50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Seattle

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

“I thought that $22 was too much for a burrito and a side of guacamole. I still think that but I'll admit that my chicken burrito did taste good. The meat was well tenderized and seasoned. Btw, I went here after randomly Googling Mexican restaurants near me for fun.“

“Excellent service and great food!!!“

“Delicious! And they have Vegan! 😍“

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

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“Led here by a Seattle Times article that didn’t quite do justice to just how yummy the creations really are. The tuna tostada was sold out, so I had the bay scallop ceviche which was divine. My daughter had some other concoction of forgotten name, but excellent flavors. We topped it off with a pumpkin paleta dessert. Go here, it’s fantastic.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

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

“Great food, excellent service“

“I went to their Seattle location for Cinco de Mayo. I had their mango margarita and their breakfast burrito with carnitas. Both were delicious! They have artwork available for purchase and I saw a couple I’d like to buy for myself. I will have to go back and do that.“

“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“

“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.“

“🤩Excellent for business parties or family. 🤩“

“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“

“What is this place?!? Taqueria? Birria lovers dream? Family? Yep!

Went in about an hour before closing and was greeted immediately upon entering. The menu is simple and very reasonably priced. The positions are VERY generous and the food is incredible.

There is also something special about the atmosphere. The way it’s been decorated. The little touches everywhere. It felt - like you just got invited into someone’s home for a meal. The service felt that same way.

Enter Brenda - part owner of this amazing establishment. Her energy and joy are infectious. She added so much to our dining experience. It was as if she had invited us to be guests at her home and couldn’t wait to share the passion in the food and the dream of this place.

This isn’t just a place to go because you like tacos, or if you know and love birria, or because it’s open. This is a place to go to experience a hug in the form of food. It’s a place to go if you’re missing home meals. It’s a place to go to thank people like Brenda and her family for putting this much joy in the world and soak a little up for yourself.

Gracias familia de Birrieria Pepe El Toro!!!

FYI - they also have food trucks for your corporate, neighborhood, and special event!!“

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

“They were the food truck option at my kid's Innovation High School readiness evening and they were a hit! I got the asada bowl, the kid got the asada sandwich and my wife got the el Diablo torta and every one of them was fantastic.

There is a slight kick to the meals, but I didn't think it was too bad.

Hopefully they will be back soon!“

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

“Best Mexican food hands down we’ve found as California transplants to Seattle. Alejandro gave us great service, the food from beginning to end was amazing and made with love, and it’s hard to find a place where every single salsa blew me away. Will be back over and over and over.“

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

“I come in from the park hungry and ask for a number 8 cause I want two beef burritos you know what I’m sayin and then they deliver this takeout box that’s got some kicking bean sauce and rice and it’s soooo yummy I’m like wow this is so much food actually I got more than two burritos and it’s delicious mmmmmm would eat again“

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

“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!“

“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 !“

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

“Hope the place succeeds. But for a women’s sport bar - the atmosphere is WAY too quiet. No music playing in the background. No tv sound is up

It’s like going to a friend’s wake and the tv is on.

I hope they can add a bit more ambiance to the space. Even basic background music would be a good step.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I had a carne asada, chicken tinga, and a birria taco. All the corn tortillas were made in the spot as well as an unbelievably perfect green salsa. And I know this is dangerous to say this, but I just got back from Guadalajara and I think the chicken Tinga was better here than it was down there.“

“This place has a special place in my heart. I've enjoyed the restaurant a few times on my own but me and my friend went in on the dia de los muertos parade event and it just felt *right*. Chips and queso is so good. The tacos are always good. Gotta say, the potato taco is my favorite. They also serve two soups and who doesn't love a warm cup of soup? It is a little pricey but it's worth the hype.“

“Exelente servicio… muy buena su comida“

“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 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.“

“Happy staff. Good etiquette ✔️“

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

“Flavorful, fast food in a vibrant, clean atmosphere. Fun energetic music. Friendly staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the burrito plate. Guacamole was creamy and the entree felt very fresh. You can stock your table with warmed tortilla chips and a salsa bar with vegetables and many salsas. Prices are reasonable with a portion I was able to split the meal and both leave satisfied!“

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

“Great place for happy hour or dinner“

“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.“

“Muy buena comida se las recomiendo al 100%“

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

“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“
