Looking for cheap eats in the area while waiting for an event to start Flair Taco was sitting ready. A taco truck with seemingly a permenent residence in the lot it stands in Fremont, theyre ready to serve up some fairly inexpensive tacos. Such was the case the night we visited here. The tacos were serviceable but nothing to write home about. Had to ask for extra toppings, sauces and and napkins. It's like the bare bones of taco trucks - awesome when you see one but you're wondering why it isn't awesome like so many Taco trucks are. Of you're bumping around the Fremont area and craving tacos and/or trying to save a little cash, the flair Taco truck will likely be there. This is fine but it's probably what I'd call and entry level Taco truck, good enough to hold you over but not good enough to return to. read more

Flair Taco - Only seating is whiskey barrel and picnic table - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The SLU location has ongoing service issues. Staff often seem distracted, sometimes even intoxicated or drinking on the job, and more focused on eating than providing customer service. When the food is consistent, it's very good, but the inconsistency is noticeable. Another challenge is the lack of clarity around service style. Sometimes customers are expected to order at the counter, and other times staff come to the table -- it often seems to depend on which friendship groups are coming in or who the staff choose to focus on. As a guest, it's confusing to know what to expect. The owner also frequently appears distracted and in a very grumpy mood. I have seen him snap at customers and argue with staff in front of guests, which creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. I have experienced him in a good mood only occasionally; more often, he seems visibly frustrated. There were some improvements in late summer and early fall, but when I last dined there on November 30, the service had declined again. High turnover, inconsistent execution, and a lack of professional service standards continue to be concerns. read more

The food was unifornatlely flavorless and too expensive. If it was half the price I would have been OK but $17 for half a quesadilla is not it. read more

The bar we went to had a closed kitchen so we resorted in snagging some grub from this truck! Tried: -Al Pastor Burrito ($12) -Carne Asada and Al Pastor Tacos ($3) each -Side of Guac ($2) - small. Everything was so tasty! The Al Pastor had a nice sweetness to it as Al Pastor should. read more

Flair Taco - Asada burrito ($12) and Tacos ($3 each) - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Looking for a late night meal and went to two places that were supposed to be open but were closed and locked, which led to this taco truck. I was surprisingly pleased as the reviews initially made me hesitant. The prices are the main problem here as each taco is $3, so they're relatively high. However, they do have a lot more meat options (6 total options) including beef lengua (tongue) compared to the cheaper tacos that focus on 3-4 classic meats. Got a few tacos and a quesadilla. Meats were all very good but what separates this place from a lot of others is the tortillas. They're fried in grease so they're more greasy, but the best part is the crisp crunch that comes along with the tortilla. This is the case for both tacos and quesadillas, probably including everything else as well. The crispy outer layer of a shell enhances the entire taste. The additional grease also helps, but maybe it's a bit too greasy. I really enjoyed the quesadilla but I'm not sure if I'd justify the $12 price point. Four pieces of a semicircle that are perfectly crispy, cheesy, and greasy along with a generous amount of sour cream and some lettuce, the quesadilla felt pretty well made. It took quite a bit longer than the tacos which is to be expected, but the end result was delicious with stringy cheese as I pulled each piece apart. Again, the price point was the drawback here as I can get more quesadilla for less at other places, so then there's a matter of quantity versus quality which is an argument dependent on the day. Overall a great stop for late night tacos or other Mexican foods whether it's for a late night snack or a meal. When you're craving some munchies, you just want to eat but the greasiness here can be beneficial as well as the fact that each layer of the foods (tortilla, meat, cheese if applicable, etc) are made with care and consideration. read more

Sorry to say, I cannot recommend this food truck. In a city full of exceptional options this was disappointing. I ordered the veggie quesadilla. $12 + tax. A regular size taco with a couple of slices of zucchini. The owner didn't take time to melt the cheese or even heat it up. The cheese was pretty tasteless and was the finely shredded kind you see in low-end store-bought. A touch of salsa, with no flavor and a tablespoon of sour cream. Find one of the El Camino food trucks and you'll be very happy. read more

