The portions are hefty, the prices are incredibly reasonable, the service is super fast, its open late, AND best of all, everything I've had (the carne asada & al pastor in particular) tastes so much better and more authentic than anything else we have in the city. If you're having trouble finding it, it's a tarp stand tent on Rainier adjacent to Buddha Brothers. Parking is limited, and the area can be a tad rough later in the day, but it's still most definitely worth a visit.

Meat lover (myself) approved! I had 3 beef tacos with extra…read morefresh jalapeños, and you can see that the tacos were loaded. By the end I couldn't even eat them with my hands because they were so overloaded with meat. Truly worth the price. The only thing I can pick on was that the beef was slightly overcooked, so the texture was kinda dry. We placed our order by scanning the QR code, and it took about 10 to 12 minutes to get our food, which was a pretty decent waiting time. My vegetarian partner had the burrito, and it was HUGE.

I'm from California (where you can find good taco trucks on every corner), and was also spoiled by…read moremy Sinaloa grandma's cooking growing up, so I admit that my standards are high. But this place was not good. I ordered 1 veggie taco and 1 veggie tamale. My partner ordered a chicken burrito. We also got a side order of chips & churros. The veggies in the taco were super soggy and bland. The corn tortillas were soggy, floppy, and seemed hardly cooked. The pico de gallo did not have good flavor. The tamale was wrapped in a banana leaf, and the tamale itself was also soggy and bland. It had a weird "vegetable soup" taste and was frankly inedible. My partner said the burrito was fine but not something he enjoyed or would crave. The churros were dry, stale, and also inedible. The chips were fine, but we only liked 1 of the 4 salsas we tried. Service was friendly, but we paid almost $40 for mostly inedible food.

My office building uses Lish catering to provide pop-ups in the lobby every weekday of different…read moreeateries from around the Seattle area. Our office gets a list of the weekly offerings on Monday, so when I heard that later in the week there would be Salu-Salo Filipino Kitchen, bringing Filipino food, I most definitely made lunch plans. I was coming in from a meeting in Fremont, so didn't go to the pop-up/Salu-Salo Filipino Kitchen as soon as it started service (around 11am). With that said, I nearly missed out on the chicken adobo! I took the last of the chicken adobo an hour and a half after the lunch service started, so was counting my blessings! I ordered the lunch plate, which came with chicken adobo, pancit, rice and pickled veggies. My lunch plate was solid. Chicken adobo was tender and really, really liked how vinegar-y the flavor was, which, any Filipino would tell you that all food tastes better with vinegar! Pancit wasn't bad, but not the best. Some of the noodles were on the dry side, but I did like the cabbage and green onion throughout. Pickled veggies were a nice addition, adding more sour flavor to the overall entree. For someone who hardly ever has Filipino food and desperately misses mom's cooking, I was just happy to have Salu-Salo bring some adobo to the area. I would definitely recommend checking out Salu-Salo if you ever see their stand around. They don't update their social media channels, unfortunately, so is a little difficult to find where their stand will be. And when I asked if they participate in any markets, they do not. But the owners did mention that they visit downtown Seattle often at other office buildings around. Therefore, I have a feeling I'll be seeing them soon and getting my Filipino cuisine on. (Plus, bonus points for the owner being from the Bicol region of the Philippines, which is where my mom's side is from. Love that!)

Salu-Salo put Fillipino food on the map for me, and thank god for that…read more I do not know why it has taken so long for this cuisine to become popular in the U.S. because frankly, its freaking delicious! Salu-Salo offers a wide variety of dishes with unique flavor profiles. With some of the dishes, I can't compare them to anything I have ever tried before. For example, my favorite dish on the menu is the Laing Express, which is made with coconut milk, taro leaves, topped with a delicious crispy piece of pork belly. With a topping of pork belly, how could anything go wrong? This dish has an amazing earthy flavor, with a bit of a kick to it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. How often to you get to eat purple desserts? Ube cake gets its color from purple yams! Salu-Salo's ube coconut topped ube cheesecake balls are not just adorable, they are addicting. Not overwhelmingly sweet, and perfect for sharing, these are a treat. For those with dietary restrictions, Salu-Salo is a great option because there are plenty choices. As someone who is gluten free, all of the main dishes are fair game. This is often very rare when dining out for me!! Here's to Salu-Salo for exposing Seattleites to what Filipino food is all about. Rosario's cuisine feels like a healthy take on comfort food. Each dish bursting with flavor, yet still accessible to all ages. The idea behind comfort food is all about the thought that goes into the prep. After tasting Salu-Salo's food, I promise you can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation of each dish. I am looking forward to this becoming a Seattle institution, and hope it inspires more Filipino cuisine to start popping up in the PNW.

Your heart appears to speed up and slow down at the same time. Dang...life is good. Life is worth living.

Several different options with hotdogs and polish sausage- my absolute favorites are the Seattle Dog and the Midnight Sophie. Whichever you choose- don't forget to ask for some of their homemade slaw to top that beautiful dog! I first found Secret Sausage outside the Owl and Thistle in Pioneer Square. Then outside the Clink after a game. It was an elusive Seattle street food treat- and in a lot of ways still is. They've expanded in recent years so sometimes you can find them at Microsoft campuses on occasion too. But I'll let you in on a little secret... they have a deal with the Thunderbird Tavern in Ballard. So if you're craving a Seattle Dog on a random Tuesday at 8:30pm for example... high tail it to the Thunderbird and get you one! Especially on a warm Summer evening: a Seattle dog with extra slaw, a glass of your favorite cold drink and a spot on the back patio - doesn't that sound so good right now?! Another favorite with Secret Sausage is The Firlander Sauce. While I personally am not a big fan of hot sauce, this spicy condiment has been a staple in our family for several years now. I've been told it makes a good gourmet hotdog over-the-top good! Ha! So if you're a hot sauce fan- it's a must try. Locally owned small business with a commitment to quality. Every hotdog I've ever had from them (ahem, and there have been a few over the years,) has been consistently good. Seriously, the best!

And in a cup so I won't ruin my outfit, only speaking by experience. Though I do prefer corn on the cob normally, I believe they use canned corn for the cup version. But with all the ingredients in a cup it's all good to me. Service is always friendly, and it is worth the wait if they have a line or lots of orders. Supporting this business makes me happiest most that I help to support my community.

Perfectly sweet and golden mango coated in chamoy and tajin. My current favorite treat for a hot day. It was a one-man operation when I visited so the wait was about 10 min for 3 items. It's parked off the side of the road next to a Mexican food truck. Street parking is available.

The dhokla was just OK, it could've been a little bit sweeter and a little bit spongier. Also for eight dollars it's only four pieces. Service: The young man who was serving the food was very friendly and gave us our food quickly. Ambience: This is a small tea and snack shop by Pike market. It's definitely worth a try.
