Don’t let the older building stop you from trying this place. We are in town for Sakuracon and were hungry. We saw the reviews for this place and the pictures looked appetizing so we stopped in. All three of us got the #1 which is 4 tacos, you can have any one of the many choices of proteins from cabeza to Canitas they had many choices. I went with the Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Cabeza, and Birria. All 4 were absolutely delicious! That had a little salsa bar with radishes and other things there to dress up your tacos and a chip warmer so you could grab your own tortilla chips to go with your meal.Sure, the building is older, but the food and staff was amazing!
Came for a quick bite before work and the tacos de asada are delicious, Ill be coming back for sure. Los tacos de asada estaban tan buenos.

I used to hate commuting to work everyday of the week, now I wake up excited for Taco Tuesdays at this place. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, the location is perfect for me to walk to in under 10 minutes, and the food is so good it deserves a chef's kiss. I've tried every type of taco they make and the cabeza or carnitas are my favorite. These guys will have my business so long as I live near i5.Thank you for making the best food I've had this year!

They were supposed to open at 10 am and I placed an online order shortly after 10 am, including payment. I arrived at 10:30 and all the doors were locked and the lights were off. I called and someone answered the phone and said it would 20 more minutes. This was for two breakfast burritos. When I tried to cancel the order, the person hung up and would not answer the phone again. Once they finally opened the doors at 10:55, they would not refund my order. It took one hour and twenty minutes for two breakfast burritos. And, they were HORRIBLE. Rude, deceptive people and terrible food.

Their hours were listed as starting at 10 am on a Sunday and they have an online ordering system that becomes active at 10 am. I placed an order shortly after 10 am (including payment and tip) and received a receipt that said the order would be ready in 25-30 minutes. The order was two breakfast burritos. Other places in the area can get an order like this done in 10-15 minutes, so I thought 25-30 minutes was kind of long.I arrived at 10:30 am and the doors were locked and the open sign was off. Two guys were unloading a truck with boxes of food and could see me waiting at the door, but didn't say anything. Once they were done unloading the boxes, they both took a leisurely smoke break.I called and a woman answered the phone. I told her that I had ordered food over 30 minutes ago and asked if it was ready. She responded, "Uhhhhhh. Yeah.....20 more minutes." At this point I said that I didn't have that much time and asked for the order to be canceled. She hung up on me and would not answer the phone again.The door was unlocked at 10:55 am (55 minutes after they were supposed to be open). The two men who had unloaded the boxes of food and had a couple of cigarettes were now in the kitchen, staring at me as they ate their breakfast. Not joking. They were standing over the area where food is made, eating food that they had taken time to prepare for themselves. I approached the counter and said, "Hi. I'm the guy you hung up on. I need my order canceled and money refunded." The woman would not refund my money and said, "10 more minutes." She would not cancel the order and just stopped looking at me or responding to me at this point.Two breakfast burritos took an hour and twenty minutes and were HORRIBLE. Seriously, some of the worst I've ever had in my life. And, not a single apology from any of the incredibly rude employees.

The asada fries are a large amount of food for a great price. It tasted amazing, but be careful with the sides of sauce if you can't handle spice.
If you're looking for fresh, flavorful, and beautifully-spiced food. THIS is the spot. Taqueria El Rincon Express was visited multiple times during my stay in Seattle and for a good reason... ahhhhmazing food. Plus, bottomless tortilla chips? Say less. I loved the spicing on the chips and found myself going back for more a few times per visit.The fish tacos pictured I would highly recommend if fish tacos are your jam. They're crispy and not dry while topped with fresh veggies/cabbage for the ultimate crunch. I will definitely make this a visit each time I'm in Seattle. I enjoyed my meals and the staff was also kind and answered any questions I had.

A walked into the unassuming place from the rain and was blown away by the taste, quality, and price. The menudo blanco was the star. I'll gladly comeback to it on a cold and rainy day. The fish tacos were also very impressive. Very fresh and with a bright and flavorful salsa to accent the fried fish. They also had a great salsa bar and chip station. The salsas were bold and flavorful, not watered down at all. The chips had their own unique seasoning which were quite addictive. I'm very lucky to be staying near by and will come back for the fish tacos and menudo for sure! It'll be hard to try the rest of their menu because those dishes were home runs for me.
