First sign of a good spot was that all get braddahs and sistas standing in line were speaking Spanish but man was i sad. Pros is that the portion for the burrito was fat esp for the price. They stuffed jalapeños in there which was more of a surprise than when I grew my first armpit hair. However was just mid nothing stand outish. Bulk approved but only going back for the gains.

I think this place was operated under another name for a while, but the food was always impressive. Not sure if the ownership had changed or whatnot, but this is our first visit since they became "Tacos Bandits." Food tasted pretty much the same as the former truck, with a bit twist on the menu. Great tacos (carnitas is my fav). We had 3 taco plate and fish taco plate, and they were both delish! Great flavors... Note their salsa is on the spicier side (even they call one of them mild or medium) - if you are sensitive to the pepper heat, you may consider asking them to notch it down a bit (or serve them on the side). Another bonus is they are now open on Sundays! Yay!

I was craving about tacos and found this new place. It was on the same area of 76 gas station and a convenient store and McDonald's was nearby. During lunch time, I saw many people were in line and they offered many seats for dining. I ordered no.5 street taco plate and no. 6 fish taco plate and no.5 came with either water or soda. The staff was friendly and efficient and gave me ticket for picking up my Togo order later. I noticed that there was specials on blackboard. Owner, Bobby, was friendly and helpful. When we tried it at home, they were very delicious and I liked garnish, green pepper and radish. We enjoyed it very much and will definitely visit often.

Delicious vegetarian tacos!! Completely loaded with rice, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, guac. Flavorful and filling. I didn't even need sauce! So much better than the other places using mushrooms and zucchini. Also got a gigantic cheese quesadilla for less than $5! Amazing

This was my order and was delicious! Carne asada plate. Add some of their salsas and the flavor is magical!

Found this hidden gem and glad to see it here at yelp! Good flavor! Good price! I got the asada plate and came with rice and tortillas! Be carful the cooked habaneros next to the meat are delicious but very spicy! The cooked onions are delicious! The rice was a dream as well as the beans! Now the meat itself nicely done! Service was great! Both the lady at the cashier was friendly and the guy cooking was very friendly! Ambiance, it is a food truck so you can eat in your car once you get parking which is easy to do since isn't too crowded. Also, they have a nice seating area under a shade!

I go to a lot of taco trucks so was excited when I saw a new one. I was kinda sad when it came time to eating it tho. I tried the quesabirra and the street tacos. The quesabirra was not great and that's a stretch. On the other hand street tacos are kinda hard to mess up.. these we're okay. I don't know everything was kinda middle of the road. Nothing that would make me want to drive over to get them. My mom ordered some veggie mulitas. No specific veggies. Basically just lettuce and pico. So if you don't eat meat, it's kinda like they don't care.

We showed up right before closing and rather than turning us away the woman on shift served us and was super kind. While the food was just okay in quality. The portions were well sized and you got exactly what you would expect. Unlike other food trucks, they had a little picnic area which was nice to be able to sit and eat rather than find somewhere on the ground or only having the option to get to go. I probably will never go back but I did appreciate the customer service. read more

I love their food!! They have everything I want!: milanesa (breaded beef), and sopes!!! But these last couple of times they haven't had them! These are the best tacos around for sure! We drive all the way to Kirkland just to get them :) Staff is fast delivering the tacos. Yes, the guy at the front is silly and likes to joke. Some people are not used to his style. Be prepared and just don't let him push you on your decisions :) He has always helped me and I like to think he's a good person :) It can get busy, but still enough parking. My only issue is when driving from the other side, I have to go all the way up to turn to the right side. read more

Better than many other Mexican options around! Trust me! I've been to several Mexican restaurants all across the west coast and this burrito doesn't disappoint. It is different than your usual fast food burritos but it tasted great! Packed with all the good things such as fries, guacamole, pico and cheese I just loved my California burrito! The service was fast and friendly! Since It is a food truck we got to enjoy the outdoors while enjoying the food. Most definitely will be back soon!

I got the combo - Hawaiian chicken + karaage requesting extra salad instead of rice, as well as a half order of loco moco. It's nice that there is half order as a lot of Hawaiian restaurants tend to be full orders so it is incredibly hard to try a variety of options if you're solo or in a small group. The Hawaiian chicken and karaage both are juicy and delicious. It's great that the combo is the same price as the standard individual options so I got to try more variety without paying extra. I looked at the reviews and opted to remove the rice and get extra salad which was a good move - their chop chop salad is very delicious with a nice balance of dressing, cheese, and ham. I still had some rice from the loco moco, which was sufficient for me. The loco moco is good - I wished the patty was a bit less tough but the gravy and egg make up for it. Overall, great value and great food. I'd be a regular if I didn't live so far from Kirkland (1 hr drive for food can be challenging in busy schedules)

When you own your own espresso machine and Matcha at home it's hard to justify getting such expensive drinks unless there is that "I can't make this at home" appeal - housemade syrups, Boba, etc I do love that urban coffee lounge has pour over options which can be time-consuming and cold brew, which is delicious and also more time-consuming. I appreciate their presence in the neighborhood. Having lived in Seattle for so long with so much access to incredible coffee I appreciate urban coffee lounges level of expertise with coffee. It is more rare on the east side. (Zoka is great of course!) And I will keep coming back, but sparingly due to prices. (Am I the only one who feels this way? Let me know!) Thanks for being here, urban coffee lounge!

