Los Chilangos Mexican Food & Catering

Los Chilangos in Kirkland is a taco truck at a gas station. Nothing wrong with that of course. Good food can be found anyway. It's a take-out place only without seating. Service was swift. We arrived midday, 4-ish. There were no lines. They took our order as soon as we were ready, and our food was ready in 5 min. Super-fast meal.The Food:3 Street Tacos, $3.25 each + $0.50 for 1 lengua - 4 StarsI ordered 1 al pastor pork (guajillo marinated pork served with grilled pineapple), 1 carnitas (citrus marinated pulled pork), and 1 lengua (braised in herbs and garlic beef tongue). All three of the meats are very good. To be honest, covered with spicy sauce (still having heartburn hours later), I inhaled the food so fast that they taste about the same. Ok, not the lengua, that's kind of obvious. All three tacos are great with fresh tasting tortillas, topped with fresh veggies. Three tacos are the right amount for me.Godfather Burrito, $14.50 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Large flour tortilla filled with rice, black beans, your favorite meat choice, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, grilled onions, and salsaLarge and well stuffed, our only complaint is that we felt the need to add salsa. It wasn't quite good enough by itself, or maybe even a bit dry without added sauce. We had jarred salsa at home, so we added that. It's a bit of blasphemy to add the jarred salsa to a good burrito, but it was necessary.

I was craving a quesadilla so I went for a ride along the waterfront to one of the half dozen or so Los Chilangos taco trucks on the east side. Got the cabeza quesadilla. This particular truck is in the gas station lot where Wendy's once was. Beef cabeza was savory, umame, perfectly tender and spicy. The quesadilla was enough for two small meals and wait time was only a few minutes. Its not very apparent that english at this truck is a tiny bit limited so dont mistake it as rudeness or what not they just dont speak conversational but they are very nice people and they make pretty good mexican food. I recommend for quick bite but there are better options if u have the time to drive further. Very good option for convenience.

I stopped by for lunch in the neighborhood, downtown Kirkland. There were some parking spots available in that gas station so it's very convenient. The ambiance was laid back and service was friendly and efficient. I ordered breakfast with carne asada, large horchata, chilaquiles con huevos with chorizo. They were really delicious and authentic and we enjoyed every bite. Horchta was creamy and it's the best one I've had. I mixed my coffee and it tasted phenomenal. Great experience and we will come back soon.

One of the best tacos I've had! I love their corn taco skin -- very moist and crispy at the same time. What I like most about it is also the favt that it is not too oily, which often a lot of tacos are.Al pastor 4/5 - pork marinated in Guajillo with pineapples. Good combination of sweet, sour, and umami. They also have grilled onion on the sidePollo 4.5/5 - I liked this a lot! The chicken is very tender and flavorful.Their service is also great! They prepared it quite fast and the packaging is really nice. The plastic they use is biodegradable.

Best breakfast burritos around! This cute Mexican food truck does NOT disappoint. My partner and I found this truck back in Ballard at the farmer's market a few years ago (it seriously revived us from far too many late nights), and we were so excited to see they have multiple locations after we moved!While the breakfast burritos (with chorizo!) are my fave, the street tacos are also excellent. I tried out the al pastor, carnitas, and chupa cabra - al pastor definitely won. Service is always professional and quick. Highly recommend.

Best tacos in Kirkland!!! I actually live pretty close by but never noticed this cute little food truck. I went all the way up to Bothell for tacos at the La Sabrosa Taqueria on the same day for lunch. I discovered it around dinner on the way to check out the newly opened Happy Lemon boba tea shop. Of course I want to try it too. I got the Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Chupa Cabral. They are great! I won't need to go all the way to Bothell for tacos now. I will be coming here all the time!!!

Excellent Quesadillas. Very large portion drizzled with cheesy sauce.Excellent home made salsa on the side.Super friendly service.

Carne asada tacos were more flavorful and tender than the Al Pastor tacos. My Mexican- borned boyfriend thought it was super weird that Al Pastor had pineapple chunks in it. Horchata was good! Flavorful and it didn't have ice so that was pretty cool. Truck was easy to find in the Shell gas station across the street from the Google building. Would probably come back for the burrito, but will skip the al pastor stuff.

I love that downtown Kirkland has a taco truck! The tacos here are good. Half of a taco's quality is in the tortilla, and it's very tasty. Get the carne asada, pastor, and the chupa cabra (their special). I'll try the burrito and torta next!

I rarely leave reviews. And people are more aptTo talk about a negative experience than a positive one. So I guess this fits the trope. But I have to start off with this: my favorite food of all time is a carne asada burrito. It has all the food groups. It's portable, resealable and most of all yummy. So I have a high standard. But even if I didn't this place would be dog shit. For the price they charge you can go to a sit down restaurant and get actual service. Do yourself a favor... drive to El Rinconsito in Bellevue. Yea it's farther away but you'll finish your meal with a smile, your salsa will have flavor and with the money you saved on an overpriced slop wrap it'll equal about the same when accounting for gas. Except el rinconsito doesn't charge you for a lime wedge .55 cents and then forget to put it in the bag. The meat (carne asada) was chewy and tough, the salsa had no flavor. It was just green or red and no flavor or hot and they stuck lettuce in the damn thing. That's a first from someone who has had burritos from Tia Juana and all the north through the coast to Vancouver BC. I know this is the East side and they have to whitewash this shit and charge exorbitant prices so that the mommies in yoga pants feel they're spending their husband engineer's money well. But next time if I'm in a bind and can't drive I'll saunter over to Qfc and get a bag or resers frozen burritos. Because at least I get ten for that price and I already expect one grade above dog food. You would think a taco truck would be cheaper and more efficient and actually know how to wrap a burrito. This thing looked like a kid from the 90's wearing clothes that are 3 sizes too big but with the audacity to say " what? You not gonna eat me?" And for the price I was strong armed into paying I'm not wasting the money. I've lived in DT kirkland for 10 years now. I've seen a lot of restaurants come and go. And I noticed that this one seems to stick around. So I gave it a shot. But it dawned on me that the only reason they're still here is that there's no rent to pay in a parking lot truck. Had these Jamokes had to pay a brick and mortar front and provide this type of food they would have been out of biz years ago. My only regret is that I did not slip on a banana peal on the sidewalk and give myself a concussion so that I couldn't remember this meal. If I were clinically depressed it would have driven me to the edge of suicide. Avoid this place. Get an AM PM corn dog. Instead. You know what to expect and it's priced for what it really is. The corn dog will never lie to you and pretend to be gourmand.
