    I can't say enough about the food at Fire Tacos. While I "always" order their award winning Chile…read moreVerde Wet Burrito, with Mango Cart beer, their whole menu is amazing. The chile verde pork is so good, my wife, who primarily orders vegetarian, goes for all their variations, quesadillas being her favorite. This weekend is Valentine's Day, and while I am not with my beloved, George and Erika shared a sample of their new menu items, chilaquiles (heart shaped for the holiday) - both chili verde and chipotle. The other item was a stack of tres leches pancakes, with fruit. While all were delicious, I liked the chipotle chilaquiles the best. Good enough to make me consider mixing up my wet burrito with salsa macha in the future. So, we just came back from Playa del Carmen Mexico, where we hoped to have some over the top Mexican food. While breakfast was great it wasn't enough to outshine Fire Tacos. A waiter at one restaurant summed it up well. Everyone in Mexico makes good food, but the best of the best succeed in the US. That is Fire Tacos. The best of the best. I rarely give 5 stars, but Fire Tacos e arnés every one!

    Get there ASAP!…read more Every sip of my mango margarita with tajin and chamoy (fresh and made on-site) was a flavor explosion...literally the best margarita of my life...no joke and I am 51 years old which means I have had many a margarita! The food was right there with the flavors. Every bite was amazing and hot! My friend and I couldn't stop with our amazement. To top it off, we had the best service from Erika and her staff. She and her husband own the restaurant and started the restaurant from a food cart and then opened on Alki. Another is opening on Capitol Hill soon too. They are killing it with their food. Everyone was in great spirits and we just had the best experience eating, having a beverage, and watching a World Cup game. Fire Tacos is right on Alki beach and in the summer, they pull up the garage door side walls and have an open air restaurant! Get there! You will be happy you did! Say hi to Erika!

    My jaw would've dropped once I discovered how succulent their blackened chicken was, but I was too…read morebusy. Eatin' chicken! ...which is generally a lame thing to order out, but the rules don't apply to Jemil's. Though I've never been to Louisiana, I'm still a Southerner and would pick BBQ over Cajun any day as I've literally never enjoyed Cajun food. That all changed one fateful Tuesday when I poached some leftovers from a work lunch catered by your boy. All I could think was "WTF! How can chicken be so flavorful?". An thus began what has become an obsessive search for how--HOW?! to recreate this new, disturbing reality. And I haven't even gotten to the salad! What sorcery did Jemil pull for unassuming leaves and usually lame squash to get their act together and become something so tender and fresh I felt like a baby deer eating rose petals on the lawn of the Royal Family as they take their tea and cucumber sandwiches. Let's not forget the jambalaya, which managed to be juicy without a sign of mushiness and was actually spicy enough to excite my tastebuds - they were doing cartwheels. What in heavens? I'm just lost.

    5 stars aren't enough! We ordered Jemil's Big Easy for a Juneteenth celebration at our school…read more Firstly, they were super responsive and friendly. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs. We felt super spoiled. We had a wide variety of dishes and every single one was raved about! I personally loved the Cajun Mac n Cheese. They better keep that recipe a secret or something because its that good. I will definitely patronize this business with my family in the future!
