Am I able to swear? I'm about to, here it goes... HOLY MOLY!! I've always thought that tacos in…read moreWashington were mediocre at best, especially when you compare it to states down south (you know where I'm talking about). Sure there are great taco places for the Puget Sound area, but Xantolo Taqueria? You just earned the spot for best tacos in Washington in my eyes, and mouth. I came during Taco Tuesday, and they INDEED do have a special promotion. I ordered two of their carnitas tacos which each came out to about $2 each, and two of their asada tacos came out $3.25 (unfortunately not part of Taco Tuesday). Honestly though? These tacos were SO GOOD that I would just pay the original price to support them. The meat was cooked to perfection, tender meat, with a bit of a nice crisp for the carnitas. The garnishing was just right, with dice red onions and cilantro laying over the tacos, and a side of lime, pepper, and radish. Now the tortillas? They have mastered the texture. For me, if the taco's tortilla isn't good it ruins the whole taco. But Xantolo knows how to get things done right. With a nice crisp to the bottom of the taco while still remaining soft to bite into, it was a whole masterpiece! I might be over-glazing this taco truck, but I'm serious about how good this is.

I almost didn't stop because I didn't see the truck until I'd almost passed, so I actually had to…read moremake a U turn for a late lunch. I'm so glad I did. I had a carnitas tacos, a birria taco, a pork tamale, and horchata. Everything was so tasty and fresh. The carnitas was soft and flavorful. I really enjoyed the flavors in the birria. I think it's my favorite birria taco I've had. The horchata was homemade. It was refreshing. Thank you for the tasty meal!

I had written a review on the original location. I heard they sold the place. We stopped by here…read moreafter many years of being away... and wishing, missing this food badly. This is the best burrito in all of Tacoma/Lakewood!!! I tell everyone to try them. People don't know what they are missing, because they are just getting pupusas. Who would think they would have great burritos. So, these are not like any other burritos, because they are not Mexican. They use their delicious black beans, their white rice with a few little veg, sour cream, onions, cilantro, you can get really good chile sauce if you want it spicy. The sauce is so good. No cheese... can you believe it? Cheese is not even needed. You can get chicken or carne asada, or like we got, no meat and they will add avocado slices. I really wanted no meat, and platano frito added. This is what we used to get, and it's great. They should add a no meat option to the menu, and also the platano option. Everyone that loves unique delicious burritos, come check this place out. The guy that took my order was friendly, and even made our burrito half no cilantro. Thanks! They get busy.

Pupusas tasted great and the staff was nice when they took down my order, but genuinely :/ because…read morevery little napkins given and only a plastic fork in my bag? I ordered to-go, and I am genuinely surprised that they do not have more condiments available, especially with the salsa as I got 4 pupusas. No wet wipe, which may be asking for a lot, but at least make it up with the paper napkins. I love that it is near base, but u might as well order to eat-in the restaurant. That way u get all that u need. Better inspection on my end could have been done, but just :o at the...stinginess. That sounds like a harsh word, I know, but how else do I describe it...?

One of the best breakfast burrito I have got from a Mexican restaurant. The main reason was because they use hash brown potatoes. Everything was fresh and made to order. I love that they cut it in half too. The salsas were excellent.

Come on Los Tamales!!!…read more You use to be one of my favorite places. I'm glade they finally replaced the torn up booth with tables. Maybe one day they would replace the broken soda machine. I had my usual Molcajete. The meat was over cooked and dried out. The sauce was slimy and tasteless. Except for the good service this place is really going down hill.

