Taqueria Jacarandas

So, take it from a Mexican, this food is amazing! Not too Salty or Greasy, like most Mexican restaurants. And the Salsa is TOO DIE FOR! I saw some one stars, I can’t understand, maybe you ordered the wrong thing… I had the Steak Quesadilla, the meat was so juicy like carne asada and packed loaded… for $ 8! You really can’t beat it. I think this is the BEST place I have eaten outside of my families own cooking. The lady cook was so nice, she has an amazing talent. The Habanero Salsa will set you on fire, but it is well worth it. If you are stuck in one of the surrounding hotels, I definitely recommend this place if you like Mexican, it is the real deal!

We went here because it had four stars. How was it? Let’s put it this way: usually my wife doesn’t eat her rice and beans at a place like this but this time she was. I, thinking they must be really good, reached over with my fork and asked «can I try some?» «No!» «Um, ok. … Why?» Fork frozen mid-​air. «Because the chicken is so bad I can’t eat it and I’m hungry.» (Blink.) So I tried the chicken, and boy was it bad. Not just «meh,» but funny, spoiled taste. I didn’t eat it either.
As for my entrées, I tried two: tacos (it’s a taqueria) and a weird burrito type dish. Neither one had any flavor other than grease. No spices, no peppers, no texture, not even hot from the kitchen, which was all of five feet away.
Plus, no atmosphere. It’s a hole in the wall, but wouldn’t you expect at least a little attempt to add some décor, maybe a friend’s sketch, a colorful blanket or the traditional colored $ 3 xmas lights? Nope.
Just a thoroughly one-​star place. What are you five star people thinking is really good here?

Food is always great! The lady taking your order is always so kind! Love their steak tacos. they are perfection!

4.5 stars? You mexican food eaters in this area need to get out more. I had the super wet burrito with «steak». I had to physically remove about half of the «meat» from my mouth because it was so tough and chewy and over-​cooked. If there’s rice on the plate, there should not be rice in the burrito. That’s called cheap filler. Beans out of a can. Guac was green colored «tooth paste». Only positive: 3 different sauces in squirt bottles, habanero the best.

Husband loved the beef tacos and ALL the homemade sauces. I got the chicken quesadillas, really cheesy. And the guacamole, yummy!!! Staff was super nice. Too bad we live in Tampa, Florida or we’d be here all the time.

First time there. Good was delicious. Had chicken ranchero. Nice and spicy. Beans were some of the best I’ve had. Will definitely return.

Great find! I’d highly recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious ! We were in town for just one night before flying home and stopped in because of reviews here on Unilocal.Everything was freshly made and delicious.

I have been to this place a couple times when going to the airport. Always thought it was good until Wednesday May 22 my boyfriend and I both ate here. Later that day while my boyfriend was on a 15 hour international he became really sick and puked the entire way there. Later that day I came down with the same thing for the past 2 days we have both been puking and puking. We got food poisoning from here. Likely bad meat.

Good food and nice people, what more can you ask for? I would totally return if I lived here, but I don’t.

If you like hole in the wall places, this is a must go. It is a small family ran restaurant, and the food is great. I started out with the chips and salsa and not only did the chips come out warm and crispy, the salsa was perfect for my taste. Not spicy… so some may not like that… but a great tomato based salsa. I ordered a wet beef burrito and when it came out I loved it. The steak was extremely flavorful. Just the right mixture of meat, onions, lettuce, rice and whatever else he put in there. When I was paying the owner told me that his wife had picked up the wrong meat that morning so that he thought the meat was a little tougher than it should have been. I don’t know how it could get any better, but I look forward to going back and trying on «with the right meat.»

Tacos Al Pastor anyone? Quite frankly I never expected a down home taco shop such as this place next to the Sea airport. After I took my first bite of the Al Pastor a tacos I asked the waitress to please tell the owner the tacos were perfect! Don’t change anything! Adelante

This place is a hidden gem. Amazing authentic mexican food. My favorite is the tacos and torta.

Really fricking good! Ordered 3 carnitas tacos for $ 4 and damn they were some of the best I’ve had. Will be back!

Staying at a local hotel I was looking for a good Mexican restaurant and I found it here. Great service and even better food.

Even the mist picky ester in our family, loved his WET BEEF BURRITO.
Salsa, though quite mild was most flavorful. We treated our selves to the Mexican sodas. Though the place IS a hole in the wall, it appeared clean and the owner/​server was very warm and welcoming.

Very good food… Small little hole in the wall you shouldn’t pass up. Service was good and quick if needed

Excellent food! A hole in the wall that is a real gem. I had the camarones mojo de ajo. Mexican prawns with garlic, onion and mushrooms. With delicious rice and beans, tortillas !! Try it!

What a great little find a little hole in the wall mom and pop operation that puts out some great tasting Mexican food. I found it last time I was in sea tac and each time I fly in that’s where I have dinner or lunch and I saw this time but they are offering breakfast I haven’t tried that yet but if their breakfast is as good as everything else they fix they’ve got a winner

Best Mexican I’ve had. Everything is so fresh and you can tell it is all homemade. I came with a group of 5 people and there wasn’t a single complaint from any of us.

Great authentic homemade Mexican food! Growing up in SoCal, and moving to Oregon, we can’t ever find a decent «taco shop» up here. We were in Seatac for a few days for my husbands work. We found this little gem and ate there two nights in a row.
