The owner waited on us and she was amazing and made the best margarita I’ve had in five years and the ceviche reminded me of the Baja and the queso was even better than the fish tacos, forget about it. Everything was amazing. And the prices are unbelievable. We sat on the deck and enjoyed the waning sun hours of summer into fall.

Disappointed by Overcharges and Lack of Transparency.

I ordered the Dip Trio (guac, salsa, and queso), but was charged extra for guac—even though it’s supposed to be included. I’ve seen others mention the same issue, so this doesn’t seem like a one-time mistake.

They also add an extra fee for paying with a credit card, which wasn’t clearly disclosed upfront. On top of that, I wasn’t shown the bill until *after* I paid, and only received a printed copy when I asked.

The mango drink was okay, but the other one wasn’t good.

Overall, I won’t be coming back due to the overcharges and poor billing transparency.

I ordered tacos, the tortillas are very greasy, and for anyone who is vegetarian, be aware that the black beans have bacon. My experience was very soso, I don’t think I’ll be back. Unfortunately.

If I could do less than one star I would. This is the menu. It says $9.99 for tacos before 1 o'clock. We were definitely there before 1 o'clock, we got the tacos that are pictured and the girl came back with the check for $21.99. when we told her that the check was wrong, she told us that we did not ask to have the lunch price. We did not ask to have the lunch price?? That's literally on your menu. Do we need to be specific as to what we want to pay? When we went to pay, we literally had our credit cards in our hand to pay this girl. She got so up in arms and was yelling at us, saying in front of other customers, that we were trying not to pay, we were there just to eat free. This is not the place to eat free, you ate all your food you have to pay! I asked to talk to a manager, so she called the guy that supposedly owns the place. He was just as rude and was yelling at me that we were trying to eat for free. So instead, we paid our $53 bill! BEWARE WHAT A SCAMMMM!! so rude, and in front of all of the customers that were in the restaurant. She kept telling us we are not trying to pay while we are standing there with our credit card in our hand telling her we just want to pay the amount that is shown on the menu! So rude of the girl that worked there and the guy that owns the place. Don't ever go.

Why is it so hard to get great Mexican food in Seattle? I had green chili enchiladas. They were average. What made them average is that the chicken is chopped and not shredded. This prevents the sauce, cheese, and all the juices from making each bite magic. Rice and beans were fine. No flare. Just average. My husband had chicken quesadilla. Average. Kids nachos were pretty yummy. Great service. Really nice to sit outside.

Food was great! Prices were way too high! Should offer happy hour daily! Spent 61$ for 2 people. Tacos and nacho fries shouldn't cost that much. In my opinion* also ordered 1 alcoholic bev. my date had water. The drink I ordered was really really good and had a beautiful presentation however, you mentioned it was from a machine I have nothing against that at all but would suggest that the second one be half off. Just for the 2 beverages served from the machine of course. It'd make for a great sell and I bet people would leave a bigger tip! Just a thought!

The food is ok, not very authentic and priced rather high. The last time I went the person working tried to charge me extra for chicken even though it was clearly marked as included in the menu price. (+2 dollars for other types of protein). Service has always been lacking friendliness. Just bleh