This is a (possibly Mexican themed) restaurant that serves tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and etc…read more Decently priced for what you get in return! (Cost): $8.27 + tip (Location): It's in a fantastic area inside a fairly busy shopping and food center in Ruston. There are beautiful views of the water not too far from here and a lot of places for you to sit at and eat. The actual building that this place is in was very crowded though, so I would take my food and go. There is a parking garage, along with a parking lot in front of the building that wasn't full at 11am, but it did fill up by 1 pm. The only con is that people weren't cleaning up after their pets, so watch where you step! (Service): Great, the cashier and the employee who handed me my meal were friendly enough. (Food): Street Tacos Combo (5/5)-- came with beans, rice, three tacos with your choice of meat, and a drink of your choice. Absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked barbacoa! This felt like it could feed two to three people, so of course I made it my mission to eat the whole thing in one goal. That's the only downside-- the meat is very oily and heavy, so if you're sensitive you should definitely not eat the entire thing in one sitting. Other than that it was one of the best tacos that I have had in Washington.

I've been here twice, getting the fish dinner and later sides of rice and beans…read more I thought the rice had lots of flavor, and I'll go back for more. The beans weren't my favorite at first taste, but they grew on me. They are flavorful too, and a tiny bit spicy. I'll order them again too. The fish was fried (not deep fried), straightforward, delicious. I love that there's a fish option with all the other meats. The price of the fish was on the menu, but I didn't see prices for the rice and beans sides. When the sides' cost was told to me, I was somewhat surprised ($9.44) as it seemed a little high. But I realize costs are going up for everyone and these folks planned, purchased, and cooked the ingredients for my tasty meals, plus they need to make some profit doing it. So, I'll pay it. They deserve it. The parking is awkward if not dangerous. It's worth parking on a side street half a block or more away. The location is great, very convenient, however.

So this is an odd one for me, and quite frankly I've never had to write a review like this…read more I had been meaning to stop by here for quite some time and even had a few friends say it was good. I finally decided to stop in and grab some lunch on my way back from a business meeting. I just started a new job, so brand new company credit card, never used it before until this moment. Keep that in mind. The food was pretty good. I ordered Birria Fries and let me tell you, it was pretty massive. For the price, this is a great deal. and the flavor was on point. I was extremely happy with the food. The decor is kind of "meh", it's obnoxiously over the top with the yellow and red. I get that it's sort of, maybe, kind of in some way giving a Mexican vibe. Whatever. I grew up in Texas and don't know that I'd call it a Mexican vibe, but it isn't my restaurant. Anyways, back to the card thing. Upon arriving home, imagine my surprise when I was notified that my card had been compromised and used to pay for a porn site. Brand new job, brand new card, never used before. Literally the only charge made on it. And boom, compromised. So my advice is, watch how you pay here and maybe only use cash, otherwise you risk your credit card being used to buy online porn. That was fun to explain to my new boss. So I'll give this one 2 stars, because the food was good. But the compromised card really irritates me. I will never trust this place again.

If you have not eaten here, you're missing out on excellent customer service…read more The food is always fresh when we eat here, and the restaurant is clean. The food here is decent quality and I am thankful nothing here hurts my stomach! Which is a plus for me, it can be challenging to locate restaurants no matter how low cost or high priced the food. I have eaten most items on their menu including drink's and desserts. I apologize for not being able to due a check-in or take more pictures for you all, simply due to the WiFi connection. It's not the best in the area, but who needs internet when you're munching down delicious food! If your in the area and looking for a quick meal or a snack, stop by and give them a try. I hope you will enjoy your meal. As always thank you for following my reviews and stay safe out there. Don't forget to join me on my next bit!

Got the lengua mulita and tamarindo agua Fresca, which were both good. The mulita was really small…read morein size, which I wish was specified in the menu or by the staff because it looked bigger in the picture of the drive thru menu. Staff here was very attentive as they granted military discount to me even though I was in the drive thru, but I had my uniform on. They took initiative just like that. Service took a bit for the mulita to be made. About a 5 minute wait. Thank gosh that this restaurant opens late until 2300 or 11PM so I could eat something before I got called in to work. Could not tell that this place was open because so dim inside and the chairs were up on the tables when I came by around 2230 or 10:30PM.
