Dear Laz, I LOVE your burritos! You really nailed it with…read moreyour vegetarian burritos, and it's amazing that there are multiple options, not just a boring rice/beans/pico and lettuce combo, but actual veggies (mushrooms, peppers, etc) in the tortilla. It's like getting a fruit salad without all the boring filler fruit. Delicious and colorful! Can't wait to try the fried cauliflower version. My partner had the shrimp burrito and said the shrimp were just ok, they needed salt, but better less salt and add if needed. Another thing, we loved that you're open until 8p every day, we could actually find the truck, and the hours posted are the true hours you're open, unlike many other places. It really hit the spot after a day of intense hiking. Can't wait to come back, save some cauliflower for me! Cheers, Liana

My go to order is the #4 filled with shredded beef, cheese, black beans, and plantains. The arepa itself has a nice crunch to the exterior while being soft inside. The fillings come together nicely (who doesn't love meat, cheese, and beans) and the plantains add a perfect sweetness that elevate the flavor profile. It's a hard dish to come by so I'm so happy this place hits.

I just recently found out about this spot and had hoped I found a hidden gem. What I found was a…read morefairly average truck with reviews I don't agree with. It may not sound like I liked these guys, but I found them genuinely nice. I also found the service slow and the flavor less than impressive. I was going to try the taco salad, but was told they no longer do ground beef. No problem, but backup was a Carnitas Burrito. There was about 6 people waiting when I arrived and it was legit 20 minutes before I got my burrito. I always feel like taco truck food is simmering, so you just put it together and that takes seconds, but as I waited, I anticipated and that ultimately cause frustration when I finally tasted the food. When I bite into a burrito, I expect to take everything, but the rice and beans were bland, there was very little meat and the 2oz salsa cups they provide couldn't have had more than .25 oz of salsa in the cup, it was a teaspoon at best. I didn't taste guacamole, sour cream or any spice. Nice people, but it wasn't worth the wait and I've certainly paid less for far better. Tip for earning a better rating. More flavorful food, Batter salsa/hot sauce. Faster service and more meat. All said, I wouldn't return here or recommend. South East Bellevue used to have multiple Mexican Restaurants, now I only know of one and I wouldn't recommend them either. BRING BACK QUALITY MEXICAN FOOD!!!

When every other business is closed, California Mexican Food is still one. As one of the 24 hour…read morebizes in Bellevue, it is a spot where late night heads and non-sober folks seek out comfort food in Mexican junk food form. It is not going to win any awards, but for all intents and purposes, it gets the job done. (#1) There's a drive-thru, which is the preferred option for most late night goers, but there is ample seating and plenty of parking.Given all the wonderful eateries in the city, it's hard to imagine this place as much of any destination. Breakfast is served all day here, so breakfast burritos ($11.50) is where it's at. Their combo plates allow for tostadas, enchiladas, and chimichangas in one order with a semi-mediocre side of rice and watery refried beans. For big appetites, one should strongly consider the choncho burrito ($16.50), which is a monster burrito on two 14" flour tortillas and filled with steak, fries, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese. Prices feel high, but this is also Seattle / Bellevue and they are the only game in this part of town. I'm still not sure how a vegan taco ($4,10) carne asada ($5), is more than a fish taco ($3.99) but duly noted. The service is average as expected and the staff is bilingual in Spanish and English. ___________ (#1) Otherwise known as "hangover prevention."

There is also Costco, Uniqlo, and target nearby if you need to run errands. Family run and the tacos are 5+ each but come with two tortillas because of the amount of filling. I would still give it a 5/5 even though some of the meat options are a bit on the drier side for my pet fence because the poblano one is so good. The zucchini corn one had nice smokiness. This is coming from someone who prefers meat usually. The steak was good. The chicharron is good but if you are expecting crunchy this is not. It's cooked in a nice sauce that is spicy but not too much though my spice tolerance is not low. 3 is good for one person. 4 if super hungry. Great option after any of the local hikes.

