let's just say that this filled me up with so much food i didn't eat for the next 22 hours for the price (only 12 dollars) that's a ridiculous portion size where to even start these seemed to be soft tacos, but with a full melted cheese covering on both sides of the shell i would say that's my only slight disappointment - that these weren't really crispy at all - there was no real crunch when i would bite into one of them - rather it was just slightly harder than a soft taco the cheese did add a great flavoring to the outside though - making this more than a normal taco shell each taco was absolutely overflowing with stuffing - it got to the point where the plate became another full meal by itself from everything that fell out of the taco the two main components of each taco were the cheese and the chicken the cheese was so perfectly melted - may have been the best cheese in a taco i've ever had it created such a satisfying cheese pull every time you took a bite - and it was one consistency throughout, meaning every time you took a bite you had to pull the cheese away from the rest of the taco - which was just fantstic as for the chicken - i was slightly disappointed that it wasn't spicy in the slightest. However, it still tasted like it had a really nice flavor, and had a soft interior. It being actually spicy would've moved this dish up a lot, though each taco was primarily made out of this chicken - and there was so much of it it was practically insane - but I loved this amount shoutout to the onions as well - they were great I asked for the habanero sauce - which i thought was ok - wasn't spicy at all and didn't add much flavor. will go with another sauce next time tried mixing in some taco bell fire sauce which was interesting i love that these came wrapped in aluminium foil to preserve heat. a great touch overall, as far as taste, these were pretty good, but when you consider the amount of meat you're getting, along with overall portion size - it's simply a fantastic meal. read more

El Camion - Los Gallos Rojos - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Guys. It is 3:38 PM. We ate both the beef tacos and the fish tacos. Good flavor five star Customer Service as usual. But maybe we came after the lunch crowd and both the fish and the Carne Asada was overcooked. I might Maybe was it just leftover after the lunch crowd. I've never had a less than five star food experience here. Maybe we should just give it another go. I really want to love our experience. This one needed a little bit more salt, but definitely needed to pay attention to not being overcooked. I'm sad. read more

It's hard for me to admit...... but this was actually my first time trying mole lol. I'm a sucker for Mexican food (just all food if we are keeping it 100 lmao) so I knew it'd be fire no matter what.... What I don't expect was for the quesadilla portions to be HUGE lol. Considering the taste + portions + reasonable pricing, I'd rec this joint any day if you're craving some take out mex read more

El Camion - Pollo Mole Quesadilla - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great food, we got the wet pork burrito (not carnitas, don't remember what it's called) It was the size of my head, delicious for my husband and I to share. I walked down from the brewery, the guy managing the cash register, taking orders, had a very stern face, but he took my order, which I asked for no dairy and specifications and they did a great job. It's just a little walk up camper, food truck with some tables covered with pop up tents to sit and eat if you want to do that there. We took the burrito back up to the brewery to enjoy. read more

This place is amazing! Absolutely amazing! The food is delicious it's affordable and you get a lot of food. The staff is super nice and I love their little seating area with the lights. read more

Really good tasting food! Some seating areas there so you can eat them fresh off the grill. I'd see it as a bit more upscale/urban than usual Mexican places. Recommended! read more

Their shrimp burrito here is the best burrito I've ever had and I typically do not get burritos! It is jam packed and they don't skimp on the shrimp. They have an array of salsas that brings it to the next level. My favorite to pair with the burrito is the habanero and avocado. We always order online for pick up and it's ready pretty quickly. This location has a parking lot and tables right by the truck. read more

Always so busy whenever i drive by so i thought i would give it a try. I ordered shrimp tacos and a quesadilla with carne asada. Shrimp taco was very loaded and the flavor was just ok. My quesadilla was HUGE but when i took my first bite i bit into what was the nastiest piece of just like pure beef fat or something. It really ruined my appetite so i ended up removing all the beef because it grossed me out so bad. A lot of the cheese wasn't fully melted and there was more meat in it than cheese so I didnt even bother eating the other half. The service was good it was a bit of a wait for my food since there was a bit of a queue ahead of me. Unfortunately i dont think i will be back read more

El Camion - Quesadilla - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Portions are absolutely massive and such great value for the price. Taste is good, not great but the variety of salsa's and never feeling hungry after leaving this place makes it a consistent place to swing by. Haven't really found awesome mexican food north of cap hill yet but this will do for now. Recommend either a burrito or torta and get as many salsas as you would like. Service is great and clean for a food truck. read more

Wow, this food truck is so popular! My husband and I got dinner for a Tuesday trivia night at Burke-Gilman Brewing, which is next door. My husband ordered a chicken quesadilla with chicken and veggies, which was HUGE! (He ate it over three meals) He said he would definitely order it again. I got two tasty tacos, the chicken mole and the grilled fish, which had good flavors and textures. You can order at the window or pre-order food online, which I highly recommend due to popularity, but considering the number of people ordering, the wait was reasonable. The guy taking orders was considerate and communicative; we totally understood the wait when he said he would be right with us as he quickly sent the previous order. Though they were slammed, orders went out with impressive ease. When we got food, we chose from a wide range of salsas, from no spice to very spicy. The non-spicy aguacate and mild verde I tried had great flavors and consistencies; my husband really liked the roasted and medium red salsas. There is a covered seating area with string lights near on each end of the food truck. Although rustic, the areas were comfortable, clean, and tidy. Great prices for tasty food made with good quality ingredients read more

