    Birria Quesadilla and Carnitas Taco
    Lizzy L.

    Cute, colorful, and lively eatery with friendly service! We came here for happy hour and it's a great amount of food for the price. Chips came out hot and fresh. Salsa had a nice little kick to it. The taco was alright in my opinion and the birria quesadilla I think could've had better flavor and texture - it kind of felt like I was eating a dry pulled pork sandwich rather than a robust, flavorful, and moist birria-soaked quesadilla that I was expecting. Would like to come here again to try the wet burrito and some other things

    Happy hour deals here are SUPERB! Definitely hit the Happy-Rita and don't sleep on the burrito. Staff were welcoming and even had books for my toddler to borrow during the meal. Great decor and vibes.

    Look at my photos! Oh my God, this place is so creative and cute - absolutely wonderful. I have been coming here for more than 20 years. It is so colorful and vibrant and the owners are so warm and friendly. The service is exceptional... You can tell the employees love their job here. I got the burrito enchilada style, and it was melt in your mouth. Incredible. They have the best margaritas and hats off to the Bartender. He is very talented. The guacamole is very unique and delicious! I highly recommend you get it. I highly recommend date night, friend night or celebrating a special occasion... This place is so memorable. You will never forget your time here.

    Oh my God! This is such a pretty Mexican market style place. They told me they changed their decor constantly. So better come and visit regularly. I believe is one of the best truly mexican restaurants around. They even had chiles en nogada by yhe end of summer. Their pozole is amazing, they bring it with Tostadas and cream! And their Tortilla Soup is a true Tortilla Soup with real thick soup! Tres Leches was big, and drinks were very tasty. I would suggest to ask how to pair drinks to get the best flavour out of them. Parking wasn't hard on a weekend.

    Overall we had a great time at El Camino! The staff was great and gave their recommendations and was super quick service! The restaurants ambiance is a lot of fun for a night out with the girls and the drinks were great too! The food was pretty good but definitely not the best Mexican food I've had. But I would definitely go back for a night out with friends.

    Sangria

    (3.5/5) Came in to El Camino for happy hour on a Sunday! Not too busy, we were seated fast. Wait staff were all friendly and nice! Food came out super quick. We ordered the carne asada tacos, birria plate, chips and salsa, happy hour sangria, and the happy hour margarita. Salsa and chips were ok felt like something was missing. Carne asada was also ok, pretty charred but I like that flavor. Birria plate was the best! The drinks were great and only $6. The restaurant itself was dark with fun decorations. I loved the music choices. Overall nice casual dining spot would come again.

    Love the interior and on a sunny day, it is quite nice in the back patio. Came here for drinks with friends and we all love their margaritas (esp. the spicy one: get the picante). We were kind of disappointed with the ceviche, the fish used was a bit too chewy for my taste, and it wasn't acidic enough. The onions were overpowering the taste of the seafood, so we wished they added more fish into the dish. Staff was friendly and we may come back next time to try their entrees. I don't think we'll order the ceviche again unless they update the recipe.

    I was in the area for a couple of nearby events and had time to kill a couple times, so we came to El Camino as it was around the corner. They have a couple of outdoor spaces for dining, one out front that looks like a Covid-style outdoor seating, and then they have a patio in the back that is absolutely GORGEOUS. We opted to sit out there both times. On a warm sunny fall day, it was such a vibe. Drinks are priced for Seattle, as to be expected. The cadillac margaritas are poured strong and they're delicious! We also tried their nachos which were so good. They're loaded up with lots of cheese, beans, guac, sour cream, and more. They are discounted on happy hour too, which was a solid deal. I'm not in the Fremont area often but I would definitely come back here for happy hour on the patio!

    Nachos with chicken

    Stopped here for a break during a hot day. Their patio is dog friendly and shaded. They even put up an extra umbrella so all the tables had shade! The food was decent and they give generous portions even for the happy hour food items. The margs were pretty strong pours and overall we felt positively about our pit stop here!

    Food was amazing. Service was spectacular and the mimosa tower delish. We got there at opening and had made reservations. The restaurant is decorated tastefully. They do have outside seating in the back. The only thing is parking. But it's Seattle. Parking always sucks.

    Birria burrito
    Michelle C.

    Went walking around Ballard and thought this place looked super cozy, so we stopped in on a misty Friday night. What an amazing choice. Our server was really friendly. We got a birria burrito and birria tacos. Wow. So juicy. The burrito is a honker and came wet in this deliciously spicy salsa. The tacos were still great. But with the burrito you get like double the food for only one dollar more. Only two tacos!? Decent deal for the burrito and taco. We also got house margs which were classic. The best part about this place is the dark ambience. We even got tucked away in a corner booth so it was very cozy and dark for us. Here for the burrito get the burrito.

    Carnitas Street Tacos
    Elizabeth Y.

    Taste: 4.0/5 I ordered the Grande Nachos with chicken, which came layered with cheese, beans, and pico de gallo, then topped with guacamole and sour cream. The cheese stood out as one of the best I've had on nachos--rich, flavorful, and well-melted. The Carnitas Street Tacos were also fantastic. While nothing was particularly groundbreaking, El Camino definitely lived up to its reputation. Overall, a very solid dining experience. Price: 4.0/5 I visited during happy hour (3-6 pm daily) and found the pricing very reasonable for that menu. Outside of happy hour, the prices lean toward the higher side but aren't unreasonable. The chicken add-on for the nachos was worth the cost, and the portion sizes were satisfying. Service: 4.5/5 We were seated right away, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Service was smooth and efficient with no issues to note. Vibes/Atmosphere: 3.5/5 I went on a Sunday just before 6 pm, and the place was relatively empty. While it wasn't particularly lively or atmospheric, it was still comfortable. Not much of a "vibe," but nothing negative either.

