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)~

Let me elaborate:…read more Upon being turned away from two (!) unnamed Japanese izakaya up the street at 8:17pm on a rainy Sunday evening, even though they are posted as open until 9pm, my little trio fell into the warm, glowing, hip-hop infused embrace of Lupe's Situ Tacos. The hushwe meat? Excellent. The carnitas are "out of this world" (ant Cowboy Bebop fans?). The guacamole felt home-made in the best way. My partner's spicy chicken tortilla soup was delicious -- spicy but not too much so, with a lovely smoky note to it. The service was quick and cheerful. They let us hang out for a few minutes and write our reviews and finish our Jarritos -- even after close. The ambiance was great: colorful, cheerful, and energetic without being overwhelming. The playlist was eclectic and very cool. We heard Lupe Fiasco, Deltron 3030, and hip hop from around the world. If you find yourself wandering around Ballard looking for a satisfying, cozy meal, you cannot go wrong with Lupe's Situ Tacos!

Busy kitchen? Not enough staff? We waited a while for our food.

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.

She was dressed in the most beautiful Día de los Muertos-inspired makeup and outfit, and she brought such a warm, welcoming energy to the whole experience. It really made the meal feel special from the moment we walked in. She took our order herself and surprised us with complimentary conchas on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. As someone who loves Mexican pastries, that instantly won me over. For food, I ordered the pozole and it was incredible rich, comforting, and full of flavor. My mom and sister got the fish tacos and they couldn't stop talking about them. Fresh, well-seasoned, and just really well done overall. This place made my mom's birthday lunch feel so memorable. Between the amazing food and the hospitality, we'll definitely be coming back for both the pozole and fish tacos again.

Zero stars for service. I spoke with Tacos Chukis a week ago about getting taco platters for a small event. They only communicate over email and their response is very slow. Over the course of days I told them what I wanted...twice. They finally asked for the information to send me an invoice and when I sent them that info they asked for more info and gave a very short deadline. Being a working human, I don't constantly have my phone so I missed their manufactured deadline by an hour. I trusted them to do what they said they would do and they reneged at the last minute. They decided they couldn't complete the order THE DAY I needed it. I called and was given the runaround. I was not able to get the name of anyone to speak with who had any authority. I was told they can't give out that information. I can see why; with such lousy business practices I'm sure people are not happy with them. I will never trust them again. They have lost a lot of future business with me. I'm an event planner and concierge and this is NOT the kind of people I want to work with. They were unprofessional and basically lied to me about providing their service. Zero stars for service. read more

The food is ok, overrated in my opinion, but this business has just been found guilty by the U.S. Department of Labor of engaging in illegal and unscrupulous business practices that screwed their employees out of earned overtime wages. They had to pay almost half a million in damages to their employees because of it. I will not be coming back and suggest others spend their money at more ethical establishments. read more

This place seems to be getting a few stars knocked off their rating for being in a sketchy area…read more And although that may be true, that is certainly not Aliberto's fault. I'm also seeing that people are finding foreign objects in their burrito that might not be found in authentic Mexican burritos (metal ties, hair, etc). What I'm here to say is that sometimes you gotta risk it for some good food. It's absurd to me that there are some very bad Mexican food places around here that have higher ratings than this. Aliberto's has legitimately tasty cuisine and at a reasonable price. I'm not saying that they're all-stars over here. I actually ordered a breakfast burrito at 8:30AM and they gave me some sort of Cali burrito with shrimp, steak and fries in it. The thing that I realized is that I didn't know it at the time, but this was exactly what I needed. Whoever was talking my order said, "Overruled! Give him the Cali!" And it turns out that she was right, I was way happier this way. Who needs eggs when you have steak and fries? The burrito was better than 80% of what I could have gotten in northern Seattle, and it was ENORMOUS. I ended up saving the other half for later. Mostly because I didn't want to eat that much shrimp and steak at 8:30AM, but also because of the sheer volume. I probably won't be back again anytime soon because I don't frequent this area, but if you are in a pinch, this is 100x better than Taco Bell / Taco Time and has a drive through.
