Dany Jolly

The food was fresh and delicious. The salsa and chips were so good I almost didn't need my entree. I'm glad I ordered the steak tacos . So delicious!

Heather Early

Try the yam tacos , the spicy jalapeno salsa is the best! Or better yet, just order a side of the salsa . It makes a great dare.

Michael W

If you go see if you get seated in Angela's section, as she is one of the best servers I've ever experienced. She is outgoing, offers great suggestions & overall a very nice person. Enjoy!

Lenny Gallo

While paella is not something you normally rave about–this one takes the cake . Absolutely amazing—one of the best I've ever had. Order it with chicken or steak . If you want some protein.

Bonnie Lake

I eat here often. I especially like the gas fires on the tables in the bar when it's cold with their chicken tortilla soup .

Irina Gushchina

Nice atmosphere for dinner and drinks with friends. Everything we ordered was delicious! P.s. they even have horchata :)

Sadie T

Great friendly service . Must try the Fresa margarita , it's made with house infused strawberry tequila making it not only fresh but not too sweet as well .

Jack Reeves

The coolest outdoor seating area on cap hill . Plenty of bar seating and they have one of those table top fire pits . Good views of street traffic is a bonus.

Mel

Everything I've ordered here has been great. There's always something good on tap .

Race Bannon

I was walking around Capitol Hill to find a nice place to eat and tried this place. I'm so glad I did. The food and service were wonderful.

Veronica Weber-Stiles

The green tomatillo salsa is amazing! Very flavorful, not spicy . Rice is tasty and moist. Tortilla soup infuses the chicken with flavor!

Thrillist

This 122-seat comida-ry from the dudes behind Ballard's hyper-successful French-taurant Bastille was inspired by a vintage neon "Poquitos" sign they salvaged five years ago. Read more

Matthew Monsoor

Try the Jala-piña Poquitos margarita with jalapeño-infused tequila & pineapple . Yum good!

Lu Novaes

One of my favorite places in Capitol Hill . Great food & great bar .

Matt Mitgang

A Seattle restaurant that has fish tacos ! Not up to San Diego standards, but they were still decent. Lots of well made margaritas here.

Duncan Gibbs

Beet salad for arugula lovers! Savory and sweet entree stands on its own.

Todd Alexander

Good queso fundido and drinks. Would like to go back and grab dinner .

Nicole Goddard

The natural margarita is delicious. They use FRESH limes and not the artificial sweet and sour crap :) I also loved the fish tacos . YUM!

Ricardo Hernandez

Stick to the tacos all other stuff is expensive and unauthentic. Get them for $5 at happy hour after 11pm.

sean vasquez

self sitting so my tip sit in the main dinning room the backbar too noisy .try there salsa green and red with chips delicious.

Foxxy B

good happy hour (every day) but mediocre food and drink -- watery/heavily iced margaritas , odd guac , etc.... a lot of space inside and out

Steve Hill

Contrary to many Yelp ratings, this place is superb. Portions are reasonably sized and filling. Several of us wondered why they charge for chips and salsa . Try the Jalapeno Margarita .

Lara W

The Grande Oaxaca Tostada is HUGE! Do yourself a favor and share with at least two other people! Ceviche is melt-in-your-mouth yummy :)

Isabella Organ

Right next to Havana, this place is new, roomy , nice and has some crafty cocktails and gives you a mountain of guacamole ! Read more

Sarah O

The jalapeño margaritas were on point. Super super spicy . As far as the tacos , maybe I wasn't drunk enough for them. Kinda boring. However the empanadas were bomb.

SityGrl ✈️☕️????

Jalapeño Margarita is everything!!! Bartender a bit rude though...

Sven Liden

All-day Wednesday specials on Sparkle Donkey tequila !

Joshua Lind

Just go for chip & guac plus a margarita . The salsa is SUPER mild so be sure to mix in some habanero and other sauce.

Zachariah Muhlenkamp

Awesome salsa ! Good guac , and al pastor tacos

Celinka To

Asado Platter (good for 2), beer , and margaritas

Tobias Nehren

Great Mexican food ! Try the Guac and the Ceviche .

Steven Reca

Margaritas are so good! 8/10. They are served in a tall glass so you can't drink the salt.

Kyn M.

...the chips and guacamole ...absolutely AMAZING!!!! My other fav is the Carne Asada...simply divine!!!!

Veronica Weber-Stiles

Oh, and Jeanelle (a server) was very friendly and helpful with info about the food and the area. Great customer service!

Mary Letterman

The tortilla soup was delicious. Great service good prices.

Andréa Campbell

Best jalapeno margarita 's EVER! No where else compares!

Daniel Tewfik

Get a spot on their patio if it's nice out.

Lauren

Jala-Pina margarita was spicy and fabulous. Bring your tequila loving friends here.

Virginie Verhoeven

Great mexican food , sat at outdoor seating

Vicente Plata

The "Queso Fundido w/Verde Chorizo " is delicious!!

Micah Spieler

The guac was huge and tasty; I'd skip the ceviche .

Ahmad C

the water tastes like it was imported from Las Vegas. Beef tacos are worth the visit.

Hotel Max

Delicious Mexican food ! Open 11:30a - 1a! Happy hour from 3p - 5p. Try the $5 veggie tamale . It's pretty freakin' delicious!

Josh Williams

Grasshoppers! Good for a challenge, not particularly good in practice. Didn't like the seasoning.

Rachael Brooks

They lure you in with there amazing salsa verde and then serve you super bland fish tacos . Just come for drinks and salsa .

Franz Falkowski

The food was decent, I wasnt super amazed. But my server was amazing and the churros are to die for!

Ece

Cocktails are not the best honestly. Good ambience though

Brooke Agather

Wonderful as always! Get the jalapeño marg !

Daisha N

Jalapeño and pineapple margarita and regular margarita was bomb, but I got drunk.
