“Taco time is so much better than the other guys in my opinion! I’m a picky vegetarian with GI issues and several sensitivities which limit my options for fast food (let alone just trying to find quality fast food). I almost never eat out — partly because I’m a picky eater, and partly because most places leave me feeling weighed down or give me stomach aches. But Taco Time has been such a pleasant surprise! The quality of the food is consistently fresh and flavorful, and I actually feel good after eating here. Even without a mock meat option yet (which I hope they’ll add in the future along with other veggie options), there are still plenty of vegetarian-friendly choices like crisp bean burritos, veggie tacos, bowls, and salads with fresh salsa and guacamole, etc. The portions are decent for the quality and price, and you really taste the difference in the ingredients compared to typical fast food. The staff here are always friendly and efficient — my order is ready quickly, and they get it right every time. For a quick-service healthy spot, Taco Time really stands out in terms of quality, freshness, and customer care. It’s one of the only fast food places I actually trust. Thanks for giving me a nice option when I don't have the time or energy to cook!”

“I’d like to point out that most of the people who left negative reviews had only one or two reviews on their profiles at the time they posted here, and their accounts had been created only recently. This looks either like a coordinated attempt by competitors to lower the rating of Sammamish Chipotle or some other kind of shady activity. As for me: I live nearby, and whenever I don’t feel like cooking at home, I head down to Chipotle. Their food has never disappointed me. I especially recommend their steak and other meat dishes. Excellent quality for the price! The food is always delicious and made with fresh ingredients.”

“El Maestro del Taco has truly spectacular food. The flavors remind me so much of meals I’ve had in Mexico, and the restaurant is often filled with members of the local Mexican community - which says a lot about how authentic and delicious it is. The carne asada burrito without beans is my absolute favorite, but I’ve also tried several tortas and sopas with different meats, and everything has been SO good. The staff are kind, and the whole place has a fun, lively, and interesting vibe. The only reasons I’m giving four stars instead of five are that parking is often challenging, seating is limited, and food can take quite a while when they get busy. Honestly, though, it is absolutely worth the wait. This place has incredible food!”

“Agave Mexican Restaurant in Issaquah truly stands out for its exceptional dining experience. The customer service is prompt and attentive, making you feel welcomed from the moment you enter. The authenticity of the Mexican cuisine is impressive; each dish bursts with flavor and is clearly made with fresh ingredients. From traditional tacos to flavorful enchiladas, every bite reflects the rich culinary heritage of Mexico. The drinks are equally noteworthy, featuring a diverse selection of tequila and vibrant cocktails that perfectly complement the food. All of this comes at reasonable prices, making it an excellent value for such high-quality dining. Overall, I would highly recommend Agave for anyone craving authentic Mexican food in a friendly atmosphere. It's a gem in Issaquah that you won’t want to miss!”

“We ordered a full taco bar with chips and salsa for a 100+ person FIFA World Cup watch party on the Microsoft campus for the Mexico vs. South Africa game, and it was a massive hit! Despite the large portions, the food completely vanished—everyone absolutely loved it. I also really appreciated the level of service provided by the owner, Cesar. He worked seamlessly with us to accommodate our shifting headcount and approved budget, making this a flawless and successful takeout catering experience. Highly recommend!”

“First our waitress was to much in a hurry taking our order. Then brings us wrong food. When food arrives we sit and have no utensils. Had to ask a whole different waiter for service. Forgot several items and had to wait longer. The food was not good , I took one taste and ended up going to the bathroom to throw up. Either they had a major change or just was a bad day. Cuz I remember having a good meal a few years back when they opened.”

This was the Mexican restaurant that taught me, many years ago, that I do love real Mexican food, Americano tacos no longer have a place in my life.”

“I have only been here two times as I moved to the area right before the government stole the freedom of Americans to move about freely... that being said, this visit - IN PERSON - was excellent! Matt, the bartender answered several questions and made a couple suggestions. I went with one of them (Carnitas and Scratch Margarita) and was pleasantly impressed with both! The crowd was fun, the staff was doing an excellent job (having been in the industry for 24 years myself) taking care of the business and caring for the clients. Thank you and I WILL be back again!”

“One of the best places you can go. The hours change because of it is not getting enough business on 8th they can't afford to have the second truck there. If you have never stopped by, I can assure you that the quality of the food, the customer service, it's truly the best around. And you get to support a local family operated business. My favorite is the the burrito. They are packed completely full and are so delicious. I live way up north now, but still come down an hour to eat here. It's my favorite. They are so friendly and fast and good at what they do.”
