Shrimp quesadilla goes hard as nails. Direct passage to flavor town for those who indulge.

! ordered a torta de Alpastor and this beauty showed up, at first I was skittish, but as soon as I opened the tray, I was mesmerized. I took a taste of a slab of AlPastor and fireworks in my mouth, taste buds going crazy... Disrespectfully Respectfully everything was as fresh as it can be. Chef Jaime and server David will make you feel at home. read more

We were looking for Mexican food in Bothell and decided to try Ambakity Cocina Mexican. We got the Taco plate and Chorizo Quesadilla. I liked the Chorizo Quesadilla a lot. The Taco plate was good, we got chicken tacos. The weather was good on the day and we got to enjoy our dinner in their seating area. read more

Still the same since the first time coming here! Massive portions that could potentially give one muscle failure or spontaneous muscle spasms just carrying them. Not one person at our shop complained. My favorite is the bowl with the spicy pork. It has pineapples in it and only 1 person I have met ever had allergies to pineapple. Spiciness in itself isn't that spicy but more savory. Now I feel like getting a bowl typing this. read more

3.5 Saw my friend eat a quesadilla from here and stopped by the next day to eat. Ordered an asada quesadilla and my wife ordered some tacos. After ordering, the lady asked which salsas I wanted to which I said verde and took my beeper and waited on one of the seats at a table. When I got home I opened my container and I got one of red salsa and one green salsa which confused me as to why I got asked in the first place The quesadilla was pretty decent but for the price might be a tad too much. My wife didn't enjoy the tacos and said the meat was not really flavorful. My roommate got their yellow habanero and while it was hot it had this interesting sweet flavor, not sure I like it. read more

I finally tried this food truck one day last week. The one that I used to go to in Bothell moved out some time ago. I got there just before noon and the lunch rush. I tried carne asada and league tacos and the meat in both was dried out and tasteless. There were no condiments set out (jalapeños, radish, pico de gallo, etc). I will never go back read more

We stopped by for tacos and we were so happy we did! I got a chicken, a fish, and a pastor taco; my friend got a chorizo, an asada, and a carnitas. We went around 6 pm on a Wednesday and it was really quick to order and get our food. The chicken was my favorite, then the fish and then the pastor. My friend loved the chorizo and then the carnitas. We both agreed that the habanero salsa and the red salsa were the best but we enjoyed the green as well. We were also surprised by the size, we were expecting little street tacos but these were large and packed with meat! read more

The nachos are massive! We ordered carnitas and it was an excellent choice. Delicious meat, perfect amount of cheese, and tons of condiments. Pico de gallo, sour cream, jalapeños, and two different salsas on the sides. read more

This taco cart has one of the best shrimp burritos you will ever ever have. Order it with the charred habanero salsa, which should win awards (seriously) and you will not be disappointed. Cannot speak for the other meat options, as the shrimp burrito is so out-of-this-world that I never order anything else. Pro tip: order a 4oz size of the charred habanero salsa and douse it on your homemade egg tacos and quesadillas. read more

Hands down the best Mexican food in the PNW. The street Tacos are to die for - perfect in summer - and the burrito bowl is an explosion of flavor and comfort food - perfect for a cold winter afternoon. We go here at least twice a week. Try it - You won't regret it. read more

Great carne asada tacos. They are full of devious carne asada making it worth your while to visit this place for sure!

An absolute insult to the Hispanic culture. I'm not sure how they remain in business. A complete atrocity!!! I feel so sorry about writing this review, because they can actually mean well. But someone has to tell you. Your meat is an overkill. If I had to guess, I would say you cooked it a week ago. Possibly a large quantity of it. Now you're cutting from it, and reheating it to the point, it's dry and stiff as a cardboard. Almost wood like. Carnitas is not suppose to be hard, dry and crunchy. Just the opposite. It should be moist, juicy and sticky to the touch. Although the meat I got was labeled Carnitas. I'm thinking it was a leaner cut of pork, that was cooked soooo long, there was no juice or moisture left. The beans and rice, omg. No flavor!!! None!!! I did try other items on the menu. Equally disappointed with those selections. read more

Delicious tacos! The pastor tacos were my favorite. The pineapple on them is a nice & interesting touch. I also got the fish, carnitas & pollo tacos. All excellent! My husband also likes the steak tacos. Both the green & red salsas were yummy I appreciate that they use compostable containers too read more

