As someone from Arizona who has been struggling to find Mexican food in Seattle that's up to par with the places back where I grew up, this is one of the best. The beans and rice are excellent, and I loved the spice in the tacos (I got carne asada, al pastor, and pollo). Definitely check them out!! read more

Taqueria La Original - a plate of mexican food - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We recently had Taqueria La Original cater a dinner we held for ~20 guests at our house, and they did an amazing job. We ordered a variety of tacos, rice, rice, beans, and guacamole, and it was all delicious. I really appreciated not having to worry about cooking, and it was fun to do something that wasn't just ordering pizza! read more

I moved from California about a year ago, so I was very upset that all the Mexican-style restaurants are not legit Mexican food. The bf and I saw this little taco truck near our apartment and decided to give it a try! We ordered 4 tacos each. We didn't know there was a taco plate (4 tacos + beans & rice) for the same price, and the owner let us know :)! I got 4 al pastor (my all time favorite type of meat!), and the bf got 2 al pastor and 2 carne asada. Each taco is $2, but they give you A LOT of meat. As for service, the owner was very nice! It also didn't take long for us to get our food. I personally think that they deserve more customers! If you are looking for authentic Mexican food unlike some places down the Junction, come check this place out! Also, I do enjoy supporting family owned businesses ;). read more

Taqueria La Original - Al pastor taco plate! comes with a lot of meat! - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Oh man, this place is dangerous! I finally ventured over to this food truck that I've passed by countless times over the past several months. After seeing the awesome Yelp! reviews I knew it was time to walk over and give it a shot. So glad I did. I ordered two tacos, a mulita, and a side of rice and beans. For the tacos I got one carne asada and one carnitas, and for the mulita I got the chorizo. Everything was amazing, but my favorite had to be the pastor taco. The meat was so juicy with a hint of sweetness. It was topped with your traditional cilantro and white onion, plus a bit of grilled pineapple. It was HEAVENLY. The carne asada taco was pretty good too. The mulita was fabulous: cheesy, a little smokey from the yummy chorizo, and everything was topped with a bit of avocado. I really liked the rice and beans as well... very flavorful. To top it all off, the service is fast and friendly, and everything is so affordable! The tacos were $2 each and the mulitas $2.50 each. I have a feeling I'll be coming here almost weekly for my Mexican fix! Highly recommend! read more

Taqueria La Original - a food truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Seattle, Washington

OMG, seriously, why are there not lines out this place? This is seriously the most AUTHENTIC Mexican food I've had in Seattle and one of the best tasting Mexican I've ever had in my entire life. I got some pork enchiladas and everything from the carnitas to the pico de gallo to the refried beans was PERFECT. The platter was $10 and I got two tamales for $2 each. $2 each!! That made me so happy because up until now, I thought the only tamales I could get were the shitty $5 tamales sold at those bougie farmer's markets which were wrapped in paper (not even corn husks). Compared to those rip off framer's markets, the prices here were reasonable, not expensive at all. Anyway, this taco truck is unassuming and frankly kind of shady, parked next to a closed run down looking produce market at night. There's a make shift tent with some tables set up next to the truck. The whole set up looks like a hole in the wall but you know these kind of places have the best food! The truck even has this neat little window built in on the side where you can help yourself to salsa, limes, sliced radishes, and jalapenos. Seriously, I ask again, why are there not lines up in this place? Perhaps it's because it's in the burbs. If this food truck was parked downtown, I think people would be beating each other down to line up and eat here. West Seattle is out of the way for me but I would come back here just for this amazing Mexican food. Make sure you bring cash, it's cash only! read more

Had a couple burritos here and really devoured them. So good! Lots of good meat and veggie choices. I'd like to try the mulitas next time I go. Parking wasn't a problem, as there is a big lot right next to a fun open market! read more

This place is pretty good! One of my favorite mexican food spot in Seattle! Good hours, super convenient

I have now tried their chorizo burrito. Honestly this has to be one of the best I've tried for $7. I'll put it this way: this food truck will end world hunger. This food truck would undoubtedly be accepted by both democrats and republicans. This food truck could run for office and win with grassroots support. If this food truck doesn't earn a Nobel Peace Prize for spearheading the demilitarization of all nations and bringing humanity to its next step in civilization, it would be as egregious as Kendrick Lamar losing to Macklemore for best rap album of the year in 2014. This food truck is worth all this text, so if you disagree, at least take my time and effort typing this as a truthful expression of my support of this establishment. Thank you kindly. read more