By far, the worst burrito I have ever had. The rice was hard, the meat was dry, the salsa tasted sour. Also, it was $15. I expected more with this amount of money. Im giving them Two stars because I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. It was late. It was fairly crowded but considering their location, this should not be out of the norm for them. Do not eat here, that's my recommendation until they improve the quality of their food. To the people who say you shouldn't order anything but tacos, I say maybe they should take everything off their menu that aren't tacos. read more

Appreciated the cochinita pibil and the lime-cured shrimp tacos. Best I've had since moving to Seattle last year. Staff was super nice! I'm gluten free and there were lots of options for me. read more

Hands down best taco truck in Seattle. And good people! I eat here at least twice a week and it's consistently bomb. People on here tripping, it's a taco truck get the Fn tacos and you'll be thankful. Bomb carne, bomb salsas, great people. Whoever orders a quesadilla from a taco truck, is invalid read more

The food here is so delicious. They're quick (waited 3 min for 3 tacos) paid 13$ for the food. Would recommend read more

Flair Taco - Asada tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

0 stars. Worst burrito me and my Mexican friend ever had our life. Over priced garbage. Nasty tasteless beans, bland runny rice. Carnitas were inedible thick pieces of chewy fat. Guacamole was gross. Don't go here. read more

El mejor sabor! Best tacos in Fremont! I hit this place after bar hopping & always satisfying. Introduced my friends & they keep salivating when I mention it like Pavlov's dog. The 2 owners Angel & Johnny (Outlander Brewery) are great! Quick & fast service! read more

This is the best spot for late night tacos in Fremont. They never let me down! Quick service, perfectly greasy tacos, cheap prices, and late night hours, what more could you ask for? My go to order is one chicken taco and one lengua taco. Really delish! read more

Flair Taco - Menu - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Extremely over priced. Making sure I never go here again! $15 for a burrito that was mostly Rice and Canned Beans. Barely any meat, extremely over priced. No space or tables to eat on. No salsas or anything offered with burrito either but screen turned to request 18% tip. read more

I would definitely not recommend this place apparently the guy that took my order does not know how to follow directions asked for 4 tacos with no onion a burrito with no onion and 2 plain tacos the only right thing about this order were the 2 plain tacos! The burrito and the 4 tacos had onion went back to let the guy know the guy was completely rude when I went back to tell him so he then proceeded to give me tacos back with literally nothing just plain and to top it off the food is not even that great! If I could I wouldn't leave any stars! read more

Worst damn food I've had in Seattle and the worst tacos I've had anywhere. The "torta" was a slap in the face to Mexicans everywhere. Don't waste your money here, I don't care how drunk you are. There's much better late night options, like jack in the box. read more

Wow. Really disappointing. I ordered a veggie burrito that had undercooked rice, a few pieces of zucchini, a bunch of canned green chilis and NO beans. If I had wanted a rice bowl, I would have gone elsewhere. I'm sure the owner is trying to cut corners to save $$ in what is a likely less profitable business. But please sir, improve the quality of your food and then charge more, or get out of this business. read more

Fast, Cheap & Furiously Good. What started as a starved late-night snack became one of my favorite things. One night sometime after midnight, I was out with a group of friends for some late night drinks. As usual, we got hungry, but by that time, the kitchen at Brouwer's (where we were drinking) was closed, so we had to look elsewhere - the small Flair taco truck just up the street was the easiest answer, and who doesn't like tacos? First impression looking at the menu: 1) Wow that's cheap! and 2) Dang, that's a lot of choices. For under $10, I was able to snag 4 tacos. They're that "street taco" style you'd expect from a good taco truck - couple small corn tortillas filled with your choice of meat, diced onions, cilantro, and the raddish. And Flair piled on a generous amount of meat. In minutes and for less than the price of most cocktails, I was staring at a plateful of juicy, delicious smelling chicken tacos. One bite and I was in heaven. The chicken was incredibly juicy and seasoned to perfection, the meat to tortilla ratio was golden, and I felt better than if I had just downed a slice of pizza. Since that first glorious night, Flair has become one of my favorite taco spots. I've now had their chicken, beef, and lengua (tongue) tacos, and surprisingly, the lengua probably just edged chicken out as my favorite! They also have Mexican hotdogs, which my wife has ordered before and insisted was delicious. read more

