AMAZING FIRST EXPERIENCE!!…read more Came here on a Saturday at 3:15 pm and it was EMPTY! Walked right on in and sat immediately. I'm sure the place is more lively with more etíope, but it was still pleasant to sit and eat with some background music playing. Food was absolutely delicious! It's a bit on the pricey side but you will definitely leave full and satisfied. I ordered the Pollito Pibil and my boyfriend ordered the Lechon Congri. We CLEARED our plates. We also ordered the Street Corn appetizer which was very tasty. Service was quick as well with be dry attentive staff. We were in and out in less than an hour. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

First off, we are so happy to find this food truck because we haven't had good Mexican food in our…read morearea for a while now until we discovered this place! Not sure when they opened but the 5 star reviews on yelp are justified!! My husband and I were lazy to cook for ourselves and the kids so we decided to give them a try and oh my god I'm so happy we did! The food tastes fresh, delicious and homemade! We couldn't wait and finished quesadillas on the way home. The guacamole and salsa it came with was so delicious and fresh that I even finished that although I usually wouldn't. Nothing was left on the plate at the end :) The owner was there with another person and they were both very kind and thoughtful! You can tell they put their heart and soul into it! So I hope no one ruins it for them (and us) and brings down their spirits because we need this place to continue to be this good

I've been driving past this taco truck for months now waiting for the right time to tray it out…read more Today was that day. I decided on the tacos al pastor and my wife had the deluxe burrito (with chicken). I don't think she finished her first bite before saying it was one of the best burritos she's had. Full of chicken and flavor right up to the end. My tacos were juicy and full of flavor. I'm just now getting started on my al pastor journey (Journey al Pastor?) but if this is a good example, it's going to be a fun adventure. I look forward to coming back and trying some other favorites here. Perhaps a touch pricier than I was expecting, but that's the way of things these days. Easy to spend just as much at a drive through, so at least the food was delightful.

Hands down the coolest looking food truck of all time. Unfortunately the food was not tasty. I came…read morehere twice hoping that the first experience was a fluke, but turns out the food just isn't good. So if you are wondering why there are only two reviews and why you never heard of this place, it's probably a combination of what I have shared and the fact that after business got really slow, probably based on word of mouth, the truck disappeared. There is now a different truck with the same name, but it's old, beat up and I won't be giving these guys a 3rd shot. It's s shame when you don't represent your people with true authentic flavors. This is the worst truck I've been to in many years.

Tacos are not your small tortilla tacos. These are all regular tortilla filled with meat and fresh veggies. This place does not rip you off by putting tons of veggies and less meat.

Prices are super reasonable for the amount of food that you get. We recommend this food truck. Check them out, you will not regret it.

The restaurant ambiance is unmatched and it's obvious they put lots of consideration and care into their design and food. We were so impressed with the empanadas (cheesy chicken and beef) and special sauces. The chicken salad arepas was packed with protein. We can't wait to come back to try their other dishes! Live music is from 7:30-9:30 pm Fri-Sat, followed by karaoke.

Though we both liked our entrees, we both thought the protein quality of the mains is just ok. The winning dish is the mini arepas, hands down. I would order those mini arepa for my entree easily. This location is roomy. Service is warm; our server was helpful answering questions. The Food: Arepitas Fritas, $17 - 5+ Stars Four mini arepa in the appetizer section, these start with the same cornmeal (masa de maíz) base as the normal arepa, then topped with cheese, slow cooked beef, quail egg, and pink sauce. These bites are sooooo good! They sell the full-size arepas also, which will likely be a future meal. :) Platanos Fritos, $8 - 5 Stars Gotta love Latin foods with their plantains. Simple and delicious. Theirs are perfectly prepared. Camarones de Ajillo, $19 - 3.5 Stars These shrimps are cooked in garlic, herbs, and cream. The herb butter sauce is excellent, but the shrimps' quality is just ok. We liked it enough but will not order again. Asado Negro Tips, $23 - 3.5 Stars 8 oz of NY strip are cooked cubed in asado sauce, served with yuca fries and quasaca, a mini tomato and avocado salad. Again, the asado sauce is excellent, but the steak pieces are on the tough side. The yuca fries didn't stand out. This is also a 'liked it enough but won't order again' dish.

I am looking forward to coming back for more of their house made salsa, mixiotes (weekends only), and exploring even more of the menu. Don't sleep on the drinks either.

