Xochi

I’ve driven by this place a million times since I’ve lived in Issaquah for the last five years and never thought to stop, it’s very unassuming, but recently saw their write up in the Seattle Met magazine and figured I would stop in for a quick lunch. The tacos are REALLY good. I got the steak and chicken. They are definitely elevated from the average taco truck. But what really made me write this review was the tortillas they are using, I’m not sure if they’re making them or what but they were nice and crispy on the outside but still soft like you would expect from a street taco it was really nice to complement the fillings. Staff was super nice and while I was waiting, I saw them helping people who had questions about the menu. Definitely will be back when I need a quick bite on the go.

Best tacos I’ve had in the greater Seattle area! They make it fresh so it was still hot when we got home to eat them. Both the corn tortillas and the fillings were delicious and portions were generous. They are a bit spicy, so beware if you’re not into spicy food.

Wow. I am a total taco snob and have judged a lot of tacos harshly. This is hands down the best steak taco I’ve ever had. The flavor, texture, portion size, slight crispiness of the outer tortilla, toppings… everything was perfect. The service was amazing for considering I came by in the middle of lunch hour. The taking my order, took the time to make sure I understood what I was ordering and would be satisfied which I really appreciate. I expected that I would get my food and eat in my car, but after seeing their seating area, I felt compelled to stay. This is next to a busy road, but they set up the tables in a quaint little area behind the cart that isolates you from the road. Highly recommend this cart and will definitely be back!

Amazing tacos on the east side! Their location is easy to find. I usually try to limit myself to four tacos at most places, but these were so good that I had to get five instead. The entire staff was so courteous, and I can tell they were putting so much work into everything too. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re on the east side and are in the mood for some good tacos.

I think this is the best taco I've ever had in WA. I've already come here twice this week. A little bit pricey but worth it for super delicious tacos. Everything about this place is great! I really love all the veggie options. Highly recommend!!

Hands-down, the best tacos I have found on the Eastside. A bit pricey at $5/taco, but they do load up the tacos, and they are so yummy that you will forget about the price and be going back again. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. Do yourself a favor and try this place out, you won’t regret it.

Excellent tacos! Not your average street tacos. Extremely flavorful and unique combos. Love a taco truck that can nail a vegetarian taco.

Food is really good! Tastes homemade and fresh. Atmosphere is really cozy around the food truck. People are nice, and it's worth the wait.

I was looking through Yelp for somewhere fast to eat in Issaquah and stumbled upon Xochi. It has pretty great reviews and for good reason. Xochi is located in a little parking lot shared with another little cafe cart that sells coffee and baked goods. When I stopped by on a random afternoon for lunch, there was a huge crowd of customers gathered around the Xochi cart. The lady working the register was super smiley and friendly. It was obvious she loves working here and it motivated me to buy more so great job to her. I decided on 4 tacos: the one with peppers, the one with Brussels sprouts, pork with pickled red onions and the beef. Of all 4, I liked the pepper one the most. They were all delicious, but I'd go back for the pepper one for sure. And I got that one thinking I wouldn't like it. Strange. The tacos were served hot after about a 15 minute wait. The fresh cheese and different robust flavors of the tacos really paired well and I found myself enjoying every bite. There was a lot of filling in each one too, because I was skeptical of the price when I was ordering and then understood why they were so expensive once I started eating. These tacos are filling and in the future, if I came for lunch, really 3 tacos is my max.

Good, modern tacos served in a food truck off of Gilman in Issaquah. When I went, it was on a Wednesday and it is an observed holiday, but they were open, so it looks like it is as crowded as a Saturday. I went around 12:15pm and it took about 5 min to order but another 30 minutes exact to get the order, so be prepared to wait. Tacos were above average but a lot of the experience went down because they used to do the combo to try more variety but now they only offer large tacos, so you are forced to only be able to get 2-3 kinds and be full and have to come back, a luxury that a lot don't have. I got the cochinita pibil and encebollados from the meat options, and the bruselas from the vegetarian options. By doing so, I make do with the variety on hand and get to try how they do the meat and vegetarian options. The tacos come with various toppings, like pickled onions from the cochinita pibil and feta from bruselas (brussels sprouts). I liked the brussels sprouts and encebollados the most, as the cochinita pibil was a bit on the salty side. I'd say this is a good spot, but it is overhyped so don't bother going for lunch but rather at an off time.

