    Flat, hardly anything in this torta.

    Underwhelming torta to begin with, then came the agonising pain of food poisoning. The torta I bought on 8/23 was the minimalist version of the typically robustly filled torta. The flavour was not what I expected. It was just, "ehhhhh." Ot didn't taste terrible, so I ate it--that was my biggest mistake. I woke up around 2:00 AM with the intense urge to vomit, and proceeded to lose everything in my stomach as I sat in front of my toilet for a good 45 mins. I then went back to bed and woke up a few hours later with intense abdominal pain, diarrhea, and more vomiting. I even got to eat my torta again as I dry-heaved bile out of my stomach. I felt like I was experiencing a terrible hangover all day long. I couldn't eat, I could barely drink without losing those fluids to the porcelain throne. I went to be that night hoping I'd wake up feeling better. I sort of did, though wasn't able to eat until I was finally hungry around dinner time. I had a very light dinner, and within 20 mins, had more intensely painful abdominal contractions and spasm that lasted several hours. Several days later, my stomach is still not back to normal. This was the worst food poisoning I've ever had. I should have figured from the looks of the place, but the reviews got me, and I regrettable erred in trusting those positive reviews. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! KING Co foot safety needs to visit this shack STAT.

    a food truck

    Small taco truck with very limited seating. $4 each for their "big" tacos. Carne asada was dry. Al pastor lacked in flavor. Carnitas are the best, flavorful and fatty!

    Straightforward, no frills, yummy Mexican! Food truck is located along 15th in North Seattle, and there are park benches you can sit in to eat. One order taker with a warm smile, and just good food. Cash only, please. Generous servings! See you again soon!

    Fish tacos

    Best fish tacos I have had in a while! We went on a Saturday night and ordered there, and food was ready in about 10 minutes for three of us. Everything tasted really good and fresh. Beans and rice were good. Good prices too - $13 for fish tacos with beans and rice! Note that they are cash only and there are no ATMs in their parking lot.

    Al pastor tacos with a side of cilantro and onion

    Street tacos are the way to go. Best deal is 6 tacos for $7.99 and comes with a free drink but horchata is extra. The al pastor comes with pineapple and juicy and fatty pork in a corn tortilla. You gotta have it with the red sauce for the kick. The green salsa isn't spicy at all. Pork carnitas was so moist and slow cooked. So good! Got some water which is standard. They do have one dish that is only available on the weekend...dish number 19. Will have to be back!

    Chorizo, asada, carnitas, pastor. Beautiful.

    I've been perpetually homesick for some LA/SD tacos since I've come to Seattle. This place is actually better than a lot of taco trucks I've been to in LA. I got the 4 street tacos for $6. This is a great deal on par with a lot of great taco Tuesdays I've been to. I got the asada, chorizo, pastor, chicken, and carnitas. All delicious. I was surprised at how flavorful the chicken is. One thing though, I did like the street tacos better than their regular tacos. It didn't have enough meat for the size of the tortilla. Still delicious, but I think ill stick to the street tacos. Their side of rice is also delicious and flavorful. I will report back when I try the burrito and the tlayuda. Apparently that ones only available on Saturdays. Both the red and green salsas are delicious. (The red's got a kick though, so be careful if you're sensitive to spicy).

    I'm so glad my mom decided to go a lonchera style place for lunch instead of a walk in-sit down restaurant. She stated these have more "sabor". We were visiting in Seattle for the day and stumbled upon Loxicha and were not disappointed one bit. We ordered the asada quesadillas and mulitas plate. Price was reasonable as it came with a beverage. Service was friendly and speedy. My mom complimented the Mexican rice (we are strong critics when it comes to the rice) and as well as the salsas. I will for sure return when I'm the city.

    The marinated chicken is delicious! I had it in the street tacos. The Al Pastor also is tasty. Their rice is good, the refried beans (done with black beans) SUPER good. I usually pass on the beans but after tasting these I wanted more. I had a side of guacamole and it ALSO was fresh and perfect.

    Look for the sign!
    Tam T.

    WOW! I've had a lot of tacos and have been incredibly disappointed by many Northwest tacos. Coming from LA I thought that I just lost the magic of tacos, but the tacos at Loxicha are just as good! 1. The pastor was my favorite. They slice very small pieces of pineapple into the taco in the taco and it goes great with the taco! 2. The asada and chorizo tacos were also excellent! 3. Beware of the red salsa! It is HOT! I love spicy food but I underestimated that red salsa. It left me panting and made me think that I was on Hot Ones with Sean Evans.

The biggest disappointment was our interaction with the bartender on 9/4 around 8:30 PM. Our group approached the bar simply trying to order a round of shots. From the beginning, her attitude came across as unnecessarily rude when she asked whether we had a table. She then looked at our group and said, "First of all, we can't have you up here." We genuinely did not know that guests seated at tables were supposed to order through their server. Had she simply explained that to us politely, we would have apologized, returned to our table, and ordered from there. The policy itself wasn't the issue. It was the way it was communicated. Aside from that interaction, we enjoyed our time and really appreciated Jadin for making our experience a positive one.

