After a couple hours of shopping, an appetite was worked up and we were close-ish to Alki. I have had Fire Tacos on my list for a while, so I convinced my little group to come here and I'm glad I did! Inside is super cute and very Instagrammable. It's a good size restaurant, so we had no issue finding a seat. Service was quick and kind - we were served by one of the owners, the husband. Always nice seeing a super involved business owner! For food, I went with the quesabirria tacos and a side of rice and consomé. The tacos were delicious, and very filling. Two seemed to be a little too much, but I think I would've been disappointed had I just got one... The meat was tender, delicious, and had lots of flavor! The consomé was good, but not the best I've had. That said, I was still sipping it at the end once I had finished my tacos... Given the prime location of Fire Tacos, I would definitely return in the summer for a marg and tacos - and I want to try their birria ramen, too! read more

There is a reason this place is called fire tacos... it's honestly one of the best birria taco places around! This chips and salsa are always a key indicator that you've found a good Mexican place. These chips are delish! So you know it's only going to get better from there! The queso birria tacos are a must order. Handmade corn tortillas, tasty birria, covered in cheese! Be sure to get a side of the consome. It's basically like a small broth that makes for the absolute best combo for dipping. We also got the open face taco (vampiro) and the mulitas. All variations of the birria taco honestly that you can't go wrong with because the flavors are on point. Another perk? The ambiance and location - It's right on the beach. So, you can enjoy tasty tacos while checking out the sunset! Food alone this place is a 5. However, I'm giving it a 4 star because service wasn't the best. They brought us out the wrong orders for our table and then had us all switch with each other after we started eating? It was weird but since the food was on point it we tried look past that. Definitely give this place a visit! read more

Fire Tacos - Queso tacos, consume, mulita - Tacos Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great authentic Mexican tacos at a reasonable price. Be forewarned that the spicy pork is very spicy!

The name says it all - FIRE! We have been a few times and it's been a great experience each time. The birria in particular is what keeps us coming back! They have a super fun selection of drinks (see photo) that taste as good as they look. The Birria Ramen is my personal favorite, while my boyfriend usually goes for the Fire Box. We love the quesabirria tacos and mulitas! One of our visits was for Valentine's Day, and they had a whole menu of special Valentine's-themed food and drink options - pink, heart-shaped tortillas included. Another time was for a birthday, and we received a complimentary torta. We loved these nice little touches for special occasions. The restaurant has cute and trendy decor with a fun vibe. Service has been good in our experience. You'll have to find street parking to eat here, which can be tough especially on a Friday night or weekend (I mean...it's Alki, duh). If you're ever in the Kent Station area, they also have a food truck there with a smaller, more birria-focused menu. You can't go wrong with either location!! read more

Fire Tacos - Fun and delicious drinks! - Tacos Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had one of the funnest birthdays at Fire Tacos! We decided to start the fun here and came before the crowd on Sunday around 10a. I ordered the Mexican candy shots & El Jefe Margarita Strawberry Mango swirl. Both were delicious and I loved the chamoy on the rim. Yum. The guac & chips were fresh - but, there's no refills on the chips . I ordered the beef birria nachos and added a side of sour cream and wasn't able to finish them bc they're packed full of goodness! The staff was so sweet and came out with a birthday song & a lot of fun was had with great energy and most of the restaurant joined in. Thank you for a great time and environment and delicious food & drinks! read more

