Today was my father's 74th birthday, and I decided to surprise him with delicious food from Mojito, this afternoon. It was a fairly large order since we have a lot of people in my family. The email said the order would be ready for pickup at 5:20pm so we made sure to be there just before that. When I arrived, I saw that there were a number of orders sitting in bags, waiting for pickup, and I thought for sure one was ours. None of them, were. Apparently, there was some sort of mix up, and the gentleman who was helping me was apologetic and let me know it would be about ten more minutes. He didn't have to, but offered up a grapefruit drink while I waited. Eventually, everything was packed up hot and ready to go. It took longer than we anticipated, and everyone was waiting for us to bring the food at my parents' house. When it was time to take the first bites of their meal, my folks were all just blown away over the wonderful flavors! Hot, fresh and delicious. We discovered that the gentleman had added some extra food and cake, and we were so appreciative! It made Dad's birthday even more special. While it is disappointing when an order is not ready when promised, it is so appreciated when a company knows how to make the situation better. It shows that they value my time and my patronage. For this and many other delicious reasons, we will happily continue to support this sweet little restaurant. I just wanted to voice my gratitude and add my little review to their already long list of 5 star ratings. read more

Miami introduces us Cuban food. When we came back to Seattle and tried several Caribbean style restaurant. This turns out to be the best one in town. We came on a Wednesday morning, the Mojito was $5 off that day, which tastes amazing and matches the restaurant's name lol. We ordered a shredded beef entree and a grilled fish fillet entree, with Yucan fries. Everything tastes great. Will definitely come back to try their oxtail entree which is only available on Sunday! read more

Mojito - Vaca Frita (shredded beef) Pescado En Guiso (Fish) - Cuban Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Friendly service. The rice and beans are smart! The dishes are family comfort food. Order or or out for a wonderful experience.,

My daughter chose this restaurant to celebrate her big 3-0 so we met there with the whole family. The staff was very nice and warm and the food was colorful and yummy. My husband and I are vegetarians and were happy that there were two veggie options. We each got one and shared. The yucca fries were AMAZING but we found the plantains flavorless and pasty. The place is tiny so be prepared to perhaps wait for a table. read more

We dine here (or have take-out) quite often. We have always had great meals and would highly recommend Mojitos to anyone. Our favorite is Vaca Frita which I could order every day. Don't miss out on the drinks as they are quite well done. read more

Food is always good. Can't go wrong with any selection. Pick one. Go for it. Drinks are excellent. Anna served us well. Love this place. read more

I wish my experience reflected the mostly amazing review this place gets. Maybe it's because we doordashed, but the quality was just terrible - burnt and inedible tostones and soggy steak with a rock hard yuca fry that cut my wife's lip. It's almost like they refried the sides from several days ago since I refuse to believe any of them were made fresh today. Super disappointed - maybe we just got unlucky, but I'm not sure I want to give it another chance. The ham and cheese arepa was decent and their sauces were pretty good, but otherwise I wasn't impressed at all. read more

I just literally stopped by to have a dinner on my way to Safeway, but got really impressed by the parilla marinade flavor with a cooked to the medium rare beef and the hot sauce that had a nice kick and soury flavor. Victor was a great waiter on top of that helping to make an even better experience! A few things that, personally, would have improved the experience on my taste would be to have a better selection of beers. The sides of the plate, beans and tostones, could have been slightly better. But nothing that would not make me give the 5 stars. A few of my favorites spots in Seattle. read more

Wow I'm Brazilian and I was asking my husband what close to fried banana we could find so I've browser for cuban places because of "maduros" and then I've found this place. I got the beef milanesa, maduros, fried yucca, Spanish tortilla and quesillo. This is exactly like some of Brazilian food and I've never seen anyone serving beef milanesa here, it was so good! Exactly like when my mom's. The food was just pure nostalgia I felt like my mom just cooked my lunch, and she is far away now. I'm hoping to go there as I've ordered online. read more

