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

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

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.

You place your order at the counter and pick it up at the counter or in the back with the seating is. The seating in the back is tables and benches with umbrella with a first come first serve approach. Your order will be called for pickup in the back if you are dining at the place. The employees are polite and quick, and helpful when ordering. The fried kimchi was a delight. Now, I'm use to kimchi being more on the spicy side with heat from peppers used to make it, but this was mild to a little heat. The miso ginger chicken was a great add on and made the rice that much more enjoyable. I love the egg on top as well. The guava ginger drink is good enough to drink everyday. I love the bold peppery taste of ginger followed by the calm sweet guava. Parking is a challenge as this place is at the end of the water taxi that is always busy. The area always has scuba divers, cyclists and runners.

Another note: I've been here a few times and spend quite a bit of $$ each time yet when I asked to have tiny bite-sized samples of their salsas to see which one I wanted to order a full serving of the manager said no. LOL... so I had to order full sizes of each one. All were very average to meh. So I had a salsa dinner that night, which is low carb right??, so that means I'm basically Kate Moss now

All protein was an extra charge (pork, chicken, chorizo, etc. was +$3, carne asada and shrimp were +$4). Based on past menu pics from 1-2 years ago, protein used to be included in the price. The burrito also went up from $19 to $20. Anyway, times are tough so you gotta raise prices, I'm not thrilled but I can understand, but it should at least be good if those are the prices right?? No, it wasn't. Outside of the tortilla was not grilled, French fries weren't crispy, cheese wasn't melted, shrimp was boiled and unseasoned, green salsa it came with wasn't spicy. Guac inside was ok. Even the presentation didn't wow me. I only ate half and planned to take the other half home but I literally forgot my takeout and left it at the table. I suppose that's how much I cared for it. Tbh I should've said something about the burrito quality when the server came by. My friend got some sort of avocado burrito. It was similarly disappointing. Another friend got the bean dip. That was the best item we got. Lots of chips. Personally thought it was a little bland and could've used more seasoning but overall not bad. Service was great. The worker was nice. We did outdoor seating and loved the colorful benches and plants on the table.