Um...HELLO!!! The most flavorful and delicious taco I've had in a while. The carne/steak taco was my favorite, and I could eat 10 if I could. Some outdoor seating and chairs to sit in while waiting for take-out or staying to eat.

I just came here for my third time and it was even better. They do yummy and unique street tacos very well. I got the chicken Tinga and the chorizo/potato street tacos. My order came out pretty quick. I was there around 12:30 on Thursday. But right after I ordered there was a line up of about 8 people. The gal that took my order gave good recommendations but I think everything is good. Note that this is a food truck experience but it's a truck that isn't going anywhere I don't think it has wheels . 2 tacos are perfect for a avg person. They have about 3 outdoor tables and benches to sit on so you can eat there on a nice day. Sorry I forgot to take photos of my food. I was pretty hungry.

Wow, of the ~20 places I have had tacos at in the Seattle area, this is the third place I'm excited to return to! I loved the two I tried - the tinga (chicken with chipotle sauce, feta, and sour cream) and the cochinita pibl (pork in a chipotle sauce). Each taco was $5 and while they are small, I doubt that J could finish 3 tacos for one meal. I can't wait to come back and try their other tacos!

This food truck installation is amazingly good. I'm from southern CA and lived in Southern Mexico for a while and these are very good tacos. Also they have really good vegetarian tacos; the Brusselas are a favorite. There is limited outdoor seating (not safe from the rain) but it's quiet despite being right off of Gilman. Service is fast (~5min).

Amazing. It's the perfect mix between street tacos and restaurant versions in that they are flavorful without trying too hard to be a "fancy taco." I got three tacos which I recommend as a portion size unless you're particularly hungry. These tacos are full! I got the cochinita pibil, encebollados, and rajas which were all delicious. The meat ones are juicy and have the perfect balance of flavors from the pickles or onions, while the vegetarian option I got (rajas) had plenty of kick from the smokiness and sauce. The wait can be kind of long but it means your tacos are made fresh to order and come out piping hot. They have a few tables you can eat at but there's always an option to eat in your car since you'll be parked super close.

THE BEST TACOS!! EVER!! I made a quick trip to Issaquah and did not have time for a sit down restaurant. Saw this place, food looked good and it was a food truck so I thought perfect! Quick in and out! Anyhow, Great service, nice place out back to sit, relax and enjoy the food and the tacos. Everyone loves Taco's, but these take it to another level. The flavors are awesome, I tried four including one veggie and everything was world class, plus, they had a nice bit of heat to them too! Seriously though, there are a few restaurants that I have come across in my time that I long to go back to, Red Bar in Grayson Beach, etc and this place is not on my list of top 10 restaurants; yep they are that good! Give it a whirl, I can almost guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Xochi is a food truck located in a small parking lot in Issaquah. I've heard high marks about this place and I've been trying to find my Seattle taco spot so I wanted to try it out for lunch. Unfortunately they no longer have the taco combo where you can buy five smaller tacos, but I still wanted to sample as many as possible. Their single tacos are $4.98 each and are bigger than the size of the taco combo ones, and I ended up trying all five of the meat options. TINGA - I thought this was just okay. It was juicy but not super flavorful. 3/5 ENCEBOLLADOS - This was very flavorful and had a nice char to it. There was no sauce but it didn't need it. 5/5 CHICHARRÓN - This was pretty interesting; chicharrón is normally crunchy but it had a weird texture now that it was soft. It was spicy and had good flavor but the texture was a bit off for me. 3.5/5 COCHINITA PIBIL - This was a simpler taco and I liked the pickled red onions but it was just okay. 3.5/5 CHORIZO - There was good flavor in this taco and I liked the addition of the potato. This one was good. 4/5 Of all the ones I tried my favorites were the encebollados and the chorizo. Some of them had really good flavors which even made me intrigued by their veggie tacos. The larger-sized tacos made up for the $5 cost and these were pretty good.

