The food was a little pricey and their menu a bit limited, but that was expected from a food truck at any event -- IMHO, it was totally worth it. The folks working the truck are so sweet and patient, and worked efficiently to get everyone their food! The food here is DELISH -- the veggie bowl was packed full of flavor and the sauces are so good. The fried plantains and caramel-filled churros were so yummy as well -- the plantains are a MUST! I wish that the brick-and-mortar location was closer to me because I'd be there ALL the time. I'll be on the lookout for when the truck is near me next!

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!

The jalapeno toast was the star of the show, great flavors and textures. The ceviche was solid with maybe a little too much tomato for my personal taste. The lechon came in a mountain of pork and rice, if I were to get it again I would probably ask to get the meat on the side since all the sauce/oil dripped down into the rice. In total we spent ~90 for 2 people Ambiance: The restaurant is a really beautiful space, we loved the lighting and decorations Service: Here is where there were a few things took a turn. Service is obviously very subjective, but I felt like our waitress could have been more welcoming and explained more since she did ask us if it was our first time there and we said yes it was. There were 4 sauces that came with our meal and she never explained to us what they were or even what we should be eating them with. She also never checked in on us and when we asked for some boxes and the bill she seemed pretty dismissive. Something more weird for us was when another staff member came with a big camera and light and started taking pictures of us mid meal. After a few minutes she came back with framed photos of us and offered them to us for $20 a picture. When we declined she seemed irritated we didn't want to pay for a service we didn't ask for.

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.

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.

The restaurant ambiance is unmatched and it's obvious they put lots of consideration and care into their design and food.

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.

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.

Also the fries were soggy (tasted ok). Great customer service as the owner was engaging and welcoming.

I should have realized I was in trouble when there was no wait. He cheerfully put the dog in a bun, added the toppings and I was on my way to the car. I have no idea how long it had been on the grill, but the ends were as tough as leather. The insides was not bad, but not good either but it definitely was not spicy as advertised. Very bland indeed.
