I like a lot of things here. I like the pollo tacos for instance. I LOVE the verde salsa here. It is the best salsa in Seattle and there are some great salsas in Seattle. I’d drink this stuff.

When you return the kayak , head upstairs—Agua Verde also has a restaurant that serves Baja-inspired fare. The fish tacos and the salsa bar are excellent. Read more

Waterfront dining on a budget. Lunch here for a view of the Montlake Cut and tasty Baja eats at around $8 a plate. During weekday happy hour , pay for a 2-hour kayak rental and get a 3rd hour free. Read more

Love the salsa . Best in Seattle. My favorite is the verde. This coconut flan is phenomenal. Save a little room for el postre.

Alexandra Watt

They have a place to dock your boat specifically for the restaurant , they also rent kayaks . A great place to visit on a hot day.

Jenn P

The El Patron was delicious and huge. My strawberry marg was good but a bit steep at $9 IMO.

Daniel Rossi

They have great tacos.And their verde salsa is legendary. But if you want a breakfast burrito and coffee go elsewhere. They're SUPER slow and the line builds up. The wait can be excruciating.

Elizabeth Burstein

Lovely outdoor seating . Get the u dub purple marg . And chicken burrito . Good but slightly spicy guac

Riona MacNamara

Love! Low-key, fun, great vegan mushroom tacos , love the salsa bar .

Colby Moorberg

Everything is good here. You can't go wrong. The fish tacos are especially good.

Shannon Scott

The nachos are great, but the Tuna Margarita is more for looks than taste.

Erica W

The quesadilla de champinenos was delicious, and the half size was the perfect portion!

Gloria

Order the horchata fresa , the fried cod or the yam tacos . The salmon taco and baked cod tacos were disappointing.

Alyssa Russell

LOVED the cadillac margarita and awesome steak dinner :) Beautiful setting on the water on a sunny day, and fun to chill on the patio ! Read more

Kori Young

So good. Especially the chipotle hot sauce . I suggest breakfast with the family here.

Vincent Filby

Tacos . Drinks. Salsa . It’s a great location to get something to eat and watch the water.

Tory Johnson

The happy hour is amazing! Get the Tunarita for $5 and some nachos for $3.50! The staff is always friendly and the to-go counter is very convenient

Muthu Kumar Veerapen

The view from the pier is a great accompaniment to the sumptuous tacos served!

Greg Croak

Best spot to meet up for happy hour around South Campus

Sarah Nelson

Fish Tacos & Margaritas overlooking Lake Union. Great for a summer day lunch

Regine Javenia

Order the Mole burrito or El Presidente with the Rice Milk drink, the ambiance was good and the food was terrific.

Jennifer Burlington

On the water views and good Mexican food . Kayak rental available too

Alexandra Watt

Mango Rita was delicious, but very dangerous. They taste so good!!!

Axel Vilas

Nice views but the service is pretty bad. The margaritas seem to have little/no alcohol . The layout is impractical, with the staff unable to explain the differences between the bar and restaurant .

Ariel A

Plenty of vegetarian options , and the Mexican chai is awesome.

Shauna Story

Bacalao burrito is the bomb. Skip the the chips , and save all the room in your belly for this big delicious meal.

Luis JB

The Pacifico caguama beer with Nachos are the perfect combo !!

KT Gosh

Try to come before noon or after 12:45 to miss the lunch rush!

Ben Stein

Might have the best fish tacos in the city . plus salsa bar

Connor

Pretty cheap for the view you'll be getting. The burritos are nice.

Harjas Singh

The salsa and mangodilla were amazing!

Nam Le

Salmon tacos are amazing! Don't forget to get the self serve salsas . They are the best part!

Amy Priestley

A double kayak rents for $18/hr at the Paddle Club. Take it out to the left and thru the Montlake Cut to the Arboretum. So much fun!

Aishe Memetova

The summer terrace is amazing!

Quite possibly the BEST, most authentic Mexican food I've ever had!
