Ok, this was more impressive than many other taco places I've tried in Seattle.
This location of El Camion is something like a permanent food truck by Home Depot. There is a walk up window to order, and a separate one on the side to pick up. I like this, since it helps make the process of ordering a little less crowded and have a better flow than typical food trucks.
We got four tacos:
Pollo Mole- Very unique taco, and quite good! However, you need to be ok with the cinnamon/spice aspect of the mole since it stands out. Comes with grilled onions and avocado.
Carnitas- Nice & tender. A bit bland. Pretty good but needs salsa to perk it up.
Adobada- Delicious , abundant amount of pork cooked in red sauce. This was my favorite. It did have a ton of tomato on top, but I didn't mind.
Shrimp- Enjoyed the toppings, but could've used more or bigger pieces of shrimp as it was kind of hidden beneath all the other flavors. I felt this was the most overpriced for the amount of meat in it. (Over $4).
Also got an El Camion Burrito with cochinita pibil. The fillings of meat, cheese, rice, beans, etc were PLENTIFUL... but it got so sloppy.
I want to be able to pick up my burrito. *Sigh* Alas, this one would not stay together- so we had to eat it with a fork and knife.
The taste of the meat was great, but we wished it came with pickled red onions as cochinita pibil always has in my past experience at other places.
Most of our tacos came with tons of meat for the tortilla size, which was awesome. When picking up your food, there is a display of about 8 salsas for you to choose from (I really wish I got a photo of this, but I forgot!) We enjoyed trying three of them. Chipotle was my favorite.
Overall these tacos were pretty good... maybe my favorite in Seattle. The service was decent enough, the time the food was cooked was fast for how many people ordered before us, and I like the little outdoor eating area next to the truck. I'd come back to try more options from the menu!
