16 Best Latin American Restaurants in Seattle

“Best Mexican food I’d had in Seattle! Can’t believe it took me this long to find this gem. I was so excited when I saw my carnitas I forgot to take photos… the salsa bar and the selection of hot sauces were ON POINT too!

One of the few places actually makes their carnitas not completely lean, and the mixture of fat/lean was so perfect that nothing was overwhelming. Even the side dishes it came with were delicious. the pickled pepper was refreshing and the beans actually had the perfect consistency (not overly thick or watery).

This will be my go-to for Mexican food for sure!!!! Can’t wait to come back and get the hot soup.“

“This is one of the best places to eat. The owner is wonderful and the staff as well. The food is awesome! We love to go here and will continue to!“

“One of my favorite spots for a laid-back Latino bite in Cap Hill! I’m all about their omelet dishes and bowls—good portions, super tasty. If you’re around, you have to try the Stef's Breakfast Bowl, Ropa Vieja, or Huevos Con Weenies. So good?“

“It is called afterlife btw :) <3 Fantastic drinks, as well! For a bar, you’ll find the best bartenders ever; and they will be the nicest best people. Proper shout-out to Timothy, and Devon; but and nicest people ever! If you want to have a good night/have fun/be with cool people, it will be at AfterLife. The place could never be doubted“

“Great service, Great atmosphere and most of all....a great bartender! 🍻👍...love you Miss Nana!“

“Absolutely amazing. Must have more! 😋“

“I was looking for a vegan-friendly restaurant and found this gem on the internet. It was the best restaurant meal we had all week while in Seattle! The chef was very kind and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If we ever make it back to the area, we will definitely eat here again!“

“This is such an awesome place to come swing by and have that evening shot at.

Ask for chips and salsa and go ahead and be bold and upgrade to adding beans along the side , such a delightful filler. Simple, yet tasty

Marcos is dope! Also kind, kool, and attentive.

So if you're in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood and just want to take a load off your feet, I suggest you swing on in“

“Pedro (the owner) brought his food truck to our annual event in Bellevue and totally blew all of our competitors, families and spectators away with the delicious and healthy food that was available. He was extremely professional and did an amazing job of keeping everyone satisfied with the delicious food on the menu and how well it was prepared. We will be using him again and again!“

“El Patio has delicious food, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. Pricing is very fair with large generous portions. -The tamales and pupusa’s are very good and filling!!! The bar is fully stocked and the kitchen is ready for large events! Don’t forget to try the specialty drinks & consider for catering. I will return many times with my family, this place is great!!!“

“Very good Argentine empanadas.“

“The intimate glow of Saturday evening set the perfect stage for our anniversary celebration at Tapas Angel. Each tapas dish told its own story - layers of flavor unfolding with every bite. Our friends' eyes lit up as plates arrived, the server moving with the grace and timing of a conductor. From the first pour of wine to the final shared dessert, the evening flowed like a well-orchestrated symphony. Some places merely serve food; this one creates memories. We're already planning our return.“

“I can’t believe I’ve lived up the road for five years and not been here before. We loved the atmosphere, the neighborhood its in, and the food was fantastic. It’s a local feel, clean and friendly. Recommend highly.“

“fantasticfood!! strawberry Margherita was great too. just wonderful. I know Seattle is mild Temps but I was hot in the restaurant. needed a little AC. Highly recommend!“

“Maya's catered our wedding and they were SPECTACULAR. Went above and beyond to give our 100 guests a really great dinner. We ordered a variety of tacos and fajitas, and they had the thought to include cheese enchiladas for any vegetarians. We had compliments from everyone about how good the food was! We have friends from up in Shoreline that have driven down to the Rainier Ave location to get dinner since the wedding!The setup was all very nice, and the staff set up the cutest tortilla chip basket waterfall, helped serve dinner, and even helped clean up and pack up the leftovers for us.They were easy to work with, priced fairly, and the food and service was excellent. Highly recommended!!“
