The Best Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes in Renton - Eater Seattle

"This taco truck on Benson Hill serves some of the best carnitas and lengua tacos in the greater Seattle region. The truck’s speciality, a fish taco served with slaw and chipotle mayo, is always a great option, but the expansive menu also has plenty of enticing tortas and fajitas. Open for takeout daily." - Alana Al-Hatlani

I got beef burrito and the beans and rice. $5 for a whole thing of Mexican beans and rice???? The good Mexican restaurant beans and rice that hits different.The burrito was absolutely delicious and the beef was super high quality. Generous portions too. I've been trying to go to every Mexican restaurant in the area, and this is definitely one of my favorites. I'll be going back and getting horchata beans and rice and trying something new. There's a table with chairs and a canopy, but it's still a good truck/ definitely not fancy.

The Pastor tacos ($2.50 each) and the shrimp tacos($3 each). Let me just tell you, we were hesitant at first but don't sleep on getting these tacos! The shrimp were my favorite, the fresh taco and delicious sauce ( I believe a spicy mayo) was spectacular. Pops of shrimp and some lime. I'm wanting more as we speak! The Pastor tacos were my husbands favorite but the flavor was also tasty, hints of sweet pineapple with the marinated meat, cilantro, onion and a Bit of lime; worth trying! Like I said try it, you won't be disappointed!

Authentic tacos at a reasonable price. The truck is located in the parking lot of a convenience store/gas station. There is a covered seating area with plastic tables and benches where you can sit and eat, however most people get their orders to go.

Yummy!! 😋 Shrimp and Fish tacos are so good! Get the combo plate cause the guacamole 🥑 is fire! There is a table and chairs to sit and eat. Don’t be fooled by the outside of the truck as the food that comes out is authentic and delish

I found this place, went there for the first time, came back again the very next day. It’s absolutely delicious, fairly priced, great portions, and the service is so friendly and welcoming. Absolutely the best Mexican food I’ve had in the area. I might say this is the best Mexican food in the greater Seattle area. Since my first (solo) visit, I’ve brought many of my friends here, and now when I’m off work they are the ones texting ME asking me if I want to go here. If you are on the fence, then get off of it and go here. You will probably love it. At the time of writing this they have 4.8 stars out of almost 500 reviews. That doesn’t happen by chance. They don’t offer discounts for reviews or free items for reviews… this is a fantastic spot to pick up food. TRY. IT. By the way- the lady who normally takes my order is so sweet and nice. Thank you to the people who work here! I’ll be back soon.

Delicious! Best shrimp tacos I’ve gotten from a food truck. Friendly service !! They even brought our food to the car when it was finished! They were also generous with the sauces

This taco truck was recommended by our family, and it didn't disappoint one bit. The fish tacos and shrimp tacos are delicious, the fish was grilled nicely, and the shrimps were plumped and tender. They were price right as well, I'd highly recommend getting those. This is definitely a hidden gem in the Renton area and worth it.

The owners of El Gallito are always friendly and courteous. They take the time to get to know you and your order preferences. The food is always fresh and made to order. Our go-to menu items are the lengua taco combo and the asada burrito. The horchata is probably the best horchata around: freshly made, creamy, and just sweet enough. Wait time is usually about 10-20 minutes from your order. Really happy to support this local small business!

Best fish and shrimp tacos ever! It's hard to find in this area but it's honestly the best seafood tacos packed with so much flavor. My husband and I would go every week if it was closer to us. Generous portions, great taste, and quick friendly service. El Gallito is the best!!

Do me a favor and order their shrimp tacos. The 5 stars are for the shrimp/fish tacos and for the warm service. Omg so good! We ordered the chicken & asada taco combo plates a couple Times but my husband and my dad said it was good but not something they will drive out of their way to. My husband said he loved the shrimp tacos much better. Recommend : Shrimp or Fish tacos (make it a combo with rice and beans) Tip: Check the times the food truck is there. (Usually after 2pm) Call in your order in advance to save yourself a long wait time since they get so busy.

Awesome tacos, great prices. My favorite is their house special fish taco. This combo plate I ordered included three tacos (I got fish, carnitas, and carne asada), rice, beans, pico de gallo, and salsas. It was so good I came back one other time after this even though it's quite out of the way for me... and i'm sure i'll be back soon. Clearly a local favorite as it was quite busy both times I visited! Apparently the horchata is a crowd pleaser too, that has been sold out both times at dinner, so go early if you want to try it!

A friend introduced me to El Gallito and I've become addicted! Everything is wonderful but I find it difficult to resist the shrimp taco. VERY friendly servic., I am a regular customer. Muy excelente!!

HIDDEN GEM!!!! Best fish and shrimp tacos I've ever had amazing rice super fluffy an flavorful will be coming back for more!!!!

The food truck doesn't look like much, located by the gas station, but they have delicious tacos! We got four different flavors of tacos - fish, shrimp, lengua, and asada, all in combo platters. Each combo platter comes with three tacos of your choice, beans, rice, pico de gallo, guacamole, and pieces of lime. The portions are quite large, I would say one combo is enough to fill up two people. We enjoyed all the tacos we got. The lady was nice and our order was ready for pick up after 25 minutes. They were not stingy on the sauces. Will definitely come back!

thebestMexicanfood truck Fish tacos. Amazing. They are closed on Sunday's though and sometimes they aren't at their regular location next to the gas station. Definitely call your order in ahead of time, it can take a little bit to prepare if they are busy. The owner is a sweetheart.

