Super tasty food and fun atmosphere! Our server was helpful and attentive. All of our drinks were so good.

The food was delicious, seasoned well and cooked to perfection. I devoured mine in minutes! The drink was on point as well. I just came back from Chile, where I tried a pisco sour for the first time, and this one tasted just like the one I got in Valaparaiso. The reason my friend chose this place is the best part. She said the owner uses some of the proceeds to help feed people in the city who are food insecure. I love that. Makes every penny spent totally worth it. To top it off, the staff was wonderful. They were attentive and pleasant and made us feel at home. read more

We found our way to Mojito because they were in Seattle Met's best 50 restaurants list. Located in the Maple Leaf neighborhood across from the local park, Mojito is a Latin-inspired restaurant featuring flavors of Cuba, Caribbean, and Latin America. Luam Wersom, the owner, greets and waits on diners. The restaurant is charming and well-sized. Arriving early, we readily got a table. The food is flavorful, though I can't vouch for the authenticity. They offer two house-made hot sauce, one of which has habanero. The server said, "A little bit goes a long way." It has a kick but maybe 3.5-stars kind of spicy, toned-down spiciness for the American palate. Our server did a great job answering my questions. The Food: Arepa, with shredded beef, $7 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Venezuelan corn cake. Choice of ham and cheese, shredded beef, or pork These freshly made meat pockets are about 4" diameter, well-stuffed, and tastes great with the house hot sauces. Camarones Carmen Miranda (appetizer), $17.50 - 5 Stars Menu: Shrimp sautéed with grilled pineapple, mango, bell peppers and Cachaça, with tostones This appetizer version is my perfect dish - protein and produce. This reduced portion of the entrée size has 8 jumbo prawns! The flavors are savory, but also refreshing from the salad and fruits. The tostones are surprisingly filling. La Jefa, with chicken, $17.50 - 3.5 Stars With a choice of protein, this sandwich went home instead since the two small plates were well-sized. They use a Macrina bakery roll (nearby) to make these well-stuffed sandwiches. Though tasty, this dish didn't stand out as a Latin dish other than the tostones and mild guasacaca. Tierra Y Mar, $37 - 4 Stars This surf and turf dish is from the January specials menu -grilled octopus, NY strip steak, shrimps, with chimichurri sauce. The octopus is phenomenal - perfectly grilled, flavorful, and large. Next best are the two shrimps. The steak is grilled correctly but itself didn't have much flavor. The chimichurri sauce was lacking flavor, too. After dismissing my idea of pouring the light hot sauce on the steak, hubby did it and concluded the steak was much better. Lol. read more

Perfect location, wonderful atmosphere, and incredible service. This wonderful brunch place is located right near Maple Leaf park which makes it a great place to go before or after a park visit. There is no parking lot but street parking, especially a couple of streets down, is quite easy to find. My friends and I came in for Sunday brunch and were seated quite quickly and easily. We loved to colors of the restaurant which were bright and fun. Our table decided to do family style and shared everything that we ordered. As a table of four, we shared one entree, one sandwich, a salad and an appetizer which was the absolute perfect amount of food and variety. We decided on the El Pepito Ranchero, The Ensalada Caribena, and entree that I have since forgotten and an appetizer. The sandwich was amazing and so juicy which was a pleasant surprise. The salad was a great addition and allowed for light and fresh option. The entree was also amazing, the meat was seasoned incredibly and added great variety to our spread. The owner of the restaurant was also there and encouraged the whole restaurant to sing happy birthday to a customer which was very sweet. I will be back for sure! read more

