Sophie's Tacos — Restaurant in Seattle

The place is brand new. That could explain why service was slow. Meals were sloppy and there was no attention to presentation. That’s ok in my book if the food is really good but we were a family of five and none of us really enjoyed the flavor of our meal, they lacked luster. The burrito that my son got was missing what he asked for and looked deflated. Portions were small although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Vegans will not appreciate it here, even beans are cooked in pork fat. When I ordered my taco salad the clerk didn’t tell me about the beans and instead just didn’t put them on my plate. It would have been nice to know because I may have ordered something else. We had to ask for napkins, there was a lot of waiting, and it really didn’t feel like they had their A Team playing today. We really wanted to like this place but came out feeling bummed. I’ll try again at some point but probably by myself. I want to...

I'm sharing my Yelp review here too because I really want to see this business get the following it deserves!

I am so incredibly happy this is in the area, filling a SERIOUS void for good Mexican/Central American food in what is otherwise, a pretty sad neighborhood for those options.

I think it's fair to ask... seriously who orders taco salads at authentic El Salvadorean restaurants. It's clearly the menu item for your friend you dragged along with you, it's not designed to be the main feature.

Adorable family owned restaurant with family children running amok and amazing food! I ordered the taco plate (basic I know) with asada, and a pupusa, and the pupusa almost made me cry. Really soft, rich, creamy. And already not a super common menu item. They have tamales, enchiladas, etc, all of which I'm really excited to try!

Really great flavors, really nice people, and definitely better than any other options between Green Lake...

advice: get the pupusas. ask for them to label the different pupusas if you’re ordering with other people. Expect at least a 30 min wait.

Pros:

1. The pupusas are out of this world. They are full of flavor, big, and piping hot. cons:
2. My spouse and I each ordered two differently flavored pupusas. They took 28 minutes (!!) to come out and there was only one other table with folks at it.
3. They didn’t separate our two orders and brought out all four pupusas on the same plate. We asked which flavour belonged to which piece but they said they didn’t know. Thus, we had to rip open each one to find out which one was which but of course they all looked basically the same. This meant that we kept eating half way through one and realizing it was the other persons food order instead. It caused for a frustrating...
