Visiting CK's cousin in Seattle and she took us here. The line had about 6 people when we arrived. The menu is limited with some meat and vegetarian options, which I find to be a good thing because they know what they're good at. Small parking lot shared with Benjamin Moore Paint I think and a small coffee shop. There is some benches for seating and a couple picnic tables. I had two tacos (chicharron & encebollados) and found it filling where I didn't feel overstuffed. The tortilla's are like dinner size (not street taco size) and doubled up. The amount of protein they put into it is literally PERFECT. They don't overfill but it's definitely enough, and the way they place the portions, it doesn't overflow or spill out. Minimal mess to clean up afterwards. I thought the chicharron pork rinds would be crispy, but it wasn't as there was a chile sauce on top. I still enjoyed it and found it flavorful, even though the texture had changed. CK let me try the cochinita pibil and it was flavorful, and more of my preference. My favorite had to be the encebollados (steak w/ sauteed onions). Flavorful, sliced in good portions, and wasn't dry it at all since there was a good amount of sauce on there. Next time I'd love to try the Rajas (poblano peppers)! read more

Getting food from a food truck can really be hit or miss. Man, I'm so glad that we stopped here. These are not your usual Mexican street tacos but they were excellent. The staff were amazing and very helpful in explaining the menu. We especially loved the Encebollados. It was so juicy and flavorful. If you're in the area, this place is a must stop for great tacos. read more

Very good place to get tacos with friendly service! They have a unique menu that you can't find elsewhere, very interesting textures and taste. All the tacos were good and very filling, I could only really eat two tacos! I would recommend and would come back. read more

Extremely pleasant staff. Said it would be a 30 minute wait but was only 20. Two tortillas for each taco, which was good on the chicken and steak, but too much for the broccoli garlic and the zucchini corn. Our fav by far was the chicken. The steak was also pretty good. The regular salsa was mild, the spicy salsa was only a little spicy. I saw lots of veggie options so I thought I should try some. I think the broccoli and the zucchini corn would make great side dishes. I didn't think they stood up as taco fillings (too one note/not complex enough). Just seemed like some cooked veg on a tortilla. read more

Amazing tacos that hit the spot on our way to Snoqualmie Falls. I'm usually not one to order vegetarian tacos but the options looked so good. I got the Brussels Sprouts, Poblanos and Steak. Out of those three I would normally think that the steak would be the best but the poblanos was my favorite. read more

This is probably a hot take, but I think this place is overhyped. I'm not a vegetarian, so maybe this place is more worth it for vegetarian options but the meat tacos are just okay. We tried all 5 of their meat options and they weren't particularly impressive. Their style of taco isn't the most typical for street tacos and their tortillas are definitely a bit bigger. The toppings for each meat are also pre-determined and not the traditional onions and cilantro. I don't necessarily have an issue with a non-traditional taco, but I don't think their flavors are that good. They are also relatively pricey, over $5 per taco. Their tortillas are a bit bigger, so order 1-2 fewer tacos than you usually would. read more

Best vegetarian tacos I've ever had!!! My family loves this place! I've even come here for my birthday meal for two years now. We love the sauce and spice. The women here work hard! Wait time is long but well worth it. Your food will never ever be cold. My favorite tacos to get are the broccoli and tinga. My mom and brother are vegetarian and pescatarian so they enjoy the Papas y Rajas tacos. My brother asks for extra spicy. The taco truck is located in a parking lot with plenty of parking and near a coffee stand and brown bear car wash. Convenient location with outside table seating. I will definitely return and of course recommend. If you haven't been here yet...what are you doing with your life?! Best broccoli tacos I've ever had!!! read more

A great little food truck (a trailer actually) with parking and picnic tables. The tacos are tasty, though there is quite a bit of variation ... we like the encebollados (steak), the broccoli (yum), the cochinita bible (pork in adobe), and the bruselas (Brussels sprouts). Less tasty is the calabazas (zucchini & corn). Sitting under the trees while waiting for food is pleasant, or eating at one of their picnic tables under the pines. The people are friendly and helpful. This is a popular place, and it's not unusual to have a line (even if the ordering line is short, it can take a while to get your food -- but they'll tell you the wait time before you order, so it's easy to make a decision about whether it's worth the wait.) We like it. read more

