I was so excited to try this place after reading all the awesome reviews. I got the chicken tacos and my husband had the carne asado burrito, and we got chips and salsa. It was easily the worst Mexican food Ive ever faced in my entire life. The chicken was over-cooked and rubbery to the point of being inedible - like crusty brown cubes. For some reason they poured (terribly made) pico all over the chips and tossed it in a clamshell; by the time we made the 2-minute drive back to our hotel it had turned into a soggy, inedible slurry. My husbands burrito was dry and tasteless. We ended up throwing this slop away and going back out for Taco Bell. Which is, you know, Taco Bell. But by that point we were too hungry and cranky to care.

The food is amazing. Unfortunately despite the listed menu prices, depending on who is working, I have been asked to pay anywhere from $1 to $3 more for a menu item. I get told... "Oh the manager change the price". I do not know if they are pocketing the difference or what. It is highly unprofessional. I also notice that 2 people can pay a different price for the same item in a 5 minute period if one is latina and one is white. Is this racism or are they just conveniently cheating some customers?

This was our first visit. Dont be fooled by the decor, which looks like it was designed by a five year old. We had a Washington (California) burrito, steak with potato and cheese, and some tacos with carnitas. This was really good food, with character and quality. The prices are as cheap as Taco Time, but the quality was way higher. The second impression won over my dubious partner. Well be back soon.

The food is delicious! They definitely need a good makeover in the dining area. The portion sizes are great for the prices you pay. Their burritos are huge. This place is my favorite to go for breakfast burritos and taquitos. The only thing that concerns me us the people who hang out in the parking lot at night. It is super dark. I wish they put in more lighting in the parking lot.

The food was great. BUT do NOT use the restroom. I half walked in and turned back around! It reeked of sewer and there were poop smeared all over the trashcan. And the toilet looked disgusting! Almost ruined my appetite. O recommend using the restroom at the McDonalds next door like i had to! The only reason why i gave 2 star is because the food was amazing. Would have gotten 5!

This place ripped me off; incompetent person working the register convinced herself I gave her less money than I really did. I thought this place was great, but I will never go to a place that (intently or inadvertently) steals money from its customers. Stay away from this place and go somewhere that is more careful with its handling of money.

Im unsure of the positive reviews here. The food was not that good and was equal to a low rate cali restaurant. Not worth a second trip. The enchiladas tasted like they came from a frozen meal and the shredded beef didnt have much salt let alone much flavor. The inside and out is not taken care of. Very disappointing considering the reviews.

I go at night time once to every other week after work around midnight. Carne asada fries always hits the spot not matter what my mood is. I have seen there tacos turn a frown upside down. Just be cautious you might run into some straight characters at that time but dont let that stop you from getting some munchies. Did I mention 24/7!

I love this place! I do miss the Memos Fries (basically just tater tots), but when ownership changed, pretty much all the rest of the food stayed the same or improved. My two favorites are the Washington Burrito or the Carne Asada Fries. This place is also 24/7, so its perfect for late night cravings (like after the bar).

The Washington steak & shrimp Burrito is so bomb for the price plus 24hr drive threw is worth it to me. Just been introduced to this place & Id go there for sure when I am in the mood & in the area... Wish it was closer to were I live for the late night chill sessions you feel me.. For what it is, its worth it...

Stopped in because McDonald was closed next door even though said open 24 hrs a day. Happy I did the food was much better. Every thing was hot and fresh. Place wasnt busy at 3AM so place should have been cleaner. Several tables needed clearing and garbage can need dumped but was happy with place all in all.

Excellent food. Decent prices. Two downsides: beans are always way too salty and there is a drug problem in the area (hypodermic needle on bathroom floor, drug stench and smoke after some use the bathroom, unsavory characters frequenting the place. Just keep an eye on the kids. ).

The only place where you can get a real carne asada burrito, by that I mean just carne asada guac and pico de gallo without the rice and bean filler that most places use, sure its not the best Ive ever had but its the best socal-mex food you will ever find here in Seattle

The inside may be a little dated and grungy (especially the bathroom) but the food is so dang good! 2 tacos will fill you up because they load those babies up. Try the shrimp taco, it has rice on it. Very nice customer service. 4 stars bc of the appearance and bathroom

This place is amazing. Its like a hidden little gem. The burritos are huge and some of the best tasting I have ever had. The price is excellent for what you get and the selection is great too. If you are eating at the burger place next door you are missing out.

The food here is delicious. The chicken tacos were the only disappointment but everything else was amazing! The only set back is the cleanliness. The tables and chairs were very dirty as well as the floor-it makes me wonder how clean the kitchen is.

The carne asada fries are great, the horchata is really good only thing they need to improve is their customer service ! The girls working on the drive thru never say "thank you" or anything, always looking so negative, and bitchy. Work on it!

This is my go to place for burritos. Out of all the taqueria places around this area (and there are tons) this is my favorite place. Adobada burrito is the bomb! So juicy and they dont skimp out on meat portion. Love everything on the menu.

Food tasted like those dollar TV dinners, which just tastes fake to me. Got horchata that tasted kinda watered down or something, and no free refills for them either. The resturant itself seemed kind of dreary, like an abandoned Del Taco.

Service was awful. Sat in the drive-thru for 14 minutes and only ordered 1 burrito. The car in front of me ordered 4 sodas and that was it, yet it still took them 7 minutes to get their drinks. Great tasting food, awful customer service
