I've posted about their amazing breakfast burritos in the past but their tacos are really really good too- but for me what elevates them are the spicy carrots onions and jalapeños they provide optionally on the side. We usually order for delivery (DoorDash) but their seating at the truck is plentiful and covered when it's raining. (I do miss the bus tho )
This place has good tacos. I come here often but be prepared for hit or miss on your food sometimes. All their meats are pretty good. I would say the lengua was my favorite. I wanted to try adobada but they gave me chicken instead. Overall it was delicious and I'll come back.
Amazing food! Tacos and cheesy fries is my combo. If you have to choose only one menu item, then it has to be the asada tacos.
I have mixed feelings on Tacos El Asadero. I tried 3 days in a row to order a tamale and each day they said they had none. I tried once in the morning, once for early dinner and once late night. I also tried to order beef taquitos and they were out of those too. I'm not sure if they use frozen taquitos and ran out. The young guy who worked there was nice. I ended up ordering carnitas tacos and spicy pork tacos that comes with the standard onions and cilantro with two tortillas. The salsa came on the side and had a little bit of a bit. You also get pickled carrots, radish, lime and jalapeño. The carnitas were tender with a crisp on the outside and good flavor. The spicy pork was flavorful too. I would give the tacos 4 stars but a sad face for having tamales on the menu but none for sale over three days. The Taco bus is cool with seating inside and a covered area outside with tables. To avoid any disappointment I will stop trying to order tamales or beef taquitos. There is nothing worse to looking forward to something and then not be able to get the item. I'll still go back for tacos.
Not really sure why this place has a steady stream of customers. Yea the meat is pretty good but look at that sorry taco. Where's the onions and cilantro? From the various pictures other Yelpers uploaded, you can see how they're inconsistent with the ingredients and condiments. On top of that, each taco is $2.75?! I get we're living with inflation and rising gas prices but that's just a yikes for what you get. Torta was forgettable and didn't even have that much meat. I'm just glad I was content after sharing this meal with my gf. I wish we got green sauce because the red sauce tasted whatever. For 2 tacos and a torta I paid $17. Pretty rough.. my taste buds were sad and so was my bank account. Outside of the nice lengua you get with the taco, would not recommend. Lacking ingredients and overpriced. Sorry.
Came back here because it's - priced well - has easy parking - food comes out fairly quick (10-15 min) - meat is well seasoned and cooked perfectly I noticed some reviews mentioned their tacos don't have enough onions, beans, or avocado. If you want extra ingredients, I'm sure you can just ask. The prices are very reasonable.
A very popular Mexican food truck for lunch! I ended up waiting longer than I wanted since there was such a long line. Tacos are $2.75 each and the plates (burrito, chimichanga, nachos, enchiladas) are all around $12. They have lots of meat options including stead, chicken, pork, tongue, cheek, etc. I got the burrito plate ($12) which came with a normal sized burrito with a side of rice, beans, sour cream, and guacamole. The burrito had cheese and steak in it (no rice/beans/etc). Overall, I thought the food was pretty tasty. People mentioned in other reviews that the portions were big, but I thought the portion sizes were very average (I finished all my food in one sitting). I'd go back if I was in the area and wanted Mexican, but wouldn't go out of my way or seek out the food.
We have tried tacos with carnitas, lengua, pork stomach and beef cheek. All tacos are amazing especially the stomach and cheek. Love the pickles that comes with all dishes, jalapeños are spicy and good. Only downside is they do not provide napkins on the desk, which is hard to clean after a messy meal. Overall highly recommend!
FYI: This location is marked as closed, but as of 1/2/21 I have placed an order for takeout. Don't be alarmed if you enjoy this place or are wanting to eat here, just give them a call (if Yelp hasn't updated their phone number, you can Google for it as well). Highlights: - Great Mexican food at great prices - Sometimes a long line, but easy to order ahead - Tax included in prices, 50 cent charge if you pay with card - Basically a taco bus so expect to dine outside (under a shelter) or take it to go After realizing just how much Mexican food is actually around in the South Seattle area, I've been on the hunt, trying all the restaurants and buses I can. So far, this location has been my favorite for their Pollo Panchero and Camarones a la Diabla, both tomato based stew dishes. In both cases the portion sizes are pretty large: 1.5 meals if I'm hungry, 2 if I'm not for only $12/$14 respectively. The chicken and shrimp are both cooked to be tender but never overdone. The rice and beans are good (though the best I've found still remains at Los Tinos further south). Highly recommend this place, it's got me missing Texas a little less.
I came here on a Sunday night around 7pm and it was pretty busy with a line. I got the carnitas, lengua, and tripa tacos and they were all delicious but the lengua was the best for sure. I will definitely come back when I'm in the neighborhood!