When I heard this is the best taco in Washington I knew I had to try it. I came at 12:45 on a Saturday and there were plenty of free parking spots and a short line. Within 15 min I was able to place my order, and was told it would take 25-30 min. I was asked if I wanted them "extra spicy" so I said sure. They did give me an order number which I (and everyone who ordered before and after me) immediately forgot, but the woman who took our orders helped us out. I went and got gas nearby and sat on one of their many benches while waiting until I received my hot tacos. The "extra spicy" seems to be an additional layer of hot sauce which added some flavor, which was definitely a good touch. The papas (potatoes) taco was delicious. Potatoes were nice and crisp and the cheese was great. The tinga (chicken) was really tender, great flavor, and maybe didn't need the hot sauce but definitely added some additional heat! Definitely good tacos, two were definitely enough for me, but I'd love to come back and try some of their other fillings! read more

Wow SO GOOOD!! Amazing vegetarian options too! Delicious! "Both their meat and vegetarian options are incredible"-my partner.

The reviews don't lie, these tacos are some of the best- if not the best- tacos I've had in WA. I loved the chicken taco, steak taco, papas. Brussels sprouts taco was good but probably wouldn't get that one again. The chicken one had the most juicy flavor! Does take a minute to get your food but it's worth it. Some tables around outside. Typically a longer line. Parking is limited. Salsa is good. They could use some more pickled veggies ;) Definitely will be back. read more

Amazing food. Amazing food. 5 stars. Don't miss out on this place. Great place for lunch.

Good, modern tacos served in a food truck off of Gilman in Issaquah. When I went, it was on a Wednesday and it is an observed holiday, but they were open, so it looks like it is as crowded as a Saturday. I went around 12:15pm and it took about 5 min to order but another 30 minutes exact to get the order, so be prepared to wait. Tacos were above average but a lot of the experience went down because they used to do the combo to try more variety but now they only offer large tacos, so you are forced to only be able to get 2-3 kinds and be full and have to come back, a luxury that a lot don't have. I got the cochinita pibil and encebollados from the meat options, and the bruselas from the vegetarian options. By doing so, I make do with the variety on hand and get to try how they do the meat and vegetarian options. The tacos come with various toppings, like pickled onions from the cochinita pibil and feta from bruselas (brussels sprouts). I liked the brussels sprouts and encebollados the most, as the cochinita pibil was a bit on the salty side. I'd say this is a good spot, but it is overhyped so don't bother going for lunch but rather at an off time. read more

Decent taste, poor value. These are tiny , waaaay overpriced tacos. The pepper one tasted great. The brussel sprout one was just meh. You will NOT be anywhere near full even after spending $15+ for 3 small tortillas with a spoonful of filling. read more

Xochi - Tinga taco and steak taco as well. Delicious! - Food Trucks Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

Such fantastic tacos. They used to have these smaller tacos and now it's just one larger size, so you can't eat as many different tacos. It's hard to choose over the veggie ones and the meat tacos. There were probably 20 people there and it was about a 20 min wait for the chow. You can kind of tell you're in for a treat given the line so plenty of time to weigh your options. You can get extra spicy, recommend. The tortillas were very good. I had a conchinita pibil and a calabezas. Nice way to spend a sunny afternoon. read more

Superior lunch noshes. Usually busy, so prepare to wait for good things. Not the cheapest food truck, so if price is your issue this ain't for you. read more

Wow, of the ~20 places I have had tacos at in the Seattle area, this is the third place I'm excited to return to! I loved the two I tried - the tinga (chicken with chipotle sauce, feta, and sour cream) and the cochinita pibl (pork in a chipotle sauce). Each taco was $5 and while they are small, I doubt that J could finish 3 tacos for one meal. I can't wait to come back and try their other tacos! read more

It's a food truck with limited hours and good food. They have couple of benches to sit down and enjoy your meal. They have couple of vegetarian options which you hardly find. I tried 3 vegetarian options- Poblano peppers, Broccoli and Brussels sprouts. I would not say that they were the best tacos I have had BUT the best around this area for sure! Also, I have not seen so many vegetarian options anywhere else. Be careful with their hot sauce-you just need a little. Looking forward to trying other options next time! read more

Saw this place was recommended by Kenji, so we just had to stop by while in the area. $5.48 per taco is a bit steep, but at least they aren't tiny and they do double tortilla.The flavors were great and the tacos were piping hot! We tried the tinga, cochinita pibil, and chicharrón. Tinga was good but the cochinita and chicharrón were even better! Friendly cashier and cute location! Would love to come back again and try the other tacos. read more

Friendly service with good tacos that are fresh and hot. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality is decent.

