Reviews for El Farol Mexican Restaurant in Seattle, WA

The food is pretty solid and staff very nice, but unfortunately the inside was so smokey we had to leave. I think some better... ventilation would go a long way. :) Read more

I love this place ???? The food is delicious and all of the employees are wonderful! The best part is, they have queso dip! I?ve... looked all over Seattle for that ???? Their decor is also very fun, for those of us who like a little ambiance ???? Read more

I love this place and have been going here on and off since 2007. The family that works here is so nice, and the food is... fantastic. I got a takeout order here the other day and they even gave me a side of chips and salsa for free! Highlyrecommended. Read more

My favorite restaurant in Seattle. Their arroz con pollo w macha sauce is amazingly good. I?ve been going for over twenty years... and love it. Read more

Ordered dinner through DoorDash. Paid over $50 with taxes, fees, tip etc. This 'chimichanga' had instructions to have extra... cheese. The fake cheese wasn't even extra. About 2 tbs of beans. Wrapped and then burnt! The enchiladas that were also orderedcame cold, covered in fake cheese and bland! If I could give this place negative stars I would! If this is the quality theyproduce, I don't know how they're still in business and able to charge $12.50 for some beans, a tortilla and fake a** cheese! Read more

The pico was cabbage, tomato, onion, and canned jalapeno, none of it cut particularly fine, the salsa was thin, and the chips... were cold and old. The nondescript enchilada was fine. The person who rang me out pocketed the tip I said was for the waiter andwhen I called him on it he said they split tips because he cooks. Well, I wasn't tipping the food, and Seattle still has a tipminimum for servers but not for cooks. I will never go back. Read more

This place has been a great place to eat for decades, and had been a great neighbor for that entire time. The service is always... friendly, as neighbors should be. The food is authentic Mexican, and always fresh and delicious. I'm a big fan of the enchiladasupreme, of which I've left a photo of mine, about halfway through. I'm lucky to live so nearby, but I'd come here even if Imoved away. Read more
