WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Another Alki business burglary – this time Fire Tacos

Another West Seattle business burglary to report. Alki in particular has been hit disproportionately, and that’s the location of the report we just received from proprietors Erika and Jorge, with security video:

We’re reaching out to share that our restaurant, Fire Tacos, was broken into early this morning at approximately 4:30 AM.

Two individuals were captured on our security footage forcing entry into our establishment . one tall and one shorter, both appearing to be white. They broke into our cash registers, stole several tablets and laptop used for our point-of-sale system, and took cash boxes used for our food truck operations. No money was stored in those boxes.

This is our first break-in. As a small, family-owned business, this is especially difficult during the slower season. Situations like this are very disheartening, and it’s hard. A police report has been filed, and we are handling the matter appropriately.

We appreciate our community’s continued support.

The placeholder SPD incident # is T00051452. You can see other recent reports by scrolling through our Crime Watch coverage archive.

    Are these the same crooks that have been breaking into other Alki businesses or different? Hopefully all the victims have been sharing video and information with the other Alki businesses.

    Someone needs to create a guard dog company. Drop off the dogs at night and pick them up in the morning! Woof!

      Not a bad idea! I’ve envisioned  maybe some sort of alarm system spray mechanism filled with full strength bleach? Don’t support lethal means, but something to act as deterrent, and leave enough of a mark that it could be identifiable later. Guys in black with big white bleach streaks would be pretty obvious!

    Sorry that happened to you. It’s disgusting and definitely has a high impact.  All of us should head over to your business(which is right across the street to the west of where Alki Beach Café used to be…. in case anyone needs to think about that?)  wishing you a successful and excellent 2026. ❤️
