50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Seattle

“Bomb tacos and I love the burrito bowl. El Pastor is my fav.“

“Excellent service and great food!!!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service and such a pretty view while dining. I highly recommend Agua Verde.“

“Delicious! And they have Vegan! 😍“

“La semana pasada tuve la oportunidad de conocer el restaurante, fue una experiencia buena, el servicio, la comida el ambiente, pero hubo algo que si me gustaría que lo consideraran, yo tenía ganas de probar el chile en nogada y me encantó pero para mí no fue suficiente como porque el chile no va acompañado de nada creo que ese arroz que tienen estaría muy bien para acompañarlo porque para mí no fue suficiente comida, de ahí todo lo demás estuvo excelente.“

“Super amazing find! We were visiting from Texas and were so pleased with the pollo tamales! I also got a strawberry watermelon Aguas frescas and it was amazing! Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful!“

“Great food, friendly staff, clean. I love the tostadas.“

“The best steak i have ever had !! Everything was sooo good! All the salsas were delicious. Loved it ! You gotta have dessert.. arroz con leche!“

“Everett hidden gem for Mexican food! I will definitely continue eating here! Everything was so flavorful and the staff was so kind! 100/10 highly recommend!!“

“We love coming back here whenever we visit family in Seattle - the food is always delicious (especially amazing mole, fresh tortillas) and their mezcal cocktails are well-balanced. Everyone working here is welcoming and attentive - we can’t wait to go back next time ❤️“

“I've been going to Taqueria El Asadero for over 12 years. During that time, I've tried several other taco trucks, and recently, there's been a few opening up on Rainier Avenue, which I did try. While these have good food, they don't come close to El Asadero's delicious food. They don't even compare. I've tried many of their dishes over the years which all have been so good with great quality. The birria burrito, though, is my all time favorite. The only criticism I had in the past was the amount of fat in the birria (which never stopped me from ordering it). Though, in the last year or two, I've noticed that has changed. I'm rarely picking fat out of the meat. So, if you are looking for a Taco truck with the most delicious food and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend you go to El Asadero. You won't regret it.“

“Delicious, friendly and open late! There is not really a good place to sit when it's cold or rainy, but there are picnic tables available.

Parking: Parking lot around the corner that is labeled for McLendons but no one ever uses it“

“🤩Excellent for business parties or family. 🤩“

“This place is so good, food and drinks are on point! Definitely recommend for a romantic couple or a get together with friends.“

“This place has amazing food! We were always tracking down their food truck, but we’re so glad they have a brick and mortar location now also!

Parking: We always find street parking nearby, but it may be difficult at times.“

“Delicious food & drinks and amazing service . What else can I ask for . Definitely recommended“

“I feel more Mexican restaurants are essentially Tex Mex. I got tacos and the main thing that killed them are the packaged tortillas. All tacos had 2 layers of tortillas which in my opinion dont taste too great. The fish tacos plate was $25 for 3 tacos and no rice or beans. Also the tacos couldve used a bit more salsa and crema. And the salsa used is your basic tabasco and cholula. The flavors of all food items were very spot on. The cocktails were deliscous and the service was 10/10“

“Best tacos- full stop! Tacos are $3 and absolutely amazing. Please promote delicious affordable dining in Seattle.“

“A-mazing. I recommend to all... but surely wish they could be open more🤯“

“Amazing food, just stopped in and had one of their amazing burritos! I was looking for a hamburger joint, but found his place instead. Glad I did! Will definitely be going back next time I am in Seattle!“

“Great Seattle neighborhood restaurant. I wish I lived here so I could come here more often“

“Best breakfast burritos I’ve EVER had in Seattle! So freaking delicious. Great staff and a beautiful restaurant! And the Micheladas were so perfect. Totally recommend !“

“Malena's is my favorite taco in Seattle. The burritos are HUGE and the tacos (hard shell) are delicious. Guacamole is legit and i could eat their salsas with everything. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Rolled tacos as good as Olvera street in LA. Burritos put chain stores to shame. Such good food and freshly prepared to order.“

“Happy staff. Good etiquette ✔️“

“Exelente servicio… muy buena su comida“

“Good food good drinks good people. Don’t need to say no more…“

“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“

“Food is super tasty, fresh , fast and satisfying. However, I have had issues with add ons. If I pay for an add on I expect to get enough. I've added avocado and litteraly got one slice. I've added sour cream and got less than teaspoon in a huge burrito. Other than that, I love this truck and will keep coming back because it is delicious and convenient! Just won't pay for add ons anymore.“

“Order ahead recommended. Burritos 🌯 fresh and handmade right then and there! Parking lit should be supervised people park sloppy blocking other to exit.“

