco's is a hidden gem in Burien. As soon as you walk in, you're warmly greeted by the family. Dante, such a nice guy, helped recommend some items. I ended up getting the Campechano, Carnitas y Cueritos, and Asada tacos, along with an order of Tortas, which was packed with flavor. Each taco had its own unique taste, served on warm tortillas. Something about their finely diced onions and cilantro just made everything better. they serve four different sauces. The green one was my favorite, but watch out one of them is very spicy. The inside has a cozy vibe with fun music playing. Definitely give this place a try.

Finally made the drive here after all the videos online. I got there on a Friday around 7pm and unfortunately they were sold out of a few different meats but I usually prefer asada anyways which they had! I got the Tortas and poblanitas. The torta might easily be the best I've had in Washington. There are lots of options too, especially in nearby(ish) cities like Renton and Kent. The star of the show (besides all the food) was the salsas. The spiciest one had so much flavor with the right amount of heat. There is some seating inside but not that much, it wasn't as busy as I expected for a Friday night though so I didn't wait long! The woman at the front helped me pick what to get and she was very friendly!

Very friendly. Very helpful. Extremely clean. Quality ingredients. Like the array of salsas. Adequate, comfortable seating. Will definitely be back often.

Wow. If I can give this place more than 5 stars than I would. This place exceeded all of my expectations. I always order the same type of meat (carne asada) but was able to try other meats. I will only branch out of my comfort zone for this place. Everything we've tried has been amazing and we can't stop craving it. They load up the tacos and you don't even need to add anything to it because the taco is loaded with flavor and meat is super juicy. Although, they do have 4 sauces when you dine in and they're all really good. Some of them have a nice kick to it. This has become my favorite #1 spot for taco's and we're already planning our next visit. The service here is phenomenal. They are so kind and food comes out super fast.

So many great things about this place! Service is awesome and the servers are very friendly; it was nice striking up a conversation when they asked my friend and me about how we heard of their place (Seattle Foodie does it again :) ). The interior's so well-kept and the tables are pretty clean too, though there's not a ton of seating, so you'll want to get here early and hopefully you'll snag a parking spot at the awfully limited parking lot and beat the crowds. For reference I got here on a Friday weeknight at around 5:30pm and seats were almost filled up close to 6pm. I got two tortas, one with campechano - a combination of asada and longainza - and the other asada. Then I added in two tacos, one campechano and the other carnitas y cueritos (meats and pig skin). My friend got similar dishes here. The servers gave me four sauces to try and even warned me about one of the sauces (a pale peach one) being very spicy, but that sauce actually turned out to be the best one out of the four for me (because I love spicy)! Now for the food: - The tortas were sooooo tasty! You could do a really nice cheese pull with it, and the baguette they use reminds me of a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich a lot. Meat was very well-flavored in the campechano torta and the spicier sauce complemented this one the best. Had a good bunch of onions in here to balance out the savoriness of the meat. - Both tacos were pretty small but still tasted just as delicious! The cueritos taco was a pleasant one and flavors were rich and strong in it, especially when adding the green sauce. The campechano worked well with any of the four sauces. I love this place very much, and my first time here was over-the-top delicious! I'm looking forward to coming back here for their other stuff :)

I'm a little upset... because I didn't know about this place and it's been open for a year!!! This is probably my new favorite taco spot! First of all Paco and his son Dante and his wife Liz are super nice. Dante greeted us and made us feel welcome right away, a genuine nice guy! They made a point to talk to all of their customers granted it wasn't that busy when we were there, but they came out from behind the counter and asked how everybody was doing and how the food was. The space was very clean! Food: Tacos were great! The don't skimp on the meat! We got Al Pastor and Carne Asada. They were simple and delicious; seasoned meat, onions cilantro and lime and pineapple nothing fancy just really good!!. We also had the Tortas with the same meats. The Torta's were great they came out on a little mini roll that tasted like it just came out of the oven. The bread resembled the same great bread you when you get a Bahn Mi sandwich! My daughter loved the quesadillas! Tasted just like the ones we had in Mexico last month! The house made Chicharrón were crunchy with just the right amount of salt and are served with lime and tortillas to make you own tacos. 4 house made sauces from sweet to pretty hot!! This place is great will definitely be back for sure!!!

