Melyssa MendozaJuly 6, 2013They 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 MORASMarch 4, 2014They 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 GreenApril 27, 2013Oaxacan 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 GreenApril 27, 2013Nice 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 GreenApril 27, 2013Sauces & 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
Eduard MatamorosSeptember 22, 2015Pozole: just the right amount of herbs and chili powder. Lean pork is an added plus.
Michael ZamotFebruary 3, 2016The meat was awesome. The coffee preparation is traditional. Very nice place.
- Drinks and food to go with drinks :) I recommend the patio!
The guacamole is a little bland. We mixed it with some salt and pico de gallo and it was much better!
Specialty Margarita with habañero lime syrup, is muy bueno!!
Hector TorresNovember 9, 2014It's just ok, I prefer "cactus" or "fogon" for mexican places in Seattle.
Alfredo Hinojosa HMarch 15, 2018If you are Mexican, don't go, just disappointment, worst in Seattle.
MeeHeeApril 26, 2013Not 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.

"This is the pinnacle experience from Starbucks. I recommend a nitro cold brew along with one of the fresh baked goods from Princi (Starbucks’ new bakery). Pricey but worth it - very busy on weekends"
