So so so good. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE CLAMS! The broth is to die for. Tacos are delightful and the margs seal the deal. Delicious homemade hot sauces as well. read more

Hatch Cantina - Crunchy Tacos - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My husband, my 8-year-old, and I were visiting Seattle and staying nearby. We stopped in for drinks, and Kacie was wonderful enough to seat us early. We enjoyed it so much that we made reservations to return for dinner that evening. The food was excellent, the drinks were great, and both Kacie and Samantha provided outstanding service. Unfortunately, what should have been a great dining experience ended very poorly because of how management handled a disruptive group of guests. We were seated next to a large party that was frequently standing between our table, another table, and the TV showing the World Cup. Another table politely asked if they could sit down or move slightly so they could see the game, and the group was happy to accommodate. We made the same polite request once, and they were equally gracious. We understood they were gathering to mourn someone, and we were respectful of that throughout the evening. About an hour later, another nearby table made the exact same request. This time, two members of the group became aggressive, repeatedly shouting, "This isn't a f---ing watch party," and "Shut the f--- up." over and over again, countless times. One even challenged another guest to "go outside" to fight. All of this happened in front of our 8-year-old. When my husband simply asked them not to use that language around our child, one person responded, "Keep your f---ing kid at home." The restaurant has a kids' menu and provides coloring activities, clearly they're ok with my kid being there. The most disappointing part was management's response. A man who identified himself as an owner chose to move our table--and the other table that had also been targeted--instead of addressing the guests who were yelling, threatening other customers, and creating the disturbance. We were less than 20 minutes from finishing our meal, making the decision even more frustrating. When I asked what he planned to do about the disruptive guests, he told me he needed to move us first and would deal with them afterward. He never did. It was clear they were regulars, and they were allowed to continue their behavior without consequence. While he did comp our dessert and brought our daughter ice cream, that didn't make up for allowing multiple tables to be verbally harassed. We were understanding and compassionate toward a group that was grieving. We asked only once, politely, if they could move so we could see the game, and they had no issue with the request. What is unacceptable is management choosing to inconvenience respectful customers instead of addressing the people who were yelling obscenities, threatening other guests. So sure I recommend the food and the wait stress service, but I don't recommend going if you're not ok with being yelled at by lunatics. read more

This was a great Mexican restaurant. I wasn't a huge fan of the queso but the homemade chips and salsa were to die for the seasoning was killer. You could order the quesadilla with any type of chicken they had and the popcorn chicken was amazing in the quesadilla. Portions were hugeee. Service was amazing and food came out In 15 minutes. It was a very cute restaurant inside as well if I lived here this would be a spot I would go to a lot. 100/10 read more

Loved loved loved this spot! The service was exceptional and everything was delicious. We ate in the dining area which was so cute but the bar looked like a vibe too. The even gave us a water bowl and treat for our dog which was so sweet. We will definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Tried this place since we were staying nearby. It was a weekend afternoon so they were serving brunch. Man it was good, they sneak hatch chilies in everywhere they can so they live up to their name. I had the breakfast burrito red and green and both were great (but I am partial to green) so they have you covered if you really prefer one over the other. My wife had the Americana breakfast with their hatch sausage and hatch browns. That sausage is house made and SO good. All the chilies have some heat but it's not blow your head off hot, just good medium heat, with great flavor. Not just heat for these sake of heat. If you're in Belltown you gotta try Hatch Cantina! read more

I have been here twice - Great vibes and I hate giving a less-than-stellar review when an owner is so clearly passionate about his business but I found the food falling really flat flavor-wise, Especially for the prices. My BF loved the Queso ($15.75), which was salty, cheesy, and thick. He also had a few blood orange margaritas that he very much enjoyed. The Beef Colorado Burrito ($20) - if a burrito is $20, I am expecting an anomaly. Unfortunately it was mostly rice, and I found the beef to have no flavor. If you prefer leaner meat with less spices (like my BF), you will like :) The staff is super nice. read more

One of the only places open past 10 pm in Seattle on a Friday night (strange I know) but surprisingly really nice. The music was a bit loud but the staff was extremely nice and the food exactly what I was hoping for. My partner and I got the cauliflower pineapple tacos and the hatch potato tacos. Both really good the cauliflower had a great kick and they both came with really tasty rice and beans. The guacamole was also fantastic. Will be going back. read more

