Lunch at Tacos Guaymas White Center

Earlier today, after shopping the West Seattle Farmers Market we arrived two minutes too late (3:02pm) to grab lunch at Eats so we drove up the street originally intending to have lunch at the Salvadorean Bakery.

But then we noticed Tacos Guaymas was open and remembering how much fellow blogger, brilliant legal mind and reader of this blog Balasubramani loves this joint, we changed plans, found street parking and quickly went in.

After a long, fun  day of browsing and shopping in West Seattle and with only a cup of coffee for breakfast my friend Kris and I were really hungry. So we ordered the Wet carne asada burrito for me (such a generous sized burrito I just had to cut it in half and take the rest home).

Side of delicious red sauce,  homemade guacamole, pico de gallo, salsa verde, chipotle sauce and onion, jalapeño and carrot pickle. Everything was divine, everything made on the premises, fresh as can be.

And who knew, open on Sundays! Cash and Visa only.

Nice reviews. I am visiting Seattle next week and looking for a good cheap diner or cafe in Queen Anne/worlds' fairgrounds areas. Do you know of any?

Last time I went to my favorite Guaymas next to the Harvard QFC (near Pike/Broadway) they took both ATM and credit cards!

My favorite: the smothered chile verde burrito. Enough food for two!

Hi Katie! Yep, some do, others don't. I wish all of them did. :-) V

The wet chili colorado burrito remains my favorite Friday lunch. I grew up in Colorado around plenty of mom 'n pop places like this, but the Tacqueria Squeamish, as we call it, is one of the best I've ever been to in the either the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones.

It's far, far, far better than the short lived Mission Style Burritos of West Seattle that had something called a "pot roast burrito w/ brown gravy."

Talk about unclear on the concept.

BTW - the West Seattle location is cash only.

Hi pops! I totally agree with you. Guaymas White Center is not the place to go for "atmosphere" or decor but for the food only. The place is a bit scary looking but the food is so good. Who knew? ;-)

And yes, the reason I never go to other Guaymas is the cash only bit. For a local independent business this big, it should take Visa/ATM/MC at every location. V

I'm glad that I inspired you to eat there. You can't go wrong.

I was in Portland this weekend and checked out a new Indian/fusion place called vindalho. Next time you are down there it's worth a look.
