I took several trains and buses to make it here, and it was well worth it to support this business. Whether you're visiting Seattle or a resident, I strongly encourage everyone to support native owned businesses as much as possible. My girlfriend and I Decided to order two of the braised bison tacos, the pork pork, a classic, and two of the sweet fry breads with seasonal jam. Everything was so scrumptious and definitely A place to visit when you're in Seattle read more

The frybread was incredible! Would highly recommend the cinnamon/sugar if you're looking for a sweet (but not SO sweet) treat. Veggie chili Indian taco (without the crema) hit the spot and the prices are super-affordable! If you're looking for a snack or a second lunch (or dinner) or just want a happy hour bite, this place is for you. Lines can be long but it's well-worth the wait, for sure! So happy this place exists...my only recommendation is for more options of tacos for the veggie crowd! read more

Beautiful glass encased/enclosed building, letting in natural light. Smallish space with long tables and stool seating near entrance. We had the BBQ pulled pork taco and breakfast taco. Also treated ourselves to a cold pour and rose (about $4 each). Loved the fry bread, it was light and flaky and reminded me of the funnel cakes served in the Midwest. Great stop before we toured the museum. read more

Off the Rez - Rose and Cold Brew Coffee - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Awesome for a museum cafe, but maybe I went during an off hour because I felt like the fry bread was a little stale and not super freshly fried. The seating and area is lovely though, and I like the offerings that are not your usual run of the mill cafe. The cedar blackberry tea was okay but lacking in flavor and I couldn't really taste the "cedar" part of it. read more

Weird way to put it but reminiscent of a Chipotle but like 3x better. Had one of their rice and chopped bison bowls and was absolutely delighted. Wish I got to try their fried bread but got carried away catching up with a dear old friend. read more

Frybread is life. We've had this catered at work multiple times, and it's been a huge hit every single time. The versatility to make frybread sweet or savory: Off the Rez nails it every single time. Their bison is my favorite protein they make. read more

I was on the hunt to find some indigenous food ever since I stumbled across a Pow Wow by accident during my trip in Hawaii. That's a whole separate story, but I had the best Fry Bread there and I have been craving it ever since! Off the Rez does a great job of satisfying that craving. My cashier recommended the chicken chili verde indian taco however the beef chili is better by far (I got both). Topped with lettuce and pickled red onions, I devoured this in seconds. So yummy! read more

I've heard about Off the Rez for a while now and finally got the chance to try it. It was pretty busy with most seats filled but we did manage to find a place to sit and eat. I got the bbq pulled pork taco which came with pulled pork, honey bbq sauce and coleslaw on the homemade frybread. It was honestly so delicious and flavorful and I really enjoyed it. The pulled pork was super tender and the coleslaw added a nice crunch. The frybread was so airy and fluffy, yet crispy on the outside. I will definitely be coming back here to try the other dishes! read more

Delicious tacos and fried bread! We tried the BBQ pork, Indian chili tacos and sweet fried bread. Everything has such great flavor. We will be back! read more

overall (5/5): absolute hidden gem by UW! delicious food at an affordable price. food (5/5): everything is delicious! the bread is super fluffy, and the pork is flavorful. I usually get one taco and it fills me up 70% of the way there already. service (5/5): the food comes out quick! ambiance (5/5): it is inside the burke museum, and on sunny days they open the "garage door" windows at the front, and it lets in a nice breeze. read more

I had the pleasure of eating some appetizers or small dishes from Off the Rez during the grand re-opening of the Burke Museum. The tacos were really good and I was thrilled to see a unique concept available at what is also a great museum. Will no doubt raise the stars once I get a chance to try more. read more

So good! I tried the bbq pulled pork taco and the sweet fry bread with honey. Everything was good including the taste, texture, and the crisp of the fry bread. Both the sweet ant the savory were spot on. Also plenty of seating. I want to try their bison tacos in the future. read more

Off the Rez - Chicken Chile Verde Indian Taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A great place for quick bite because you can get your food ready very quickly and the food portion is very small that you can quickly finish them. The staff is very friendly, the price is comparatively high. My first time trying Indian tacos, the braised bison meat taco. The fry bread is somehow similar to puffy pita. Bison meat is flavored but lack the juicy. The toppings were kind of generic, some greens, radish, and some sauce. Very small one. My friends recommended their sweet frybread with sugar and cinnamon. read more