If you have a big order the wait will be long... waited 30 minutes for our order, not a big deal except - others who ordered after us got their food before us.. Talked to locals in the area and was told "if your order is big, they push it to the back of line." :/ The tacos were not good. We had a variety of them and all of them lacked flavor. The Arroz con pollo was better. read more

I've been coming here for years and I love it! Their food is consistent, their prices are good for the amount of food you get, and you can tell they use high grade ingredients. The employees are always super friendly and the seating area is always clean. 10/10 read more

I came here because a friend recommended it, saying it was one of the best Mexican food trucks around. As a true food lover, I had to see it for myself and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and my friend got the Mexican plate no joke, it was possibly the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. So flavorful, fresh, and well prepared. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

El servicio al cliente fue horrible. Tuvimos 3 burritos y un plato y dejaron ir a 8 personas antes que nosotros. Me dijeron que nuestro pedido era más grande, así que lo pusieron en la parte de atrás porque los demás solo tenían un solo burrito, así que hicieron el suyo primero. Tardé 40 minutos en conseguir 3 burritos y un plato. Fue muy desdeñoso y nos ignoró mucho. Y me miró y dijo que no, todavía no read more

Was so sad when I found out the West Seattle location was closed that finding this was heaven sent. This will always be my favorite truck. I had a late lunch so I ordered to go before heading home. Had a single order of fish taco with beans and rice. I also stocked up on the tamales because it's my literal favorite. I wanted a chicken mole tamale but they were out so I settled for pork verdes and a chipotle for my dinner/ lunch the next day. There was a lot of people waiting for their food when I got there but it moves quickly. Lady working the window was nice. She gave me a bunch of habeñero salsa when I asked. It's literally so good I could probably drink it. Had the fish taco with rice and bean for work. Everything was so good and hot. The tamales the next day were amazing! Definitely going to stop by anytime I near a food truck! read more

Food was amazing, staff was kind and helpful, even making jokes. Took some time but it was BUSY so what can you expect. it's worth the wait! next time i'll try one of their spicier sauces to go with but the hatch was yummy! got three tacos and a burrito for two. next time two burritos!!! read more

You need to stop taking online orders if you can't commit to having them ready within 1.5 hours of ordering. The food is great but having to wait over an hour outside for the food to be done is unacceptable. read more

Really really solid mexican food- better than what you can normally find in Seattle. Big portions and cheap prices. I always come back here when I'm hungry and in the area. The people working there are nice and helpful. I am a fan for life read more

The food here is so delicious and flavorful! I'm not a vegetarian, but they have really yummy vegetarian options. They accidentally gave us a vegetarian burrito one time...but turned out to be one of the most flavorful burritos I've ever had! Everything was seasoned well and on point!! Generous portions too! The tamales are my fave. Very moist and again, seasoned so well! I've also had some of the hot plates, such as the enchiladas and pozole and they never disappoint read more

Food was good, although the guy attending is super rude to the clients He could use some customer service training read more

This pains me, as their food is soooooo good! But the long wait times and complete disconnect between the online ordering system and reality are too much. Last night, we ordered online at 5:00pm and their own online ordering system said the food would be ready at 5:30pm. We arrived at 5:40pm and they said they were still working on the food. At 6:05pm, they said "just 3 more minutes" but we didn't get our food until 6:20pm, almost an hour after their website said it would be ready. No apologies either. I understand that things can get busy, but they consistently run behind. Last night was just the worst example by far. They need to update their system to reflect actual wait times. My young kids had to sit in the car for 40 minutes and we were late for a picnic. If they'd been honest about how long it was going to take, we could have planned accordingly. Very disappointing. read more

This location is usually busy with folks from Children's Hospital so timing is key when coming here. The wait could be pretty long. But it's worth the wait. The food is always delicious and the servers always friendly. My last order was the El Camion Burrito and my wife ordered 2 carne asada tacos. The burrito was huge and every bit tasty. Had to save half for another meal. There are stand-up tables for eating there but we usually just take away. Parking may be tricky, especially during the busy times during lunch. read more

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the food is not good. The food lacks flavor, truly no flavor and needs lots of salsa to add taste. The different meats are often dried out but especially the asada which is so disappointing. I live nearby and wanted this place to be tasty so I can frequent it but after multiple visits I cannot get on board with the food. This last trip there were bones in my kids tacos. The service is decent but the wait for food is very long, they take call-ins that adds to the wait. Back on the search for flavorful tacos in the neighborhood. read more

Everyone talks about how good this place is. I've been three times including Mexican friends from California and they are not impressed with this place. Salsas 5/10 Tacos 6/10 Burrito 6/10 Maybe it's good for seattle, but it's no where near the quality or taste of California Mexican food so don't let people fool you. Doesn't live up to the hype in my opinion. read more

