Los Chilangos Kirkland

If you like chewy carne asada this is your place. Literally every bite.

Los Chilangos in Kirkland is a taco truck at a gas station. Nothing wrong with that of course. Good food can be found anyway. It's a take out place only without seating. Service was swift. We arrived midday, 4 ish. There were no lines. They took our order as soon as we were ready, and our food was ready in 5 min. Super fast meal.The Food:3 Street Tacos, $3.25 each $0.50 for 1 lengua 4 StarsI ordered 1 al pastor pork (guajillo marinated pork served with grilled pineapple), 1 carnitas (citrus marinated pulled pork), and 1 lengua (braised in herbs and garlic beef tongue). All three of the meats are very good. To be honest, covered with spicy sauce (still having heartburn hours later), I inhaled the food so fast that they taste about the same. Ok, not the lengua, that's kind of obvious. All three tacos are great with fresh tasting tortillas, topped with fresh veggies. Three tacos are the right amount for me.Godfather Burrito, $14.50 3.5 Stars Menu: Large flour tortilla filled with rice, black beans, your favorite meat choice, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, grilled onions, and salsaLarge and well stuffed, our only complaint is that we felt the need to add salsa. It wasn't quite good enough by itself, or maybe even a bit dry without added sauce. We had jarred salsa at home, so we added that. It's a bit of blasphemy to add the jarred salsa to a good burrito, but it was necessary.

I was craving a quesadilla so I went for a ride along the waterfront to one of the half dozen or so Los Chilangos taco trucks on the east side. Got the cabeza quesadilla. This particular truck is in the gas station lot where Wendy's once was. Beef cabeza was savory, umame, perfectly tender and spicy. The quesadilla was enough for two small meals and wait time was only a few minutes. Its not very apparent that english at this truck is a tiny bit limited so dont mistake it as rudeness or what not they just dont speak conversational but they are very nice people and they make pretty good mexican food. I recommend for quick bite but there are better options if u have the time to drive further. Very good option for convenience.

This place gone so far down hill. Squeeze tube guacamole. The prices climb every week. It's ridiculous. You can pay the same amount for a meal at Santa Fe or Cactus for that matter. Go ahead and keep screwing us and yourselves. $2,75 for a small scoop of Mexican rice that costs what maybe 10 cents.I used to live this place... but WTH

Best taco truck food I’ve ever had and I love trying lots of different taco trucks so I’ve had many different ones. I would go here over any other Mexican restaurant or taco truck everyday. The meat is so flavorful and tender and everything is so fresh. 10/10 would recommend!!
