Get: Tacos and the crisp-cheese burritos
Tacos and burritos are built to be eaten out of foil, and the counter is set up for grab-and-go.
Good to know: Carmelo's has several Seattle locations, so check which one you are ordering from. The weekend-only breakfast burrito is at the Central District shop.

Get: Birria tacos with the consomme for dipping
Shredded birria holds heat in the container and the consomme travels in its own cup, so tacos dunked at home taste like they do at the counter.
Good to know: Burien is a drive from downtown, so ask for the consomme packed hot and eat within 20 minutes.

Get: Oaxacan dishes such as mole and tlayudas
Mole sauces improve in the container and rice and tortillas reheat well. A good pick when you want something richer than tacos.
