    Best Spicy Margarita Ever!! My first time and will be back! The gentleman that made my spicy margarita was so kind and helpful with the menu. As we left, we saw our bartender also working in the kitchen. Give that man a raise! #bestspicymargaritaever

    Late review. My son took we here for his appreciation of being his mother. The staff was kind. We started out with a margarita drink. The place provided a bar lack vibe. My son got a burrito, my husband order the fajitas and I ordered the shrimp tacos. The food was delicious tasted fresh and came out hot.

    First time here and it was incredible! Very welcoming environment and staff, definitely feels like a family owned place. I had a raspberry mojito and a watermelon margarita, both were fantastic. Every ounce of food on my plate was absolutely delicious and well seasoned. Good spice levels. I can't say enough good things, I will definitely be back!

    Food taste is good and not your normal Mexican food menu Many margarita flavors Service is on point Nice and spacious inside

    Chips and salsa + beans to start us off. Spicy mango margarita and watermelon margarita

    We were looking for a place to grab margaritas and Mexican food after my friend picked me up from the airport and La Esquina popped up. The food looked good in the limited pictures we saw and the menu was diverse. I'm soooo glad we stopped by! It wasn't busy at all but it really should have been. All the food was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The margaritas were delicious. Our server was amazing and so much fun. The whole time there was a DJ and they were playing fun music. Eventually the bar area filled up and some folks started dancing but truly this place should be packed every day! I'll be telling all my Seattle friends about it!

    La esquina means "the corner" and sits on the corner of Ambaum and 153rd

    An excellent addition to the Burien Mexican food spots. The inside is spacious with the largest bar and liquor collection in the neighborhood. Top shelf margaritas are tangy and excellent. The food is a far cut above your standard Mexican fare with massive burritos featuring your choice of uniquely spiced proteins including adobada, asada and even birria (goat). The most interesting dish is the pollo Al pipian which is a quarter chicken slow roasted in an earthy sauce highlighted by pumpkin seeds. The bird falls off the bone with the slightest swipe of a fork and is succulent and complex. And the sauce is great to dredge the accompanying rice and beans through. Wonderful spot for an after work marg or a gathering of friends to watch the game with a frosty Modelo.

    Very excited to try this place as the reviews were awesome. Came here with a friend and we both ordered Cadillac margaritas, jalapeno poppers, and two different kinds of sushi. Wait staff was extremely friendly and met all of our needs. Cadillac margaritas were a little nondescript and I walked away without even a slight buzz. Jalapeno poppers were fairly small and even though melted cheese was good in the middle, a lot of coating. Sushi was very good and presentation was lovely, but I wouldn't say it was great. Atmosphere was welcoming and as we were leaving they were setting up a band.

    100% am going to go back here! We had a carne asada torta and pozole and it did not disappoint. Super nice people, great authentic mexican food, and the margaritas on the patio this summer are gonna be my go-to. Way better than Mission/Matador/any of the Mexican you'll find in Morgan or Admiral Junction!

    Asada tacos
    Ghostly S.

    This was the best asada I have ever had. So so good. My friends had burrito and shrimp tacos and the carne asada they all said it was really good! Great customer service. They were so nice.

    I tried. Arrived 10 minutes after they were supposed to be open. Door locked, no signs of life. I recommend calling ahead.

    The food is SO GOOD! Tried both the pork chop and the filet and both were so flavorful and cooked…read moreperfectly. Also, dedicated Gluten free fryer & a lot of gluten free options!! Such a good date night spot, it's so cozy. Couldn't recommend more!!

    My family and I went to Tin Room last night and while the restaurant itself was cute and the staff…read morewas awesome, the food left a LOT to be desired. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled pork belly. Served on a bed of fennel & apple salad,(?) the pork was well-cooked, tender, and had a great smoky flavor. This was the high point of the meal for me. One of my family members ordered the fish & chips as an entrée and I tasted a piece of it; it was a tasty piece of fish and a nice tartar sauce, but the slaw served with it was over-seasoned and mostly inedible. My entrée was the pork schnitzel, and it was decidedly not what I was expecting. The pork was not pounded thin, but rather served as a 1inch think boneless, breaded pork chop on a bed of sautéed purple cabbage and a mustard sauce. It was tasty but not $30 tasty, especially as the pork chop in look & taste came off as Shake & Bake? I honestly am providing this place 3.5 stars because the pork belly was yummy and the other members of my party were mostly satisfied with the meal, tho one did complain that their burger was rather dry. While I would eat there again because I would want to eat the fish n chips and try that pork belly again, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for their first time in Burien.

    We were looking for a convenient and not too chaotic place for Easter brunch and this hit the spot…read more Located near Burien's main drag in their "Olde Town." You will need to find street parking but it's not too difficult. The name gives you the clue - it's "classic" in a retro, elevated biker bar way (there is a bar in the front and there was a biker out front as well so I'm sticking with this description). On the walls are "classics" like Harley Davidson and Elvis Presley. Among the other things that we did not know (which was everything) - it's New Orleans Cajun-based food. There are some non-New Orleans Cajun items on the menu - traditional breakfast French Toast and such - however, many of the items, from the omelets to the chicken ARE with a very tasty and not-too-spicy Cajun flavor or sauce. My husband had the omelet that featured andouille sausage and was very glad he did. I tried the Cajun chicken tenders (?) that came LOADED, on top of delicious homestyle biscuits, and next to a pile of cheesy potatoes. Service was perfect. Very friendly from walking in the door to walking out the door. Very diverse clientele so you can rest assured you will like it here. Could not have had a better Easter brunch experience unless the Easter Bunny itself was there.

    Food: eggs were perfectly cooked and hashbrowns were good. Unfortunately, the bacon, biscuits,…read morebreakfast potatoes, and gravy were all garbage. If I want a Pillsbury biscuit, I'll go to the grocery store. Service: despite being super busy, service was fast and friendly. Ambiance: blasting music and loud customers--ugh . . . I'm glad we did t go out of our way to eat here.