This was a great find in the local neighborhood we were staying in on a visit to Seattle. We went on Taco Tuesday, and enjoyed some of the street tacos, and one of the wet burritos. Service was quick and friendly and food was delicious. We will come back on our next visit. read more

Food was delicious, ordered the queso and the pollo asado burrito. Great portions for the price, and came out quickly and fresh. Drinks were not only fun and creative, but strong and delicious! The London fog martini is creamy and delicious, and the blue curaçao margarita is strong and sweet. You can tell the hatch chilis are freshly roasted, highly recommend if you're in the area and want some good Mexican food! read more

Love this place! Their happy hour is excellent with tons of food and drinks on it. They have excellent queso and birria tacos. Never had a bad meal here and I've tried most of the menu. Their brunch is great too. Great selection of margaritas and you can't go wrong with any of them. Highly recommend if you're looking for a bite to eat in Belltown. They have live music on Saturday nights adding to the ambiance. I usually sit at the bar so service is always speedy. read more

TDLR: It was OK, food was OK, drinks were OK, Vibe was OK Recently moved to Seattle and wanted to grab a bite close by. We got the ribs, queso, Brussels sprouts, we also got the chicken plate and a few drinks. Food was tasty but nothing like wow. Same with the drinks. Weird that gratuity is pre-added to the check. Service was okay, we had to wave down the waitress couple times but they were nice and quick to help. As a Mexican, this is not authentic Mexican food but I see the inspiration. Would I go out of my way to come here again? No. If was in the area, would I stop by? No. If I was meeting up with a friend in the area, would I suggest this place? No. If a group of friends all wanted to go there for dinner and drinks would I go? I guess but I would probably throw out other suggestions too. read more

We came to this restaurant based upon their reviews. We were impressed with their margaritas and dinner entree's. The ambience had a great upbeat and positive atmosphere. Our waiter was fantastic , knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions.

Stopped by for brunch the other day and it did not disappoint! To start, the space is large, brightly lit, and has plenty of seating, even for large groups. The service was spot on and the food came out quickly. For food, we tried the 4 Corners Benedict and the Huevos Rancheros. The Benedict was fantastic with corn cakes smothered in a red chili hollandaise, topped with 2 sunny side up eggs, and served with a side of hatch browns. The hatch browns were packed full of flavor and were a crispy delight. For the Huevos Rancheros, it was hands down the best I've had. The crispy tostadas never got soggy through the whole meal and the pork was flavorful and fell apart. The green chili sauce perfected the dish, leaving me wanting more. Now for the drinks, the Bloody Caesar and Cadillac Margarita were my favorites. However, there wasn't a bad choice. Overall, this is a fantastic Southwestern restaurant in Belltown. They have specials everyday of the week and can't wait to checkout Taco Tuesday! Definitely will be back for brunch again and will have to try the bottomless mimosas. read more

Came here for lunch this week and was blown away! First off for what looks like a smaller place on a downtown Seattle street corner, the place is very good sized and has a large bar as well. First thing I noticed is how clean this place is and very bright with good decor. The bartender was also our server at our table, who was very friendly and efficient. And quite frankly, I have eaten chicken burritos is many different places in this world. This was one of the best I ever had. It came with a red and a green sauce (based on how I ordered it) and each had a very unique flavor, one quite a bit spicier than the other. And the price for burritos and a couple drinks was just fine. Really enjoyed my experience and will be back soon. read more

Service is amazing and the veggie choices are delicious! And the live music is an extra treat!

Being a literal Native from New Mexico and growing up with these dishes; this place provided an amazing welcome home away from home.

