Taqueria Casa Mixteca — Restaurant in Burien

If you complain there is no beef, you are either holding your map upside down and think you are in Mexico, yet mysteriously landed your flying saucer near the Canadian border, in the city that never sleeps, merely high-fives each other in the lone, last-interconnected Goodwill left standing post economic-depression--or will feed you a sushi sandwich! Except cooked. And it will taste like Mexican coastal cuisine. Which basically means quality fish-on-a-dish, post age-of-fire, to most Muricans. Usually with lime. Cilantro is also available. For REAL MEN (and women who want to be extra-attractive and sophisticated to anyone who has lived near the southern border. In fact, give me your number, I may need directions to your house! 🤷‍♂️ If its your girlfriend, you can give me her number instead. I will impress her by adding extra habanero, then eat a bowl of cilantro to chase down the pain. Hot is the new cool!)

PS: There is a nice condiments median in the middle of the restaurant. I recommend the spiciest salsa. People who eat Seattle Mexican, then order five star spicy Thai food are HYPOCRITES! Spanish food is supposed to hurt. That's part of adapting to real life. 💪)

What you are really afraid of is weakness leaving the body. Confess yourself to the nearest priest. Then go to the gym, ride the unicycle, and do 3,000 genital crunches, or until your arms (and other members) grow larger. I also recommend helium to inflate your physically-connected hackey sack. Women love a man of steel! Who is not only funny, but can also protect them: so basically a clown-ninja.

Anyway, I went off on a tangent. Eat at TCM. It's dynamite, if you order your meal TNT/10 on a scale of spicy! Don't melt the polar ice caps after. Seattle's very future may depend...

Taqueria Casa Mixteca is brightly colored, Mexican cafe style restaurant. When you walk in, the cashier will take your order at a small stand where you can also buy interesting, presumably Mexican made trinkets.

The menu is a giant order board with A4 sized pictures of each of the over 25 dishes available. The pictures are good but the food is even better. I chose the chicken with mole and was not disappointed. The sauce was rich with a hint of spice, while the chicken was juicy and tender, just falling off the bone. There is also a great selection of sodas, both USA and Mexican as well as coconut water.

The seating is limited, maybe 12 tables, mostly 4 to 6 seated tables with metal chairs on a tile floor. Yellow walls surround you with lots of hangings on the walls of Jesus and a large tv playing Spanish pop music videos.

The ladies that served our table were nice and the service was very fast. A type of tomato based pasta ribbon soup came out as a nice surprise, followed by our entree orders. I remember this soup from some trips to Mexico but had forgotten about it as many Mex-American places don't serve up this tradition.

Good mean, fair price and fun experience. I plan on going back and trying a few more items off the menu. What higher...

I had the picaditas, with the cecina pork and mole. I had never had picaditas or cecina before, but oh my god they were so flavorful. Wonderfully smokey, good amounts of mole and cheese. The pork was just placed a strip placed on top, but it was so tender.

Nothing was over powering. The balance of flavors was perfect. Served in a pizza box for transport. They don't have great drink selections. Bottles of water, Fanta, or Pepsi, or a house peach tea in a jug. I will try that next time. Also sells trinkets from Oaxaca, as well as dry goods and various types of tortillas and pan. Up front they have a cold case with some desserts and also raw meats to take home.

It's a cozy place, I think mostly doing take out business, but fast, yummy, and the person working the...
