    Two Quesatacos (left) and a birria taco.
    Lizzy S.

    Fire Tacos has the birria tacos I've been looking for! This was a fun bar/restaurant right on the main strip of Alki Beach. Lots of fun decor and I'm sure it turns up at night! Staff were friendly, but I feel like once we got our food we didn't see our waitress again until it was time for the check. It was cool that they offer beef, lamb and goat for the birria options -- definitely not something you see often here in WA. The consume was flavorful, beef was incredibly tender. They offer 3 different salsas, which each complimented the tacos with different flavors and spice levels. Next time we go I'll be sticking with the quesatacos because they are crunchy which helps the tortilla hold up. Meanwhile the standard birria taco seems to have a steamed tortilla which falls apart very quickly. Total for 4 people, with a few drinks, ended up being about $160 before tip. It's not cheap, but it was a nice treat.

    Loved the food here! This place has a very casual vibe, the servers are really friendly and prompt. The food is very flavorful!! The tacos are huge in size but easily comparable to 2 served in other places. Loved their chicken tacos, good portion size, their side sauces with nachos are delicious. Loved their assorted churros, visited pretty late for dinner, will like to try during daytime. The menu offers wide selection of items, would have appreciated more vegetarian-friendly and gluten free options.

    This is my second time going here and it's been amazing so far. I go with the girls and we rent the lime scooters after and it's so fun. This restaurant is by the beach and the interior is such a vibe. The food is amazing. Never have we ever got something that was okay, decent or not good. We got some shots and drinks. All of the drinks were really good. I get the quesabirria tacos and it hits every time, you HAVE to get the consomé on the side (im salivating as im writing this). We got the same host and honestly he made our night. So funny and sweet. We also get the churro boat? It comes with caramel, chocolate, and whip cream on the side and it's the only place I have known to sell stuffed churros. STUFFED with chocolate, strawberry jam and caramel. It's the perfect dessert after some tacos to top everything off. I will come back here with the girls again!

    Food was amazing. We really enjoyed our tacos and nachos...the best tacos we ever had. We finished the nacho like in seconds LOL maybe we were hungry. It's so fresh and the flavoring and garnish is on point. Service was friendly and efficiency. As soon as the waiter turned away after he took our orders, the nachos showed up. The vibe is fun and loud like a usual Mexican bar/restaurant. It was a nice and warm day in Alki, an area always so crowded and can be overwhelming, on any nice warm sunny day. My daughter asked if we can try Fire Tacos because her bff said it was good. We showed up asking for a table of 4 and were told the wait is about 20 mins. We walked to Ben & Jerry next door and had a small ice cream, sat down and finished it, then got notification our table was ready. It earns a spot on my list to return, especially we live 5 mins away.

    2 asada tacos and 1 spicy pork

    Visiting my son at Akli Beach area and went for lunch. Seated at a great table with a view of the beach. Pleasant waiter joked with us and checked on us several times. Cute decor inside. My son told me the birria tacos are great here, but I ended up ordering asada and spicy pork tacos just to try. He got the quesabirria tacos and gave me a bite. Quesatacos are definitely the way to go here. Nice crunchy outside with the cheese goodness. My regular tacos were good. I wasn't a fan of the spicy pork. It was just spicy with no sweetness at all. Asada was in small chunks. I prefer a little smaller chunks, but this way the meat stayed moist and tender. We both got a traditional margarita which was very tasty. My husband ordered a plain chicken burrito. He said the chicken was tasty. One thing different from most taco places is there was no combo option with rice or beans included. You had to order everything separately if you wanted rice or beans. Definitely a place to try if you like birria tacos though!

    Awesome food and friendly service! Four of us came on a Sunday for lunch and sat outside on the patio (patio is not large). We started out with chips and salsa.....you could tell things were "homemade" and we enjoyed them. My bride ordered the Pollo Bowl and commented on how moist the chicken was and how she loves the the. I went with the Fire Box and absolutely devoured it - everything was outstanding! My son ans DIL also got Birria Tacos and both said they they were delicious. Service was super friendly. Can't wait to come back!

    Cute local place off Alki. Tons of drink variety, but def. not inexpensive. We came on a Sunday. Rainy. Not as crowded. Staff was super friendly. Got the chile verde quesadilla and it was really good, as well as the marinated pork tacos. Nachos were good. I'd come here again.

    I stopped in at Fire Tacos & Cantina today for a Yelp Elite Experience and while there I bought an additional dish and a beer. I arrived soon after their 11:30 AM opening and sat at the bar where I was well taken care of. While there I tried their Chile Verde Quesadilla and topped it off with a pint of Pacifico! The Chile Verde Quesadilla caught my eye by the description in the menu that it won an award from LA Eater (?). I thought it was more like a soft open taco and not the two tortillas surrounding cheese and other fillings that I make at home. This one was unique and the pork cubes were very tender likely having simmered in the chile verde sauce for a good long time. It was very delish! Overall, the staff were friendly and checked up on me for anything I might need. I love their decorations inside and took a bunch of photos posted with this review. In the summer their rollup windows look like they make the place feel more tropical (as much as Seattle weather can get!). I learned they have a location in Kent, they have a food truck on Aurora Ave near Green Lake and will soon be opening a Cap Hill location. I recommend this place for some great Birria tacos and decor.