This is another great example of why you always have to be cautious using Yelp. This place came up…read morein a recent search and I was shocked how a place so amazing was off my radar. I knew going in, this was either going to be great or garbage and unfortunately it was the latter. For a place that has been in business for a decade (which I didn't know ahead of time) to only have 60 reviews, it's clear traffic is low here. Also, some of these 5 star reviews are sketchy. I didn't trust reviews from people with less than 5 reviews, or people that aren't local with low review counts. Do you really want me to believe you flew into Seattle, stumbled on this place and then had the best meal of your life? First was the price. I had a burrito and soda and it was $22. At $17 the burrito alone was just as much as a combo meal from a full service restaurant. Based on the price, thought I would be working with a monster, but the burrito was no bigger than Chipotle burrito and not nearly as good. They used refried instead of whole beans and added watered down sour cream which really impacted the flavor. Service was friendly, but that is the only positive. Prices were unreasonable. Flavor was inexcusable and portion was regrettable. I ate less than half and had to force myself to eat that much. After spending so much cash, I felt obligated to force it down, until I realized I was punishing myself.

A fantastic example of a great restaurant with an owner that can't get out of the way. From the…read morereviews and ranking on Google I had very high expectations and drove from my hotel in Tukwila to see this place and overall was very disappointed. The core of this restaurant and its food is great. Fresh meat burgers, grass fed, cooked and ground to order paired with the best possible pairings. The spirit of this restaurant is phenomenal and if someone else were to come in and buy them out and maintain the same business model I could see this restaurant being massively successful as a quick service restaurant model similar to Five Guys or In-and-Out. The *idea* is great. The reality is not. I get the feeling this restaurant has been in a long decline after reading a lot of other reviews and noticing trends. Like other people have mentioned, I walked into the owner at a table using it as an office space on his laptop. Not a great look, especially with the exterior looking how it does, but it's a hole in the wall restaurant from a self made chef who started off in a food truck - best things come in small packages right? I understand not having investment capital or lease permissions to do certain things. The place is empty, just us and the owner at the table. He takes our order, but not before launching into the sales pitch about how good his food is - once again, I get it. I worked in hospitality and restaurants a long time and have been the guy trying to hype up my restaurant or catering service before. He was nice, but his sales pitch quickly turned uncomfortable as he started deriding and complaining about just about everything related to the modern world and food systems, using each grievance as an opportunity to pat himself on the back. It was uncomfortable to say the least - I came for a burger, not a Dr. Oz segment. This continued across the entire meal, and despite trying to give every polite social indicator we weren't interested in talking to him, continued to talk, even after extended periods of silence. Anyway, we ordered the Taco Burger, Luxury Mushroom Burger, and a large order of fries. To start with the good - the fries were delicious, if slightly over salted. They were crispy and well done (A personal favorite, but some may not like that) and the roasted garlic aioli was absolutely phenomenal. The cheese on the burgers was awesome and just this massive blob of pizza commercial stringy goodness. The truffle burger wasn't over-truffled, which is always a risk with truffle products and overall was really great - and the texture of their burgers is something really special. The grind is very lean and almost coarse or shredded, which makes for a really great burger that constantly reminds you that it is a ground steak, not commercial ground beef. However, the food wasn't without faults - the biggest issue was that on the bottom of the taco burger's bun there was a chunk of raw meat smashed into it - not rare or blue, but never-has-seen-fire raw pink ground beef. Not really being that scared of raw meat I didn't say anything but just tore it off and made a hole in the bun when I saw it, but having worked restaurants that's a pretty massive mistake as raw food and prepared food shouldn't be sharing surfaces without sanitizing much less touching. Beyond that, the burger itself was extremely salty, which I'm normally the type of person that likes really salty foods, but it was overwhelming with the taco seasoning just all over it. The other issue I had with it was that the toppings were just kind of indistinguishable, and the whole thing very much just tasted like straight taco seasoning - which made sense once given the context that he made the taco burger "as a joke". Also, the burger was not consistently cooked, with one side being medium and the other side being rare (the color of my husbands burger that was ordered rare) If there was a 2.5 rating, that's what I would give it. To me, a 2 is a restaurant I wouldn't voluntarily go back to but if someone wanted to or it was the only option I would and a 3 is a restaurant that I wouldn't go out of my way to go to, but would maybe stop at if I was in the area or it was convenient. This is somewhere inbetween that. I want to give them another chance and I might - but the cross contamination and horribly uncomfortable experience make me hesitant to try it again - *especially* after seeing how this owner interacts with other bad reviews on Google.

It's a decent burger - not bad all but definitely had better. They have a of didn't variations and…read moreI ended up settling on the addict (caramelized onions, white cheddar). I ordered two burger meals and it came out to $34. I felt like it was a bit overpriced as 1) The burgers are small and 2) you can get a can of soda instead of a fountain drink. Also the fries were soggy (tasted ok). Great customer service as the owner was engaging and welcoming.