Mojito - Family style :) - Cuban Near Me - Seattle, Washington

got the Lechon Asado plate along with the Chicken Empanada here Before I even talk about the food, I have to mention the environment here. This restaurant is really small - only room for a few tables in the indoor seating area, with very few staff on hand. However, it has an incredible feeling - like you're stepping out of Seattle and directly into Colombia, or Venezuela, or Cuba, or other similar places The music playing from the speakers, the art and pictures on the wall, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is quite literally perfect. The owner (whom I recognized because there was a giant painting of him on the wall) even came in and took my plates when I finished. This is all a preface to say that this may be the most perfect Latin food I've had in my life (and I've been to Mexico and the DR) Starting off with the Chicken Empanada, I can't start without mentioning how crispy it was. The crunch on this thing was absolutely incredible - biting into the breading was so immensely satisfying. The inside was also great - a mix of chicken and cheese. This empanada was done Colombian-style, which meant it had cornmeal, which combined to be really good. I additionally loved the guacamole - so much so that after I finished I was just eating it with the few pieces of greens I was given Moving to the main dish, the Cuban black beans and rice (congri) were basically perfect - the beans were sweet and immensely comforting, and the rice was well-cooked, slightly wet with the sauce, and just overall fantastic. I ate this by mixing it with the pork. Speaking of the pork, it was absolutely the highlight of the meal. There was a TON of it on the plate, and it's hard to put into words how juicy, tender, and astoundingly flavorful it was. The roasting and marinating process worked to absolute perfection here - as it was so satisfying to eat. The flavor profile of mixing the pork, rice, and beans was just all-time good. It was difficult to eat the last piece of pork, because then I knew I'd be done with the meal Lastly, the two other things this came with were the fried yucca and tostones. These were both an interesting complement, and I really loved the sauce that was slightly sour and slightly mayo-like that came as a dip with this In terms of price, I would say this was a pretty good amount of food, although the total was slightly on the expensive side at around 28 dollars. Still absolutely worth it, in my opinion read more

The restaurant is clean and has a chill vibe to it. The service was great as well. However got a togo order and it was a mess. Ordered the Parilla Mojito with no rice and it was packaged poorly to start. Though the beans were flavorful, the needed a container separate. The citrus-marinated steak was tough and a small portion for the price. The fried yucca and tostones though were cooked well to a golden brown. Based on this experience it's not worth it for the cost. read more

I had visited the OG site albeit infrequently. So I had been anticipated their move, renovation, and grand opening at the former Art Tile location in Seattle's Maple Leaf neighborhood. Tried twice with no luck. Finally The Homie & I had mega parking & seating karma on this rainy Wednesday 10/1/25. Third time's the charm, indeed! Our waitperson was super personable and at the ready for any menu questions. The Homie selected a refreshing batido and well crafted El Cubano. I opted for the Bistec a Cabello...perfectly grilled steak topped with an egg, congri (beans & rice), yucca, tostones, and delicious house salad. Packed full of flavors, textures, and at a terrific value! Wrapped up the meal with a pair of cafe con leches and shared a slice of tres leches cake. The only thing that can be improved upon is sound proofing. The din was so loud that it was at times a challenge to have a convo or hear our waitperson. High ceilings and concrete floors amplifies collective lively convos from the entire dining space. Kudos to Luam Wersom, owner & community leader and his entire team at Mojito for continued success! read more

Hidden gem but iykyk. Before we get to the food just a quick shout out to an owner who deeply cares about his clients and fantastic service. Expect every table to get a warm greeting and laid back conversation with the man himself. You really can't miss with anything on the menu so I won't direct you towards anything specific. A big shout out to their salsas however. Big kick and incomparable flavor combinations. read more

Food: the Cuban sandwich was outstanding. I didn't care for the Pabellon (too sweet), but the rice, beans, and Maderos that came with it were delicious. Service was remarkable: friendly and attentive Ambiance: due to the relatively small space and popularity of the restaurant, the noise level was a bit much. This made conversation a challenge. read more

We popped into Mojito in the Roosevelt district on a Saturday afternoon and right away were greeted by the sweetest waitress. She complimented our goth-inspired outfits and let us sit wherever we wanted. The whole place has this fun, bright, Latin-inspired vibe with colors everywhere, super breezy, just good energy. A minute later the owner came over to chat about the big game, and honestly, he was awesome. Total highlight. I ordered the Million Dollar Mojito and holy crap, it was a million dollars. So good. We grabbed a ham empanada to share and that crust was to die for. My husband got the El Pepito sandwich and said it was delicious, and I ordered the La Casa sandwich which was absolutely incredible. We wrapped it up with the tres leches and it was perfect. Like, genuinely, no notes. read more