While exploring Fremont with friends from out of town we stopped at the Taco Truck to try some of their street tacos. We got Asada​, carnitas, and lengua; and our Mexican​ friend was more than happy to tell us that they are the real deal! And then you have people telling you that you can't find good tacos up here in the Pacific Northwest... Now you know better! They're inexpensive and delicious, and they offer catering! read more

Flair Taco will have you styling and profiling aaalllll night long! Wooooo!! Okay, so that was my Ric Flair impression and, if you don't know who that is, do a quick Youtube search then come back and finish reading this review. Other than the name, this taco truck has nothing else in common with the 16 time world champion and hall of fame professional wrestler although their tacos are good enough to figure four leg lock most of their competitors into submission so I guess they have that going for them. Seriously, if there was a championship belt for tacos in Fremont, these guys would be holding it up high for all to see. The tacos are cheap and delicious which is about all you can ask for from a taco truck and I can't seem to keep from stopping by whenever I am in the neighborhood. I have yet to try any of their other menu items although I have seen a lot of people order tortas and the burritos look pretty massive when handed out so I can only imagine all the deliciousness going on underneath that foil wrapper. If you are in the area, give these guys a shot, they are fast, friendly, and will suplex you off the top of their truck if you don't like their food. Okay, maybe that last part isn't true but you get the idea. read more

Flair Taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First, full day in Seattle and I am ready to hit the town. It was such a pretty day, blue skies and the weather was warm (is this really the Seattle I have heard so much about?) Sitting at my aunt's house, we cousins were put in charge of figuring out lunch. Cousin 1: Let's get tacos. Cousin 2: Yeah, let's get tacos. Cousin 3 (me): (Looking on the yelp app) sure, tacos sound good. After realizing that I had not bookmarked a taco joint, I left it up to my cousin is to pick a place. Cousin 1 shouted lets go to the taco truck (which my aunt from LA looked at him sheepishly, she HATES food trucks period). Everyone else in the family seemed to like that idea. So off we went into the minivan (yes, I said it a freaking minivan! Can someone please pass me a drink! lol) It did not take us to long until we were in a parking lot looking at a taco truck with a small line of people waiting to order. Parking is tricky due to the lot being on the smaller side. Menu is simple, and the prices are not bad either (just make sure to bring cash because the truck does not accept any cards what so ever!) We all decided to order: - 18 tacos (pollo, pastor, asada, and carnitas) - Corn tortilla, cilantro, onions, and salsa. - 1 Mexican hot dog (my lunch) -Grilled bacon wrapped beef sausage, pimento cream cheese - 1 large Horchata - 3 waters -4 sodas The trucks owner was friendly and at times, I could tell a little overwhelmed with that large of an order. However, with the help of his cook, he was able to get our tacos and hot dog out pretty fast (around 10minutes or so). There are no tables or chairs to sit on. So we just stood around the parking lot enjoying our lunch. The carnitas taco was good. The meat was tender and juicy. There was tons of onions and cilantro which I do not really like, the salsa was pretty mild but mixed well with the flavors of the meat. Mexican hot dog was plump the pimento cream cheese was definitely different but gave the dog a spicy yet messy kick! Only beef I had was there was not enough bacon wrapped around the dog! I was surprised when my food truck snob of an Aunt said that her asada tacos were one of the best she has had in awhile. Fremont, you are an awesome town!!! read more

First review, first review! Wow...I'm sorta nervous. Anyway, I drove past this place on Friday and was hesitant to try it without reading a review on good ol' Yelp. Didn't feel like taking the chance of spending my Friday night on the porcelain throne from eating questionable tacos. So, today in celebration of Columbus day I decided to take a chance and indulge in some non-reviewed tacos. Thank you 1492! I went with four tacos: Carne Asada - usually my favorite, very good here. Pollo - great flavor, a little greasy but still very good. Carnitas - wonderfully crispy, just how I like it. Adobo Pork - what a surprise, usually not that big of a fan but this was amazing. Tacos were sorta small, but for $1.50/piece I can't complain. They came with spicy carrots and jalapenos which were good and a green and red salsa which I didn't use as I wanted to enjoy the meaty goodness. Only complaint was the service was pretty dang slow, only about four people in front of me and took about 15 minutes. But, it's a brand new place so I'd imagine they're trying to figure everything out still... Woohoo, I made it. Thanks for reading. read more

