El Camion — Restaurant in Seattle

We were staying at Seattle Children’s for a week and everyone was raving about this taco truck. My wife and I LOVE taco trucks and have been to a dozen or more throughout the Seattle area.

I walked down to get 4 carne asada and 3 pollo, bill was 23 bucks. A bit high for my liking for 7 tacos, but I’m a firm believer you get what you pay for.

There was a TON of meat. Like twice as much as usual as there is simply no way it could’ve fit into 4 tortillas. I’ve never been one to complain about too much meat. Also helped justify the price.

Then I took a bite and oh damn. It was awful. Asada was cooked into an oblivion. I would equate it to dog food. Hard as hell. Flavorless. And genuinely unpleasant to eat. The tortillas, were like if you bought some store bought street taco sized, then left them sitting out for 3 days. Edges were hard and crunchy. They broke when trying to pickup the taco into a standard taco form....they just sucked.

I ate my expensive tacos only because I spent so much on them. But was easily the worst taco truck experience I’ve maybe ever had.

Everyone loves this place, so who knows if I got a very rare experience, but I can’t recommend anyone go there. If you decide to give it a...

TL;DR: Really mid burrito for a 45 min wait.

Bruh I regretted my decision to get food here after the dude told me it’ll take 20 mins to get my pollo asado burrito and after 20 mins I didn’t get my burrito. They give you a beeper for when your food is ready. Lots of ppl waiting in addition to mobile orders. I kinda got annoyed when I asked the guy again about when my food would be ready 25 mins in and he waved me off saying “Give me a couple more mins”. Didn’t get my food until 45 mins after I ordered. Waited so long I thought about disputing the charge on my banking app and walking away

I thought maybe since I saw that this spot (which is a food truck that doesn’t really move) on TikTok it would be really good and worth the wait. I was so wrong. The burrito was so mid I was thinking “why didn’t I go to Chipotle??”

The chicken lowkey was a bit undercooked in my opinion (I’m a Black male just fyi) but I’m not sick as of the time of this review. I had to shower my burrito in sauce for it to taste somewhat good. The only thing that actually lived up to the hype was the actual size of the burrito which was pretty decent (I wear large sized gloves). All in all, really mid for a long wait. Don’t go out your...

Very long wait to recieve food. Id estimate that it was 25 to 30 minutes. I ordered 3 plain chicken tacos ($14.49 inc 20% tip). There was confusion during orders, as the person taking orders was clearly distracted. So when so much time went by, and I saw around 5 people get their order. I went to the window to ask, as I figured there was a mistake. I don't think he liked that, as I was ignored until the next outbound order was complete. He looked around, luckily it was being packaged and was next. I'm not sure how the queue was working, as I was seeing people get their food out of order. My only thought was that it was delayed, and they processed it out of queue, but recovered. He didn't apologize for the delay, but just looked indignant.

The atmosphere is bad. At night it looks so quaint with the cafe lights, but it's just a bunch of very old and dirty metal tables and some cattle fencing with lights hung. There's a distinctive lack of chairs for the area.

It's just a run of the mill taco truck, still welcome in an area without much food choices, but it's slow, service isn't great, and poor outside...
