Carrie Lawson

Fine Southwestern cuisine brought to the PNW! Start with a Margarita or Fine Tequila . The Butternut Squash & Seafood Enchilada are incredible. For dessert , have the Tin Roof Sundae or Bananas Dulce !

Maryam Soltani

love this restaurant . Brunch tastes great and the service is really good. we will come back pretty soon.

Angelos Petropoulos

Good brunch menu . The housemade chorizo egg skillet is amazing and was my usual until I got so fat I had to start ordering their grilled steak salad instead, which is also delicious.

Carrie Lawson

The Camarones Diablo Tacos with the mango ginger slaw on house made corn tortillas are the best reason to leave home. I love them!

Holly G

The pollo tacos are sooooo good, the white corn tortias are the best I've had anywhere. If you enjoy Mexican and Southwestern style good you must try this place!!

Pricy margarita , was more than my meal! Butternut squash enchilada was fantastic. So was the flan for dessert .

If you are looking for a cocktail try the house Margarita . It is one of the best in the Seattle area.

Omkar Kurode

Nice Brunch menu !

For all vegetarians , try the house chimichanga . It is very flavorful.. You can ask the chef to add some jalapenos in to make it spicy ..

Andrew M

CALL AHEAD: Friday nights can have wait time of up to 1.5 hrs. Half Nachos are big & pretty good, the Quesadilla is really good w/ bacon .

Ya G

Yes it is a Mexican place but mojitos over margaritas .. Fish Tacos r good and so is the fundidos appetizer . Cannot go wrong with most things. Entrees are big

Jenny Ma

Ginger beer , fresh chips , good Benedict for brunch !

Sarah Clise

For a non-alcoholic drink with some kick, try the Mexican Lemonade . The jalepeño will wake you right up :)

Flavors of Mexico and the Southwest. Featuring many tapas , or little dishes for starters, or several together could make a meal. The staff is capable and energetic, the prices moderate. Read more
