50 Best Taco Restaurants in Seattle

“Had food from here around a year ago and loved it so I took my partner here recently. The tacos were excellent and my partner although a meat eater was very impressed but the rice and beans were lacking seasoning and were very bland compared to my last visit maybe they had a new person who just forgot the salt or spices? Still highly recommend tho some of the best plant based tacos I’ve ever had.“

“Carl was amazing!! go see him in Tacoma!“

“Super amazing find! We were visiting from Texas and were so pleased with the pollo tamales! I also got a strawberry watermelon Aguas frescas and it was amazing! Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful!“

“This has got to be the best street tacos in all of Seattle!“

“What a neighborhood gem! Having spent almost my entire life in Southern California, I'm very particular about Mexican food. After 6 years here, I'm happy to say I've finally found a spot that hits the (Mexican food) spot. Not only are the ingredients always fresh, but the portions are also large. The best part--they have lengua, and it isn't dry and bland, it's tender and flavorful! Yum.“

“Amazing breakfast & lunch. Perfect hidden gem.“

“Went for NBA game 7, great place to view. It’s pricey but the food was delicious, beer cold and servers all nice.“

“Food truck ftw! Anytime it’s outside of chucks, I go visit! My first time having fry bread since being in Arizona and it didn’t disappoint.

Off the rez burger is meaty and satisfying while having the perfect amt of sauce! Love the fry bread, amazing treat that satisfies the carb and sweet tooth! Forgot to take a pic because it was eaten so fast! Lol.“

“Bomb tacos and I love the burrito bowl. El Pastor is my fav.“

“One of the Best Taco trucks in South Seattle!

They even enlightened us on the deliciousness that happens when you put your Gansito in the fridge, its soo Yummy!“

“Malena's is my favorite taco in Seattle. The burritos are HUGE and the tacos (hard shell) are delicious. Guacamole is legit and i could eat their salsas with everything. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Rolled tacos as good as Olvera street in LA. Burritos put chain stores to shame. Such good food and freshly prepared to order.“

“Bomb tacos and I love the burrito bowl. El Pastor is my fav.“

“Food is super tasty, fresh , fast and satisfying. However, I have had issues with add ons. If I pay for an add on I expect to get enough. I've added avocado and litteraly got one slice. I've added sour cream and got less than teaspoon in a huge burrito. Other than that, I love this truck and will keep coming back because it is delicious and convenient! Just won't pay for add ons anymore.“

“Delicious food, friendly staff. Tamales are really good 😊.“

“We had an anniversary celebration here with family and got seated in the tent room-perfect since we met at camp and our first kiss was in a tipi. It was a vibe and so fun. Our waiter was very attentive and chatted it up with us. Apps and cocktails were delish and our entrees were good. Definitely order the S'mores-it just completes the whole experience.“

“This place has a special place in my heart. I've enjoyed the restaurant a few times on my own but me and my friend went in on the dia de los muertos parade event and it just felt *right*. Chips and queso is so good. The tacos are always good. Gotta say, the potato taco is my favorite. They also serve two soups and who doesn't love a warm cup of soup? It is a little pricey but it's worth the hype.“

“Such good stew!!!! I'm so happy with my dinner.“

“Flavorful, fast food in a vibrant, clean atmosphere. Fun energetic music. Friendly staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the burrito plate. Guacamole was creamy and the entree felt very fresh. You can stock your table with warmed tortilla chips and a salsa bar with vegetables and many salsas. Prices are reasonable with a portion I was able to split the meal and both leave satisfied!“

“Great taco truck, a wonderful option in the Wallingford neighborhood! Burritos are really good with a great selection of sauces that are included, not too big but a good size with a side of beans and rice like I got recently. Food was hot and fresh, will keep coming back for sure!“

“I had the veggie green wet burrito recently. The food was tasty and the service friendly. I wish the veggie burrito had fajita veggies or avocado or something apart from rice, beans and cheese. The cost was the same and the meat was just excluded. The habenero salsa that I tried with the burrito and the green sauce on the burrito were both delicious.“

“Ahhhhh! Where do I start? My husband told me that he wanted to take me out for date night yesterday. He ranted and raved about this Place "FIRE TACOS".. Nothing shy OF AMAZING! WILL BE BACK!“

“The best fresh and the flavor is super good delicious!!! Great service our family love them ���“

“I’ve never been super into vegetarian or vegan food options but this restaurant makes me rethink my approach. They have a creative menu and high quality food. Everything I try ends up being my new favorite.“

“We did the 4 PC chicken and small chicken strips and it was delicious. Great flavor of the potato salad and homemade tartar sauce was perfect. It was a lot of food and well worth the drive there from our house. staff was friendly. Smells wonderful inside. We'll be back again for sure.“

“I finally decided to give Sophie's Tacos a try and now I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

From the family cooking to the food, everything is perfect.

I had the taco plate with Carnitas. Served with Mexican Rice and Pinto Beans this plate was enough for two people (or one hungry person). The Chips and Salsa are handmade and have a lime and salt flavor. The salsa is delicious and a tad spicy. My wife had the Pollo Quesadilla and it was super flavorful as well. The Passionfruit Agua Fresca was so good and brought the meal together nicely.

Go grab yourself a great meal at Sophie's Tacos you won't regret it!

Parking: Parking is behind the building near the bike shop.“

“Fantastic street tacos today at SeaFair. Thank for the delicious food and for honoring first responders.“

“I ordered 2 tamales, one red one green, a mesquite, and chicken nachos. By far my favorite nachos, the chips are homemade and were fresh. The chicken had good flavor and seasonings. The tamales taste like the kind my Mom and Tias used to make and had good flavor. The mesquite was prepared very well, a good sized portion and again tasted authentic. I would recommend and can't wait to eat there again.“

“First time coming today on my lunch break and ordered the burrito and quesadilla food was amazing and nice portions plus they are very friendly definitely recommend“

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!“

“Food was delicious, service was great and atmosphere gets 3 stars cuz it was cold and wet out, but it's Seattle, so 🤷🏻.

My husband got a combination dish and I got Carne Asada Fries. We spent close to $40 I believe and it was worth every cent! After eating, I was actually full, which isn't a common thing for me usually.“
