    Chicken quesadilla

    After waiting over an hour in line & waiting for my food they did not make me what I ordered, the chicken flautas, and instead made me a cheese quesadilla. When I told them I did not order the quesadilla they said that they were out of the flautas but did not tell me that when I ordered. I took the quesadilla and it was awful. The cheese was not melted and it was a waste of $14.25. I do not recommend, the food was not worth the money and the customer service was non existent.

    Burrito

    Whatever I said in my previous Mexican restaurant posts --you can disregard. THIS is the number one best Mexican food in Seattle! Located off the eight bus next to grocery outlet bargain market on Martin Luther King Blvd. this truck is churning out some of the most authentic Mexican cuisine! All of it is homemade, and they even have options like Lengua y Tripe! I've had their torta y Chile relleno and I'm even more impressed by their burrito i got yesterday! (For only $1 more I got it "wet" style!!!) They are not open Sundays, so try to catch them during the week. They have a little area for seating, I didn't get on camera ,that is shaded. Portion? Satisfying. Prices? Adorable! (but even if they were higher priced--it would be worth it!!! ) Such a hidden gem! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did !

    Got the birria torta, it was BANGING! Family business currently located in the parking lot of Grocery Outlet. Highly recommend

    I have tried almost everything on the menu, my favorites are probably: 1. Quesabirria Tacos 2. Lengua Wet Burrito 3. Tortas Super friendly service!

    carne asada tacos

    stopped here after a long morning of shopping and site seeing at pike place market. one of the two food trucks that is in the area we were in. the food was decently priced, especially for seattle. pretty average tacos, nothing too extreme nor exciting. seating was outside and there was live music. service was brief and very transactional - no complaints there. if you're looking for late night food a good option to throw in the mix, but a dog in the park was directly across from it. which most people might find to be more worth it.

    Rice and beans with stringy cheese

    Recently el Gran Taco truck came to my neighborhood and I was quite excited. My friend and I arrived ten minutes after they did, got in line where a nice crowd had gathered. I really wanted to love the experience but I can't say I did. I ordered the four chicken flautas which has been a favorite of mine, but this not so much. The chicken was very dry and bland with no real flavor to speak of. The tortilla shell's exterior side was nice and crunchy but interior side was oddly moist. This would result in the tortilla separating when bitten into because one side wanted to cling to the meat while the other broke apart. There was no cheese despite the description but there was plenty of sour cream, a bed of lettuce, and a couple small tomato slices. The rice was crunchy. The refried beans were great, but the tinfoil had been immediately applied while everything was hot resulting in the cheese melting and adhering to the tin foil. I had to scrape it off otherwise there was none on the beans. My friend bought himself both dinner and lunch for the next day. He got three tacos and said they were okay, but not something he'd order again describing the cacti taco like squeakier green peppers. He also ordered the veggie burrito and he rather enjoyed that - flavorful, large, soft tortilla shell. I'm grateful they came - it was a nice change of pace but it isn't somewhere I'd eat again.

    3 taco plate. Carnitas, Asada, Pollo with a side of beans and rice. Red (mild) green (hot) salsa...go green!
    Lesley D.

    I was very happy to see this truck in my neighborhood to change things up a bit during COVID. We ordered three different tacos (asada, chicken, carnitas) with beans and rice. The asada was very flavorful as was the chicken! The refried beans and rice were your basic standard Mexican restaurant variety. The carnitas were pretty dry so I will be skipping that next time. I would definitely hit this truck up again for the asada and pollo though. Their green salsa is no joke either. Good heat!

    Tacos- some beand and rice eaten, 1 taco eaten. Over 13.99 for a taco plate- way overpriced

    Expensive, low variety, poor quality, small portions. Carne asada is taco bell quality, salsa is bland, beans and rice are skimpy and tasteless, i was very disappointed. Even the onions were skimped on the tacos - unacceptable for a taco truck because there are SO many better opti

    I paid $15 for this. Pathetic! I suppose if you don't mind paying astronomical prices for the kids menu go ahead and come to this place.

A sandwich which comes bundled with fries and a sauce of your choice will run you about $18, worth it maybe, but still pricey for what is a premium chicken sandwich.

The first time, I had the chili crisp one and the second time I had the "sweet & spicy". I found Impeckable on a random street in Bellevue one day while walking around and decided to try it. They were like 40 ft from where in the pre-COVID days there'd be 4 different bustling food trucks every day (near the barnes and noble parking lot... /cry). I miss those days - so many options, so vibrant and fun. But whatever, I saw this and was like YUS. They do a good job of posting where they'll be on their website, so if you're on the hunt for them... its at least easy. This place only does fried chicken sandwiches. They have like 6 fryers in the truck and fry your chicken fresh when you order it (maybe a par-fry and final fry situation -- dont know... but it doesnt matter). This makes the chicken PERFECTLY PIPING HOT when it comes out. It's fried literally perfectly - they have their ish dialed in. It's crispy. It's juicy. It's flavorful. Well seasoned. It's fast (like... 5 mins?). There's nothing to complain about -- literallyy. The chili crisp was super flavorful, pretty spicy and greasy, as expected... its like... fried chicken with extra oil on it, lol. But it was just so GOOD. The sweet and spicy, i thought, was more balanced and less messy - sweet, still a good amount of spiciness with a mango-habanero sauce. Both came with slaw on it to kind-of cool it down and add a little bright crisp. The fries on the side were solid, and they give you a dipping sauce to dip them in. Great! Overall 5/5 stars every single day. Consistency. Flavor. Perfection.

When finally eating, I started with the potato/raisin dish which was great. Everything else was equally good. One caveat being, despite getting the sauce that claimed to be very spicy, the spice level was basically non existent (only coming from the jalapeños). But that did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the food! And it was enough for two meals for me. I'll definitely be back, especially to try their fried chicken!