“Bomb tacos and I love the burrito bowl. El Pastor is my fav.“

“A fun ska/punk kinda Mexican food place. Been here twice already in a month. I had the Carnitas burrito wet style. Really good, carnitas could of used a bit more crisping/fry to it but other than that it was great. Had a can of Rainier with chips and salsa. All their sauces are so good. Service was fast, friendly and authentic. Cool people work there. Second time we went happened to be during a Pride event so it was pretty busy in the area but the upstairs area was open so we went up there. Wife and I had the verde chicken taco salad. Loved it! We had Micheladas with our food. Service again was outstanding considering how busy they were. Always love going to Alki it reminds me of back home in Santa Cruz, CA when we lived there. Brings me comfort when I'm feeling homesick.“

“We didn’t have time to eat here but when we asked about the blue corn tortillas, the person attending us was super informative and friendly, giving us all kinds of interesting info about their passion for making the masa. We did buy some of the masa to bring back home and made tortillas with them and it was delicious. Thank you!“

“Far and away one of my favorite Mexican places. This place has ambiance, a separate bar that carries Mariners games and other sports, and, of course, amazing food. Plus the waitresses and bartenders are very nice. Is that enough? I think it's very deserving of five stars.“

“I love coming to this place! Great atmosphere and the food consistently hits the spot. Always clean with welcoming vibes.“

“Friendly people. Delicious food. Always nice to have tasty options in the neighborhood. In former Baja Bistro space.“

“Good authentic Oaxacan food and great service. Prices are very reasonable. We had the Oaxacan pizza and lamb dish, they were both really delicious. Portions are big, especially the pizza. We paid around $25 per person. Parking could be challenging here. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you like Mexican flavors.“

“This might have become my go-to spot in Seattle.
I tried the Al Pastor, Carnitas, Chorizo, and Tripa. The Tripa was a bit too chewy, but it was good.
The alpastor was flavorful and delicious. The Carnitas was the perfect mix of crunchy and great flavor. The chorizo doesn't need any send away party. it's really good.
The Horchata has a bit too much cinnamon but it was good.
And the thing that won me over before the tacos. The green sauce. Its the perfect mix of mild with slightly spicy after taste.“

“Great music playing but a little too loud. I want to eat not dance.“

“Great place for happy hour or dinner“

“Loved the ceviche!! Great food!“

“I finally decided to give Sophie's Tacos a try and now I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

From the family cooking to the food, everything is perfect.

I had the taco plate with Carnitas. Served with Mexican Rice and Pinto Beans this plate was enough for two people (or one hungry person). The Chips and Salsa are handmade and have a lime and salt flavor. The salsa is delicious and a tad spicy. My wife had the Pollo Quesadilla and it was super flavorful as well. The Passionfruit Agua Fresca was so good and brought the meal together nicely.

Go grab yourself a great meal at Sophie's Tacos you won't regret it!

Parking: Parking is behind the building near the bike shop.“

“muy buen servicio muy ricos los tacos al pastor“

“RECOMIENDO LAS ENCHILADAS POBLANAS Y APROVECHO PARA FELICITAR AL PERSONAL DE ÉSTE GRAN RESTAURANT POR SUS FINAS ATENCIONES“

“Colorful energetic and lively I love the collaboration between the delicious food producing business from the kitchen and the delicious drink producing bar. I actually met clients here or the kind of meeting we were having it was delightfully suited.“

“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Tacos are out of this world; great service and it's in the same parking lot as The Green Door. One of Seattle's favorite cannabis shops around...... talk about a great set up!!! you kill two birds with one stoned moment. it is a must.“

“Brutal delicioso y muy rápido!“

“Great food and drinks plus excellent service… What’s not to like? 🥳“

“Happy we were able to get a table before the brunch service was over. The food was amazing. Service was just ok, was ignored by the first server when checking in for our reservation. Saw us didn't even acknowledge us as to hey someone will be right with you. Was able to get someone attention to check and it was good from that point on. We had the server who ignored us and again not the worst service or the best just ok. Overall will come back when in the area food was amazing and would love to try other items. We got the chopped salad and chips with a beer. Awesome day to be out so it was nice to stop in for a snack.“

“I absolutely love this place. Best mexican food I’ve tried in the Seattle area. I’ve been going here pretty regularly since 2019 and have not had a single bad experience. I always get a chicken burrito with whole black beans and no dairy. The rice is always tasty, never too much either. They’re generous with the protein. The seasonings are used well, but the magic comes with the sauces. Most taco trucks just use standard suppliers for their ingredients and you can tell, but not here. They make their own sauces. They have a red sauce, green sauce and a spicy sauce. I always get the spicy sauce. Its maybe more spicy than many people could handle but used sparingly still packs a solid flavor-punch.Burritos are my default because they are amazing value. $11 for effectively two meals.I’ve gotten each arrangement and combination a few times, and my go to for a more reasonable portion is three chicken tacos. At $2.50 a taco its also a pretty good deal.I don’t think there are any additional charges for meats (except lengua) so getting carne asada, barbacoa or carnitas isn’t any different. I would highly recommend the barbacoa on tacos or butritos.“
