    We were driving up along Tukwila after work and craving for street tacos when we saw this Mexican…read morefood truck so we stopped by. We were not disappointed at all, we ordered the steak tacos and sure enough we wanted more! They give generous amount of meat. A must try, good location very close to Taco Time and Home Depot.

    It was one of the one days where I did not really know what I wanted for lunch. The place I…read moreoriginally was going to was closed so I headed back to work and the closest place to stop was Taco Time. I figured why not, because I really just wanted some Tater Tots. While pulling into the parking lot, I noticed the food truck and thought well why not. Anything is better than Taco Time. I ordered the taco plate (3 tacos with rice and beans) with carne asada. My food came out pretty fast. I was also served two salsas, pickled jalapenos & carrots and a mint. I went to my car and opened my to go container and was impressed just at first glance. I honestly wasn't sure what I was getting myself into but at first looks, I was pleasantly pleased. I took my food to work and ate my desk. My first bites were of the beans and rice and I had to take a minute and pause. I literally felt like I hit the jackpot. Those rice and beans were slamming and did not disappoint! The tacos were good too. The grilled onions were pefection and the salsas were deliciouso! My only critique is the carne asada was slightly on the salty side but still delicious. Honestly, I sat there thinking while eating my food - do I go back on my way and grab a plate for dinner. I will have to find them on IG so I can follow them and get their schedule. Definitely, will return and try more!

    Stopped in and picked up the Cuban sandwich. It had braised pork and ham which was nice and juicy…read more With the pickles and mustard, every bite was a flavorful experience. The bun was soft and fresh. The decor was nice and modern. It had a nice outside seating area. The staff was friendly and service was great. Looking for a great Sammie, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

    Driving around Downtown Burien, we decided to have lunch at Now Make Me A Sandwich. Free 2 Hour…read morePublic Street Parking available. Outside and inside seating options available. The decor is humorous and pirate themed. The sandwich shop is on the small side, so large groups would find it hard to sit together. One unisex restroom. Complimentary ice water and/or guava flavored water. Order via the cashier. He was friendly, helpful, and recommended a couple of his favorite sandwiches. Fidel Cash Flow: A rich and savory combination of braised pork belly, sliced ham, swiss cheese, dill pickle chips, fresh cilantro, plain mayo, and a spicy brown mustard on a telera roll (4/5). Served with your choice of sides (hand cut fries, waffle fries, chipotle mac salad, & jalapeño slaw). The sandwich size was a bit smaller than expected but it did come with a side. The bread was so soft and good. I also wish it had a bit more meat to enjoy. Otherwise, still a good tasting sandwich. Come support your local business.

    Personally, this use to be the spot for quesabirra but we stopped coming as much after they…read moreswitched from goat to beef. I decided to give it a try after 1-2 years or so because I woke up craving good birria. This was honestly super disappointing. We ordered the trio - which stated it comes with chicharrones (usually includes fried pork belly of some sort not just fried skin, which is what I was imagining), chips, and tostones (plantain slices) - plus guacamole salsa, sour cream, and pico. We got chips, French fries??, and basic plain pork rinds (like from a gas station) - with no guac salsa. The service was ok, if anything I felt bad because there seemed to only be two people working the entire restaurant on a Saturday evening. Just the appetizer was 18$ and it was all types of inaccurate. I ordered a guacamole side in addition and the small little side was nearly 5.00$. The tacos itself were decent but nothing amazing like they use to be. Probably won't be back, not worth the price & it's unfortunate the items reads differently.

    My boyfriend and I decided to stop by here as they have an offer (through BECU's Equity in Action)…read morefor this month to try out some of their offerings. We arrived and saw that they have quite a large space so plenty of seating, lovely decor and just cozy vibes overall. However this is not your usual sit down restaurant as you go up to the cashier to place your order. They do have a menu that is shown on their screen or physical menus. I got their birria ramen, my boyfriend got their quesabirria, and we got two tacos. The cashier was polite and friendly with us and anyone else who came by. It seemed that the cashier and cook had to communicate a lot as she had to remind him that our order was for here. My boyfriend's quesabirrias did come in a take out container but everything else came in as a regular dine in order. The tacos was very filling and the meats (asada and adobaba) was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The birria ramen was okay but the broth was way too salty and the ramen was not cooked fully which was disappointing as it is instant ramen and that is pretty easy to cook. The quesabirrias was good and so was their rice and beans. They do have a self-serve water station. The bathrooms were clean and lovely. Music was played at a decent volume as we could have a conservative without issues. Additional you can leave your table without cleaning as the cashier will come and grab them when you leave. Overall we would love to try out this place again in the future! It seems they are a local favorite as they kept getting customers for dine in and take out throughout our time there.
