"This place!! Omg.. we love this taco and tortas place in Burien. We have always stopped by for dinner and they run out of few meat options but always have the one I love - Longainza.. i absolutely love their tortas and order their longainza torta and devour every bite of it.. they have 4 sauces and each of them compliment the torta and elevate the flavors!! Love their spiciest and second spicy one - but I am a total spice lover so drizzle at your own risk. There is plenty of indoor seating and food is served pretty quick. Reasonably priced tortas and portion size is good to stuff one up solid. Staff is friendly and you always have regulars stop by. They have ample parking. I cant wait to stop by and try their al pastors cos I am sure they will taste divine. See you soon again."

"Came here for the first time and can definitely say I'll be back! First off, service was insanely good. Just really good people making really good food. The guy who took our order was so friendly and genuine. He recommended the tortas and said his favs for tacos are al pastor and the campechano meats, which is what I went with. Tacos had lots of meat and lots of flavors. I also liked that the sauces they had (not pictured) came in squeeze bottles for easy dispensing. The tortas were similarly great and had crispy cheese! I got one carnitas and one al pastor torta. Since 2 come in an order they're great for sharing. Meats were very flavorful, probably some of the better ones I've had at a Mexican restaurant. Ambiance was casual. Bench seating and nothing fancy, but very clean and well maintained. Just felt like such a good, honest business and it's not often I feel that kind of warmth when I eat out."

"Tasty tacos. Usually like asada the most but the Al pastor w pineapple was fire Tortas are also good but I feel like the bread kinda swallows some flavor I liked how there were multiple tasty salsa options brought out. Staff were real friendly and offered recommendations Seating can be a little tough restaurant filled up fast after I sat down and some ppl were waiting for seats. Food came fast tho waited no more than 10 min Excited to try other menu items they had a lot on there"

"I just absolutely adore everything about this restaurant. The family that owns this place is just so warm and welcoming! Their food is hands down one of the best TACOS in WA. Hands down the best, I’ve only ever had another favorite taco truck and that is back in California. Their food taste so authentic and homemade and every time i comeback it always taste just exactly how I had it the very first time. The dad who is Paco, always come and check in on us and asked how everything is. This place will always be my number one for tacos."

"We just hit the "restaurants" button in Maps and this place was along our route. The young lady who took our order was polite and helpful with our questions. We started with the chicharrones, which were phenomenal. We each had 4 different meat options for the tacos and each one was truly delicious. Be warned, when she said the one sauce was hot, she was not underselling it. All 4 sauces they had were good and flavorful and I like some heat, but the habenero (?) was SUPER hot. The verde was a little hotter than expected, but not too hot. The other 2 were tasty, but no real spice. We will 100% be back to try all the things."

"These folks are some of the nicest people you'll ever have the chance of talking to. I came in and was immediately greeted and was given recommendations for my first time. I didn't catch his name but the gentleman that looks like Puka Nacua was one of the nicest guys ever, checking up on us and sparking conversation. The food was amazing too, they had meat slow roasting on the trompo, the al pastor had a crispy and slightly charred taste to it. The street tacos were more filling than I expected, they really top it off so when you take a bite and everything falls out, you'll have an extra taco with the 2nd tortilla it comes with. I'll end with a piece of advice, you'll be told which salsa and sauces are spicy, it's important that you listen and understand that the light orange one is the extremely spicy one. It's a good tasty type of spicy but man, I am still feeling it the day after. This might be the go-to place for tacos if you live in the area."
