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.“

“Delicious! And they have Vegan! 😍“

“Great food and margueritas. Excellent service.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Quaint little hole in the wall with great flavors from Oaxaca. Very much a local fav vibe by the amount of traffic coming in and out. Ordered the Pozole and it was loaded with intense flavor and the pork was super tender. I’m a mezcal fan so they offered some good mezcals to sample. Ordered the Rey Campero flight and it didn’t disappoint. The tostadas with avocado salsa were a great appetizer. Light but could be a meal in itself. Our server was great but it was a bit clunky getting seated and our host didn’t say much. Still worth a visit.“

“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. 🤩“

“One of the better Mexican taqueria trucks in the south end of the Seattle city limits. If your coming from Rainier Valley, Beacon Hill, Central District it's worth the drive and order pickup. Most of the dishes come with pickled veggies and a variety of 2-3 chili sauces on the side. Wait time is usually no more than 10 minutes. Try the burrito or quesadilla with your favorite filling as a standard for their food. Open till 10pm allows for good food options later in the evening (Instead of fast food) if your in Seattle.“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been to Alebrijes Kitchen twice for dinner, and I have enjoyed both meals. If you can handle/enjoy some heat, the camarones appetizer is so good. I enjoy mojitos with a ton of mint, and Alebrijes Kitchen does not disappoint. The Veggie Verde Enchiladas are very cheesy and seasoned well. My partner enjoyed the Carne Asada, describing the meat as very flavorful and tender. For dessert, he had the key lime pie. It was delicious. I had the flan, which was very creamy. Overall, service is speedy. Be prepared to street park. Although, I haven’t come a cross an issue finding spots. As a Southern California native, this restaurant reminds me of the comfy Mexican food I grew up with.“

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

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

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

“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“

“This is my favorite taco truck in Seattle and also in the entire world. Whenever I’m away from Seattle it’s the main thing I miss and the first place I go from the airport. I talk about taquitos feliz at least once every day and recommend it to everybody I know. I have made loving this taco truck a central feature of my personality. Loyal customer forever the chicken tacos are my favorite food“

“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!“

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

“Every time I come the service and food is great. Last Saturday the server in her 50's?? Was not nice, I said thank you for her help and she said ,yeah very rudely and walked away. Never experienced that from the staff before. We had a male server after that,he was very nice. The food was quick and delicious. Check it out, good stuff.“

“My partner and I have to keep ourselves from eating here every night. I love to sit in the patio, everyone who works and owns the restaurant is incredibly kind & personable.

My favorite thing to order is the half chicken with rice and beans- I’m a simple gal, the complimentary chips and salsa is something I regularly crave.

The food is always delicious- the service is always fast. My partner and I regularly spilt an entree here, get a few drinks and the bill is usually around 40-45$.

Easily my favorite weeknight/ happy hour/ late night dinner spot/ favorite spot in Capitol Hill.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here on a really nice day so it was quite busy. We were sat in about 10 minutes outside. The seating outside is pretty tight (we had 4 people) so maybe sit inside if youre wanting a both or have more than 2 people. the staff was attentive and nice. Got our food in a reasonable amount of time, and it was all hot. Very tasty! Really like the jalapeño poppers. The tacos were very good. Ohhh so Is the rice! Would definitely go again. Prices wernt too bad either.“

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

“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!!“

“By the shimmering threads of the culinary tapestry, La Carta de Oaxaca weaves a potent enchantment! The aromas that waft forth are nothing short of alchemical, transforming humble ingredients into dishes of pure magic. The very essence of Oaxaca seems captured within their walls, a palpable energy that warms the spirit. The ministrations of the servers were swift and knowing, as if guided by unseen forces. And the food! Each bite was a revelation, a journey into flavors both ancient and wondrous. Five stars, certainly, for this haven of earthly delights touched by something truly special.“

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

“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.“

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

“Loved the ceviche!! Great food!“

“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.“

“Good food,good friendly customer service. Good easy to understand menu. Reasonable prices.But the food, and the service was much much better when the big owner used to be working inside the kitchen years ago.food takes a very long time to come out of the kitchen after you place your order. So prepare your self to wait for a very long time about 30 minutesHighly recommend call & order food before comingSo it very bad to come get a lunch in lunch break. Lunch break time will be wasted on just waiting for lunchParking lot is smallSurrounding area is very tough, not good to park nice cars too far. Cover your belongings in your car if parked car out of sight.“

“Great food, excellent service“

“Nacho Borracho in Capitol Hill is an absolute gem! The shrimp burrito was phenomenal—packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The carne asada burrito was also delicious, with generous portions that definitely didn’t disappoint. But what truly blew my socks off were the al pastor tacos. The orange sauce that came with them was out of this world, adding just the right kick to each bite. The burritos were massive, so you definitely get your money’s worth.

One small downside was that they were out of chicken, but honestly, the other options were so good I didn’t mind too much. It’s worth noting that this spot is inside a bar, so the music and patrons can get pretty loud. However, if you’re okay with a lively atmosphere, Nacho Borracho is a must-go! Don’t let the noise deter you—this place is a true Capitol Hill treasure.“

“This is the best of the best. They just seem to do it better! I use both drive through and eating in. For some reason their Veggie Burrito out does the other places. Plus I always feel like it’s a healthier choice for fast food.“

“Delicious food! Great service!“

“Casco Antiguo is a vibrant Mexican restaurant in Seattle known for its fresh, flavorful dishes and lively atmosphere. Their tacos, especially the carnitas and baja fish, are standouts, made with house-made tortillas and bold, authentic flavors. Service is friendly and the prices are reasonable for the quality. Whether you're in Pioneer Square or South Lake Union, Casco Antiguo offers a consistently enjoyable dining experience that’s both modern and true to tradition.“

“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.“

“Best Mexican food I’ve ever had hands down! Great food great service! Never disappoints! Would recommend burrito express to anyone!“
