16 Mouth-Watering Mexican Restaurants in the Seattle Area

"This food truck chain has three locations in the north end and one in West Seattle, which is good, because you never want to be too far away from one of the city’s most reliable takeout Mexican options. The tortas and burritos are each good for a meal and a half (or half a meal if you’re bulking), the Los Gallos Rojos (three tortillas stuffed with chicken) showcases El Camion’s tender meat, and the salsa selection is top-notch — you’ll want to get the chipotle and at least two others." - Harry Cheadle, Charlie Lahud-Zahner, Eater Staff

-Insane value, quantity, and quality - best shrimp burrito for sure - shrimp burrito is my go to - the burrito is so massive I get full from only eating a third of it - so many variety homemade salsas that are delicious and unique-- we always get the avocado salsa, habanero, and molé - they do not skimp on the avocado - cross section is beautiful and it holds well - to-go and quick made to order

Normally I love El Camion. What's not to love with a giant saucy ass burrito? Man, tonight I roll in. There is no one waiting on food. It is SLOW! I order a chicken burrito, 'wet' with Chipolete sauce across the top. Dude gives me a beeper, (again, I'm the only one there) It is literally ready in 2 full minutes?! Admittedly, I was like suspicious, because it was just too fast. I get to my dinner destination within just 2-3 min. Burrito is not even slightly warm, it's like cold. They clearly just filled it with pre cooked ingredient's, and sent it out the door. Total let down. Microwave that shit up if you are serving it cold. Edit: OK, holds da phone. Now I am emergently in the bathroom saying goodbye to my burrito as it passes from my body. Not a good time.

The best Mexican place in Seattle are these little gems of food trucks. You gotta do the Cochinita Pibil. It's the "seasoned" pork and it's absolutely delicious. Adobada has a nice firey heat. The lingua was good too. Portion sizes are big. I like the gorditas, but the los gallos rojos, tacos, tamales- they're all good. If you got time, show up and see what the special on the board is. Don't have time? Put your order in online before you drive out. They get a big line during lunch/dinner, so plan ahead or get a horchata to drink while you wait . It's definitely worth the wait.

Insane value for burritos! I got the El Camino burrito with carne asada and it was massive. I weighed the burrito and it came up to about 2 and a half pounds! I like to share a burrito with my gf and maybe another side. It's massive. Sometimes the carne asada can be dry. Other times, it's done right! The one consistent thing they have here and the reason I keep coming back is definitely their salsas. They have like 7 different salsas. My favorites are the Chipotle and Habanero.

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!

Skip chipotle and check out this spot! The food is so good and service was super quick! The food truck and outdoor seating during the summer would be perfect otherwise just grab your food to go! Burritos are HUGE definitely could split between 2 people and still be full! Lots of salsas to pick from and food is so fresh 10/10 recommend!

i was super surprised when apple maps sent me to home depot until i saw where the truck actually was! they have seating with fairy lights which was cute. it was also fairly crowded but not too long of a wait. i got el camion with no cheese or sour cream and it was super delicious. i probably ate less than half of it in one sitting. i also tried to finish the other half later in the day but got too full, so i would say this is a great deal for basically 2 meals. my only complaint is that their salsa verde is not super flavorful, but honestly you can just use more sauce and its fine

One of my favourite local taco trucks! We discovered this place a while ago when coming to our local home depot and now I can't stop coming back! My husband usually orders the Los Gallos Rojos and I usually get an assortment of tacos (2-3 depending on hunger level as they are quite big!). The service is always super quick and the food is really fresh and delish! While we tend to get takeout, it's not a bad spot to sit as the outlook is onto all the beautiful plants at home depot! I cant recommend this place enough! If you're in the area (or even if you're not!) you need to try this place! Now off to the park to eat our tacos!

El Camion has some of the best Mexican authentic food for the prices! Everything is served with plenty of meat. I used to eat at the Ballard location often. They moved it to Fremont and the quality went down. However this was my first time eating at the Aurora location inside the Home Depot parking lot and it was smackin! I ordered a chicken verde enchilada plate with cheese added. And they have made fresh daily tamales! What?! I ordered a chicken verde and this was the biggest tamale I have ever seen in my life! Its was on sale that day for only $4.25! My friend and I split it! Its was so delicious! Do not sleep on taking home an extra tamale for lunch tomorrow! It was my favorite part of the meal and for that price! Yumm!! It took me 3 sittings to finish all this food. I definitely recommend El Camino!! :)

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Seattle, check out this very unassuming food truck! They serve everything from tacos to homemade tamales and churros. The service here is pretty quick and at this location they have a few tables if you can't wait to chow down! I love the variety of salsas and sauces too! I got the carne asada burrito, which comes with a very generous serving of meat. It's easily two meals! Follow my Instagram and TikTok @thephotographerfoodie! :)

I always see El Camion all over the places. They do got couple location for their food truck. I finally decided to give them a try. They surely didn't disappoint me. I ordered one of their special. The portion was big and price was right. The taco were amazing. I couldn't finish it all. I will be back in the future.

