I must preface this review by saying my rating is based on what's available in Seattle. El Chapulin Oaxaqueno is an absolutely solid food truck and the closest I've found that reminds me of food trucks and taco shops in Southern California. The carnitas plate is delicious and definitely a go to when I want something a little more filling. I've been really into getting the carne asada with avocado lately and it's perfect. It's not the biggest burrito you'll find but it's delicious, especially with the green salsa. They have one of the best green salsas you'll find in Seattle. The service is always great and the food comes out really fresh. Ample parking and a quick moving line make this a taco spot that you should frequent, they're good people who take pride in what they do. read more

Stopped by several weeks ago on a whim. They gave me a buzzer to wait in my car so I didn't have to stand outside. Street tacos were amazing. While I was waiting someone came up to pick up breakfast burritos they had called in. I love breakfast burritos and thought if someone called them in... well they must be really good. I started talking to the worker and he said they had been there for over 8 years in that location. Today I called the burritos in. The challenge for me has always been timing. I've stopped and they aren't open yet or it's late and they are closing. So today was perfect timing and the first thing on my mind when I thought breakfast. I only waited a minute. Super nice and friendly. Update: they were great. More of a beans vs potatoes as the base. I'd recommend and definitely going to buy them again. read more

This place has been on my list for at least a year. West Seattle is a place I don't get to often, so if I make it there 3 times a year, I have to be hungry or in the mood for a specific food just to consider some places on my list. As it happens, I was here, and hungry last night, so I decided to give this place a try. Because of traffic, this can be a difficult place to approach, but the overall location is easy to reach. I assumed it was near the ferry dock. But it's actually just south of the overall bridge near Jefferson Square. I got a Carnitas burrito and was pretty impressed. In most cases, Carnitas in burritos is roasted or simmers, but this meat was actually fried. The beans and rice were also tasty, and the burrito had a kick from diced jalapeno. The hot sauce was also hot and flavorful. My only knock for this place was that the burrito was a little smaller than most trucks, but the offset is the price. The burrito may be 25% smaller, but so is the price making this an outstanding deal. At $10, this would be a weekly stop for me if this business was close to me. I was a little worried, because when I showed up, the place was dead, but while waiting for my burrito, I watched a lot of people line up for food. This is probably the best truck I've visited and highly recommend these guys. read more

If you know, you know--El Chapulín Oaxaqueño is the real deal. This taco truck is a West Seattle treasure that never misses. I go there regularly, and every time I leave thinking, "Why did I even consider going anywhere else?" Let's talk about the breakfast burritos--they're MASSIVE, perfectly wrapped, and packed with flavor. Whether you're team bacon, sausage, or veggie, they all hit the spot. Ideal for fueling your day or recovering from last night's poor decisions. No judgment, just good food. And then there's the birria quesadilla. Oh. My. Goodness. It's melty, savory, and comes with that rich consomé that turns dipping into an Olympic sport. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with taste buds. The staff is always friendly and efficient, even when the line is long (which it often is--because it's that good). You can tell they take pride in their food, and it shows in every bite. If you haven't tried El Chapulín Oaxaqueño yet, stop sleeping on it. This truck isn't just a meal--it's a mood. read more

Everything went well. My first visit and I loved it! Temperature was perfect, taste, customer service and pricing all - awesome! I will be back at least once a week! read more

Stopped in for our first time. We were craving some breakfast tacos and noticed they served them until 3pm. Service: let me just start with the service which is honestly sub par. The guy taking our order wasn't the friendliest and was rude to my wife when she asked about trying a few different breakfast tacos and said they come in 3's but of all the same type. We didn't have a problem with not being able to try more but he was just rude about it. Food: food alone would be closer to 4 stars. I ordered the carne asada tacos which were pretty small but came packed with meat and had good flavor along with salsa, and onion. The chorizo breakfast tacos were good sized and came with egg, potato, chorizo, cheese, and salsa. It was overall decent filling and kind of what I expected but nothing I'd be dying to go back for. It didn't look like there was any seating around there but from other reviews it sounds like there may be some seating now. read more