Since moving to Seattle I've been on the hunt for chicharron tacos. The soft melt in your mouth kind. Well Yelp Washington posted a video about Xochi and so when i went to their page the first post was one of the chicharron tacos i was looking for!! So I shared with hubby and we went immediately. OHMYGAWD. Why are y'all gate keeping Xochi? I mean I get it. The tacos are everything. Made fresh to order and expect a wait. Ours was 30 minutes but luckily I read some reviews on Yelp and was prepared for said wait. It was the perfect day on our visit so we are able to sit with some sun and shade in the picnic area next to the truck. I was told that they had combination plate with 5 tacos for $15.00 but on our visit today they did not. Only single tacos for $4.95 each. To note, when I asked about the combination plate the young lady said that 3 single tacos would equal the same amount of food for five smaller tacos on the combination plate and be the same price. So me and my man went with 4 each. Between us we had chicharron x 5, encebollados x 2, and one cochinta pibil. The young lady asked if we knew what the chicharron tacos were. I said yes, I saw the photo on their IG page. And she said a lot of people think they are crunchy and hard. I said oh no, we know. We've been on the hunt for these since we moved out here. Anyways, let me stop rambling. Every taco was made with love. You can taste it. My man wanted to order more but the wait time deterred him. However, now that we know - we will be back!

30 min wait but worth. Chorizo y papas and poblano cream were the best, hands down. The others were okay but not so flavorful or loaded outside of the meat for toppings. They're $5 each, double wrapped.

Great flavors and generous portions. Price just right. Staff very friendly. We will definitely be back for more.

This was a great spot to grab lunch after a hike at Rattlesnake Ledge! I was excited for the tacos and Xochi satisfied my cravings! They have meat and veggie taco options. I got the combo, which includes 5 tacos of choice. I picked the Encebollados (steak and sautéed onions, Tinga (chicken in a chipotle sauce), Chicharron(pork rinds in a spicy tomato sauce, and Calabazas (zucchini, corn, tomato) taco. The tacos were delicious and filling.

These are solid tacos! $5/taco. We tried all the meat ones and then Rajas for veggie. They're all good, but the ones I would get again are: pork grinds, steak, and pork (in order of preference). The flavors in each were amazinggg! The least flavorful was the chicken. My husband really enjoyed the Rajas, but hard for me to compare with the meat ones. I would try another veggie one next time + repeat the 3 meat tacos I liked. There are a few picnic tables that you can utilize. Saturday 12:30pm - 40 min wait for 6 tacos. I'd come back but need to find a better strategy around the wait time. Plan your visit accordingly!

We go here once a week or so for lunch. They don't have an extensive menu but they offer "combo" where you can buy five small tacos with different flavors. The carnivores options are delicious but this is where I've had the best vegetarian tacos. My favorite is poblanos.

Best vegetarian tacos in the area! Have been here 2-4 times and food is always amazing! Worth the wait!

Price: $ Favorites: Tinga de pollo, cochinita pibil Tips: Get the combo for five different tacos at a better rate! Hidden in an unsuspecting parking lot and available during a five-hour lunch window, some of the best tacos on the Eastside are easy to miss. I've lived in Issaquah my whole life and only went to Xochi for the first time recently. Walking up to the colorful chalkboard menu, I was delighted to see abundant meat and vegetarian options, as well as the five-taco combo. I tried all the meat options and plan to try several vegetarian ones next time. The flavors reminded me of some of my favorite taco places in Los Angeles, and the meat preparations were classic. I especially liked the spicy marinated pork and chicken with achiote and chipotle, respectively. I wish it were spicier! The flavor combinations are inventive yet traditional, and I appreciate that the chefs keep the menu simple and true to what they love to cook. Tinga de Pollo - This was my favorite taco, as the spicy sauce had a sour aftertaste that the chicken took on well. Cochinita Pibil - I loved the combination of spicy pork and pickled onion. The acidity provided a nice punch that accentuated the flavors of the sauce. Chicharron - The server warned us that these weren't the crispy chicharrones people typically envision, but I'm glad I tried them regardless. The pork rinds soaked up the sauce nicely, like bread sopping up broth, but the texture likely isn't for everyone. Chorizo and Potato - This taco is the best of breakfast! The crispy bits of potato were a nice complement to the sausage. Steak and Onion - This one was a little bit dry and less flavorful, but still had a nice, savory taste.