I ordered the Birria Tacos with Consomè, and the flavor was really good - good enough that I'd come back for some quick tacos. My only critique is that the tacos weren't as filled with meat as they could have been, and by the second taco the tortilla had gotten soggy. Next time, I'll probably bring them home and pop them in the air fryer to crisp them back up. Overall, tasty and worth a return visit! read more

Came for dinner Friday, and it was so good we came back on Saturday. This is the best Mexican food I've found in Seattle after having so many good options in CA. Tried 5 different tacos, nachos, carnitas combo, and asada fries. The tacos are small, but packed with meat. They are a little pricey at $2.50 each, but given there's not much quality competition around here, it's a fair price. The carnitas are maybe the best I've had. They had a combo of different cuts, including crispy skin, that melted together in your mouth. As a result, I came back for a carnitas combo the next day and it didn't disappoint. Nachos and asada fries are the same, but with a different base. Essentially they are loaded with melted cheese, carne asada, sour cream, guac, jalapenos, and tomatoes. I poured a little salsa on top and they were delicious. I think they fries were better, but next time I'll ask that they fry them a little longer to make them crispy. All in all, this place is awesome and you should check it out. read more

Got the carnitas enchiladas this time.....Holy moly. Probably my favorite carnival place in all of Seattle. A little fatty and so tender plus some crispy whisker bits. Usually I prefer steak but now I'm gonna have to consider carnitas from here. Can't wait to go back for more tacos and enchiladas. I'm so so happy to be close to a legit taco truck. Now please add some mole dishes and I will never visit another taco truck again!!! read more
TACO BUS. not taco truck. TACO BUS. if that doesn't get your attention, then just know that they have really delicious street tacos. The place is a converted bus with a kitchen at the back inside. Before you could go inside the bus, but these days your only option is to order at the window. They have way more than tacos (burritos, torta, quesadillas, plates with rice and beans, etc) but i've only ever been in the mood for tacos at night. They have a couple of covered picnic tables in front. TACO BUS! (they have a parking lot and they take credit card!) read more

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in Seattle. (To be fair, I haven't tried too many places because it's so disappointing as a Tex-pat.) Delicious and well-seasoned. No weird blandness or fusion elements. My veggie friend was happy with the her burrito but that is the only vegetarian option. I think she asked for vegetables and beans but I'm not sure. This place is so good, I wish I lived closer. The menu doesn't really have prices but everything is about $10. read more

I had pretty high expectations given the reviews, but it was okay. The tacos didn't come with a lot of cilantro and onion, it was pretty bare bone. The steak inside was good. I like how the tortilla held together and wasn't oily. Overall, it was okay. read more

I ordered a chicken Torta, and it actually wasn't bad, but halfway through I definitely tasted beef in my sandwich. I dug around a little and found pieces of beef mixed in with the chicken that weren't supposed to be there. I'm on a diet where the only meat I eat is fish and chicken so that was a little disappointing, not going to lie. Bread was a little soggy too (would recommend Tacos Chuki's tortas over these tbh). read more

This is a go to neighborhood spot for my gf and I. We honestly probably go once a week as the food is very affordable and very tasty. In my opinion their two best meats are the shredded beef and the carnitas. I love to get them in the form of mulitas or gorditas or I often get the carnitas platter where I just get lots of pork with some accoutrements. If you are in the Columbia City area you should definitely check out their great food! read more
I've been coming here for years, and honestly didn't know the name of this spot until pretty recently because it's always just been "the taco truck". AMBIANCE It's a literal bus that's been gutted out and turned into a cute little Mexican restaurant. I've honestly never ordered anything other than the tacos, but it all looks pretty solid. There's an outside seating area, but I usually just go with takeout. Not the prettiest place, but no one goes for the ambiance. FOOD This is where it shines. I get the tacos every single time, so I can only speak on that. I think their carnitas is the best in the city by far. They throw the pork onto the flat top right before so the outside crisps up, but retains a lot of the juice of a traditional carnitas taco. The chicken and beef are great too, but I usually just get those for variety reasons. The carnitas is honestly the way to go. There's a nice toppings bar inside with pickled onions, radish, salsas, etc. OVERALL Don't shy away because it might not be the prettiest place, this is the spot for tacos in Seattle. The carnitas are the game changer. Cash only so you know it's real. read more
