Taqueria La Fondita

Pictures don't do this burrito justice. It was way better than any chain restaurant I've been to and at a better price. We go out of our way to visit and enjoy it every time. My partner gets the tacos and loves them too.

We loved the meals here. Burrito carnitas- awesome! Pork tacos - outstanding. Every meal with a grilled jalapeño; and both flavors of salsa. We shall return. A lot. And if you’re at Greenlake, eat here. After a swim with the family. Chilling at the park - eat here. Fast service. Kind service. Best for last - ridiculously low prices.

I tried this place one sunny afternoon, craving carne asada tacos. Wow, did they deliver! The tacos come LOADED with juicy meat nuggets (none of that dry stuff!), garnished with grilled onion and hot pepper. The service is super fast, and there's a fantastic shaded patio to hang out on (two tables, each with two benches). There is easy access right off Aurora Ave N, with ample parking if you drive and a bus stop literally right next to it. If you're in North Seattle but you wish your mouth was in Mexico, stop by Taqueria La Fondita!

Over exceeded my expectations. I got the spicy beef burrito as well as the chicken burrito and horchata to drink. The horchata was delicious and perfect for a nice and sunny summer day in Seattle. The burritos hit the spot. If you are looking to support a small and local Mexican business than definitely check out La Fondita!

Its an old school taco wagon, the food is excellent. The street tacos are great, the portions are good and the people friendly, The food is so good I went back at night to get pics for this review!

3 taco plate - SO Good! I'll definitely be back. There's also a few tables to sit and eat if you're on the go.

I quit going to this place for a long time because the rice started sucking, the meat started sucking and the service always sucked. Came back today after a year or so and WOW my socks blew off. The rice is back to home made style grandma's recipe. The taco meat was delicious. I want to give them all a kiss, so proud of them.

Nestled discreetly on the corner of the street, this unassuming Mexican restaurant is a hidden treasure worth discovering. Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you, because behind those doors lies a haven of delectable Mexican cuisine. It's clear that the flavors here are crafted with passion and authenticity, likely stemming from a cherished family recipe. The standout dish that steals the show is the spicy pork burrito. It's a culinary masterpiece, combining tender and succulent pork with a tantalizing level of spice that ignites the taste buds. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that leaves you craving more. Seating is limited to just two outdoor tables, accommodating up to six guests. While the cozy outdoor ambiance adds a charming touch, it's important to note that they don't offer tap water. However, the attentive and friendly staff make up for any minor inconveniences. If you're in search of a Mexican food experience that goes beyond the ordinary, this restaurant is a must-visit. Prepare to indulge in mouthwatering dishes that will transport you straight to the heart of Mexico.

This place has the best champurrado I've ever had!! The tacos and salsas are also pretty good and worth the value, also the employees here are awesome!!

Staff was friendly, good location and a good amount of parking in front. I always love coming to new taco trucks (new to me) and giving them a try. My tacos were tasty, I'd rate them about an 8/10. They were just a bit bland honestly, but overall still pretty solid! Prep time was quick and they were reasonably priced. :)

Best tacos in Seattle! Their tacos de tripa were outstanding! Very authentic flavors.

Amazing taco truck in greenwood. The carnitas are actually crispy, the chicken is tender and the burrito plate is massive. The staff is super friendly. There's plenty of parking - this is a must stop if you're in the neighborhood.

This is my new favorite taco truck! The food comes out extremely quickly after ordering. They are open on Sundays and are available for delivery which a ton of places are not! Their meats are seasoned really well and their rice and beans are so good. This is my carne asada burrito plate (no sour cream requested) and it was so good. Have come back already in 1 week!

Hidden mexican food gem in Seattle, If you're in the greenwood area and are craving mexican food, I would totally recommend this place! I got the Asada mulitas and fish taco.Comes with a good amount of toppings and sauces. This place is a food truck-- there are 2 tables outside, and an open gravel lot for parking.

I got four tacos - chicken (5/5 stars), beef, pulled pork (2.5/5 stars - too wet and too much fat), and spicy pork. I was impressed and will be back again!

The pork burrito had very little flavor. Service was fine. I had sticker shock, the sign said $5 but it ended up being $17 with guacamole. Suggested tip was 25%. The burrito was big, but the carnitas were overcooked and so was the rice.

We drove past this truck on our way to a coffee shop in Greenwood so I knew I had to get at least one thing from here. I got a Four Tacos plate with carnitas, lengua, fish, and carne asada. They were all amazing! The meat/fish were cooked and seasoned perfectly. I'd love to go back here and try their other food items!

Great food, fast and delicious. Great authentic flavor. Comes with salsa and pickled veggies. Some of the best tacos in North Seattle.