VEGAN REVIEW!! 1/11/23: I attempted yesterday to stop by but they respectfully said the wait could vary from 25-30 mins. I didn't have that much time left on my lunch break so I said, "I'll try again tomorrow." And boy am I glad I did! This place cured the taco cravings I've been having the last couple of days. In the span of 10-15 minutes, I ordered and got my tacos (quick). I ordered the Bruselas, Papas and Brocoli. All 3 were delicious. I think the Brocoli was actually my favourite out of the 3. To me, it was a bit spicier than the other two. Idk if there was more of their hot sauce on those particular tacos, but they definitely had more kick! The Brocoli wasn't mushy nor hard like you grabbed a piece freshly out the bag. Same with the papas and Brussels sprouts. All of the veggies were the perfect level of soft and I didn't feel like I was eating mush. 10/10 Glad I found this place. Now I have somewhere intriguing to check out when I work in the area.

Love these poblano tacos. Can be fiery but so delicious & authentic. I didn't take any pics this time cause I had to get it into my mouth! Excellent taste.

Are you Yelpers all high, or are you just all fake accounts?!? This place is not worth the hype or the wait. Super bland and boring. Thanks for nothing.

The best tacos in Issaquah and quite possibly the Eastside. I've been eating tacos at Xochi for several years now and I'm so happy this little taco stand finally got the notoriety it deserves. The tacos are not your ordinary street tacos. Each one is unique and to be honest, the veggie tacos might be better than the meat tacos. Coming from a Tyrannosaurus Rex like myself, that's a big statement coming from me. I always like to order the Combo Tacos, which allows me to choose 5 tacos to try. My top 4 have to be the Rajas (Poblano Peppers), Chicharron, Cochinita Pibil (Pork), and the Bruselas (Brussel Sprouts with carrots and garlic). Each taco has such a unique bite. I don't know how many times I've ordered the Combo Tacos, but once in a while, I'll order the regular size tacos. When that's the case, 3 is more than enough. I just love going to Xochi for a lunch break. If you're in Issaquah, this is one of the spots to grab a bite. The people in the food stand are super nice. I will never say no to these tacos.

What can I say about Xochi that hasn't already been said. It's better than restaurant quality food coming out of a trailer. The staff is wonderful and always let you know a completion time for your order and they're spot on 98% of the time. My favorites are the tinga chicken taco, the papas taco, and the rajas taco. The pork anchiote belongs on that list too. So glad I have this close by to work!

I had heard about this place from a friend and decided to try it out when I was in the area. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and there was no one waiting outside the truck, the window was closed, and I wondered if they were even open. They were, and despite looking like no one was around, they told me the wait would be an hour. We weren't starving so we decided to go for it, and ordered a mix of veggie and meat tacos to try. We left, came back about 45 minutes later, just as our number was called. The tacos were so hot and fresh, and each was flavorful and delicious. They weren't super large, so one hungry person could probably eat five, but we split. I definitely want to come back and try more tacos, but would call ahead next time and plan better. The one thing preventing me from giving it five stars was that there's no follow up system regarding your order status (like a text message). It just seems old-fashioned to have to hang out by the truck and wait to hear your number called. But otherwise - delicious food and decent pricing!

Authentic delicious tacos! I wish they were open longer in the day because I would eat here more frequently. It's typically a long wait because people line up before the cart is open, but definitely worthwhile.