Fire is the best way to describe this joint! Everything we had was amazing. The ambiance was lit, loved the decor as well as the spray paint in the bathroom hallway and bathroom. We ordered the chips and salsa (green) to start. Both are homemade and unbelievably tasty and delicious. It's not your average Mexican restaurant chips and salsa. The chips are a little thicker and the salsa was blended nicely and was bright and fresh. Can't tell if it was creamy tomatillo or a avocado tomatillo but you'll see when you get it. Drinks- 1. I got the Jefe Margarita ($24.99). It comes in a patron bottle, thick slice of tajin covered grapefruit, tajin chamoy rim, and for the margarita mix I got a combo or mango and strawberry dragon fruit. This did not disappoint. I'm already wanting another one! 2. Strawberry aqua frescas-delicious, tangy, and spiked! Presentation was on point. 3. Strawberry mocktail margarita-sweet and yummy. 4. Mango mocktail margarita-sour Food- quesotacos were sooo good but needed way more salt. It was better when dipped in the consumme. The regular tacos, we got carnitas, come with a red tortilla, meat, and pico. I think the filling ratio to tortilla was small. The carnitas was flavored well. Quesadilla is extremely small. The the size of a regular taco tortilla folded in half and cost $5! Perfect for a kindergartener that has a small appetite. Dessert-churros were fresh but needed way more cinnamon sugar coating. Service- slow AF and very unorganized. No host at entrance and it looked like they were running around like a chicken with their heads cut off. Hopefully they get it together, but other than that this place is excellent. Can't wait to come back during summer! read more

Food always hits. Drinks always solid. Busy or not busy, always feel taken care of, especially when Sergio is behind the bar. He makes great drinks and he's super friendly and attentive. This is our go to spot on Alki! If you're in the mood for great birria and bomb margaritas, look no further. read more

4 stars for this place is a travesty!! Food and service are excellent. Wet burrito with pork, Goat tacos, and Goat nachos are 3 amazing options. Every time we come back we ask ourselves why we don't come more often. I'm sure the reviews are complaints about parking or wait time or cost -- forget all that noise and find a way to get to this cosy Alki spot!! read more

Food was good, they have halal options! Beef,chicken,shrimp and lamb. Service was really nice, waitress was not overwhelmed with all the questions about halal options and non alcoholic drinks. Ambiance is authentic and a vibe. read more

Went here because I read a review that they offered halal meats. When I inquired with our waitress about what meats were halal, she said beef, chicken, and lamb. I told her I wanted the asada tacos thinking they were made with halal beef. She said "like I said before, the only meats that are halal are beef, chicken, and lamb" I asked her "what is asada?" She said "steak" so I said "ok, isn't that beef? Is that not halal?" And she responds back with "only the birria taco is halal" I was shocked. That interaction already left a bad taste in my mouth and I didn't even eat anything yet! It was the fact that she felt the need to condescend and start with "like I said before". I get that restaurant workers get a lot of questions but there was no need for getting smart and being rude. Anyways, since the only halal beef option for the tacos was birria, that's what I ordered. FYI, toppings are $1 more per taco. The birria wasn't great. It lacked a lot of flavor and the beef was very stringy. The place itself is nice and Instagram worthy. They play their music LOUD though, so it was really hard to talk and hear during conversations. It's great that they offer halal meats but I won't be going back and I definitely won't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Nice place in Alki beach to get some tacos. I really like the Birria ramen and the agua Fresca mango. It was the first time I tried dragon fruit agua Fresca and I wasn't a really big fan of it... mango one is much more better. read more

I can not even begin to tell you what a great first time experience we had!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! We had all the good things and will definitely come back!

Ok, a taco place in Seattle I might actually return to! Service was pleasant as soon as we walked in. Got a table by the windows. Ordered a few tacos and sides: Birria tacos, one of each meat: beef, goat, and lamb- All were delicious! Shredded, juicy meat topped with a bit of onion & cilantro. I was impressed that I could tell the difference between the goat and the lamb. The tacos were a decent size, but for around $5 or so each, they didn't quite have enough filling. My partner thought the tortillas were a bit too greasy. Overall these tasted great and I would get them again. Consommé- This was flavorful. I just wish it didn't cost extra (other places I've gone include the juice for the birria tacos). Chile verde taco- Very good, tons of flavor. I would get this again. Rice: Nicely seasoned, but mushy. Black beans: Eh, forgetful. We were given three salsas as condiments. The green one was bland but kinda tangy. The red one had a spice that builds... but I didn't like its flavor. The really spicy one in the oil with the spoon was nice when I added a few drops to my food, but not too flavorful. Overall the salsas were a bit underwhelming. So... I had a feeling this place might be overhyped when I walked in. Well, I still think it's too pricy for me to want to come back often. However, the tacos really were delicious enough to return for once in awhile. I'd like to try other meats next time. read more

