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.

Los Bigotes De Villa

30420 Pacific Hwy S #3, Federal Way

One day I woke up and said to my husband, " I really want a giant burrito today." So I went ahead and Googled, "giant burrito Federal Way" and found my new favorite Mexican restaurant in town. This place does not mess around with their burritos--they are indeed giant and more importantly, they are delicious.

They have a great salsa bar which includes lots of different kinds of salsa, plus pickled veggies and radishes. They serve Negra Modelo, Mexican Coke, and all kinds of non-burrito entrees which are good, too.

I should mention that it is located in a brightly-painted shack (yes, really) in a little row of other brightly-painted shacks. The inside is cute and kitschy and outside has a teeny little deck which is perfect for those sunny days when you want to sit on a deck and drink cold beer and eat hot burritos. Which for me, is almost every day. Additionally, this restaurant is named after Pancho Villa's mustache. True story.