This is a solid taco place, however, I thought my fish tacos were a little underseasoned, but the birria tacos are good! I would recommend ordering online and for pickup, cause in person was a 30-minute wait on a Thursday afternoon. Parking is small, and service was pretty standard. read more

This was my second visit here and I finally got pictures (well, kind of lol I started eating and realized I forgot to take pictures- it was THAT good) This is officially my favorite taco truck in Seattle! When we arrived at 8pm, there was still a really long line but it went by quickly and we waited about 20 mins total until we got our food. I recommend ordering online and doing pick up! We found this on the way to Magnuson the first time and their tacos were so good and have greattt portion sizes!! We ordered fish taco, shrimp tacos, and carne asada tacos and they did not disappoint!! Also, this place offers 8 different types of salsa- we got verde and habanero and my mouth is still burning from the habanero. I'll definitely be back very soon and I'm excited to try other things on the menu read more

I'm a regular here and am always happy with their food and quick service! The birria tacos and burrito bowls are the best!

I really enjoyed the El Camion burrito with lengua! Be sure to try all the salsas that you can grab at the side of the food truck since those were also super good. My only complaint was that the inside of the burrito was a tad too wet, probably because of all the black beans. read more

Absolutely delicious Mexican food and great portion sizes! Picked up take out from the food truck. Chicken Enchiladas with Mole ($13.25) - incredible flavorful and came with amazing rice and beans and loads of fresh avocado. The mole sauce was well made too. Arroz con Pollo ($13.50) - massive pile of chicken, veggies, and rice smothered in melted cheese. So yummy! And OMG, those house made salsas! That chipotle one is my favorite. Get them all and dump them on everything (careful, the habanero salsa has a kick!) read more

El Camion - Chicken Mole Enchiladas ($13.75), Arroz Con Pollo ($13.50) - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

WOW, WOW, and WOW!!! I've raved about El Camion before and I'm RAVING again! After a long week of work, I decided to treat myself for some tacos. I went at around 3pm today for "linner", and I couldn't have made a better choice. Usually I order the shrimp burrito or the camarones a la diabla (which btw is super spicy!). I've also gotten the plato mexicano with chicken and tamales. You can't go wrong with any of the above, but I was craving tacos and so I decided to give them a try. I ordered one fish taco (+$3.30), one pollo mole taco (+$3.25), and one taco with cochinita pibil (Yucatan seasoned pork) (+$2.90). On the receipt they called it a "3 Taco Plate" for $9.80 so I'm not sure why the total added up slightly more than the individual taco prices added together, but whatever. The other thing I love about El Camion is that they are enrolled in the Clover Rewards program (for every 60 pts (I think 1 point = $1), you get $5 off) and so I got my tacos for $4.80 plus tip and tax. Tbh I don't think I've had a dinner for under $5 in my entire life and so it made my experience just that much more enjoyable! I got my order within about 5-7 minutes of sitting down on their patio (which has heated seating- another score!). Note that if you come here during their normal lunch or dinner rush hours, you usually wait closer to 15- 20 minutes after ordering. The tacos were LOADED with protein and toppings- no cheap shredded cabbage fillers here! The corn tortillas had a great chewiness and didn't break under the weight of the toppings, granted that they double the tortillas. I liked that the tacos I ordered each had their own distinct personality and flavor; my taste buds definitely were not bored! The COCHINITA PIBIL (Yucatan seasoned pork) TACO took home the gold; the pork was tender, moist, and flavorful- everything that you could ask for, which is funny because it was also the cheapest of the tacos... supposedly. The FISH TACO took the silver; I really liked the smoky chipotle sauce drizzled on top (they call it crema agria especial which is different from mayonaise apparently); it definitely added a kick to the dish. The fish is grilled and while it was slightly dry, it still had good body and texture. It was topped with pico de gallo and cilantro adding a nice contrast in texture. Lastly, the MOLE POLLO TACO took the bronze; while it had a good sweet and savory balance, the consistency and taste almost reminded me of a less sweet BBQ sauce. Not sure how I felt about it, but I liked the avocado on top! I got the mortajado and verde salsas on the side. I've always liked their verde, but the mortajado (which I tried for the first time and is supposed to be one level spicier than their verde) fell flat for me. It was just too watery, but honestly my tacos had so many toppings and tastes that I didn't even really end up using the salsas. Service was great. Again, they can be kind of slow depending on the time of day that you go, but the staff members are always super friendly and upbeat. Overall: 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere read more

This food truck offers some of the most flavorful, delicious, and generously portioned Mexican food that I've ever tasted! I'm confused by the negative reviews as everything I've tried off their menu so far has been 10/10 on the yummy scale! Today we ordered some chips with guacamole & pico de gallo, one order of enchiladas (2 chicken & 1 cheese), and one pollo mole burrito. The total came to about $30.00 keeping in mind that the servings are massive and definitely large enough to share. El Camion at Sand Point offers covered seating and decent parking near the food truck. The service was quick and friendly. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out! read more

Came for dinner on Saturday and waited over an hour for our food. There was no warning about the wait time upon ordering.
