Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Pioneer Square

A slight divergence from traditional Mexican restaurant with more interesting and imaginative dishes. Had beef, chicken and shrimp dishes and the rice and corn dish was the best. Fresh beverages, well concocted. A cozy, local with less than 10 tables.

We love Poquito’s and are so very sad to hear it will be closing. We are going as much as possible before that happens! The service is always friendly, the ambience is so unique and warm and beautiful, and the food is some of my fave Tex Mex in the pnw! I’m originally from Dallas, and I love the queso, guacamole, tacos (steak, shrimp less spicy, and veggie are my fave,) burritos (with chicken tinga) chips, and margaritas. The brunch menu Texas breakfast tacos are also really good-the egg is cooked perfectly! Mwah! And I love sitting on the patio. Thank you for everything, Poquito’s. You will be missed. ¡Salud!

All 3 of us loved our food - it exceeded expectations. I particularly enjoyed the vegetarian options on the menu. Service from Thomas was 5-star. He was the only server, serving a full restaurant and he did so with such calm and grace - it was amazing to watch. We always felt attended to...even as he rotated to all of the tables. Most amazing was he was not at all rattled by the amount of tables he was handling, as he had it all under control. Overall, the food and service experience truly were 5-star worthy.

Staff were great and the restaurant is very cute plus great ambience! If I’m being honest, the food wasn’t bad, but not something id eat again. I wouldn’t come back to try anything else. Great vibes and I’m we tried it, but you can get better food pretty much anywhere else.
