They may not have many vegetarian options , but the 3 we tried are really solid choices. Potato tostadas , quesadillas and mushroom empanadas were really great! Nice use of flavorful salsa & texture.

PATRICIA CARRION MORAS

They don't have the "mini-tlayudas" on the menu because they don't always have them available. But if you are in luck and they have them, you must try them!

Steph Drives Green

Oaxacan food is a specialty - that's the beauty of it! Don't expect typical burritos , tacos , & nachos of Mexican food you can get anywhere.

Steph Drives Green

Nice mole sauce - I hope they'll use it in a few more dishes (vegetarian too please!) & hope they'll add veggie tacos to the list

Steph Drives Green

Sauces & beans are vegetarian ; rice is not (chicken ). They'll happily modify menu items for you, so just ask! Patio will be popular in great weather

Pozole : just the right amount of herbs and chili powder . Lean pork is an added plus.

Jordyn

Good happy hour . All of our tacos were yummy and great margaritas .

Michael Zamot

The meat was awesome. The coffee preparation is traditional. Very nice place.

Jack Reeves

Solid spot for carne asada and tacos . Also salsa bar .

Silvia Adriana

Enchiladas are the best and cocktails with Mezcal are great.

Drinks and food to go with drinks :) I recommend the patio !

Ullas Unnikrishnan

Pork tacos are amazing. The pork is so tender and flavorful!

Katy Harrison

The guacamole is a little bland. We mixed it with some salt and pico de gallo and it was much better!

Tana Babcock

Simply delicious!! Get the Molotes with a house margarita !

Eric Hodel

All the meat dishes are deliciously tender

This place is more than happy to over serve. Take that as you will.

It's just ok, I prefer "cactus " or "fogon" for mexican places in Seattle.

House Margarita 's are the best!!

Alfredo Hinojosa H

If you are Mexican, don't go, just disappointment, worst in Seattle.

MeeHee

Not what I expected... You pay a lot for a little... I thought it was the opposite. My BF waiting 30+ to get a small portion of chicken in Mole sauce .

Shannon Houghton
