    This is one of the best Taco Buses in South King County and all of greater South Seattle communities! They have 3 types of Tacos they sell for $1 and all are tasty. I recommend the Birria! Amazing variety of taco meats from Tongue to Tripe (two of my fav's) as well as solid Carne Asada and carnitas! Their red Salsa is super spicy which I love!! Their small burrito $2 is a great deal and overall they have amazing options in their entire menu! But truly the best part that sets them apart from the competition is that they are open until 11pm at night 7 days a week!! I have their phone number saved to my favorites and they are always super fast on their orders! They are located right on the south border between White Center and Burien across the street from a Papá Murphy's pizza. Within the 1.5 miles of white center they are in there are (5) continuously operating taco trucks and the competition is no joke but these guys are solid! This may be the only Taco Bus in White center where you can dine inside the taco too which is the way to go since their Salsa bar with pickled onions and Habanero peppers is super tasty. Highly recommend you get your Tacos inside the bus sit down and top em with a mix of Salsa, Pico de Gallo, & onions and watch some soccer on the tv inside and enjoy yourself a Tasty taco or two! (5 our if 5 on my Tacazoooooooo meter!) oh yeah their militas are bomb!! Basically a small Carne Asada quesadilla with avocado and salsa Verde!! Sooooo good!!

    $1 tacos!!!

    $1 tacos!! They got me at $1.. & not $1.75+ which is normal nowadays for tacos. I've been here before, and it's always enough to satisfy my cravings. Obviously the popular choice for people in white center is the other 2 trucks nearby but I won't get into that right now.. This older bus has been parked at the corner in burien/white center for the longest time! The first time I ever visited, I got confused and walked to the side of the bus thinking someone will take my order at the window. Noooope, there is the back entrance for you to walk in, order and just hang out while waiting for your food. I called and placed an order & they are so quick to get it done! Honestly, $1 tacos is a great steal! I LOOOOOVE tacos and my usual I can eat is about 5 but other places that would cost me about $7-$8 in which I tell mysef to get a banh mi for half that price and way more fulfilling lol. Today I got 4 for $4 and it was enough to satisfy my cravings but I probably could have chowed down another 4. I definitely thought it lacked onions and cilantro though and I missed my side pieces (beets, carrot, lime, etc) so my meal felt a bit incomplete. Saw from another yelp pic that they do have it.. I guess I just need to ask next time. Definitely will call and order again when I'm craving cheap tacos or burritos!

I've been here a couple of times now, and everything I've had has been memorable, which is not something I say lightly about sandwiches- a category that can betray you! The Ragnar's Club is a stellar concoction of herb roasted chicken breast, bacon, cheese, and apple jalapeño slaw. It's a delicious mess. The kind where things are happening all at once and every single thing is a good idea. Absolutely outstanding. On my most recent visit, I had the Fidel Cashflow, which features some of the most tender, perfectly seasoned pork belly I've had on a sandwich. It's like an Uber Cubano--familiar, comforting, but leveled up with serious execution. Two visits, two excellent sandwiches, which now has me fully convinced that everything on the menu is as good as it looks. I trust them. I would let them choose my sandwich destiny. Service is super friendly. You order at the counter, but you're met with genuine smiles and a helpful, welcoming attitude that makes you feel like you made a very good life choice. Parking isn't the easiest, but you'll figure it out. The space itself is tiny, with just a few tables, so while you can eat there, a lot of people seem to grab it to go--presumably to eat it somewhere quiet and reflect on how good it was. Sandwich shops are a dime a dozen. Really good ones are a special find. This is a really good one. Destination-worthy

Been going here for several years now - poke has always been solid and the Hawaiian dishes were good not great. But today it was all different - everything was outstanding! Wife got a 2 salmon scoop poke : fish was great as always, but the seasoned potatoes (gamja jorim) she chose as 1 of 3 sides was very good. Dad had the hwae-dupbap (think of it as Korean bibimbap but with poke instead of meat) and the Cho-gochujang sauce was excellent. I had the loco moco and it was better than in the past. Also the banchan with that were fire (seasoned japchae noodles, spicy shredded radish) both better than in the past They sell most of the side dishes as banchan and as a Korean I fully endorse them. I am a huge Korean banchan snob and I will absolutely countersign their cooking I don't know what's going on but like I said - everything tastes better than before. The ajumma who runs the place said business is getting slower as the economy is imploding so let's support this awesome local business so we can keep this place around.

    I finally made it to Birrieria Tijuana and WOW... I'm honestly mad I didn't come sooner…read more The birria caldo was absolutely amazing - rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with a homemade taste that you just can't fake. You can tell it's made with love and tradition. The meat was tender, juicy, and soaked up all that deep, savory broth in the best way possible. On top of that, the customer service was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It really felt like one of those hidden gems where the food AND the people both stand out. If you're anywhere near Burien and craving birria. don't think twice.
