Looking for a late night meal and went to two places that were supposed to be open but were closed and locked, which led to this taco truck. I was surprisingly pleased as the reviews initially made me hesitant. The prices are the main problem here as each taco is $3, so they're relatively high. However, they do have a lot more meat options (6 total options) including beef lengua (tongue) compared to the cheaper tacos that focus on 3-4 classic meats.
Got a few tacos and a quesadilla. Meats were all very good but what separates this place from a lot of others is the tortillas. They're fried in grease so they're more greasy, but the best part is the crisp crunch that comes along with the tortilla. This is the case for both tacos and quesadillas, probably including everything else as well. The crispy outer layer of a shell enhances the entire taste. The additional grease also helps, but maybe it's a bit too greasy.
I really enjoyed the quesadilla but I'm not sure if I'd justify the $12 price point. Four pieces of a semicircle that are perfectly crispy, cheesy, and greasy along with a generous amount of sour cream and some lettuce, the quesadilla felt pretty well made. It took quite a bit longer than the tacos which is to be expected, but the end result was delicious with stringy cheese as I pulled each piece apart. Again, the price point was the drawback here as I can get more quesadilla for less at other places, so then there's a matter of quantity versus quality which is an argument dependent on the day.
Overall a great stop for late night tacos or other Mexican foods whether it's for a late night snack or a meal. When you're craving some munchies, you just want to eat but the greasiness here can be beneficial as well as the fact that each layer of the foods (tortilla, meat, cheese if applicable, etc) are made with care and...
Read moreI wasn't expecting much when I got these - but I was somewhat disappointed
These were basically just your average quesadillas - had a good amount of cheese, a little bit of sour cream dip each quesadilla was lined with ground beef, which was at least nice, but there was basically no steak in there at all the steak that did exist was really chewy and not very fun to eat
the tortillas were ok - nothing too special. i did like how they were cooked well enough to not allow for any leakage of the stuffing inside
not sure what was up with all the lettuce on the inside - that would definitely go better inside the quesadilla
the portion size here is quite poor for the price. I've been to other mexican food trucks where for 14 dollars, I can get a massive portion of food that can last me through lunch + dinner. the amount of quesadillas provided was barely filling
Overall, even for food trucks, this is below...
Read moreMy boyfriend and I went to get some food at a new spot last night (1/21) since we’re always trying something new. I’m directionally challenged, so i had to go to my bank statement to see what the food truck was called since my boyfriend didn’t want to tell me. (He knows I’ll go everyday!) We drove up to Flair tacos and I ordered a torta de lengua, and he some lengua tacos (and some other tacos I can’t remember). The torta was SO GOOD. As soon as i bit into it, i didn’t stop attacking the torta until it was gone. I may have forgotten to chew, but that’s ok, because the lengua (I think cow tongue in English) was SO tender and juicy and WOW. Finding a good Mexican spot in the u district is a challenge, so I’m SUPER EXCITED I won’t have to drive all the way south to Burien or all the way north for a decent torta/tacos (cause you know I tried...
