Food here is amazing, it's well done and has just the right seasoning. Prices here are super affordable which I love, service here is really good as well. Very professional for sure, location u Is next to the hospital which isn't bad at all read more

Quick and good Mexican food. Fresh tasting. Prices like the major Mexican chain. Enjoyed the Birria burrito. Plenty of food for lunch.

Pleasantly surprised by their burrito. Good selection of meats, plus veggie. Nice salsa choices. If in the neighborhood, give it a shot. Just not before a colonoscopy. read more

The tacos were serviceable, if not somewhat bland. Unfortunately, my interaction started in a less than stellar fashion when I asked the staff if I could have one taco with each meat rather than 3 chicken or beef tacos. All I got was a terse no! I watched her prepare them and the meat came out of a container next to the other meats and I'm guessing with a bit of effort her hand could have moved 2 inches in either direction and provided my variety pack of tacos. It wasn't to be. The tacos I did end up with were pretty bland even with 'medium' hot sauce. I did enjoy the soup though. Will I come back here? maybe. I'm going to have a lot of treatment at Swedish and I'll give them another try. We'll see if the three stars become four or go down to two. read more

Get a burrito or a quesadilla. they're close to us so we get them often but have had the most luck with these. definitely do not recommend the fish tilapia tacos... basically just guac and lettuce salad tacos with the Tiniest piece of fish... literally a 1 1/2" by 3 " long piece. not great otherwise the burritos and quesadillas are amazing read more

The service was very good and had a welcoming atmosphere. However I wasn't impressed with the chicken Quesadilla, and I didn't think that it was that good for how pricey the quesadilla cost. I was actually looking forward to giving this place a try and hoping that the quesadilla would be good. read more

I work in the area so I come here pretty often. If you're tired of the 3D printed breakfast from Starbucks and Amazon and you want something fresh and made in front of you, come here. The folks who work here are super friendly, the veggies always look fresh and you get a good amount of food for what you pay for, for this area. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Fresh Mexican food make daily! Good service, clean restaurant and they have the best margarita in seattle read more

An excellent little place for quick and quality Mexican food. My order is a breakfast burrito with bacon. Food pros: it's clean, quick, and flavourtown. Generous bacon serving, and plenty of salsas to choose from. I've been here a handful of times and love it every time. Food cons: can't think of any. I've only taken out from here so I can't speak to the sit down environment, but limited seating but no reservation necessary. Vibrant beach theme ambiance is nice. I recommend definitely for breakfast. Also the price is right. 4.75 for the breakfast burrito. read more

Ok, I had the steak(asada) plate with prawns. The meat was cooked to order and so were the prawns. The flavor was good. The meat was well seasoned and tender. The rice was bland typical Spanish rice nothing special but not bad. The Pico was mainly tomatoes and could have used more onions and cilantro. The guacamole was tangy just how I like it.I would go back again. read more

I use to go here often for breakfast since my school is right next door. On a certain morning I ordered the horchata and it was slimy and super gross! Scarred me for life, I don't think I'll be coming here again. read more

I had a burrito, tavo, and 8oz tortilla chicken soup. Within an four and a half, I had horrible stomach pains and vomiting. I've been here before, but not a burrito or soup, only tacos. Sorry, had to stop writing to go throw up again. I'd be real careful. read more

Way too over priced for literally the smallest burrito I've ever had. With only a taco size amount of meat if that. So pretty much a veggie burrito. So If you wanna spend 65 bucks for two for veggies burrito I totally recommend. read more

Basic chain Mexican food. Lady working had a stank attitude and you could tell she was disgusted with the food she was serving. I was too. Inauthentic. Basic and bland. Overpriced. Would not eat or recommend. read more

I've always been skeptical about mixing seafood with Mexican. Since I was right next door at Piroshki, I figured I should just try Blue Water as well. I wanted to play it safe with just an ordinary beef, pork, or chicken taco, but who does when the place specializes in coastal Mexican? My choice: calamari taco: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/8wzKmZkUCtXI0OIlqnDuvA?select=4n2nZ-d7g86qSbxmRRgJVg The calamari is grilled with onions and cilantro, served on a warm corn tortilla, and garnished with lettuce and pica de gallo (I opted for something spicier). There's a ton of juices flowing out of this taco, it was pretty hard to contain it. But I really enjoyed the flavors, the calamari, hints of cilantro, the spicy salsa, and the light sourness from the lime. For a cost of $3, it was worth it. read more

