El Borracho

Dear lord, this place is delightful. Very friendly staff . Good prices, divey-er and thus less likely to be filled with idiots than what is expected from some of the other spots in Ballard. I approve.

Go tongue and cheek, seriously. Get the lengua and cachete tacos . Also, if you get a frozen-double-el-cheapo, you’re less likely to drink it too fast.

Pretty cool place. Great late-night happy hour , especially for food. Starts at 11pm, and the $1 tacos are small but tasty. Nice staff . Entirely solid salsa selection.

The flour tortillas that are used for the tacos have a warm and mildly moist texture that pairs very well with the meat. I'm coming back soon.

Everything can be made into a Burrito , and good Burritos at that. The Xmas style wet Burrito with red and green sauce is great.

Love the sunlight shining on the bar through two skylights ... Gives it an open feel. El cheapo is a good one

The pastor is solid, and this is one of the few places I've found in Seattle that serves it. Doesn't quite compare to what I'm used to in San Diego.

The a la carts tacos are great, and the homemade salsas are really fresh and tasty.

Tacos are... fine. It's the late night happy hour pricing that makes it worth it.

The duck and lamb tacos are amazing. And try the hibiscus margarita .

Tacos during happy hour are only a dollar. They're small but filled with meat. Really good!

There are three better Mexican options a block or so away: Garcia, Senor Moose , and La Carta de Oaxaca.

Great tacos ! Love the atmosphere.

Skip the cheapo margarita . $4 wine for happy hour . Pretty good!

I was pretty meh on this place. The margarita was all right. The chips , I'm fairly sure, were Juanita's. The Al Pastor taco was great, though. Pretty loud place.

Their chips and salsa are amazing, although no free refills :-(

Happy hour 4-7. Tons of tacos ! Yummy!

The happy hour $1 taco deal is awesome.

Such glorious nachos

The cochinitas pibil tacos are life changing.

Please don't say "kids welcome until 4" if you cannot cater to actually having children there.

Margaritas were watered down, burritos were mostly rice with very little meat and service was so/so. If you want Mexican food and you're in Ballard go a cpl blocks down the road to Senor Moose .

The Al Pastor tacos are awesome!!

Tasty food and good margaritas .

Their tacos are below average and our server was a little slow. However the margaritas are pretty well made. Don't think I'll ever go back though.

Nachos with shredded chicken

Carnitas and Sex on the Beach

Was really hoping for a better happy hour for drinks. But happy hour for food is great.

Tinga de Conejo & Pato!

Carnitas tacos

No minors after 4p

Come for the food, not the slow and poor service.