There is no reason a food from a taco truck should be this damn expensive, the taco truck my greenlake shell is 10 times better, has wonderful service, and way better prices, don't go to this bs new taco truck at crack head central, go to El Naranjo at greenlake

Originally, I wanted to order tripa tacos, but they were pretty pricey for each taco (about $3.50 each). Instead, I ended up ordering the 5 adobada tacos with a soda. They were delicious! Service was good and quick. Seating outdoors, but happy that there was under a patio awning, so I was able to stay out of the rain.

Good spot to get your taco fix. We ordered tacos (cabeza, tripa , Al pastor, carnitas, and asada), mulita, and an Al pastor burrito. I wish the tripas was a bit crispier, but definitely something I can ask for next time. The tacos were decent enough to fulfill my tacos fix, but I wouldn't come back for it unless I was in the area. The folks were decent in terms of service - lady definitely had an attitude lol. Not located in the most lavish area so be aware of your surroundings here.

MY GO TO MEXICAN FOOD PLACE! i love their steak tacos, horchata and even the kids plate. good amount of meat inside their dishes and they're fast paced and efficient. it is an outdoor taqueria so better to order togo if it is cold outside.

Sadly no longer our go to. Our regular go to order was very inconsistent for a period of time but as of late, it has been consistently mediocre. Examples: over half carnitas taco being a giant piece of fat, short on meat fillings, no onions/cilantros on tacos, less seasoned, etc. Whatever these guys were doing last yr, I hope they bring it back!!

We had the 5 taco special and got Fried Pork, Beef, and Chicken. It's a great price, and the tacos are okay! Will come back if I'm looking for a quick cheap eat at night

The tacos are good, but the enchiladas are even better. We ordered their carne asada and pollo tacos, and pollo enchiladas. The rice that comes with the enchilada plate is addicting. The pollo tacos were our favorite of the 2, since the carne asada was overcooked. Love the ladies who work there, and that the price point is super affordable. There's a small parking area off of 90th so you can easily pick up and go. Even if you order there, you barely have to wait. They craft their own tortillas as well, which make for fluffy canvases for these tacos! Next time we'll try their burritos as others have commented how great they are. However, love that they're here and if you're in South Seattle, try their original White Center location!

Service was fast! Food was AMAZING! They went above and beyond - they even drew a picture on my son's food box with a smiley face letting him know that it contained exactly what he ordered.

Taco trucks up and down Aurora/Hwy99 from the Seattle - Shoreline - Edmonds - Lynnwood corridor are plentiful. Reliable pro tip, look for the ones with a line or 4 or 5 stars on Yelp. Taqueria La Fondita is by a Metro Rapid Line E stop is a quasi sketchy area of Aurora. But TLF does have quite the menu variety. This visit is from 5/26/21, posted 8/22/21. I opted for a taco plate that included added grilled items, salsa, and pickled veg, plus a much appreciated Sprite on this warm day. Tasty and decent bang for the buck. It's added on a return visit if I'm in the vicinity.

Called ahead to order, got there 8 minutes later and my order was ready. The setup is nice, with a spacious gravel lot (enough room for maybe 4-6 cars), and a deck in front of the truck. Plenty of space to wait for your order. I ordered the $1.99 burrito special (pollo, carnitas, or Adobada). They have 3 salsas and little baggies of pickled veggies. Some places are pretty stingy with the condiments/sides, but Taqueria la Fondita is not! They asked how many I wanted and gave me a generous amount. The burritos themselves (I ordered chicken and carnitas) are pretty small, but still a great deal for $1.99. The burritos are simple but tasty, I saw rice, meat, and pico de Galla salsa - not sure what else is in them. Of the salsas, my favorite was the spiciest one (darker red) one - it had a slight smokiness and a bit more flavor than the other two

Yes yes yes! Si si si! I just scarfed down 4 carne asada tacos and they were the best! I would go back tonight just so I can try something else on their menu. Authentic, delicious and fresh! Food came out very quickly. They have one picnic table on the deck for outdoor dining.

I've been to the White Center location whenever I'm in the south end, so happy they have a permanent truck up north now! Tacos hit the spot, they have a crazy $1.99 burrito promotion that I'm guessing is more a grand opening special. Super fresh ingredients, carnitas were delish, fast kind service.

This has become my go to taco place. I haven't been to the original in White Center, but this is conveniently located on Aurora, and is on my way to/from work. The lengua is excellent. Carne asada, adobada and carnitas are also good. Salsa is pretty good. Friendly staff, never really have to wait and plenty of parking. Definitely in my top 5 taco places in Seattle.

Outstanding food, great prices, a small place, but would definitely return and wait for seating if necessary!!!

