Malena's Taco Shop

Malena's Taco Shop has held its spot in North Queen Anne for more than two decades, the kind of counter-service hole in the wall regulars send newcomers to when they want something cheap and unfussy. Everything comes made to order, and portions run large for the price, which has built its reputation as a neighborhood standby rather than a destination. It stays a no-frills operation — small counter, no scene, just a taco shop doing what it's always done.