    A great Mexican restaurant to eat at if you're at Alki Beach! We came here on a sunny Sunday and it was packed. We got their birria tacos and birria ramen. Their birria tacos were pretty good and the consome was made well! Each birria tacos did cost around $5 and the consome itself was $3, so it's a bit pricey here. The birria ramen was good as well, but it's not something I would get again. I wish there was more birria beef with the ramen. The service was great. The server was very nice and helpful. The food didn't take long to make at all, and it's crazy because it was packed. I really liked the ambiance of the restaurant. There's a decent amount of seating. Decorations are extensive throughout the restaurant and they have a great view of Alki beach looking out the windows. Overall, I very much enjoyed my experience here and I would come back!

    BEST BIRRIA TACOS EVER!!!! we stayed in Alki beach for a week and went here 3/7 days, every single time it was good. The service was incredibly fast as well for how busy it was. They have halal options as well!!

    I had the best mango margarita I have ever had there! I'd go just for that. The food looks interesting, but I didn't see a ton of vegetarian options. There are some closer Mexican places that I would choose. Friendly staff and really cute spot.

    Lupe's, imo, makes the best food in Ballard, and some of the best in the city. Its fresh, its…read moreflavorful, and you can taste the care that was put into it. We have eaten there a few dozen times, bringing pals visiting the city, going literally every time we play a show on the strip-- everyone loves them. The tacos are my favorite, but the queso is dank as helllll making the nachos another fab dish. My partner loves the burritos and quesadillas, though I-- a lover of the crunch --cannot speak for them myself. Are there toothpicks in the tacos? Yes! Not only are these two, structural-support toothpicks clearly visible, there are signs all over the shop about not eating them, and whoever runs your food out mentions them to the table every time. Even the merch / tee shirts tell you to watch out for the toothpicks. Its like the toothpick in a club sandwich, or the stick in a corn dog: you kinda have to want to eat it to end up with it in your mouth, ya know? Are the tacos greasy? Also yes! They're deep fried! That is what happens when you put any pouch-style food in a deep fryer: if it is not perfectly sealed, as it will not be with a toothpick, it'll get some oil inside. If you're not into oily food, maybe deep-fried tacos just aren't for you? As for the folks bashing the service: its standard counter service. If you want table service-- someone to wait on you, come to your table for more than just a drop off, etc --this place isn't for you. I worked in kitchens for two decades. Nothing about Lupe's Situ Tacos is poorly made or lacking flavor-- all three options are unique and flavorful in their own right, but the hushwe is an aaaabsolute dream, and the cauliflower is such a fantastic meat-free choice. Prices are on par with a lot of taco-selling restaurants, so idk what folks are talking about on that front. Mayhaps worth remembering who usually writes reviews on these sites (people who go once and like to bitch vs those of us who actually eat here and don't like yelp conceptually)~

Let me elaborate:…read more Upon being turned away from two (!) unnamed Japanese izakaya up the street at 8:17pm on a rainy Sunday evening, even though they are posted as open until 9pm, my little trio fell into the warm, glowing, hip-hop infused embrace of Lupe's Situ Tacos. The hushwe meat? Excellent. The carnitas are "out of this world" (ant Cowboy Bebop fans?). The guacamole felt home-made in the best way. My partner's spicy chicken tortilla soup was delicious -- spicy but not too much so, with a lovely smoky note to it. The service was quick and cheerful. They let us hang out for a few minutes and write our reviews and finish our Jarritos -- even after close. The ambiance was great: colorful, cheerful, and energetic without being overwhelming. The playlist was eclectic and very cool. We heard Lupe Fiasco, Deltron 3030, and hip hop from around the world. If you find yourself wandering around Ballard looking for a satisfying, cozy meal, you cannot go wrong with Lupe's Situ Tacos!

    This Goblin swears on all dark magic, that this spot has one of the best fish tacos in Seattle…read more Period. The salsa is fresh, the coating on the fish is crispy and light. The tortillas are fresh and full of corn flavor. The aguas frescas smack like my spiked club into your face. I first tried La Chingona on the road pillaging in Bellevue. I'm so glad I stepped away from the village burning for a second to try their delicious tacos. Is it more expensive than your typical Mexican Plato? Si. Does it taste better than your typical Mexican Plato in Seattle? Si. One other crucial detail. That taco will be buckling under the weight of the toppings. These are not skimpy servings. My shrimp taco was heavy enough to do curls with. Their service is friendly, and precise.

She was dressed in the most beautiful Día de los Muertos-inspired makeup and outfit, and she brought such a warm, welcoming energy to the whole experience. It really made the meal feel special from the moment we walked in. She took our order herself and surprised us with complimentary conchas on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. As someone who loves Mexican pastries, that instantly won me over. For food, I ordered the pozole and it was incredible rich, comforting, and full of flavor. My mom and sister got the fish tacos and they couldn't stop talking about them. Fresh, well-seasoned, and just really well done overall. This place made my mom's birthday lunch feel so memorable. Between the amazing food and the hospitality, we'll definitely be coming back for both the pozole and fish tacos again.
