"White Center’s popular food truck (with two locations near each other) serves many great tacos, but the beef tongue stands out. The little cubes in each tortilla are like tasty little juice sponges. And each melty bite mixed with nicely contrasting pieces of white onion is a strongly worded note to carnitas and al pastor that they’re officially on notice." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
"Have you ever walked by a Starbucks and then immediately walked by another Starbucks? This scenario also plays out at Taqueria La Fondita #1 and Taqueria La Fondita #2, duplicate taco trucks within a two-block radius—only they serve horchata and excellent tacos instead of burnt coffee and cake pops. The adobada is tender, with fatty pieces melting into crispy pork bites, and the carne asada has a strong char that seals in the meat’s flavor like a padlock. Before a walk through White Center Heights Park, hit either location." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

This scenario plays out at Taqueria La Fondita and Taqueria La Fondita #2, duplicate taco trucks within a two-block radius—only they make horchata and great tacos instead of burnt coffee and cake pops. The adobada is tender, with fatty pieces melting into crispy pork bites, and the carne asada has a smoky crust that seals in the meat’s flavor like a padlock. Go to either location before a walk through White Center Heights Park—both have a couple of picnic tables set up in case you want to relax for a bit." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"With all of the changes taking place in White Center, Taqueria La Fondita is a comforting mainstay that serves excellent renditions of the classics: tacos, crunchy taquitos rancheros, generously packed burritos, and enchiladas smothered in sauce and oozing with cheese. The lengua tacos here also hit the spot. As a bonus, many of the orders come out with a piquant combination of a grilled onion and serrano peppers. The horchata offers the right soothing blend of cinnamon and sugar to cool down any overheated taste buds." - Jenise Silva