Amazing. It's the perfect mix between street tacos and restaurant versions in that they are flavorful without trying too hard to be a "fancy taco." I got three tacos which I recommend as a portion size unless you're particularly hungry. These tacos are full! I got the cochinita pibil, encebollados, and rajas which were all delicious. The meat ones are juicy and have the perfect balance of flavors from the pickles or onions, while the vegetarian option I got (rajas) had plenty of kick from the smokiness and sauce. The wait can be kind of long but it means your tacos are made fresh to order and come out piping hot. They have a few tables you can eat at but there's always an option to eat in your car since you'll be parked super close. read more

I was looking through Yelp for somewhere fast to eat in Issaquah and stumbled upon Xochi. It has pretty great reviews and for good reason. Xochi is located in a little parking lot shared with another little cafe cart that sells coffee and baked goods. When I stopped by on a random afternoon for lunch, there was a huge crowd of customers gathered around the Xochi cart. The lady working the register was super smiley and friendly. It was obvious she loves working here and it motivated me to buy more so great job to her. I decided on 4 tacos: the one with peppers, the one with Brussels sprouts, pork with pickled red onions and the beef. Of all 4, I liked the pepper one the most. They were all delicious, but I'd go back for the pepper one for sure. And I got that one thinking I wouldn't like it. Strange. The tacos were served hot after about a 15 minute wait. The fresh cheese and different robust flavors of the tacos really paired well and I found myself enjoying every bite. There was a lot of filling in each one too, because I was skeptical of the price when I was ordering and then understood why they were so expensive once I started eating. These tacos are filling and in the future, if I came for lunch, really 3 tacos is my max. read more

Xochi is a food truck located in a small parking lot in Issaquah. I've heard high marks about this place and I've been trying to find my Seattle taco spot so I wanted to try it out for lunch. Unfortunately they no longer have the taco combo where you can buy five smaller tacos, but I still wanted to sample as many as possible. Their single tacos are $4.98 each and are bigger than the size of the taco combo ones, and I ended up trying all five of the meat options. TINGA - I thought this was just okay. It was juicy but not super flavorful. 3/5 ENCEBOLLADOS - This was very flavorful and had a nice char to it. There was no sauce but it didn't need it. 5/5 CHICHARRÓN - This was pretty interesting; chicharrón is normally crunchy but it had a weird texture now that it was soft. It was spicy and had good flavor but the texture was a bit off for me. 3.5/5 COCHINITA PIBIL - This was a simpler taco and I liked the pickled red onions but it was just okay. 3.5/5 CHORIZO - There was good flavor in this taco and I liked the addition of the potato. This one was good. 4/5 Of all the ones I tried my favorites were the encebollados and the chorizo. Some of them had really good flavors which even made me intrigued by their veggie tacos. The larger-sized tacos made up for the $5 cost and these were pretty good. read more

Since moving to Seattle I've been on the hunt for chicharron tacos. The soft melt in your mouth kind. Well Yelp Washington posted a video about Xochi and so when i went to their page the first post was one of the chicharron tacos i was looking for!! So I shared with hubby and we went immediately. OHMYGAWD. Why are y'all gate keeping Xochi? I mean I get it. The tacos are everything. Made fresh to order and expect a wait. Ours was 30 minutes but luckily I read some reviews on Yelp and was prepared for said wait. It was the perfect day on our visit so we are able to sit with some sun and shade in the picnic area next to the truck. I was told that they had combination plate with 5 tacos for $15.00 but on our visit today they did not. Only single tacos for $4.95 each. To note, when I asked about the combination plate the young lady said that 3 single tacos would equal the same amount of food for five smaller tacos on the combination plate and be the same price. So me and my man went with 4 each. Between us we had chicharron x 5, encebollados x 2, and one cochinta pibil. The young lady asked if we knew what the chicharron tacos were. I said yes, I saw the photo on their IG page. And she said a lot of people think they are crunchy and hard. I said oh no, we know. We've been on the hunt for these since we moved out here. Anyways, let me stop rambling. Every taco was made with love. You can taste it. My man wanted to order more but the wait time deterred him. However, now that we know - we will be back! read more