A decent taco place here in West Seattle. Every time I drove by the aromas would entice me to try their stuff so this time I actually gave in. We ordered their torta (adobada), Quesa birria and Birria tacos. The Torta was the best of the lot and it was good. They could have added more meat but overall it was flavorful. The birria tacos and quesa birria lacked flavor by themselves. However, their salsas both red & green are bomb and can make any flavorless dish taste better. We drenched our meals in their salsas and were content with what we tried. Overall it is a good taco place but nothing mind blowing imo. read more

Great spot for a good quick burrito! My favorite taco truck in West Seattle. And the owner is very nice

Quick little update since I went again this past weekend and I'm so happy for them that they now have a little indoor seating area away from the elements just behind the truck to the right. Again these are my favorite tacos in the greater Seattle area (even over some of those hyped locations in downtown). I have brought a few different friends here from SoCal and Chicago and both have gave their seal of approval on these tacos as sole of the best. read more

So delicious!! I got the asada tacos entree with rice and beans. So happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Guy at the window taking orders was so friendly and smiley. I will definitely be back!! read more

Really really delicious and flavorful tacos. great service. convenient. local! definitely one of my top 3 trucks in the greater Seattle area

Love them. We try to come about once a week for our breakfast burrito fix. We love their food, the speed of service is great and the food is always amazing. Very convenient as we live just up the hill but I would make a drive to get food from here if we didn't live close. They are so friendly and their house made salsa is AMAZING! Totally recommend to anyone! read more

Delicious food & homemade salsas. Have been going here for years to get my burrito fix.

Got a beef burrito, it wasn't anything crazy just your run of the mill beef beans and rice. I do like the fact they didn't stuff it with just rice and beans with a sprinkle of meat here and there (like some places famously do) Salsa wasn't too spicy which was a bumber, need that spice in my life! read more

This truck used to be THE best Mexican in Seattle. Sadly the owners changed hands or something happened here after they moved locations from California to Fontleroy because now it is C level at best. Which is SUPER sad because now there is nowhere decent to get my Mexican on this side of Seattle! I have to drive all the way to Ballard to a great place in Old Ballard. Such a bummer! read more

Right of the bat for some reason I thought this place was a brink and mortar store - it is a food truck. Don't be an dummy like me and just look for a food trunk in the ally between the Pagliacci's Pizza and Lula Coffee. The menu is pretty robust, I was delighted to see a breakfast burritos on the menu. I am a picky person at times (most of the time in fact) and noticed the breakfast burritos on the menu were not exactly what I wanted - they were happy to satisfy my substitution of Carnitas as the protein instead of the options available. The burrito was fantastic, portable and hit all the spots I needed it to after running a race that morning. The taco plate was okay. We got asada for the protein it was pretty underwhelming - it was quite dry. If we came back I'd order the same exact breakfast Burrito I got. read more

One of the better taco spots in Seattle! I came by for lunch and had the carne asada and chorizo tacos along with their horchata. Tacos were really good, very well seasoned and tender meat, salsa verde was very flavorful. Nice fresh taste. comes with lime wedges and all the normal add ons. Horchata was nicely sweet and had lots of cinnamon added. Tortillas were okay, I would love to see hand made at this price point but not the end of the world. Tacos are $2.50-2.75 each but that is pretty on par with most places around here. Staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations. I would recommend street parking on california ave a little down the street, the taco truck is in a apartment parking lot across from a drive thru coffee shop so finding a spot is a bit challenging. All in all great experience and if i'm looking for tacos in west Seattle i'll definitely be back! read more

Do you want some well seasoned tacos? Well, this is the place. The sign that say "coffee and tacos" is what got me. I love trying new places because i might find my next favorite place. They are super friendly and helpful. But let's talk about the food. We got a taco and burrito. I got an asada, al pastor and adobada taco. My favorite was the adobada. So flavorful and seasoned perfectly, hit it with a lime for some tangy and it was a master piece. If i could change something, i would cook the tortillas on the flat top with the juices from the meat. Al pastor was season perfectly as well and so delicious. My least favorite was the asada but that's just the other two were so amazing but still season well. Also, i tried the carnitas burrito and man oh man that was so delicious. The carnitas meat was perfect and tender! All the ingredient together made a perfect burrito. I will definitely be back and recommend some people here! read more

Hands down best Mexican food in West Seattle. Im from California where Mexican food is just superior but this place takes the win. The breakfast burritos are my favorite in particular. Love these guys! read more

