Best Consommé Soup for Ramen!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's the best taco place in south Seattle. We were so impressed with their food that we brought back their consommé soup. We used it to make ramen, as they recommended, and it was sooo good. I truly appreciate restaurants that show such passion for what they serve.

Incredible Birria Tacos and Cali Nachos!
As someone who rarely leaves reviews and is quite particular about Mexican food, I was genuinely impressed. I came in specifically because the birria tacos looked incredible, and they absolutely lived up to the hype, almost as good as my mother's – and that's a high compliment! My positive experience led me to return and try the cali nachos fries with carne asada, which I also found to be delicious. If you're a fan of birria tacos or searching for a great spot, I HIGHLY recommend trying this place at least once.

Incredible Brunch at Taco City!
My experience at Taco City was incredible! My bestie and I had the best Sunday gals’ brunch day. The service and staff were so lovely. We took all their food and drink recommendations and loved it all so much. The birria tacos are truly incredible, and so is the ceviche. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back.

Best Taqueria with Amazing Vegan Options
I've been here tons of times, and it's seriously one of the best, if not *the* best, taquerias in South Seattle. The main reason I keep coming back is that it's the only place around here with awesome vegan options. From empanadas to Impossible tacos, they even have vegan cheese and sour cream. Plus, their drinks are great. This time, I got a raspberry mocktail, and it was delicious. The service provided is both prompt and attentive. As a vegan, here's what I'd suggest for the menu: nopal or hongos for tacos or burritos, vegan nachos, and vegan elote (or esquites). You could totally make it with vegan cheese and vegan sour cream (instead of mayo). Just saying! And don't get me wrong, I appreciate the vegan options. I'm coming back!

Incredible Tacos and Fun Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The birria tacos were incredible, and the nachos were top-notch. The burrito was pure comfort food. The drinks were perfectly made. The atmosphere was unmatched, with a fun pink theme that made it the perfect setting for a girls’ night out!

Taco City: A Vegetarian Dream!
I LOVE Taco City! I have long looked for a good vegetarian taco in this town, and theirs is by far the best I’ve found. When I used to teach just down the street I’d go every Thursday. And not only the food stands out. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, and they are truly community oriented. And don’t think it’s just good veggie food! My meat eating friends I’ve taken to TC have all raved about their food, too. Plus, they have a full bar… :)
