    Sauce bottles
    Jonny M.

    Checked out Tacos El Rey for a late lunch. They're a food truck but have a warm, covered sitting area. Second location is out in Arlington. We dropped in on a late Friday afternoon (2:45pm). Food came out within five minutes. Two sauce bottles; salsa verde (nice unexpected kick) and salsa roja. - 4x Tacos - lengua ($3.25 USD), asada ($3.00 USD), birria ($3.25 USD) and chorizo ($3.00 USD). Favourite was the lengua. Chorizo was packed. Asada and birria were a touch dry. Grilled onions were nicely done - Enchiladas ($14.00 USD) - opted for adobada. Best of the meats we tried. No sauce but still flavourful. Rice was solid, beans unmemorable

    I love birria tacos, so I was sold when this place came up in my results! The quesabirria tacos themselves were delish and the consume was as expected. The beans and rice were disappointing, but that wasn't my main objective anyways. The HORCHATA though. DELISH. Probably the best horchata I've had. Enjoyed so much that I forced myself to same some for the next day's latte (which, I highly recommend!). Salsas were really good too. Nice workers, and they have a covered waiting area. They also had some seating if you wanted to eat on site.

    Absolutely delicious, flavorful, perfectly portioned food. Doesn't matter what you choose off the menu, it's all good. The service is super fast, we sat down and got up ~30 seconds later to get our order. This is a food truck but there is a covered, porched-in sitting area on site that is super insulated, so even if it's cold and rainy you'll have somewhere to sit. My only complaint is that it's 40+ minutes from where I live! So whenever I travel north, I always try to incorporate this truck for a meal on the way home--it's that good.

    Soooo good!! Authentic Mexican food!

    Authentic delicious Mexican food! Worth the drive from anywhere in western Washington. The torta was so delicious the carnitas were perfect. The burritos are on point. Being from Southern California, this is the closest I've gotten to a real authentic Mexican taco truck since being in Washington. The red and green salsa are also amazing! I would buy it if it was jarred. So worth it! Only 5 minutes from the freeway exit.

    This review is for the truck located on 172nd in Arlington. I've tried the tacos, burritos, and tortas over the last few months. The food is really authentic and I highly recommend the asada, lengua, and tripa meat options. The burritos have beans, rice, avocado, pickled jalapeño and lettuce . I order without lettuce...warm lettuce is no bueno. Tacos come with grilled onions, raw chopped onions and cilantro. Their green salsa is bomb! 4 star because it's hit and miss when the truck will be there and consistency is presentation is lacking at times. But otherwise, probably the best truck in Arlington/Marysville.

    Two asada tacos on the left, two lengua tacos on the right.

    It has been years since I've had this truck but it's still sooo good. My husband was coming back from golf and asked if I wanted something. Couldn't decide between tacos or a burrito and ended up with 2 asada and 2 lengua tacos. The asada was a bit dry but good flavor, the lengua was spot on and very tender. He got the pork wet burrito which I had a bite of and definitely getting that next time. What a delight - don't walk, run for your next great meal.

    The queso birria with consome is an excellent choice. The consome really adds to the flavor. I prefer the green sauce.

    Good prices, REAL carne asada. They make Birria Tijuana look like dog water and they're only a food truck vs a chain restaurant.

We ate family style at the Arlington Farmer's Market & Car Show yesterday, trying almost everything on their menu. Their food truck stands out with its decorative art exhibiting exactly what they stand for: fusion cuisine that's both different and fun! After ~20 years with an Ilocano family always around traditional Filipino and Hawaiian foods, Fil Up is an extremely nice detour from the traditional Filipino dishes into a mouth-watering binge of flavor that we didn't expect, didn't know we needed, and now will continue following. The Pork Belly Sliders have a perfect balance of spice to flavor that made us want more until we tried the Sisig Tacos, which are easily our favorite with the right amount of crunch (without being overdone). It's difficult for most people to enjoy Sisig, but even my non-Asian friends loved these and we ended up getting two more orders of them to share between us. This food truck obviously knows how to take traditional Filipino dishes that many people would not like and create something that everyone will enjoy! Being an adobo traditionalist that's very picky with the flavor, I have tried many people's adobo over the past 2 decades and found that I typically only like mom's. So, when my friends ordered the chicken adobo plate, I wasn't planning on having any. When they liked it, I tried one bite and was shocked, then tried again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It was slightly different than mom's, then my eyes widened as a thought crossed my mind: I actually really enjoy someone else's adobo! The Mac Salad is tied for 2nd with Volcano Grille's (both behind Zippy's; sorry, just can't beat Zippy's mac salad and no one's changing my mind). The lumpia is what I came up calling Shanghai since it's the smaller variety. The chef must put a lot of love into these because each and every one is uniform, tight, and filled with delicious flavor. I like that they serve the sweet chili sauce on the side for the extra balance, not needed but a good addition every few rolls. We also tried their Ma Loko Moco, a tribute to the Hawaiian favorite. The best part: they drown it in gravy! Mo' sauce, mo' betta! This is another good flavor twist, but come hungry if you want to try more than just this plate because it's filling. Last, but certainly not least, their mango sago was AMAZING, especially because it was so hot outside. Sorry (not sorry) no picture because it was so hot we each devoured our dessert. In short, it was refreshing and very yummy...a must buy! Overall, this food truck really surprised us, provided us with something different, something fun, and did it all with a pleasant smile even on a scorching summer day. We will find them again!

    I recently tried this food as it was the catering food from my job. I am not the most familiar with…read morePhilippine food, but I will say this what quite delicious. I went with the Sissy tacos because in my mind, I can never go wrong with tacos. Would most likely visit again if I see them.

    This last weekend my wife and I were out and about finishing shopping and wanted to pick something…read moreup for lunch I had noticed a hotdog stand in a shopping store parking lot and had been thinking about giving them a try but they were a no show. So heading north we noticed a taco stand across from one of the chain burger places. Why wife knows how much I like street tacos so it was a no brainer. There was one customer ahead of so we had time to decide Both of us chose the taco plate, they showed three different options on the menu so we asked if we could have one of each which they said sure you get beans and rice as your sides. I notice that Elotes was also available so had to have that too!! It's nice that they have a debit card reader which made payment easier. Seams like a family run stand with mom running the show with dad manning the grill, I'm guessing their daughter takes orders and handles the toll plus helping where need. Everyone was friendly the order was given to us quickly. Now they were in a parking lot I didn't notice any tables but that was ok home is close and everything was hot when we got home. Each of the three tacos was moist and nicely seasoned. The beens and rice are pretty typical fare but good! Now the Elotes was delicious a corn on the cob dipped in a savory sauce dusted with a cheese powder with a drizzle of not a hot hot sauce but it has a little zing you gotta try it! I was looking to see if this stand was on Yelp when we ordered but couldn't find anything maybe I miss spelled the name so no pictures this time, sorry but next time I'll do better! Nice to have an option like this in the lake Stevens area will definitely be back.

    So glad they are at the Stanwood Farmer's Market! When my husband finished his 4 carne asada tacos,…read morehe immediately said he could eat 8 more of them... Clearly, we will be back for more in the near future!