Heard a lot about these tacos when they were just a food truck in Kent so I was really excited to try their Alki restaurant. We tried several different tacos but was very underwhelmed with flavor. Pros: margaritas were good & shrimp tacos were the best taco of the night. Cons: meat was dry on the carnitas tacos, pollo taco was non-edible and the birria taco did not come with consume. We also ordered an appetizer, the chips & badazz sauce which is their house special sauce. This sauce was so thin it did not seem like it should be a dip for chips but a sauce for tacos so that's exactly what we used with a spoon to add some moisture to our dry tacos. Unfortunately I was spoiled with Tacontainer on Alki with fresh flavorful street tacos out of the black converted shipping container. Miss them so much because once thing we aren't short of is taco trucks but quality tacos seem to be hard to come by. read more

The cool part about this place is that it's by the water. But that's about it. The food is very bland. I got the chips and guacamole, along with a Taco de Birria. The chips were unsalted, and the taco just wasn't good. The worst part about it is that their definition of a birria taco is entirely different than what you would normally expect. There is no dipping broth on the side and the taco isn't fried. I heard about this place from an influencer on instagram. The way they showcased it made it look so good but turns out they were so far off the mark. Edit: the business owner replied below saying it's a common misconception. So it's not just me who had the wrong idea. If it's so common then why not spell it out on the menu so people can know what they're getting when they order? read more

The food and drinks were all amazing!!! Defiantly coming back. Good location too! Shout out to our waiter Salvador! read more

Came here as part of the yelp event but stayed for the delicious drinks and food! I was very impressed by the Birria taco. The combination of beef and cheese was a symphony in my mouth. The ambiance was fun and welcoming. The service was a bit slow at first but this is understandable when an establishment is as busy as this one was. The consume was a delicious hot tub for my taco to take a dip in. I could see this being a great option to cure a hangover. The micheladas were delicious as well. I cannot wait to visit again! read more

As a certified mexican sh!t talker I think their birria tacos are the best AROUND the area. But I think for the price it should come with "copia" DOUBLE TORTILLA. Probably a trick of them for you to not get full quick and order more. The salsas are not spicy at all. We call them white salsas. Its well located and the drinks a little pricy but they are good. Definitely coming back for this gourmet birria place read more

This is the first time I've been here. Just passing through. I had the chili verde quesadilla and oh my god I've never had anything that tasty in my life. I highly recommend this place read more

I live close to Alki and did not know about this place. Thanks to a yelp event I got a chance to taste their delicious tacos. The Vampiro taco was loaded with meat and phenomenal flavors. If you want to elevate this taco try their mild and tad spicy salsas. For spice lovers, ask for their chilli oil and that is amazing (i love spicy food so it was really good for me). Add a dash of this spicy sauce to your taco and its going to be a party in your mouth. Their consome was also deliciously flavorful. I rarely find a well made beef stew and this was right up there as one of my favs. I will be coming back here as a regular to try other items on their menu. They have a huge indoor seating place and limited outdoor seating. If the word is out this place can get famous pretty soon and will be great competition to cactus restaurant around the corner. All in all convenient location on Alki. Highly recommend. read more

Experience was ok, food came out quickly but I didn't find the birria tacos super exciting. Maybe it's because I've been to the original/Kent truck and those just hit different. Service was fine/good. Restaurant is large and open, really strong cleaning/disinfectant smell though. read more

