Taqueria El Ranchito — Restaurant in Kent

This could be a 3-4 star situation, depending on Who is cooking and who is at the front counter. About 30% of the time when we order carry out we don't get what we order (example: ordered chicken tacos, receive carnita tacos). Since we like what they serve and don't have any dietary meat restrictions, it's not a big deal, just somewhat annoying at times. There are bigger issues in the world to get upset over so if the worst that happens is we don't get the right tacos, then I'm good with that. There are a couple of young ladies who work there that are very kind and have exceptional customer service skills. I have absolutely no idea if the food here is "authentic" (white girl from the midwest). I have no basis to make that judgement. However, everything that we've eaten there has tasted good. Price is definitely reasonable for the portion size. They are always busy and the place is clean. I've never gotten sick from eating here, which is a major plus. Taco Tuesday is awesome and we usually pop in for...

I don't know why the people claiming to be from SoCal were on about this place. I was born and raised in San Diego and TJ. Here's my take on it: it is more flavorless than taco time (which isn't Mexican food).

The street tacos were bland and come with just unseasoned meat on tortillas, you have to get the cilantro, onions, peppers and any other stuff from the salsa bar.

Which brings us to the salsa bar which was not fresh by any stretch of the imagination.

The cane asada quesadilla was equal bland and had the bonus of having mashed avocado as a garnish as I can't call what they serve guacamole because it literally has no flavour beyond that of the avocado.

The fajitas were equally unseasoned and bland.

So all in all no, this place is not authentic by any stretch of the imagination. It is sub par even for Washington...

So i dont have pictures to attach but the experience i had was not what i expected and i agree with the last review they over hyped the videos from instagram just to get people to come eat! They dont put as much meat on the tacos or tortas as they show in the video, also the waiter that got my order lost my order so i was sitting there waiting for my order to come out for like 30 mins then they resubmitted my order and when i got my tacos de al pastor like i mentioned before they barely had any meat neither did my torta but i seen other people get alot of meat on theirs. So im not going to lie i was VERY VERY disappointed i was expecting more i was so excited to try this place but after this i dont think i will ever go their again and don’t recommend anyone to go there...
