This has been bookmarked for a while and the only regret I have is that I didn't get here sooner. 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! read more

Had a very good meal at Hatch Cantina on their discounted Taco Tuesday special. For my first meal here I ended up getting two each of the El Pastor and beef taco's that were authentic Mexican style street taco's that were $3.50 each I believe. The El Pastor was just so so for my taste where the marinated pork was a tad bland and I was not a fan of the Cauliflower tortilla's. The Beef taco's one the other hand were exceptional and full of flavor. Of note, the house made salsa's on the table were very very good and added a lot to these taco's. Aside from the food, I also got their Happy Hour Priced Traditional Lime Margarita at $12.50. This was a well made Blanco based Margarita with a house made 5 salt medley rim that was unique and quite good in its own right. Relative to staff and the facility and contrary to some of the reviews I saw on line, I had no issue with getting seated and staff on this day was very pleasant and friendly. The facility itself is clean and bright with nicely stocked bar in the center of the restaurant providing a nice visual while you enjoy your meal. Overall a very nice dining experience where I will be returning in the future to get some more of those beef taco's. read more

Hatch Cantina has the bones of a good spot. Food was good, ambience was good, and the space actually looks great. Then the service came in and stepped on the whole thing. The restaurant was basically empty and they still tried to sit us by the door. Why? If you have the nice sections open, use them for the people who bothered to show up. Our server barely knew the menu, put the order into Toast wrong, disappeared after taking it, never checked back, and never came around to close us out. Then somehow a table for two ended up being charged for three dishes. I only caught that mistake myself after I had already paid, that's when I also discovered there was an auto-gratuity too. Nobody mentioned it. Ever. The whole experience had that very specific auto-gratuity energy: "tip secured, mission accomplished." Good food deserves better service than this. Auto-gratuity is supposed to protect staff, not turn hospitality into a self-checkout lane with cocktails. read more

The came from the Bay Area and wanted to try this place out. So we stopped one night for dinner. Service was terrible, we sat down and waited for 20min and had to ask for someone to take our order. While thr bartender and food servers were all just standing around giggling and mocking folks inside. We tried to.get their attention and nothing. Finally we got a gentleman's attention walking by, and he told us to give him a minuet, as if we inconvenienced him!!! We thought, "Are these people serious!". But he came back and we order. Long story short. The food was mediocre and not worth the price. Plus they added. 20% because our party was of 7 people, in which 3 were kids. SKIP THIS PLACE! Do yourself a favor. read more

We stopped for a late lunch and a drink. We were seated and looking over the menu right away. The service was great and friendly. The menu is southwest and really interesting. Husband had the green chili burger and I had the popcorn chicken tacos with a jicama slaw. The food was delicious love the jicama slaw especially. The location was perfect around the corner from our hotel. I really enjoyed the vibes. Casual but hip too. read more

I was traveling in Seattle and had a taste for Mexican food and this beautiful quaint upscale restaurant was having happy hour! The menu was inviting and the happy hour prices were making me do a happy dance. I tried a little of everything their ribs were succulent and seasoned well, the popcorn chicken was juicy and had a perfectly fried seasoned crispy crust. I would give them both an 8 out of 10. Their queso fondito was disappointing not much flavor I would not recommend ordering it. The star of the show were their Happy Hour Tacos!!! I had the steak tacos and they were everything you want in a taco. A perfect bite, juicy, flavorful, and tender. They also provided three different types of sauces that elevated the taco to another level. Hands down the taco is a 10 out of 10!!! Service was great and if I was in the area again I would definitely return specifically for their tacos and to try one of their cocktails from the bar. read more

We have been here several times and continue to come back! We are from New Mexico and this places brings all the flavors and eats of what we miss! The Green Chile Stew is to die for!

