About Renton
Renton sits at the south end of Lake Washington where the Cedar River comes down out of the foothills and empties into it. It is a working city with a long industrial spine — the Boeing plant on the lakeshore has been building airplanes there for generations — alongside a downtown that has grown into something genuinely pleasant to walk around.
From our truck it is a straight shot east, roughly five and a half miles across the valley, which puts most of Renton comfortably inside our radius.
About the food truck
The people cooking own the truck
Taquería Vela belongs to José A. Vela and Selene Cuevas Dorantes and their family. The recipes are their grandmothers’, brought from Tierra Colorada, in the municipality of Juan R. Escudero, Guerrero, and the people preparing your order are the people whose name is on the banner.
Tortillas are handmade. Meat is your choice — pastor, asada, pollo, birria or chorizo, with tripa, cabeza and lengua available for an extra charge. Aguas frescas are poured fresh. It is the same food whether you are standing at the window in Burien or having it sent to Renton.
What Renton orders
Renton orders big. Family plates of carne asada and carnitas, birria de res with beans, rice, handmade tortillas, salsa and lime, and burritos by the armful. Enchiladas and flautas travel over well too.
Feeding a crowd
Birthdays, family parties and weekend gatherings are a large part of what leaves our window headed for Renton. Order online for a group, or call us about catering and we will help you plan the amounts.
Delivery
Ten miles around the truck
We deliver up to ten miles from 14003 1st Ave S in Burien. Renton sits about 5.5 miles to the east, inside that circle.
The reliable way to check your exact Renton address is the online menu — put in where you are and it confirms availability, current prices and anything already sold out for the day.
Ordering direct beats going through a marketplace on price, and it means more of the bill stays with a family business rather than a platform.
