The truck.  In all its glory next to a lingerie coffee stand, and a U-Haul center.
Chris O.

I ate here once last weekend, it's a taco truck, and had a carnitas burrito, which is one of my standards. It was... basic and good? The pork was good, sort of dry but tasty. The shell and rice were fine. The beans were refried which would not have been my first choice. The 2 included salsas (in tiny cups, there was not enough) were flavorful and mild. There were lime wedges available which was nice. So if you put a lot of sauce on the burrito it was good. The ingredients were not well-distributed, so I had a lot of all-pork bites and a lot of no-pork bites, which is a pet peeve of mine. If they could switch to whole beans and coax some more interesting flavors out of the burrito then they could really have something here. The lady working inside was nice and the prep time was about 5 minutes which was fine. There was some covered seating that I did not use. It was cold out so I went back to my car.

I'm in that Reton area fairly often, and I've always driven past. Decided to stop by today, and try it. Filling food. Great prices. It didn't hurt that the couple operating the truck gave really friendly service. They have a new customer.

Pork and chicken tacos! $1.50 each plus rice.

Never unhappy!! Best tacos around. I loved the chimichanga, rice, and horchata. I won't go to any other taco truck.

Beef tacos!!!!

Pretty good and tasty food truck. I ordered the tacos and a horchata to drink. Fast service and they accepted my Visa card.

They didn't accept a coupon that was clearly a valid coupon for their establishment. I ordered food anyway. The torta was small and soggy.

This spot feels like a family-run place with a lot of regulars, which always adds to the charm…read more It's definitely not fancy, but you know exactly what you're getting when you walk in--solid, authentic Mexican food in a casual setting. The service was great--everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The menu is pretty extensive, especially when it comes to tacos, so there are plenty of options to choose from. I tried the asada, carnitas, birria, and adobada tacos. All were decent, with the birria being my favorite. The other meats weren't bad by any means, but they were a bit on the drier side compared to some other taco spots I've been to. The rice and beans were pretty standard--exactly what you'd expect, nothing particularly standout. One thing I really liked, though, was the self-serve salsa bar. It's always a plus being able to customize your flavors. One thing to note is that you do need to bus your own table, but considering the price and portion sizes, it feels fair and worth it. Overall, a solid spot for a casual meal. I'll definitely be exploring more of this area of Renton--there seem to be a ton of authentic Mexican restaurants nearby. We went late at night, so options were a bit limited at the time, but this was a good find.

Some places skimp on the lengua because it's since become and expensive cut but not El kiosko. It's tender and delicious. They've moved their location to a much larger location since then and it's so nice. Well deserved. The parking lot is huge so don't worry about that. When we came in we were told to choose a seat wherever we'd like then promptly served chips and salsa. The salsa was so good. We got to try their taco Tuesday for the first time and the Al pastor was so flavorful and they make the carnitas super crispy. We were also surprised to see they now have a full bar. We ordered a cantarito and although yummy, I didn't think they put the right amount of alcohol for how massive the cup is but that's alright it was good nonetheless:) Salsa bar was nice and full both times we came to the new location and kept clean between uses. I can't wait to come back now that there is way more seating.

Do not buy the tamales unless you want to feel scammed. First of all there was barely any meat…read morefilling. It was enough for one bite. The meat was not seasoned well and was also very dry. The rest is all masa. The masa isn't even good. It was very dry and not moist like it's supposed to be. It has a weird sour tang to it as well. They also charged me almost $3 for a small thing of sour cream as well. Super disappointing.

