We got their Taco board where you get 14 tacos, in orders of 2. so we got 4 of their chicken, 4 of the short rib, 2 of the al pastor , 2 shrimp, and 2 mahi mahi. they were sooooo good. came with rice and beans, and the rice was delicious. I"m not a beans guy, so I didn't eat that. the service was great, and the restaurant views are amazing. well worth the money.

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.

Belltown / Pike Place Market

About the restaurant

For generations, molinos have served as celebrations of the most honored culinary tradition in our Mexican culture — nixtamal! Translated from the native Nahuatl, nixtamal is the production of corn dough, or masa.

The molineros’ millenary artisan techniques in the nixtamal process are the foundation for creating all great antojitos — the craveable snacks sold by street vendors all across Mexico.

Our mission is to preserve and promote the beautiful, bio diverse treasure that is heirloom, non-GMO Mexican corn. We work directly with local, small-scale farmers to ensure our grains are sourced in an ethical and sustainable way. Our authentic, fresh, small-batch recipes allow you to experience your favorite Mexican dishes the way they were meant to be — the same way we enjoyed them as kids!

By introducing the Seattle community to our traditions, we hope that you'll fall in love with them as much as we have. Thank you for being a part of this journey. We w
