    I stopped by at 7 pm on a Thursday and there were quite a few people waiting for their food but within a few min I was able to order. I just got a chicken gyro. It took about 5 min for my food to come out. I opted to take the food to go because it was a beautiful day, but the restaurant itself had plenty of seating and a more cafeteria atmosphere which is great for a quick bite. The gyro was great! Meat was well cooked, juicy and flavorful, and overall great. There was also a generous portion of veggies and hummus on it, and the pita was soft and good. And the price itself was definitely Better than many other places around Seattle! I will be back, especially to try the tacos

    Was recommended this place by a friend and glad I tried it! I got a take out order and it was ready when I picked it up. The portion sizes were very generous and I had leftovers in the morning. I'm glad they added a lot of garlic sauce. The customer service was great too! Great place to eat in Caphill if you're crashing mediterranean!

    I literally come here once a week. My 3 favorite things to order are the chicken kebab plate, beef & lamb gyro, and Greek fries. Everything is always so fresh, hot, and flavorful. Clean restaurant. Open late. Never had an issue. Customer service is great too. Also, I love when they play Bachata & Reggaeton

    Great spot for a casual meal; I'm a big Mediterranean fan! The prices are super good and they have a great combo deal where you can get a shawarma sandwich, fries, and drink for $15. I ducked in to get out of a sudden downpour and would happily go back

    My bf and I visited this place twice in 1 week! It is that good! I got the gyro combo which comes with fries (I substituted for Greek fries for an extra $2.99) and a can of soda. My bf got one of the dinner plates. The meat is flavorful and they give you a lot of meat. The white sauce is tasty as well. The total for both meals was $35-40 range so it wasn't bad. Definitely one of our go to spots now.

    Cheap, plenty of options, flexible hours and the food is pretty good? What a great place to live close to for takeout and late-night eats. The greek salad was fresh, the pita toasty, the rice spiced, the gyro meat savory, and the hummus didn't taste like it was scooped from a container. Bonus points to the fresh olive oil drizzled over the hummus.

    A causal spot for lunch! The chicken gyro was way better than expected. It came with the right levels of sauce and veggie to balance things out, on soft pita. We also ordered the lamb and beef gyro plate. I actually thought the lamb and beef gyro could've been more flavorful. You kinda had to think hard to taste the flavor of it, lol. But overall I liked the meal and thought it was good value. The staff was nice and it's clean inside. As far as parking goes, it's street parking but since you're on the north end of cap hill it's not so bad.

    Yo portions go hard at this place esp for the price. Food itself was cooked well but a bit under-seasoned imo. The gyro is def helping the bulk would come back if i need 2 meals. Cute spot and parking is meh

    Had an early lunch at Al Bacha on Broadway in Seattle today. The Pride festivities were going on downtown so I had Broadway pretty much to myself. I ordered the chicken gyro sandwich combo (fries and drink). I think I just found my favorite Gyro place in Seattle. This was my first time here. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very friendly and greeted me with a smile. As some of you know I don't cook much. I figure that's why restaurants were made. The gyro was packed with perfectly cooked and seasoned chicken, very fresh cilantro, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and lettuce. The sauce was very flavorful. The fries were piping hot and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I'd go back for the fries alone! Overall a great lunch at a reasonablenable price. $21 with tax and tip. I go up to Capitol Hill every few days and will definitely be frequenting Al Bacha again.

    The location and hours of this place are what makes this place such an awesome restaurant. We came by at 11pm on a weekday in a group of around 20 and were able to order and seat ourselves and have a good time. Their menu is also very consistent with their gyro/plate options and is also expanding into Mexican food with their tacos and burritos. The portions are large and the food is good!

    Consistently the nicest people working there. Not sure if the serving sizes got smaller or if it just looks smaller in the plate vs. takeout

    Lamb/beef gyro (the meat is hiding underneath)
    Gina B.

    We were walking around Capitol Hill, then I realized hunger had suddenly hit me, hard. I frantically power walked through the blocks looking for something not too pricy, and filling. Oh hey, a window with photos of gyros and slabs of meat on rice & salad, with decent prices popped out at me at a corner across the street from a farmer's market (this was on Sunday.) Yes! We walked inside and it was a nice big open space. Nothing fancy, but I wasn't looking for that. It was nice & clean. The cashier greeted us & was friendly & patient. I got the lamb & beef plate while my husband got the gyro. The plate comes with meat, rice, salad, hummus, sauce, & a hot pita. This was all delicious. The salad was fresh! Although the meat wasn't my favorite in Seattle, it was definitely flavorful & plentiful. The hummus was a bit bland. I later doused my plate in their hot sauce because it was addicting & went so well with everything. The gyro was decent but it was covered in veggies & fell apart. It could've used a bit more meat & way more sauce. So, this seems like a good go-to lamb/beef plate for people who live in the area that don't care about ambiance. Check it out!

    Shawarma salad with lamb!
    Kevin H.

    Wow! This was a true gem found by accident on Broadway. In the sea of Capital Hill restaurants and other distractions. I took a chance on this place situated on the corner. Ordered at the counter, and the service was excellent. Within 10 minutes I had my dinner. Truly delicious shawarma salad with the sliced lamb! Had 4 Kalamata olives (watch out for the pits!) slices of fresh tomatoes and generous feta crumbles! Sumac sprinkles and voilà!

    Great Mexican restaurant located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle…read more Freshly made chips that come with a salsa roja that has a kick to it. Not bland like in other places. The ceviche was fresh and loved that they added shredded carrots for extra crunchiness. Tacos de carne were delicious, with the meat properly seasoned. Will definitely come back for more the next time we are in Seattle. Service was prompt and courteous.

