    I stopped by for lunch in the neighborhood, downtown Kirkland. There were some parking spots available in that gas station so it's very convenient. The ambiance was laid back and service was friendly and efficient. I ordered breakfast with carne asada, large horchata, chilaquiles con huevos with chorizo. They were really delicious and authentic and we enjoyed every bite. Horchta was creamy and it's the best one I've had. I mixed my coffee and it tasted phenomenal. Great experience and we will come back soon.

    Best breakfast burritos around! This cute Mexican food truck does NOT disappoint. My partner and I found this truck back in Ballard at the farmer's market a few years ago (it seriously revived us from far too many late nights), and we were so excited to see they have multiple locations after we moved! While the breakfast burritos (with chorizo!) are my fave, the street tacos are also excellent. I tried out the al pastor, carnitas, and chupa cabra - al pastor definitely won. Service is always professional and quick. Highly recommend.

    Excellent Quesadillas. Very large portion drizzled with cheesy sauce. Excellent home made salsa on the side. Super friendly service.

    Cabeza quesadilla
    Tay H.

    I was craving a quesadilla so I went for a ride along the waterfront to one of the half dozen or so Los Chilangos taco trucks on the east side. Got the cabeza quesadilla. This particular truck is in the gas station lot where Wendy's once was. Beef cabeza was savory, umame, perfectly tender and spicy. The quesadilla was enough for two small meals and wait time was only a few minutes. Its not very apparent that english at this truck is a tiny bit limited so dont mistake it as rudeness or what not they just dont speak conversational but they are very nice people and they make pretty good mexican food. I recommend for quick bite but there are better options if u have the time to drive further. Very good option for convenience.

    Ordered the Peter Breakfast Tacos. Was stuffed w tender, flavorful meat (I picked al pastor & carnitas), was pretty good, would order again. The guacamole and chips weren't so good. Chips probably came from a package (ie not fried in-house) and the guac was a small amt with no onion, tomato, cilantro -not worth the price, wouldn't order again. Overall prob more like a 3.5 stars. Haven't tried too much on their menu, would go again if in the mood for quick Mexican.

    Al pastor and pollo taco

    One of the best tacos I've had! I love their corn taco skin -- very moist and crispy at the same time. What I like most about it is also the favt that it is not too oily, which often a lot of tacos are. Al pastor 4/5 - pork marinated in Guajillo with pineapples. Good combination of sweet, sour, and umami. They also have grilled onion on the side Pollo 4.5/5 - I liked this a lot! The chicken is very tender and flavorful. Their service is also great! They prepared it quite fast and the packaging is really nice. The plastic they use is biodegradable.

    I was in a mood for a burrito and we specifically were looking out for a food truck. We were close to this spot in Kirkland, so headed to Taqueria Los Chilangos Shell gas station. Highlights: *Their menu has been updated since the last photo on Yelp, but I didn't end up taking a photo of the truck and menu *Ask explicitly for napkins/utensils if you need; we didn't get any, but had extras in the car *Yes yes YES the food was very flavorful and we'd eat here again There was room in the lot to park, so we got lucky on that front. The staff were friendly and attentive; a really welcoming food truck with music and large menu. The food was finished quickly. I ordered a burrito with hot salsa and a house-special meat; I don't recall the exact name. My bf ordered a quesadilla with carne asada with hot salsa. They were both very delicious! Great portions (we both had leftovers); the meat was flavorful w heat and spice. They didn't slack on the amount of filling. We also ordered some horchata. It was creamy, spiced, and complimented the food nicely.

    Best tacos in Kirkland!!! I actually live pretty close by but never noticed this cute little food truck. I went all the way up to Bothell for tacos at the La Sabrosa Taqueria on the same day for lunch. I discovered it around dinner on the way to check out the newly opened Happy Lemon boba tea shop. Of course I want to try it too. I got the Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Chupa Cabral. They are great! I won't need to go all the way to Bothell for tacos now. I will be coming here all the time!!!