The restaurant also has a parking lot for people to park at as well, so that is a plus! The drink menu is very limited, they don't have a full bar. I ordered the skinny margarita and it was good. The food is authentic and if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, D'La Santa is the spot. We ordered the queso and the rajitas. Both appetizers are really good, came out super hot. Highly recommend. I got the carne asada plate and added an extra mini quesadilla. The carne is very seasoned so you have to eat it with the tortilla to balance out the saltiness. The service was fast and our waiter was very attentive.

    This place isn't easy to get to. If you were to walk from the nearest light rail station, it takes…read moreabout 35 minutes - so the only other option is taking a bus from there. Despite the trek, I'm pretty happy to say that this was absolutely worth it as maybe the highest quality Mexican food in the Seattle area. The dishes here are not what you find at your typical Mexican restaurant. There's no chips and salsa, and the menu is small - only around 4 entrees and 4 small plates, along with a few appetizers. It's best to come here with someone else and find things to share - which is what I did with the small plates, since some of them come with two per order. We ended up ordering the maiz sourdough, the albacore tostadas, the brisket tacos, and tetela - finishing with the pan de elote for dessert. I'll start with what is absolutely their signature dish - the albacore tuna tostadas. I'm willing to say that this is the best dish I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. It comes in two tostadas - each with raw albacore tuna, mayo, avocado, and fried leeks - and oh my goodness is it spectacular. Everything starts from the base of it all - the tostada itself, which is so far and away the best tostada I've ever had it's not even a debate. Years of having tostadas shatter, or even crack on each bite left me fully unprepared for what was to come; a tostada that behaves like an architecturally sound disc. Seriously, you take a bite of this and the entire rest of it remains wholly intact. It's like a miracle. The texture reminds me of a Frito, it's got those slightly raised bumps and a similar thickness. And I haven't even gotten to the toppings yet. The raw tuna on top is perfect sashimi - it's soft, just fatty enough, and absolutely slides through your mouth at the lightest chew. There's also a lot more of it on the tostada than I expected. The kewpie mayo has a surprising spice to it - like the best version of spicy mayo that you've had; except it has a bit of a smoky flavor to it as well. The avocado adds earthiness, chill-ness, and a good level of fat. Lastly, the fried leeks on top provide that extra crunchy layer just to cap it all off. It's simply one of the best constructed dishes I've seen. It took a lot of willpower not to order another set of these. The other two small plates were good, but don't quite match up. The brisket tacos are small, but filled with toppings, including a ton of the dry-aged suadero. This beef was very good, containing a lot of fat and being quite juicy in each bite. I also loved the tortillas, which were some of the best corn tortillas I've had. It's clear they nixtamalize the corn used for these in-house. Still, this didn't feel that much more than a good taco. The tetela was also fine, but nothing too special as mostly just eggplant on the inside. Something else that was amazing though, was the maiz sourdough we ordered. It's easily one of the best bread appetizers I've had. The outside is so crispy without being too chewy, while the inside is hot, fluffy, and so easy to tear apart. I simply can't get over how amazing the crust is on this bread - it wraps all the way around, and is baked to absolute perfection. The included honey butter is also really well salted and sweet, but I do wish there was more of it. For dessert, we had the pan de elote - which is a sweet corn cake with blackberry jam and a whipped cream. I found the whipped cream fascinating; rather than being too sweat, it instead had a lighter flavor that focused more on the soft and creamy texture than traditional whipped cream. The combination of the super-fresh blackberry jam and texture of the whipped cream added a ton of moisture to the corn cake - which otherwise resembled kind of a sweet cornbread. Also, the portions on the cake were crazy good. All that said, this is quite an expensive place. For what we had, per person it ended up being over $60 without any drinks. For the tostada and tacos especially, you're paying 10+ dollars/person for a single tostada or taco. I would say it's worth the price for the tostada, but not for the taco. Overall, it is certainly high-end, but the quality of food here is so high it's an absolute recommend from me. 9.25/10

We thankfully found street parking just outside and were seated promptly. Truly loved how simple and charming the interior was. I'll be honest, we were dying from 1st dinner even though we only ate a few bites but being gluttons, we got the tomato salad (my favorite bite of the entire evening), my friend got the suadero tacos for herself, and I ordered the enfrijoladas (mushroom) with a side of tortillas -- I couldn't resist! Everything I tasted was delicious and I am honestly planning my next trip back ASAP. We, of course, couldn't resist dessert cause WHEN I TELL YOU THAT CORN CAKE HAS MY ENTIRE HEART. If the capslock wasn't apparent, the dessert was incredible, giantly sized, and lives rent free in my head 5ever. Do yourself a favor and go to Pancita; it is one of the rare spots that deserves every bit of the hype being sent its way.

Not sure, I know there's another location in Pike's Place) were friendly and seemed like they wanted to be sure that we enjoyed our food. Definitely not the cheapest Mexican restaurant around, but you're paying for the attention to detail and carefully sourced ingredients. My food was really tasty. The way their ordering works for most menu items is you pick your antojito and then your guisado (the "vessel" and "filling," I guess). I went with gorditas with chicken. All the antojitos are made with hand-made masa (nixtamal corn dough) that uses carefully sourced heirloom maize (corn), and the gorditas were no exception. The masa was really tasty and the texture was perfect. The chicken guisado was good, and I think I'll try another type depending on what they have available the next time stop in during lunch.
