    Had a great first dining experience here Saturday night with a group of friends. Awesome service and food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend. I had the steak asada tacos and they were delicious! Huge outdoor dining patio and yummy drinks as well!

    The menu choices were great; unusual offerings. Mole pork tamales wrapped in banana leaves and cheese enchiladas were very tasty; several interesting seafood specialties. Wait staff were friendly and accommodating. Beverages were very good.

    Simple yet elegant. Always a go-to when we don't know what we want to eat. Been here twice this week!

    I have always found the food and service to be excellent. This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. Don't miss the Bartender's Margarita!

    I went here for my birthday dinner with friends. It was a lot of fun. We had reservations and they had a table for us outside on the front patio which was really nice. Service was great. The food was really delicious with good portion sizes. Drink and food were a little expensive so maybe the happy hour would be a better time to go. Overall I really liked it.

    I went there with a group of friends prior to seeing a show at the Paramount. The food was great and the service was quick. Would definitely go there again

    Amazing space! Smaller portions which were fine with me but people with big appetites may want to order more.

    I've searched Seattle for authentic Mexican food, and this was by far the closest I've found. The make-your-own salsa bar was great, and all of our meals were fantastic!
