Los Chanchitos is a beloved taco truck in Seward, praised for its generous portions and flavorful, freshly made Mexican dishes, especially its unique quesobarilla and hearty burritos. While some find the prices a bit high and add-ons like guacamole expensive, most agree the taste and size of the food make it a worthwhile stop. The outdoor picnic seating offers scenic views, though diners should be prepared for potential weather changes.
"Fantastic! We loved everything we got! Wish we could've tried their rockfish as well because I'm sure it would've also been great, but it was out while we were in town. The tacos seemed pricey but were huge and filling."

"Expensive. Store bought chips and canned queso. The carnitas were great and the beans and rice had decent flavor.
17$ for a bowl, 4$ extra for a tiny cup of guac and sour, the store bought canned queso 4$ and they gave me a giant container that is going to waste.
The only good thing from this is that my work will be reimbursing. Never again."
Andrew Curtin
"Outdoor seating only. Great if you’re not from Arizona and this Seward Summer weather is similar to your winter! I froze my butt off lol. Great portions, good food. Beans and rice were fire. Carnitas were good, a little heavy on the black pepper. Overall, only the top
5 places to eat on my list in Seward AK!"
