You can usually bet that if a restaurant only has a handful of items on their menu, they do them all well. That is definitely the case at Señor Taco, where there is a small but solid selection of tacos and burritos to choose from on a board above the counter. The seasonings, salsas and flavors are all perfect and the portions are huge. One burrito could easily feed two people, unless one of those people is my husband. The tacos are simple and tasty and if you like fish tacos, this is the place to go in town. They also have a selection of Mexican soda and candy if you need a sugar hit.
While the menu is pretty no-frills, the decor is very festive, with each wall painted a different bright color and covered in funky artwork, religious icons, and televisions playing what appears to be the all soccer (or should I say futbol?) channel. On a gray Northwest day, the bright interior and friendly staff make you feel like you are somewhere sunny like Mexico or, at the very least, San Diego.
I live 20 miles south of Seattle and a world away...
With more than 89,000 people, Federal Way is the 10th largest city in the state of Washington. The 10th largest city doesn't have a used bookstore, a gay bar or an art museum but we have two, count 'em, two Walmarts. Now, before you think I'm a total snob, you should know that I do have an affinity for some big chains - I do a lot of shopping at Target and Trader Joe's and I never leave home without my Taco Del Mar punch-card. This blog isn't here to put down the friendly suburb of Federal Way but to celebrate the things that are unique about it. These one-of-a-kind gems in a sea of strip malls are the things that make a city special and worth calling home.