Fantastic find fun venue, great service but food is the star!!! Great portions and wonderful drinks. Prices are fair for all. Owner greeted us and is a lovely person. We will return again and again. My wife's Camerones Carmen Miranda, that she said was absolutely fabulous!!!! read more

I come to mojito on lake city way about twice a week. I would probably come here 3-4 times a week if I lived nearby. I get the mojito sandwich. It's like a Cuban but better. The empanadas are also PHENOMENAL but I prefer the beef and chicken to the cheese. The meat is always fresh in the sandwich and perfectly cooked. The garlic cilantro sandwich spread is zesty and delicious and the Swiss cheese and Mayo brings the pork and the bread together incredibly. They use fresh French bread and it's just a great sandwich. You will see this sandwich on tv someday The empanadas are crispy corn empanadas and they are very unique from what I have tried and I really like them Chef Ana did an incredible job on Wednesday, January 20th. Having such delicious food is the highlight of my week and I'm truly thankful for you. Thank you! I always get excellent service from Victor, he always makes sure my order is perfect and treats everyone like family. Thank you to Mojito and the staff for making this a neighborhood GEM read more

I have been craving these empanadas since had them for the first time a couple months ago. So today when I found myself nearby I could not resist! I got 3 but only one made it home, they are soooo good! The masa is perfect and the filling delicious. Even the cheese one which is a hard empanada to get right was amazing! The watermelon soda gave me pause but it was a delight, balanced and not too sweet it paired the empanadas perfectly! Already planning my next visit! read more

A large group of us dined here for our monthly dining event. Looking at the reviews I had high expectations coming in. The food was just okay overall. Some of the fried yucca that came out was too hard to even eat. A couple of people mentioned that their marinated steak was bland. Despite the food taking awhile to come out AND lack of flavor on several dishes, I'd still give this place 4 stars. Our waiter was the highlight of the evening. He was very interactive with our group and we all had a good time. Parking can be a little tough since it's all street parking. read more

My husband & I had such a great lunch here the first time we discovered this place, we returned a 2nd time. We had Pescado en Guiso (fish simmered in tomato sauce) & it was so good! I order this each time as my husband tries different dishes. You can't go wrong, everything is so delicious & so authentic! The appetizers are tasty also, we tried the Empanada and Mojito Platter. Luam, the owner is super friendly & accommodating. He adjusted a dish for my husband & substituted the meat for prawns. He also brought out more of this tasty garlic/cilantro dipping sauce because I loved it so much when I didn't even ask. He is awesome! We love chatting with him when we visit. He is such a great guy, does a lot of charity work & gives back to the community. read more

Black owned, delicious food, community stewardship, great service and oxtail soup on Sunday. Must try again and again!

Came here as the hotel we were staying at recommended to try it. When we arrived we were seated quickly and received our menu and waters from the waitress Dawn. The menu choices looked amazing and we were impressed with the drink choices. We had made our decision on what to order, so waited for our server and waited and waited (looking at the dirty water glass my husband got). She took other tables orders (that were seated after us). It wasn't until my husband flagged down another waiter that we were able to place our order (maybe 20 minutes after we were seated) By that time we had changed our mind on what we were going to order as we were annoyed with the wait (I wanted to leave and go somewhere else, but I was too hungry to bother looking for another place). While we waited for our food she walked around and was super friendly with other guest (well not us or other non white guest). Maybes that's why she forgot us cause we aren't white . . . In the 40 minutes while we waited for our food to come the young Hispanic waiter checked on us a couple of times. We never got to taste the food as we left, I am sorry it does not take 40 minutes to bring out food. We wasted over an hour of our time at this place. Thanks for ruining our first night in Seattle. read more

What an amazing find this place was! The owner personally came to us and even helped me put my coat on before heading out in the rain. Every dish my family had was absolutely flawless. The empanadas with guacamole and tostones appetizers were just what we needed on a windy, rainy night. Great food, great employees and service, and top-notch atmosphere. AMAZING. read more

Chicken tasted like it was 2 days old and was super dry. Steak was literally like leather. Rice and beans were good. It was takeout, so I didn't call to let them know as they are across town. I've had them in the past, (years ago) and I recall the food to be so much better. read more

Excellent mojito and empanadas. Fresh flavors, excellent camarones with a mango sauce.