I went here on invitation of their holiday event which featured free food (taco bar) with drinks for purchase. This review lightly touches on the free food (not part of the rating) while emphasizing on the drinks which I purchased. As for the food, they had carnitas, rice, beans, enchiladas, fries, chips, salsa, and a variety of baked goods which are pretty good but definitely not at the level of true restaurant quality food as they pump out a large quantity of food to serve the crowd. The drinks we got were the Hot and Bothered Margarita and the Coquito. The margarita felt a bit watered down but still had the alcohol strength, with a very faint spicy kick. The tajin rim was extremely salty. I would skip this one. However, the Coquito was very good - sweet and creamy, and they said they had no eggnog in it but it tasted very much like eggnog! Service was good as it is as if there's dine in service during the event, but the cocktails are not all good, but the ones that are good definitely shine read more

Caught Hatch for HH and it was really pleasant! We came here on Sunday at like 5 and it was pretty quiet - to be expected. We were freaking ravenous and needed a drink however and their happy hour didn't disappoint. We got the birria, 3 tacos, popcorn chicken, Crunchwrap, and two prickly pear margs. It was solid HH food- not extremely mindblowing but very satisfying! In the end the total came out to 80 bucks (22% gratuity is automatically added). I was't blown away by the value but we had a great time and our server was spectacular! I would venture again for HH! read more

We stopped in here for a midafternoon meal and grateful for the timing and a nearly empty venue to relax a bit, but then disappointed by the volume of the music and extremely loud banging emanating from the kitchen area, apparently due to food prep? My tostada (Colorado option from the happy hour menu) was delicious and flavorful. Waitstaff was fantastic and helpful. Venue is lovely. Price is as expected. Location is easily accessible. Seating was comfortable for some in our party, depending on whether seated in a chair or on the bench side of the table for 6 and thus requiring scooting to the middle spot. We saw some longer tables for 8 to 10 diners with looooooong bench seating on one side, which would impact my beverage order, if you know what I mean? Haha read more

Great Vibes, came in a Saturday night, wasn't too busy, but the service was amazing, from the host to our server to the live musician, vibes were HIGH. They have an exclusive post 9pm CRUNCHWRAP, didn't try it, but got some solid drinks and brews. Cool little spot! read more

Food was great, but the service wasn't. I'm not a fan of restaurants that automatically add gratuity it often feels like the effort drops, and unfortunately that was the case for us. Our server Samantha seemed disengaged, and the experience didn't match the quality of the food. It was not even a busy night, their were maybe 5 other tables in the restaurant. It was really offputting. The watermelon marg was to die for. No Notes The queso was odd, it was kind of a whipped gritty texture, not your normal queso The Christmas style burrito was good! For the price and the auto grat, I am not sure if I would be back considering our experience. read more

Came for brunch on a Saturday and there was no wait at all! The food was served pretty fast too, and the servers were cool. Everything came with a really large portion of food and we took home leftovers for each of our items. The black coffee was also pretty good. Not sure if it's bottomless though, as I didn't ask for a refill. They only serve the brunch menu on the weekends (until 3pm I believe). 1) Chips and salsa 5/5: Loved the flavor of the salsa, definitely had a kick to it. Loved how crunchy the chips were! 2) Chicken and corncakes 2.5/5: Really interesting take on chicken and waffles. I was craving something sweet and savory so this was the perfect item for that. The corncakes had a texture that resembled a fusion of cornbread and pancakes. There was a slight acidic flavor to it that I didn't really enjoy, not sure if it was from the chiles. The popcorn chicken was totally bland and flavorless, so you definitely need to dip it in salsa or ketchup. 3) Breakfast burrito with green salsa 3/5: Tasty fillings, but the salsa smothered on top was sort of congealed and thick... Overall, I found Hatch to be a great weekend brunch spot, especially for large groups. You can make reservations and it wasn't too busy to begin with. The bottomless mimosa deal of $35/person is not bad either. The food wasn't amazing, but guess that doesn't matter if you're focusing on the bottomless mimosas! read more

Close to our hotel so we thought we would grab a quick bite to eat and lucked into this stellar place with some of the best Mexican we have had in quite a while, being from the East Coast. Our server Alex, was pleasant and made some great suggestions. We enjoyed the hatch chile tacos but all of the meals that were served at the tables around us looked amazing. The fresh quac was delicious read more

