Carne asada burrito
B S.

Ordered one regular burrito, carne asada. Very good. Prepared fast. Great taste. Came in a bag with requested hot sauce.

Taco truck
Monty H.

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.

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.

Great taco truck! Lots of flavor, just the right seasoning! I happened to be driving by, starving! I wish they had diet coke, but oh well. Enjoy.

Carnitas & Chorizo Tacos
Evan T.

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.

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.

It was your typical average latte. I did like how strong it was and it came with a kitty paw! (Barista said he was inspired by his cats that morning lol). I tried both sweet and savory dutch babies, and even though I'm a savory person, I liked the sweet one better. It was creamy and bread was soft! The fruits added the perfect texture and sweetness to it. The savory was okay, keep in mind this is also my first time trying a dutch baby, but I would have liked it to have more veggies maybe? I think I was expecting more of it but it was mid to me. The breakfast plate wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Just your basic breakfast plate. The place is super cute and a bit small! It was a sunny morning so we had a lot of light coming through which I loved!

What a delectable meal after a 4 hour bus ride Came here…read moreafter dropping off our bags at the hotel, since it was just a 5 minute walk away. We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions. Can't wait to come back to try their other food and bev options!

I appreciated that this location has both spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Despite being busy, this was not packed with ample seating still available and not cramped. Nice chill vibe with good music, healthy foliage and pleasant indoor decor, with a reasonable unidirectional service line. Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon. They've been an indie (Cafe Hagen/Freya) that has expanded to many locations: here in SLU, two on Queen Anne, downtown on 5th, at Dexter, the Waterfront, Freya in Pike Place Market and Nordic Museum in Ballard, plus sites over in Bellevue and Kirkland. Support local!

I haven't…read morebeen to this location before and I preferred it to my usual location on Roosevelt in UDistrict. It's much more open and comfortable and lends to a nice ambiance. It was quite busy which we anticipated, so I would highly recommend making a reservation. We were seated right away with our reservation time, but it did take some time to be served. I enjoyed the hot coffee with a bit of cream. It was good; my only comment is that I wasn't offered a refill at any point, and we were there for over an hour. To be fair, it was SUPER busy; like at least 100 people in the dining room. I had one of their seasonal specials, the peaches and cream Swedish pancakes. It was a generous portion included with a trip to the berry bar. The berry bar was very fresh and well maintained as far as cleanliness. It was also in a prime location, near the tables but not too close and not in the way of the walking path. The peaches were juicy and sweet and the cream cheese frosting was a decadent topping. I added some berries which made it extra special. I liked the caramel shards, but they were a little on the thick side for my liking and were a bit tough to eat. However, I really enjoyed the dish overall! I also got a side of peppered bacon which was well-cooked, crispy, and extra peppery. My friend got the classic French toast and a side of potatoes. She loved the French toast with the included berry bar trip! However, the potatoes were cut into HUGE pieces which were difficult to eat even though they were cooked through. I would definitely come back here! If you're looking for a popular brunch spot with delicious sweet brunch options, check on Portage Bay Cafe SLU!

The potatoes were dry, the Eggs Benedict were overcooked, and the English muffin was lightly burned and unpleasantly chewy. Although the service was good, our dishes were brought out at different times, and by the time everyone received their food, some dishes were already cold. For the price, the quality and execution were not acceptable. We used to enjoy coming here, but unfortunately, this visit was a significant letdown. I hope the restaurant takes the feedback seriously and works on improving both the food quality and consistency.

It's nice to watch the staff cook because it tells you that the food is fresh. I have high expectations for seafood in Seattle.

I'm not a scallop expert but this one missed the mark - the flavors were off with the sauce (tasted earthy). Presentation and color looked good, but this didn't taste good. Also came here breakfast several times. I don't have pictures, but each time the breakfast was amazing!
