    Pineapple Shrimp
    Adia R.

    My friend has been wanting to try this place for some time so we finally went for her birthday. We ordered several appetizers plantains, empanadas and Yucca fries. All were so delicious I never had yucca fries before but the texture was amazingly crisp and the flavor with the aioli sauce was a perfect pairing. The plantains were plump and an excellent texture. The empanadas were cooked well and had a decent oil based sauce to accompany them. For dinner I had pineapple with rice. I wasn't really a fan. I wasn't sure how all those flavors were suppose to tie in together. The rice was somewhat bland the peppers I gave away the cakes on the side were really hard I wasn't sure what it was suppose to be and the shrimp was ok but was in a pineapple paste that didn't really stay on the shrimp. Together with the rice in one bite was just not it. I was pretty disappointed. However my friend got a steak salad that was sooooo good. Another friend got red and green sauce enchiladas which were also just ok. I think I would return. Although I didn't like every single item I did enjoy the dim ambiance the hibiscus juice was fire and the service was quick and friendly. Due to it being my friend's birthday they brought a basket of churros with camel dipping sauce. They were literally little bites of heaven. So all in all this place is cool but probably hit or miss on the menu items.

    Fluffy tacos pork
    Wennie H.

    When I read the menu and saw the photos I knew I wanted to get stuff here. Unfortunately, I found the fluffy tacos lacking in flavor and dripping in tons of oil. The tostones were also rock hard and bland. Service is nice but I was disappointed by the food.

    a sandwich and french fries
    Christina C.

    Love the cuban sandwich and yuca fries. I usually order at westlake square when truck comes few times a month. I love it but just it's very inconvenient take it to go because sauces that they have there doesn't have any lid. One time I came with my own small containers and put sauces there because I was arranging my husbands business lunch in our high-rise in downtown and took 4 sandwiches to go and sauces.

    Pork Tostones

    Third time eating but first Yelp Review. Yes, I'm am overdue but all three visits have been Yummy. Almost didn't get to this review because I got my order and immediately thought Get in my Belly'. I was half wad though my meal before taking a pic!! Pork Tostones were delicious. The pork is flavorful and tender. The tostones are soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. Savory and satisfying. Looking forward to the next Mexicuban Truck visit.

    Food is good. If only they had better customer service and competent enough cooks that can actually get orders right. I've ordered through ubereats several times and they've messed up my order almost every time! So disappointing. I have even called the restaurant to ensure it's correct before the driver picks it up on several occasions. I spoke with a manager over the phone at one point and he even went as fast as lying stating he'd email me a gift card. This last time a different employee comped churros which was nice but they still didn't even get my order right! After I received order I reached out to inform them my order was incorrect yet again!! They never responded. They don't care enough to KEEP returning customers. They just want a fast buck. Complete bull! Beyond disappointed, Perhaps you get better service going in. I don't like being lied to tho either.

    Cochinita Fluffy Tacos 2 for $13 (very oily)
    Lesley D.

    Hit this food truck for dinner and it left me with mixed emotions. We ordered online instead of walking up to the truck window which may have been where we went wrong. The hubs ordered the Cubano sandwich ($15) and I ordered Cochinita fluffy tacos ($13), no cilantro + jalapeños (+$0.50). Grabbed the food and my tacos had plenty of cilantro and no jalapeños. I popped back out to the truck and they said they were out of Jalapeños. Not the end of the world but a little annoying because the up charge was paid. I sort of grumbled that under my breath and to their credit they offered me some churros which I declined. Nice effort on the save and I realized ordering in person would have prevented the issue. Not sure if it was due to the fact that I waited a few extra minutes to eat my tacos while jalapeño hunting but by the time I sat down to eat, the tacos were swimming in oil. Flavors were good but I needed a mile high stack of napkins! The sandwich got a "ok" vote from my husband and everyone liked the yucca fries. Warning if you have a little one, there is no ketchup. Pros Good flavors Yucca fries Fast Cons Heavy on the oil If you have a toddler ketchup junkie you will be SOL

    Cochinita Pibil Bowl

    The food was sublime! Me and my sister got the Tostones, chicken Fluffy Taco, Roast Pork with yellow rice and roasted beef. Everything was delicious, the tacos needed salsa and the service was good but the service would have been excellent if they refilled our water regularly, and the absence of complimentary chips and salsa was dearly missed. At Azteca they offer bottomless chips and salsa.

    Service is great and their cuban sandwich was superb! For their rellenos and tacos -- lack of taste. I've seen other reviews as well that the fluffy tacos is interesting.

    Cubano Sandwich with yuca fries
    Adam Bernard B.