Best pork tacos around! The only thing I would not get again was the shrimp tostadas. Fast service. Very popular.

I was a little surprised to see no cilantro since other photos have it. Luckily, I have cilantro at home and was able to cut some. The beans were a little on the saltier side. They didn't include lime, I guess I should have asked for that. Besides all that, the tacos were decent and had a good portion of meat.

Absolutely the worst food truck I've ever been to. I thought my poor first experience may have been a one off, so I tried going back and, I kid you not, they were only offering one thing from the entirety of the menu and it was fish. Will not be going back.

This place is incredible. So fast and delicious. Thank you!! Not the best location in terms of ambiance but honestly who cares

The food was tasty, everything was very flavorful. The Horchata was perfect, I'm very impressed with it - layered flavors, the perfect amount of cinnamon, and not overly sweet. We got the 5 taco special with Spicy Pork, 2 Horchatas to drink, the Pork Carnita Quesadillas, and the Chile Relleno meal with beans and rice. This is probably the first time in almost 10 years that both my husband and I completely forgot to inquire about Gluten-Free options. I think we were both thrown off by the fact that it is raining really hard tonight and we could barely hear them speaking to us through the pouring rain. We are also both unusually tired; it's been an especially long week and we've worked even harder than usual this week, which is saying a lot since we are both very hard workers. So, I'm praying I don't flare really badly. I ate almost none of any of the tortillas, which appear to be flour-based. If I do flare, we have no one to blame except for ourselves! (Gluten has the potential to cause a very painful flare-up of my medical condition.) Because it was raining so hard, we were not going to be eating our dinner outdoors, so we got take-out. We live pretty close to this location, only about a 15-minute drive away. However, my husband, who is extremely hard to please (trust me, I know... he always says that he likes it that I have "high standards", but his own standards are stratospheric really... if he was an active yelper he'd probably give almost every place 1, 2, or 3 stars!), complained that his Horchata was just "okay," his quesadillas didn't have enough cheese in them, and that the food was practically cold by the 15 minutes that it took for us to get it home. (It wasn't warm; I'll give him that.) We were super hungry when we got home and we didn't want to go back out, so I was sort of digging in the quesadillas and the tacos to get the filling out, trying not to get much (if any) of the tortillas. We ended up sharing both meals and the one appetizer. I had requested the spicy pork tacos and my husband had requested the pork carnita quesadillas, but I liked the texture and the flavor of the pork carnita quesadillas much better than the flavor and the texture of the spicy pork. I love pulled pork, and the texture of the pork carnita quesadillas was pretty similar to that. I am a little bit confused by my spicy pork taco meal. The filling itself is quite fresh and flavorful, but it isn't "spicy" really at all, by itself. But when I unthinkingly (I guess we're really not thinking today!) took a HUGE bite of the pepper, I almost immediately regretted it. It pretty much practically burned my mouth off, haha. I ate literally almost the entire pepper in one bite; I can usually handle spicy peppers pretty well (unless they're habaneros or something 4-5 stars+, in which case, no thank you). However, this pepper was the exception to that rule. My mouth was in pain for about 10 minutes as I decided which things to drink in order to calm it down (water definitely didn't cut it; the horchata helped a little bit; we live on 100% fresh-pressed cherry juice and we always have some in our fridge, and that actually cut the pain a lot, finally). I would go again and I would recommend this place. If I went again, I would take tiny bites of the pepper and eat bites of the pork tacos along with those tiny bites of the pepper, which would most likely make the tacos delightfully and tolerably spicy. If I went again, I would also remember to check Gluten-Free options.

It's a SOLID 5 stars for me! I have been eyeing in this little food truck near my place and wanting to try for a while. Was a bit skeptical at first since it's in a plot of land right beside Aurora. But it's always been busy and have a lot of customers all the time, so decided to gave it a shot today. I was soooo excited to see sope on the menu since it's not a common item for Mexican restaurants in Seattle. The food taste soooo fresh and tasted really great. I love how they gave grilled jalapeños with all the plates and their sauce are prefect to pair with tacos too. I am definitely coming here for every lunch from now on.

Stopped here on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised! Got 3 carne asada tacos + rice and beans (the #1). The rice and beans were super flavorful and the tacos were really solid! More of a take-out spot than sit down, but we did make use of their picnic table. We moved to Seattle from LA a few years ago and have been on the hunt for a go-to tacqueria since - think this could be it!

$3 for a tiny taco I spent almost $20 got 5 tiny tacos a decent burrito and a Jarritos. Wouldn't buy the tacos again. Ridiculous for the money. Burrito is only thing worth getting here. Tacos soaked the plate and my hands with oil Tacos didn't even come with a slice of lime or radish.

