La Conasupo Taqueria & Snack Shop

It’s hard finding good Mexican food in Washington. Lengua and cabeza tacos were great. Chicken quesadilla was moist and tasty. Love how this place doesn’t skimp on the meat. Will be back to try the other meats. Order at the storefront counter. (Hibiscus petals sold here).

This place brought me back to my childhood! The food was really good and the tacos were gigantic! They had a bunch of nice snacks and food items that you hardly see here in Seattle. My partner and I are a very foodie people and this place met the expectations. Definitely coming back!

This is a hidden gem that’s become our favorite Mexican food in the city!! Don’t miss the potato tacos and guava agua frescas.

I asked for 2 alpastor tacos and they brought me this sunbicht with about 5 tacos worth of meat.. goof thing they gave me extra tortillas.

Stopped in for lunch after running errands nearby. Asked for 5 tacos de carnitas and was confused when they said it would be $33. Turns out the tacos are HUGE. I got two for $13, but the tacos were overflowing with goods and they gave me two extra tortillas too. A little cold when served, otherwise delicious.

I hadn’t had the real Mexican homemade taste in a while here in the USA! Even mom approved We had a couple of quesadillas (lengua and tinga) and we could not choose which one was better, by the way they are huge. This is not Tex Mex, this is authentic Puebla style Mexican food

This place stocks festive piñatas along the ceiling as well as authentic mexican sundries. The real attraction is in the rear of the establishment. The Barbacoa is the best I've had in Seattle!! I gave 4 stars because the eatery section could be a bit cleaner.

Best place ever little while in the wall but food is truly authentic always a crowd because food is to dies for very big portions so bring your appetite

Excelente servicio , El local es ta extra limpio . porciones grandes y cuando digo grandes es verdad!! Amigable y cordial personal. super recomendable si visitas Seattle y quieres un rico platillo mexicano con musica de todo tipo.

Flavor of the steak was great. And omg the biggest taco I've ever eaten. No wonder it was like 6 dollars! The meat was almost like it could've been the amount inside of a burrito. Would come again!

Great food- have tried almost all meats and they seem all to be stewed. Very flavorful and 1 order of tacos comes with a huuuggeee mound of meat with three tortillas. Their quesadillas are also delicious and I'm sure they make their own tortilla for that, which is a thicker more structural tortilla to hold in the loads of cheese and fillings. For vegetarians, they do have a mushroom quesadilla which I think is pretty tasty. Their salsas are also great! This is tucked behind a small market storefront so just head in and you'll see tables in the back! The owner and everyone who works there are so kind. We come by multiple times a month. And surprisingly even though the meats are stewed here, they carry out pretty nicely. Just remember, in general portions are huge for everything. ;)

Not going to hold back any punches here: This was one of the worst culinary experiences my wife or I had in Seattle. And in her words, this was the WORST FOOD she had so far. We went in and after seeing the taco article online that raves about this place (see photo below). Maybe it was a special occasion, but the tacos are NOT cheap here ($5-6 per taco? Wow). So we opted for a quesadilla. The owner recommended the combination quesadilla, which was $15.99. I asked for the meat to be replaced with lengua (beef tongue), and he decided to slide in an extra dollar on the charge. Fine. The quesadilla was BEYOND horrible. Too much cheese and the tortilla wasn't good at all. It was like eating a hard taco. I cut the quesadilla in half and gave half to my wife. I had lengua in mine, but my wife complained that she didn't taste any meat. When she opened her quesadilla, lo and behold it was all cheese and mushrooms. No meat to be seen! And the audacity to sneakily charge us an extra dollar, when we barely got any meat. To say this quesadilla was a crime is an understatement. I love my quesadillas, and no joke, I would, on any day, order a Taco Bell quesadilla over this. At least they give some meat in theirs compared to here. At the end of the day, we left the place $20 poorer, hangry, frustrated, and famished. We are all for supporting small businesses, but we will never come back to this one. My wife is cooking instant ramen as we speak. Literally 10 min after leaving this place.

Without a doubt the best tacos I've had in Seattle... it took me a long time to come and try this place despite being steps away at the Morrow, mostly because of the price. $5+ for tacos? I didn't believe the reviews that said the tacos are hefty enough to justify the price, but indeed they are... piled high with hot, glistening, rich and flavorful carnitas and cabeza. Next time I return to Seattle, I know I have to make a stop here on the weekend to try the barbacoa. Greenwood residents, you have a gem here, one of the few standout Mexican options in the city.