I work near this location, and I walked down today to check it out. The location is small and tucked between Bank of America and Swedish Cancer Bldg. It can be easily missed if you aren't looking for it! The cantina vibe is well-executed which distracted from how few seats were available and how cramped the restaurant is. I ordered black bean and guacamole nachos, and they were tasty. I was disappointed with the cheese on the nachos and that it was melted in the microwave, but the overall flavor and quality was perfectly acceptable. Honestly, the food was pricey for the amount and quality. $10 for black beans and chips is a bit excessive even by Seattle standards. I probably won't order something so light next time if the price is so steep. I'd rather get a veg burrito or something with a bit more substance. read more

I enjoy their breakfast burritos, but it really depends on who is making them that morning. Once I decided to get lunch their since I enjoy the burits. I received just a plate of slope for $9. I posted a pic of what it looked like. I was so pissed I about just walked away as they finished splashing it all on the plate. Instead I was starving short of time, grumbled and grudgingly paid for it. refer to pic 7 of 9, this was supposed to be a meal of some sort...FAIL! take some pride in you work, Blue Water Taco Grill. read more

Blue Water Taco Grill - WTH is this!?!? $9 for a plate of slop. Not happy! Should have not paid for this and walked out. Redic - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pretty generic and unremarkable Mexican food if I'm going to be honest. The location is nice; it's pretty close to Seattle University. They also cook their meat to order, so it's not pre-made or pre-heated or anything. Still, this might as well be a fast food restaurant. You place your order at the counter and get your food in a relatively short time. The food is all right. My biggest complaint about this place is seeing a few flies hovering over the food. Now the food is raw, so I'm worried about any bacteria on them not being killed. I haven't gotten sick from eating here, though, so I guess it's not that big of a problem. read more

We wandered in here after having sandwich overload from several days of potbelly. I decided to have the asado platter which basically was a DIY burrito platter of rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, guacamole and meat. It was delicious, but also slightly more expensive than just getting a burrito and I think just slightly more meat. There were four different kinds of salsas, but I highly recommend the smoky chipotle salsa which had a nice balance of smokiness and spice, and wasn't too hot, even for a capsaicin wimp like me. Parking in the area is a little difficult since it's right by Swedish First Hill, but if you already have an appointment in the area or are visiting someone at the hospital, I highly recommend checking out this place! It's right next to the Nordstrom Tower of the hospital. If you have more than 4 people in your party, I'd suggest doing take out as there aren't too many tables in the place, and most of them are 2 seaters. read more

It's close to work and reasonably priced. The skimpy portions of sour cream and guacamole always make me a little sad. Wholly unimpressive. read more

Tasty Lunch! The Hot Chopped Salad lunch is a great deal and the summertime outdoor table seating in March sure was a special treat. Highly recommended for a lunchtime stop if visiting the nearby hospitals or just up on First Hill in general. read more

Yummy! This place is a great no frills grab and go location. The prices are solid and so are the sandwiches. I like the breakfast torta with veggie chorizo the best read more

Had to pick up a client next door and I was an hour early, so I thought I'd pop into this place and have some lunch! Had the street tacos with ground beef with a side of rice and beans and it was delicious! There's a lot more to explore on their menu so I'm sure I'll be back! Would definitely recommend it! read more

Came in on August 15 for lunch. The one woman there was working alone and really hustling. I ordered the vegan tacos and really appreciated the woman getting clean utensils (and a clean spot on the grill) to cook up the soyrizo. I didn't even have to ask. read more

Love the burritos! They cook the meat in front of you and are always fast! They currently have sunny outside tables for eating at during quarantine. I come for lunch any chance I get! read more

This place had me so excited: well-reviewed Mexican food, so near my workplace! Sadly, it doesn't measure up. Nothing is flavorful at all. The workers could care less and add stuff that you didn't request. Your burrito is runny and makes you pine for Chipotle. I try it again roughly monthly, and I am disappointed. Your mileage may vary, as I am used to a certain style of Tex-Mex and spicy but well-balanced flavors. read more

Hits the SPOT every single time. Order the Big Fish Burrito Supreme and you will NOT, I repeat NOT satisfied. If your not, holler at me and I'll reinburse you your money. Definately one of the great places to eat lunch on madison street. I went to O'Dea highschool, and go here every so often and it just bring back good ol' times. I love this place. Their tacos are amazing, and their pica de gallo and hotsauces are on point. Tasty and Spicey...Just how I like it. BLUE WATER TACO FTW TACO DEL MAR FTL read more