Latin American place that specializes in Cuban and Venezuelan dishes! I got the vaca frita and the bartido smoothie in the guanabana (soursop) flavor. Delicious! Portion sizes aren't huge though so don't expect to be filled. Meat is also on the dryer side but the plantains were well cooked. The bartido was slightly sweetened which is perfect for me. read more

I had not been to this place in many years a found they had moved to the Maple Leaf neighborhood. Place is very good size, bright and airy. Service was very good, though not lot a of people when I first arrived. Menu looked great. I got a chicken and potato Colombian empanada that was excellent. Main dish was Milanese de carne, breaded fried steak served with fries and rice. Meat was excellent. They provided two very tasty sauces , both creamy, habanero and garlic, house made. To drink I had A Jasper's Rum Punch, very good but bit too sweet for my taste, and Pisco Sour that was very good. All in all a very good meal and I will definitely be going back. read more

Had a great family dinner here. The service was great throughout, the food and drinks were all amazing, and the atmosphere was lively and friendly all night. The whole snapper was perfect - lightly breaded but perfectly seasoned and cooked. And the house salad goes great with it for the freshness. I'd love if they added a Happy Hour menu since I live down the road. read more

The food is delicious! I ate from a catering order but definitely dining in the restaurant next time! I got the cheese, beef and chicken empanadas which were filling and flavorful. Then I had their Congri which is seasoned rice and vegetables. I could eat this everyday! It's sooo good. I didn't think I'd like it with the carrots inside but I was surprised by how much I liked it. I added some hot sauce to my rice and it was perfect. Lastly, I got some Maduros which are roasted plantains. These were the perfect dessert. I'm excited to try more items in the menu! read more

This place is absolutely terrible. Brought my wife here cause she is Cuban and I wanted to give her a surprise since we are out of town. The quality of the food was terrible, she ordered vaca frita and I ordered parrilla mojito. I had to return my dish since the steak was gross. I ordered ceviche to start with and that was the only thing that was ok. At the end of the night I ordered a batido and they mixed ice guanabana and water. I had also ordered a mojito to start the night off and was not impressed. The bartender needs to really take some classes on how to prepare drinks. Overall, I came to this place to enjoy a nice dinner with my wife and ended up frustrated, not full and with a bill of close to $100. I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

We just had dinner at Mojito. What a wonderful experience. Ana out server was kind and attentive, the food was great, staff was friendly. I had the Parilla Mojito, which was delicious. Super flavorful meat. My girlfriend had the bistec which she also enjoyed. The atmosphere was lively, totally packed Thursday evening so we were sandwiched in between two other couples, however our food arrived in a timely manner and drinks were brought out right away. Overall I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for some authentic Venezuelan or Colombian cuisine served by friendly people. They deserve praise for their service this evening. Oh, and the yucca fries were really good! read more

Stopped by for lunch after my 4 year old's gymnastic class in the neighborhood. The staff was beyond lovely. Was able to bring the smoothie the kiddo ordered in a plastic cup for him. He was being a bit argumentative about wha to eat and as the didn't have a dedicated kid's menu, I asked the waitress for recommendations which she was prepared for and made several! She also offered that if he nibbled something on one of our plates and liked it, that they would be happy to make a serving of just that for him. Food was delicious, whole place had a very chill vibe. One of the other staff members came by to compliment my kid's hair and chat for a second about parenthood so it felt very much like being surrounded by friends. It was a smidge pricey for lunch, but absolutely worth it! read more