The food was really good. Large portions I'll admit when one taco was $5, didn't love that .. but when the taco was brought out there was enough meat to make 3 or 4 - I understood . They have an extra tortilla with each taco. I ordered a torta, and two tacos. Couldn't even get to my tacos- I was so full from my torta. A table next to me got quesadillas yumm When They got their tacos they were equally surprised at how much food they had ordered. The eating area was very clean The service was great. Everyone was very friendly and efficient Oh yeah -the salsas

Very helpful finding the right choice for their delicious quesadillas! We had both the lamb and the chicken quesadillas and we would choose them both again. The corn tortillas were soft and crisp on the edges. It's a great place for finding unusual ingredients and for eating in or taking out!

Absolutely one of the best quesadillas I've ever had in Seattle. Amazing price for the huge portion, perfect soft and toasty corn tortilla, pollo tinga was tender and flavorful. The green salsa that comes with it was so fresh and bright. Love that I can get some chamoy gummies from the snack shop for after my meal. Adding this to our takeout rotation!

I had some amazing barbacoa and they have a big beer selection! Service and ambiance 10/10

We wholeheartedly believe in supporting local businesses, which is why we went to La Conasupo recently. The ambiance is about a 3 out of 10. We ate very little of our food--stewed meat can be good but this meat was short on flavor. The salsas helped a bit, but the dearth of seasoning hurt. I'm supposed to talk about service--not really a factor here. You place your order at the front counter, find a clean table, and someone walks your food from the kitchen to your table. We won't return, but the other excellent reviews should be enough to let you know it's a YMMV situation, as it is with all restaurants.

If you haven't had the consomé soup here, you haven't lived. Period. Admit it, you deserve happiness, here it's delivered in the form of a hot streaming brothy bowl.

After visiting another Mexican grocery on Aurora, and having the employee mock and be condescending (ie. I don't speak Spanish). I looked up this place and asked the cashier for the cheese, I was looking for, and after a little language barrier. She jumped up and showed me where the cheese was. I got the cheese I was looking for and also bought a bunch of dried peppers, which I have to say are the freshest I have ever bought in Seattle. I didn't unfortunately order any of the hot food, but I plan on going back to the restaurant was packed.

hola buenos días !!! yo llegué el día de hoy a comprar comida para llevar y les faltó echarme mis tacos yo llegando a casa 30 minutos de camino y darme cuenta que la mitad de la horden faltaba me decepciona y quiero dejar claro que puedo.... entender si estuviera muy ocupado no avía nada de clientes .... eso es frustrante cuando llegas a casa y no está completo recuerdo que ese lugar era lo mejor unos cuantos años atrás

Read online about their lamb barbacoa and had to try it. This is my comfort food. The amount of food you get is incredible. I made 3 tacos out of my 1 taco. La Conasupo has all the nostalgia of the small Mexican shops I'd go to when working in Central California in the 90s. I highly recommend trying this gem.

Hidden gem, this is a authentic Mexican convince store that sells Mexican food products. They also make food and the quesadillas are wonderful. Check this place out!

wow amazing.... one of the bedt placed in town.. the owner us super friendly and they make you feel right at home... big portions... good ambience a must try.... I will say it wad a great experience.. im coming back for sure

Their tacos are ok. Kinda dry. Went here before and a lady with a very bad attitude tried to overcharge us and yelled at us for asking for our money back. I recently went in there to grab tissue to blow my nose and a guy yelled at me in the store and then I left back outside and he continued to yell at me. Terrible customer service

Once you get to know the folks there they are amazing people, the food they make is so delicious as well, from their affordable tacos (7$ for like 4 tacos worth of meat) I usually get the pork. From their lamb consommé, this place hits like no other in the north end. I come here for lunch regularly!

Excelente comida mexicana, consomé de barbacoa y tacos súper bien servidos, quesadilla de Hongos con requesón es una delicia y las coca colas mexicanas es un plus el servicio es muy amable siempre.

Went in to try these quesadillas I read about. Massive and delicious!! We met the new owner. He's from Columbia and recommended I mix my beer with my coke. It was weird and wonderful. Tongue tacos was ok. Carnitas we're good too, But the shredded beef quesadillas were the best!! The salsa verde is not to be missed. Will be back next week!!!!!

I had an excellent dining experience!!! The food was not only delicious but also came in generous portions. I ordered the 2 tacos, which were filled with flavorful barbacoa and lengua. They even provided extra tortillas! The owner and staff were incredibly friendly, and the service was remarkably quick

Great food! Service is good. I find it better to go right when they open. Location has good parking in the backside. Aguas frescas are also really good.

I just stumbled upon this place, and I will be back. Food is filling and it's under the radar.