I went here yesterday for my birthday, and this was the only thing I ended up eating all day because I was food poisoned. I ordered the lengua tacos and pastor burrito. About two hours after consumption, that was the end of the happy part of my birthday. Was throwing up for hours and destroyed the gut. Just for reference, I work out often and haven't called a single sick day in nearly a thousand days. read more

I usually don't get food from food trucks, but this was the exception as it looked clean, portions were good, food quality was very good and price was moderate. Unfortunately, things changed at this place and it's waaaaay overpriced for a food truck! I understand inflation and all that bs but that doesn't justify that kind of increase! read more

Great food at a great price. Service is fast, and Owners are nice. Best for takeout. They only have two small tables outside.

We went there on Saturday while looking for good tacos. This place got my attention nearby on Yelp. The location was in downtown Bothell so it's convenient. The parking was complimentary in the front of a food truck so you didn't need to worry. The staff was friendly and courteous when she took my order. We ordered, taco plates, kids taco plate and quesadillas for Togo. It was quiet and laid back and I could imagine how great it will be in summer. When we tried at home, they were delicious and my favorite was beef quesadillas. They put some mayo aioli sauce on the top with cotija and it was tasty. A nice place for quick bite and we will be back. read more

Delivery review Yeah, I need to get out of the house more, AND we need to cook more. I do get tired of just having stuff delivered but this volume of deliveries is temporary and it's all good. I wish this place was closer so I could go in more. The food was 100% delicious even after being in the car for 15 minutes. Pastor Burrito Ordered with habanero aioli. (You have to pick one of 4 aiolis that they mix in to the burrito filling). Tortilla could have been toasted more to bring out flavor, but it was fresh, soft, and chewy. The meat was only mildly sweet but the fruit and onions definitely added a lot of sweetness to a couple bites. Made it more interesting as the bites changed on the way through it. Their red and green salsas are both great, and I ran out less than halfway through. Bottled stuff worked fine of course. Guacamole Ordered on the side for, you know, science. Really good! Fresh avocado, lots of flavor, crisp veg, bright notes from tomato and onion. Not the biggest $4 side ever, but it's really good, and avocado prices are always volatile. When you find good guac you just close your eyes to the price and order. Azada Taco Ordered one on the side as part of the ongoing scientific research 'n' stuff. Nice fresh soft chewy tortilla, good fresh chopped veg, nice fresh lime. Nice flavorful steak with clear grilled flavor. Would happily build a meal of tacos here. This place is rad even for delivery and I will for sure check them out when I am down Bothell way. read more

Tried the tacos here for the 1st time. Very generous with the meat. The adobada (marinated pork) was tender and slightly sweet. The Carne Asada was also juicy and tender (I prefer more charring on my asada but realize it usually results in a drier and less juicy mouthful). Well packed to go. The red and green salsas were also pretty good. read more

Loved the street tacos. Yelp suggested me this as the best place to get the tacos in Bothell area, and it was spot on. This is a food truck located in Bothell downtown. Not so difficult to find out. Stopped here in the evening for a few tacos. Loved the ingredients and flavors. Requested them to make it spicy - it's made to the perfection. Indeed the best taco place around. Picked up a burrito as well. That was very decent. Service is fantastic. They were super friendly and chatty. Ambiance is very casual. They've got some seating around there which is kind of cool. We enjoyed our tacos there. No designated parking spots - but there's space for a couple of cars to park. Loved the tacos. I will definitely go back for it again. If you haven't tried this place so far, try it out! read more

I could eat their burritos every day, so I have to limit myself. Plus, I love their horchata. Food never takes long to get and I like the outdoor eating area that lets me take a break from work. read more

If you've never tried Ambakity, then you're truly missing out. What a tasty taco truck hidden in Downtown Bothell. My go-to order is the shrimp tacos.That pineapple slaw is amazing. *chef's kiss* My kids' order the chicken quesadilla. Great customer service and rarely ever a long wait to receive my food. On a sunny day, order your food, crack open a Jarritos, and enjoy it at the outdoor seating area. read more