Absolutely the most inconsistent food truck ever. I have ordered the same thing multiple times and gotten completely different quality items. One of my burritos was 80% black beans while another burrito had none. If your only priority is size, then this is the place for you.

I just love this place. Their burritos are 10/10 and the portion is insane. They're filled with so much and I usually make 2 meals out of it. They have a variety of sauces you can choose from.

If you're looking for Mexican food, this is the spot! Despite living close by I've only been to this establishment twice and regret not coming more often. There's a large selection - so far I've tried their tacos, burritos and horchata. The portions are very generous and I have yet to be disappointed. The burritos come with meat, cheese, sour cream, rice beans and are my favorite item to get here. Their tacos are also larger than normal street tacos. The horchata, however, could use a little more flavor but besides that, no other complaints. Pro tip: you can order ahead online

LOVE their food!!! We work right next door and have either lunch or dinner around twice a month. I would eat there more often but then I would weigh like 500 lbs. :-) We order ahead to save time and take it back to work or home. There is a covered outdoor area but I don't like to eat outside. The service is great and everyone that works there is so nice!

I was not impressed by the food I ordered to be delivered. It was the worst enchiladas I feel I have ever had very mushy and without much flavor. The rice was bland, and their beans were overcooked. It almost felt like I was eating yesterday's leftovers. The pico-De-gallo was stale and old looking, not fresh. The tomatoes used were pale and not red, so obviously old vegetables, I will not be eating there again. Yuck. I took several bites and had to throw it all out. What a waste of my money.

Located near Home Depot. Small parking area. Owned and served by Mexicans. Very authentic. Dined outside, taco truck place. Fish Tacos. $3.60 amazing, filled with flavor and very reasonably priced. Grade 10/10 Shrimp Tacos $4.20 great taste, rich on flavor, about 4 prawns in the taco. Grade 9/10. Overall grade 10/10. Probably the best taco truck place I've been to locally. Looking forward in trying other dishes.

I went to visit a friend who suggested we get food here. It was fantastic!! The chicken mole tamales are DELICIOUS! Sadly I ate before I could get a picture. I highly recommend and I look forward to when I visit her again so we can eat from here again!

My favorite Mexican food and taco truck in Seattle. Adobada, carnitas, pollo, asada, cochinita pibil, they have it all, and it's all incredible!

El Camion is my favorite place of Mexican eats here in Seattle. All of their locations are semi-permanent food trucks. Don't let that put you off. Their menu is broad with a lot of flavorful options. Everything from great street tacos to full plates like Chile Rellenos. Portions are GENEROUS. I generally have leftovers. Great taste, Americanized but what can you do? Service is quick and the people are always helpful and friendly. The Aurora Ave site next to Home Depot has a few tables and outdoor seating. Bonus-tip: They have a good range of authentic salsas. Experiment if you're not familiar with them. Your tastebuds will thank you. Hint if you see a bit of lime with your meal that's a good sign. Most traditional Mexican food comes with a lot of lime.

I am a spice hating baby ....I know, it's very upsetting. My boyfriend brought me to this cute lil food truck near Home Depot on a Saturday morning before our spring plant haul trip. I gotta say, I was very excited to dig into these fish tacos. Check out the photo, they are gorgeous! But...I couldn't take the heat!!! My mouth was on fire for 90% of the meal, so I can't give a truly accurate review, but what I tasted was great. I can handle a little kick, but this was too much. I definitely want to try El Camion again, but will ask for the sauce on the side next time! Seating was pretty banging for a small food truck. They have covered picnic tables and patio furniture. The food took a while to come out, but that's expected when you're located next to Home Depot on a Saturday!

El Camion has been hit or miss. Sometimes, the beans have been undercooked and kind of hard. Today the burrito was pretty tasty, but I bit into a rock in my burrito. At least I don't think I chipped my tooth thankfully. Anyways, hopefully this review will prompt the people at El Camion to be more careful?

