I also noticed the breakfast burritos are served until 3p on weekends. Definitely want to try one of these next time. Great deal. Carry out window only. Can order online ahead - that seems like the move.

Got three tacos, they hit the spot!…read more I got three carne asada tacos, they were incredible. Meat was perfectly cooked, tasty sauce on top, and perfect tortillas. You order from a counter and they call your number. From order to delivery, it was probably only 4 minutes; nice and quick! The tables were clean and the restaurant was tidy. Great spot.

Get there ASAP!…read more Every sip of my mango margarita with tajin and chamoy (fresh and made on-site) was a flavor explosion...literally the best margarita of my life...no joke and I am 51 years old which means I have had many a margarita! The food was right there with the flavors. Every bite was amazing and hot! My friend and I couldn't stop with our amazement. To top it off, we had the best service from Erika and her staff. She and her husband own the restaurant and started the restaurant from a food cart and then opened on Alki. Another is opening on Capitol Hill soon too. They are killing it with their food. Everyone was in great spirits and we just had the best experience eating, having a beverage, and watching a World Cup game. Fire Tacos is right on Alki beach and in the summer, they pull up the garage door side walls and have an open air restaurant! Get there! You will be happy you did! Say hi to Erika!

Went to Carmelo's Tacos on a hungry whim and ended up being so pleasantly surprised. The tortillas…read moreare freshly made and absolutely delicious and you can immediately taste the difference. They accidentally messed up part of our taco order, but the staff was incredibly kind about it. Not only did they quickly fix it, they also gave us an extra taco for free as an apology Totally unnecessary but very appreciated and such a nice gesture. Everything we ordered was delicious. The pollo burrito was flavorful and satisfying, the carne asada tacos were tender and packed with flavor, and the quesadilla had the perfect meat-to-cheese ratio. Yum!! I wish I lived in Seattle for many reasons but late night Carmelo runs is on that list.

We could tell it was going to be good with how busy they were! We were able to snag some tables to sit at inside. The food was so delicious. Quesabirria was on point.

Lupe's, imo, makes the best food in Ballard, and some of the best in the city. Its fresh, its…read moreflavorful, and you can taste the care that was put into it. We have eaten there a few dozen times, bringing pals visiting the city, going literally every time we play a show on the strip-- everyone loves them. The tacos are my favorite, but the queso is dank as helllll making the nachos another fab dish. My partner loves the burritos and quesadillas, though I-- a lover of the crunch --cannot speak for them myself. Are there toothpicks in the tacos? Yes! Not only are these two, structural-support toothpicks clearly visible, there are signs all over the shop about not eating them, and whoever runs your food out mentions them to the table every time. Even the merch / tee shirts tell you to watch out for the toothpicks. Its like the toothpick in a club sandwich, or the stick in a corn dog: you kinda have to want to eat it to end up with it in your mouth, ya know? Are the tacos greasy? Also yes! They're deep fried! That is what happens when you put any pouch-style food in a deep fryer: if it is not perfectly sealed, as it will not be with a toothpick, it'll get some oil inside. If you're not into oily food, maybe deep-fried tacos just aren't for you? As for the folks bashing the service: its standard counter service. If you want table service-- someone to wait on you, come to your table for more than just a drop off, etc --this place isn't for you. I worked in kitchens for two decades. Nothing about Lupe's Situ Tacos is poorly made or lacking flavor-- all three options are unique and flavorful in their own right, but the hushwe is an aaaabsolute dream, and the cauliflower is such a fantastic meat-free choice. Prices are on par with a lot of taco-selling restaurants, so idk what folks are talking about on that front. Mayhaps worth remembering who usually writes reviews on these sites (people who go once and like to bitch vs those of us who actually eat here and don't like yelp conceptually)~

Came by recently to check this place out. We did a late lunch, early dinner....I guess everyone…read moreelse was thinking the same too because when we came by it was busy. You order at the counter, they give you a number, go find a table, they bring the food to you. Pretty straightforward menu to choose from. We got the nachos w/added meat(hushwe) and 2 Pappas tacos. Didn't take too long to get our food, maybe like 10 mins or so. We got lucky finding a table, a couple was nice enough to finish up quickly so we can take their table outside. -Nachos were pretty loaded, chips were crisp, 2 types of cheese(queso and melted cheese), tasty jalapenos, guac, sour cream and pico. Meat (hushwe) was fine, it's pretty minced up into small bits. -Pappas Tacos were good too, kinda like eating mashed potatoes in a taco shell. Also reminded me of a thin shelled empanada. Shell was thin & crisp. Maybe should've just gotten the meat (hushwe) taco. Staff was friendly, prices were what we thought it would be, glad to have come by to check this place out. Don't forget to bus your own table!

The tortillas are fresh and full of corn flavor. The aguas frescas smack like my spiked club into your face. I first tried La Chingona on the road pillaging in Bellevue. I'm so glad I stepped away from the village burning for a second to try their delicious tacos. Is it more expensive than your typical Mexican Plato? Si. Does it taste better than your typical Mexican Plato in Seattle? Si. One other crucial detail. That taco will be buckling under the weight of the toppings. These are not skimpy servings. My shrimp taco was heavy enough to do curls with. Their service is friendly, and precise. To this date, I have never received the wrong order, cold food, a missing drink, etc. Expect hordes of people on the weekends, because you can count on one hand how many Mexican places taste like this in the PNW.

But maybe we came after the lunch crowd and both the fish and the Carne Asada was overcooked. I might Maybe was it just leftover after the lunch crowd. I've never had a less than five star food experience here. Maybe we should just give it another go. I really want to love our experience. This one needed a little bit more salt, but definitely needed to pay attention to not being overcooked. I'm sad.

let's just say that this filled me up with so much food i didn't eat for the next 22 hours…read more for the price (only 12 dollars) that's a ridiculous portion size where to even start these seemed to be soft tacos, but with a full melted cheese covering on both sides of the shell i would say that's my only slight disappointment - that these weren't really crispy at all - there was no real crunch when i would bite into one of them - rather it was just slightly harder than a soft taco the cheese did add a great flavoring to the outside though - making this more than a normal taco shell each taco was absolutely overflowing with stuffing - it got to the point where the plate became another full meal by itself from everything that fell out of the taco the two main components of each taco were the cheese and the chicken the cheese was so perfectly melted - may have been the best cheese in a taco i've ever had it created such a satisfying cheese pull every time you took a bite - and it was one consistency throughout, meaning every time you took a bite you had to pull the cheese away from the rest of the taco - which was just fantstic as for the chicken - i was slightly disappointed that it wasn't spicy in the slightest. However, it still tasted like it had a really nice flavor, and had a soft interior. It being actually spicy would've moved this dish up a lot, though each taco was primarily made out of this chicken - and there was so much of it it was practically insane - but I loved this amount shoutout to the onions as well - they were great I asked for the habanero sauce - which i thought was ok - wasn't spicy at all and didn't add much flavor. will go with another sauce next time tried mixing in some taco bell fire sauce which was interesting i love that these came wrapped in aluminium foil to preserve heat. a great touch overall, as far as taste, these were pretty good, but when you consider the amount of meat you're getting, along with overall portion size - it's simply a fantastic meal.