I got 2 veggie tacos for $9, not including tax, and they were so good it felt like stealing. They practically melted in my mouth. The beans and rice made it feel filling without overpowering the veggies, and the sauce pulled the whole thing together and gave it all a delicious zing. As a vegetarian, it can be a struggle to find really good vegetarian mexican food, but these tacos exceeded all of my expectations. They felt punchy, unlike a lot of other vegetable tacos I've tried, which tend to lack the kind of presence these two had. Usually those kinds of tacos feel like they're missing something (the meat) but these two filled my whole mouth from top to bottom. Those were the best tacos I've ever had. In addition, I got served quickly (though I didn't order much), and the guy at the register was super welcoming and chill. It was all fantastic; there was no weak point. A couple of extra notes: The food truck is definitely not wheelchair accessible, but there is plenty of seating and as well as a large overhang above the register for rainy weather. The tacos I got weren't the biggest ones I've ever had, but they were definitely larger than your average street taco. They also had a couple other vegetarian options - I specifically recall there being burritos, too, as well as one other thing that I've forgotten. read more

Street taco cravings were finally fulfilled. Ambakity Cocina is the hole-in-wall spot where carne asada dreams and al pastor wishes are made of. They are located right on Bothell-Everett Highway, this food truck is easy to missed. So make sure to keep a sharp eye! I've tried their azada, pastor, pollo, carnitas, and shrimp tacos. My personal favorite is the shrimp. The mix of the fried shrimp, cabbage, and cream sauce is just delicious. The pastor and carnitas are equally delightful. The fillings are generous and 3 tacos is the perfect serving portion. They also have other items such as carne asada plate, tortas, quesadilla, tacos bowl, and burritos. Bottled soft drinks are available and are actually ice cold. Patio seating is also available and parking was not an issue. There's side street parking around the cor read more

Always yummy. Attached updated menu. Note the website doesn't seem to have been updated in several years.

We just had their taco's for the first time and they are delicious. They are authentic Mexican taco's for an unbelievable low price. I had 3 large taco's for only $ 12.00 We had them at their new location on South Hill, 14019 Meridian East #B. The food truck is right in front of Meridian Tire and Aqua Rec's stores. I wish I would have taken a photograph. I will do so next time so that you can see how good those taco's look. read more

Best streets tacos in the area! We'll for sure be going back. Even on a busy Saturday evening, I got all my food within 10 minutes. These guys move fast. Staff was extremely nice and friendly. They have all the street tacos, burritos, sides, etc. that you could want and is possible in a quick timeframe. Food presentation is excellent for street food, but quality could be a bit better. It seems fresh but was just a bit dry. Shrimp tacos were the best that I tried. If you're looking for an inexpensive and fast option in downtown Bothell, this place is worth checking out. Parking CAN be an issue, unfortunately. Quality and parking are my only two issues that don't give it 5 stars. My tacos were a little dry and the corn tortillas were falling apart. Seems like they needed a bit more cooking or oil. And the parking can be super tough with the nail salon next door threatening to have you towed. I'd rec'd walking up to this from downtown Bothell if you can, or finding street parking and not risking the lot (if it's super busy). read more

After visiting the excellent Ambakity Cocina Mexicana restaurant in South Park, we had to try the trailer where it all started. We were not disappointed. This is a five star food truck/trailer. The tacos were loaded with tasty meat fillings and topped with just the right toppings. I would have liked to have tried the enchiladas, but they were out by the time I stopped in the late afternoon on a rainy weekday. The menu is short, but it is a trailer after all. Service is friendly. Your food is made to order, so it may take a little longer than what is common. But it will be hot and fresh and tasty. Overall, among the absolute best Mexican food trucks/trailers around anywhere. read more

My boyfriend recently moved to the Bothell area from San Diego, so we have been hoping for a great taco place to match up to the tacos we've experienced in SD. Well, you know what? The search is over! Ambakity seriously delivers and to be honest, it made me love Bothell 5x more after my first bite out of the 4 tacos I got. This cute, little food truck is all by itself in a graveled corner on the streets of Bothell, so it's real easy to spot. There's multiple seating arrangements and umbrella coverings in front of the truck, so you can lounge around. I know there's burritos and other food plates here, but during our visit, we got the al pastor, the fish, the shrimp, and the lengua taco. First and foremost, excuse my language, but DAMN - these tacos are plump! They are plump, full of the freshest meats and vegetables, and they are just presented so beautifully, unlike most tacos you'd experience. They are a little more on the pricey side, ranging from $3-$4/each (not sure if this is just because it's Seattle), but I thought it was well worth it for how much food you're getting. As San Diego taco enthusiasts/connoisseurs, Ambakity gets a solid stamp of approval. We will definitely be back :) read more