Excellent! Love this place for it's delicious entrees, with generous portions at great prices! I ordered Arroz Con Pollos fully expecting that they would skimp on the pollo and go heavy on the rice, but I was wrong! The portion was large enough to split over multiple meals, and each time I was surprised by how much chicken was in there! And it was tasty! Perfectly seasoned! And they let you pick a variety of salsas to accompany your dish, too! (I tried the verde, the matcha and the chipotle -- all delicious) Go! You won't be disappointed!!

Looking at my last review, I'm shocked that I only gave 3 stars. I guess before I just wasn't ordering the right thing. This has been one of our favorite spots to get takeout during the pandemic. Our go-tos are the tacos and sopas--both are delicious. Three tacos will fill you up. Seriously, these tacos are probably twice the size of the competition.

This is my second time trying this in the past few years since they got rid of their physical location. I don't eat the meat so I can't speak to that but their veggie burritos are just stuffed with vegetables that are too large and there's nothing left in the burrito. A month ago I ordered a fish taco and it was so fishy I couldn't eat it. Today I ordered the bean and cheese burrito from DoorDash. It said it came with rice, salsa, sour cream, etc. when I bit into it it was literally just a 10 inch tortilla filled with black beans. No flavor and nothing else in it. I feel like I've given them so many chances but once again I've wasted money and can't stomach this terrible food. Go to taqueria el sabor if you're looking for cheap, delicious authentic Mexican food.

So I have to say the cooks on the meat were on point like 5/5. They were juicy and flavorful. Unfortunately the salsa and guacamole were super disappointing. Not enough seasoning, the guacamole was brown when I got it. And the chips some were kind of stale unfortunately. I got a lengua taco, pollo mole burrito and chips and guacamole. The filling of the burrito was very good, it was messy to eat but flavor was good. The other two were a little disappointing minus the cook on the lengua.

LARGE BURRITOS. The flavor was surprisingly underwhelming for how amazing these burritos look. Pictures look mouth watering, flavorful, and intense so I was shocked when it was just okay. Definitely one of the better food trucks I've tried in the area and I loved the ambiance and that the truck is located in it's own little tucked away area. We ordered two burritos: carne asada and adobada. I had high hopes for the adobada and it looked amazing but it could have used more flavor. The color was beautiful, pork chunks were large and came apart easily; I'd rate it a 4/5. I also thought a pineapple could have really enhanced the flavor. On the the carne asada burrito it was well seasoned but the chunks were a little big, that might just be personal preference but it overpowered each bite. 4/5 on that one too. The salsas were a bit watery. I tried all of them and neither was overly spicy or sweet or exciting so I mixed all of them together. Overall a pretty good food truck with friendly service and good food. card and touch-less pay is a plus.

The best burritos in town are from this trailer in the Home Depot parking lot. Also recommend the Chile rellenos and breakfast burritos. Try the cochinita pibil with hatch salsa. Many kinds of salsas for whatever your tastes.

El camion has the beeeest wet burritos ever and they're like 3 pounds. Also got the fish, chorizo and adobada taco. The sauce they put on fish taco is soo delicious, chorizo has a good kick and adobada was a bit dry but if you add one of their plethora of salsa choices it's fixed! The food also came out within 5 minutes and I went around 6 pm. Will come back to try other items on their menu for sure :)

Can't wait to try more items from here! My partner is from SoCal so we've been searching for decent Mexican food in Seattle...so glad we finally found this place! The burritos are HUGE for a very reasonable price! I would totally order my carne asada plate again. The chipotle salsa was our favorite. In this moment I can't really think of Mexican in Seattle that I'd prefer over this, especially Mexican that isn't super overpriced. Next time we're craving Mexican this will be our pick for sure!

The food is always delicious. I used to go more often when they had a building but the service is still very good. The ambiance isn't for me as I'm not a fan of the transition to exclusively food trucks and their small outdoor locations.

Usually pretty quick, but sometimes the lines can get long so we always try to call ahead if we can. They pick up the phone 50% of the time only... but worth it to try so you save some time. When we have been here during COVID, they have been trying their best to have good practices. For example I saw the cashier change gloves after each transaction and before every time before she touches food. The salsa bottles were also gone and it looked like they were prepackaged so you have to ask for them when you grab your order. If you order delivery though, note you will probably not get your salsas. We've only been able to enjoy their salsas when we do take out. Burritos are definitely more expensive than when we first came here but I still think they are one of the top food trucks around.

