) "Their food is delicioso 😋 taco, tortas, burritos, beans and rice."
"Delicious street tacos served with grilled pepper and onion."
5 I'm from Texas and was skeptical about one of the most highly acclimated Seattle taco spots. Taqueria la Fondita delivered! These are solid tacos by any standard. I understand the love they get. Try the asada and pastor tacos. They're both great choices to explore more traditional styles of street tacos.
5 The adobada tacos are awsome. They have great flavor and the meat is tender. I like how they serve each taco with double tortilla and give you some caramelized onions om top. If your up to it eat that grilled jalapeno they give you. It's delicious but hot. Don't say I didn't warn you. And last of all take your patient's because it does get full, but it's well worth it.
4 Lengua, asada, and carnita tacos were amazing. The birria was not flavorful (maybe it was an off night). Husband liked his enchiladas. The rice and beans were average. Horchata was well balanced but a little too sweet for me. We’ll stop by again. I have more meat options to try.
5 Great taco truck with picnic benches for eating. Although some of the meals are a little pricey, all the food was good. Horchata is delicious also. Very good place to stop by if you want some tacos, would go again.
4 Busy busy busy! This place is hopping on a Friday night, but the quality doesn't suffer. The tacos were juicy and flavorful and came with the extra onion and (super) spicy pepper. Service did take a while, but for what you get it's great. The only issue is that the prices on the menu and advertising are inconsistent, so you'll have to make sure youre being charged the better, advertised price.
4 Dinner was great big plates quick service good price everything I have Grace say about this place except except for the fact that we ordered tacos and we did not receive no lime with our order or cilantro other than one leaf it’s like the whole point of a good taco is lime and cilantro and they failed me there in time was great again no lime maybe take him a year lines are short change
5 went looking for the best tacos in White Center and was recommended that i come here. Had Carnitas and Adobada tacos and carne asada burritos. The flavor was perfect not too spicy portions are on the smaller side but still great for the low price. Casual laid back atmosphere with an outdoor urban park style setting. Excellent and friendlystaff with quick service. I recommend to all my friends. Overall worth a trip out to white center for any Taco fan.
5 Absolutely delicious and cheap. It's funny they spelled it "cheep" in their outside ad, maybe it's a pun. Anyway, great food truck and quick service. I love they give you a grilled onion and pepper with your tacos. I'll be going back for more!
The asada, pastor, and adobada tacos come highly recommended, with flavorful meats and traditional toppings like caramelized onions and grilled jalapeños.
It’s great for both quick bites and relaxed dining, offering fast service with options to dine in or grab food to go.
Fridays and weekend evenings tend to be busy, so visiting during weekday lunch or early dinner hours might be more comfortable.
Yes, the casual and trendy atmosphere suits groups and families well, and there’s a kids' menu and plenty of seating options.
Yes, Taqueria la Fondita #2 has wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, outdoor seating, and accepts various card payments for convenience.
