Best burrito in Seattle! Wow super good and yummy. I have had a lot of burritos in Seattle before but this one has the best flavor. so good.

I was happy with the location and the customer service! The staff were polite and friendly! This is located inside of a busy store, so expected the food to take forever to get, but it was very quick! There open seating for the food court, but they seem to have their own set up closer to the doors! I had 2 tacos... i don't know why the tortillas weren't cooked thoroughly, but it made the meats fall out. I had to eat with a fork to enjoy it. Good pricing! read more

I ordered two single tacos and it was priced for $3.50 per tacos with your choice of proteins. What they fail to mention is that there's extra charge of $1.00 per tacos, depending on the type of proteins that you select such as the carne asada. I'm deducting stars because they're not transparent about it on their menu. They could have just incorporated that into their pricing and customers would not have an issue with it. The portions are okay for a $4.50 tacos. I would pass the tacos and get something else, the other studf seems to be well portioned and filling. read more

Los Costenos has been closed for the last couple of months for what looked to be renovations. It looks like they recently reopened and unfortunately the menu has been completely revamped. It's more standard Mexican restaurant fare now, with burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and nachos. Most importantly - the Caribbean sandwiches have been removed! Just updating my review to let everyone know that the best Caribbean Roast Pork Sandwiches in Seattle are no more. They were my favorite, at least! read more

Los Costenos - Food Stand - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Underwhelmingly overwhelming. Dropped by during my lunch break to order a veggie burrito. Every bite I took I grew skeptical about what I was tasting. The rice was like warm, parts were warm, and unevenly cooked. One bit it was soggy and the other it was hard and un cooked. The veggies weren't sautéed evenly, there was cucumber for some reason which came out soggy. The green bell peppers were crunchy, hard and oily. The beans were so salty as well. It was just too much going on. The flavors were intense but not at the same time. I don't usually struggle with texture like that but this burrito grossed me out. Please take the cucumbers out of the veggie mix. It's just not good. And warm your rice, it was concerning how warm it was. Would not come back for sure :( read more

The place is bonafide good. For seattle the price is reasonable. Food has great flavor and nice portions. This will be a repeat and i have already told an officemate about checking it out. I took a pic but it's partially shadowed. Next time. read more

Nestled in Uwajimaya is this amazing Mexican stand that you do not want to miss! The chicken nachos are delicious! The chicken is really the star of the show. It's nicely marinated and the mix of cheese, jalapeños sour cream and salsa was perfection on each bite. I was very impressed! I was on a stroll for the CID food walk and dare I say this was my favorite of the day! Definitely will be back for some game day noms! read more

Los Costenos - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Los Costenos is a hidden gem that is a strong contender for best Caribbean sandwich in the Seattle area. I believe it's better than Paseo, but slightly under Un Bien or Bongos. However, Los Costenos is cheaper, has validated parking, and rests near other options for picky eater friends, dessert, or drinks. In that regard, the overall experience here is better. A hard toss up for sure though, I'd recommend all of them! Service here is phenomenal. I ordered two pork shoulder sandwiches. I wanted another one to go but they ran out of bread. That's a lesson to come early. There was meat and I could have got a wrap, but they couldn't recommend it. In case you're curious or are hoping for low carb, it may be worth asking about substitutions because it seems like they're flexible. However, I'd highly recommend the sandwiches above all else. Pork Shoulder Sandwich - the bread was delicious and toasted to perfection. On top was a generous serving of tender, juicy, slow cooked pork with flavorful caramelized onions, garlic aioli, and jalapenos. All of these elements were rich in flavor, pairing perfectly. To top it all off, a clean piece of lettuce cleansed the palette and cut some oil. I struggled to bite the sandwich which says a lot about the size and amount of content. read more

Los Costenos - Pork Shoulder Sandwich - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I think this is my 4th or 5th updated review of this place. I have been coming here since their very very beginning and yes, they are still awesome and their prices still are the most affordable amongst all the food options here, especially for the portions you get. Service is always nice and fast. Their prices went up on a couple of items but honestly I always wondered how they were able to sell so low anyway. Especially their Nachos (it used to be $8.50 and now it's $9.50 - still pre-pandemic level price). Their Garlic Shrimp Sandwich is amazing! Highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

I accidentally stumbled upon Los Costenos while heading to the market in search of a small snack during my commute. Los Costenos was the first vendor located at the intersection of S Weller Street and 5th Ave S. After briefly reviewing the menu, I was particularly interested in the tofu options, including the sandwich, fajita wrap, and plate. I decided to go with the wrap. Overall, the wrap was above average. The tofu was fine, but it needed more marinade or seasoning, and the veggies were flavorful. I would rate it a 3.4 out of 5 overall, but it wasn't bad. The price was in line with the cost of living in Seattle, at $11. However, it was pretty massive in size, so it may have been a steal. Since there was only one vendor, the preparation and wait times combined were about 10 to 15 minutes. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, and I would consider having it again.. read more