We had a fun experience getting take-out and eating at the beach. There are both indoor and outdoor (small tables) available. It was not busy on a chilly Saturday afternoon. I ordered at the bar, the bartender was super friendly. He helped me pick a spread with different variety of meet, and told me about the history of birria and how it's commonly seen as a wedding food across mexico while I waited for the food. Favorites: I love all 3 types of birria meat (beef, lamb and goat! *Vampiro with beef birria + consome - crispy fried taco topped with juicy beef birria, yum! The consome has a few chunks of meat, and is not overly salty - you can almost drink it like a broth. *Taco with goat birria - my first time ever trying goat birria. After the first bite, I can absolutely see that this place specializes in birria. I didn't care for the mulita - too much tortilla for me. The spicy marinated pork (my favorite and go-to meat) was so disappointing, tough and didn't taste right. Overall, we had a satisfying meal. Expect the higher price tag as it is literally on the beach. I heard they still have a food truck in Kent (where it started) read more

Vegan review: I went here yesterday, 2/13 for their Tacos b4 Vatos Valentine's event. The place was decorum was so cute, especially the corner/wall that had roses hanging from the ceiling. They also had a valentine-themed menu with drinks and food. I looooooved the food! Oh my goodness! I ordered chips & salsa; the salsa has a specific name but I honestly forgot. :( Anywho, I also ordered the (3) veggie tacos, one with all veggies (mushrooms, potatoes, and a type of pepper) and the other two were without mushrooms. I actually didn't mind the mushrooms so I think next go-round, I will order my tacos with everything!!!!! The spice level was *chefs kiss* they know what they're doing!! The food was very filling, I should've ordered four 'cause they were THAT good. I did order a mango, spicy jalapeño margarita but it was tooooo spicy. They definitely leaves the seeds in hahaha not skimping you on bit. I decided to send it back for a regular, mango margarita (photoed) and that was more up my alley! For the table, we ordered some shots, I also forgot their name but they were rimmed deliciously and filled with pink starbursts vodka. DELICIOUS! For as big as our party was, the waitress did a great job! One of my friends did get her meal a bit later than the rest of us, but aside from that, the service was great! Keep in mind, an automatic gratuity will be added to your ticket, I'm sure, for parties more than 4(?). Being located on the water/Alki beach, this WILL be a spot I definitely plan to frequent. I WILL BE BACK!! read more

My friend and I were hungrily walking around in the area and we saw Fire Tacos. We were both down for tacos and wanted to try this place out. We were able to get seated almost immediately, which I'm very glad about. The quesadillas were pretty good, although I wouldn't say that anything particularly stands out compared to other taco joints. I was a bit taken back that the quesadillas were a bit on the smaller side, but they were the same price as the tacos so should I should've expected that. The general vibe of the restaurant was very upbeat and friendly. read more

Food is great, one of the only or few places I know that carry actual CHIVO birria. Strongly recommend the carne in salsa verde, and literally any alcoholic beverage; not only are they really attractive, but tasty as well. **one of the few latino owned businesses.

Waited 30 minutes to be seated. After an additional 50 minutes of waiting after ordering our food, we asked the waitress to just cancel our order. We weren't even offered to have our chips and guac or sodas comped. Was excited to try this place, unfortunately the service was horrible UPDATE to owners post: So your response is don't come to your establishment on the weekends cause you're not capable of handling the orders and you're calling the customer a liar. I attached our check in time. We sat at 7:41 and left your place at 8:50. That's NOT 20 minutes. Not to mention we drove 40 minutes to try your place read more

Customer service was alright but their quality has decreased significantly. They skimp out on salsas if you order online and the burrito I got was so flavorless.

After seeing the hype on social media, my friends and I had to see what it was all about. We visited the Alki Beach location, which was busy, and at the time, it was 30 minute wait time for a party of 3. Service could have been better as different staff would come to our table to help us, and sometimes it would take time to get some help. Food-wise, I ordered the Taco De Birria, and my friends ordered the Vampiro and a few drinks. The presentation of the food and drinks was nice; however, the food was okay.
