Chicken nachos
Kjerstin R.

My friends and I tried this place because it was one of the restaurants participating in Plate of Nations. We came in and the restaurant was pretty empty - which was a bummer because the food was delicious and the space inside was so pretty and bright. We shared the chicken nachos and an array of tacos, steak and Al pastor. The food was delicious! I got a margarita and that was also tasty. I'd recommend trying this place out and we look forward to coming back again.

Chicken mole enchiladas
Timothy L.

Decent Mexican restaurant in Beacon Hill. I never went to their old location so I did not know what to expect. I tried the chicken mole enchiladas and it was pretty good! The vibe inside was fun which I very much enjoyed and the service was good. It's also a prime location being right next to the light rail!

Fish tacos w. Flour tortillas
Adriana J.

Reviewing for: After work snacks Super excited to see the new space they redesigned (with the support of La Union!) and grab some after work snacks on a friday. Location: easy to get to and accessible via light rail- there's street parking as well but it's become more limited with restaurants open so go early to find a spot on the street. Food: My friend and I ordered the fish tacos and the rockfish ceviche. The ceviche was my favorite of the two and would definitely have it again. We weren't drinking but they did have drink specials- $ off wells and beers. Space + Service: Loved that they had two spaces that joined together- there's a bar 21+ and then a restaurant area where the restrooms are located. Although we weren't drinking, we opted for bar to avoid kids. Plenty of seating and can't wait to be back for their drag performances on Fridays! Bathrooms were superb- two gender neutral bathrooms and perfect for bathroom photos. Service was great- bartender was patient as we chose and we hung around well after we finished our food. Overall: This place feels like a community restaurant/locals spot. It was nice to see owners and locals convene for a few shots after work and can't wait to be back! Great job, baja!

Big delish Bloody Mary and giant breakfast burrito, salsa and crema
Jeremy W.

Great food, great prices, great drinks, great people, great location. I've been coming here for many years, bit first time in the new location. It's very light and colorful, lots of cool art and fun music. I came on a Saturday for brunch, got the breakfast burrito $12 and a bloody Mary $13. The burrito was big and delicious. Same with the Bloody Mary. Good for kids and for adults. There's a bar section and a family dining section. Very inviting ambiance. Gotta go, peace out and party on my fellow Yelpians. Be good and always tip your people. Love hugs and good times for all.

Ceviche
Bella L.

We just moved into the neighborhood and wanted a spot for taco Tuesday! We were happy to come across this spot as the food and drinks were so good. We also got 2 margarita and they were strong! The server was really fast to make sure we made the happy hour cut off and food arrived extremely fast! We would 100% come back!

While I was simply checking to see whether I had misplaced it earlier, the bartender (Neil "Erin"} told me, "Calm down, relax and have fun." I was already calm, and the comment felt unnecessary, condescending and defamatory. People behind me heard it, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. When it came time to pay, I didn't immediately see the POS terminal and handed my card to the bartender. He (Neil "Erin") turned the screen toward me, showing tip options starting at 20%. I asked for my card back, but instead of returning it, Neil "Erin" pointed below the POS. My card was hidden behind Halloween decorations, so I couldn't see it. If Neil "Erin" expected me to insert my card myself, he should have handed it back to me instead of placing it out of sight.

If Neil "Erin" expected me to insert my card myself, Neil "Erin" should have handed it back to me instead of placing it out of sight. I had never met this bartender before, so the personal tone of his remarks felt out of place. I've worked in retail and hospitality, and I would never speak to a customer that way. The whole interaction left me feeling disrespected, and it overshadowed what should have been a simple visit for a drink.   I believe this was a continuation of Gaslighting, harassment and racism I have experienced in Seattle's Gay Community for over 20 years. Abuse by Proxy. I am a NAACP Life Member.

I stopped by Cuff Complex around 10 PM on a weekend, and it definitely lives up to its reputation…read moreas one of Capitol Hill's signature gay bars. The vibe is dark, loud, and packed--lots of energy, fog machines running nonstop, and music blasting. As someone who isn't much of a bar person, I'll admit it felt a little intimidating at first, but once I settled in, I managed to enjoy the atmosphere. The crowd was lively but not messy, which I appreciated since I've heard nights here can get wild. Drinks are fairly priced for the area--not cheap, but not unreasonable either. What did disappoint me, though, was the service at the bar. The bartenders came off rushed and pretty rude. I get that it was peak weekend hours and the place was slammed, but a little friendliness or a welcoming tone would go a long way. Overall, if you're into the party scene, this is the spot for you: dark, sweaty, and high-energy. If you're not, just know what you're walking into. I had fun, but the service kept it from being a 5-star night.

Also the place used to be packed in all three serving areas, It's suuuuuuuper dead these days. Nothing's weirder than than a huge bar with a bunch of naked guys on the wall and like 3 people in it in an event night.

That cold turkey sandwich with an added avacado is where it's at but if you want a something warm we also got the hangar club and holy cow.. that first bite had me coming back for more, I literally was drooling. Mimosas are a perfect ratio and bubbles were fresh and you can tell. The pear salad was such a nice well balanced crunch to have as well. Oh! & they have all sorts of hot sauces that you never see anywhere. They sell some of them there too if you find one you like! Overall standing ovation , huge bravo for keeping Seattle how we love our city.

I think there were less than 15 tables so it seemed strange that it would take that long but decided to try it anyway. The setting for this cafe is pretty nice so we were anticipating an equally good experience with service and food. The food took 1 hour and 20 minutes from when we places our order to when it arrived.. the server was very nice and offered free drinks but at that point we wanted to just have our meal and leave. It was even more disappointing when we tasted the food and found it mediocre. The crepe we ordered was undercooked on the inside. We probably could have gone grocery shopping and whipped this up for less time and money. The prices are pretty high considering that they're serving breakfast food. We really wanted to like this place :(
