All your Mexican favorites are here. Going to an American-style chain of 'fast food' will be comparable to coming here!

It's not easy to find great authentic Mexican food, although there are a number of places that are decent. El Kiosko is definitely one of my top go-to spots and a good value too. You must try the chicken taquitos & guacamole plate, which is far better than anywhere else i've tried. These are not dry at all, but very large and flavorful, with a perfectly crispy outside and it comes with rice, beans, sour cream and guacamole. My other favorite dish is the carne asada sopes, which are thick fried corn flour shells loaded with meat, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes etc. Honorable mention goes to the carne asada plate, carnitas tacos, tamales plate, and their chorizo breakfast burrito. It has a small dining area inside, so I usually get it to go, and there's outside seating when the weather is nice. Oh and they make very good red/green hot sauces, plus pickled peppers & onions which are nice.

Wanted tacos for a nighttime pick-me-up and they hit the spot! Chicken was well-seasoned but fish lacked a bit of flavor. Paired well with pico de gallo, lime, and salsa. The staff were friendly and they are clearly an important part of the community. Great local gem.

We came in this morning for a much needed chorizo breakfast burrito. We have had this before and absolutely loved it, so we got it again and decided to try something we never had before. We chose the Arroz con Pollo (#42) and it did not disappoint. We ordered our food to go and were on our way within ten minutes. I would absolutely dine in had our plans today allowed that-it was clean and a very chill place to be. We should have gotten more of their hot sauces-both the red and the green. I wish they sold these because we would keep these stocked in our fridge all the time. We love their food, fast service and flavors. Can't wait to try more!

Ambiance - More suitable for takeout than dining in. Right next to gas station. The area was a bit shady, but it was the best example of "Not to judge the book by its cover" (Street Food Vibes)We ordered 3 Tacos Plate (Pastor) and Burrito Plate (Pastor)I have never had rice and beans as good as this place in my life!!! MY GOD!! AMAZING!I found the tacos to be the best I've ever tasted in Seattle. The service was fast as well. However, the salsa was okay though. -1 only for ambiance. However, The food was 5/5!! (Best in Seattle so far)Def going back, probably for take out this time.

I came from LA. That should tell you how much I take tacos seriously.This is definitely a hole in the wall kind of taco place in Renton. But don't sleep on it. The inside of the restaurant is simple but clean. I came in a somewhat warm and smoky day, so I sat inside which has an AC running so it's perfect sitting inside.Food is brought to you if you are dining in. The server asked if I wanted some limes and hot sauce. Compared to the pictures here from other Yelpers, they have definitely removed the sauce bar. Instead, they bag their limes and bring you bottles of their salsa each table upon request. Their taco meat (asada & pastor) are pretty flavorful, and served hot! So you know they are not just sitting there for long and they just scope it up for you. They need to use 4 TVs to display their menu, so you know that's an extensive menu right there. I got the #1, four tacos plate ($9.99+ tax) with two asada (beef) and pastor (spicy pork). Service is pretty fast about 5-10minutes after order and they served up my food, even though there's been a lot of people coming in/out picking up their to-gos. The only reasons I gave 4 out of 5 stars:- I would prefer to be able to get any number of tacos if I want it instead of at a plate of four tacos. Four tacos is not enough, eight is too much. Sweet spot would have been 6 tacos imo.- A table next to us (Hispanic) was served right before we left was asked if they wanted grilled onions and their pickled vegetables on too, but my party (Asian) wasn't asked if we wanted it. I would love to have some charred grilled onions and jalapenos to go with my tacos for the full experience.Otherwise, the experience was great, food is affordable and tasted great! Will definitely be back to give it a try with other options!

Found another neighborhood gem! We were craving Mexican food and didn't wanna drive too far. He wanted tacos, I wanted a rice dish so we got both! The carne asada dish was just the right amount. The tacos were equally delicious! It's a tiny space but it's s clean and cozy. It feels like eating at someone's home We'd be back for sure!

Cheap quick and hits the spot. They are opened a bit earlier than most places around so it's wonderful when I need to have my lunch early. Their portions and service never disappoints. Sit down and support this local family shop, they will make you feel welcome

Finding Mexican food in Renton is not hard.What is hard is choosing WHERE to go.If you want casual dining, great food with that homestyle feel, AND you are in Downtown Renton, choose El Kiosko! El Kiosko is not merely a secret hole-in-the-wall in the Renton dining scene. It's that reliable neighborhood restaurant; your go-to, if you want something both tasty and familiar. At least 20 different dishes flash on the menu-screens. The friendly cashier also packs your to-go-order and delivers your food to you, hot from the window to your table - hot sauce bottles in hand. That's service!I ordered two beef tacos with flour tortilla. And since I was extra hungry, I ordered chicken burrito platter - served with a healthy dose of sauce refried beans, rice, and topped with sour cream and guacamole (didn't need to ask for it. It just came with it).For fun, what I ordered would've been comparable in price to Taco Bell or Taco Time (not to disparage the two chains). However. food quality wise my tummy was definitely happy.So, now that you know, come check out another great Mexican option for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a happy appetite!
