#8 Carne Asada Burrito
Anthony S.

This place is a hidden gem located inside the Lakewood Crossing 76 Gas Station. If you are like me and miss having a local joint for authentic Cali style Mexican food, this place is for you. Excellent menu and the food is fresh and hot every time. I have had the asada tacos and the asada burrito. I'm hooked on the burrito right now. Filled with rice, beans, pico, and meat...it's delicious and hits the spot! The green and red salsa's are great. Give them a try!

Carnitas Tacos and Taco Salad. Entry to the gas station store.

My husband and I love coming here once a week for our tacos. The service is great and the food is good! Claudia is friendly and helpful. Everything we've tried has been good but I mostly come for the carnitas tacos. It's to the side of the gas station store so my husband goes in there too get a fountain drink as the restaurant only has bottled soda. The horchata is good too! They're closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Are street tacos your thing? Well look no further than this cute spot! This was the first spot we…read moretried after moving to the area. I tried the carne asada and pollo street tacos!! The pollo definitely hit the spot. It had so much flavor. We like to have one or two places that come in clutch for street tacos. This is our go to. Getting in can be a bit tight depending on what you are driving. They have a good sized menu and you can order through the drive through. If you want to eat them fresh once you get them, they do have a few parking spots. Feel free to order in Spanish too! Also, if you need to quench your thirst they have delicious Horchata and other Agua Frescas. These are legit street tacos so if you are starving get a handful. You won't be disappointed!

Okay this is a small place with no dining room that I can see. Looks like drive thru only but there…read moremay be a walk up window since there is outdoor seating. I got the carne asada burrito. They handed me what looked like a rolled up newspaper wrapped in foil but it was the burrito! Filled with carne asada, rice, beans, and guacamole it was definitely filling. I'm usually not a rice and beans in a burrito guy but this one hit the spot. I ate the whole darn thing and I'm not sorry. The prices looked reasonable in a world where you can drop over $20 on a hamburger. I shall return.

Some of the best Mexican north of White Center! Very kitschy decor but for me, it was endearing,…read morereminded me of some of my favorite mexican restaurants in south texas. Ordered the chorizo queso and we nearly fought for the last of it- Husband got a smothered burritto and was making happy noises the whole time, I got the beef enchilladas with mole - very sweet if you're into that. Amazing service as well.

A friend of mine live here and normally we meet somewhere closer to Seattle, but this time I…read moreinsisted on coming to his zip code, when I asked him about Mexican food, he said there wasn't anything good in town and that he normally goes to Everett. I didn't buy it because I know Marysville has Las Margaritas and La Hacienda, 2 places I grew up with in Seattle and although, one left the city and the other has closed locations, I'd like to believe either can still serve a respectable plate. So, I found this place and suggested it and this is my report. $25 for lunch was a bit steep, that was just the entrée with tax and tip. No beverage or extras. Salsa was okay, could have been hotter. I aksed for something hotter, but they said they didn't have anything. Pictures showed multiple salsas and bottles of sauce, but we weren't offered any. The plate came with healthy portions of rice and beans. But the portion of Carne Asada did not impress. It also had the smaller portion of guacamole, it was like a half teaspoon, not enough to compliment the entrée. I won't drag this out. The food was pretty good, it did take some salt and pepper to really pop, but it was better than any local chain Mexican food. I will also say the service improved from cold to friendly and neither of us left hungry. Speaking of cold, there was no hot water in the restroom. I don't know why the Health Department allows this. It takes soap and hot water to wash hands. If there is no hot water, you are not a clean restaurant in my book. Still, I'd probably give this place a 3 with a point deduction for price and for not appearing to offer the same menu items previous reviews advertise. Fastest way to earn 5 stars is to increase the protein portion and put hot water in the restroom. For the record, there was a supreme Enchilada special for $12. That is very reasonable and also why I didn't hesitate to pay $18 for the Carne Asada Lunch, I just assumed, I would get the same value, but did not. This place is worth checking out, but it was also empty and I can see why. If I were back in the area, I would most likely try Las Margaritas or La Hacienda. I feel confident my dollar goes further there.

This last weekend my wife and I were out and about finishing shopping and wanted to pick something…read moreup for lunch I had noticed a hotdog stand in a shopping store parking lot and had been thinking about giving them a try but they were a no show. So heading north we noticed a taco stand across from one of the chain burger places. Why wife knows how much I like street tacos so it was a no brainer. There was one customer ahead of so we had time to decide Both of us chose the taco plate, they showed three different options on the menu so we asked if we could have one of each which they said sure you get beans and rice as your sides. I notice that Elotes was also available so had to have that too!! It's nice that they have a debit card reader which made payment easier. Seams like a family run stand with mom running the show with dad manning the grill, I'm guessing their daughter takes orders and handles the toll plus helping where need. Everyone was friendly the order was given to us quickly. Now they were in a parking lot I didn't notice any tables but that was ok home is close and everything was hot when we got home. Each of the three tacos was moist and nicely seasoned. The beens and rice are pretty typical fare but good! Now the Elotes was delicious a corn on the cob dipped in a savory sauce dusted with a cheese powder with a drizzle of not a hot hot sauce but it has a little zing you gotta try it! I was looking to see if this stand was on Yelp when we ordered but couldn't find anything maybe I miss spelled the name so no pictures this time, sorry but next time I'll do better! Nice to have an option like this in the lake Stevens area will definitely be back.

So glad they are at the Stanwood Farmer's Market! When my husband finished his 4 carne asada tacos,…read morehe immediately said he could eat 8 more of them... Clearly, we will be back for more in the near future!