Hatch Cantina is one of Belltown's best. We stopped in on a packed afternoon and the staff were still attentive, calm, and on top of everything -- it never felt chaotic. The food is consistently excellent -- flavorful, well-prepared, and always hits the mark. The owner has also been a steady, positive presence in the neighborhood through the ups and downs Belltown has faced since COVID. We're lucky to have them here. Highly recommend. read more

**Review Based on Happy Hour Only** A friend recommended this place, so we decided to check it out for happy hour. Unfortunately, I found the food menu quite disappointing; there wasn't much that appealed to me. For a Mexican restaurant, I would expect to see tacos (not hard shell) or quesadillas on the menu. The margaritas were just okay, and the chips tasted like they came from a grocery store. The salsa was way too salty for my taste. Overall, it wasn't the experience I was hoping for. I'd also like to mention the pricing. For me, $4 chips and $10 drinks don't quite feel like happy hour value. It's a bit steep compared to what I'd expect during happy hour. read more

If this joint gets a bad review, it's a vengeful lie. We've been working our way through Chef Phil Crowders varied and authentic menu yet I must agree with other reviews...the HATCH BROWNS are SO DELICIOUS! Furthermore, Owner Jason Morganstern has been a stalwart and positive force for Belltown, right when and where we need it. Additionally, the front of the house staff conducts themselves with a swift and graceful professionalism. Do NOT get me started about the Prickly Pear Margaritas! read more

the food was so so good! table next to us was gluten free and they went out of their way to ensure they felt comfortable and educated on the gf menu. server nikki and the host were so sweet. highly recommend rockfish tacos read more

very good food. i had chicken quesadilla and my other party member had a breakfast burrito. the chicken was good quality, and my friend though the breakfast burrito was high quality too. service was good even though our server was also serving a 10-top and other tables. salsa was especially good. inside was cute. read more

We chose this place because of its vegan options. The farther away from Southern California the worse the Mexican food gets. Hatch Cantina came through. We were more then satisfied with the food, but were more impressed with service. From the hostess to the Manager, we felt really welcomed and looked after. read more

Amazing! I met friends her for dinner. Monday is all day happy hour!! I had the strawberry margarita which was amazing! Chips, salsa and guacamole were all delicious. My SW salad with carne asada was crave-worthy. I will absolutely be back!! read more

I like Hatch but had a negative experience at happy hour. Meet a couple folks for a couple drinks and bites and closed up our tab. I thought the total was off but wasn't given an itemized receipt. I realized after receiving the text version that we'd been charged a "large party service fee" of 20%. Unfortunately it's not stated on the happy hour menu so we didn't know it existed. We'd tipped the server cash and gone on our way. I think it should be made clear that this fee exists even in the bar. The queso fundido was not as good as previously but folks loved their margaritas. If Hatch can resolve this problem we'd give it another try. read more

I'm a lover of tacos. Hole in the walls in Burien. Taco trucks near home improvement stores. And I'd put this right up there. One it's a gorgeous space. Super thoughtful design. Surprisingly excellent value for the location. And then just look at the presentation of tacos. If you're hungry try the chili cheese fries. Gooey and hatch deliciousness. Everything was fresh, hot, and memorable. Chef Phill even came out and showed us some fancy super top shelf tequila! read more

Corner restaurant offers the hip, laid back ambiance with southwest fresh flair! It was a nice break from the Seattle scene of breweries & seafood.

We went on a Saturday evening and the hostess and our server were very friendly. I was excited to try the hatch chiles and the sauces here, but I was really underwhelmed by the chile relleno. It was very deep fried to the point you could hardly tell it was a pepper. I chose the green sauce because the server told me it was slightly more spicy, but there was not much sauce on the dish and it had very little flavor. The warm cheese dominated the dish. My wife had the SW Salad which we thought could have been improved with maybe some avocado. It was just a bit plain. On the upside, I did enjoy the tamarind margarita and the live music. We'll try again sometime. read more

OMG! Must try!!! If you're a margarita fan (and this one drink buzz girl is) then run, don't walk, to happy hour and grab one. They pack a pretty powerful punch and are delicious. I like margaritas on the less sweet side - I was told these are pre-made in the morning - and this one did not disappoint. Not overly sweet, but definately overly delicious. Hubs is from New Mexico, so this is a welcome addition in our happy hour rotation. We had chips and salsa (duh!) and devoured them. We chatted with the owner, and upon hearing hubs was from New Mexico and likes really spicy food, he brought us out a taste of the green chile stew. Very flavorful and delicious. It was a bit spicy for me, but hubs thought it was amazing. We shared the Chicken Enchiladas "Christmas". IYKYK. A highlight to our dinner was the side of rice and beans. The beans had such great flavor and the owner recommended we put the mild chili sauce on them. I could probably eat just the beans next time. We didn't even order sopapillas.....largely due to the 2nd margarita, but we plan to come back. Sopapillas are high on our list!! Please go and support this restaurant - I want it to stay around for eternity!! read more

