This place slaps. Carne asada tacos are the best thing on the menu and come loaded with guac and seared crispy steak. Great value and great food.

This is such a great taco shop! The staff are friendly & the food is amazing! We love everything we've tried here. It's mostly just for takeaway, unless you want to sit at one of the few little tables outside on the sidewalk.

very reasonably priced tacos! current price is only $4 each and they are larger than street size tacos. staff was very nice and our food was ready right when they said it would be, only a 20 minute wait for 6 tacos. they did go a little heavy on the onion but that's just personal preference

This place always makes me happy! My go to are either the shrimp tacos or shrimp burrito. 3 tacos fills you up and the burrito is a monster!!! My ONLY thing that bums me out is that they stopped making their own chips which use to be amazing! I believe they now buy them from Costco. All in all, I love this place and they are are always super nice and fast!

Great prices, generous portions and I loved the pollo a la crema. The meat in the quesadilla tasted a little questionable thoughFood is ready when they say it's gonna be ready, wish they had an online portal to order but they pick up calls super fast.

Our favorite spot! We moved to Seattle and someone brought us tacos from here the first night. We haven't stopped going since. We love everything we have tried but my favorite is the hard shell chicken taco. The salsa is some of the best we have had. Add the guacamole, but buy your favorite chips at the local grocery store (Ken's).

Love this place. I used to eat at their Ballard location all the time. They do whole beans and I'm a big fan. The salsa is great. I don't try ink you can go wrong with anything you order here.
Absolutely delicious! I got the carne asada tacos and oh my goodness--the veggies were so fresh and the meet was cooked to perfection. The salsa was amazing. And I have high expectations when it comes to Mexican food. You must give this place a try. Pro tip: call in your order ahead of time so you can skip the line.Parking: There isn't a parking lot so you have to find street parking.

Melena’s is home to my all time favorite burrito in Seattle. Their cooks fry the carnitas on a skillet with onions before putting them into the burrito, giving you an addicting mini crunch texture with most of your bites. I’ve gone here about a dozen times over the last year and they have been on point with their consistency. I would hands down recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Mexican food in Seattle!

Amazing fish tacos! The portions at this shop are generous and the food is delicious. I'd recommend calling to place an order in advance as the wait can be 15-20mins and there's not much room for dining in.

$17 for a burrito that's half onion/bell pepper and half low quality meat? No cheese? No flavor?? I hate to be a bummer with local foods- especially this place, I've had great food here before. But charging this much for what customers are receiving is highway robbery. I was expecting to cut into a worthy $17 burrito. In hindsight, I'm better off cooking at home.

Love the convenience of this place - friendly, neighborhood mexican restaurant with great taco plates and burritos - homemade salsa is SO good!
