Taco City was incredible! My bestie & I had the best Sunday gals’ brunch day! The service & staff are so lovely. We took all their food & drink recommendations and loved it all so much. The birria tacos are truly incredible. So is the ceviche. Highly recommend!! Can’t wait to go back.

🌮 ✨ Taco City Taqueria – A Columbia City Recess & A Call to Action ✨🍸 I’ll be real with you: I didn’t walk into Taco City as a diehard taco fan. Seattle has let me down more times than I can count when it comes to tacos. My standard was set years ago in Georgia, where pastor tacos turned me into a believer. Since then, every attempt in Seattle—besides one Tex-Mex exception—has been underwhelming. That changed when I walked from Brain and Body Recess to Taco City Taqueria, following Dr. Thomas’s recommendation. The Food Experience 🌮 Pastor Tacos – Pineapple-kissed pork with green sauce. Solid flavor and easily the best tacos I’ve had in Washington so far. My only note? If the green sauce had just a little more kick, these would be unstoppable. 🍸 Spiced Watermelon Martini – The true MVP

I've been here tons of times, and it's seriously one of the best, if not *the* best, taquerias in South Seattle. The main reason I keep coming back is that it's the only place around here with awesome vegan options. From empanadas to Impossible tacos, they even have vegan cheese and sour cream. Plus, their drinks are great. This time, I got a raspberry mocktail, and it was delicious. The service provided is both prompt and attentive. As a vegan, here's what I'd suggest for the menu: nopal or hongos for tacos or burritos, vegan nachos, and vegan elote (or esquites). You could totally make it with vegan cheese and vegan sour cream (instead of mayo). Just saying! And don't get me wrong, I appreciate the vegan options. I'm coming back!

Very cute taco shop! The vibe is good. The staff was incredibly kind. I like the chairs. Parking was easy. I got 3 tacos and rice and beans. It was very good and very filling. The price is affordable for a sit down spot. I personally don’t drink anymore but seemed like they had some really good options. I will stop back by when I am in the area. I could see myself bringing friends here and getting tacos and yapping. Highly suggest checking it out.

Drove from Puyallup to Seattle just to come to this place. Super excited but due to traffic we got there 21 minutes before they closed at 9. I told them that it was my friend‘s birthday and we just wanted a drink and some cute pictures and the bartender was super rude and said “at this point you’re going to get to go cups” I told them technically it’s not 9 yet and still had 15 minutes left but whatever. I paid $35 for two drinks that were not even good. The place is super tiny and now I know why it’s always empty.
