  • From masked doorstep deliveries during lockdown to a vibrant pink beacon on Ballard Ave, @situtacos is more than just a restaurant—it’s a love letter to family, written in Lebanese-Mexican fusion flavors 💝

Swing by for the Hushwe (traditional Lebanese brown butter beef), stay for the spicy cauliflower that converts even the skeptics, and definitely don’t skip the house-made hatch green chili queso. Each dish tells a story of heritage, of pandemic resilience, and of a community that showed up to help build something special.

Step inside and you’ll find the back bar (lovingly dubbed “the womb”) where Tilda’s Lounge pays tribute to the family’s rebel aunt, an animatronic parrot named after Uncle Armando watches over the crowd, and every cocktail tells a family story.

BONUS: Thanks to @becu , you can enjoy a trio of tacos for FREE, as part of the Women’s History Month Equity in Action offers. Visit our link in bio to find out how redeem!