    Tacos: Carne Asada, Pastor, and Chupa Cabra
    Jon C.

    I love that downtown Kirkland has a taco truck! The tacos here are good. Half of a taco's quality is in the tortilla, and it's very tasty. Get the carne asada, pastor, and the chupa cabra (their special). I'll try the burrito and torta next!

    I wished I'd slipped on this and Landed my face in dog shit. It would have been better than the burrito

    I rarely leave reviews. And people are more apt To talk about a negative experience than a positive one. So I guess this fits the trope. But I have to start off with this: my favorite food of all time is a carne asada burrito. It has all the food groups. It's portable, resealable and most of all yummy. So I have a high standard. But even if I didn't this place would be dog shit. For the price they charge you can go to a sit down restaurant and get actual service. Do yourself a favor... drive to El Rinconsito in Bellevue. Yea it's farther away but you'll finish your meal with a smile, your salsa will have flavor and with the money you saved on an overpriced slop wrap it'll equal about the same when accounting for gas. Except el rinconsito doesn't charge you for a lime wedge .55 cents and then forget to put it in the bag. The meat (carne asada) was chewy and tough, the salsa had no flavor. It was just green or red and no flavor or hot and they stuck lettuce in the damn thing. That's a first from someone who has had burritos from Tia Juana and all the north through the coast to Vancouver BC. I know this is the East side and they have to whitewash this shit and charge exorbitant prices so that the mommies in yoga pants feel they're spending their husband engineer's money well. But next time if I'm in a bind and can't drive I'll saunter over to Qfc and get a bag or resers frozen burritos. Because at least I get ten for that price and I already expect one grade above dog food. You would think a taco truck would be cheaper and more efficient and actually know how to wrap a burrito. This thing looked like a kid from the 90's wearing clothes that are 3 sizes too big but with the audacity to say " what? You not gonna eat me?" And for the price I was strong armed into paying I'm not wasting the money. I've lived in DT kirkland for 10 years now. I've seen a lot of restaurants come and go. And I noticed that this one seems to stick around. So I gave it a shot. But it dawned on me that the only reason they're still here is that there's no rent to pay in a parking lot truck. Had these Jamokes had to pay a brick and mortar front and provide this type of food they would have been out of biz years ago. My only regret is that I did not slip on a banana peal on the sidewalk and give myself a concussion so that I couldn't remember this meal. If I were clinically depressed it would have driven me to the edge of suicide. Avoid this place. Get an AM PM corn dog. Instead. You know what to expect and it's priced for what it really is. The corn dog will never lie to you and pretend to be gourmand.

I need to caveat this review with I am a bit picky on tacos and awful at talking to people sometimes. Together that means, the fish taco is being compared to what I can get in San Diego and the latter is why I had all these tacos without salsa. All the tacos are fairly small so good snacking size. The size makes sense since the usual price is less than $3. The carne asada and carnitas are not bad. They would all benefit from eating with salsa. The fish taco was disappointing. I usually really like the sauce on a fish taco but this didn't stand out to me. It probably needed a bit of lime. Overall, it's good for taco tuesday. It's not somewhere I would go regularly. It is a local business that does encourage silly things, like a speed eating contest for the Totem Lake run club. Something that obviously worked because I spent money and watched.

The bar was indoor only and it was a lovely day, so we sacrificed the discount for the sun. They have a fabulous mocktail selection at reasonable prices!

I am vegetarian and they were able to have the meat on the side for us, which was lovely. I usually get the seafood enchiladas, which are amazing, but wanted something cold on a hot day. The waitress recommended the poke bowl, which I had never even heard of, and it was phenomenal! Refreshing, ample protein, great seasoning. Loved it and would get it again. I love that they have a whole gluten free menu online, makes it so easy for me. I will say, service is a bit on the slow side if you sit outside. Just much harder to waive down your server. We waited about 20+ min between her coming to our table, so we ended up being there about 2 hours when we could have been done in one otherwise.

The sauce is generously applied, and every bit is delicious. The flavorful foods will have me returning for sure!