My friend and I went to Xochi for the first time for lunch today on one of the last sunny Seattle…read moreafternoons. We came at around noon when they opened and they already had several people waiting on benches outside the truck for their orders. Xochi is a food truck in Gilman Village (Old Issaquah), located near the Brown Bear car wash. It's been on my bucket list for a while as it was listed as in the top Yelp 100 taco places nationally in 2022 and 2023 and also featured in the Seattle Times a few years back. Xochi offers five different meat taco options: - Encebollados (steak & sauteed onions) - Tinga (chicken in a chipotle sauce) - Cochinita Pibil (pork in an achiote sauce) - Chorizo (pork sausage & potatoes) - Chicharron (pork rinds in a spicy tomato sauce) They also serve five different veggie taco options: - Calabazas (zucchini, corn & tomato) - Papas (potatoes) - Broccoli (broccoli & garlic) - Bruselas (brussel sprouts, carrots, & garlic) - Rajas (poblano peppers in a sour cream sauce) My coworker and I tried the ENCEBOLLADOS, TINGA, & COCHINITA PIBIL. She also ordered a CHICHARRON, but I'm not a big fan of pork rinds or fried food and so I passed on that one. Each taco (regardless of meat or veggie) is $5.48 and comes in a double corn 5 inch tortilla. Note that you can only buy single tacos here; they no longer do taco plates as previous photos of the menu have shown. They also charge $0.50 for extra salsa; we ordered one EXTRA SPICY SALSA on the side to share and just to try. The total for 7 tacos and salsa came to around $50 with tax plus tip. The ENCEBOLLADOS were our favorite. The steak was perfectly cooked and the verde-like sauce they put it on it was amazing! It was zesty, a little spicy, and gave the taco lots of flavor and oomph. 10/10 would recommend and get this again. THE TINGA had a nice smoky flavor and the chicken was also nice and moist. It came with a cotija and sour cream topping and went great with the EXTRA SPICY SALSA that we had on the side (which was definitely spicy but not overwhelming spicy). The COCHINITA PIBIIL (which is normally my favorite and go-to order at El Camion) was our least favorite of the bunch as the pork was slightly dry and my friend found it slightly overly salty. It came with pickled onion on the top and was slightly vinegary and mostly savory. Lastly, the CHICHARRON (which I didn't try, but my friend did) was tasty and had strong tomato flavors, but she regrets not eating that one first as the fried pork rind quickly get soggy in the tomato sauce. As far as seating, they have three outdoor tables and a few benches. No seat covering or outdoor heaters though and so you will have to take your tacos to go in the fall and winter. They have a good health rating which is also always reassuring when eating out. Service was quick and we got our food within 10 minutes after ordering. Note that you bus your own table, but they keep the tables pretty clean. Watch out for the yellow jackets in the summer though! So where does Xochi stack in comparison to other taco places I've tried? I would say it's within the top three picks for sure as they are generous with the taco meat and the tacos are very well seasoned and flavored. I think my favorite taco is still the Cochinita Pibil taco from El Camion, but these tacos beat out Pacos Tacos and La Chingona in my opinion, so maybe second on the list for best taco in the Seattle area? With that said, it's definitely the best taco I've had in Issaquah and the Eastside and I can't wait to be back for more Encebollados! Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere.

Here is my constructive feedback: 1- My husband's order was incorrect. He ordered Al pastor, birria, and asada, but he received all Al pastor. Please improve your communication. 2- The asada was chewy and lacked flavor. There is much better asada in other food trucks we tried here in Bellevue, so my genuine suggestion is to definitely improve this to compete with the others! 3- Strange critique I never thought I'd give... the tortillas were not heated well at all! As we went to eat the tacos, the tortillas were at the point of breaking & just made the experience more disappointing. I give this feedback with all respect and hopes that you'll consider improving! Thank you!