Hmmm, where do I begin with this place? How about I start with myself. Being from California, growing up in the central valley, and currently residing in LA, I feel I have enough taco cred to know what's good and what's not. On top of that, I started a personal blog soley dedicated on tacos. So I hope to not offend any devout followers from Fremont. But if I do, don't take it the wrong way, you just don't know any better. I've read a couple reviews about this place, from Hannah L. to be exact, and all I can say is...WTF? I don't think we ate the same place! But we did! I have pictures! I don't remember getting anything you so beautifully described. Shit, you make this sound like God himself crapped out these "cubes of asada"...so "juicy and tender." I ordered pastor and asada tacos, they have no carnitas. My take, "meh, I've experienced better," much better. . The asada was unremarkable, the only flavor was from the oilyness from the grill/asada and the salsa roja that topped the taco. Good flavors...of course, just nothing that should blow your mind. As for the pastor, I'm no strict tradionalist, but this non spit pastor was saucy and needed to be on the skillet a little bit longer, to properly dry onto the pork. Whatevs though, this place did quell my need for tacos...albeit rather plain tacos that could use some work. Eh, I was in Fremont, Wa, and didn't feel like going to the numerous Taco Del Mar's and Taco Times that are strewn throughout that state. Tacos ~ $1.50 Passport Meal ~ $9.50. (it's mulitas if you didn't know.) read more

Flair Taco - pastor y asada - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ordered basic rice and beans. The refried beans are not authentic and come from a can. My biweekly childhood burrito night smacked me across the face. I know that refried bean can taste! Disappointed, but if you are drunk it is probably not noticeable so enjoy. read more

First time I've been to a taco truck in Seattle and have been disgusted by the food... anytime I'm in Fremont this place always looks good and last night I was drunk enough to try and it was FOUL. Cold soggy tacos.. no flavor.. overpriced.. horrible. I should have just went to McDonald's on my way home from the bar read more

I've almost never had a bad taco at a taco truck. In fact, those are always the best: picking up a cheap taco late at night from a truck and devouring it in the parking lot before heading off to the next adventure. Flair Taco pretty much lives up to that scenario, but the taco wasn't as good as some I've had. First, the service was so extremely slow. Their credit card swiping thing was broken and the touch screen on their phone was also working poorly. I was forced to wait like 5 minutes while the cashier was teaching the other person how to make tacos. There is good parking and always a crowd around at night time, even as the weather gets colder and colder -- usually a good sign! The tacos are $2 each, which is cheap but more expensive than other taco trucks in the area. Also, I will mention that all the other options (quesadillas, burritos, tortas, etc) seem to be non-proportionally more expensive compared to the tacos. This makes it hard to try a few tacos and a quesadilla for that cheap price we all hope for. Still I'm not complaining about price here. The meat options are good, and as expected. I went with the pastor, chicken, and beef tongue. The pastor had more of a carnitas texture than the traditional pastor, but it still had lots of flavor. The chicken was super juicy -- like dripping down your hand juicy! The lengua was chewy and tasty as well! There was just something missing. The tacos are a little smaller than I would have liked, but they were reasonably filled. Maybe it was the poor service that spoiled the food, or the fact that I was starving and should have gotten more than three. Either way, something about this place just didn't satisfy me as much as I had hoped it would. Maybe I'll have to come back some other time to try it again. read more

Wow. Everybody next to this place (at 2am, but still) was quite wasted. My favorites had to be the two falling over girls in cocktail dresses and heels, and the couple that was making out and groping each other while leaning against the truck and waiting for their food. (I felt like being a bad person and taking a picture when he started groping her mini-skirt-clad butt... but I couldn't bring myself to do it.) So the food. What I got was one tiny taco for $1.50. It was okay, but I've definitely had better. My friend had a burrito that she seemed to be okay with, except that she had to pay 50 cents to replace her sour cream with avocado. Are the price differences really that much for those two things? I think this place has ruined my streak of amazing taco truck food :( read more

