    Sauces (avocado sauce is only given when requested)
    Sophia T.

    This taco truck is one of our favorite spots to go to in Washington. They have buzzers that you get after you order, so you can wait in your car until it is ready to pick up the food. On Tuesdays the tacos are $1.25 a taco, which is a steal! We usually order the Al pastor (spicy pork) tacos and mulitas here. Their tongue here is pretty good too! Al pastor tacos - spicy pork is tender and had the right amount of spice to it. The flour tacos were not the best, but the spicy pork is so good/the price of the tacos on Tuesday overshadowed the flour tacos. Al pastor mulitas - crispy tortilla stacked goodness filled with al pastor, tomato, avocado, and cheese They usually give only 2 sauces when they hand you your food! However, you can ask for their avocado sauce, which is only given when requested.

    This place is great. Best taco truck in South Seattle. Quesabarrias are a teen favorite, although the veggie burrito is delicious too.

    Flan, chicken tacos, horchata, carne asada sopes, & al pastor macho burrito

    We finally tried this after its other trucks around. Having a coupon we tried this location and even without the discount, it was well worth the value!!! After reading reviews, we tried the chicken tacos. My almost 9 year old GOBBLED up 3 saying they were SO good. They were comparable to any leftist Mexican place. The carne asada sopes would be my recommendation!!! They're my hubby's favorite dish, and usually I'm not a fan. However Los Potrillos did them RIGHT as the texture was perfection to me - not too chewy so I actually enjoyed them!!! The carne asada was tasty as well. We also read about the macho burrito, so tried it with the al pastor. It was a great burrito, wet style. Love the blend of flavors!!! The flan & horchata were our add-one to meet the coupon requirement but weren't quite our jam / worth the expense otherwise. They were tasty enough but a little pricey.

    Tripa tacos are amazing and crispy. Nachos are good but sadly some parts got too soggy by the end. Everything else are just average, but huge portion for the price.

    I would only come here on Tuesday for their $1.25 tacos, It good for the price!

    Tacos!

    I try to come here every Tuesday because of the obvious... Taco Tuesday! For the quality you get for ONLY $1.25 per taco?! You seriously cannot beat that. I don't know many other places that sells tacos for that cheap, but one thing I do know is that these tacos will definitely supply your satisfaction. I usually get about 4 to 6 tacos every time, and they come with your typical choice meats, onions, side radishes, and some other garnishes on your tacos. They also throw in a long pepper for you in your order too if you want to spice it up! There is 6 choice meats for the taco but my favourite has got to be the carnitas. The other meats I have tried as well and they are also good! If you're looking for some good affordable tacos, Los Potrillos is definitely a spot worth checking out!

    4 Tacos via Delivery. (Note: 1 eaten) Lengua extra $2. Came with salsas. Jalapeño and radish received upon request. Total $16.99. Nov 2023.
    Allisha B.

    Was craving late night tacos, my usual place was closed. I stepped out and ordered 4 tacos w lengua delivery via Grubhub. Lengua was a little fatty ? But they provided a good amount of meat per taco. Tacos were slightly but good amount of soggy, like just wet enough. Asked for radish, carrot, and jalapeño side - these were not available on the takeout menu. They gave me two slices of small radish and a long, skinny grilled jalapeño. Felt skimped. Especially with the amount paid - Lengua was an extra $2, totaling $16.99. That is more than four dollars a taco! A little high for not being able to provide sides that are free at the restaurant. Tasted pretty good, will order again in a pinch.

    Great Mexican restaurant located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle…read more Freshly made chips that come with a salsa roja that has a kick to it. Not bland like in other places. The ceviche was fresh and loved that they added shredded carrots for extra crunchiness. Tacos de carne were delicious, with the meat properly seasoned. Will definitely come back for more the next time we are in Seattle. Service was prompt and courteous.

    I shared the mole enchiladas and lengua en salsa verde from this Mexican place…read more Of these, the lengua en salsa verde was my favorite. The beef tongue was cooked pretty well. Although it's naturally very fatty, the flavor and juiciness was retained after cooking - so they didn't screw it up. The salsa verde was a very nice accompaniment, as it tasted light, fresh, and a good complement to the fat of the meat. The mole enchiladas were less good. The mole sauce used leaned way too heavily on a sweet flavor - having little to no nuttiness whatsoever. It didn't taste anywhere close to some of the best moles I've had. The enchilada underneath was fine - nothing special. Both dishes came with beans and rice. Both were slightly above average, but nothing to write home about. I would say the portions were well sized in terms of overall amount, but the enchiladas were quite small compared to the beans and rice. With these two dishes we ended up around 28 per person. Overall, it's average Mexican food. 6.5/10