    I shared the mole enchiladas and lengua en salsa verde from this Mexican place…read more Of these, the lengua en salsa verde was my favorite. The beef tongue was cooked pretty well. Although it's naturally very fatty, the flavor and juiciness was retained after cooking - so they didn't screw it up. The salsa verde was a very nice accompaniment, as it tasted light, fresh, and a good complement to the fat of the meat. The mole enchiladas were less good. The mole sauce used leaned way too heavily on a sweet flavor - having little to no nuttiness whatsoever. It didn't taste anywhere close to some of the best moles I've had. The enchilada underneath was fine - nothing special. Both dishes came with beans and rice. Both were slightly above average, but nothing to write home about. I would say the portions were well sized in terms of overall amount, but the enchiladas were quite small compared to the beans and rice. With these two dishes we ended up around 28 per person. Overall, it's average Mexican food. 6.5/10

I'm usually a fan of a smaller, curated menu because it suggests care in sourcing and execution. But for us, the execution just didn't land. Everything is served family-style, but the portion sizes didn't justify the price point. We started with the sourdough and butter spread, and it was a letdown right away. The bread was hard as a rock, and the butter--while sounding interesting--came slightly burnt and didn't feel worth $11 for two pieces. Next was the albacore tuna tostada. As someone who travels to Mexico City often, I was genuinely excited for this. But it leaned heavily on avocado, with barely any tuna to balance it out. For $25 and only two tostadas, it felt pretty stingy. The rapini quesadilla sounded promising but ended up tasting mostly like broccolini and mushrooms--nothing that really stood out or justified the dish. We finished with the 21-day dry-aged steak, which, at $59, felt like it should've been a highlight. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. It came out essentially raw, which I didn't mind in theory, but it was incredibly chewy and lacked flavor. It was difficult to cut and even harder to enjoy. The tortillas were nice, and the demi-glaze had potential, but overall it just didn't come together. Even the refried beans on the side were underwhelming--something you could easily find done better at a casual spot. On the bright side, the mezcal margarita with a tajín rim was excellent--well-balanced and probably the highlight of the night. And the service was warm and attentive, which I appreciated. But overall, for the prices and the hype, this place just didn't do it for me. Maybe we ordered wrong, but I've had much better elsewhere. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be back.

So many of our regular spots had lines out the door, which was no surprise, but we ended up getting a table here. Figured Mexican food is hard to mess up. Started with drinks- THE BEST MARGARITA I HAVE EVER HAD. It was perfectly balanced, fresh, just perfect to me. My fiance got a horchata and loved it too. They have an option where you can try ALL of their dips for $20, which I couldn't resist. It was so fun, they had like 9 different ones! I got the shrimp tacos and they were so flavorful that I almost gasped. The creamy sauce, crunchy veggie toppers, smooth avocado, and perfectly cooked shrimp...just wow. I will be dreaming about this dish for years to come. I am a pescatarian and gluten free and there were TONS of options for me. They mostly use corn for everything, not flour. The staff was gracious and kind. They seemed a little understaffed but truly made the most of it and made every table feel attended to and special, which was so lovely.

Before it seemed like Maiz Molino was focusing on elevated, unique Mexican dishes (shown in the pics in my prior review such as short rib, and other sort of "fusion" dishes, and more seafood focused, etc.) Now, the menu seems way more generic and casual like enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tamales, etc. just offered w/ different proteins. They are still focusing on maiz but just a bit more generic in the preparation and offerings. Also, they had 2 separate menus which was a bit confusing. One is a generic all day menu and then another menu had brunch and dinner on it. It was around 5:30 p.m. but they were out of a particular steak dish that we were interested in. Service was friendly. We had enchiladas, a dip sampler (for appetizer) and Tlacoyos. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out, sadly. It wasn't very busy while we were there, so hoping that they are doing ok as a business. I would love to come back if they brought back the old menu w/ things that you cannot really find elsewhere, including the great cocktail menu and desserts that were offered previously.

    This has been bookmarked for a while and the only regret I have is that I didn't get here sooner…read more This food is terrific, the vibe is hilarious, the servers are downright fantastic. Andrew (our server) introduced us to his sidekick, who was in training. Love that personal, hands on approach for a mew team member, and Sidekick did a great job in monitoring our table and replenishing water. Have to stop here and express my appreciation for Andrew and how he took the time to explain the philosophy and genuine team vibe of the restaurant. Oftentimes when a restaurant adds a flat 20% gratuity, you get the feeling this is not passed on to the servers. Not so here. He explained that it's shared among the servers, bar, and other staff, with only a bit retained by management, but even that finds its way into their wages. Terrific work environment and happy to see it. It definitely shows in the level of service. But we're here to eat. Didn't take a picture, but one of my dining companions ordered the burrito with red chili sauce and it was very good. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce. The Cantina celebrates Taco Tuesday, so I took advantage of this. You get the opportunity to try 5 different street tacos for the low price of $15. For another $4 you order it fully loaded which is a steal (guac, pickled onions, lettuce, giardano, crema, and another lovely sauce). Each of the tacos were really delicious and packed full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and the beef. Was surprised how much I liked the popcorn chicken - still juicy and not greasy in the least. Andrew treated us to a round of the hatch green chili. I was delighted because it was a dish I wanted to try. He described it perfectly: a little kick, but you can't stop eating it. He was right. A bowl of this in the winter with their cornbread (which I'm confident will be delicious) will preempt a winter cold. The sauces on the table are not to be ignored either. The green chili sauce was fruity with a little heat, the scorpion chili brings the heat, but their homemade chili oil is phenomenal. I could put this on everything. In short, the Cantina delivers. Excellent food, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun staff, and a cool vibe. I'll bet the cocktails will also be good. Definitely adding to the regular rotation!
