Tacos Pihuamo

Quickest, healthiest thing you can get on highway 2. And they have veggie burritos! Off the main street so had never seen it befire. New Stevens Pass stop.

YES.
A THOUSAND YESSES.
My friends and I stopped here on our way to Leavenworth a few weekends ago – wanting some place inexpensive and quick, and this place was both.
And had awesome food to boot.
I had a burrito – it was pretty stinking big, and delicious. I didn’t finish it, it was that large.
They even have a covered, heated seating area – despite being a food truck.
Highly recommended.

Just a perfect taco truck place. Friendly guy, delicious food, reasonable prices, clean atmosphere. We plan to go back when we’re in the area.

We tried several different tacos and my son had a wonderful chicken quesadilla! I would go back there again for sure! The sauces were also great!

The spicy pork tacos are amazing. Our family loves to grab tacos here several times a month! Even some outdoor seating that is nice in the summer

I really enjoy this place. Easy bite to grab and full of flavor.
Meat selection is good and they are consistent with the quality.

OMG this place is amazing
the best taco truck i have had in several states and just about every city in Washington
Victor is a great guy and always enjoy talking to him when i go to get my food
i have friends that drive from Seattle to eat here it is that good

There’s nothing not to like about a taco truck; you can’t possibly get your hopes up too high so a getting a great taco or torta at one is like finding money. Now, a lunch at Pihuamo isn’t like finding a hundred, it’s more like finding a ten. Which just happens to be less that you’ll pay for the meal so in all it’s a great outing.
Pihuamo has the usual assortment of tacos, tortas, and quesadillas along with a great beverage selection. A covered tent provides a place to sit out of the rain; I wish we had this kind of setup in one of the too many empty lots in downtown Redmond. For the tacos: the fried pork comes off a bit dry, the adovada is better, chicken is nicely spiced and tender, quesadillas are too cheesy but are made with great flour tortillas and served with a little wedge of avocado. Make sure you get some of the salsa verde if you are taking your tacos or burrito to go.

A great Taco truck right in the middle of downtown Monroe! The prices are great, the food is great, and service is friendly! Also, unlike a lot of trucks, they accept credit cards, which can be a huge plus!
Burritos are good and big, the Torta Cubanas is delish and loaded up, all of the offerings I’ve tried have been good and a great value! Tacos are also cheap and delish!
Priced great, easy location with plenty of parking, a great covered dining area, and delicious food make this a great lunch stop (or snack stop, dinner stop [not sure what time they’re open to, it’s my lunch stop]) and I’ll def be back!

Love love love this place. We first discovered it while remodeling our house in 2006 when we needed a quick bite to eat. I love the chicken burrito (still my favorite) it was $ 3.00 then and has only gone up $ 1.00 in 7 years, still an AWESOME deal. Excellent service and great food. Tacos Pihuamo is MY fast food choice in Monroe.

We were starving and needed a quick place to eat. We were looking for Taco Dany and must have missed it. We stumbled upon this place and it was fantastic! We had tacos with carnitas, chicken and carne asada. The cilantro was fresh and the mild avocado sauce was great. Fast and friendly. We will be back again for sure.

This is (in my opinion) the best taco truck in town. I go there about 1 – 2 times a week. The thing that I order the most is tacos de lengua (tongue). I prefer drinking the horchata because it’s not too sweet but it’s just sweet enough to beat the thirst. I love this taco truck so much I don’t go to any other taco trucks. They just aren’t the same compared to this taco truck and Taco Bell is nothing compared to this truck now. I would rate this (out of ten) a 9.7 but Unilocal only let’s me go to 5. I wish they had punch cards like the coffee stands so that People could get rewards at the end of the month If they had 12 hole punches or something like that. I have seen a pizza guy go to this taco truck and to me it was funny. I just wish that they stay open till about 10 or something.

Holy amazing tacos! This place is perfect. Great, cheap tacos and a really friendly, fast staff. They have a cozy heated outdoor dining area that was perfectly comfortable and warm on our visit on a 50 degree day. The tacos are cooked just right with quality meats and plenty of spicy and mild sauce options are available as well. We can’t wait to go back!

I love this taco truck! The thing that sets this place apart from the others is their spicy tomatillo sauce. After eating here a few times, I tried making this sauce on my own at home for months. I couldn’t get it the way they do so I stopped trying and just kept going in for tacos and burritos. Great prices and great food.

Ask Seattleites about Monroe and you get these responses: «Home of the reformatory,» «Hicksville,» or «Louisiana?»
It gets even worse when the subject is on food. The most common response is… «lots of bars» and to that, I retort that, «You don’t know anything about Monroe because the bar/​tavern/​saloon scene is rather scarce-​to-​non-​existent.»
The great little secret about Monroe is that it is a great place to buy a home for cheap. And, when there are plenty of affordable homes in a city with a strong police presence, you can bet gentrification will follow. And, with gentrification comes the added benefit of more authentic ethnic cuisines.
Case in point is this stellar, simple taco truck resting under a massive (and newly painted) retro-​bold red Coca-​Cola advertisement on the side of the Monroe Laundry building, across from a 7-​Eleven.
Several of the local dames unanimously recommended this place so I had to go check it out.
There’s plenty of free parking and also a little «hut» in case of inclement weather.
First off, this is a TACO truck so I ordered the gamut of the menu: asada (beef), adovada (spicy pork), lengua (tongue), cavesa (cheek), buches (grilled pork), carnitas (fried pork), pollo (chicken), and tripas (tripe). With the exception of tripas ($ 1.75), each taco costs only $ 1.25 and is double-​wrapped with two hand-​sized tortillas and topped with chopped cilantro, onion, and (I think) basil. When plated, they threw on a few slices of red radishes, lime slices, and a green jalapeño chile. Be extra careful as the jalapeño can vary from 1-​star to 4-​star heat. The boss said he gets it from the market and also doesn’t know what to expect on any given day. For rescue operations, I highly recommend not a Mexican Coca-​Cola but their home-​brewed horchata drink. It is a good one.
The tacos are fresh with tasty meat and herbs and do not need additional seasoning, although they do supply Tapatio at the tables. These are real tacos; not the faux-​Mexican lifeless versions at the international franchises.
Is it worth the 15 minute drive on Hwy. 522? Hell to the yes, it is! You’ll get full on just three or four tacos. That’s five bucks.
Other comida Mexicana offerings include: burritos, tortas, quesadillas, and sopes. Real Mexican food prepared with love by its people.

Anyone who says «There’s no good Mexican food in WA» apparently only eats at Azteca, because that is simply not the case if you consider places like Tacos Pihuamo.
I lived in Socal and I still think this place is right up there with some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. And since I am eating this right now? I would say it is potentially even better. On top of that, the prices can hardly be beaten.
There’s apparently a few other great taco trucks in town as well, but I don’t know that I’ll ever bother. I’ve found my taco truck.

The best taco sled I’ve ever eaten at. Clean, delicious, and affordable. Can’t get enough of the lengua! Please go and try the food, and if you don’t like it, PM me.

Super friendly, and the best tacos I’ve had in more time than I can count. Worth a drive to Monroe… The carnitas tacos are amazing.

Taco trucks at their finest!

OMG! You just cant get a better burrito for $ 3.50 anywhere? HUGE and full of all the good stuff. These guys have a secret. They’re hiding a gold mine of goodness in that little taco truck! Love me some Avocado Sauce! And the vegetarian burritos also which makes my boss muy happy! Don’t ever move your truck boys or I’ll starve I tell ya!