There was a long line when I arrived around 10am on a Thursday. So if you're in a hurry either take…read moreadvantage of their online ordering or plan a head. They do have a restroom, plenty of seating outside, kinda limited seating inside. They do have a wide array of offerings. I got the spinach and feta quiche with a strawberry matcha. The spinach quiche was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed that. My strawberry matcha was not too sweet (I usually ask for everything half sweet and did not this time). The staff were friendly. Prices are reasonable for this day and age. I sat outside and enjoyed the sun! It's a great place to hang out, probably not great for groups unless you sit outside. Dogs are not allowed inside, so tie them up or have a buddy watch them while you go inside. Parking is street or under an apartment complex near by. Not sure if you pay or validate inside those apartment retail parking garages because I parked along the side streets. Park Mobile is the app you use to pay for parking. I paid about $4 ish for an hour. Overall, if I'm in the area and got the time to hangout, it's a cute place to do so.

A lot of competition has popped up, but this is still by far the best option for a frozen treat on…read morethe Kirkland waterfront. I'm lactose intolerant so tend to steer towards the sorbets, but when I've had the proper gelatos they've been sublime! despite their being free of dairy or fat, they somehow manage to make the sorbets taste genuinely creamy! more than one friend I've brought here has said this spot is the equal of any gelato they had in Italy proper! Yes I've heard this more than once. The staff have always been pleasant and your kids will appreciate how generous they are with samples!

Sirena Gelato has been at the Park Lane address for as long as I can remember, which means decades…read more They were half its current size before expanding into the left half for more interior seats. Their business is BOOM or crickets depending on the weather... For the recent visit, we chose the two scoops of rose water and pandan. Both are truly excellent. Both have its discernable flavor in a good way. I highly recommend both flavors, which I suspect are rotating flavors. Service was friendly. I honestly think they have excellent gelato; by itself, it would have been five stars. I also honestly think their prices are hella expensive. $7.95 for one scoop. $8.95 for the two scoops stack on top of each other in the same small cup. Downtown Seattle gelato shop charges $5.95 and $7.95 respectively. They need to lower their prices.

I will just mention one thing. I ordered a sandwich and 2…read morecups of drinks (all for my self to enjoy). They kindly cut the sandwich into 2 halves just in case there are two of us sharing. I used to work in a bubble tea store, I know how busy and fast paced there are. Only people who really care for their customers can pay attention to such small details like they do. Try their Vietnam Style sandwich with a cup of coffee. You won't regret it.

The Ding Tea in Kirkland is paired up with 36 Streets for specialty coffee and waffles. I have…read morevisited twice now. Service is friendly taking my order (first time) but also can be distracted-hectic (second time). The interior is basic. I didn't stay. Both visits were to-go. Be aware that parts of this Juanita area, including the streets, are part of the development and is NOT regular city-parking. They are notorious for ferocious private parking meter-readers (not part of the city). Be sure to read the sign before leaving the vehicle. The Drinks and Food: Chocolate Oolong Milk Tea, $6.75(L) - 3.5 Stars The cashier said this is their most popular drinks. It still tasted quite sweet at 30% sweetness. Hubby said it tastes more like a chocolate milk. Ding it, he's right. (See what I did there.) Egg Coffee, $6.25 - 4 Stars Egg coffee is a northern Vietnamese specialty. Being in a paper cup takes away some of the charm, but such as is the U.S. lifestyle. It tasted as expected, a stronger, more roasted Viet coffee flavor. Mango Ice Tea, $6.75 - 3.5 Stars This is more of a mango drink with some tea taste - very fruity tea. Pandan Bubble Waffle, $7 - 4 Stars I came the second time mostly for this waffle. Served with whip cream and toasted coconut flake, the cashier looked at me like I grew an extra eye when I said whip cream only, no coconut. She literally didn't know how to respond to me. I am guessing they pre-pack the cream with the coconut already in it, and she didn't have time to pack another one. She handed us the bag with what we didn't want and left. I should lower the rating more, but I do like this waffle.
