  Great Mexican taqueria. Five stars best in the area. The sauce is the best here out of any other trucks in south seattle. I go to trucks because restaurants never prepare real taqueria style food. Carnitas (pork), steak, chicken... all so yummy here.
  
  This is a remodeled bus you can actually climb on and sit on stools. My kids love it. It is always clean here.
  
  This should be your first choice for Mexican food.

  $1 tacos!! They got me at $1.. & not $1.75+ which is normal nowadays for tacos. I've been here before, and it's always enough to satisfy my cravings. Obviously the popular choice for people in white center is the other 2 trucks nearby but I won't get into that right now..
  
  This older bus has been parked at the corner in burien/white center for the longest time! The first time I ever visited, I got confused and walked to the side of the bus thinking someone will take my order at the window. Noooope, there is the back entrance for you to walk in, order and just hang out while waiting for your food. I called and placed an order & they are so quick to get it done!
  
  Honestly, $1 tacos is a great steal! I LOOOOOVE tacos and my usual I can eat is about 5 but other places that would cost me about $7-$8 in which I tell mysef to get a banh mi for half that price and way more fulfilling lol. Today I got 4 for $4 and it was enough to satisfy my cravings but I probably could have chowed down another 4. I definitely thought it lacked onions and cilantro though and I missed my side pieces (beets, carrot, lime, etc) so my meal felt a bit incomplete. Saw from another yelp pic that they do have it.. I guess I just need to ask next time.
  
  Definitely will call and order again when I'm craving cheap tacos or burritos!

  This is my favorite Taco Pl in the area!  The rest are over populated, over rated and slightly more expensive.  This is definitely one of those " Do  not judge a book by it's cover" kind of pl!  
  
  When you first see its exterior; huge-older bus, you might hesitate! Go ahead, give it a try and you'll be surprised.  Great quality food and service, and you can actually see right into the kitchen as they're cooking.
  
  I often call in orders for pick up as the bus can get a bit crowded at times.  However, they do also provide an outdoor picnic table-type covered area.
  
  I've had tacos from many places ;). I'm a Mexico  born-Mexicana who knows her tacos if that helps make your decision faster

  This is one of the best Taco  Buses  in South King County and all of greater South Seattle communities!
  
  They have 3 types of Tacos they sell for $1 and all are tasty. I recommend the Birria! Amazing variety of taco meats from Tongue to Tripe (two of my fav's) as well as solid Carne Asada and carnitas! Their red Salsa is super spicy which I love!!
  
  Their small burrito  $2 is a great deal and overall they have amazing options in their entire menu! But truly the best part that sets them apart from the competition is that they are open until 11pm at night 7 days a week!!
  I have their phone number saved to my favorites and they are always super fast on their orders!
  
  They are located right on the south border between White Center and Burien across the street from a Papá Murphy's pizza. Within the 1.5 miles of white center they are in there are (5) continuously operating taco trucks and the competition is no joke but these guys are solid!
  
  This may be the only Taco Bus in White center where you can dine inside the taco too which is the way to go since their Salsa bar with pickled onions and Habanero peppers is super tasty. Highly recommend you get your Tacos inside the bus sit down and top em with a mix of Salsa, Pico de Gallo, & onions and watch some soccer on the tv inside and enjoy yourself a Tasty taco or two! (5 our if 5 on my Tacazoooooooo meter!) oh yeah their militas are bomb!! Basically a small Carne Asada quesadilla with avocado and salsa Verde!! Sooooo good!!

  I would like to start off by saying that this location was really hard to find on google and apple maps. It says that it is on 16th AVE SW, but the gps brings you to Ambaum and 116th, when in reality it's on 16th ave and 112th, past the McDonalds if you're heading north bound.
  
  Aside from being hard to find, here is what I have to say about the actual taco truck:
  -The atmosphere is really nice, it's a cool design concept.
  -The tacos and mulitas were just okay, they were lacking some flavor. It's a bummer because the place in South Seattle gave us 3 mulitas for $6, and this place only gives 2 for $6, and the mulitas are tiny and not that great.
  -I love Mexican food, it satisfied my cravings, but it didn't live up to the hype that the other reviews established.
  -The horchata is more milky than cinnamon, alright.
