At TJ's Street Tacos, we believe that great food starts with the freshest ingredients. Located in the heart of Seattle, our food truck at 129 Belmont Ave E is known for serving up the best tacos in the city. From our savory asada to our mouth-watering adobada, we take pride in every dish we create. In this blog post, we'll take you on a journey through the fresh and delicious ingredients that make our tacos, burritos, and other offerings so special. 

The Heart of Mexican Food: Fresh Ingredients

When it comes to Mexican food, freshness is key. At TJ's Street Tacos, we source our ingredients from local farmers and suppliers to ensure that every bite is packed with flavor. Whether it's the juicy tomatoes in our salsa or the crisp lettuce in our burritos, you can taste the difference that fresh ingredients make. Each item on our menu is crafted with care, keeping in mind the vibrant traditions of Mexican cuisine. We believe that by using fresh ingredients, we honor these traditions and provide our customers with an authentic and unforgettable dining experience.

Asada: A Customer Favorite

One of the most popular choices at our taco stand is the asada. Made from high-quality beef, our asada is marinated in a blend of spices and grilled to perfection. The result is a tender, flavorful meat that pairs perfectly with our fresh tortillas and toppings. Our asada is not just about the taste; it's about the experience. The sizzling sound of the beef on the grill, the aroma that fills the air, and the first bite that bursts with flavor all come together to create a memorable meal. It's no wonder our asada tacos are a favorite among our regulars.

Adobada: A Taste of Tijuana

Adobada, or marinated pork, is another staple of our menu. This traditional Tijuana taco filling is seasoned with a mix of spices and slow-cooked until it's tender and juicy. It's a must-try for anyone looking to experience authentic street tacos. The rich, smoky flavor of our adobada is a testament to the time and care we put into its preparation. We use a traditional marinade recipe that includes chilies, vinegar, and a secret blend of spices, ensuring that every bite is packed with authentic Mexican flavors. Whether you're a longtime fan of adobada or trying it for the first time, you'll love our take on this classic dish.

Chicken: A Versatile Protein

Our chicken tacos are a hit with customers of all ages. We use only the freshest chicken, marinated and grilled to lock in flavor. Whether you prefer your tacos mild or spicy, our chicken provides a versatile base that can be customized to your liking. The quality of our chicken is evident in every bite. We source our poultry from trusted suppliers who raise their chickens without antibiotics, ensuring that you get a healthy and delicious meal. Our chicken is perfect for those looking for a lighter option that doesn't compromise on taste.

Chorizo: A Spicy Delight

For those who like a bit of heat, our chorizo tacos are the way to go. This spicy sausage adds a kick to any dish and pairs wonderfully with our fresh salsas and toppings. It's a popular choice for those looking for a bold, flavorful meal. Our chorizo is made using a traditional recipe that balances heat and flavor perfectly. We grind the meat in-house and mix it with a blend of spices that includes paprika, garlic, and cumin. The result is a chorizo that's not too greasy, with a deep, smoky flavor that's sure to please spice lovers.

Cabeza: A Traditional Treat

If you're feeling adventurous, try our cabeza tacos. Made from beef head, this traditional Mexican filling is rich and flavorful. It's a unique option that you won't find at many other taco stands in Seattle. Cabeza is slow-cooked for hours until it becomes incredibly tender, allowing the natural flavors of the beef to shine. This method of cooking also ensures that the meat is juicy and succulent, making each bite a delight. For those looking to explore the more traditional side of Mexican cuisine, our cabeza tacos are an excellent choice.

Mulitas: A Unique Twist

For something a little different, try our mulitas. These delicious treats are made with your choice of flour or corn tortillas and filled with the same fresh ingredients as our tacos. They're a fun and tasty alternative that our customers love. Mulitas are essentially a cross between a taco and a quesadilla, offering the best of both worlds. The crispy exterior combined with the melty cheese and savory fillings makes them an irresistible option. Whether you're a taco enthusiast or just looking for something new, our mulitas are sure to satisfy your cravings.

Quesadillas: Cheesy Goodness

Our quesadillas are another customer favorite. Made with a 14" flour tortilla and your choice of meat, they're packed with gooey cheese and fresh toppings. They're perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. Each quesadilla is made to order, ensuring that you get a piping hot, freshly prepared dish every time. The combination of melted cheese and savory meat inside a crispy tortilla is comfort food at its finest. Pair it with one of our homemade salsas for an extra burst of flavor, and you've got a meal that's both delicious and fulfilling.

Tortas: Hearty and Filling

For those with a bigger appetite, our tortas are a great choice. These hearty sandwiches are filled with your choice of protein and topped with fresh ingredients. They're a satisfying option that's sure to keep you full. Our tortas are made with freshly baked bolillo rolls, which are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We layer these rolls with a generous amount of meat, fresh vegetables, and our special sauces. The result is a sandwich that's not only filling but also bursting with flavor. Whether you're on the go or sitting down for a meal, our tortas are a great option.

Burritos: A Meal in Itself

Our burritos are a meal in themselves. Whether you choose the TJ's Burrito or the Cali Burrito, you're in for a treat. Packed with your choice of asada, adobada, or other fillings, our burritos are big, flavorful, and satisfying. Each burrito is carefully wrapped to ensure that you get a bit of everything in every bite. We layer the fillings with rice, beans, and fresh vegetables, all wrapped in a large flour tortilla. Our burritos are perfect for a quick lunch or a hearty dinner, providing a balanced meal that's both delicious and convenient.

Loaded Fries: A Crowd Pleaser

Our loaded fries are a hit with customers of all ages. From asada fries to adobada fries, these tasty treats are piled high with fresh ingredients and topped with our signature sauces. They're a great option for sharing with friends. Each order of loaded fries starts with a bed of crispy, golden fries. We then top them with generous portions of meat, cheese, guacamole, and our homemade sauces. The result is a dish that's perfect for snacking or as a meal on its own. Whether you're enjoying them solo or sharing with a group, our loaded fries are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Hot Dogs: A Tasty Option

In addition to our tacos and burritos, we also offer a selection of hot dogs. Our TJ Street Dog Combo and TJ Single Street Dog are made with high-quality ingredients and topped with fresh, flavorful toppings. They're a fun and tasty option for a quick meal. Our hot dogs are inspired by the classic Tijuana-style street dog, featuring a grilled sausage wrapped in bacon and topped with a variety of fresh ingredients. Whether you're in the mood for something simple or looking to try something new, our hot dogs offer a delicious and convenient option.

Drinks: The Perfect Complement

No meal is complete without a refreshing drink. We offer a selection of Mexican sodas, can sodas, and bottled water to complement your meal. They're the perfect way to wash down your delicious tacos and burritos. Our Mexican sodas, in particular, are a hit with customers. These sodas are made with real sugar and come in a variety of traditional flavors like tamarind, mandarin, and pineapple. They're a refreshing and authentic way to complete your meal.
