    I can't say enough about the food at Fire Tacos. While I "always" order their award winning Chile…read moreVerde Wet Burrito, with Mango Cart beer, their whole menu is amazing. The chile verde pork is so good, my wife, who primarily orders vegetarian, goes for all their variations, quesadillas being her favorite. This weekend is Valentine's Day, and while I am not with my beloved, George and Erika shared a sample of their new menu items, chilaquiles (heart shaped for the holiday) - both chili verde and chipotle. The other item was a stack of tres leches pancakes, with fruit. While all were delicious, I liked the chipotle chilaquiles the best. Good enough to make me consider mixing up my wet burrito with salsa macha in the future. So, we just came back from Playa del Carmen Mexico, where we hoped to have some over the top Mexican food. While breakfast was great it wasn't enough to outshine Fire Tacos. A waiter at one restaurant summed it up well. Everyone in Mexico makes good food, but the best of the best succeed in the US. That is Fire Tacos. The best of the best. I rarely give 5 stars, but Fire Tacos e arnés every one!

    Food was amazing. We really enjoyed our tacos and nachos...the best tacos we ever had. We…read morefinished the nacho like in seconds LOL maybe we were hungry. It's so fresh and the flavoring and garnish is on point. Service was friendly and efficiency. As soon as the waiter turned away after he took our orders, the nachos showed up. The vibe is fun and loud like a usual Mexican bar/restaurant. It was a nice and warm day in Alki, an area always so crowded and can be overwhelming, on any nice warm sunny day. My daughter asked if we can try Fire Tacos because her bff said it was good. We showed up asking for a table of 4 and were told the wait is about 20 mins. We walked to Ben & Jerry next door and had a small ice cream, sat down and finished it, then got notification our table was ready. It earns a spot on my list to return, especially we live 5 mins away.

    My jaw would've dropped once I discovered how succulent their blackened chicken was, but I was too…read morebusy. Eatin' chicken! ...which is generally a lame thing to order out, but the rules don't apply to Jemil's. Though I've never been to Louisiana, I'm still a Southerner and would pick BBQ over Cajun any day as I've literally never enjoyed Cajun food. That all changed one fateful Tuesday when I poached some leftovers from a work lunch catered by your boy. All I could think was "WTF! How can chicken be so flavorful?". An thus began what has become an obsessive search for how--HOW?! to recreate this new, disturbing reality. And I haven't even gotten to the salad! What sorcery did Jemil pull for unassuming leaves and usually lame squash to get their act together and become something so tender and fresh I felt like a baby deer eating rose petals on the lawn of the Royal Family as they take their tea and cucumber sandwiches. Let's not forget the jambalaya, which managed to be juicy without a sign of mushiness and was actually spicy enough to excite my tastebuds - they were doing cartwheels. What in heavens? I'm just lost.

    5 stars aren't enough! We ordered Jemil's Big Easy for a Juneteenth celebration at our school…read more Firstly, they were super responsive and friendly. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs. We felt super spoiled. We had a wide variety of dishes and every single one was raved about! I personally loved the Cajun Mac n Cheese. They better keep that recipe a secret or something because its that good. I will definitely patronize this business with my family in the future!

    To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, we decided to try out this restaurant. I love Mexican food, but my wife…read more(from Indonesia) does not. She tried Taco Bell and refuses to try anything else. After many attempts I finally get her to try a Pork Quesadilla. She really liked it and I think we may have won her over a little bit. However, when we first arrived the hostess sat us at our booth and handed us two menus and left. I opened my menu and the inside was covered in salsa. I had to get up and find somebody to exchange it. With that taken care of, I ordered the Super Burrito Manadero. I got it with Chile Colorado Beef. To me the beef was a little dry, and it seemed like it was the beef that they may use for the shredded beef, they just didn't shred it. It fell apart in my mouth and tasted good, but was a bit dry. And they were cut in huge meatball size chunks, down to smaller bite sized chunks. I still enjoyed it, but the two previous Mexican restaurants that I got this at, just hit it out of the park with one place using filet mignon steak chunks, and the other using waygu beef. It's hard to compete with that (and they were only $2-3 more). For dessert I bought the fried ice cream. I LOVE Fried Ice Cream! This was pretty good, nice portion size, and they use a raspberry sauce on top of it. I've never seen that before. They didn't use corn flakes (my favorite) but it was nice. Overall, this is still a great place if you live nearby and love Mexican food and don't want to drive to Edmunds or Lynnwood. Definitely give them a shot.

    This place is a hit or miss but as usual they (ownership) would never understand selling food made…read moreit with can sauce is the most disgusting flavor, how hard it can be made a fresh sauce this place is killing their own business.
