Great food, drinks, service and ambience! But because it is close to Boeing Field, you'll hear the planes fly by closely as they... land. It's actually pretty awesome but if you're sensitive to noise, it could be a problem. Just something to consider. Read more
Fave Mexican restaurant in Seattle! As a world traveling Chef, Whenever I come back home to Seattle this is one of the first... places I come to eat at ???????? Everything on the menus is wonderful! But my recent go to items are their Tamales, they do themso right, and the way they serve them up is Devine. Also their bartenders can make any delicious Mexican or Latin flair cocktailto perfection ???? A definite must try if your into Mexican food with a modern flair and ambiance. You won?t be disappointed?????? Read more
We always stop here if we are in Georgetown. Small but mighty, the flavors packed into every dish here are the best around. The... staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is great. We love the pozole, chicken Verde tacos, and the tacos dorados. The drinksare also top notch. Worth a stop if you are in the area! Read more
Busy, but tasty place for some Mexican food in Georgetown. Recommend calling ahead. Good selection, fair prices, open air... seating, but parking can be a little hard to find. I was in the mood for some Mexican food on a Thursday after work in August,and found this spot not too far from downtown. It?s pretty easy to get too as it?s right off I-5, but the turn coming off I-5 ispretty sharp and sudden, so be prepared to turn left as soon as you exit 162 on I-5 south. There is free street parking nearbyand I think some space in the back, but it will likely be full, so plan to drive around a little to find parking. I didn?t callahead of time and when I entered, I had to put my name on the list, with an estimated wait time of 15 minutes. It was prettyaccurate and I got a table in the patio in the back. There?s a lot of spaces inside and outside the restaurant, but sitting onthe patio feels much nicer. I ordered the Puerco en Salsa Verde and Chicken Enchilada Verdes. I got the Chicken Tacos Dorados asthe appetizer. I really enjoyed all of my dishes and felt pretty full after my meal. The tacos dorados were nice and crispy andthe meat inside is well marinated. The dipping sauce is good too. The Puerco en Salsa Verde was a good sized plate withtortillas on the side. The pork shoulder was cooked just right and not too hard to chew. The potatoes were also very tasty, andnot overcooked. Overall I really enjoyed the salsa verde flavor from my dishes, but it was definitely on the more sour side. Thestaff are pretty nice and I didn?t have to wait long for my food. Definitely felt like I got a good value from this meal. I willdefinitely be back if I?m ever in the area! Read more
Easily one of best Mexican restaurants in Seattle. We had excellent service and a wonderful experience. They have a large indoor... section, plus patio and outdoor seating. The chilaquiles were delicious! The chicken was very well made and my eggs were cookedperfectly. The chilaquiles had amazing flavor (I ordered salsa roja). The beans were well seasoned too. All together they made aexcellent meal! We also ordered chips and salsa for the table as well. The chips were always fresh. The salsa and guacamolewere really tasty, worth paying for. I will be a return customer for sure! Everyone in my group enjoyed all of the food andbeverages they had. Can't wait to explore more of their menu! Read more
I had the tortilla soup with chicken. It was really good except that it had way too much cheese and it was difficult to eat... because all the cheese was forming strings when I tried to eat it. This was not a graceful meal. I'd wave off this dish if Iwere on a date or trying to impress. Last time I had the pozole and that was much more graceful to eat. They have good authenticfood here (I'm Mexican so I'm well qualified to judge) the prices are very reasonable and the ambiance is festive. We ate out onthe heated patio, it was chilly outside but the patio was toasty. Read more
Ahhhh, delicious pork shoulder tacos, side of mole, spicy margarita, chips and quac. Heaven on earth, best lunch in a long... time. This is an authentic Mexican cantina in the Georgetown area just North of the Boeing airport. Worth finding and beprepared for very fulfilling tasty food made with genuine passion and authentic recipes. Read more