I want to encourage everyone to go to Paco's Tacos ASAP! My daughter and I were peckish Friday night and she recommended Pacos, in the old Burien Herfy's location. Their food was so good! We got beautiful, fresh chicharrones which came with lime wedges and tortillas. We got two tacos each in addition to our chicharrones. I got a glass coke and my daughter got a Diet Coke to wash down our delicious meals. We were making steady progress when one of the proprietors approached our table and gave us two more tacos to try, and they were free! The new additions had two kinds of meat with cheese melted beneath and they were to die for! See my photo to appreciate how pretty this excellent food was. The two workers at Pacos Tacos were welcoming and courteous. Their generosity was greatly appreciated! We'll be back to Pacos Tacos for the scrumptious flavors and excellent service. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but this taco joint absolutely deserves the love. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and a warm welcome that made me feel like a regular--even though it was my first visit. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell they care deeply about both the food and the people who walk through their doors. It's rare to find a spot where hospitality feels this authentic. If you're looking for incredible tacos served with heart, this is the place. I'll definitely be back--and bringing friends! read more

I found this spot off a TikTok and decided to check it out and thank goodness for the algorithm that put it on my FYP. First, the food was beyond amazing. We got al pastor and asada tacos, al pastor and campechano tortas, the mis chicharrones and some Jamaica to go. All the food was beautifully seasons and came with ample limes which sometimes aren't enough. The service was beyond excellent. Our host was very welcoming and helped us decide what we wanted to get. He was super chill and the ambiance of the whole place was on par with the food and location. This might be my new favorite taco spot. I'm trying to be a regular and know the staff by name. Highly recommend Paco's Tacos to anyone wanting to add a new taco spot to their rotation. I'll be back very soon! read more

Friends brought us here after raving about it and it did not disappoint. Got an order of the tortas (which comes with 2) and I love the fact that you can mix and match your meats. The compechano is a mix of carne asada and potatoes and the carnitas and cueritos has fatty pork that was so fire it made my toes curl. I really liked the bread they used here for the tortas, which resembles in taste and texture to a Vietnamese baguette for me. My only critique is that the ratio of bread to meat could be better. A little too much bread and not enough meat. Service was extremely friendly and warm. Will try the tacos on our next return. read more

The seasoning on the meat was so flavorful that it didn't need any additional sauce. The owners were beyond nice and showed exceptional hospitality, making the experience even better.

Ok. I am NOT joking when I say this place is THE ABSOLUTE BOMB. I love food. All kinds of food, but especially food made in small, local joints because you know that they LOVE food too. I had the ASADA TORTA sandwich. It was amazing. I am obsessed. The bread was perfection. Crispy, chewey on the outside and soft on the inside. The ASADA was perfect. I dumped their red sauce and squirted lime on each half. OMG. A flavor explosion. Not too spicy, full of yummy greatness. The chicharonnes brought me right back to my childhood. So perfectly crispy and flavorful. I saw the tacos being served while I was there and almost strayed from my torta. Thank goodness i didn't. The best sandwich I have had in forever. Service with a professional, adorable smile and quick. EAT HERE. You will not regret it! Check the menu, as it varies. read more

The Centro Bowl is consistently satisfying and never disappoints. Great flavors and a solid, reliable choice every time. The Tlayuda, however, was a bit underwhelming. It was difficult to eat and the portion felt small, leaving us wanting more. Overall, we still enjoy Centro for its atmosphere and dependable dishes, good service. We'll definitely be back, and the Centro Bowl will remain our go-to order.

On top of that, the customer service was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

What grabbed…read moreour attention with it was that they serve Huitlacoche which I'd a corn fungus which is a delicacy in Mexico and Central America. It's something that is pretty rare to find with all of the Mexican restaurants I have been to El Catrin is the only one where it has been found. We had it on the side with rice, lettuce and tomato. The flavor for it is mushroom like with a sweet, savory, woody and smoky flavor that is corn like. It was very unique and delicious! In addition to that we got some totally awesome nachos which out of this world! We made a second trip back here and I got their Chile Relleno which totally blew me away! It was fabulous! The tortillas that came with it were simply marvelous! Steve got an excellent quesadilla! The wait may be a tad long but it's so worth waiting for. I really can't praise the food enough! We are located in Tacoma and El Catrin is in an unincorporated Seattle neighborhood and so the drive is at least half an hour on a good day but we wouldn't hesitate in making a trip up here just for this restaurant! I can't say that for many restaurants but I certainly would with El Catrin. Fresh, flavorful and a sheer delight we will be coming here with any opportunity we can seize!

