Authentic Mexican food near Seattle? YES. This one!! You have to get the bean dip and the rice and beans are out of this world. I'm from California and my family knows Mexican food. Those two things alone were the best I've had in years. Maybe decades. The entire family is working. Mama is cooking. The enchilada sauce is the real deal too. read more

Came in during lunchtime. FYI, there's a lot of parking nearby, but it's paid for the most part. Staff were super friendly. A lot of indoor seating. Service was super fast and I got my food right away. Food was very flavorful and I really enjoyed the salsa bar. I would totally come back. read more

Best mushroom tacos I've ever had!!! I'm vegetarian, so have tried all kinda of veggie tacos. The hongo (mushroom) tacos here were so good. They came out steaming hot, with big meaty chunks of mushroom. The corn tortillas tasted freshly made. They also have a nice salsa bar. Everything was so fresh. This place is awesome! I'll definitely be back. Super nice people too. read more

I went for lunch and it was disgusting. I had the taco plate. The rice and beans wasn't good and I had steak tacos which are crumbles of meat was so disgusting. I just left it there and I told him that I couldn't eat that and he was like OK they're not concerned about accommodating your customers or having good food. read more

Really really good Mexican food in Greenwood! The best I've had in Seattle for sure. The salsa bar was amaaaaaazing, with 8 salsas available! Two of them were so good that we refilled our little cups. Definitely get the chips so you can try all the salsas. The flavors are authentic and the portions are huge! Prepared to be full. The veggie chile relleno was big and well-cooked, but I wasn't a fan of the earthy veggies inside and the sauce wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. Dropping a star for this, but the gorditas and other dishes looked better! The staff is super kind. They sell their salsas to-go too! I'd definitely come back. The menu is a bit pricey, but it's good Mexican food in Seattle and the portions are so big that it's like two meals in one! :) read more

All of our dishes were very sweet and otherwise nearly unseasoned and flavorless. Even the salsas were sugary. My local taco truck serves much more flavorful meals read more

The food wasn't bad, wasn't great, nice little spot. My main problem was the price compared to the food quality, very expensive for what you're getting in my opinion. read more

Updating to make this 5 stars. This place never disappoints. Tasty comfort food and warm friendly service.

Amazing lowkey spot for some fire food! Thoroughly enjoyed the street tacos plate and my horchata. Definitely recommend check it out if you're in the area read more

Always a hit! Love the gorditas and pupusas. Salsa is always fresh and on point, so many choices, something for everyone. read more

Delicious, authentic Mexican food. Loved every bite, and the salsa bar, and the margaritas, and the cozy atmosphere, and the lovely host. We will definitely be back! read more

everything I have ever ordered here has been cooked to perfection and is absolutely delicious (excluding the Piccadillo burrito - it wasn't very traditional so it wasn't what I was expecting). Their salsa bar is also so iconic plus the papusas are BOMB. read more

My first time eating here. I got a carnitas torta and it was delicious! The carnitas was really flavorful. I also tried a dessert, flan on chocolate cake. So good! Super nice people, too! Can't wait to go back! read more

Cashier was so sweet. But the food was just mediocre. Torta roll was immediately soggy and filling was fair, and the veg chile rellenos was bland- nice veggies inside but sauce was flavorless, no cheese. Also, the rice was crunchy- not cooked all the way. Corn tortillas were fantastic. read more

I really think the only thing keeping this place from being packed is the aesthetic/low lighting. The food is SO good. Seriously. You get fresh piping hot chips and a full salsa bar with some of the best salsas I've found out here. I wish I could buy some of them in jars to take home. The tortillas are made in house. I've come here a handful of times now and ordered something different each time - each one, an absolute banger. Also, hands down, the best guacamole on seattle! Fight me on that. The staff is really lovely. They have outdoor seating available. Please check it out, I'll be so sad if they ever go away! read more

The food was amazing and I highly recommend this place. At most restaurants the rice and beans really aren't great but here, the rice was fluffy and both rice and beans were quite tasty. My birria tacos were really good and my parents enjoyed the carne asada. We're in town from the San Francisco Bay Area and I'm glad we found them. Picture taken after realizing the food was great and I had to write a review. read more

Abuelita's Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Folks were very nice. Food was very average in my opinion. Got the pupusas- which I thought were on the dry side and had a really thick masa layer and not very much filling. (Saved by a lot of salsa.) The rice that came with it was very bland as well. Husband got the Torta which came on what was an American deli sub looking bread. Definitely firmer and a thicker bread, compared to what we've seen at most other places. The inside was pretty tasty and they have a nice selection of salsas which is always nice. Decent spot but definitely not on our top mexican food spots in seattle. read more

This is Luna Azul, just rebranded. This is a fantastic spot for Mexican food in north Seattle. They have the salsa bar, home made flan, and delicious tacos and tortas. Their birria taco is especially good, definitely stop in! read more