This is a really cool and unique spot with extremely friendly service. The tacos are different from anything I've ever had before with playful and inventive flavors albeit not quite authentic. I think that if you're looking for something really interesting and new and don't mind waiting a bit for your food, this is a great spot!

It's unique and flavorful food, not quite something you can find anywhere else around here. Pretty spicy too if you're into that. Downsides are small portion sizes (I guess you have to order a lot of small tacos) and sometimes it takes a long time to wait for your food.

Stellar chicken tacos!!! Sooo much better than a competitor's I tried because it was open on Sunday, and this place is not. But it's well worth the wait if you happen to discover their truck across from Big O Tires in Issaquah on a weekday for lunch, etc.

I did not know it was a food truck until we arrived there. I knew it's good when there were many people waiting. They have two tables there and it's a nice day for eating outside like picnic with good tacos. We ordered a combo! And I must say please get that! You get to try all of their signature meat tacos and they are tasty. No wonder they get top 100 in US for tacos! I personally loved the steak taco!! It paired with onion! I personally not a huge fan of the chicken with tomato sauce one but my bf loves it, so it's definitely the personal preference and they did make it so good. It's my first time trying pork grid it's interesting not really my thing, but they seasoned it so well and the spice is flavorful. We are definitely going back if we are near that area!

Xochi is the number one spot on Yelp's Eastside must-eats list. Heck yeah! I had Xochi bookmarked for the longest time and until I saw the list, it finally encouraged me to check out this wonderful taco truck in Issaquah. My colleague and I visited Xochi for lunch, which is located off of Gilman Boulevard, just down the street from the Gillman Village, next to the chamber building. If you see a metal taco truck with a line formed outside the window then you know you're at the right spot. I ordered the combination, which included five small street tacos of my choosing. I chose all of the meat options except the pork rinds and replaced it with the brussel sprouts one. We were told that at lunch time on a Wednesday, the wait was about 25 minutes, which was cool with us. There were picnic tables set up at the back of the truck. It was worth the wait. My tacos were delicious! They did accidentally gave me the pork rinds taco in my five-taco combination instead of the marinated shredded pork one, so when I told them about this, they kindly replaced this for me and gave me an extra shredded pork one. That was super nice of them! Of all the tacos, my favorite was the steak, which was simple yet outstanding. I loved the flavor from the beef with the sautéed onions. But honestly, all of the tacos were fantastic and so fresh! It takes awhile to get these tacos because it's made cooked-to-order, and you can easily tell at first bite. I also loved the handmade corn tortillas with. They only do tacos here, but that's all you really need. I would happily come to Xochi for some authentic, street-style tacos that's made fresh. If you get the five-taco combination, it's the best way to try many of the different flavors here; however, if you get tacos a la carte, they are bigger. Now that I've tried a few, I'll have to amp up my game and get a bigger steak taco and more. Thanks, Xochi!

Xochi is a true gem! We arrived at noon on a weekday and the lunch rush was in full swing. The woman taking orders was upfront about the expected wait time of about 45 minutes which drove some customers away, but you know what they say... good things come to those who wait! Their menu is seasonal, featuring five meat taco options and five veggie options. You can order the tacos a la carte (in singles) which are wrapped in 8-inch tortillas, or the Combo which includes five tacos of your choice in 4-inch tortillas. Based on their website, there has been a recent price increase, so the Combo is $14.95 and singles are between $4.25 - $4.50. This may sound pricey for tacos, but they are well worth it! We grabbed a seat at one of the picnic tables behind the truck and opened our boxes to a glorious sight! The corn tortillas were lightly browned on the flat top and filled to the brim with fillings. Each one was also piping hot and steaming, so they must heat the meat and vegetables individually for each order. + Encebollados (steak & sautéed onions): My favorite! The chopped steak was perfectly grilled, nicely seasoned and had a bit of heat. The chopped onions on top gave it some crunch and I loved every bite. + Tinga (chicken in chipotle sauce): This was an extraordinary chicken taco. The meat was SO tender and juicy from marinating in the smoky chipotle sauce and it came simply topped with cotija cheese. + Cochinta Pibil (pork in achiote sauce): The food truck owner recommended this to me and while I enjoyed the flavor, the meat itself was unfortunately dry. Perhaps it could have used more sauce which was a little peppery and slightly sweet. I liked the pickled onions on top which gave it a little tang. + Chorizo & Potato: The meaty pieces of chorizo were spicy, smoky and bold in flavor with some additional substance from the potato. It included chopped onion and cilantro for added freshness. + Bruselas (brussels sprouts, carrots & garlic): Who knew that brussels sprouts would make for such a flavorful taco? They were deliciously seasoned and browned. I don't normally opt for veggie tacos, but this one definitely won me over! These are easily some of the best tacos that I've ever had! Check out their website for the current menu and pricing: http://www.wearexochi.com