    Hostess was rude would not come back. Most of the workers are white so I wouldn't consider this an authentic "Mexican food" .

    This is a new favorite of mines. Been here 3 times so far and can't wait to get back every time…read more What I like the most about this place is the vibe of it all. It's not divey, but not hipster either which I really appreciate. They also play good classic rock in here, but switch the music to something up-tempo when it becomes evening. I feel that anyone can feel comfortable here. Ok so the food and drink. I was told that this is a whiskey bar, but I'm a tequila girl so I wasn't able to explore their whiskey library. I didn't want any of the happy hour drink options, so I just asked for a margarita and it was damn good. I had too many to admit on here. The main food attraction at Triangle Spirits is their fried chicken, which has been dubbed by some as the best in the city. You can get the chicken as a slider or sandwich, boneless skinless thighs on the happy hour menu (great deal of 10 bucks for 3 pieces and fries), or as a meal (dark or white meat with a side, or half a chicken with 2 sides). I tried the happy hour chicken basket and the dark meat meal. After trying both, I feel that the chicken on the happy hour is better than the meal. The happy hour chicken is boneless, very tender and more flavorful than their chicken on the bone. The secret mix of seasonings is more pronounced on the boneless chicken than it is with the bone in. The bone in chicken was just ok to us and didn't blow us away and it was also ridiculously expensive. I would not pay 35.00 again for what I tasted. The bone in chicken was fried well, but didn't have as much flavor as we were expecting. Also, the mac and cheese was the most disappointing. I suggest skipping that as it's obvious that the cheese is some kind or processed concoction from a box. This is still an awesome bar in Fremont. Stop in for a good time and atmosphere.

    I've only been here two times and they were both for Happy Hour…read more The Happy Hour prices for drinks are pretty darn good. My go-to HH cocktail here is the Vieux Carré, but I like herbal sweet & bitter, so it's right up my alley. Currently there are five HH cocktail options and they are $7... hard to find in Seattle! I've also had the rainier & rye for $9- the rye is great, forgot to ask what kind it is. I've had a few other HH drinks, which were alright, but these stand out the most. As for food, I've only tried the spicy Seattle dog, and I would get it again. The hot dog is cut up & shaped weird (see photo), but it tastes wonderful. I heard the fried chicken is great so I'll try that next time. Also, I was excited to see that they had buckeyes on the menu, but they didn't have any when we visited. Inside is spacious and woodsy, & outside there is an enjoyable patio. Servers are nice and seem happy to be there, which always elevates my experience anywhere. I definitely recommend coming to Triangle Spirits for Happy Hour (available daily 3-5pm, dine-in only).

    Decided to stop by this place in search of quality Thai food and a nice ambiance and it did not…read moredisappoint! My friend and I walked in at 9:20 (~40 mins before closing) and got a seat at the bar. They have happy hour from 9pm-close so we ordered the curry from the happy hour menu ($10), kra pao with an egg (~$20), and drinks (lychee martini $9, Thai-Tini $9). Such a great deal!! My favorite thing had to be the yellow curry, it was so creamy and had a nice kick. The kra pao was also very good, we picked spice 2 which was pretty hot but manageable. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, we got pretty lucky to get a walk in spot but the place was totally filled. A nice place for an upscale meal with a friend or a date!

    Stopped by during my short visit to Seattle to catch up with a friend. She recommended we try out…read moreKin Len, her local favorite Thai spot. I am so glad she did. Vibe - When I walked in, it felt like I was in a nighttime district on the streets of Thailand, eating and drinking whatever they had available. The vibe was that of a dark ambiance, with neon lights shining throughout the restaurant. Hospitality - The front-of-house staff was well-mannered and courteous, and they seated us quickly on a Monday night at 8:00 PM. It was a relatively busy night. However, we ordered fairly quickly, and the food came out within 10 to 15 minutes. Food - Food-wise, we ordered the Fried Papaya, Crispy Fried Rice, Khao Soi, Tom Yum, and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. Gosh, I have to say, I was blown away by the flavors and the portion sizes! Typically, four dishes can serve three people, but I felt like these could have served five. The fried papaya salad was lightly battered with a typical papaya salad dipping sauce featuring a base of fish sauce, green beans, tomatoes, and chilies. It was good. The crispy fried rice was served with lettuce wraps, and OMG, I kid you not when I tell you this is some of the crispiest rice I've ever had. It's hard to find, but when you do, you can't wait to take another bite. I thought the khao soi overall was not bad. I enjoyed that they put the fried noodles on top so that you can mix them into the curry when it's brought out. Lastly, the pork belly was well-cooked with a crispy, crunchy exterior, and served with delicious Thai-flavored fried rice! Drinks - We ordered the Thai lemon iced tea and the Thai tea cremosa. Both tasted good. Overall, I was very satisfied with this place, and if I lived here, I could see myself grabbing some late-night bites with the homies.