El Camion catered my wedding and they were incredible! My husband, his parents, and I went to their restaurant to test out their food before booking and we were blown away! All of the food was fantastic! The beans and rice were well seasons, the meats were so tender and flavorful, it was an automatic yes! We booked them before the pandemic and despite staffing shortages, they made it work and catered our wedding in April 2022. Their food truck had some malfunctions but they brought out tents and buffet equipment and no one knew any different. I still have people telling me how delicious the food was. Their sides are vegan and we chose to have veggie tacos available too so my sister-in-law and her husband (who are vegan) would have plenty to eat as well. We were very impressed with their services! Thank you El Camion for coming through and making our wedding fantastic!!

Food was just "Ok". Tacos were terrible as they were buried in tomatoes making the tortillas soggy and gross. The tamales were decent and the best items I had. The beans and rice were an afterthought in terms of flavor or care put into them. Overall - probably one of the worst taco trucks in Seattle.

Yelp
Food smacks! High as hell writing this but yeah man 10/10. If you postmates make sure to ask for salsa though cause I'm currently dry dogging this shrimp burrito. Actually nah I feel like salsa is mandatory and you shouldnt have to ask. I still love you though El Camion. XOXO

Nice place to stop for tacos after shopping at Home Depot. Fish tacos were delicious. Mole sauce on the pollo tacos rivals the mole sauces I've had in Houston. Would've been a five star taco food truck, but it took almost 30 minutes to get an order of five tacos and the prices on yelp can be doubled.

Best Mexican food truck! The burritos are the best and I recommend you try them wet (covered in sauce.)

Love the food. They don't look at notes when ordering for delivery. Always ask for the hot sauces I usually get when picking up but they never provide them. This time I paid $2.50 for "Salsa" and they just gave us 4 small hot sauces of the same type, which you would get for free and choose a variety when picking up.

Yelp
Generous portions (sometimes overly generous on the portion sizing), definitely price friendly but with a lack of quality control. The tamales are definitely the star, steamed Yucatán style which gives them a sweet flavor. Rice and beans are so/so, canned black beans and white rice sauced. Personally, I find everything being topped in a ton of tomatoes and sour cream/crema a turn off, as it drowns out the food. I highly recommend asking them to go light or not include the added toppings.

Love the burritos - tasty, fresh, and generous portions. We order delivery through a third party service and have never had a problem with an order being incorrect. The folks at El Camion get it right every time.

I have mixed thoughts here. They have a lot of options, are fast, and cater to different dietary restrictions. That being said, I have had a few experiences that were not the best. This could be my own fault for not going early enough in the day or being there at the wrong time, but they have never had any ceviche left when I am there which is a bummer! Also, I ordered a quesadilla with veggies and found several pieces of chicken in it. As a vegetarian, this really bothered me. I specifically chose a vegetarian option and was upset to see meat in my order even though the menu had it as a meatless option. They charge for all sides, chips + salsa, rice + beans, so I prefer to either go here as a snack or get takeout so I can supply my own chips and salsa. Some items seem to be well loved, I just personally haven't had the best experience.

Absolute crap, ordered arroz con pollo. Got some zucchini crap. Unfortunate that they can't get it correct, also pico sucked pre-packed like 3 days ago also total crap, wtf?oh and the fish taco sucked. Alaska cod? Bullshit, tasted and smelled like shit

I won't say the best Mexican style food I have ever had- but I would say for Seattle it was pretty tasty. The burrito itself was large and the salsas they have are really good (the salsas may have been my favourite part) I had the Chipotle and the Habenero. The ingredients were fresh and yummy. The service was very friendly- sometimes at food trucks, the service is so so-but from the kind gentleman who took my order to the man who gave me my order everyone was very kind and patient. My order came out quickly just a few minutes. If you are allergic to stuff or just a picky eater they can customize your eats to what you need. The only issue I had is that the burrito wasn't wrapped tightly enough so as you were eating it- it did fall apart a bit and made eating it a little more difficult. This is on my way home when I visit the suburbs-so I will be stopping here again :)

El Capitan nachos range from delicious to very extremely delicious depending on who is behind the cooktop that day. There's sometimes a crispy, hot layer of pan fried cheese on the bottom so you get a bite of fried cheese with every chip. Mmmmm C:

Tried the carne asada tacos and pork Nachos. Looks nothing like the pictures folks been posting, the meat has no flavor, skip this place if you're a foodie.
