The crispy carnitas super burrito was muy delicious. Super crispy carnitas with the onions and rice and beans and Guac and sour cream and everything good. The lady serving was very nice and it was a pretty big size. Affordable excellent burrito. Came here twice within the week because it was just too good. There's other options and they all looked pretty good but I recommend the carnitas super burrito since it was so yummy. Also they had outside seating and it was pretty clean.

This little taqueria was just what I needed when I unexpectedly found myself in Poulsbo at lunch time. Friendly, fast service, good food, and a very clean restroom to us before I hit the road. I would return.

The squash burrito (vegetarian) was literally the best burrito of my life. My boyfriend had a meat burrito and said it was also one of the best burrito of his life BUT said mine was actually better. It was that good.

Burritos son de aros y frijoles y le agregan sólo poca carne. Casi nada. The burritos have mostly rice and beans with very little to no meat. Im a regular at this place. I've tried all their different (meat choices) burritos thinking maybe they were just running low on Al pastor. Nope . Regardless of the meat you select. You will get a bean and rice burrito with a sprinkle of meat. Was acceptable when the burritos were $9 ish dollars. Now they raised to over $10 however they have not improved the quantity or quality. Tacos are basic nothing to rave about. A little dry in my experience. The flavors are decent. And they have only given me the "shits" a couple of times. However no one uses gloves and I've seen the gentleman using his cellphone during an order. It's 2023 and I can bet my paycheck that gentleman has or regularly watches adult content on his cellphone. Idk about you but I don't want anyone la cellphone near my food. At the end of the day. If you miss your buss your day can't get worse by trying this spot. It's a convenience. Not a luxury. Price I pay for suspended license

Mind blown... HOW? How can this little hole in the wall restaurant (it is a restaurant, check the extensive menu) in the middle of a dirty, dilapidated, transient infested Bus Terminal be this freaking good?! Believe the hype, and if you don't or want to, believe your eyes as you drive by during meal times and see all the construction workers, bus drivers and blue collar types line up on a daily basis to get their food. This little unassuming place serves better food than the 2-3 Instagram taco trucks you see in your feed daily, hands down. Let the "influencers" and the idiots who follow them wait in line for those places, do yourself and your taste buds a favor and give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. What I had and base this review on: asada super burrito. I'm not an asada burrito type, but after seeing a couple of coworkers devour theirs during their breaks, I decided I would try one with an open mind.... Holy fuck. Huge portion, fresh, tasty ingredients, meat cooked and cut on point, everything just fit together to give me one of the best food surprises all year long. Support hardworking locals. Reward your taste buds. Go here.

It's at a bus stop, with only a small amount of seating if you want to dine there. The food was decent.

Great little hole in the wall restaurant! We stopped here after spending the day at the Boardwalk and were looking for somewhere low-key to eat before we headed home. This place did not disappoint. Tortillas were hand made and so good. I had the carne asada super taco with a side of rice and beans. My husband had the Al pastor burrito and said it was some of the best he's tasted. Tamales were also pretty good. Will definitely stop here again the next time we're in town.

Wonderful breakfast burritos. Homemade tortillas filled with delicious meats (mine was chorizo), potatoes, eggs, delicious refried beans, cheese. Reminiscent of the yummy burritos my Nana used to pack for us. Great service -super friendly and efficient. We were all choosy about our ingredients and they got it right and marked everything clearly. Tastiest breakfast for the road. Would definitely return.