Great tacos! The tortillas seem to be handmade and not store bought, which is rare to find taco trucks who do this anymore. Their service is quick and they have a cute outdoor patio for dining.

Carnitas taco was decent. Chicken & carne asada tacos were ok. Cashier and workers were rude. Another customer got a plastic cup of water, so my husband politely asked for water as well. The worker told him they only have bottled water for $2 plus tax and gave him attitude. We got 7 tacos and a coke, not sure why water in a plastic cup wouldn't be free. The food alone isn't worth it for us. We live close by but we won't be coming back.

I go here all the time and it's almost like LA. Tacos, burritos, chimichangas, all great. Lots of construction workers IYKYK. The only shortcoming is the quesadillas. They tend to be light on cheese, heavy on meat. Otherwise it's my go-to taco place in the area, and it's open til 10.

Everyone knows you're supposed to get lime with your tacos! First meal of the day & even if I was hungry, I can still tell this tasted horrible. No grilled onion, carrots, lime, some tacos have no onion w/ cilantro, and some parts of the meat/tortilla wasn't warm. Taste a bit rubber like the tortilla was already warmed and they just reheat it. Same with the tripas. Some taco's protein parts were also cold. We tried tripas, cabeza, adobada, lengua, and carnitas. So sad, bland, and very bad. Usually a taco place has a specialty in their protein, this one: none. I've never been so disappointed in a taco place. I will never come back and even if this was the nearest street taco truck. I would never imagine I'd dislike a taco place.

I tried this place one sunny afternoon, craving carne asada tacos. Wow, did they deliver! The tacos come LOADED with juicy meat nuggets (none of that dry stuff!), garnished with grilled onion and hot pepper. The service is super fast, and there's a fantastic shaded patio to hang out on (two tables, each with two benches). There is easy access right off Aurora Ave N, with ample parking if you drive and a bus stop literally right next to it. If you're in North Seattle but you wish your mouth was in Mexico, stop by Taqueria La Fondita!

The best Mexican food truck in Seattle hands down. They go above and beyond with their portions, quality and pricing. Other food trucks/ restaurants do not compare to the authenticity and deliciousness of this place. Gracias Taqueria La Fondita!!

The food is just good. That's it. Just good food every time. Also they are very friendly and answer all my dumb questions.

We were driving by and we were hungry so we popped in and ordered some chimichangas and they were really good, their guacamole was sooo good!!! The people inside were so nice and were really good at serving and asking us what we wanted. Thank you for the really good food and service!!

I love this place!! We live 2 blocks away, so we walk over at least once a week. The combo carnitas plate is phenomenal and great portion size. I'm a fan of the $2 burrito also, you really cannot complain about these. They're decent size and tasty. Because I love this place so much, we actually used them to cater my bridal shower this past weekend. Technically I don't think they do catering (they should) but they allowed us to place an order for 20 people the day before. We organized it on platters, but all guests were super impressed. I hope this place stays around forever!!

Good food, service and standards leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered two tostada de camaron to go. I heard the ladies say camaronto each other multiple times so I know they heard me right. When I got home I realized instead of shrimp they gave me a container of beans. I was pretty darn annoyed since I had to drive back 15 minutes to get it resolved. When I got there, no apologies just a lot of sass and disbelief from the workers. Furthermore, no one wore masks :/

This place is great! My husband and I are always trying to find awesome Mexican places and this one fits the bill. Service was quick and they were very nice, and the tacos were delicious! We will definitely be back.

Do not waste your time or money on this place. The food is something less than mediocre and it is served lukewarm. The prices are insulting. The attitude of the staff is not worth tolerating. The location is swarming with tweekers and prostitutes. Nothing good to say about it.

Flavorless carne asada. My tacos tasted like old and burnt meat. We might as well have gone to a restaurant with how expensive their food is. So disappointed they call themselves Mexican food.

Delicious authentic quality Mexican cuisine. The best refried beans I've ever had. The carne asada tacos are amazing. Giant burritos.

Just got served carne asada that must have been warmed up for the 10th time. Meat was char black and covered with char from the grill also was dryer than jerky. Returned for my money back asked the chef if he wanted a bite and quickly refunded my money.

Spent $50 on carne asada, 4 tacos and a burrito. The food was horrible and the meat was chewy and the dog wouldn't even eat it. Total rip off.

I'm pretty reluctant when eating at food trucks but it's sort of a norm here in the city. I've been here 4 times and haven't had any complaints. The food is very good and well seasoned. The prices and specials are good. Definitely one of my go to spots for a quick bite. The carnitas are very good wether on tacos or a burrito. I had the carne asada and chicken and these options are very tasty as well. Good service at the window also makes for a good experience. I would definitely recommend this spot!
