Seattle is not particularly known for its Mexican food. But this spot, at the very least, gives us…read moreONE good option that I'll keep coming back to. The portions are hefty, the prices are incredibly reasonable, the service is super fast, its open late, AND best of all, everything I've had (the carne asada & al pastor in particular) tastes so much better and more authentic than anything else we have in the city. If you're having trouble finding it, it's a tarp stand tent on Rainier adjacent to Buddha Brothers. Parking is limited, and the area can be a tad rough later in the day, but it's still most definitely worth a visit.

Then, 5 minutes later my pho arrived. I've never waited 25 minutes for pho ever in my life. The noodles were also thick which might be great for some but I prefer the thin rice vermicelli. Some of the brisket was tough and hard to chew. There was also part of an onion skin in my soup. I don't think I'll be trying this joint again.

I liked that their tamales were not spicy, although on the other hand, I'd also like at least one spicy option. The reason less than five stars is that there was such a clear winner, taste-wise, between the chicken, barbacoa beef, and pork - chicken! - didn't like all of them equally. Enjoyed that they add in some unusual veggies without going overboard (the vegan would have been overboard for me). Warm corn wrapped goodness. Service was somewhat blunt.

Last time I visited the Mi Patria food truck was back on 7/25/24 when it was in North Seattle in…read morethe Olympic Hills/Jackson Park area. Via an IG post & a Plate of Nations showcase, I was able to locate them again. Currently, their food truck is located in South Seattle in Hillman City right off of S Brandon & Rainier Ave S. Earlier this morning I saw a post that the pernil was ready. Pernil is marinated and slow roasted pork shoulder which results in tender, succulent meat. Omg, I'm so there! Traffic on I-5, I-90, and Rainier Ave S was merciful and I found a parking spot diagonal from their food truck. I ventured over after 12noon and was greeted by one of the owners. She was putting finishing touches on the specials whiteboard. There's their usual menu, as well as, today's featured specials. I ordered a pair of pernil empanadillas. With my order, I was given a sauce cup with cilantro aioli, which was recommended by one of the owners. I kept the takeout box open so the empanadillas would remain crisp. The tantalizing scent permeated my car. I was good and did not feast on one while driving. Once home, a brief nuke, cut it in half, first tasted the pernil on its own (amazing!), then the crust (thin & crispy), finally another bite altogether with the recommended dipping sauce. On point flavorful savory special! Look forward to coming back to try other menu items: appetizers, sandwiches, hearty entree plates, and mofongo bowls. Plus their dessert flan!