Oh noes! Well, I just got crapped on by BWT. I'm the thrifty guy that orders the bean & cheese burrito for around $2.25. Well, I found out today that the price has been raised to $3.95. That's a 75% hike, folks. I used to walk 5 blocks for the former deal, but now I'll just stay in my neighborhood and buy lunch at Marination Station for $4.50. Our lunch relationship was good while it lasted. I put up with your comic sans signs and menus, but now I'm over you. read more

Best one in Seattle. My go to for lunch working a block away. Very friendly and nice staff. Delicious and fresh ingredients every time. They get busy sometimes like all places so be patient. Well worth any wait. read more

To be fair. This review is solely based on the fish tacos. They offer a lot of other dishes including taco salads, bowls, burritos, etc..but unfortunately...i chose the fish tacos. I came in for a quick lunch after my appointment only to be hugely disappointed. The display case housing the salsa and veggies looked promising. Everything seemed fresh and they did a great job of keeping the space clean and fully iced... But then the girl did the most unforgivable thing you can do to a fish taco. She nuked the breaded fish in the microwave. Right before my eyes. Sure the reb cabbage was crisp and fresh....the mild salsa was alright...and the lime tartar was pretty good. But it all comes down to the fish. And that was ruined. read more

Ordered a quesadilla, it was good but simple. No sides were included in the price. Felt it was a bit expensive for a half quesadilla.

$15.23 for a burrito that was so liquidy poured half the inside out to try and eat it. But I didn't get far in the burrito before I found a long black hair. So grossed out. Don't think I will return, they have seriously gone down hill. read more

Coming here for breakfast was definitely a "you're not in Califonia anymore" moment. The guy at the counter was really nice...but my huevos rancheros was fast food quality at best. Scrambled eggs (out of a container) rather than real eggs, and it only went downhill from there. If you can't actually make the real dish, please don't list it on the menu. This is probably the worst mexican food I've ever had at a restaurant. read more

This place is okay. I think the only thing to really get here is a burrito because everything else is made in too much of a hurry. One time I order the nachos and they were heating everything in the micro wave and it still wasn't hot. The burritos are okay good, but I would rather go somewhere else. Sometimes the meat is too chewy and not heated very good. The chips are always too salty and sometimes taste stale. It might just be this location but after the 3rd time trying it I don't even go to this place anymore. read more

This place is great for a quick meal. They make the meal right in front of you and the portion sizes are substantial. They have lots of different meat options including salmon, tilapia, prawns, and other seafood. read more

Friendly, fast and fresh! There's a reason there is always a line here people. The line cooks will modify, adding to or deleting from, your order with no 'tude. Plenty of choices in ingredients; veggie, beef, pork, chicken, prawn, calimari and now tilapia. Also with the soft drinks, I like the aqua fresca horchata or the jaimaca. They have Mexican Coca-cola too. Blue water Taco is always on the mark for me! read more

I tried this place out and it was good tacos. Everything was very fresh. I got a chicken and a chorizo street taco. The chorizo was spicy and authentic as well as the chicken was favorable. They have a large variety of Jarritos sodas as well as Mexican Cokes. The only thing that was somewhat false advertising is the name and the logo (a big shrimp) suggests that they would have a variety of seafood tacos or at least shrimp. They literally had one seafood item on the menu and that's it. read more

I perfer this place over taco del mar. The food tasted awesome, fresh and spicy. very limited parking behind. From reading the previous reviews i didnt have any troubles with the customer service, so i looked passed that. The location was in a very good area. Kinda hard to find if your driving. there burritos are awesome and filled with everything possibly. will come back in the near future Pros: location great customer service Cons: small parking lot read more

I was walking past the Swedish Hospital the other day and there is a restaurant next to its location that appears to be frequented by staff nearby. I asked a person who also ordered a dish what they would recommend and they recommended a taco bowl. It looked like she worked in this area and visited this restaurant quite often. But the taco bowl I received was completely unsatisfactory. I ordered the bowl of chicken and hardly found any chicken in the bowl. The chicken in the bowl, no more than 4 pieces, measured about 3/4 "x 1/2" x 1/8 ". I paid for the dish which existed of salsa, rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, 4 little chunks of chicken and guacamole a little less than $13.00. And now I think this dish was a rip off. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant even though the location next to the hospital seems convenient. You don't get a good lunch for your money. read more