This place is such a hidden gem in Greenwood. Tucked in the back of a Mexican grocery store is La Conasupo. It's a no frills restaurant where you look at the menu on the board, decide what you want to eat and let the person at the counter know. She'll write the order in Spanish on a ticket and will tell you to go to the front of the grocery store to the cashier and pay. I discovered this place about 4 years ago and I almost missed it because it's along the main row of shops in Greenwood. If it's your first time there, I highly recommend getting the Quesadilla. It's literally the size of a half moon! Get the Quesadilla de Tinga de Res, which is shredded beef in the most amazing sauce. Add that to the cheese inside the quesadilla and it's absolute heaven...and messy. Since I ordered this so many times, I decided to get tacos on my latest trip. Tacos are about $6 each, so they're on the pricey side. However, these aren't your run of the mill street tacos that you can eat in one bite. They're about 2 1/2 times the size of those tacos and loaded with meat and onions and cilantro. When I ordered three, the lady at the counter warned me how big they were. The size of the tacos reminded me of the ones in LA where they just piled on the meat with several tortillas underneath. I chose Lengua, Cabeza, and Carnitas as my meats of choice, which are the top 3 I normally get. The tacos didn't disappoint. The container weighed about 3 lbs. total and I definitely over ordered. Two is enough for a hungry person. Also, beware of the red salsa. It is extremely tongue numbing hot. In the window is also chicharrons piled 2 feet high that they've fried from all the meats. They're literally the size of your head and bigger, so I got a pound of those to snack on. They're a bit hard, so you probably want to use them for cooking in stews, etc. instead of eating raw. Next time you're in Greenwood and you're craving Mexican, make sure you stop by here and grab a quesadilla or tacos. I'll need to go back and get some consome or menudo next time I go back!

Really good barbacoa on the weekends make me comeback every other Saturday at least, a unique dish hard to find in seattle,

Very solid tacos! I ordered the lengua, and the portion was very generous, and the meat was tender. I liked that salsa had a piece of avocado in it! Not perhaps the best taco I've ever had, but a very solid neighborhood spot with a homey no fuss no frills atmosphere since it doubles as a grocery store. (Forgot to take a photo)

Service? .....excellent.... Food?...very very good !!....this is a place to eat ; fresh made tortillas...I certainly recommend this place ; and we will come back for sure

Great food / clean and Amazing service .Also this Mexican Restaurant offer a good variety of Mexican products . Our family recommend this Mexican Restaurant to all of you .

really solid tacos, very cheap and huge portions!! I ordered two but there was enough meat that I really should have ordered one. i would come back, cute neighborhood too

Happy to have this place nearby our house. It's a great little Mexican market with a taco shop in the back. Tacos were alright. Not big fans of the lengua as it tasted boiled and super underseasoned. Still on the hunt for some good lengua. The carnitas were good but everything could use a touch of salt. However the horchata here is soooo good. Like I want to buy it in buckets. But maybe that's gross. I don't care. It's that good.

I think I should have read the reviews more carefully: $4 seems like a lot to pay for one taco, but good lord do they make enormous tacos here. I quite foolishly ordered two. Each taco came on two rather large tortillas and the plate contained two more. Basically, you get enough meat with two tacos to make six more modestly-sized ones. You do the math: buy one gigantic $4 taco, and portion that into at least two, if not more. And yes, the red salsa is quite hot. So how were they? I got the carne asada, and as others have noted, they were a bit dry, although they did have the texture of tacos al barbacoa. Next time--and there will be a next time--I'll probably try the tinga de pollo quesadilla because that for sure should not be dry. Oh, and bonus points for the gigantic cups of guava drink and horchata in the back fridge, ready for the taking. The kitchen staff seems to speak limited English, FYI, but that's not really a hindrance to ordering or anything like that.

It was fast and the prices were low but the meat is mostly just fat. I feel pretty queasy and we ended up composting the majority of what we ordered. No seasoning, no salt, just super fatty meat and too much cheese. Sadly I don't think we'll order again.

I absolutely loved this place and it was a tradition to come here every Sunday w/ my family. Ever since the new Colombian owner came into the picture the food and customer service has gone from a 100 to a 0 very quickly. i paid $18 for barbacoa, not a mix of pork and borrego (it's not actual barbacoa): It was old and they do not give you anything more than 1/2 a pound. This is NOT authentic Mexican food anymore and I will not be coming back.

My boyfriend and I love this place. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience today that I found something my mouth after I had a one bite of taco. I think it was bone or some tooth in my tacos. Luckily, I did not swallow it, but it hurt my upper mouth.

La Conasupo is a haven for Mexican and Latin American immigrants. Like many immigrant businesses, their customer service is not up to fast food restaurants. Plus, if you don't speak Spanish you'll have to put on your patience-pants to get as close to what I know as a family-cooked meal. Tip: hit the cooler with drink containers of horchata, guayava, and jamaica. These are not powdered-made! Tip #2: pay up front AFTER you eat or receive your take-out. Tip #3: The one veggie we tried was the hongos (ie, mushroom) quesadilla. Well done and packed with lots of them.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food from Mexico City. this is the place to go to. Their food is amazing, very tasty and plentiful. Menudo or Consome with one of their carnitas or barbacoa tacos smothered with their super delicious green salsa on the weekend after a night of a few drinks is the best of the best! If you can get over the fact that you will be seating around a pile of empty boxes, unorganized shelf's, overcrowded isles, dirty floor and not the best customer service then you will have the best Authentic Mexican food.

