Centro Neighborhood Kitchen

A cozy neighborhood restaurant with excellent vegetarian food choices. The crispy Brussel sprouts, rajas con queso taco, and tlayuda were superb. The other items I ordered were good. I noticed that two families close by with younger kids were able to order kid-friendly choices. The service was efficient and everyone was friendly and positive. A great vibe and I will definitely be back!

I really really wanted to love it. I felt like maybe it was an off night. We came on the day after Valentines day for a weekday dinner. The restaurant was crowded, but we didn't have to wait. We were seated and given menus, and our server came promptly to see what we wanted to order. We hadn't really looked at the menu, but I tried to engage on margarita options, but really got no recommendations. Our server wasn't friendly either. I don't think we ordered well either. We decided to share and each ordered a taco, and for some reason thought it was a good idea to get the charred steak & broccoli appetizer (not a typical mexican appetizer, yeah, I know). My husbands fish taco was flavorful, that was the hit of the night. The tinga taco wasn't really flavorful. It was just meh. The charred steak & broccoli was over-the-top salty. It was alot, and I really like salty food. We didn't finish it.Cute restaurant, I think it has a good neighborhood appeal. Maybe the staff was exhausted from the Valentines day crowd? Just a hunch. It wasn't our best experience.

I was having a child-free solo moms day out and Centro had been on my list to try. I walked into this quaint location and knew it was good based on how many people were inside. I usually feel slightly weird taking up a whole table for myself, so I was happy to see a long bar top by the front window with individual stools. I was promptly greeted with water, placed my order, and received my food timely. The spicy jalapeño margarita was yummy, and my seat delivered great people watching oops. But my favorite part was listening to the server. She spoke with each table and struck the perfect balance between being a sincere conversationalist and not overstepping and leaving them to eat. Her joy was infectious and you could tell she was very experienced. Pro tip: if you order any tacos, get a side of consomme to dip them in. You won't regret it!

I loved this spot! It's such a gem. From the friendly waitress/service to the delicious food, I would love to come back. I arrived during happy hour (2-4p) and got a Sauvignon Blanc with the Cauliflower Nachos. The nachos were delicious & I appreciate all of the plant-based/veg options on their menu. The nachos were delicious with what appears to be housemade, quality ingredients & a very generous portion size. The vibe of this spot is laidback & friendly. Highly recommend visiting!

152nd St in Burin is awash with good restaurants and Centro has joined the club of the ones we have tried. We arrived a bit after 5PM on a rainy Sunday. The place was packed and we sat on some uncomfortable stools at the window bar until a table freed up after a short wait. While we were waiting, Joey brought us some water and took our order for margaritas. When Our table was ready, are margaritas were sitting on it. The food was interesting and unique and we enjoyed it very much. I did not take a picture of the decedent churros we had for desert but they were wonderful. Service was attentive.The only reason I did not rate this restaurant 5 stars was because it is very small and crowded and the chairs are unpadded hardwood. The food will bring us back to plow through all the other items on the menu.

Came to Burien to meet up with a friend and there was also a special lights festival going on at the same time. Fortunately the weather was just perfect and we were glad to sit outside and take in the festivities while eating. We were recommended this spot by friends and it did not disappoint! We all started with one of their special cocktails, I had the paloma. I'm not a big fan of margaritas with the salt rim, but the paloma is sweet and refreshing.For food we decided to share the nachos, which are huge! These were amazing. I loved all the avocado and red onions on top. Also, the brussels sprouts are not to be missed if you are a fan. I loved the creamy sauce they covered them in, which were roasted to perfection. After this we weren't all that hungry, but they have individual taco options, so I opted for the carnitas. This was also very tasty and had plenty of meat for 1 serving.Overall the staff were very quick here and the drinks were strong!

I would give this restaurant a five starts if it weren't for the last visit customer service.Good food always no fail we're here three times a month minimum. We love the tacos and order two appetizers each time with the brussel sprouts being a must have super deeeelish top dishDuring our last visit on Saturday, my husband spit a tiny rock in his food and when shown to our server she couldn't CARE less. I think she just said oh if I heard right. Typically their service is better and this one server is prolly untrained or un something.We will continue to go there for the delicious food but hey some customer care and appreciation would be great.

Came here on nice warm fall night with friends and was able to sit outside. The food, drink and service were all on point.I think to start I had a Blueberry Margarita that was properly sweet and stiff. We shared the loaded Totopos nachos. They were hot, covered with salsa and cheese. It was great, very shareable between 3 people and was a great starter. Also had some of the Brussel sprouts which includes garlic aioli, goat cheese, red pepper flakes, citrus flavor.I believe I had the Birria Tacos, a favorite of mine lately. They were hot and hearty and full of flavor.The staff was pleasant and offered recommendations which of course is always appreciated. Having never been to Downtown Burien, with plenty of choices it was nice we settled on this. I'd recommend and consider returning here to get a repeat of the more eats and drinks here.

3.5 stars. Rounding up to the PNW taqueria curve. We are serious burrito snobs. We came to Centro for that experience. We ordered a carnitas and an al pastor (or the like). Plus chips & salsa (at an extra charge). And one soda ($54 in total, plus tip!!). We dined-in. Burritos were served very quickly, just after the chips arrived. Impressions: were not wrapped in foil. They were surprisingly small, and I'm no burrito size king. Wrapped without much tortilla tension - but not too flaccid. Contents lukewarm. Mouthfeel and flavors were pretty nice. Very "fresh" tasting. Quite subdued: flavors. Mildly spiced. No lingering greasiness, like is found at many of the SW Seattle taquerias / roach coaches. A pretty OK basic burrito. If it were not nearly $60 for a causal lunch in Burien, we'd probably visit again. Mostly notably positive was their creamy habanero salsa. It was almost a cross between a queso and a salsa. Heat hit perfectly. Nice work. Service was snappy and friendly.

Food is decent (but overpriced). Service continues to be more and more disappointing with each visit, specifically the female waitstaff...they are condescending/rude and act like customers are a major inconvenience. Sad- this used to be our favorite go-to spot in Burien.
