Really cool concept, just so expensive for what you get! Spent nearly $100 for 2 drinks and 3 items including a tiny burrito and tostilocos, too expensive for such simple food. Probably only worth going to for happy hour.

$13+tax and tip for the tiniest burrito I've ever seen. Head up to Tacos Chukis and get the baby burrito for a more satisfying experience. I've never felt like I've gotten this bad of a value in Seattle. I could go on and on blah blah don't bother coming here.

Points for atmosphere and nice plating I guess?

Bodega Crunchwrap with Vegan Chorizo was very good but small for the price. Location/atmosphere just OK - may get livelier in the evening.

The food was delicious. I got two tamales. The lady working was so kind and patient with me.

Burrito was too small and deceptively priced because you have to add meat for $3, judging from other reviews I’d order something else. Horchata latte made the meal worth it though.

Wow! Mexican checking in. What a sucky experience. Our experience from the beginning was pretty terrible. The bartender/server took over ten minutes to take our order. We eventually got an order in. To no ones surprise, the food was bad. The tamales had zero sabor and were pure masa. The esquites were the sweetest I’ve ever had in my entire Mexican life. The vibe was also bad. They had true crime playing on a big screen and weird, industrial music. If it was a “Dia de Los Muertos” event, where’s the Mexican music? Maybe some videos of Pedro Infante, Vicente, Chavela Vargas? Literally anything adjacent to our culture? So not only was the food terrible and overpriced, but the vibe was intended to be unwelcoming. We also noticed that no one who spoke Spanish stayed. The yt people stayed, but literally everyone else walked in and promptly back out. Nunca vuelvo a regresar.

Food portions here are small however the food is tasty and the drinks are good. Great for a light meal and customer service is friendly. I'd recommend this place and I'd come back here again for happy hour.

If the ladies here have a million fans, I am one of them. If they have one fan, it is me. If they have zero fans, I am dead. I’m moving out of the hill soon and will miss this place so much! I even brought my family from Texas here as one of my must try’s. Everything is so good and they’re always so patient with us. Amazing!

Adorable neighborhood spot for food, drinks, and provisions. Wonderfully friendly staff and lots of great options for noshing and sipping. Appreciate the varied NA drink options. Perfect spot for meeting a friend or pre-gaming for a night out on Capitol Hill.

I had so much having dinner and drinks here! My group of friends and I tried lots of yummy snacks! The Mexican Doritos are my favorite and highly recommend as they are more flavorful and spicier than the Doritos we have here in the US. The burritos, tostada, and crunch wrap were delicious and their menu has a fun flare to it!

Love this place! Great addition to the neighborhood and feels so natural in its space. The drinks and food are so good - I’m not Mexican, I am Filipino (Mexicans of Asia) and drinking/eating at the local convenience store is a beloved pastime. I’m here often to swoop snacks and sugar fixings - esp the homemade Choco-flan and tres leches cakes, the variety of ice cream bars and pints - Arroz con leche and Churro in particular - and those green Tostitos!!
