Sooo amazing. I came here with a friend who loves it and the service is amazing, the food got here fast even though the place was packed, and it's just a happy vibe. 100% recommend!!
Cute local place off Alki. Tons of drink variety, but def. not inexpensive. We came on a Sunday. Rainy. Not as crowded. Staff was super friendly. Got the chile verde quesadilla and it was really good, as well as the marinated pork tacos. Nachos were good. I'd come here again.
4 stars for this place is a travesty!! Food and service are excellent. Wet burrito with pork, Goat tacos, and Goat nachos are 3 amazing options. Every time we come back we ask ourselves why we don't come more often. I'm sure the reviews are complaints about parking or wait time or cost -- forget all that noise and find a way to get to this cosy Alki spot!!
Walked past the window and saw someone eating Birria Ramen and two questions popped up in my head. 1) I have not seen Birria Ramen anywhere in my area, since when is this here? 2) How have I passed by this Fire Tacos location on my way to the arcade and never noticed it?? The current Valentine's Day decorations in the window and that ramen sucked me right in, and we agreed we made a good choice on a very chilly night. Our server Salvador was exceptionally friendly, sitting down at our table to chat for a bit since it was closing time. We chatted about our growing up in tropical environments and our appreciation for having 4 seasons here in WA. :) He made our dining experience unforgettable and we want to go back ASAP. Oh and yes the ramen, the quesadilla, and taco was excellent. The chips and sauce was ok. I prefer tomato salsas with my chips I guess. It was a great meal to fuel our night of gaming.
This is my second time going to this location. I am very satisfied with the service, the food, everything is fresh and delicious. This is my go to spot when I am on Alki.
I'm glad this event was a drop in! I got to meet with a friend for a girls night here. The churros were amazing. Fresh warm filling inside while crispy on the outside. The tacos were good, I ordered get the ramen birria soup but probably wouldn't recommend it. Soup was good when dipping the taco with the broth but adding noodles to it made it really bland. Chips and guac were kind of pricey for the portion received. My friend enjoyed her pork and beef tacos but since we ordered so much she didn't get to try the shrimp. Overall good food and fast service!
Ordered takeout but will definitely dine in next time. Bright and inviting interior decor with lots of seating. Servers were friendly and my to go order was ready when I arrived. Gorgeous view of alki. Street parking.
A great Mexican restaurant to eat at if you're at Alki Beach! We came here on a sunny Sunday and it was packed. We got their birria tacos and birria ramen. Their birria tacos were pretty good and the consome was made well! Each birria tacos did cost around $5 and the consome itself was $3, so it's a bit pricey here. The birria ramen was good as well, but it's not something I would get again. I wish there was more birria beef with the ramen. The service was great. The server was very nice and helpful. The food didn't take long to make at all, and it's crazy because it was packed. I really liked the ambiance of the restaurant. There's a decent amount of seating. Decorations are extensive throughout the restaurant and they have a great view of Alki beach looking out the windows. Overall, I very much enjoyed my experience here and I would come back!
I stopped in at Fire Tacos & Cantina today for a Yelp Elite Experience and while there I bought an additional dish and a beer. I arrived soon after their 11:30 AM opening and sat at the bar where I was well taken care of. While there I tried their Chile Verde Quesadilla and topped it off with a pint of Pacifico! The Chile Verde Quesadilla caught my eye by the description in the menu that it won an award from LA Eater (?). I thought it was more like a soft open taco and not the two tortillas surrounding cheese and other fillings that I make at home. This one was unique and the pork cubes were very tender likely having simmered in the chile verde sauce for a good long time. It was very delish! Overall, the staff were friendly and checked up on me for anything I might need. I love their decorations inside and took a bunch of photos posted with this review. In the summer their rollup windows look like they make the place feel more tropical (as much as Seattle weather can get!). I learned they have a location in Kent, they have a food truck on Aurora Ave near Green Lake and will soon be opening a Cap Hill location. I recommend this place for some great Birria tacos and decor.