Amazing! Even better than Un Bien (let alone Paseo, which I have left alone for years). Hidden in the end corner of the Uwajimaya food court. Order the pork shoulder supreme ($11) - best deal in the city! Then a seafood in red sauce over rice and a huli huli chicken plate to enjoy later. I'm thinking about getting another sandwich tomorrow. Just go now. read more

Located inside of Uwajimaya, first booth on the left when you enter the food court from the 5th & Weller entrance! Across from Jardín Tea. No "restaurant seating" bc it's a food court, but food court seating is first come first serve - lots of lil tables, bigger groups id recommend planning to find somewhere to eat outside - plenty of benches and cute spots by the fountain on 5th. Decent prices for the area and a fun mix up if you get Asian cuisine a lot in the area. Caribbean spot with Latin influence for sure. Sandwiches are messy, but fresh, hot, and flavorful as it gets!!! Grab extra napkins or prepare to wipe your hands on your pet or loved ones, dealers choice. Super fast, easy to carry, def going back! read more

I have gone to this location a few times and every single time the food is always delicious and the people are so sweet and wonderful! they offer a variety of different plates and burritos and other options! Everything I have tried always is wonderfully seasoned and yummy! read more

Los Costeños is located in the Uwajimaya food court. The pork shoulder sandwich was delicious and very flavorful. The sandwich comprises of pork shoulder, garlic aioli, jalapenos, cilantro, onions, sliced of ham, and Swiss cheese. The portion was a good size to share between two people. It also didn't take very long for our order to be ready. The food court has a good amount of tables and chairs. It is a great spot for lunch if you're looking for great food. read more

I had the pork shoulder supreme sandwich, was excellent and an appropriately messy bundle of flavors . Location is tucked away in the food court, easy to pass by if you are not looking for it . Ambiance is the expected gritty city no nonsense one will see , but with a friendly smile behind the counter . Was a great way to start my night prior to Monday Night Football . . Go Seahawks! PS we beat the Texans . read more

Yeah, dawg, this is an awesome spot in the Uwajimaya food court in the Chinatown-International District neighborhood. After reading reviews from Yelpers I trust (Connie A. and Bryan K.!), I had to check out this casual eatery that's reminiscent of Un Bien and Paseo. But I think this place is better. As mentioned, this is a food vendor in the food court of Uwajimaya, so with that said, it's a stand. Seating can be found in the center of the food court, or just get takeout like many of the patrons do here. I visited Los Costenos on a weekday around lunch time and the place was swarming. There was a wait for the food, which is always a good sign since everything was prepared when ordered. Similar to the menus of Paseo and Un Bien, they have baguette sandwiches, bowls and a pulled pork that seems to be their specialty. I read wonderful words about the pork supreme sandwich, which I was tempted to get. However when I went up to the counter to order, I saw that they had a special for nachos for less than $10, with your choice of pork or chicken. Done deal! I ordered the nachos with pork. I ordered this entrée as takeout and it was hefty! When I opened the container, the nachos were STACKED with pork, sauce, beans, cheese, peppers and a crema drizzle. Tortilla chips were underneath the goodness. Therefore, I recommend eating these nachos ASAP as the tortilla chips smothered in the goods will soften, so the crunch factor may get lost. However, even with the softened tortilla chips, it was delicious! The pulled pork here is waaaayyyyy better than Paseo's, as it was tender and very flavorful. It was also a huge portion, so truly, this is an amazing deal! I'm glad to have discovered Los Costenos and would happily eat here again. Pork supreme next time! read more

We wanted something light and decided to try this place out in the food court area of uwajimaya. We got the fish fajitas wrap which was $11. I definitely like that they put a lot of veggies in them and not the typical salad/lettuce either. There was zucchini, and squash, etc. The fish portion was a little small and I do wish there was more flavoring as the whole thing was a little bland. Service was fast and good as well. Overall pretty good, I do want to check out their sandwiches next time as it looks good read more

OMG! I just had the Pork Shoulder Supreme sandwich. It is by far one of the best tasting sandwiches I have ever eaten! The pork was so tender and favorful. You have got to taste this sandwich. Great job! read more

Ugh been wanting to try this place for a long time. The service is fast but not friendly. The prices are fair. I got a cod sandwich and when I received it, it was a complete mess and almost inedible. The bread was soggy as hell and all the ingredients were all over the place even though I ate it immediately after I received it. They only give you one tiny napkin. I threw half of it out. Really disappointed and won't return. read more

Dang that sandwich was so good! I got the pork shoulder supreme sandwich as many others got and it was delicious. Stuffed full of pork, I enjoyed the pickled jalapeño and the caramelized onions as well as the bread. At $11 the price can't be beat. Just as good as Un Bien IMO. read more

