The best BBQ in Seattle from a truck outside a gas station?  Yes sir.  This place is legit.  They have six different sauces and five different types of sliders (pulled pork, brisket, chicken, sloppy joe, and veggie sloppy joe). I’ve had the brisket slider and the pulled pork slider with the Pinky’s Hot and the chicken slider with Honey Tamrin sauce. All the meat was smokey and super juicy. The Pinky’s Hot sauce was tangy and the perfect amount of spiciness. This sauce would have probably been good on every sandwich but the guy behind the counter recommended the Honey Tamrin sauce on the Chicken. I’m so glad I listened. The sauce with chicken were a perfect pairing. You throw in the soft ciabatta bun and fried onion strings for a little crunch…YUM! Of the three sliders I’ve had so far I would say the brisket was my favorite.

For $10.35 I got sampling of three sliders but I probably only need two of them. They maybe called sliders but they really load up the meat and toppings.

Update – I came back here and found out they allow you to have more than one of the sauces on the sliders. The lady recommended trying the horseradish sauce with the Tamrin sauce. I loved this combo! Try it next time you are here.

This is one of my go to spots for late night food. Two locations in Seattle…one in Wallingford and one in Capitol Hill. The Capitol Hill location is actually a restaurant (an old KFC to be exact). The location in Wallingford is a food truck with about six or seven spot to sit (outdoors) under a canopy. Both locations serve up delicious fast Mexican food. My favorite here is the chicken quesadilla and a sampling of their tacos (normally a chicken and a pork). Either one of the burritos (the Rancho or the Bravo) are also pretty good here. I can’t really tell the difference between the two they both taste the same to me. Regardless, both are delicious. When you get your order don’t forget the hot sauces. Go for the green one. Not quite as hot as the red ones but it adds some great flavors to the food.

These guys also opened up a BBQ truck across the street at the 76 station. I have not tried it yet but I will let you guys know how of is as soon as I am able to get out there.

For under $10 you can get the chicken quesadilla or a burrito and a drink.