Me and my coworker went up there and decided that we are going to get some delicious new food and try it out and check out the joint and we were mouse dropped amazed. I was so excited to see the food options that were coming out from the back cute little room that says 'pick up here'. I got to the lady who was taking our order and was able to make a decision and land on the whiskey, bacon sandwich, even though it was lunchtime I really wanted to try the breakfast and then I ended up getting a hazelnut latte and it was the creamiest smoothest tastes, no kickback no bitter tasting coffee, but I've tasted in a really long time. I will say I got a lot of people telling me that and I was just no under the impression that they may haven't had any good coffee lately, but I was wrong, I'll admit that no problem, you have to try the coffee.!!!! Then I sunk my teeth right into the most delicious breaky Sammie, and I was not even surprised. I knew this place was going to be the best. The tastiest the most delicious food that I search and hunt for!!! These salads ladies are looking very tasty- dare you come check this place out! I was very much so a fan! As in sipping on this coffee writing this review, ie realized I do drinks with more than two questions, black, cream and sugar, and then I tried their non bitter, and tasty coffee - wow It's super booming and I know their new so I'm wait a bit more before I return - but allll I can think about is how tasty more of the food is! OH yah and they're open 7am to 7pm - this is what I'm talking about!

The atmosphere is like an ice cream parlor and candy store that serves salads and sandwiches along with both draft beer and hard cider. It's a bit confusing, but I knew a sandwich was what I wanted. I went to the counter to order the Turkey Club, and my wife wanted the Turkey Brie, but they were out of turkey--so the alternative was ham. I ordered the Ham + Brie for my wife, and I ordered the Italian. We got some water from the self-serve water station, but it ended up tasting like tap water. Our buzzer went off, and somehow my order turned into yet another Ham + Brie. So now I was on my wife's choice, which I didn't remember making, but I just decided to enjoy the moment. In reality, the Ham + Brie should be called "Toast with a load of fig jam, no brie + ham." My mouth is still tasting the sweet jam; the ham was good - couldn't remember the brie, but I just only could taste the jam. Overall, I thought the atmosphere was a bit too much like being in a Molly Moon's. They didn't have turkey, and they (or maybe I) misordered the wrong sandwich. The process of ordering the food, water service, pick up the food and busting the table is self-serve, I left completely underwhelmed with Nelle's.

Period. No notes. I've been here a couple of times now, and everything I've had has been memorable, which is not something I say lightly about sandwiches- a category that can betray you! The Ragnar's Club is a stellar concoction of herb roasted chicken breast, bacon, cheese, and apple jalapeño slaw. It's a delicious mess. The kind where things are happening all at once and every single thing is a good idea. Absolutely outstanding. On my most recent visit, I had the Fidel Cashflow, which features some of the most tender, perfectly seasoned pork belly I've had on a sandwich. It's like an Uber Cubano--familiar, comforting, but leveled up with serious execution. Two visits, two excellent sandwiches, which now has me fully convinced that everything on the menu is as good as it looks. I trust them. I would let them choose my sandwich destiny. Service is super friendly. You order at the counter, but you're met with genuine smiles and a helpful, welcoming attitude that makes you feel like you made a very good life choice. Parking isn't the easiest, but you'll figure it out. The space itself is tiny, with just a few tables, so while you can eat there, a lot of people seem to grab it to go--presumably to eat it somewhere quiet and reflect on how good it was. Sandwich shops are a dime a dozen. Really good ones are a special find. This is a really good one. Destination-worthy

I love that they had a themed menu where they had their usual items but gave them geeky names to fit the theme of the event. I got their Po Mo'fo with the mac salad and side of their roasted potatoes and coleslaw. Now here is where I had my biggest issue is that the service was very lacking, the person taking my order didn't greet or read back my order, they got my order wrong by giving my side with my sandwich wrong and the original side order got put into the small box instead. I was really hungry and already annoyed with the lack of service so I just let it slide but it is upsetting when I ordered things specifically and it wasn't heard or done correctly. The potatoes were okay, not as flavorful or good as I thought they'd be. The coleslaw and mac salad were absolutely delicious and I really wish my mac salad was the one that came with my sandwich as I originally ordered as I ate most of it. The sandwich itself was good too, the shrimp was very tasty! I would like to try them again in the future but I hope I don't get the same cashier as he really ruined the experience for me.

If I could rate this place higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would. This is one of my all-time favorite places to eat. The food is consistently amazing, and you can tell it's a family-operated restaurant that truly cares about both its customers and the quality of every meal they serve. What really makes this place special is the service. Every visit has been met with genuine friendliness and hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, making it one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. I used to live in Burien and miss being so close to this gem. Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop by because it's just that good. Great food, wonderful people, and an experience that keeps me coming back. I can't recommend this place enough. read more