AMAZING FIRST EXPERIENCE!!…read more Came here on a Saturday at 3:15 pm and it was EMPTY! Walked right on in and sat immediately. I'm sure the place is more lively with more etíope, but it was still pleasant to sit and eat with some background music playing. Food was absolutely delicious! It's a bit on the pricey side but you will definitely leave full and satisfied. I ordered the Pollito Pibil and my boyfriend ordered the Lechon Congri. We CLEARED our plates. We also ordered the Street Corn appetizer which was very tasty. Service was quick as well with be dry attentive staff. We were in and out in less than an hour. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

The jalapeno toast was the star of the show, great flavors and textures. The ceviche was solid with maybe a little too much tomato for my personal taste. The lechon came in a mountain of pork and rice, if I were to get it again I would probably ask to get the meat on the side since all the sauce/oil dripped down into the rice. In total we spent ~90 for 2 people Ambiance: The restaurant is a really beautiful space, we loved the lighting and decorations Service: Here is where there were a few things took a turn. Service is obviously very subjective, but I felt like our waitress could have been more welcoming and explained more since she did ask us if it was our first time there and we said yes it was. There were 4 sauces that came with our meal and she never explained to us what they were or even what we should be eating them with. She also never checked in on us and when we asked for some boxes and the bill she seemed pretty dismissive. Something more weird for us was when another staff member came with a big camera and light and started taking pictures of us mid meal. After a few minutes she came back with framed photos of us and offered them to us for $20 a picture. When we declined she seemed irritated we didn't want to pay for a service we didn't ask for.

There was a great selection of food, but the pozole was definitely a standout--absolutely amazing. The tamales were also really good and surprisingly moist, which can be hit or miss at buffets. They also have all-you-can-eat birria, which was a huge plus. I loved that they provide corn tortillas for the tacos, too. The service was another highlight. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and incredibly quick, which made the whole experience even better. Very cute mexican decor as well. Overall, this is a fantastic spot if you're looking for a filling and authentic Mexican lunch with plenty of variety. The food stays fresh, the selection is great, and the value is hard to beat.

She brings us the chips and salsa and left for a while. Then came back to took our order still didn't ask for a drink but we finally got water. We ordered queso and it came out quick. The queso tasted like it was sitting in the fridge for a long time then warmed up in the microwave. I ordered 2 tacos which were okay for just regular carnita tacos. My fiance had ordered the supreme burrito. Normally burritos are freshly made to order so we thought it would take some time for our food to be made. However, the food came 4 minutes later, quickest made burrito. The burrito was chewy and it was cold in the middle. It was also a pre made microwaved burrito. He couldn't finish it because it didn't want to get sick. The waitress only came twice to take the order and for payment. There's other Mexican restaurants around the area that you should go to.

This was our first time visiting, and wow it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious…read more Our favorite was the Shrimp (Langostinos a la Diabla). We added butter and garlic, and it honestly tasted like a seafood boil in the best way! The sauce was spicy, rich, and packed with flavor . The restaurant is located across from the Renton airport, so the area may seem a little sketchy at first, but we had no issues at all. There's parking available, and we were seated right away. The interior is beautiful, cozy, and perfect for date night, family dinners, or a night out with friends it really fits any vibe. And we have to shout out our waitress she was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed. Our food came out quickly, and everything was fresh and hot. We had such a great experience and will definitely be back. Don't let the negative reviews stop you this place deserves a chance! Fue nuestra primera vez viniendo y la verdad ¡nos encantó! No nos decepcionó para nada. La comida estuvo riquísima. Nuestro favorito fueron los Camarones (Langostinos a la Diabla). Les agregamos mantequilla y ajo y uff... sabían como a un seafood boil pero versión mexicana La salsa estaba picosita, bien sazonada y llena de sabor . Está enfrente del aeropuerto de Renton, y aunque el área puede verse medio sospechosa al principio, nosotros no tuvimos ningún problema. Hay estacionamiento y nos pasaron a sentar de inmediato. El lugar está muy bonito y acogedor, perfecto para una cita, ir con la familia o con amigos se presta para cualquier plan. Y nuestra mesera se merece una mención especial súper amable, atenta y siempre al pendiente. La comida salió rápido y todo llegó fresco y calientito. La verdad tuvimos una muy buena experiencia y claro que vamos a regresar. No se dejen llevar por las reseñas negativas este lugar sí vale la pena.
