Casco Antiguo

There were three small parties ahead of me when I arrived, but I was alone and seated quickly after accepting to sit at the bar. This place is always busy, and for good reason. The bartender was great - he was constantly making drinks but still took my order and got my beverage in short order. Flautas De Queso were quite good - like a crispy rolled quesadilla, nice and gooey cheesy on the inside. The accompanying dipping sauce had great flavor and just the right amount of spicy kick, which was a perfect addition to the mild cheese. I also ordered the Cochinita tacos, and oh boy did I make the right choice. The tortillas were soft and fresh, and heaped with a generous amount of meat which had fantastic flavor. The 'yucatan style' seasoning had a wonderful depth of spices without being overpowering, and although I was full by the time I finished my mouth wanted more! Initially I wasn't too impressed by the cleanliness of the place - there were small bits of debris in random places acrcoss the floor, and tables of unbussed dishes. As I sat at the bar I kept getting a strong whiff of what seemed like green olives, but coulnd't quite locate where it was coming from. The tacos could have used more onions which were rather sparse, but they were delicious nonetheless. I was bit disappointed my Jarritos was served at room temperature with a meager amount of ice - it was 93 degrees outside today, and I like my beverages cold. The prices of menu items were quite fair, and I felt like I got a good amount of food for the total cost. The bartender deserved a healthy tip for his efforts. Because quality and taste of the food carries heavy weight with my ratings, this was a 4.5 star visit but I'm rounding due to the few items which fell a bit short of calling it amazing. I will definitely return to try some other menu items, and recommend this place to others.

Amazing flavorful tacos, love the scratch margarita, and churros are perfect. I've been here multiple times and always enjoy the experience. The service is lovely and food has always been incredible.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in downtown Seattle. Sure, it's a little fancy for my taste fancy, but this is downtown Seattle. Look at these birria quesadillas. Actually, I haven't had anything here that was not amazing.

Really fantastic taco joint. I wouldn’t call it “authentic” but the twist they give to each item made it sooo delicious. Big thick cut homemade chips for the chorizo queso, huge chucks of pork for the Al Pastor tacos, and dulce de leche for the churros. Even the sangria was more like a cocktail than a wine, but it was killer. I will absolutely be back. Great atmosphere and great service. Indoor and covered outdoor seating. Well behaved dogs were allowed inside which is always a perk to me. Can’t wait to come back amd try all the other tacos!
