Taco Book in north Everett is located between Providence Hospital and Everett Community College. Taco Book truly has authentic Mexican cuisine that focuses mainly on hand foods. Their tacos are the best tacos I've had in many years; they're basically street tacos made with your choice of various meats, chopped onions and cilantro served with sides of radish slices, red and green sauces both of which pack decent heat (I'm personally fond of the green verde sauce taste). You can get three of these delicious tacos for about 10 dollars. You can eat them there or take home a bunch to enjoy at home. I'm stuck on the tacos, they are so tasty, so haven't ordered anything else, but my family has and they rave about the great flavors of other dishes. Eat in restaurant for an endless supply of smooth salsa to drizzle or drench your food in. The restaurant is family owned and the owner is very nice and helpful if you have any questions. He's a nice guy to talk with when not many people are waiting for food. Service is very quick and the food quality is superb! I know a lot of navy guys from the nearby naval base that routinely come here to eat copious amounts of food before heading back to work on the base. This place is easy to miss if you're just driving by so keep your eyes on the lookout. It's in a small strip mall on a corner that has a laundromat if you want a quick bite between doing laundry loads. I very much recommend making a regular stop whether you're just in the area or buying delicious fresh food to take home and nibble on all...
Read moreBy far our favorite quick eat in Everett! The owner is always incredibly nice and pleasant. My 4 year old used to tell him that he did not want radishes on his plate so now he always remembers (its an inside joke at this point) and makes sure to tell my son he did not put radishes on his plate when he brings the food out lol
The food is always delicious, and we love the house hot sauces. My husband is addicted to the pork tacos, which are my favorite tacos there as well. I've also tried the burrito which was great, sopes which are awesome, the barbacoa is amazing, the homemade horchata is perfect. I was not a huge fan of the tamales but that's probably my own failing as it is simply not a dish I tend to like, just not big on the masa mix. I've been told by another customer the Torta Cubana is out of this world and plan to try it on my next visit.
This is a small family owned & run establishment so sometimes they do close unexpectedly for vacations etc, but if you are a person who likes traditional street tacos you will definitely not regret...
Read moreWe came to do laundry nearby and decided to grab a quick bite at this place while waiting. There were no signs at the entrance saying pets weren’t allowed. It was me, my husband, and our small dog. The cashier clearly saw us with the dog when we placed our order and even said nothing when we mentioned we’d be dining inside.
We sat down to wait, and then the owner came over and told us dogs aren’t allowed — supposedly due to health department rules. That’s simply not true; many restaurants do allow dogs, especially small, well-behaved ones. He offered to pack our food to go — but what does that mean for me? I’m supposed to sit outside on a ledge and eat like I’m homeless?
There was zero respect for us as guests. A $5 “no pets allowed” sign would’ve avoided this entire situation. Why didn’t the cashier mention it when we ordered?
We ended up canceling our order. I’ll never know what the food tastes like, because I’m...