I'm surprised by how highly rated the reviews are but perhaps my experience was an anomaly. I went during lunch time and they were understaffed. One person was working so they rarely came by to check on us, get our orders, bring what we ordered, etc. Another person eventually started working but they also were not in tune. The food was not good, but maybe it's just what I ordered. I haven't had New Mexico style food so perhaps that's what it was but the quesadilla was drenched in grease and had cinnamon or something crusted over the top. The color looked like I ordered a pancake or a crepe. My friends didn't enjoy their food either. It definitely wasn't traditional Mexican food and I don't know if it aligns with New Mexican food either. I hope your experience is better than mine if you decide to try it. read more

The fact the place and owner are dog friendly automatically brings this place to a 3/5. The food, drinks service and atmosphere addres the remaining 2 stars. Come early for happy hour specials and don't forget to bring your best friend! read more

This review is solely for happy hour, which was great! They have $10.50 margaritas that were good! The flavors they had were prickly pear and blood orange, and they had a few other flavors like mango and maybe guava (can't quite remember) for an extra dollar. I don't drink a ton anymore so maybe my tolerance is super low now, but I felt like the margaritas were pretty strong! I did prickly pear and blood orange, and I liked the blood orange better but both were good! the blood orange just had a bit more of a tangy, sour taste. We also got the chips and salsa which weren't anything special but they were good to snack on while having our drinks! read more

Monthly lunch meetup with Carol, a fellow Yelper/IGer at Hatch Cantina in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood on 4/8/23. A bit of a challenge with heavy rain, circling for expensive street parking, and hoping to not be a random crime victim. Thankfully, not - but the next day there was a shooting incident near 3rd/Bell. Pro tip - just be aware of your surroundings. Nice interior with lots of natural light. Attentive and welcoming server. Seated and provided with water and noticed trio of house salsas on the four top. Menu via QR Code. Ordered and received our selections shortly thereafter. We were able to have a pleasant convo and wrapped it up before my two hour street parking expired. We ordered and shared the following: Chips with salsa, added guacamole ($11) Freshly prepped, generously served chips, evenly seasoned. Decent salsa, liked the guacamole better. Popcorn Chicken ($15) This came with a dipping sauce. Ample serving, brought what we couldn't finish to The Homie. He too appreciated it. However, I definitely prefer Japanese style chicken karaage. Carnitas Tacos with rice and beans ($15) Tacos come as a pair, again generous serving for each of us. The cojita cheese was a nice exclamation point with each bite. I enjoyed the accompanying flavorful rice and beans. Nice addition to the Belltown dining scene coming up on a year at 2nd/Bell. They take walk-ins and reservations. Nice spot with a full bar for a bite and/or to hang out for awhile. Probably would come back and try other tacos, the soup and queso, because I enjoy New Mexican cuisine using roasted green chiles. read more

First of all I like to think that I hyped myself up too much for this place. The reviews were all amazing and the food looked excellent. We stopped here for brunch before a matinee Mariners game. We got there a bit after opening and we were the only ones there which was weird to me. Anyway, the server was great and very informational about the food and drinks. We started off with a couple Margaritas. I had the jalapeño and my wife had the prickly pear. Mine was great, my wife and I agreed hers was extra sweet. I finished mine but she did not finish hers. We started out with the Queso Fundito and chips. Very flavorful. There were many things that I wanted to try in the menu but I settled for the Huevos Rancheros. It was alright. Very large portion, but I did not want to eat it all. My wife ordered the Americana Breakfast, which was just a normal breakfast. The hatch browns were good, but nothing else stood out. We dined with friends which doubled the Africana order and also added biscuits and gravy. The biscuits that came with the Americana as well as what were used for the biscuits and gravy were HARD. Like I mean hard. Inedible. My friend finished one half of one of the biscuits of his biscuits and gravy. The restaurant itself was clean and inviting, but the food itself just wasn't there. Maybe the lunch and dinner is where it's at, and I may come back to give it a whirl, I feel like we just came in on a seriously off day. read more
