Taqueria La Estacion

Sorry my friend and I didn’t like meals at all. I checked reviews and almost 5 stars. But taste was not good at all!

A touch on the expensive side for a taqueria, but they have damned good food and amazing sauces.
The staff are very nice and the service is prompt. But it’s tight quarters in there, not the most comfortable eating space.
Still, it’s our favorite taqueria in Burien, which is saying something, because Mexican fast food joints are a dime a dozen in that area.

Tacos are delish… this place always seems to be pretty busy. It’s definitely not fancy, but I go there for the food, not the atmosphere.
:)

Delicious food and very nice people. I often order on the Eat24 app when I’m on the way home from work. I can get a couple of tacos, tamales, and a drink for a reasonable price and be happy for the rest of the night! I do wish the app had a way to order chips and salsa, though.

Not bad! Good, low priced, very good with food presentation. Probably better than any tacos I’ve had in Seattle. The place is not real fancy, but the people are nice and they give good service
estos tacos son muy buenos

Super friendly service, and delicious food. The prices are fair, and there is a large menu to choose from. The asada is a good choice for tacos, and you can smell the chicken being barbecued on their outdoor grill. A nice little secret spot!

I should have ordered the Lamb dishes they had as they were a lot more delicious. I ordered the chicken dish and it had a bit of a smell that I did not really like. Overall it was a great experience they also had live mariachi music going on for a bit.

Great Mexican food! Ambiance n food complement each other. Burritos, horrified, n tamales! Muy excellente!

I was craving chicken tamales. I searched for chicken tamales on Unilocal and looked through a few reviews on this restaurant. This was my first time coming to buy chicken tamales. I can say I am a satisfied customer. I will be back to try more food thats on the menu. Good customer service too.

Ewww. Never again. Tasted horrible. Didn’t even finish my food. Tacos were ok. Nachos were gross. soggy, tomatoes and cilantro were not fresh. Avocado were brown. Looked like things were thrown on top of each other and put in microwave. I’ll stick to my place down the street

I live in San Diego. This taco shop competes with my home town. It’s worth the drive if it’s a little out of your way. Salsa isn’t as good but the food is. Enjoy!

Great place to get just good food. Pick anything you can’t go wrong. The carne asada tacos are great! The flavors are awesome and the addition to radish and pickled onion send these tacos to the next level. Just wait until you add the salsa to just enhance them even more. #foodandbbq

Best carne asada I have ever had! Great food and friendly service means that I will be back!

California Native not that many Mexican Resturants that I can say are good here in Washington but if your looking for Pollo Asado this is the spot! Great service food and drinks are worth the drive nice family friendly environment. Will be coming back again

Just what you’d expect from a place like this. I tried the famous carne asada tacos and I also tried the chicken tamale. The asada taco was very good, nothing out of this world, but overall a very solid taco. you won’t be sad if you get this. The tamale was also good, and pretty big (1 tamale and 1 taco filled me up!) and for 1.99, i thought this was a great value.
The pork tamale was a little more dry than the chicken or the cheese, but once you smother it in sauce, who cares?!
Which brings me to my next point, the salsas that they so lovingly bring out to your table are «spisy-​spicy!» as my grandma said. I liked the unique flavor of the avocado one. They have more mild salsas on request. The server was very nice and brought our food to us, and you get free chips and salsa! woohoo!!!
From now on, I will choose this over the nearby chain.

Comida muy rica y servicio muy amable cada ves que voy. Los sopes, enchiladas, los burritos y el pillo asado es delicioso. Tambien es muy economico y nada comparado al rinconsito que se volvio muy fast food.

We just moved to Seattle and have been on the hunt for the perfect taco spot. This place is unbelievable! It’s everything you could want and more. Amazing flavors, just the right amount of spice and heat and all served up with awesome service. Already looking forward to going back.

Damn this is good food. This is THE type of place you want to go to get authentic Mexican food, and despite its exterior appearance, this is the good stuff!
If you’re a Caucasian, non-​spicy sissy girl, like me… you wanna steer clear of the green and red salsa served complimentary with their warm chips. That $*#t is spicy! Instead, order a side of Pico de Gallo and a side of guac. Mix a little of the green sauce with the guac and you’ve got the fixins for your main dish.
I’ve now been there two times and will continue to go there… and even make the drive from Renton just to get more of the fresh asada (beef) tacos. They’re served on what are seemingly fresh corn tortillas with red onion, radish, and cilantro. Three serve me up just right. When with another guest, he tried one of the asada tacos, one of the pollo (chicken), and one of the puerco (pork) tacos. He agreed that the asada was dynamite, with the pollo not far behind, but suggested the puerco was too greasy and not quite as flavorful.
During our second trip, I hit the asada tacos once again while my dad chose the pollo quesadilla and asada tacos. The quesadilla was $ 3.99 and could have served as either a large lunch or a small dinner. Talk about a steal!
The only kicker is that the parking lot is very small, and it is a little close for comfort inside, too. Those two points are VERY easily overlooked when they’re kickin’ out food the way they are… consistently authentic and delicious.

This place is like all the great places I have eaten in Mexico. Friendly good food large selection of things not just Tacos. I love this place so cool can’t wait to bring my wife here she will love it.

A friend recommend this place for my love of Mexican food. I prefer food trucks and small hole in the wall joints like this one over places like Azteca or Las Margaritas because of the authenticity.
PROS:
Ambiance: Nothing too fancy but all the tables and floors were very clean.
Food: Delicious! My husband and I ordered the half chicken plate, asada (beef) and carnitas (fried pork) tacos.
We were started off with chips and two kinds of salsas (red and green). The chips were fresh and warm. The green salsa has a creamy texture with a slight kick of spices. After 4 – 5 bites, my mouth was on fire! However, I couldn’t stop eating because it was so good. The red salsa looked spicy but it was rather mild with a nice kick of seasoning to it.
The chicken plate was served with with a salad, rice and beans. The chicken was amazing. It was grilled so it had a nice smoky flavor to it. It was extremely juicy and flavorful. One of the best re-​fried beans and rice that I’ve had. The salad was just a simple tossed lettuce salad served with ranch dressing. The creaminess from the dressing complimented well with the rest of the dish.
The pork tacos had a good amount of meat in each serving. The pork was tender and seasoned well.
Service: Everyone was nice and attentive. Our food came out very quickly.
Price: Very affordable! Tacos are $ 1.25 each and the half chicken plate was $ 10.
CONS:
Food: The only thing that I was dissatisfied with was the asada tacos. They barely had any meat and was rather dry. I wouldn’t order that again. The limes were also very dry as well.
Parking: Very limited parking.
Space: Limited seating. My friend mentioned that it gets very packed on the weekends.

Very authentic and one of the best places for Mexican food in Burien. They have a great selection of soups along with some of the staples. You have to be into really authentic Mexican food to enjoy Taqueria La Estacion so be prepared for some flavors you’ve not seen or tasted before. The Consume de Borrego (lamb soup) is pretty special here. And you can experiment with tongue or tripe (ask for extra crispy) tacos here. This is good place as a substitute for frequenting one of the taco trucks in White Center.
