    Stumbled upon this taco truck while looking to grab a quick bite as we had to wait 45 minutes for our table at a restaurant near by! We got 2 pollo tacos and they were out within minutes. They were flavorful and inexpensive. They were $2.5 per taco. Highly recommend coming here if you are looking for cheap, no-frills but delicious food!

    Taqueria Guadalajara is my favorite taco spot on Eastside, if not so far in Seattle. I have been to this taco food truck numerous times last year and a half, vistin during week days, weekends, holidays - during day time, night time, etc. And I can say that every time that I have been here, the food has slapped! Located in the lot of a 76 gas station, this food truck may look unsuspecting, but serves up some delicious tacos at an affordable price. It's convenient too! Located near a Fred Meyer and a Asian Family Market, you can get your groceries and then you can fill up your car and eat some bomb tacos right after! There are so lots just around the gas station that people have parked at just to get these tacos. Service is fast, you place your order at the window, and you will get your tacos in 5-10 minutes. You will get your order on a paper plate, which usually means the food will be amazing or bad - luckily in this case, it's amazing. The tacos themselves are no frills and are juicy, flavorful, and very pleasant in terms of texture to eat. Though I have tried every other option they had for filling - I am a big fan of their lengua and their cabeza! Their lengua is tender and diced into soft bite-sized pieces, and gives a fall apart meaty texture. The cabeza is rich and melts away as you chew it, with some scrumptious leaner pieces of the meat that give the taco some integrity so it allows for you to feel the decadence and then give you something solid to hold onto - it's great. The meat themselves aren't salted very much, but still have a delicious subtle aromatic taste to them. They are complimented very nicely by the salsas they have - a salsa verde, and a spicier salsa that is made with habanero - I could easily down 5-6 tacos every time I have visited. You will probably spend $2-3 per taco depending on what cut of meat you want - I feel that the tacos are priced very fairly priced vs. the average taco you can get in Seattle currently. Not many other reviews have mentioned this - but I have also tried their Sweet Corn Tamales for $3. Their tamales are great! They are the perfect amount of sweetness and give a forward sweet corn flavor. The texture is exactly like eating a slightly sweeter corn bread. A very affordable price for a dessert where most desserts (especially tamales) cost $6-$8. This is one of the few food trucks that I have been to where not only is the food good, but the prices are what you would expect tacos to cost. I don't think I can write more about how great this Food Truck is, as the tacos here are definitely ranked the top in my mind for tacos I've tried here in Seattle so far. I would recommend if you are in the Overlake Shopping Area to check this place out!

    I've always noticed a line outside Taqueria Guadalajara whenever I drive by, so I decided to stop by with a coworker for lunch and see what the hype was about. We ordered 3 asada and 3 al pastor tacos, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were, especially for the Bellevue area. Being originally from Southern California, I'm quite picky about my tacos, but these were as close as it gets to the ones back home. The salsa is sooo good, and the habanero one had a nice kick to it. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. If you're in Bellevue and craving some authentic tacos, Taqueria Guadalajara is a must-visit!

    Ever since moving from California, it's been hard for me to find authentic Mexican food in WA but Taqueria Guadalajara has one of the best authentic tacos I've ever had in WA! The flavor is always on point and I love their verde salsas on the tacos and burritos. I thought their prices were reasonable. The cashier was really friendly when I placed my order and picked it up. I would highly recommend and come here again Asada tacos(5/5) Pollo tacos (4/5)

    Cabeza tacos

    I can't stay away! The food is so tasty! Service is prompt. Food truck is well maintained and clean. Staff is very friendly as well! Im addicted to the cabeza tacos! It's hands down the best Mexican taco truck in the area!

    Delicious tacos! I tried the Al Pastor, Pollo, and Asada, and while all three were great, the Al Pastor was my favorite. Just a heads-up--this is a gas station taco truck, so don't expect anything fancy, but the flavor more than makes up for it. Plus, the prices are super reasonable. Definitely worth a stop if you're craving authentic tacos!

    Tacos Asada 6 out of 5 Chicken 5 out of 5 Asada Burrito 5 out of 5 Technically I don't know if u can call it a burrito because it's not in closed but yummy. So this place has been here for 25 yrs so that alone tells u everything you need to know. Tortillas nice and warm and with a little bit of grease for extra flavor. I have been searching for good tacos since Jan 2024 so it took me almost 3 months but I found my spot. The gentleman behind the register and cook were both friendly and super cool! Run don't walk here and try it for yourself.

    Cabeza, Asada, and Carnita Tacos
    Yun-Wen L.

    Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - Cabeza, Asada, and Carnita Tacos. Generous with the raw onions, cilantro, and sauce. The cabeza and asada were the preferred as it was juicy and great texture. The carnitas leaned a bit on the more sour side of marinating and was a bit dry. Still great tacos overall Ambience: N/A - stationary taco truck in a gas station lot. The place was super busy but had a little umbrella and trash can to the side Service: 5/5 - quick and friendly. With that many customers, could definitely understand the pace he was working at Value for price: 5/5 - $2 per taco is a bit pricier but with how things have been changing, still reasonable price. Definitely delicious

    Cash only It was a Tuesday and I was feeling festive so I did what any person would do... tacos! This place had been on my bookmarks for a while so I wanted to check it out. This place is located in a food truck on-site of a 76 gas station. Pretty peculiar but sometimes those are the best places to find hole-in-the-wall spots. I ordered the al pastor, asada, and pollo tacos ($1.75 each). From reading other reviews it seems lengua was their most popular but unfortunately they didn't have them when I went. I also ordered their Guadalajara torta with spicy pork ($6). Out of all the tacos my favorite was surprisingly the chicken because I got that as a substitute for the lengua that I wanted instead. The al pastor and asada didn't have the flavors that I was hoping for and were a little dry. The torta was pretty good. They have two sauces: green and red. The green sauce is not that spicy but the red sauce is like a huge leap in terms of spiciness. I didn't expect the level of spice in it and to be honest was a little too spicy for me so I put a mix of green and red sauces. Overall I thought everything was decent. The prices are decent and under $2 for tacos is a pretty good deal.

    In the world of Mexican food trucks, this one is the king (well, maybe it shares the crown with Ambakity up in Bothell). But Taqueria Guadalajara is the old monarch. This truck has been parked in that 76 parking lot for something like 20 years. No, I am not kidding. It's been there forever. And for good reason. The food is fantastic. Perfect? No. It's varies a bit from good to great, but that kind of variation is fine (never drops below good and is usually great). The prices are reasonable. The service is friendly and fast. There are no gimmicks. They don't need any. The food speaks for itself, and you won't find better Mexican street food anywhere in the region. One issue is the place is cash only. Be sure you have cash on hand. I make it a habit to stop by anytime I am in the area at lunch and have the time to stop. It's that good. The legend lives on, and it deserves to live forever. If you've never had good Mexican food from a taco truck, visit this truck today.

    Im very picky when it comes to chicken or Al Pastor. This places gots it down! The chicken was shredded and seasoned nicely. Al pastor was seasoned to perfection with a little spice to it. The little salsas containers were about half full but that's all you need. Straight fire . Definitely recommend it.

(Oftentimes, publishers loop Indian and Pakistani cuisine into the same category.) Before we get into the food, I must praise their fully covered seating area that houses five tables. Even in the rain and wind, you can enjoy your meal in a completely sheltered space! Any Washingtonian knows how important this is, especially during the wet months. Three of us arrived for lunch around noon and it was surprisingly quiet. No one else was by the truck nor at the neighboring Tikka Masala restaurant. One employee manned the truck, graciously welcomed us and we chatted with him briefly about the menu. He informed us of the most popular items and mentioned his favorite, "The Boti To My Roti" (chicken wrap). I was so close to ordering the "A Bihari Affair" (beef wrap), but when he said that was too spicy for him, that told me all I needed to hear. I wasn't going to take any chances, haha. Our order took about 20 minutes to prepare, which is pretty long considering we were the only customers. However, I had read about the wait times in other reviews and the one guy was cooking everything by himself, so I didn't mind hanging out for a bit. + BOTI TO MY ROTI ($12.95): Pieces of marinated chicken and slices of pickled onion rolled up in a roti flatbread. The chicken was lean and super tender, with a slight smoky flavor, and covered in what seemed to be a garlicky yogurt sauce with Indian spices. It had a mild spice and I liked the slight tartness from the onion. The roti was light and was a great vessel for the saucy filling. + CHIPAS ($5.95): This side of fries was deliciously seasoned and drizzled in a garlic mayo. They were hot and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. + EK DUM KARAK ($3.85): A piping hot cup of chai tea served with a biscuit. This was such a comforting drink on a cold day. The menu stated it's extra strong, which I didn't quite notice while drinking, but I did feel a little jittery later in the day. The biscuit was like a lighter and crispier version of a biscotti and nice to dip in the chai. Their menu also features various types of burgers and I hear they also serve a weekend brunch. My main qualm is just that the pricing is on the steeper side for their burgers and wraps, which are at least $12.95 each. All together, three of us got two rotis, one burger, one side of fries and two chai teas, totaling $53! My roti wrap was enough for me, but I think the average person would still be hungry after eating only that. Pakistani eateries are not abundant at all on the Eastside, so I'd still recommend giving Lari Adda a try if you're looking for something new and unique.

I waited a few minutes until its hot deliciousness was ready, then hopped in my car where the sweet, delicious smells of freshly fried chicken and garlic wafted through the air making me hangrier than I'd been in awhile.
