Got three tacos, they hit the spot!…read more I got three carne asada tacos, they were incredible. Meat was perfectly cooked, tasty sauce on top, and perfect tortillas. You order from a counter and they call your number. From order to delivery, it was probably only 4 minutes; nice and quick! The tables were clean and the restaurant was tidy. Great spot.

The real surprise, though, was the churros! I honestly wasn't expecting much, but they were ridiculously good and ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal. The food overall was amazing, and you can tell there's a lot to enjoy on the menu. My boyfriend got the burrito, which was also a great choice. The view was solid and made the whole dining experience even better, and the service was wonderful from start to finish. Between the delicious food, the amazing churros, and the welcoming service, this spot definitely exceeded our expectations. I'd happily come back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal with a nice view!

They accidentally messed up part of our taco order, but the staff was incredibly kind about it. Not only did they quickly fix it, they also gave us an extra taco for free as an apology Totally unnecessary but very appreciated and such a nice gesture. Everything we ordered was delicious. The pollo burrito was flavorful and satisfying, the carne asada tacos were tender and packed with flavor, and the quesadilla had the perfect meat-to-cheese ratio. Yum!! I wish I lived in Seattle for many reasons but late night Carmelo runs is on that list.

The hushwe meat? Excellent. The carnitas are "out of this world" (ant Cowboy Bebop fans?). The guacamole felt home-made in the best way. My partner's spicy chicken tortilla soup was delicious -- spicy but not too much so, with a lovely smoky note to it. The service was quick and cheerful. They let us hang out for a few minutes and write our reviews and finish our Jarritos -- even after close. The ambiance was great: colorful, cheerful, and energetic without being overwhelming. The playlist was eclectic and very cool. We heard Lupe Fiasco, Deltron 3030, and hip hop from around the world. If you find yourself wandering around Ballard looking for a satisfying, cozy meal, you cannot go wrong with Lupe's Situ Tacos!

Came by recently to check this place out. We did a late lunch, early dinner....I guess everyone…read moreelse was thinking the same too because when we came by it was busy. You order at the counter, they give you a number, go find a table, they bring the food to you. Pretty straightforward menu to choose from. We got the nachos w/added meat(hushwe) and 2 Pappas tacos. Didn't take too long to get our food, maybe like 10 mins or so. We got lucky finding a table, a couple was nice enough to finish up quickly so we can take their table outside. -Nachos were pretty loaded, chips were crisp, 2 types of cheese(queso and melted cheese), tasty jalapenos, guac, sour cream and pico. Meat (hushwe) was fine, it's pretty minced up into small bits. -Pappas Tacos were good too, kinda like eating mashed potatoes in a taco shell. Also reminded me of a thin shelled empanada. Shell was thin & crisp. Maybe should've just gotten the meat (hushwe) taco. Staff was friendly, prices were what we thought it would be, glad to have come by to check this place out. Don't forget to bus your own table!

This Goblin swears on all dark magic, that this spot has one of the best fish tacos in Seattle…read more Period. The salsa is fresh, the coating on the fish is crispy and light. The tortillas are fresh and full of corn flavor. The aguas frescas smack like my spiked club into your face. I first tried La Chingona on the road pillaging in Bellevue. I'm so glad I stepped away from the village burning for a second to try their delicious tacos. Is it more expensive than your typical Mexican Plato? Si. Does it taste better than your typical Mexican Plato in Seattle? Si. One other crucial detail. That taco will be buckling under the weight of the toppings. These are not skimpy servings. My shrimp taco was heavy enough to do curls with. Their service is friendly, and precise. To this date, I have never received the wrong order, cold food, a missing drink, etc. Expect hordes of people on the weekends, because you can count on one hand how many Mexican places taste like this in the PNW.

Tonight we stumbled onto our new favorite Mexican spot…read more I was craving birria, and since one of our favorite hobbies is trying new restaurants, I asked in a local Facebook group who had the best birria near us. After lots of great suggestions, we decided to detour and head to Taco City. The moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff -- always a great start. We kicked things off with the Dip Trio: chips, salsa, guacamole, and queso. It was fantastic. The guac and chips were on par with my longtime favorite spot, the queso was rich and delicious, and the salsa had a unique flavor that really stood out. It easily could have fed four or more people. I ordered the birria tacos. They were generously filled with flavorful beef and served with equally delicious consommé. For my personal preference, I would have loved them just a little crispier -- but otherwise, they absolutely hit the spot. My favorite dining partner ordered the Taco Trio -- two carnitas and one chicken. He's an "authentic taco" guy, and he said they were fabulous. As we were checking out, our server suggested we try the nachos next time. Don't worry -- we will definitely be back. This one just jumped to the top of our favorites list.

The Seattle area has a love-hate relationship with Mexican food. Love: Who doesn't love Mexican…read morefood? Hate: Many claims there is no such thing as authentic Mexican food here. Carnitas Michoacan in Beacon Hill might disagree with that. This roomy taqueria is well lit and clearly popular. They offer delicious food at generous portions with reasonable prices. We are very happy with the food and love the salsa bar. I often find a good Mexican restaurant is paired with a good Mexican grocery store next door. In this case, La Esperanza Mercado y Carniceria is next door. Double score! We ordered at the counter, and the friendly staff brings us our food. There is a refrigerator for desserts. The menu photos are from earlier this year. Prices are likely different now due to dreaded inflation. Carnitas Plate - 5 Stars One of their signature dishes, this plate is for the pork lovers. The meat is tender and flavorful. Quezabirria - 5 Stars The quezabirria is another signature dish. The ratio of flavorful meat and cheese in the tortilla is just right. The consommé is sold separately which I opted against. Asada taco - 4 Stars I ordered one just to be different. They taste really good with salsa and veggies from the salsa bar.

It's a cozy taco shop that's medium sized with high tables and low tables. There's lots of pineapples that catch your eye.

I was so happy with the presentation, lovely colors of green, brown, and red! The chukis special puts pineapple on their tacos! Never tried that before in California. The tacos were juicy, filling, and delicious. The pineapples added a great sour sweet taste. Would come here again!

Seattle taco scene strikes again. Ok, comparatively for Seattle these tacos are fine...I guess. But…read morethey reflect the larger subpar Seattle Mexican food scene. It's just not that good. The tacos themselves were pretty dry with standard taco seasoning flavor. The asada and Chukis are serviceable. The pollo is a no-go, super dry meat and no real garnish to speak of. I guess you need to add that as extra? The guac is most like salsa guac, but it's cheap so that explains that. Honestly the mini burrito is better. Better tortilla and flavor. Not sure how that is but...it's true. Maybe because the "quac" doesn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. The inside isn't very nice, just grab and go I recommend. I think this place makes most sense as a late night food truck than a physical location restaurant. It's a good $ value so that's a positive.
