Reviews
The restaurant is located inside of a larger complex on the second floor. It was really busy when we went so it was difficult to find seating.
Definitely worth a visit, and highly recommend the adobada!
I also tried their Jamaica, which was extremely sweet. I had to dilute it with water to make it more drinkable.
On the plus side, the service was solid, and the staff was friendly and attentive.
Nothing whets the appetite like climbing pee-scented stairs into a building that looks like it hasn’t met a mop since the dawn of time.
The food itself was aggressively mid, but the real flavor came from the open-kitchen experience I did not consent to. Watching the cook blow his nose and casually wipe it on his shirt—no mask, no shame—really added a bold, mucus-forward note to the atmosphere.
Nothing pairs quite like tacos and the lingering thought of “Should I call my doctor or just pray?” The vibe was less street food and more street immunity challenge. I kept waiting for handwashing to make a cameo, but it never showed up.
Seattle has too many amazing taco spots for me to play roulette with my digestive system. If you enjoy your meals served with a side of second-guessing your life choices, this might be your place. I, however, will be taking my business—and my appetite—literally anywhere else.
Would not recommend.
It’s not super easy to find – it’s inside a building, and you have to walk up a set of stairs to find it on the second floor. I was surprised how many people were inside considering the entire rest of the building was empty
After trying this, these are the best tacos I’ve had in Seattle
I got 3 things – one Adobada taco, one ‘Tacos Chukis’ taco, and one Adobada Mulita. All were made with the same type of marinated (adobada) pork
I have to start with said pork – because it was unbelievably good. The flavor was astonishing – the fat, the slight level of spice, the marination, and the juiciness combined to create something that was incredible. Each taco or mulita was overflowing with pieces of pork, and it was truly a joy to bite into every single time. You can tell just by the color on the outside how flavorful this is.
The pineapple was a fantastic touch on the tacos – not something that I often see. It provided a sweetness and that extra juiciness that I did not expect.
The rest of the toppings were also all phenomenal. They did not go light on the guacamole, and it was really good, especially mixed with the slightly spicy salsa present. The cilantro added a freshness that was refreshing.
The tortillas were also really good on everything. The tacos came wrapped in two corn tortillas, and they were softer than the mulita, which appeared to be between two slightly grilled ones. I appreciate the detail in recognizing the different purposes of the tortillas in each dish and adjusting the cooking process in commensurate with it
While the adobada taco was good, my favorites were the latter two, especially the mulita, because of the added cheese. It’s kind of unfair when one has cheese and one doesn’t – but both the Tacos Chukis taco and Adobada mulita were mouth-wateringly delicious. I can’t express how well the cheese was melted – enough that it would form slight clumps and resist being broken away slightly but once it’s in your mouth it just melts away and adds so much flavor.
For the price, this is an incredible deal. First of all, I appreciate the freedom to order individually, so you can choose exactly how much you want to eat depending on if you’re feeling hungry or not. For me – 3 was enough to feel good without feeling too full. Each item is priced quite reasonably as well.
I’m very excited for my next time here to try the quesadillas & burritos – but I can say the tacos & mulitas were all-time good.
Overall, a wonderful experience that beats any high-end Mexican food in the city. 9.5/10