When I asked for extra silverware, the server acted horribly offended and declined. When I asked again (adding an extra "please"), the server angrily responded with "fine, but this is coming out of my paycheck!" If that is true, management needs to change their policy. Customers are going to ask for extra silverware and the servers shouldn't be penalized. If it's not true, then that server was a jerk! read more

For those who aren't aware. These guys have moved to Fauntleroy across from Trader Joe's! This is my FAVORITE taco truck in all of Seattle yo! These cats know what's up with the flavors. My favorite item is their pollo burrito but everything else on the menu is delicious as well. Check them out. Look for their red truck in a parking lot on Fauntleroy next to the laundry service place, across from Trader Joe's. read more

Angel and his "El Chapulin Oaxaqueno" food truck helped sponsor our neighborhood block party this past Sunday. The tacos were so tasty...lots of comments from those attending the event! Even better was the way their employees handled orders and added a great personal touch to every interaction. Would highly recommend "El Chapulin Oaxaqueno" for your next catering event...they will knock it out of the park! read more

This taco truck rocks! I ordered two tacos (birria and asada) with a side of rice and beans. They crisped the meat on the flat top which gives it the caramelization that it deserves. The beans were intensely flavored. Even the Mexican rice was very pleasing which rarely happens. read more

Been here a few times and the story has been the same recently. The steak quality sucks. $12 for a burrito, there's an expectation that the meat will be good quality. This "steak" clearly is not meeting expectations. I gave them a few tries to be sure of it. The flavor in the other ingredients, such as the salsas and seasonings are really good though. The quality of the steak just sucks. It resembled steak-ums, not tender juicy pieces. Rather, it was thin sheets of grissle. read more

I would highly recommend this taco truck. Asada burrito had plenty of meat and was a good size The green salsa from this spot is incredible, the tomatillos were so fresh and it was the perfect consistency. Definitely would drive at least 20 minutes to have this. read more

Best Mexican in west Seattle. The chorizo quesadillas are so good. They always have good quality avocados too.

The meat was so chewy I ate two bites (one of the steak taco and one of the chicken) and just threw it out. Was hoping it was my new taco spot in west Seattle! read more

This is our go to taco truck for my whole entire family! Not only do they have tacos there, but they also have the BEST wet burritos (I recommend the burrito plate with red sauce and pork). All of the food is packed with quality ingredients and deliciousness! The staff are also super nice too! We're regulars there and will continue to be regulars! read more

I would give this zero stars if I could worst Mexican food I've ever had. We had chicken mulitas, tortillas are old, chicken is rotten,old lettuce, who puts lettuce on a mulita? Rotten tomatoes as well again, who puts tomatoes on a mulita? 22 dollars for four mulitas for this garbage. Save your money don't eat here. read more

I went to this taco truck and they only had tacos or quesadillas - they didn't have their full menu available for dinner the night I went, which was a bummer because I wanted a tamal. I wasn't super hungry, so I just ended up ordering two carne asada tacos and added on avocado slices. For meat choices, they have pollo/marinated chicken, adobada (marinated pork), asada (beef), lengua (tongue), and veggie. The tacos were a reasonable $2 each (I've been to taco trucks in other areas that are cheaper) and adding avocado was $2. Overall the tacos were all right. It came with limes and radishes. I'm still searching for that perfect taco truck street taco in Seattle (why is it so hard??). Maybe I'll go back one day to get one of their tamales. read more

We had been here before by day and waited a bit for our food. Tonite's decision was here, Taco Time, Tacos Guyamas, Puerto Vallarta or El Chucapabra and we chose here. Called in an order and it couldn't have been any easier. Drive in by the Red Cup sign, park off to the side and scoop your order. 2 carne asada tacos, el pastor burrito and carne asada burrito. All for $20!! Everything was great and tons of meat in everything. Definitely will back to this quasi drive thru read more

Excellent, authentic, real. Rich delicious mole sauce. Service was outstanding as they went out of their way to make us something that wasn't specifically on the menu. Worth the extra few minutes wait. Vegetarian friendly. Would give them a 5-star if the rice and beans were improved just a bit. read more

Highly recommend the tacos! Chicken, Asada, and Veggie are all winners. 3-4 per person should fill you up. If you like spicy, double up on the red salsa - it had me sweating! Also, great value. $2.50 tacos. YUM read more
