    Tortas. Perfect
    Jessie J.

    Bomb! Finally a good Mexican food spot. Seattle doesn't have any good spot to eat but this places 10/10. Highly recommended this spot.

    Al Pastor to go
    Aurora B.

    I had trouble finding this place at first- it was dark out and their spot is in a small cluster of businesses (next to the Barber Shop and Vape O Ram). I ordered a bunch of tacos to go. No sides like rice or beans on their menu. But sometimes that's a sign that they just focus on their good stuff. The space is clean, smells like delicious tacos, and has plenty of tables and parking. The staff were quick to make my order and very nice. I also appreciate places with the tap to pay set up. Tacos were good. Plenty of salsa and limes given per taco as well as a generous pile of diced onion and cilantro.

    This place!! Omg.. we love this taco and tortas place in Burien. We have always stopped by for dinner and they run out of few meat options but always have the one I love - Longainza.. i absolutely love their tortas and order their longainza torta and devour every bite of it.. they have 4 sauces and each of them compliment the torta and elevate the flavors!! Love their spiciest and second spicy one - but I am a total spice lover so drizzle at your own risk. There is plenty of indoor seating and food is served pretty quick. Reasonably priced tortas and portion size is good to stuff one up solid. Staff is friendly and you always have regulars stop by. They have ample parking. I cant wait to stop by and try their al pastors cos I am sure they will taste divine. See you soon again.

    This place lives up to (and exceeds) the hype! As a Californian living in Seattle, I can definitely recommend Paco's Tacos for great tasting Mexican food. I was also so happy with the amount of kindness/friendliness we were shown by the employees! They primarily have pork options for meat with asada being the only beef option. I do wish they had chicken, but I can appreciate how they keep their menu small and simple. I also don't mind too much because the asada tacos were DELICIOUS! I didn't need any type of sauce on my asada tacos because they were just that good. They also give a very generous portion of meat, so much that I was able to split my taco into two by using both my tortillas! I was also able to do this because the corn tortillas were sturdy and didn't rip. These were definitely my favorite tacos around the Seattle area. Come support Paco's Tacos!!! TIP: They do not serve the entire menu daily as they rotate the options. From what I remember, they only do al pastor on Thursday through Sunday (or Friday through Sunday, I forgot... I would call to make sure they have what you want!).

    Campechano and Al pastor tacos

    Came here for the first time and can definitely say I'll be back! First off, service was insanely good. Just really good people making really good food. The guy who took our order was so friendly and genuine. He recommended the tortas and said his favs for tacos are al pastor and the campechano meats, which is what I went with. Tacos had lots of meat and lots of flavors. I also liked that the sauces they had (not pictured) came in squeeze bottles for easy dispensing. The tortas were similarly great and had crispy cheese! I got one carnitas and one al pastor torta. Since 2 come in an order they're great for sharing. Meats were very flavorful, probably some of the better ones I've had at a Mexican restaurant. Ambiance was casual. Bench seating and nothing fancy, but very clean and well maintained. Just felt like such a good, honest business and it's not often I feel that kind of warmth when I eat out.

    Found the place on Yelp, so came out to try some "bussin tacos" haha. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted. We walked up to the counter to order, and the workers were all super kind and warm. We ordered, sat, and our food came out to us pretty quickly. I ordered the torta with carnitas and longainza. The bread was warm, toasted, and fluffy with the perfect crunch. They cook the meat on a slice of cheese and fold it up to add to the sandwich so it's like a little cheese blanket around the meat. So cute. The meat itself was really good. I enjoyed the carnitas a lot. But I wish the tortas came with more toppings. It's good, but it wasn't bussin Overall, a very solid place. They load their tacos with the most meat I've seen in awhile, and the meats themselves are good. But still have yet to find a good place to get tortas.