I do not recommend this place at all. My husband and I walked 15 minutes from our hotel to go to this place because it had good reviews and the food sounded yummy. We walk in and the hostess didn't even smile at us and seem annoyed we were even there. She asked how many and we said 2 and she said we had to wait a bit so they could clean off a table. So we waited a few minutes and then she took us back to a table. Again, no manners or hospitality and just said here's your table your serve will be with you shortly. We sit there for 5 minutes before anyone acknowledges us. Out serve finally comes up and asks if we'd like anything else to drink and we said no and asked if we could have a more minutes with the menu. 15-20 minutes go by and our server walks past our table multiple times not acknowledging us or taking our order. So, at those points we're hungry and tired so we decide to just get up and leave. Extremely disappointed in the lack of service, professionalism and hospitality here. Do not recommend this place at all. read more

The food was amazing especially the Hatch brown tacos. It's fried potatoes and mild hatch chilis sitting on a cheesy sauce and topped with corn. The beans and rice were above average, and the watermelon salad had a bright freshness to it, especially where topped with cheese. The servers were helpful and kind. My only complaint was it was challenging for a short person like me to eat food at the bar due to the thick pad around the edge of the bar, I had to lean forward awkwardly and spilled a lot. I'd suggest choosing a table if you are planning to get food. read more

Pretty great place! Clean, spacious, and excellent service. Love how they have a variety of entrees and accommodating to those with dietary restrictions. Made advance reservations for a group of 8 and they were able to seat us together. They do add a 20% surcharge inclusive of tips. They have awesome happy hour deals but sadly nothing specific for Thursday or Friday :( Their menu items were unique and delicious! -Mango Mama Mocktail ($11) Spiced Honey, Mango, and Love. It's some down home sweet heat 4/5 - spicy and not too sweet! (Substituted the base for a sparkling water rather than the mango puree) -Chips and Dips (V, GF, SP+) ($5 + $7 guac) Fresh corn chips and tomato salsa with guac 5/5 - Yummy! Came with hot queso. -Crab Flautas ($19.75) Blue Crab, corn salsa, tomatoes and green goddess dressing with three cheese flautas 4/5 - really unique! Zingy, sour, and a cheesy filling. A bit too sour maybe so try to opt for the lemon or zest on the side. Would come back to try their quesadillas, burritos, and tacos!! read more

So this place probably would've been cool if they actually cared about their jobs here. Nice to always be lined up to go inside after your reservation time and at the leisure of the staff...

We'd come in fairly late on a whim, having been at a couple of other bars in Belltown. We happened to get there just in time for their late night Happy Hour (starts at 9). We ordered the Chips and Salsa with Guacamole and their Queso Fondito and a bunch of chips, plus two drinks (since we'd be drinking ciders, we ordered ciders). The food was decent, but not stellar. I've had better guacamole. But we were hungry and polished it all off! The staff was exceptional. We were seated with a smile and tended two the whole time. There was a lot of good-natured ribbing between our server and us, which really added to the pleasantness of the night. They had a one-person band playing that night, and he was amazing. He could imitate just about anyone. We asked him to sing Alanis Morisette, and he sang "You Oughta Know" without missing a beat. And OMG, it was perfect! And just about everything else we'd ask for, he'd start playing the chords, then start filling in the song. Amazing musician. Really made the night. Will we be back to Hatch? You oughta know! read more

Other dishes I saw folks having looked great. This will be a regular place for me when I'm going to a show in the area read more

2 people, bill 99$ no problem; 20% gratuity already added to the bill plus a 13$ tax that came from the added gratuity?! Thank you to the waitresses, bartenders & chefs for doing an amazing job but to the business; adding THAT much gratuity for a party of 2 should not be standard. that's just high way robbery. read more

Food and presentation is meh. The neighborhood is absolutely dreadful, and they tack on an automatic 20% "service charge" with or without good service giving you no choice to decide whether or not the service warrants the charge. I own an e-commerce company, just like Amazon, and could you imagine your Amazon order having a 20% "service charge" to help offset labor costs. This is becoming a trend and I'm avoiding eateries that do this. read more

MARY WAS GREAT! We came for a friends birthday and had a big table and she took great care of us.

Would do 0 if possible. Service was terrible and 20% gratuity was guaranteed. We wait 20 mins to get food, and another 20 minutes just to get the check after asking for it. When asked if we can split the check, just asked, they told don't you have Venmo. We replied it would be easier to split, and they replied it would be easier for us not to split.
