According to a recent permit filing, Situ Tacos has its eyes on opening a new location at 5239 Ballard Avenue NW.
A representative of Situ Tacos was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to Situ Taco’s website, Situ currently resides inside the Jupiter Bar on 2nd Avenue.
“My Situ, (Arabic for Grandma), Delores Flores, was half Lebanese and half Mexican. She raised me in the kitchen cooking since I was 3 years old. Learning how to make and sew these tacos, was a rite of passage for me when I was young, and I’ve been doing it ever since.”
“In the original crunchy taco, the tortillas are initially fried, then stuffed, and sewn together with toothpicks. Then they’re pan-fried to a golden crisp and are delicious.”
“You can fill them with whatever toppings of your choosing, (I recommend guacamole and pico de gallo). People have contacted me after 20 years of distance to ask about my tacos.”
An article from Everout that was written in 2021 states, “Wild Powwers, Tacos the Band, and LORBO drummer Lupe Flores’ Lebanese-inspired taco pop-up and delivery business Situ Tacos, which she launched during the pandemic, moved into a permanent home inside the Tractor Tavern, which has a new outdoor covered area, on Thursday.”
“Stranger contributor Caro Myers previously wrote, “Lupe’s menu is simple and her tacos taste unlike anything I’ve ever tried. There are two flavor options, Lebanese-style ground beef, and butter—called ‘hushwe’—and a vegetarian option—’papas’—which are potatoes that pack a punch of flavor. The tortillas are fried and taste like crispy pillows. The meat is cooked in butter, so you can’t argue with that.”
“The menu includes the hushwe and papas tacos in addition to spicy cauliflower tacos, Mexican slaw, chips and guacamole, chips and pico de gallo, and soup. You can also add a “tiny side” of pico or guac to your order.”
