Happened upon here on a bike ride and I don't know what took me so long! Who doesn't love tacos and to have so many different variations kicks it up a notch. I had the Glazed Shrimp taco - loved the flavors and crispiness of the shrimp, and it was the perfect size for me (for lunch). Pair that with chips and guac, and a mango margarita and it was a perfect afternoon (love the small patio outside which made it so our dog could hang out as well). Will totally make this a standard stop on our Sunday bike rides to try out other different tacos.

Worst burrito I’ve ever had. It was bland, the tortilla was wet, the brisket was fatty and the “micro greens” they put in there tasted like grass. For $20 I’m very disappointed, I took 3 bites tossed it and left hungry.

The beet taco tasted phenomenal, despite how thick the corn tortilla was. The ribeye taco was pretty bland in my opinion. The Peruvian mahi taco was a very solid fish taco, not special but solid. The combination of flavors in the mushroom taco didn’t really work. The tortillas were so thick and flavorless that they were incidental on the good tacos but made the not so good tacos nearly inedible.

Tacos were amazing. Great combos!

My companion and I got a take-out order from Lifted Taco for our dinner about a week ago. The customer service lady was very nice. She asked us if it was our first time there, and we said that it was, so she explained that the tacos here are a little bit bigger than usual tacos. She said to order 2 tacos per person if we wanted a regular sized meal, and she said to order 3 tacos per person if we were really hungry. Well, we were really hungry, and I wanted alllll the tacos. So, we ordered 5 tacos to share between us. This did end up to be quite a lot of food. I felt full after eating about the equivalent of 2 tacos (1 or 2 bites of a couple of tacos, and about a third of each of the 3 other tacos). I am so thankful that Lifted Taco has a dedicated gluten-free menu. We ordered all of our Tacos gluten-free, since we were sharing them. The Pork Belly Taco's shell looked suspiciously like it had a regular flour tortilla. All of the other 4 tacos had a thicker tortilla with a very different texture. We did order all of our Tacos Gluten Free. Because this was my first time visiting, I can't be sure whether or not Lifted Taco has more than one gluten-free taco shell. I wasn't going to take any chances, though (my medical condition can painfully flare if I eat gluten), so I took just one bite of only the filling of the Pork Belly Taco, left that Taco shell untouched, and gave the rest of that Taco to my companion. The Pork Belly Taco was my least favorite Taco anyway out of the 5, so I wasn't feeling too disappointed to hand it over to my companion. The pork was a bit dry, and the vegetables overall had a very acidic taste, with nothing to really balance that out flavor-wise. The Tacos that we ordered are: The PNW Pork Belly The McFly Chicken The Wine-Drunk Beef The Shroomz The Peruvian Mahi The McFly Chicken, The Shroomz, and the Peruvian Mahi Taco were super delicious! I am giving 5 stars because to me these 3 Tacos were all most definitely 5 star Tacos! The combination of flavors in each of these Tacos was superb! There was a LOT of purple cabbage in the Shroomz Taco, the Peruvian Mahi Taco and the Wine-Drunk Beef Taco. I am a fan of purple cabbage, so I liked this. But something to note for those who are not as big of a fan of purple cabbage as I am. My companion's favorite Taco was the Wine-Drunk Beef, so I only had two bites of that taco, and gave the rest to him. It was good, but I LOVED those 3 other tacos, and I liked that beef taco, so again it was not hard for me to hand the rest of that one over to him. I was surprised by how filling these Tacos were. 2 Tacos per person actually would have been plenty. I'm glad that I got to try so many of the Tacos, though! I would definitely return to Lifted Taco to eat yummy Tacos again!

Very good food. Portions are a bit smaller than I expected, but it was good.

Didn’t care for this place. The tacos all tasted the same. It’s like there was no seasoning at all. At least the fried fish was fresh and hot from the frier. I suppose if they messed that up the Ivar’s crowd would burn them at the stake. Everything was overpowered by a massive hill of pickled cabbage, which also did not seem very fresh. The pork belly also seemed old. Offering a st Patrick’s day corned beef taco: not a good sign. High prices, but not slap in the face high. Expected for this area. Everyone seems to order the chips and queso. Wish I got that instead…

My motto for any restaurant is you have to at least try it. Friendly service and we enjoyed the food. I am a small eater so one taco was enough for me.
these tacos are so unique and super flavorful!! My boyfriend and I got three tacos each and they were absolutely delicious. I got the southwest falafel, the vegan lifted beets, and the Kentucky fried cauliflower. The service was super fast, maybe less than 5 minutes we got our tacos. They have a salsa bar you can pick from, the lifted taco sauce and the ghost pepper cranberry were my favorites! Cute cozy vibe, mellow music and modern furniture! I recommend this place 10 times over!!

Don’t question it. Don’t even look at the menu. Just go inside and order. Vegan friendly, gluten friendly, IBS mostly friendly with some changes to your taco. Breakfast is stellar and so is lunch. Try the Ribeye (ibs friendly) it’s amazing! 10/10 coming back

Charming place. Nice people.. I wanted to love it because it's tacos with a twist. We got the ahi taco bbqed pork taco, and mango salsa. The mango salsa was good. Good chips, healthy taste. The ahi was maybe not the freshest. Likely, considering the gut issues we had the next day.BbQ wasn't bad, a disappointment, though, considering it's dryness. Bbqed as in cooked hard, not BBQ sauce. Meh.Those tortillas, however, are thick and yummy. If they can get their flavors richer, it will be a great place.

Elevated and unique tacos. Nothing like it around the Seattle area. Don't expect Mexican, more like fusion. Really tasty food and quick fast casual service. Best Lunch under $20 and dinner under $30. Really good margs on draft. Amazing, unique Nitro cold brew tea. Many other beverages too. Chill vibe. Breakfast menu, main menu, kids menu, vegan menu, celiac menu. This place is for EVERYONE. The ribeye Taco for $8 is basically a light meal. Other tacos range from $6-$7.50 and they are at least 2x the size of a standard street Taco. Hopefully a few more if these open around the area. If you're ever anywhere near Woodinville, Bothell, Redmond, Kirkland area, check it out!