    [starting back left, clockwise] ASADA, AL PASTOR, and CARNITAS Y CUERITOS tacos

    Paco's Tacos is the talk of the town (at least on Yelp and Google Reviews, which is how I found them!). My boyfriend and I tried Paco's Tacos for the first time this past week and were very impressed by the food and service. Paco's Tacos is not your average taco place as they serve unique meats choices including: Al Pastor (thinly sliced pork with pineapple), Arabes, Orientales, Asada (beef), Longainza (which is like chorizo), Campechano (Asada and Longainza), and Carnitas y Cueritos (pork mixed with pieces of pickled pork fat). Their tacos are all served street style and come with a double tortilla and are topped with minced onions and cilantro. They also serve Combinations, which are plates of veggies and meat with tortillas on the side so that you can assemble your own tacos. Additionally, they offer chicharrones (deep fried pork skin), tortas (sandwiches), and some other dishes that I was unfamiliar with like bombitas, gringa, and sabrosas. They unfortunately didn't have Arabes or Orientales available, but my boyfriend and I ordered one of each taco type that they did have available. Each taco was $3.75, and so a little on the pricier side, but still affordable, considering that they are pretty generous with the meat. With a Mexican drink, the total came to around $30 for everything including tax and tip. AL PASTOR - this was our favorite. The pork was basically shaven into jerky like slices and very well marinated. ASADA- the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. Can't complain here. LONGAINZA - the sausage had great savory and spicy taste. CAMPECHANO - the best of both asada and longainza. I think the combination really worked well here and I would get this again. CARNITAS Y CUERITOS - this was interesting. I had no idea what cueritos were until I looked it up on Google. As someone who doesn't normally enjoy fatty meat or blocks of meat fat, this wasn't for me. However, it was cool trying a new dish. Don't forget to try their homemade salsas! They have verde, chipotle, rojo, and one other that looks like sriracha mayonaise that is deceivingly, the spiciest of them all (which the woman working there warned us about). The last one definitely leaves some tingling heat in your mouth. We liked the chipotle the best as it had the perfect touch of sweetness (perhaps honey?). Service was fantastico! All workers were very friendly and personable; even the workers cooking asked how our day was going. They brought out within 10 minutes or less too. According to Google, they are open from 3pm - 10pm everyday, so a great place for dinner or a late night snack! They share a parking lot with some other businesses in the plaza, but they have about 6 spots or so reserved specifically for just their business. The atmosphere is very fun and casual. Our table wasn't wiped yet, but other than that, everything looked very clean and updated. Overall: 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 4.5/5 for atmosphere

    Asada Tacos

    Hands down some of the best tacos ever. I go at least once a week. Every time I go, the food and sauces are fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The customer service is amazing -- they really make you feel welcome. You can tell this place is run by people who genuinely care about what they do. The restaurant is always clean and the atmosphere is great. Hats off to Paco and the whole staff!

    Orientales

    Food and service was amazing! This was our first time coming here and the staff was very nice and welcoming! Food was delicious!

    Pacos Taco's is a hidden gem in Burien. As soon as you walk in, you're warmly greeted by the family. Dante, such a nice guy, helped recommend some items. I ended up getting the Campechano, Carnitas y Cueritos, and Asada tacos, along with an order of Tortas, which was packed with flavor. Each taco had its own unique taste, served on warm tortillas. Something about their finely diced onions and cilantro just made everything better. they serve four different sauces. The green one was my favorite, but watch out one of them is very spicy. The inside has a cozy vibe with fun music playing. Definitely give this place a try.

    Finally made the drive here after all the videos online. I got there on a Friday around 7pm and unfortunately they were sold out of a few different meats but I usually prefer asada anyways which they had! I got the Tortas and poblanitas. The torta might easily be the best I've had in Washington. There are lots of options too, especially in nearby(ish) cities like Renton and Kent. The star of the show (besides all the food) was the salsas. The spiciest one had so much flavor with the right amount of heat. There is some seating inside but not that much, it wasn't as busy as I expected for a Friday night though so I didn't wait long! The woman at the front helped me pick what to get and she was very friendly!