I've never left a yelp review before, but the food was so disappointing I felt it was my responsibility. This taco truck is an embarrassment to Mexican food. As a Hispanic person living in Seattle, it's hard to find good Mexican food. Not only is the food bland, but it's way overpriced. $3 for a taco? Really? I understand most people here don't know what good Mexican food it, but Jesus, I almost want to ask for my money back. I hope the owners take a little more pride in their product and remember they represent our culture in an area where we are few. read more

Flair Taco is bomb. I have been here twice now and I get the carne asada burrito, which never disappoints! Last time I also ordered a few carnitas tacos and they were bomb. This last time I was nervous because there was one white guy that didn't speak Spanish running the truck, and I was worried that they had changed management and changed the food, but it is still under the same owner and management and the food was the same! I would go here again for sure. read more

I waited for the entirety of an uber ride from Fremont to the U-District to eat a single taco.Meanwhile one of my friends thoroughly enjoyed her most recent purchase. The order: 3 pollo, 1 vegetarian, 1 asada & 1 carnitas (all tacos) Before I smoked I offered a bite to my friend. She joyously remarked, "you're a fool for offering this up to me." I was a fool. In my last review I declared vegetarianism. How could I ever give up delicious meat tacos. The pollo tacos were so scrumptious that I crave a taco flavored burp. "I questioned 'is this soft? Is this crunchy?'" My friend (the one who ate her taco in said ride share) said after she finished off her order. I'm currently listening to Maggie Rodgers and am going to see her in concert in a few days. So my final remarks are this: both are worth going back to. read more

Simply fantastic, got the asada tacos and went back the next day to try the al pastor, so... Damn... Good... Eat this food, support a passionate chef. read more

This place is a case study for why you shouldn't place your faith in online reviews. The tacos are bomb.

Can we say hole in the way not even it's a roaming hole in the wall. After just coming from lunch we spotted this and couldn't possibly eat another bite. But I said I can't pass a $1.50 Taco. Well after 1 became 8 I'm not kidding. I tried 1 of ever filling and didn't have a favorite. They are nice and tiny. You can take down many. Nicely topped with white onion, cilantro and radish. Sweetest ladies work inside. This is a hidden gem I suggest you seek out for a quick bite. read more

I don't know if I went to a different truck than all of the 1 star reviews here of if I got there at the right time or what, but the pollo burrito I had there last night was delicious. It was tangy, spicy, creamy and chunky in all of the right ways. It wasn't the biggest portioned burrito I'd ever had, but fine for what I'd expect for $5 street-vendor food. I'd go there again in a heartbeat. read more

Oh my! Quite the tasty tacos. While I HAVE had better and at quite a few places, I still believe I'd rate them A-OK. Especially since the food is HOT and FAST! But by hot... I mean temperature. There's really not any spice to be had...which could be a good thing if a good burn isn't your thing. ;-p read more

Woohoo for food trucks! Seattle definitely needs more of these mobile restaurants around... Came here after a night at the Nectar Lounge. I wasn't necessarily craving tacos but when I saw the truck, I immediately wanted one... or a few. I wasn't sure how many to order so I asked the guy and he said that I could eat three... OK 3 it is then! I ordered one beef, one al pastor and one carnitas... and my fave was the beef. I should've ordered all beef because I wasn't a huge fan of the others, to be honest. They were cheap, too! $1.50 per taco and they were a decent size because I was pretty satisfied after 3. I'm sure an average eater could eat 3-5 for a meal. The bf ordered a burrito and said it wasn't that great so I'd recommend ordering the beef tacos for those who are hungry or drunk or BOTH, after a night in Fremont! read more

Not the best taco truck I've ever eaten from, but not the worst either! There was a vegetarian option for me, but it was juicy and made a mess on the ground. The corn tortillas were fresh and may have been the best part of the taco. The pico de gallo was decent and prep time was maybe a minute. For less than $3, it's hard to not like a quick appetizer while you're waiting a couple of hours for a table to open up at a hot spot nearby. It is conveniently located in the corner parking lot right across from where the Fremont Oktoberfest is held and right on the main drag. It's fairly decent for what it is - maybe better tasting after late night pub-crawling in the area. Although usually if that is going down, so are some Pal'meni czar dumplings! read more
