    TACOS! Every time I visit Washington, El Taco Maestro is a must-stop for me. You definitely get your money's worth, and the vibe is super chill. Their tacos are simple yet so delicious, and they serve them up fast. I also love that they have a hand-washing station at the truck, along with snacks and drinks for purchase. If you're ever craving tacos, this is the place to go

    Our first meal of the trip was at El Taco Maestro. It's a food truck with a sheltered hut to sit in. We dropped in on a busy Saturday (1:45pm) for a late lunch. Service was quick and friendly. Despite the line of customers, our food was ready in less than 10 minutes. Menu consists of a dozen items, 8 types of meat to choose from. One of the few places where all their meats are the same price. They give you a green (mild) and red (more fiery) salsa. - 6x Tacos ($2.50 USD) - two lengua, asada, al pastor, carnitas and cabeza. Good portion of meat in each taco along with a grilled jalapeño, grilled onions, diced raw onion, cilantro, limes and radish. Favourite was the beef tongue (tender and moist). - 2x Tamales ($3.00 USD) - pollo (chicken) and puerco (pork). Nicely sized tamales. Chicken was the better of the two. Pork was a touch on the dry side. Very pleased with the food at ETM. Would happily come back for more.

    Al pastor and Carnitas Tacos

    Was craving tacos and came here to get my fix of it. Got 4 tacos about $2.5+tax per taco - 3 al pastor and 1 carnitas. It was pretty reasonably priced. The meat was juicy and flavorful. They have a small covered sitting area for dining in. Overall a decent place and will recommend.

    I love, love, love this place! My go-to taco truck when I was living in Washington. I'm so glad I got to visit on my drive down from Vancouver. They have a good selection of tacos, burritos, and bowls. I always go for the carne asada tacos and a cup of horchata. The price is not too expensive and the tacos are good quality and delicious! They never skimp out on the toppings too. If you want extra sauce, I think it's an extra 25 cents. The service is always quick and friendly and there's plenty of parking. There's also a seating area right across the taco truck. Cash and credit card accepted!

    This is a no-frills, taco truck/stand with really friendly service. The tacos are so delicious, one of the best I've had in the north of Seattle area, and I will definitely be coming back here time and time again! Also if you like spicy, the red sauce will make you sweat - but in a good way!

    Found my new favorite taco/burrito place! Big portions! Service is always great and friendly as well. Been looking for a good wet burrito place and I believe I found it.

    Put all the tacos on a platter for our event! Was so tasty!

    I've been coming here for years for lunch and dinner and the food is always amazing! I typically get carnitas or adobada tacos and sometimes the quesadilla. My son really wanted tacos for his birthday party so I called the day before to see if they could do a large order of tacos and they were able to do it for us! We ordered 12 carne asada, 12 pollo, 12 carnitas and 12 adobada tacos. Everything was fresh and hot and ready to go when we came to pick it up right after they opened!! Highly recommend for lunch, dinner and even parties!!

    If you're driving late in the evening you may have just missed them. Just on Evergreen way, driving north they are on your left. Quick and simple food with one of the nicest people working there

    Asada Tacos
    Jasmine D.

    Amazing food, prices, service, everything! At first I was a little skeptical because it was a food truck in a weird gravel lot, but then I remembered that those places are usually the most tasty! I went during an off time so there were only a few people there thankfully, and I ordered 4 asada tacos (although I think next time I'll order 5). The tortillas were fresh and soaked with the juicy goodness of the beef. It was toppes with plenty of cilantro and I was given some limes, pickled radish, and salsa. I honestly don't know what else to say except that it was so freaking delicious and at such an amazing price for what you get and that everybody needs to try this!

    Luna Mexican Grill - Campechana (cocktail with shrimp, octopus, and scallops), you can order it hot, warm or cold. In my opinion it tastes better cold.

    In short Clean, bright, friendly family-style Mexican place…read more Full bar, plenty of TVs. In long I definitely miss the awesome Thai place that used to be here, but Luna offsets that nostalgia. They're doing a great job. There's a cool courtyard, with iron fencing and gating that seems to suit the Mexican decor even better than it did the previous tenant. There's a good-sized winding dining room indoors too. Brightly-colored paint, nice matching tables and chairs, some big screens probably tuned to the game. Service is right on point, cheerful and low-key, ready to make you feel right at home. You get a menu right away, water with chips and salsa in a minute or two. The drink menu isn't the main focus, but you get basic versions of most anything. I had a Luna Margarita with lots of fresh fruit in there--even had to clear the straw at one point. The chips and salsa are generic. Just pico and tomato sauce stirred up. Would be nice to see them make something in house, but not too many places do that (fewer than you might think). The carne seems to be the star of the show, and it was tasty. Ordered medium and came out closer to well, but still fully tender and juicy. Tortillas were fine, the roast corn and scallions were good, and the rice and beans held up their end of the bargain. Little bit of guac and fresca in the middle of the plate. They're working hard for your Mexican food dollar, and if you're anywhere nearby, they're easily worth a stop.

    We went here for a double date last night! Hostess was super friendly and accommodating as we…read morewalked in and asked if we prefer a booth vs table so we picked a booth! She took us to the back which featured a bar area and twinkling lights on the ceiling! Loved the plants and decors on the wall. Our server was so attentive and kind! Me and my girl friend's husband ordered the Mar Y Tierra, thinly cut steak with garlic shrimp and mushrooms on the slide with rice, refried beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and choice of corn or flour tortillas! The steak was my favorite -- so juicy, tender and flavorful! They have a great variety of drinks! I got the watermelon basil margarita. They also have Jarritos soda which, my girl friend tried the guava and it was good! You have to get here before peak or you may not get a parking spot. They do have parking at the back but I bet if it's a peak night, it'll be crowded. We will definitely be back next time!
