Taqueria El Semental — Restaurant in White Center

I'm normally not a picky guy but the food quality has went down quite a bit since last year. I normally get the Carnitas plate with a side of corn tortillas. The carnitas have been very grease lately & the tortillas no longer seem fresh. Even the rice & beans seem to have went down in quality. There used to be chips and salsa to snack on well you wait for your order seems like every time I go in the chips are empty and the salsa also never taste the same. I ask the waitress if there were chips she seemed annoyed that I asked. The restrooms are typically dirty & I never see the Cooks wearing gloves when placing food on counter. Makes me wonder if they are wearing gloves to cook. I went to throw away my leftover food & There was a cockroach in the tray with the dirty dishes. Overall just a bad experience. This used to be one of my favorite places but they must have a different cook or something because it has went down quite a bit. Cook with the blonde hair seems to be in a bad mood or on his phone. Maybe if he paid attention to cooking things wouldn't be going down hill. Think I'll start going to the one in South Center...

D- Customer service

Some friends and I stumbled upon this place by mistake, and we ordered 3 separate meals. We got our food and one of the orders was wrong. She acknowledged that one of the orders was incorrect and she walked back to the kitchen. Naturally we assumed she went to get the correct order. She also left the incorrect order at the table so we thought “ok that was nice”. We ate one taco out of the container and she came back and said it was 11pm so she wasn’t going to fix the order because we ate from the container (the container she left) as they were closing. She then turned to the table behind us and said “I don’t mean to be rude but it’s 11 and we’re closed”. Keep in mind they were still eating.

If you acknowledge that you as the business messed up an order, then fix it

If you’re closed, lock the door, but don’t kick people out that are still eating.

I’d give them one star but the food was actually good. Good food or not, customer service goes along way and unfortunately they completely missed the...

We always drive by this place but I've never been. Good hangover food for sure on a Saturday. I was surprised the burrito was mostly chorizo. Personally, I'd prefer more egg in the ratio, but it was great overall. You get what you pay for with the portions. My burrito weighed in at 1.5 lbs 😁. Definitely won't leave you hungry.

The salsa was delicious.

The online menu could use some updates. 2 burritos was $20 ($10ea). It's listed as $7 or $6.50 depending on where you look. I'm going to go back for a non- breakfast item soon! If you're comparing to the taco truck down the street I'd say the truck is better, however, I'm going to give them another shot.

They do not have tater tots despite the pics of...