I'm usually a fan of a smaller, curated menu because it suggests care in sourcing and execution. But for us, the execution just didn't land. Everything is served family-style, but the portion sizes didn't justify the price point. We started with the sourdough and butter spread, and it was a letdown right away. The bread was hard as a rock, and the butter--while sounding interesting--came slightly burnt and didn't feel worth $11 for two pieces. Next was the albacore tuna tostada. As someone who travels to Mexico City often, I was genuinely excited for this. But it leaned heavily on avocado, with barely any tuna to balance it out. For $25 and only two tostadas, it felt pretty stingy. The rapini quesadilla sounded promising but ended up tasting mostly like broccolini and mushrooms--nothing that really stood out or justified the dish. We finished with the 21-day dry-aged steak, which, at $59, felt like it should've been a highlight. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. It came out essentially raw, which I didn't mind in theory, but it was incredibly chewy and lacked flavor. It was difficult to cut and even harder to enjoy. The tortillas were nice, and the demi-glaze had potential, but overall it just didn't come together. Even the refried beans on the side were underwhelming--something you could easily find done better at a casual spot. On the bright side, the mezcal margarita with a tajín rim was excellent--well-balanced and probably the highlight of the night. And the service was warm and attentive, which I appreciated. But overall, for the prices and the hype, this place just didn't do it for me. Maybe we ordered wrong, but I've had much better elsewhere. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be back.

So many of our regular spots had lines out the door, which was no surprise, but we ended up getting a table here. Figured Mexican food is hard to mess up. Started with drinks- THE BEST MARGARITA I HAVE EVER HAD. It was perfectly balanced, fresh, just perfect to me. My fiance got a horchata and loved it too. They have an option where you can try ALL of their dips for $20, which I couldn't resist. It was so fun, they had like 9 different ones! I got the shrimp tacos and they were so flavorful that I almost gasped. The creamy sauce, crunchy veggie toppers, smooth avocado, and perfectly cooked shrimp...just wow. I will be dreaming about this dish for years to come. I am a pescatarian and gluten free and there were TONS of options for me. They mostly use corn for everything, not flour. The staff was gracious and kind. They seemed a little understaffed but truly made the most of it and made every table feel attended to and special, which was so lovely. Really cool vibe- lots of art and special touches. A really cool place that I can't wait to recommend to friends.

I was disappointed to…read moresee that the menu has changed a lot (and not just seasonally, but just a completely different menu) since the last time I visited (maybe a year ago or so). Before it seemed like Maiz Molino was focusing on elevated, unique Mexican dishes (shown in the pics in my prior review such as short rib, and other sort of "fusion" dishes, and more seafood focused, etc.) Now, the menu seems way more generic and casual like enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tamales, etc. just offered w/ different proteins. They are still focusing on maiz but just a bit more generic in the preparation and offerings. Also, they had 2 separate menus which was a bit confusing. One is a generic all day menu and then another menu had brunch and dinner on it. It was around 5:30 p.m. but they were out of a particular steak dish that we were interested in. Service was friendly. We had enchiladas, a dip sampler (for appetizer) and Tlacoyos. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out, sadly. It wasn't very busy while we were there, so hoping that they are doing ok as a business. I would love to come back if they brought back the old menu w/ things that you cannot really find elsewhere, including the great cocktail menu and desserts that were offered previously.

    This has been bookmarked for a while and the only regret I have is that I didn't get here sooner…read more This food is terrific, the vibe is hilarious, the servers are downright fantastic. Andrew (our server) introduced us to his sidekick, who was in training. Love that personal, hands on approach for a mew team member, and Sidekick did a great job in monitoring our table and replenishing water. Have to stop here and express my appreciation for Andrew and how he took the time to explain the philosophy and genuine team vibe of the restaurant. Oftentimes when a restaurant adds a flat 20% gratuity, you get the feeling this is not passed on to the servers. Not so here. He explained that it's shared among the servers, bar, and other staff, with only a bit retained by management, but even that finds its way into their wages. Terrific work environment and happy to see it. It definitely shows in the level of service. But we're here to eat. Didn't take a picture, but one of my dining companions ordered the burrito with red chili sauce and it was very good. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce. The Cantina celebrates Taco Tuesday, so I took advantage of this. You get the opportunity to try 5 different street tacos for the low price of $15. For another $4 you order it fully loaded which is a steal (guac, pickled onions, lettuce, giardano, crema, and another lovely sauce). Each of the tacos were really delicious and packed full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and the beef. Was surprised how much I liked the popcorn chicken - still juicy and not greasy in the least. Andrew treated us to a round of the hatch green chili. I was delighted because it was a dish I wanted to try. He described it perfectly: a little kick, but you can't stop eating it. He was right. A bowl of this in the winter with their cornbread (which I'm confident will be delicious) will preempt a winter cold. The sauces on the table are not to be ignored either. The green chili sauce was fruity with a little heat, the scorpion chili brings the heat, but their homemade chili oil is phenomenal. I could put this on everything. In short, the Cantina delivers. Excellent food, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun staff, and a cool vibe. I'll bet the cocktails will also be good. Definitely adding to the regular rotation!

This is becoming a trend and I'm avoiding eateries that do this.