Boyfriend, daughter and I really enjoyed our food today. Tacos were delicious, so was the salsa that came along with it. We will be stopping by more often read more

Update: If you are upset because this taco truck is slightly more expensive than the truck in white center, (where the cost of living is lower) you're probably a bit racist. Expecting to always pay less for ethnic food is messed up. Would you say the same and compare Italian restaurants, too? This is a fantastic spot to pick up a quick bite! My partner and I call in an order several times a week, and it's become my favorite place to get dinner. I've had the enchiladas, tortas, and burritos, and they all are fantastic. Great portions and such a nice, family business vibe. Will continue to come regularly for the delicious, affordable meals and nice folks! read more

I saw the great reviews and had to try it out. I got 3 carne asada tacos and they were so good, the tortillas are awesome and the sauces are yummy. I am from San Diego and I have been missing my Mexican food here in Seattle and this place made me so happy :) The question is not if I'll be back, it's how long I can stay away read more

We will now be hunting this truck down when we're looking for tacos! We got a pork taco plate and a pastor taco plate and they were both perfection! The rice and beans were beautifully seasoned as well. read more

I've been obsessively looking for this truck since it closed it's West Seattle location and December and found it reopened in the past month or two. I drove out to Ballard on Monday to finally fulfill my craving and they did not disappoint, flavor wise. The only disappointing thing for me is that their prices have gone up, I used to spend about $25 on a meal for my boyfriend and I and now that same meal is $36. Won't stop me from continuing to frequent the truck but thought it was worth noting read more

Best tacos in Seattle!! Hands down, period. I'm from California and miss the awesome Mexican food; I finally found a place that can serve up some bomb tacos like the ones in Cali. read more

I've driven by this place so many times and yesterday finally decided to stop. The prices are a tad higher than some of the other taco trucks but given its location and their ingredients, it's worth it! Their burrito was a good size and delicious. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. read more

I have been searching for good Mexican food and have tried recommendations on other places in the area but these "others" don't stack up. This little joint is the real deal. Seriously! Some good food give it a try. Their tacos have a lot of flavor and their enchiladas were amazing. I'm picky about my rice and beans and these were good! Their salsas and service are seriously what keep me going back. They have always been really nice and pretty fast! read more

Stopped by for lunch. Grabbed a Asada torta. Meat and bread were so tender. Packed full of flavor in each savory bite. Meat was in nice small chunks filled the torta along with a tomato slice and a slice of jalepeno in each half. Made me wish I had bought a second torta. They tacos that I saw people eating looked so good. Perhaps next time. read more

Used to come by everyday for lunch. One of the better TacoTrucks around. Can't wait for the new location to be discovered.

This vendor was at Seattle Center for an event. We waited in line 20 minutes, got to the front, then they put up a sign saying they'd take orders in another 20. Stood waiting again, then they put up ANOTHER sign saying 25 minutes more wait just to take orders. Then once that additional time went, they put up a sign and said closed. Low class, like they didn't want other vendors to get the sales, but didn't disclose they were not taking orders either. I would never support a biz that has so little regard to ppl waiting over an hour when they had no intention of opening during a planned event in the first place. read more

Super delicious. I had carne asada tacos and split a carne asada quesadilla. It....was...awesome. the carne asada was perfect: tender and super flavorful. The red sauce...oh the things I'd do for more of that red sauce. Go. Go now. read more

Tacos were way too greasy and the tortillas were hard. The meat was a little salty and so was the salsa. Did not have a good experience.

Best tacos I have tried in Seattle so far, I have come back several times. The owner is always friendly and the tacos are always great, the sauce is spot on. They also have several items on the menu ( they don't only serve tacos), they serve full carne asada and shrimp dishes, tamales and some veggie options. read more

I really wish I could express how much I love this food truck, but it's difficult to put into words. The staff is wonderful, and every menu item I've tried has left me extremely satisfied. I highly encourage anybody to support this local business and I hope you can all get the chance to eat the divine culinary gift that is their food. read more

Amazing food for reasonable prices. The dude that runs it is super cool. Stop here for some damn good mexican food.

I live two blocks from this truck and I wanted it to be great... the reviews indicated it would be. Got the burrito plate for $8.00. A medium sized burrito with a pinkish sauce, dry rice and pretty much liquid refried beans. The burrito was gushy - had to pull it apart because it was elastic and wouldn't cut with a fork or knife. It tasted a little odd but the big drawback was the "beef" turned out to be ¾ very tough and ¼ inedible gristle. Drive on by. read more
