    We were driving up along Tukwila after work and craving for street tacos when we saw this Mexican…read morefood truck so we stopped by. We were not disappointed at all, we ordered the steak tacos and sure enough we wanted more! They give generous amount of meat. A must try, good location very close to Taco Time and Home Depot.

    It was one of the one days where I did not really know what I wanted for lunch. The place I…read moreoriginally was going to was closed so I headed back to work and the closest place to stop was Taco Time. I figured why not, because I really just wanted some Tater Tots. While pulling into the parking lot, I noticed the food truck and thought well why not. Anything is better than Taco Time. I ordered the taco plate (3 tacos with rice and beans) with carne asada. My food came out pretty fast. I was also served two salsas, pickled jalapenos & carrots and a mint. I went to my car and opened my to go container and was impressed just at first glance. I honestly wasn't sure what I was getting myself into but at first looks, I was pleasantly pleased. I took my food to work and ate my desk. My first bites were of the beans and rice and I had to take a minute and pause. I literally felt like I hit the jackpot. Those rice and beans were slamming and did not disappoint! The tacos were good too. The grilled onions were pefection and the salsas were deliciouso! My only critique is the carne asada was slightly on the salty side but still delicious. Honestly, I sat there thinking while eating my food - do I go back on my way and grab a plate for dinner. I will have to find them on IG so I can follow them and get their schedule. Definitely, will return and try more!

    Shrimp Po Mo'Fo! That's what I had for lunch today and it was amazing. First time here and had a…read moregreat lunch with a coworker. Asked for suggestions for a great local restaurant and this is what we were told to come visit. Very extensive menu and everything looks amazing. Nice little dine in spot with some outdoor seating as well. Today was the perfect day so we decided to dine outside. My friend had a salad and said it was spicy and delicious. I had an order of onion rings to accompany my sandwich and they were perfectly done. Our server was extremely attentive and super friendly. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for an out-of-the-way sandwich shop that really delivers.

    There's been food trucks lining up 9th Ave between Pike and Pine during PAX in recent years, and…read morethis food truck/location from Burien was one of the vendors here. On a Monday close to 12pm, I stopped by here to have some lunch since I was pretty dissatisfied with much closer food offerings that are inside the Arch building itself. For their food truck they have several kinds of sandwiches and two kinds of meat bowls. Only sandwiches come with a side of your choice: you can choose among sliced baked potatoes, chipotle mac salad or apple jalapeno slaw. Staff made my order within 5 or so minutes, and took orders from other patrons as they came to their window. I got their el duderino which has sliced chicken breast, grinded beef chorizo, provolone cheese, cilantro, avocado and chipotle all in a telera roll. Overall sandwich was good but the chicken breast was dry. The choizo made up for that with its spice and heat, something that the chipotle mac salad I got on the side also had. Pretty spicy order overall that kept me going throughout the rest of the convention, and now I need to give their physical location in Burien a try!

    My boyfriend and I decided to stop by here as they have an offer (through BECU's Equity in Action)…read morefor this month to try out some of their offerings. We arrived and saw that they have quite a large space so plenty of seating, lovely decor and just cozy vibes overall. However this is not your usual sit down restaurant as you go up to the cashier to place your order. They do have a menu that is shown on their screen or physical menus. I got their birria ramen, my boyfriend got their quesabirria, and we got two tacos. The cashier was polite and friendly with us and anyone else who came by. It seemed that the cashier and cook had to communicate a lot as she had to remind him that our order was for here. My boyfriend's quesabirrias did come in a take out container but everything else came in as a regular dine in order. The tacos was very filling and the meats (asada and adobaba) was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The birria ramen was okay but the broth was way too salty and the ramen was not cooked fully which was disappointing as it is instant ramen and that is pretty easy to cook. The quesabirrias was good and so was their rice and beans. They do have a self-serve water station. The bathrooms were clean and lovely. Music was played at a decent volume as we could have a conservative without issues. Additional you can leave your table without cleaning as the cashier will come and grab them when you leave. Overall we would love to try out this place again in the future! It seems they are a local favorite as they kept getting customers for dine in and take out throughout our time there.

    We ordered (2) Queso Birrieria plates, it came with 2 queso burrieria and consume. It was good and…read morefilling, but it was a bit pricey. The host/cashier/ waitress was very nice and friendly. We had a good experience just a tad more than we wanted to spend. It was New Year's Eve so it was a bit slow, but it wasn't busy or loud, and we enjoyed our food.
