With multiple locations (including the relatively new brick & mortar on 65th & 15th in Ballard, the original Aurora Home Depot lot and a truck by the stadiums), “The Truck” gets props for their perfect consistency, flavorful fish and sauce, and their adobada tacos, as well as a ton of salsas to top things off. Bonus: Gorditas with cochinita pibil.

In our perfect world, all school buses would become taco trucks in heaven. El Fogon is Rainier Ave’s second excellent taco bus (Also check out Asadero, across the street at 3517), and the carnitas are killer. Bonus: It’s a taco bus, you guys. That is the bonus.

The always-excellent Catrina has one of the most extensive menus in the Seattle Mexican food game, but the Alambre tacos are hard to beat. With steak, bacon, peppers and onions, they taste like something you’d make at home if you could get a woman to come over and hand make the tortillas the way she does here. Bonus: The handmade tortillas, brunch, hidden patio… it’s like an onion of glorious surprises!

Capitol Hillers who love a little sweet with their meat dig the grilled pineapple and pork tacos, and vegetarians have more than one option (cactus, flavorful beans) on their part. Bonus: Friendly staff.

Their super-stuffed menu is full of great options, but they get extra points for their rich chorizo and carne asada tacos. Bonus: Excellent Mulitas.

Why does this otherwise whitebread-looking bar have some of the best Mexican food around? Don’t ask. Just order their mole pollo or one of the three kinds of shrimp tacos (the best is the chipotle shrimp) and enjoy the randomness of it all. Bonus: The best birria de res and pozole around, served with all the fixings.