Amazing amazing amazing fry bread! I made it a point to go to this spot while visiting Seattle because I had never had North American indigenous fry bread/bake and this restaurant did NOT disappoint! We had some lunch here then toured the Burke museum and it was an amazing experience (the food; the museum was great too though lol). They open up the window wall for fresh air so it is a really nice environment as well. read more

So glad I got to try Off the rez, it's been on my list for a while. Thankfully they open late during Burke's first free Thursday of the month. I tried their beef chili and bison taco. I recommend the beef chili, it was very flavorful and a variety of textures. I went around 7:50pm, at that point and perhaps earlier it's takeout only (reasonable). read more

The pulled pork rice bowl was one of the best things I've ever eaten. I liked that it was a mix of wild rice and white rice, so you got some good texture from the wild rice without it being overwhelming. All three of the sauces on the bowl were great, and I enjoyed the vegetables, too. And of course they still have the best frybread in town, hands down. read more

I stopped by Off the Rez food truck outside of my work the other day. I have never had Indian tacos before and wasn't really sure what they were. Boy was I in for a treat! I got the veggie chili tacos. They were served on warm delicious fry bread, topped with crisp fresh veggies, and topped with a lovely sauce, chipotle maybe? I will forever be on the lookout for this food truck, and look forward to trying more of the menu. read more

Off the Rez - Vegetarian Veggie Chili Indian Taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I loved their food truck though the café experience was underwhelming. Still, if you've never had fry bread, this is a must do. ALL ABOARD FOR THE FOOD TRUCK. I've eaten at the food truck a number of times. The team is friendly and the food is served hot. The food truck offered veggie tacos with a spiced refried bean and delicious crema with some lettuce and pickled onions. The food truck is my 5 star experience. Because I loved the food truck so much, I made a point to trek to U district and visit the cafe. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT IN THE CAFE. The cafe had many more food options. The egg and cheese breakfast taco felt odd coming with lettuce and pickled onion. The veggie chili was fine but just had me longing for the refried bean option from the truck which was sadly not on this menu. Somehow the pulled pork was cold and the bison didn't have as much of the lovely bison gaminess as expected. For the faults of these proteins, the tacos were still on that delicious, warm fry bread which made this a trip worth taking. SOME TECHNICAL DETAILS. The cafe sits inside the Burke museum. You do not need to pay for a museum ticket to eat here. I found street parking for $0.75 or their was a paid lot across the street. The cafe itself was incredibly spacious. I was surprised how crowded the cafe was at 2 PM on a Saturday, though the food only took 10 minutes to be ready. If I'm in the cafe neighborhood I'll be stopping by for a fry bread. If I see the food truck, I'll go out of my way to make a visit. read more

I've been wanting to eat here for about 2 years. At least. But I also hate driving lol but I had a really rough day and decided I deserved a treat. I wanted to get the pulled pork, but they were out. They said the bison was similar. I don't know if it was similar, but it was so delicious. So good, I'm coming back Monday and bringing my coworkers. read more

I'm glad Off The Rez specializes in fry bread because damn, it was good and there really aren't many places that do it. But the savory dishes seemed to be amiss. My friend and I spotted this food truck, as it was the truck that was parked outside of Optimism Brewery when we visited. You always need bites with your beer; and when she found out that Off the Rez was here, she was excited to try their fry bread. I had never eaten fry bread before, but was down to try something new. My friend ordered the Powwow Burger, a bacon cheeseburger with fry bread for buns, while I had two Indian tacos, one with pork and the other with chicken. Menu was pretty standard with taco and burger combinations, with sides like kale salad and fries. My Indian tacos were A-OK. Don't get me wrong - the fry bread was awesome! It was soft and fluffy and had crispy edges. I would've happily just eaten it by itself. But getting it as a taco, to sandwich the meat and toppings seemed to distract from the real winner of Off The Rez, the fry bread. Both of my meats, chicken and pork were bland. You'd think that with the toppings it wouldn't be so, but they were. My chicken taco included shredded cheese and slaw in a crema sauce while the pork one had a BBQ sauce with slaw and was supposed to have jalapenos, but sadly, they must've forgot to put it on. The sauces did help to add some flavor to the tacos, but meat just never came through. My friend felt the same way about her Powwow Burger, saying that the beef patty tasted like it wasn't seasoned. I advise getting a sweet fry bread item instead of a savory dish, in hopes that it fares much better. The fry bread was really good, so the simpler the toppings, the better. read more

