What a great dining experience after a very disappointing experience at another local Mexican…read moreRestaurant. We popped in here late on Mother's Day Eve. Got seated immediately, and greeted very shortly thereafter. Tony / Antonio was not only our server but also our mixologist. The place was buzzing but not out of control, a good mellow vibe of people. We had the Chicken Tacos and the chicken enchiladas (with Beans & Rice). Wow, what great flavor and volume of food. We really enjoyed our meals, and plan to avoid the other place, and spend more time here. Thank you!

I usually just get takeout from here but tonight I dined in with some family…read more The food was fantastic but unfortunately the service was absolutely awful. Our waitress (who did not give her name) was not very friendly or attentive. She even interrupted and skipped my family member as they were beginning to order and asked someone else for their order next. It made no sense and was strange. On top of that she just kind of gave a "I don't want to be here and I'm annoyed" vibe. After we got our bill we noticed that some of the charges were incorrect. A kids meal order was rung up wrong, charging extra money for meat even though it was included, and a kids drink was charged as an adult. We kindly tried to explain that she charged us incorrectly and if she could please fix it. She started explaining that we had ordered the kids burrito not taco, even though we definitely ordered, she definitely inputted, and we were most certainly delivered a kids taco. She then said that we needed to clearly specify that it was a kids lemonade even though it was clearly implied that the lemonade was for a child. I guess that's on us cause we didn't say "kids lemonade"? Like come on... She was not kind or helpful about the issue at all and refused to fix the bill. We left frustrated and discouraged to go back. Be ware of the bad service if you're looking to dine in.

If you happen to be in the area (Costco, REI, and Trader Joe's are practically neighbors) and…read moresuddenly develop an urgent need for legitimately excellent nachos, this is your spot. We've eaten here dozens of times -- easily -- and have never left disappointed. The carne asada is consistently fantastic, and their more traditional dishes are just as solid. Service is reliably friendly, efficient, and refreshingly genuine -- the kind of staff that actually seems to enjoy being there. The one miss? The margaritas. I've worked my way through every flavor, and unfortunately the base tastes suspiciously like Safeway syrup. For a place that does food this well, the cocktails feel like an afterthought. They do have a beautiful patio that's perfect when the weather cooperates, and if you're a nacho-and-cocktail type (same), I strongly recommend ordering a mojito with fresh fruit. Be sure to ask for muddled fruit slices -- otherwise you'll likely get syrup again. It honestly takes just a few cubes of real fruit to completely elevate the drink, and at these prices, it feels like an obvious upgrade management should consider standard-which is why I docked them one star.

Ordered delivery with Uber Eats. $12 guacamole didn't…read morearrive, chips so over-fried they aren't worth eating, two burritos, rice and beans were cold so we had to microwave them. Microwave food we just spent $146 on. It was a fast cook and fast delivery - ordered at 5:05pm and delivered at 5:30pm (we live close and I watched the driver come straight to us). It should have at least been lukewarm, so I'm not sure what happened there. Worst part is, when I called and spoke with the manager on duty to ask about the missing item and mention the cold food, she was defensive and flippant, placing blame on the driver immediately while simultaneously talking down to me (re: the cold food), 'well that happens with delivery. We have no control over the driver'. As if I've never had food delivered. She said to take up the charge for the missing item with Uber Eats - 'That's how it works. There's nothing we can do'. Not even a sincere apology for the undelivered item- Masa's mistake. We have frequented Masa since they opened, with mostly good experiences, but I think we're done. There's just no excuse to be rude and dismissive to your paying customers. A little decorum could have gone a long way. 2 stars for the two out of six items that arrived as expected.

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

The staff was very helpful in allowing us to select the table most likely to be quiet. (Unfortunately a nearby table had two preschoolers who were quite loud but that could not have been predicted when we chose our seats.) The decor of the restaurant was charming and the service was perfect -- we were given enough time to peruse the menu and then the waiter came by to answer questions. Throughout the meal the waiter checked on our satisfaction with the food, but was not intrusive. And both of us were pleased with our orders. I chose an enchilada and my friend had a chile relleno. The restaurant was willing to adjust our orders to our tastes. All in all we would definitely return.

Hands down best tacos in the Seattle area! Super flavorful, authentic, and just as good (if not…read morebetter!) than tacos I've gotten in California. I always get one of each of their veggie tacos and my partner gets a mix of meat and veggie. They have both regular spicy and extra spicy (my favorite) options. Everything is absolutely delicious!

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.

The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!