The tacos were delicious and filling. read more

These are solid tacos! $5/taco. We tried all the meat ones and then Rajas for veggie. They're all good, but the ones I would get again are: pork grinds, steak, and pork (in order of preference). The flavors in each were amazinggg! The least flavorful was the chicken. My husband really enjoyed the Rajas, but hard for me to compare with the meat ones. I would try another veggie one next time + repeat the 3 meat tacos I liked. There are a few picnic tables that you can utilize. Saturday 12:30pm - 40 min wait for 6 tacos. I'd come back but need to find a better strategy around the wait time. Plan your visit accordingly! read more

THE BEST TACOS!! EVER!! I made a quick trip to Issaquah and did not have time for a sit down restaurant. Saw this place, food looked good and it was a food truck so I thought perfect! Quick in and out! Anyhow, Great service, nice place out back to sit, relax and enjoy the food and the tacos. Everyone loves Taco's, but these take it to another level. The flavors are awesome, I tried four including one veggie and everything was world class, plus, they had a nice bit of heat to them too! Seriously though, there are a few restaurants that I have come across in my time that I long to go back to, Red Bar in Grayson Beach, etc and this place is not on my list of top 10 restaurants; yep they are that good! Give it a whirl, I can almost guarantee you will not be disappointed. read more

I just came here for my third time and it was even better. They do yummy and unique street tacos very well. I got the chicken Tinga and the chorizo/potato street tacos. My order came out pretty quick. I was there around 12:30 on Thursday. But right after I ordered there was a line up of about 8 people. The gal that took my order gave good recommendations but I think everything is good. Note that this is a food truck experience but it's a truck that isn't going anywhere I don't think it has wheels . 2 tacos are perfect for a avg person. They have about 3 outdoor tables and benches to sit on so you can eat there on a nice day. Sorry I forgot to take photos of my food. I was pretty hungry. read more

The best tacos in Issaquah and quite possibly the Eastside. I've been eating tacos at Xochi for several years now and I'm so happy this little taco stand finally got the notoriety it deserves. The tacos are not your ordinary street tacos. Each one is unique and to be honest, the veggie tacos might be better than the meat tacos. Coming from a Tyrannosaurus Rex like myself, that's a big statement coming from me. I always like to order the Combo Tacos, which allows me to choose 5 tacos to try. My top 4 have to be the Rajas (Poblano Peppers), Chicharron, Cochinita Pibil (Pork), and the Bruselas (Brussel Sprouts with carrots and garlic). Each taco has such a unique bite. I don't know how many times I've ordered the Combo Tacos, but once in a while, I'll order the regular size tacos. When that's the case, 3 is more than enough. I just love going to Xochi for a lunch break. If you're in Issaquah, this is one of the spots to grab a bite. The people in the food stand are super nice. I will never say no to these tacos. read more

these are by far the best tacos in issaquah and probably on the east side, WORTH THE TRIP. we get a combination of vegetarian and meat tacos and haven't found a bad one yet, but the tinga, papas and brocoli tocos are always safe bets. Ask for extra spicy if you can handle it! Aside from the food, the people working there are always friendly and if you go enough they remember you. the last time I went I forgot something about my wife's order and THEY REMEMBERED IT FOR ME!!! incredible people, incredible food. There's limited bench seating, but that shouldn't dissuade you, there's a bunch of nearby awesome parks to sit and eat at in issaquah read more

This food truck installation is amazingly good. I'm from southern CA and lived in Southern Mexico for a while and these are very good tacos.

Service is fast (~5min). read more

Xochi - Xochi restaurant/truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

I had heard about this place from a friend and decided to try it out when I was in the area. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and there was no one waiting outside the truck, the window was closed, and I wondered if they were even open. They were, and despite looking like no one was around, they told me the wait would be an hour. We weren't starving so we decided to go for it, and ordered a mix of veggie and meat tacos to try. We left, came back about 45 minutes later, just as our number was called. The tacos were so hot and fresh, and each was flavorful and delicious. They weren't super large, so one hungry person could probably eat five, but we split. I definitely want to come back and try more tacos, but would call ahead next time and plan better. The one thing preventing me from giving it five stars was that there's no follow up system regarding your order status (like a text message). It just seems old-fashioned to have to hang out by the truck and wait to hear your number called. But otherwise - delicious food and decent pricing! read more

What can I say about Xochi that hasn't already been said. It's better than restaurant quality food coming out of a trailer.

The pork anchiote belongs on that list too. So glad I have this close by to work! read more