Off the Rez catered our retreat and the food was amazing. Im still thinking about it a few days later...enough to post a review and find out where I can get more of this delicious food and take my partner! The fry bread tacos were unique and such a treat. There was also a sweet potato dish that i kept going back to for more. Highly recommend! read more

Cute, clean cafe inside of the Burke museum on the UW campus. Try fry bread here; I had never eaten bison or fry bread before visiting Off the Rez and it was a fun little adventure. I'd recommend the pork taco (over the bison) with a non-sugary drink. I got a coke and it was too sweet to pair with the barbecue sauce on the pork taco. You can eat inside the cafe or outside on the museum's garden steps. read more

The location and atmosphere of this coffee shop would be ideal for UW students who need a quick snack or pick me up before their next class. However, I would recommend visiting any another coffee shop on the ave who have much nicer employees who follow your orders and do not act visibly annoyed when you order anything. I visit the Burke location often and am always met with employees who don't talk to you, do not write the special requests on your drink cup, and do not even look up at you when you're ordering. It is also important to note that I simply order an iced americano - nothing difficult. I feel unwelcome when I order or honestly, just exist in their cafe. In addition, their coffee is not good enough to excuse their poor service and rude attitudes. Some shops I do recommend visiting in UDistrict over this coffee spot include Cafe Solstice, Cafe Allegro, or Herkimer all located on the ave. read more

would rate this place 6 stars if i could! we stopped by after a visit to the Burke Museum and I got the chicken taco which was soooo yummy. The fry bread was perfectly fried (). Staff is really nice and food came out very quick! Will definitely be back to try some more tacos! read more

Off The Rez was off the hook. Came here because it was parked at Optimism Brewing where they do not sell food, thank goodness Off The Rez saved me from starvation at a birthday gathering. Not sure exactly how to describe this truck as it's not a taco truck, but they do have tacos. They call them, "Indian tacos" because it's starved on an air-fried bread which to my surprise, it was delicious. 2 tacos was filling! The guy that served me was also really nice. Now that I have time to sit down and do some research, this truck is known for their air-fried bread that they serve in more variety besides tacos. I hope to see them again next time I visit Optimism Brewing, but I guess they rotate out the food trucks on a daily so make sure you follow their schedule. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Off the Rez - Indian tacos. Love, @eatoutthao - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is the best food truck in Seattle (maybe even ever). The tacos here are so unique I have never had anything like them. They have a fried dough base and a variety of toppings- I love their vegetarian and pork. To top it off they have amazing desserts my personal favorite the lemon curd. They move around in terms of location so whenever I get the chance to eat here I do. My top recommendation for anyone going to the farmers market. read more

We were first introduced to these guys at the food and wine experience in 2019. Living over in Yakima, the name was instantly intriguing, and after talking to the guys, we liked them even more. The guys running the place is super cool bunch that are taking a traditional native dish and giving it a little modern flair. Most of the fry bread we have on the side of the mountains is of the sweet variety - The first time I had one, it reminded me of a thick, smaller elephant ear with a lot of good stuff on top. Here they sell a couple different versions. The sweet fry bread is more what we have been used to and they serve it with any of a number of different topping options. We were pretty impressive what they were offering! The guava curd was ultimately the choice and it was legit! If the English Tea-aristocracy gets wind of it, they may trade out their lemon curd! Honey, a bunch of different berries and cinnamon/sugar were the other options and I imagine all are legit! The savory options are termed Indian Tacos. These are probably the best we've ever tasted! We had a braised bison one and it was pretty amazing. The opportunity to consume a less common meat on some next level fried carbs was exactly what we were looking for. The place has a decent amount of seating and you can go into the museum front room and eat as well. They've got decent beverage options including- beer - wine - pop - coffee & juice. While it's not the most convenient location, the food is exceptionally good and the guys running the place are doing a solid job. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth your time to check it out. read more