Great vegetarian tacos! Excellent customer service- I buy food from this truck from time to time and the lady who's behind the cash register always remembers my no-dairy preference!

My husband raved about this place and I finally got to try it. Born and raised in CA I have certain standards and the "Mexican" food in the PNW has been disappointing. The closest is Laz's Tacos down the way from Xochi, which is the best so far but very $$$. Unfortunately, Xochi has not changed that for me. 1. The wait was 30 minutes 2. Tacos are $5 each, which is insane to me 3. The encebolladas were very salty and not much flavor 4. Chicken tinga were ok. Nothing to write home about. Now I do have to say that the tacos were stacked but if I'm not feeling the filling, what's the point? I would say that this could be a back up to Laz's when I don't feel like cooking, but I'm not waiting 30 minutes for tacos that I'm ok with. The flavor and cost is a big pass for me as well.

Never ever have I seen a taco place with so many vegetarian options! It's a small family run taco truck with 3 tables for outdoor seating. We went here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon post a long hike. I loved that there was a combo option available for $14.95 where we get to choose 5 tacos of our choice. The person who took our order informed that the wait time for food to arrive would be 40 minutes. It seemed pretty long, but they make their food fresh, and the taste totally justified the wait time! The tacos arrived steaming hot, and every single taco tasted absolutely delicious! I'd highly recommend all the veggie options they have. My friend who tasted the chorizo taco said they were amazing too. Don't walk, but RUN to this food truck!

OH. MY. GOODNESS. I can see why this place is so popular, the hype and wait is definitely worth it. There's no online ordering or calling ahead; you just have to show up, place your order, and wait. All the times I've been here, there would be a 30 minute wait, but like I said, it's well worth it. I get the 5 taco combo and honestly have no clue which tacos I've been eating because I just tell them to surprise me, but literally every thing has been so tasty. This is the first place that doesn't provide salsa or hot sauce along with their tacos, but it's so flavorful that there's no need. There's an extensive menu for vegetarians also, you don't feel like you're missing out on meat because it's seasoned so well. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

Super cute, vegetarian friendly food truck with kind staff. Was a bit confused while following the navigation but google maps got me there good. Small parking lot in front of truck and some uncovered tables and benches outside, only really works out when it doesn't rain though. They had the seating area decorated delicately with some string light blubs which was uber cute. Got the combo (5 street tacos) for $14.95 + tax so closer to $16.50 before tip. The tacos were super yummy on the eyes and came dressed so no need for extra sauces, just some lime wedges. Can get them regular or spicy, I opted for spicy since the pain makes food taste better imo. Cochinita Pibil (Pork in an Achiote sauce): 5/5, MUST, Super tasty and juicy. Flavorful and well balanced in taste. Overall great, I can't express it better than this because I inhaled the taco Rajas (Poblano Peppers in a Sour Cream sauce): 5/5, Must try, never had a taco with this filling before and was pleasantly surprised. Vegetarians are not gonna wanna miss out on this one, actually meat eaters too. Texture is soft but not mushy so it is well cooked. Tinga (Chicken in a Chipotle sauce): 4/5, Not as juicy or flavorful as the pork but was still very good if you're not a fan of pork or beef. Would get this again. Kind of has a light smoky taste that is fairly satisfying Chicharron (Pork Rinds in a Spicy Tomato Sauce): 2/5, While I enjoy pork rinds, the texture was semi-mushy but still held its structure. Just wasn't really for me. Glad I tried it but won't be getting it again. The sauce its cooked in is tasty though Bruselas (Brussels Sprouts + Carrots + Garlic): 1/5, I wouldn't get this again, the textures were off, basically everything in the taco was mushy and I couldn't get past that. Taste was also not as good as other tacos. I tried my cousin's tacos, Encebollados (Steak + Sautéed Onions): 5/5 Enjoyed that there was some more fatty pieces so added to the flavor well. Was very good but not as good as the pork. Also tried Calabazas (Zucchini + Corn + Tomato): 3/5 I'd get this over the Brussels sprouts, the zucchini was cut into cubes and had bite to it.