SO. GOOD. We went yesterday-the first thing we noticed when we walked up was the heavenly smell. We ordered the Chorizo Torta, the shrimp, fish and chicken tacos. Their service was outstanding, as was their hot sauce. We can't wait to come back for more :)

Easily the best Mexican food I've had in Washington. Great portions, fast service even when they're busy on a Friday night, and the food is always fresh and tasty. Gabriela will take into account any of your needs for an order and is such a sweet lady. Also if you love them as much as me, please let her know she should bottle and sell her salsa and horchata - it is absolutely to die for.

Love love these tacos. This food truck sit along side a gas station so don't get snobby or you're miss some of the best tacos in Renton. The service is good and food is quick which are totally impressive for me. I've been there at least 6 different times and the food is pretty consistent. On top of the tacos they serve a cilantro and onions mix that is amazing.

My son just brought home two burritos and three tacos. Yum yum and yum. The burritos are big. The tacos are lovely. They certainly don't skimp on the condiments either! Will definitely be eating from here more often

This is the best taco truck I have found since being home in LA. They make the best Carne Asada and horchata. Always well seasoned, lots of meat and very clean. The owners are so wonderful and have even stayed open to make me something. This is the best place for a great lunch, dinner or snack. Very reasonably priced as well.

Great authentic taco truck! They have weird hours though, so it's usually a random catch if I get them or not! Steak and shrimp were my favorite!

To start, I'm a very picky taco snob from California, and being Hispanic I will tell you when anything about a Mexican place if it is good or bad. This place is a must try, I can't stop going to it. I recommend getting Horchata they make fresh every morning, and their fish tacos are out of this world. I've had almost everything they have to offer. Everything is fantastic. Go, enjoy, and thank me later.

I really wanted to like this place. I love taco trucks so much, and this is the closest one to me. We got a carne asada burrito, and 2 shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos weren't so bad, a bit much going on, and the shrimp was over cooked. But the flavor was okay. The carne asada burrito was pretty bland. Needed a sauce or something. So many pieces of the meat were so gross though. Had to spit them out. My 11 year old asked me if they put rubber in the burrito on accident. I only ate about a 1/4 of the giant burrito because I just didn't want to bother. Sad story.

DELICIOUS FOOD & FRIENDLY OWNERS!! On Saturday, June 24, 2017 we had El Gallito cater our Triple Graduation Party! The catered for 200 people. The food was exceptional & Horchata! The Owners are so friendly and fair. My guests enjoyed many different food options and they raved about how wonderful the food was. They have a home base in Renton, and my understanding is that they Cater on the weekends. Give them a call they will cook incredible food and their cost is so fair. My personal favorite! The shrimp tacos.

Holy legit street tacos Batman. These taco were cheaper and better then any tacos I have tried in the area. These are very authentic. I am also a torts fan and their Torta was spot on. I am going to come back for these every chance I get.

Elizabeth and Gabriel are some hard working people. Love the food and the prices. They don't skimp on the meat. There's a seating area and you can enjoy your food in fresh air after ordering or you can take it home. Consider me a religious regular.

Other than El Gallito Mexican food truck by the North Benson Fred Meyer, there are literally no other local food trucks nearby Valley Medical Center. Affordable and tasty, I would definitely return and encourage everyone who passes by this unassuming food truck to give it a try! Pollo taco 1.50, shrimp taco 2.00. Not too shabby. Just wish they had a more welcoming and spacious wait area... I'll be back for a torta ;-)

Alicia B.

The burritos are huge and taste really good. The quesadillas and tacos are very good as well. This taco truck is overall well priced and a great option if you're craving quick Mexican food.

I'm sorry that I have no photos of what we had to eat but the quality of the chicken burrito I had and Char had open shrimp tacos that were so good we couldn't wait. It's worth the trip to get them even though there is okay places around us. Definitely worth the trip.

This is my favorite place to get tacos! I usually get about three to four chicken tacos, and they always turn out so delicious. Always greeted with a friendly smile, prices are a deal, and never disappointed with their food. Perhaps I'll try the Horchata drink too (Others say it's good)! Whenever you're around the Renton area, I highly recommend swinging by this food truck and try something!

Hell ya! The Ball and Chain and I were born and raised in The Evergreen State but spent most of our professional lives in So Cal. Where you could trip over a homeless person and get some five star Mexican food! We've been back a couple years and have searched the World over to find something decent.This place fills the bill. I sensed immediately that the food was fresh because it took a while to get the order. I got a Carnitas burrito two chorizo tacos and She got four Carne Asada tacos.The food was hot ( even after a fifteen minute drive home) And tasty. If you love good Mexican at a very reasonable price. GO!

El Gallito Mexican Food Truck just opened up a couple weeks ago and it is already pretty busy at lunchtime. And for good reason - - their food is amazing. Amazing. I mix of authentic Mexican food with a little twist of family tradition, it's pretty clear that this is going to be the best place in Renton to stop for a quick lunch or dinner. Their shrimp tacos are ADDICTIVE. In fact I wish I had one right now!