    Oct. 6, 2026 11:30 ish…read more Address is a little confusing, so once you get in the area, use your eyes and you'll find the place ... The outside a little scary, is it open or am I at the right place ? Finally I get out of the car and try the door You open the door and you go from Burien, Wa to all the colors, the murals of Oaxaca, Mexico, every wall has a mural, the colors, it kinda feels like I walked into a good episode of The Twilight Zone. My fear now was, how am I going to communicate to the girl what I want because all I know is English and thank God she was bilingual and her English was perfect so it was one less stress in my life that I had to worry about because I knew I found someplace I'm going to enjoy... I showed her the photo that someone took almost 8 years ago, told her I want this exactly as the picture and off she went ... Next thing I knew, she brought out my drink my utensils and also a sample of the soup and let me say that was delicious on a cold day I could see myself eating a bowl of this soup... I did see another customer order some kind of soup, its a big bowl, I'll be back for sure now, that soup looks delicious. My (mexican pizza in English) came and it was big and like any pizza, you had your pick of ingredients and I guess mine would be more like a combination pizza, so i think i know how I'll make my next pizza, next time I order it .. Don't expect Tex Mex or Taco Bell type food here, its from the region of Oaxaca, Mexico and what i got, it was different it was delicious it was a little bit spicy for me but overall IT WAS GOOD ! I little pricey but the service was on point, the food was delicious and it was an good experience, so it was worth it ... Hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

Instead of enjoying the game, we ended up leaving early because of how we were treated. My wife uses a wheelchair and relies on a trained service dog. From the moment we walked in, the owner, Hilda Ramos, was hostile and made it clear that our service dog was not welcome. We explained that the dog is a trained service animal, but she repeatedly came back to our table to question us, making us feel uncomfortable throughout our visit. By the end of our visit, she told us that our service dog would not be allowed back. The dog was calm, well-behaved, and under control the entire time. We had reserved our table in advance to enjoy the game, but because of the owner's behavior, we didn't even get to finish watching it. We didn't even finish our food or our drinks, yet we still paid our entire bill and left because we no longer felt welcome. As a fellow Mexican, and my african wife, it was especially disappointing to be treated this way. I left feeling disrespected, unwelcome, and deeply disappointed. No customer should be made to feel like they don't belong, especially when they're simply trying to enjoy a meal and are accompanied by a legitimate service animal. I hope the owner takes the time to understand the rights of customers who rely on service animals and treats every guest with dignity and respect. Based on our experience, we will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant. The owner is racist and I will make sure ADA knows about her

I even tried coming alone one time, and today my friend and I got in RIGHT away! The universe was working in sooo many ways this time around. Now... I SHOULD have looked at the menu ahead of time! Wayyyy too many options IMO. I love having options, but for a smaller spot like this, I feel like focusing on your best dishes and PERFECTING those would make more sense! Anyways, that's just my opinion! Ha! I got the carne asada omelet with tortillas, beans and potatoes. The potatoes were flavorful. Not crispy, but tasty. The beans -- BOOOMMMBBB! The tortillas -- PERFECT. The omelet was just OK. The flavor was a little lacking, but it was fine. If I had waited an hour for that omelet, though... it would NOT have been OK. Sooo maybe we can remove that one from the menu! Now the hot cocoa... DELICIOUS, different and fun! The coffee was fun too, especially with the hazelnut cream. But when I pulled up the menu, I forgot they make those fun bomb drinks, and I didn't see the drink menu at the counter -- which I wish I had! So if you come here, definitely get one of the fun coffees/drinks or the hot cocoa! I wasn't quite sure how to rate the French toast (photo) because my friend wasn't really feeling well, but I did ask him what he thought and he said they were good! Now, this man is from LA, so the standards are HIGH but he said they were better than the French toast down the street! And I have to mention -- the breakfast burrito I had last time and the mascarpone coffee were DELICIOUS... but that was over three years ago, so I'm not sure how much weight we can put on that review! Overall, I'm glad I FINALLY got back in! Sometimes you just gotta let the universe work it out.