I love the barbacoa (lamb) tacos here! The tacos are big and with lots of meat. Salsas are fresh and delicious!

The food is great but the employees are not following law regulations. They don't wear mask specials the man at the register I think he is the owner.

This place is derty, and they charge more than other places. Specially on beer. Need to be cleaned.

THIS is my best kept Seattle secret. Circa 2006, came here with a friend for "brunch". Now, when I say "brunch", it's not your typical sit down place, customize everything you want, add this, don't use that, speak in English etc. No, this is the most authentic Mexican brunch you will ever have in Seattle. I'm serious, the hot sauce is hotter than hot, there aren't any utensils (so yes, you make your taco by picking up the fresh, hot homemade corn tortilla, using that to scoop up the meat, add your cilantro, onions, chili's, and bite into the juiciest, most authentic, overstuffed taco (that's what you'll be when you leave) you will find in Seattle. The Sunday brunch crowd is mostly families that come after church to have a family meal. Amo este lugar. I love the atmosphere here, too. Such fun place to eat and practice your Spanish. Also, if you don't speak Spanish at least conversationally, you probably can't get food here. It's not impossible, but it's not optimal either and the menu is in full Spanish with no more than 5 items listed. Let me help you out! "Hola, Por favor cinco tacos de carne asada (yes you want five tacos) con cebolla, cilantro, salsa picante verde y rojo (yes you want both kinds, especially the avocado green salsa). Gracias". Also this place isn't veg friendly. You will thank me. Also, if you go on Saturday, try the consomme, barbacoa (it's slow roasted, shredded lamb), and tacos dorados with crispy tortillas wrapped around spicy chiles and potatoes.The quesadillas on house made tortillas are also sososososo good. Just EVERYTHING. Eat it all. Just FYI, "dorados" means "golden". You will not find better gold in taco format in Seattle ever. Drool. Drool. PS Buy the fresh adobo and chipotle chili's. Mmmmm! Me encanta este lugar a la luna y de regreso.

Went to have a bowl of menudo. Very delicious. Broth was well done. The meat was probably the best I've had in a long time anywhere. Tender and cut into properly sized pieces. Served with onions, cilantro, limes, and lots of corn tortillas. The place itself is half restaurant half market. The table next to me got a pound of barbacoa with some tortillas. Simple but looked amazing. That will be for next time. Staff was friendly. Spoke English just fine. Service was quick.

I went to eat here because I was told the barbacoa was great. But it was ok at best. The service left a lot to desire and the is nowhere to sit and wait for a table to open up. Oh and there's like 8 tables and u can barely move when you sit! Did I mention the waitresses were rude af!? Anyways the trip was not worth it.

Yikes.Went to the back to order some food...and while we were looking at their menu board some young woman who was mopping the floor started yelling at us: "Hellooo." "Helloooo..." I said hi, she muttered something in Spanish and said "helloooo" again. So I said "hello" AGAIN. And once more she chimed in with "Hellooo," like she was pissed off that we dared to be there looking at the menu. I said, "we're looking at the menu." She finally gave up with a grumpy face and retreated into the bowels of La Conasupo. At that point we decided to exit. Between the rude attitude and the dirty surroundings, we were glad to leave. Do yourself a treat and go around the corner to Gordito's. They treat you with dignity there and the place looked like someone cared....and the food at Gordito's was exceptional. Ciao La Conasupo!

Went there on Sunday afternoon food is delicious, and good portions we split one taco de carnitas and a quesadilla de chicharrón. The aguas frescas are sooooo tasty they have passion fruit and it was wow!!!!!! Extremely recommend if u wanna try to a good mexican food

This is the most authentic place in the city for Mexican market food, however its not welcoming.... most non Mexicans arrive and get intimidated and leave... my advice, it looks wired, but food is clean and delicious... give it a try

The nicest staff and best customer service. Will go above and beyond to get you what you need. We were making Mexican Rice and needed a tomato, onion, and garlic clove. He brought us them from the restaurant. Definitely go visit.

So. Much. Meat. Not a bad thing, but extra tortillas aren't a bad idea. Homemade red and green salsas on the tables. I got the carnitas and thought they were a little dry, but salsa definitely fixed that. The bigger market had a ton of mexican specialty items, including COWBOY BOOTS... made my day!

Their tacos were delicious and had an absurd amount of meat. One taco here is probably the equivalent of three tacos anywhere else. Also, each meat option I chose was cooked to perfection. I'm guessing they cook with lard because all the dishes were almost buttery and wonderfully succulent :^)

Best to go on a Saturday or Sunday when they serve Barbacoa!