    THIS place was everything plus more. I ordered the Cubano sandwich with yuca fries and men. I wish I would have ordered a second serving. Everything was fresh to order and delicious. The flavors were so savery I still can taste them as I'm typing my review. Unexplained gold mind. Definitely place I'd recommend and eat at again. 14/10

    Tasty food! Quick Service! All what you would want from a food truck. Ordered the fluffy tacos with pork, the cubano sandwich and the pineapple shrimp. My favorite was the fluffy tacos since the texture was crisp and chewy at the same time and the fried plantain added a nice sweetness. Drenched in their green salsa, it was delicious. The pineapple shrimp was a good portion with big shrimps in a yummy yellow sauce. The cubano was tasty, but the bread sort of fell apart too easily trying to contain the goodness. If you see their vibrant truck in your neighborhood it definitely deserves a stop.

    We are in town from South Florida and were visiting a few breweries in the Ballard area. We ordered 3 bowls and a side of fried plantain. Our food was fast and delicious! Service was pleasant, professional and kind. Served hot, fresh and truly delicious! My bf had the cubano bowl and yucca fries were a nice addition. My daughter and I had cochinita pibil bowl. Wow! Flavorful, colorful, fresh, super tender pork. A large serving too. They had additional sauces available too and we tried a zesty aioli type sauce and a green salsa, ohhh perfection! Glad we stopped by, everyone should check them out!

    AMAZING FIRST EXPERIENCE!!…read more Came here on a Saturday at 3:15 pm and it was EMPTY! Walked right on in and sat immediately. I'm sure the place is more lively with more etíope, but it was still pleasant to sit and eat with some background music playing. Food was absolutely delicious! It's a bit on the pricey side but you will definitely leave full and satisfied. I ordered the Pollito Pibil and my boyfriend ordered the Lechon Congri. We CLEARED our plates. We also ordered the Street Corn appetizer which was very tasty. Service was quick as well with be dry attentive staff. We were in and out in less than an hour.

The jalapeno toast was the star of the show, great flavors and textures. The ceviche was solid with maybe a little too much tomato for my personal taste. The lechon came in a mountain of pork and rice, if I were to get it again I would probably ask to get the meat on the side since all the sauce/oil dripped down into the rice. In total we spent ~90 for 2 people Ambiance: The restaurant is a really beautiful space, we loved the lighting and decorations Service: Here is where there were a few things took a turn. Service is obviously very subjective, but I felt like our waitress could have been more welcoming and explained more since she did ask us if it was our first time there and we said yes it was. There were 4 sauces that came with our meal and she never explained to us what they were or even what we should be eating them with. She also never checked in on us and when we asked for some boxes and the bill she seemed pretty dismissive. Something more weird for us was when another staff member came with a big camera and light and started taking pictures of us mid meal. After a few minutes she came back with framed photos of us and offered them to us for $20 a picture. When we declined she seemed irritated we didn't want to pay for a service we didn't ask for.

Not sure when they opened but the 5 star reviews on yelp are justified!! My husband and I were lazy to cook for ourselves and the kids so we decided to give them a try and oh my god I'm so happy we did! The food tastes fresh, delicious and homemade! We couldn't wait and finished quesadillas on the way home. The guacamole and salsa it came with was so delicious and fresh that I even finished that although I usually wouldn't. Nothing was left on the plate at the end :) The owner was there with another person and they were both very kind and thoughtful! You can tell they put their heart and soul into it! So I hope no one ruins it for them (and us) and brings down their spirits because we need this place to continue to be this good

I decided on the tacos al pastor and my wife had the deluxe burrito (with chicken). I don't think she finished her first bite before saying it was one of the best burritos she's had. Full of chicken and flavor right up to the end. My tacos were juicy and full of flavor. I'm just now getting started on my al pastor journey (Journey al Pastor?) but if this is a good example, it's going to be a fun adventure. I look forward to coming back and trying some other favorites here. Perhaps a touch pricier than I was expecting, but that's the way of things these days. Easy to spend just as much at a drive through, so at least the food was delightful.

This location is roomy. Service is warm; our server was helpful answering questions. The Food: Arepitas Fritas, $17 - 5+ Stars Four mini arepa in the appetizer section, these start with the same cornmeal (masa de maíz) base as the normal arepa, then topped with cheese, slow cooked beef, quail egg, and pink sauce. These bites are sooooo good! They sell the full-size arepas also, which will likely be a future meal. :) Platanos Fritos, $8 - 5 Stars Gotta love Latin foods with their plantains. Simple and delicious. Theirs are perfectly prepared. Camarones de Ajillo, $19 - 3.5 Stars These shrimps are cooked in garlic, herbs, and cream. The herb butter sauce is excellent, but the shrimps' quality is just ok. We liked it enough but will not order again. Asado Negro Tips, $23 - 3.5 Stars 8 oz of NY strip are cooked cubed in asado sauce, served with yuca fries and quasaca, a mini tomato and avocado salad. Again, the asado sauce is excellent, but the steak pieces are on the tough side. The yuca fries didn't stand out. This is also a 'liked it enough but won't order again' dish.