My usual order is the cod or the tofu sandwich, which are both great. Today I finally ordered the pork shoulder sandwich - it was also amazing. The sauces are what makes these sandwiches great and I would probably be happy with grilled bread smothered only in sauce. This is one of the best lunch stops in Seattle. Take out, or eat in at the food court (and get a Beard Papa cream puff for dessert). On west end of Uwajimaya's food court, it's a perfect location - close to stadiums, light rail, train station, Pioneer Square and of course Chinatown. read more

First visit here, I read the Yelp reviews about the pork supreme sandwich. Being of Eastern European descent, lots of pork is an attraction. I was here shopping from Shoreline. Slightly grumpy and hungry after the commute. Mr. Friendly Los Costenos greeted me warmly. You have to have a bit of a mind adjustment, to eating Mexican food in a variety of Asian food offerings. However, I plunged on, as a Pasedo and Un Bien .aficionado. All the visual cues lead you to lovely Asian food reckonings.Try me, Thai, Hawaiian and BBQ pork. Hello, fresh sushi here. Ignoring the siren call is difficult. Placed my order and got the pork supreme. First bite, I was overwhelmed by the generously of pork in the inexpensive sandwich. I agree with the reviews that this sandwich tops Pasesdo and Un Bien in several factors. The sandwich contains much more pork, giving it a strong pork profile. The seasoning are more pronounced here. With a sandwich, you want balanced flavors with each bite. A whole mess of pork can be good at first, but then gets boring . The sandwich here kept your interest until the end, Cheese, bread, pork, seasoning, ham and crispy bread. A sandwich you keep eating, even after your stomach signals enough. I loved this sandwich enough to want to bring my perpetually hungry 16 year old new student from Madagascar here. Ohhh, I got him the sandwich supreme and for me, the scallops plate. He told me he faced a challenge of eating that bad boy sandwich. He did and loved it. My scallop plate had a generous amount of scallops. Plus a side of black beans, rice, corn on the cob and salad. Can't get that for this low price anyw I know f. The scallops, my major focus, wee in a slightly spicy tomato sauce with onions and peas. Combined with the rice, it was delicious. Corn on cob was overcooked and a tougher chew. overall, some great food that will definitely leave you happy with the generous amount of meat. Great price and delicious flavor. read more

I've had un bien and I've also had the OG paseo before the owner changed. The first bite had me feeling giddy! This is gonna sound crazy and I may get some eye rolls for this... but I THINK THIS PLACE IS BETTER THAN BOTH! Every bite was filled with succulent tender marinated pork and the amount of meat you get was HUGE. Just to give an idea I usually need two of the un bien Caribbean roast sandwiches to be satisfied, but one sandwich from here and I'm good to go. I paid about $13-15 after tax n tip at the time of this review. Absolutely worth it for this sandwich! It was so good that I bought two more so that my siblings could enjoy them. The owner is kind and friendly please do yourself a favor and go here! read more

I was walking through Uwajimaya, heading back to the office, and stopped at Los Costenos on a whim. Hadn't read reviews. I ordered the cod sandwich and it was amazingly great. I was expecting a normal fish sandwich, but this was so much better. The cod was cut in small pieces and sauteed with vegetables, and the sauce is something I still dream about. It hit all my flavor buttons. It's in the food court by the west entrance. Go. I highly recommend it. read more

Super yummy selection of sandwiches, wraps, and plates. Protein choices are a staple piece throughout and I really enjoyed my meal. I got the plate with chicken thighs, which came out to be about $14. Flavors were tasty and definitely a full meal for the price. I'm not usually a black bean fan but these were amazing. Really small space so definitely a spot to grab to go and eat at the Uwajimaya food hall. I'd come back to try more of their menu. read more

Los Costeños is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood! It gives new culinary diversity to the Uwajimaya food court. My personal favorite is very tasty The Pork Shoulder Supreme. It's large and delicious, very similar to Un Bien's Caribbean Roast pulled pork sandwich. Just a heads up, it is very messy and you will need lots of napkins. Getting rice and beans on the side was okay, but not really needed. Too heavy and slightly bland for a side with a sandwich. Hawaiian chips pair well though. This business is slowly working on expanding their menu as they establish themselves. I would love to see some fries on the menu in the future to mop up the flavorful juices left from their sandwiches. Los Costeños sandwiches are great as a to go item to take home and have for dinner or eat on the weekend while watching the game. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. It's now one of my go to places in the ID. read more

Holy cow! Nothing against Un Bien and Paseo..... but this is the new best Cuban sandwich in town. The supreme is not only the best Cuban I've ever had..... but might be the best (or close to it) sandwich in general. I saw and heard great things about this place..... but it honestly went beyond my expectations as far as flavor goes. It's a small shop, located just inside the northwest entrance to Uwajimaya in Chinatown. I look forward to coming back..... maybe tomorrow! read more
