Reviews for El 42 Cantina in Issaquah, WA
I really wanted to like the food here, as I love supporting local businesses, but the quesadilla I had was terrible. It tasted... like two store bought tortillas with American cheese melted in the middle. It was practically inedible. The tacos my fiancégot were good and they are open late, which was convenient, but the meal we got was massively overpriced ($40 for two people)and for half of that meal to be truly terrible is inexcusable. I hope the owners can take some of these recent reviews to heartand make some changes. Read more
The servers are great. The portions/ prices were a bit on the high end. We went there for food, but it is a bar type of place,... therefore not a full menu. Food was good. I had to almost yell at my partner sometimes, but that is normal in any type ofdrinking establishment. I chose 3 stars because I didn't have a good time and won't go back (not my type of place). If you likethose places, check it out for yourself. Read more
We love it here! Their margaritas, chicken nachos and the crispy halibut tacos have been out top Happy Hour choices. You can... also get the nachos to go and they put the toppings in individual containers so they don’t get soggy. Delish! Read more

Since they're open till 11:00 it's a great place for late night dining that offers interesting and compelling cocktails, entrees... and a collection of salsas you can order to go with anything on the menu including basket of chips. At under 50 cents a piece,order a half dozen and sample to your heart's content. Very friendly service and a pleasant dining experience to end yourevening. Read more
It's a nice mexican eat out which remains open until 2 am. Ambiance is very average ,Food is very tasteful and Staff is... friendly and quick. Being a vegetarian could get quite a few options available like Tacos,Nachos,Burritos etc. Read more
Tasty food and strong drinks. Got the strawberry margarita and the lobster and shrimp enchiladas and my partner got the skinny... margarita and chicken burrito. The chips and salsa are not complimentary but are handmade so totally worth it! The two includedsalsas were awesome as well. Highly recommend this place, is worth it despite being a bit pricey!

Took a blind date here last night, and it was both of our first time's trying out this place on a suggestion from a friend. What... a delicious little hole in the wall. The seasoning on the beef tacos is absolutely FUEGO! SHEEESH! Additionally the hotsalsa/sauce they serve with the beef tacos is ACTUALLY SPICY, which is saying a lot coming from someone who identifies as aspicy-food-eater and can handle some serious heat. *chefs kiss* The margaritas were solid. The service was great. Was it alittle pricey? Sure, but everything is these days in this global economy. $80 for: chips & salsa, 4 strong drinks, six tacoswith beans & rice, great service, and a nice atmosphere? I've definitely seen worse for all the ridiculous people complainingabout pricing. The tacos were loaded up with meat as well for all the people complaining about portion sizes. Maybe take asecond to think about what an actual serving size is before you complain about it. 10/10 will be back again. Read more
