We enjoy Poquitos! We popped in last night to celebrate our 31 yrs together. Yes, yes....at this point, everyday is an Anniversary....;)The chips are delightful (we need to eat less cuz it fills us up every time!), the drinks were delicious, Strawberry Marg and Paloma (sp?), meals were tasty and service was great. Felt bad that our server had to walk so many steps because we were busy talking instead of reviewing the menu to order! We all enjoyed a good laugh about that and hope to be back soon!! Thanks Poquitos!!

We love the vibe in Poquitos Bothell! Christopher the server was excellent. The drinks were marvelous! And Tuesdays is a great day to go, especially if you like tequila! The decor is fun and the food was awesome! Wonderful management.

I stopped by Poquitos on a Sunday afternoon and the bar was relatively empty. Parking was easy to find on the street. I started with their taquitos appetizer. The taquitos were super crispy. The variety of fillings - beef, chicken, and potato and chorizo - were really nice. I tried The Hector, a refreshing cocktail with mezcal and passionfruit. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was attentive. I'd recommend Poquitos for a casual drink and snack

We had a group of 8 people, the food was decent, but the service was not great. We had 2 people waiting at our table, they forgot to bring plates and did not clear the empty plates at our table almost the entire dinner. They would bring the food/drinks out but didn't pick up the empty plates even though we stacked them at the end of the table. The restaurant was pretty light and we had to flag them down to order drinks/food. Then the waiter mis-ordered our drinks...it felt like he wasn't really paying attention. Thank goodness, the food orders were correct. In any case, I would grade this place a B on food and C- on service. I would not come back again as I felt the staff was not friendly, especially the hostess. The waiter was nice but he was not paying attention.

The restaurant had a great vibe to it. Even in the open, you could have a decent conversation without having to yell. The server was good and there was someone that came by often to check on us and even take our plates as we finished. 4 Stars The food was ok 3 stars, not my first recommendation to go and grab tacos from. Ordered the tacos and they were street tacos and filled. You could have made 6 street tacos from the fillings. It would have been nice to have the double tortilla for a traditional street tacos but the single did not fall apart. The food was bland, no salsa was offered and I did not ask. One of the plate dishes was chicken which the plate was a layer of black beans (enough for 3-4 ppl) which was a bit excessive. I would highly recommend if you are looking to grab a drink & appetizers with friends, coworkers or a date. As far as going for dinner, again not my first choice.

I stopped in today for a quick lunch before heading out to Monroe to disc golf with a buddy. I came in through the back door and to my delight they were just opening! Brandon greeted me with with the biggest smile and excitement, within the first 5 minutes of opening tables started piling in pondering for the best seat in the house they could find! It took a little bit for me to decide what I wanted but I was in awe of Brandon's presence and speed around the establishment. He was quick to greet tables with waters and menus and all the while with an attitude that was spritely cheerful and youthful. Eventually I decided on a killer michelada and some al pastor tacos which were AMAZING! The place was beautiful inside! I think I'll definitely be returning soon!
Very nice ambiance. Absolutely no parking. It took over 20 minutes to get parked. The flowers on the tables were lilly's and smelled terrible. Service was mediocre at best. One of our entrees was really good and one was terrible. Very strange selection of drinks and food. I feel like this place could be good, but definitely needs a menu revamp and some better staff. The whole place gives you the feeling that this restaurant can't figure out what it wants to be.
Decent food, although one piece of my carne asada was inedible gristle and there was too much rub on the meat (the rub was gritty after cooking.) My wife's vegetarian squash bowl was very good, however. The chips and salsa were good (although you do pay for the salsa) We haven't eaten here in a while, but I remember the food being a bit better last time around. Nothing terrible, but there are better choices for Mexican in the area.

Second time here. The lounge is INCREDIBLE to look at!! The food was very good. Service great. If anything will keep us from coming back it is my husband is disabled and parking is non existent. Sad! City of Bothell not thinking about the repercussions of a million apartments in a small area.
Recommend... service made it a bad experience, but the food and drinks were excellent. Many things forgotten that our meal came with and took a long time to get the staffs attention to help make it right.

We visited Poquitos last weekend with a group of 15 for a mini family reunion and took over the semi-private room. It was perfect for our large group. The service was wonderful throughout our 3 hour stay. They were extremely accommodating, allowing for the large number of people, a leisurely meal with lots of chat time and prepared bills for individual families which is unheard of for groups this size.We ordered drinks and appetizers and later dinner. The food was very good and enjoyed by all. Servings were generous. We had a few kids in the group and there were numerous menu offerings for the children. We will be back soon.Parking: I believe there is free parking at Bothell City Hall across the street from Poquitos on 185th. We found street parking but it was a Sunday.
