Great place to grab food, especially after hiking around Seahurst. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well. My friend and I came during happy hour and ordered the doraditos (chicken tinga for me and potato and black bean for her) and crispy Brussels sprouts. I also tried the pickle picoso margarita, which was the perfect amount of brine flavor for me!

Tried brunch for the first time this weekend and it did not disappoint! The avocado slice was delish served on a sweet potato slice. The service was friendly, quick and nice! Great little spot!

What a find! This restaurant serves authentic Mexican food in a charming, cozy little place. The service is very quick and we were in and out in one hour. To start with. We got a tamarind cocktail and a blonde ale. The cocktail was spot on and my partner enjoyed his beer. We got the salsa flight that came with three types of salsas and some freshly fried chips. The cascabel was my favorite. The Doradito with potatoes and black beans was one of a kind! The rajas con queso taco was fantastic. I especially loved the authenticity of the dishes - just enough cheese! We also got the habanero enchiladas that were packed with flavors, an absolute delight for my tastebuds! We also had to try the veggie Tlayuda that was reminiscent of the ones we had in Tulum. Overall, service was quick and the food was mind blowing. A little bit of a drive to Burien, but it was worth it! We will b back.

My wife and I received a gift card from a friend that has been known to get us gift cards to good restaurants. Centro kept this tradition going. It has an intimate dinning area inside and out. We arrived around 5 pm fortunately before the rush. We started off with the salsa taster and chips. Then had an assortment of tacos for our main course. I had a beer and my wife had a cocktail which was really good. Service and everything was top notch. Will be back.

Came here on nice warm fall night with friends and was able to sit outside. The food, drink and service were all on point. I think to start I had a Blueberry Margarita that was properly sweet and stiff. We shared the loaded Totopos nachos. They were hot, covered with salsa and cheese. It was great, very shareable between 3 people and was a great starter. Also had some of the Brussel sprouts which includes garlic aioli, goat cheese, red pepper flakes, citrus flavor. I believe I had the Birria Tacos, a favorite of mine lately. They were hot and hearty and full of flavor. The staff was pleasant and offered recommendations which of course is always appreciated. Having never been to Downtown Burien, with plenty of choices it was nice we settled on this. I'd recommend and consider returning here to get a repeat of the more eats and drinks here.
