Despite Seattle’s lame restrictions on food vendors, the city’s fleet of taco trucks is growing. Although you’ll get better tacos by sitting down at places like La Carta de Oaxaca and El Mestizo, you can’t beat this popular tacomobile for value. Among taco trucks, you can’t beat it for convenience; it’s right off the Othello light rail stop—no serendipity or driving around needed.
Don’t look for a traditional walk-up truck, though. There is one of those a bit north on Rainier Avenue South, but this here is the taco bus. An old-school bus painted white and outfitted with stainless steel counters and bar stools, a small kitchen, a TV blaring Univision, and a cooler full of Jarritos.
Among the many meats waiting to be stuffed into fresh tortillas, we like the carne asada (beef), carnitas, and tender lengua the best. Tacos El Asadero also carries all the usual sopecitos, burritos, mulitas (meat stuffed between two tortillas and grilled), and tortas.