We went to Abuelita's for the first time today, and it was a great experience. We just moved from California, and we were in desperate need of good Mexican food. The carne asada and al pastor burritos were tasty and a large portion. The salsas were on point with spice level. The tres leches cake reminded me of my mom's cake at home. What a gem in the neighborhood! read more

Today I went here for lunch and had the chilaquiles verde. If this is your dish you need to go there immediately! I've eaten here many times and the food is always incredible but today it was spectacular! The flavors are intense and perfectly balanced and it comes with a side of the best refried beans you will ever eat. It's garnished with little chunks of onion that provide a welcome crunch. You will thank me. read more

Well everybody seems to love this place, including a close friend of mine; so maybe I am wrong here. I got a carne asada Cali burrito and it was not very good at all. My side of chips and guacamole was really yummy though. Maybe I just came by on a bad night? read more

Do not miss this gem! Everything is house made from the salsa to perfectly crisp churros to a wide variety of salsas. The best, most tender pork belly I have had in a long time and refried beans with depth of flavor. Will be back and will drag everyone I know! read more

Best Mexican food around! Authentic and delicious. Such friendly employees, maybe owner I am not sure but these people are special! I recommend this restaurant! Also there horchata and aqua de melon and watermelon are so good and fresh: I will try mango next time! Oooh and flan is great too! Eat here! read more

Abuelita's Kitchen - Pupusa meal! - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Seattle that I've tried so far. Everything that we've ordered from here (either takeout or eating in the restaurant) is so incredibly good. Their cali boy burrito (ask for pork belly!) and their enchiladas are perfection. Definitely worth making a stop here, this restaurant is a Greenwood neighborhood gem! read more

Food was gross, I ended up throwing it away! They microwaved old food! The rice was at least a day old, the meat was burnt and tough and had that warmed up in the microwave taste! Don't waste your money! read more

Food is way over priced for the cheap garbage they give you complete crap carne asada I ordered well done didn't have one sear mark on it and was pink even on the outside dangerously undercooked and the rice and beans are the cheapest shit you can buy these people are the worst overpriced garbage if I was the owner I would be ashamed read more

Abuelita's Kitchen was a really amazing place to go. The customer service was amazing - super attentive, very kind. Offers suggestions about food to eat. There was a variety of different dishes. We each got something different to eat and everything looked really good. I had the chicken chile relleno. It was a little different than I expected, but the sauce was creamy and delicious. Full of flavor. We also enjoyed the caramel churro too. Would return. read more

Abuelitas is delish. Came here after phinneywood art walk and got (BIG !) chicken empanadas and mushroom empanadas. Corn tortillas fried to perfection. Did not skimp on cheese. Salsa bar is beautiful. Crema and guac with both orders, and refried beans with my kiddos tacos, yum! read more

The wife and I went here for a casual lunch date and it was fantastic! They are going through a rebrand so the inside is not finished and there is no alcohol but that didn't matter. The food was great, especially the carnitas and pork belly tacos and the self serve hot sauce and salsa was all great as well. Can't wait for the rebrand to finalize! read more

First: Abuelita's is Luna Azul, just going through a rebrand currently As a native San Diegan (and Seattle transplant), I must admit that this Mexican food is authentic, extremely delicious, and just like if you went to your Abuela's house on a Sunday with cousins running around and Tias spilling the chisme. Pros: - Salsa bar. The most variety of salsas you have ever seen (even where I grew up) including a sweet habenero that was like nothing I've ever tried before, and extremely fresh and delicious. You can even hear the blender in the back making more for guests. - fresh chips & guacamole. Amazing - Al pastor to die for. I'm a huge Al pastor & adobada fan, and this stuff is legit. - the friendliest and kindness staff, who love the restaurant and sharing food with guests. Awesome folks. What may need changing: - the price man. $19 for a 4 taco plate with rice and beans is insane, I feel like a reduction to the $12-15 range for the same dish would bring in a lot more business. It's worth the cost, but hot damn I heard my Abuela screaming when she saw that price. - Specials when they can, would love to see a $1 street taco day (Tuesday usually) that would have the restaurant selling out. Overall, 5 star service, food, decor, and people. Come here!!!! read more

We had a wonderful breakfast! If you come, don't miss the chilaquiles. There's also a choice of several breakfast burritos and you get to help yourself to any and all of an assortment of homemade salsas. The service was friendly, and we had our fresh, made to order breakfast in minutes! We'll be back. read more

We popped into abuelita's when we were in the neighborhood and needing food without a wait. Initially when we walked in, we didn't know anything about the restaurant. It was hard to tell whether there was a dining room. Boy, were we surprised! The food was absolutely delicious. We have a high bar for mexican food and this is some of the best we've had in seattle. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating as well. Highly recommend! read more

amazing customer service and incredible food! Was like I was eating homemade mexican food!

This place deserves 5 stars all around. The food was outstanding, great atmosphere/ Mexican music, the service exceeded my expectations. Very friendly servers and owner. The staff is actually family, it's a family own business. It was my first time but what a great experience! read more
