La Vaca Mexican Restaurant

This might be the smallest restaurant in Seattle, with a flavours of food, this is my absolute GO TO downtown for lunch. You are literally going to walk past it, because it's os little. But when you find it, expect delicious, we'll seasoned, amazing food, for your face. It's basically a full service food stall. It's off the charts in value, and the guy running the place should be your new best friend, aka: great customer service. I love the wet burrito here it's packed with all the things, meat (or vegetables for the non-meat eaters) , cheese, veg, beans, rice.. wrapped in a tortilla, then sauce is POURED on top, then more cheese, then on the side, shredded lettuce, beans and rice. Look, this is what I generally get here, it's delicious, and you will get plenty of food. I love this place, the ambiance is street side, but yes, it's an amazing fixture to the market, and I love it. You will too.

Great burrito and service from this spot! Nice place to grab a meal away from the Pike Place hustle and bustle.

Fantastic food at affordable prices! This literal 'hole in the wall' stand has the best Mexican food at Pike Place Market. It's authentic and the service is spot on. However, note that everything is to go. There is not a place there to eat but you can find some tables inside the market close by or take it home as it travels pretty well.

With so many places packed in the street and heavy foot traffic, this place can be very easily overlooked. It is just a small counter where you order and grab the food to-go, with a microwave and containers containing the ingredients to make a variety of food listed in the menu. My first assumption of a microwave being so visible from the counter makes it feel like I am going to eat preheated food, but that's used for sprinkling cheese to melt on top of the burrito. I got the wet burrito with carnitas, which is a lot of food for the price, though a majority of the burrito is the tortilla and rice. It comes with sour cream, salad, choice of beans (opted for retried beans), and rice. Carnitas is quite juicy and tender, jam packed with more rice and beans inside the burrito. It's definitely enough for a single filling meal, or 1.5-2 regular meals! It's definitely a hole in the wall place, as the decor and surroundings are a bit run down, but it is worth to check out.

great place to pick up a quick burrito on the go! The food was flavorful and a GREAT value. I got the wet burrito combo with carne asada - the burrito was heavy on the rice & beans, could have a had a bit more protein. It was served with rice, beans, sour cream, & salad. the $10 combo easily fed 2 people for lunch. service was very quick and friendly - just a one man show, so you might have to wait a bit a busier times.

5 stars great service and huge menu that's very flexible. Rice and beans are excellent as well as the chips and salsa. This place is authentic Mexican food which is so hard to find in Seattle. A must try if you want Mexican food and are in the area

shoutout this place because i only saw one man working and not only was he so very welcoming, he was friendly, more than happy to help us and the food was fresh, delicious and make wif love. its also right out front of the pike marketplace, easy to find :)we got:taco combo meal: two crunchy tacos with grilled steak, my tacos did not stay together but thats only because they were so full of toppings, the rice was delicious and the horchata was yummy as wellgrilled steak quesadilla: came with sour cream and pico. freshly made, cheese was melty, they don't skimp out on meat. and a great price for a portion big enough to have leftovers for me.

Maybe it's my fault. Maybe I came in with too high expectations, bolstered by these reviews. But my burrito fell apart almost immediately, and didn't taste that great either.I noticed that at least part of the food was made with a microwave; this business doesn't have a grill or a stove.The only reason I'm giving this two stars instead of 1 is that my wife liked her enchiladas.

I work downtown. I go out to lunch daily. I've been looking for a cheap lunch spot ever since PCC closed and La Vaca, along with Chipotle, have become my go-tos. Everything up and down the menu is low-priced here. My favorite is the Enchilada combo, which comes with two enchiladas with rice, beans, salsa, sour cream and your choice of meat. There's probably enough in here for two meals for most people, but I always end up eating it all in one sitting since I workout frequently.I try to avoid cliches, but this place is literally a hole in the wall. It's a one man operation, so they probably have low labor costs. I'd say the only downside is that there is no seating area and when you wait for your food, it's either waiting on the sidewalk or the foyer to one of the Pike Place buildings, so there are loads of people brushing by you, lol.

Riquisimo! Leo makes the best tacos For $4 you get "mini burritos" that Leo calls tacos. They are delicious! With good quality ingredients.And it all comes with a smile and a fun setting