I don't know what the hype is all about. These are $5 each and come without chips, salsas, beans, rice, or restaurant seating and service! They taste good and deserve a solid 4~4.2 star Thank you for the inspiration. I'm gonna make them myself at home.

Really cool taco truck trying some inventive combinations that certainly stray from authentic but isn't that the fun of food? I think the chicken chipotle might have been my favorite but I enjoyed them all except maybe the chicharron one which was very different (they warn that it is soaked in a sauce so has a kind of soaked gummy texture not a crunchy one). I think the flavors need to be rebalanced a bit more and the flavor turned up a couple notches but still solid street tacos that are fun to share with friends or pig out on alone in your car like me, the psychopath. They also offer a single taco of each style which is appreciated for people like me that just want to try everything. They are a bit slow so be prepared to wait 10-30 minutes if they're a bit busy.

An unique array of Tacos! You will not get these anywhere else! A small food truck opens for a short duration but you see folks lining up 15mins even before it opens. Ordered the combo instead of singles. The Combo are smaller Tortilla sizes than Singles. The best was Encebollados which was delicious Beef steak and sauteed onions. Papas is with potatoes, Rajas with peppers, Tinga with shredded chicken and Calabazas with Zucchini. They have a few benches to sit and eat as well.

Come closer, I have something to tell you. This is a hidden gem of Issaquah. It's a food truck that we recently discovered. We wanted something quick and good, and Yelp did not fail us. It was so good that I accidentally ate one and remember that I should snap a picture (haha) and share this place with everyone. It's located next to an espresso stand. You can order a combo of these five tacos (you get to choose between beef, pork or chicken) for a reasonable price. The wait was not long at all, but well worth the wait if there was one! Line was building up as we were leaving, so that's to tell you how good it was. Customer service and the food was superb. Probably one of the best places I've been to for tacos. Totally recommend and will be back!

Was looking for interesting locations to get food while in Issaquah and Xochi popped up as an option! Food trucks always are an interesting choice so we went on a Saturday at 3pm to check this location out! The taco food truck is in a cozy location, propped up right next to a small bakery/cafe and the visitor center for Issaquah. It seems like majority of the people who went to get tacos just placed their orders and then waited in their cars. There also are small benches in the waiting zone, and a picnic table nearby - would be perfect for a nice and sunny warm day! Downsides are that when we went, it was a 30 minute wait to get tacos. Seems like these tacos are definitely very popular and a must get in Issaquah, glad we were able to give it a try. Just a heads up if you want to swing by Xochi! I got the taco combo and got all the meat options on the tacos, which I'll review. These tacos came out hot and the tortillas were crispy and delicious! I'm a person that likes to try all the flavors, so the combo was a great option for me. The meats were all tender and had good consistency, from the pork to chicken, to beef - one of the more interesting tacos was the pork rinds one (Chicharron) as when crispy pork rinds get moisture it gets a little gelatinous. There was a good amount of spice in the salsas and sauces and it will certainly give you a small kick in spice. The overall combinations of the crispiness of the tortillas, the softness of the meats, and the refreshing salsa/sauces make this a pleasing set of tacos for sure! Overall, paid about $11 for 5 smaller tacos - which is good price given the chance to sample many different flavors of tacos! As mentioned before, due to the small nature of the truck and popularity, it will likely be a lengthy wait if you do decide to give Xochi a try - don't get me wrong, the tacos are definitely delicious, hot, and flavorful - but the wait brought it down a notch personally. If you have time, I would recommend swing by and give this popular spot a try!

