Centro Neighborhood Kitchen

Six of us for dinner at 6:30.
All of us raved about our choices and left our plates clean. They make tasty cocktails and offer them all as virgin with interesting ingredients.

Prices seemed to match portions, but all restaurant visits are expensive. Our friend picked up the tab, so I didn't even see it. Our server was superb.

I highly suggest, as this is NOT throwing money at mediocrity. Delicious.

A quaint and cultured set-up snuggled between small shops and eateries, this café offers great homemade chips & salsa (that has to be ordered as an appetizer), fresh tortillas used in their dishes and some pretty great tacos. I gave a four on the food only because I thought maybe chips and salsa would at least be free for the first batch. Or come with your meal or something cheesy like that. This might just be the practical person in me; though. Our order consisted of the following tacos: Grilled Lime-Cilantro, Rajas Con Queso, Fish and Carnitas (see picture for description of tacos). The sever was quite attentive and although seating was limited, she never pressured us to leave or rushed us at all. The drinks of course were delicious as well.

This has become a favorite of mine in Burien! The food is delicious and I walk away feeling like I had a good fresh meal that doesn't weigh me down. Staff is so friendly! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Nice little Mexican fusion restaurant in the heart of DT Burien. Smaller restaurant with outdoor seating available. The menu is smaller than most authentic Mexican restaurants that you’ve probably experienced, but that could be a good thing if the options are done right. I was taken back a bit by the price of a single street taco at $7–10. So I opted for their burrito. Decent sized burrito but found it to be mainly rice in a four tortilla. The chips and salsa flight was pretty good and the queso type dip was the best of the three salsas. But I’d still prefer going into a Mexican restaurant and get endless fresh chips and one really good salsa. My wife got the enchiladas and said they were tasty.

On food alone, we thought it was tasty but not something that made us say we’d be back. The presentation was nice, the restaurant itself is clean and nice. Wife and I agreed that this would be a great first date place where you want Mexican, but don’t want to eat a large portion and have food coma. 2 enchiladas, burrito and chips and salsa was little bit over $50. Most likely would pick any of the other nearby Mexican options for food, but this place is a good option for a date.

What a fun place to grab a meal on a Monday night. It was busy, the drinks were delicious (I had a Blood Orange), the Centro bowl was good, the churros with the butter were dreamy, and the service was great.

Our family loves Centro! Whether we're dining in or grabbing dinner to go for a picnic in the summer, we find ourselves headed towards Centro almost weekly - it's just so so good, every time! Brussel sprouts? Burritos? Centro bowl? Churros? Dip flight? Salsa flight? Blood orange margarita? Fish tacos? Cauliflower nachos? Barbadilla? Yes please, one of each!

Wanted to update my review 'cause whatever was going on seems to have been resolved. I have had almost everything on the menu, and the staff are always really cool and no-nonsense. Food is great, lots of vegan options!

This place is legit delicious… I live in Seattle and found myself at this place while randomly in Burien one day. Not to sound like a Seattle snob but I didn’t have high expectations… boy was I wrong. The quality of the food was remarkable. I don’t know what they’re doing, but I feel like this place could go toe-to-toe with any snooty Seattle
Mexican restaurant, any day.

Their chips are remarkable.

Horrible hostess and insanely bad service, they have outdoor seating out in the open and still could not sit and eat there because I had my small emotional support dog. They said it was technically not really outside since they have a cover on the sides to protect against the wind. Sounds like they don’t need paying customers to patronize their establishment.

Bomb Ass Fresh & Flavorful Food w/ a great selection of adult and kid drink options. Family of (4) w/ one picky eater left full & satisfied. Pricy for Mexican food but worth the money. Definitely recommend.
