Wow! Based on its outside appearance, this is a spot that I normally wouldn't even notice, but it turned out to be a gem! Thanks to Yelp and Google, I saw that this restaurant had high ratings and was voted "best lunch special" from 2012-2022. Their mission is to serve affordable smoked meats to the Port Angeles area. These days when prices are constantly on the rise, it's amazing to find places like these that have such delicious food at a reasonable cost.
This restaurant has some of the most unique decor I've ever seen with hanging skeletons, masks and posters adorning the walls which were painted bold orange, red and green. They also have a stage for live music. I felt a little out of place, but of course they welcome everyone. As my family walked in, we were immediately greeted with a smile by one staff member who took our orders at the counter.
Their menu mainly features tacos, burritos and sandwiches filled with their smoked meats. These items come with a side of the tortilla chips and your choice of salsa ranging from very mild (tomato) to hot (ghost pepper). My sister was on the fence between two of the salsas and the cashier kindly included a cup of each for her at no extra cost. After a few minutes, he brought us our order and we took it back to our cottage.
I got the LITTLE DEVIL'S TACOS which includes three tacos and the chips & salsa for only $10! What a steal! They have several meat options and some of them do cost a tad extra, but not by much. I selected my first with smoked pork, second with beer can chicken and third with shredded beef (extra $0.50). The shredded beef was my favorite as it was so succulent and nicely seasoned. The smoked pork didn't taste too smoky, but it was lean and not fatty... just how I like it! I enjoyed the chicken as well which was tender and juicy. All tacos came topped with lettuce, cheese, sour cream and tomato salsa. Every bite was delicious!
For the salsa, I loved their medium Verde one. It was super herby, garlicky and fresh with a slight sweetness. So so good! If you prefer more spice, try the Chupacabra... their smokey chipotle habanero blend. It has a strong kick, but is extremely addicting.
My parents both liked their burritos, which were huge and stuffed. Additionally, I was impressed with how perfectly they executed my sister's order after she made quite a few customizations with her tacos. Our meal at Little Devil's Lunchbox turned out to be one of my favorites on our trip. Give it a try if you're nearby!