I went in hoping nothing had been lost in the move from their original location--what I didn't expect was for it to be even better. Every plate that hit the table was clearly crafted with care. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and with textures so spot-on that my picky side couldn't find a single flaw. The meats? Tender and juicy. The fruits and veggies? Fresh and vibrant. The yucca frita? Crisp and crunchy perfection. And the mojitos--well, let's just say they were dangerously delicious. When they asked if I wanted hot sauce, I said "sure," expecting the usual store-bought bottle. Instead, they brought out homemade mild and hot sauces that paired with the meat like they were long lost lovers destined to be together. This was one of those dinners you secretly hope for every time you go out--the kind that leaves you smiling all the way home. I'll definitely be back. read more

I'm from Miami & got the Cuban sandwich... it was ok. They added mayonnaise & it wasn't on Cuban bread, so that was different. Their mojitos are good. The restaurant sits in a cute neighborhood & has a good feel inside. Service was great & the owner was there, chatting with customers.. it was cool. read more

This was our very first meal on arriving in Seattle, and we'll keep coming back! Fresh, flavorful, fast.

My partner, kid and I came to this place on a Sunday. The hostess at the entrance gave us a warm welcoming. The table service was great, the food and drinks excellent. Lastly, we got the chance to meet the owner, he is an amazing man. He always checked on our table. We are definitely coming back! read more

My family and I went to Mojito to celebrate my wife's birthday, we were a party of 8 including two kids. We all ordered a different dish as well as appetizers. Everything we ordered was delicious and extremely fresh. The fried fish was one of the best fried fish I've ever had. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and very flavorful. We also had a variety of cocktails, including one mocktail that my wife and kids enjoyed very much. What made the occasion even more memorable was my 7 year old daughter told the owner of Mojito that it was her mom's birthday and if they could sing Happy Birthday like they do at Red Robin. The owner promptly made an announcement to the whole restaurant asking everyone to join along in singing Happy Birthday. My daughter was so happy and it was a beautiful moment. He also gave my two girls an ice cream cup to-go, on the house. All in all, we had a wonderful time. We used to go to the Lake City location, and this new location in Maple Leaf is stunning. We will be back! read more

Comfortable but a bit noisy especially for kids under 10 years old. The noise is not the restaurant music, it's the chattering of the customers. The food was delicious !

12 years ago I asked a pretty girl to meet me at Mojitos for our first date. I waited almost an hour and it didn't seem like she would show up. That's when Luam the owner checked in with me and said "Don't worry. She's going to come!" Well... We just celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary August 21. We love you Luam!

Mojitos is a long time favorite of ours but, and we thought it impossible, we love it even more in its new incarnation in the former Art Tile Building in Maple Leaf, across from the Rez Park, and next to the Macrinas. Amazing renovation, high ceilings, new bar, plenty of space, A/C! But still the great food and overwhelmingly friendly service, led by the owner Luam, his wife Lindsey, and Victor. read more

Love me some Mojitos! The food is terrific and so is the vibe. It's casual, relaxed and laid back. I love that the owner has his own nonprofit through which he makes and distributes meals to the needy. What a stellar human being he is, as well as a great chef and restaurant owner. read more

They still got it! Tried the camarones carmen miranda, which was amazing. Lemonada was fresh and not too sweet (perfect). Salads were very fresh, and everyone was having a good time. It is usually hopping and loud, so heads up on that. Always appreciate the positive vibes and love the new location. read more

I did a service call to fix some issues with lighting. Luam (owner) greeted me with absolute hospitality and made a Cuban for me.

I would leave 5 stars for cleanliness, ambience, and service. Food gets one star. Auntie is married to Cuban. The food does not hit any cuban notes, not savory at all. The sauces were flavorful due to heat (cubanitos no comen chiloso) maybe attempt at Caribbean fusion (and I love love spicy)! Overall very disappointing!!!!!!!! My sister said she is happy to help make it more authentic. Cheers and good fortunate! read more

The wait staff, including the chef and owner, were extremely friendly and gregarious. The empanadas are to die for, the entrees (rockfish prepared 2 different ways) were very flavorful and the portions were huge. And to top it all off the prices are extremely reasonable.