my beloved dog shares the name of this food truck so i promise to be impartial in my review. take the front st exit and turn right on gilman. xochi will be in the shade on the left about 100 yards down after your turn. GO NOW! these tacos are fabulous! they are tasty and there are lots of options on the menu so regardless of whether people eat meat or are vegetarian, it seems like it'll be easy to find something to order. i know i didn't struggle at all! in terms of size of tortillas/tacos, there's a small visual in the food truck window to know the diameter of the tortilla you may be ordering. i ordered three separate ones and managed to eat them all; there's a combo on the menu which includes five tacos of your choice and if there are two people, that would be an ideal amount for sharing plus more economical. the brócoli was chock full and tasty. the rajas was my favorite (and fyi, i wanted my order extra spicy which probably means the red spicy sauce on top is added) and the papas was the most bland. i'd actually love to have a mixed papas/rajas available but that it something i could easily do by ordering one of each and mixing the ingredients on my own; it would be nice to see it on the menu, though. i noticed they have cochinita pibil and if the three tacos i tried were any indication, i bet this one would be great! i'm my opinion, knowing about xochi is great for when i'm out towards snoqualmie pass on outdoor adventures or visiting my friends who live in the area. post hike tacos could become a thing and it's easily accessible off i90 to facilitate that happening. for their choice of food truck name and their excellent food offerings, i'm happy to give them five stars and help spread the word!

Hands down the best tacos on the Eastside. Lots of veggie options too if you don't eat meat

XOCHI is a hidden lunch truck gem off Front street in issaquah. There are a few tables to sit outside under the trees in the shade. It took about 30 min during lunch hour to get our food. The 5 tacos combo was highly recommended so we tried it. Loved every taco! Meat was juicy, toppings were perfectly flavored and the tortillas were crispy on the edges to perfection. Reasonable $ for the amount of food. We will be back for more. Highly recommend!!

FREAKIN AMAZIN. Holy crapbaskets this place is good. The atmosphere is great, but the food is amazing. Excellent tacos. I recommend the everything.

We got the chicken tinga tacos, veggie poblano peppers, potatoes, zucchini and Pork in archoti sauce. We loved the poblano peppers and potato tacos. The combo tacos are good two bite portions.

I get the hype. Got the combo and really enjoyed every bite of all 5 tacos. I chose Bruselas, Calabazas, Tinga, Cochinita Pibil and Encebollado. All good and I think vegetarians would be very pleased with the different options, but my favorites are definitely the ones with animal protein. I can't wait to try the chorizo and the rajas.

How have I not been here before?! A taco truck that gets it done right in Issy - who would have thought? Came on a Saturday afternoon for a quick snack to share with my partner. We selected the pick 5 and it was the perfect amount for the both of us at a reasonable price point for Issaquah. Selected 4 meat options (chicken, pork, pork rind, beef) and one veggie - the brussel. All did not disappoint - flavorful with generous fillings. Favorites out of our selections were the beef and brussel. Some did pack in some heat (in a mild, not overpowering way) but I'm blanking on which ones. There were a couple parties in front of us so total wait time was about 10 mins. You can either park in the lot in front of the truck or park on the road along the rail tracks (Rainier Blvd N).

Mouthwatering. Every.Time! Not only do they make some of the best tacos I have ever had, they are consistent in their flavor and delivery. Recently I had my go to, a encebollados (steak & sautéed onions) and a papas (potatoes). The choice of sauces and toppings are perfection. And if the wait is 30 minutes...they are WORTH the wait. If you are in the area, you must try. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. Open 11-4, 12-4 on Saturdays.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. SO TASTY!! As the other reviews say, the veggie tacos are really flavorful!
