The West Seattle Taco Truck


For quite a while now, I've been trying to make it to the West Seattle Taco Truck. Taco trucks are a revered source of Mexican cuisine, and this truck didn't dissapoint.



I went with a simple steak burrito for $6. It's not the biggest burrito in the world, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up in taste. Without any of the provided sauces, it was very mild. This would place it well within the eating abilities of someone who was not fond of spicier foods. I tried both sauces, and I think the green sauce was the hottest, but I wasn't sure. I would describe them as being in the mild to medium range. Anyone who wants it really hot should probably provide their own hot sauce, although I didn't check to see if they had anything else.




It seemed to come with steak, rice, refried beans, lettuce and sour cream. I didn't really pick it apart to find out. It just tasted so good. I think I'm going to be eating at the taco truck more often.

That's One Good Burrito!

The weight of One Good Burrito

In our quest for One Good Burrito, I decided to try out Taco Del Mar for lunch a few weeks ago. I couldn't quite bring myself to buy a Mondo burrito... and instead went for the 400-ish calorie Mondito Burrito with chicken. A good choice I must say, but it didn't quite make the "One Good Burrito" distinction. 

It did however, bring upon conversation on what One Good Burrito would weigh in comparison to cost and size. We placed bets on what the burrito weighed, my guess was like 5 pounds. I was totally off.  The first picture shows the true weight-cost-size comparison, just over 1 lb. for a little over $5.  

Was it worth it? 

Well, the burrito was good, but not One Good Burrito Good...

The quest continues.