    A fantastic example of a great restaurant with an owner that can't get out of the way. From the…read morereviews and ranking on Google I had very high expectations and drove from my hotel in Tukwila to see this place and overall was very disappointed. The core of this restaurant and its food is great. Fresh meat burgers, grass fed, cooked and ground to order paired with the best possible pairings. The spirit of this restaurant is phenomenal and if someone else were to come in and buy them out and maintain the same business model I could see this restaurant being massively successful as a quick service restaurant model similar to Five Guys or In-and-Out. The *idea* is great. The reality is not. I get the feeling this restaurant has been in a long decline after reading a lot of other reviews and noticing trends. Like other people have mentioned, I walked into the owner at a table using it as an office space on his laptop. Not a great look, especially with the exterior looking how it does, but it's a hole in the wall restaurant from a self made chef who started off in a food truck - best things come in small packages right? I understand not having investment capital or lease permissions to do certain things. The place is empty, just us and the owner at the table. He takes our order, but not before launching into the sales pitch about how good his food is - once again, I get it. I worked in hospitality and restaurants a long time and have been the guy trying to hype up my restaurant or catering service before. He was nice, but his sales pitch quickly turned uncomfortable as he started deriding and complaining about just about everything related to the modern world and food systems, using each grievance as an opportunity to pat himself on the back. It was uncomfortable to say the least - I came for a burger, not a Dr. Oz segment. This continued across the entire meal, and despite trying to give every polite social indicator we weren't interested in talking to him, continued to talk, even after extended periods of silence. Anyway, we ordered the Taco Burger, Luxury Mushroom Burger, and a large order of fries. To start with the good - the fries were delicious, if slightly over salted. They were crispy and well done (A personal favorite, but some may not like that) and the roasted garlic aioli was absolutely phenomenal. The cheese on the burgers was awesome and just this massive blob of pizza commercial stringy goodness. The truffle burger wasn't over-truffled, which is always a risk with truffle products and overall was really great - and the texture of their burgers is something really special. The grind is very lean and almost coarse or shredded, which makes for a really great burger that constantly reminds you that it is a ground steak, not commercial ground beef. However, the food wasn't without faults - the biggest issue was that on the bottom of the taco burger's bun there was a chunk of raw meat smashed into it - not rare or blue, but never-has-seen-fire raw pink ground beef. Not really being that scared of raw meat I didn't say anything but just tore it off and made a hole in the bun when I saw it, but having worked restaurants that's a pretty massive mistake as raw food and prepared food shouldn't be sharing surfaces without sanitizing much less touching. Beyond that, the burger itself was extremely salty, which I'm normally the type of person that likes really salty foods, but it was overwhelming with the taco seasoning just all over it. The other issue I had with it was that the toppings were just kind of indistinguishable, and the whole thing very much just tasted like straight taco seasoning - which made sense once given the context that he made the taco burger "as a joke". Also, the burger was not consistently cooked, with one side being medium and the other side being rare (the color of my husbands burger that was ordered rare) If there was a 2.5 rating, that's what I would give it. To me, a 2 is a restaurant I wouldn't voluntarily go back to but if someone wanted to or it was the only option I would and a 3 is a restaurant that I wouldn't go out of my way to go to, but would maybe stop at if I was in the area or it was convenient. This is somewhere inbetween that. I want to give them another chance and I might - but the cross contamination and horribly uncomfortable experience make me hesitant to try it again - *especially* after seeing how this owner interacts with other bad reviews on Google.

    It's a decent burger - not bad all but definitely had better. They have a of didn't variations and…read moreI ended up settling on the addict (caramelized onions, white cheddar). I ordered two burger meals and it came out to $34. I felt like it was a bit overpriced as 1) The burgers are small and 2) you can get a can of soda instead of a fountain drink. Also the fries were soggy (tasted ok). Great customer service as the owner was engaging and welcoming.

The service was great--everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The menu is pretty extensive, especially when it comes to tacos, so there are plenty of options to choose from. I tried the asada, carnitas, birria, and adobada tacos. All were decent, with the birria being my favorite. The other meats weren't bad by any means, but they were a bit on the drier side compared to some other taco spots I've been to. The rice and beans were pretty standard--exactly what you'd expect, nothing particularly standout. One thing I really liked, though, was the self-serve salsa bar. It's always a plus being able to customize your flavors. One thing to note is that you do need to bus your own table, but considering the price and portion sizes, it feels fair and worth it. Overall, a solid spot for a casual meal. I'll definitely be exploring more of this area of Renton--there seem to be a ton of authentic Mexican restaurants nearby.
