The veggie tacos were simple and absolutely delicious. Quick too! Would come again :)

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

Low quality ingredients. All our burritos had almost no beans in them, even the veggie burrito. They don't list any of the fillings on the menu -- I asked for carnitas which is pretty much standard fare at these taco trucks and they don't carry it so had to ask for what they DO have. Got asada which was really dry. Salsa was not very good - no flavor to it except for heat. It's not one star because it serviced as food. Will not be returning. read more

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 ‍) read more

Amazing tacos! My wife and I have been looking for some good tacos in the area and this place stumbled upon us. I would recommend their carnitas tacos. read more

This place has plummeted in quality and skyrocketed in price. Lots of way better options. It used to be exceptional and reasonably priced. Now it's neither. Such a bummer. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Always a go to taco spot when in mount baker /rainier area. They have a variety of options. I've had tacos , burritos , birria , carne asada plate. Everything has been good. Wait time isn't long but it can get very busy during lunch time work hours as a lot of trade jobs stop here. They do have table and chairs under a tent that you can sit. read more

This place is good. But not terribly vegetarian-friendly. Pretty authentic Mexican. We asked if they could make the food vegetarian. They made it with beans and rice, which I highly doubt didn't contain any caldo de pollo or lard. We went on a cold day. I do not recommend it, unless you're doing takeaway. It's a food truck and the canopy over the benches does not provide much protection. They should definitely invest in warmers. The service is solid though. The staff is courteous and helpful. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food is disgusting and over priced. I got birria tacos and all I taste is grease. Where's the guajillo? Where's the flavor? Then they wanna charge $5 for a coke. Well $20 later and I have enough grease on my plate to fry some chicken. Will not be coming back and I do not recommend. read more

Pretty good food, their veggie burrito was a bit bland but once dressed up with some salsa and hot sauce (and the pickled carrots and peppers) it was much better...felt like they needed some seasoning on the veggies or more salt in the rice or something. They're open late and convenient if you're traveling South out of Seattle, and the people were super friendly. If you're in a rush in the evening I'd recommend calling ahead to order if you can, to avoid the wait. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Top notch selection, great flavors, generous servings. It's like eating at your neighbor's or auntie's house. Highly recommend.

Ordered a few plates last night for dinner and will definitely be back soon! Our order came out quickly, and the prices can't be beat. Plus, the portion sizes are outrageous (in a good way)! We ordered two burrito plates and one burrito macho. The burritos are all very big and stuffed with meat - especially the burrito macho. The plates came with retried beans and rice. We could barely finish our food and it was the perfect way to end a stressful Monday. read more

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! 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

Ordered tacos, birria, esquite, pork plate All was super delish. Crispy and tender, portions were perfect. One of the best Mexican I've eaten. Too bad it's far from where I live. Pricing was reasonable. She charged me a burrito by accident which I wasn't even aware and was honest enough to give me a refund. 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

This place is consistently satisfying. It's priced super reasonably. This is a value stop for sure. The food is very fresh. They've never served me something that felt like it sat in a heatlap, or dry. The seasoning could be a little stronger. The meat is always well done, but that is the standard in Mexican food, so keep that in mind. read more

Quesa birria tacos are phenomenal, the carne asada is a bit dry though. But they give you plenty of sauce and lime to make up for that. Definitely going back to try other dishes but it couldn't get better than this already! 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

Was in the mood for a late-night snack, but this wasn't it. We ordered 2 lengua tacos, 2 al pastor tacos, and an al pastor torta... ...total cost was about $30. Found out after receiving our order, they do not have al pastor, but adobada instead. They are not the same and would have changed my meat preference if I knew prior. Basically didn't end up finishing the tacos nor the torta as they all didn't have that much meat - and was mostly bread/tortilla. read more

Had always wanted to try this place since I'd drive past it often, and finally did. I got the quesabirria and the food was pretty decent. Good consome, and I liked that the quesabirria had some fatty, hence tender, pieces of beef. It could've used much more cheese though, I barely noticed it in mine. read more

My favorite, close to me, taco truck. Really good tacos, burritos and flautas. Carnitas are very good and so is the carne asada. Their green salsa is the bomb. read more

I have ate here for literally 18 years now and it has been my favorite food in town since. I can handle the increased prices (tacos used to be $1.25 and tortas $4.50) because the food is so good. The problem is that new younger female employee messes up the order EVERY TIME. I can speak Spanish--it's not a language barrier. So sad and frustrating to see the best taco bus I've ever had go so far downhill just because someone can't properly take an order... read more

Stopped at the truck for lunch during work. I got the chicken tacos. They were nice and flavorful. I recommend adding the green sauce or something as whole the chicken itself is flavorful overall the taco is dry. 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

Got 4 tacos. 2 carne, 1 chorizo and 1 Lengua. The lengua was my favorite with the most flavor, carne was pretty good but the chorizo was dry. Over food was a 3.5/5. The service was great. They made our food so quick. 5/5 service. Ambiance is very interesting in the back of a bus but also can eat outside. Would recommend. 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
