Jose's Taqueria in Seattle

Great food

I eat a lot of tacos. These are pretty unique in that the steak tastes like it was marinated in teriyaki. That’s probably a little off putting as I read that in other reviews and a couple other bad ones and was put off on trying the place for months despite working right next to it. Being hungry today and not feeling anything but tacos but this being my only option in walking distance, I went for them. I was pleasantly surprised!

The grilled onions as opposed to diced raw onions was cool with me as well, although some people may not be as much a fan. I wouldn’t be surprised if the salsa was store bought based on its flavor, and I also wouldn’t be surprised if I learned the chicken was just a rotisserie chicken from Fred meyers. The shrimp taco had a lot of shrimp in it which I appreciate. Place isn’t too expensive and despite the hole in the wall feel and it not being the cleanest looking in the eating area, they do have an excellent health rating on their door. I will eat here again. The owner was nice.Edit: Had to drop a star after eating a burrito from here. Really bad. Everything else I said before still rings true though

I hope you find this little restaurant as wonderful as I do and please tell your friends. So next time you are in the north end of Seattle in the district of Lake City, instead of g...