My friend and I decided to come here and try it before hitting a local bar. First, the service is exceptional. Friendly, cozy, inviting, and funny. We'd come back just to have dinner served by Victor. The food was also good. My citrus flavored steak (parrilla mojito) was delicious, the star of the plate. The accoutrements were tasty as well and will serve as an excellent leftover lunch tomorrow. My friend's fish (pescado mojito) was also delicious, though he decided he prefers fish that isn't citrus accented. Nonetheless, we truly enjoyed dinner here and the fact that it was packed on a weeknight during the omicron surge is very telling. Also telling is the fact that we were clearly the only first timers here. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place out but unfortunately I had too high of expectations. I would like to give this place another shot but I'm hesitant. I had the milanesa (breaded steak sandwich) and it wasn't anything special. The whole thing was dry and lacked flavor - I ended up not finishing my sandwich. Also "mixed greens" literally meant three pieces of fancy lettuce leaves. On top of this, I waited nearly an hour for my order with only two people in front of me. I noticed that they were completing the online orders before the door orders which I found backwards. Only one of the 15-20 online orders was picked up during my time of waiting. read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to when rating the whole experience. The food was amazing! The owner was serving tables himself and extraordinary customer service. By the time we left, I felt like we're old friends and knew each other for years. My only regret is that we were only visiting Seattle and don't live in the area. Otherwise, I would eat here multiple times a week. This was by far, the BEST part of Seattle. read more

This is a go to when I want Latin food that is authentic! VICTOR was amazing and even gave us free sodas when we had to wait outside for our to go orders. I have left a positive review before and wanted to come back and leave another! read more

Here's a gem, Mojito. Cuban, Colombian, and Venezuelan fusion. Picture it, a sunny day... outdoors... the ambiance... delightful. The staff? Kind, quick, with a sprinkle of humor. Dishes? Can't go wrong. A carnival of flavors. Their cocktails, oh my, they are... a knockout. Mojito, it's a journey of... taste, under the sun. Try it, and... you'll thank me. Exceptional! read more

Nice outdoor seating for a warm spring evening, delicious drinks & food. Will definitely visit again.

I had the pleasure of eating here because I never had had Cuban food before. A friend invited me for mojitos and dinner. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and you feel like your family as the owner came around to the tables to see how everyone was doing. You can watch the bartender mixing mojitos and they go down so easy, with many different flavors it's hard just to have one. The food was so fresh and the presentation of every plate so visually delightful and appetizing. This restaurant, even though a little difficult to get to, is well worth the trip. You won't be disappointed! read more

Just had dinner here tonight. Top notch service. Speedy service. Very strong drinks. Amazingly tasty dishes, and delicious dessert.

The vaca frita keeps me coming back again and again. The empanadas are great as well - and a good option for gluten free folks since they're made with corn and nothing else in the fryer has gluten in it. read more

Fantastic service, it's unbelievable how friendly they are here! Food is beautifully seasoned and prepared expertly, highly recommend Mojito! Do yourself a favor and enjoy a sunny afternoon on the patio with a mojito, you won't regret it. read more

Mojitos is where you can find the best Cuban sandwich in the world!!! Everything here is delicious. The staff are awesome and the owner Luam(not positive on spelling) is the coolest guy around. Welcoming, personable and always cracking jokes. All I can say is eat here and eat here often!! Paseos isn't even close. read more

Can't believe we didn't know about this place even though we live so close. Great vibes & outdoor seating. Super helpful & friendly staff! Maduros & Fried Yucca were delicious. Pollo a la parrilla was overall good. The dark meat was great, but the white meat was dry. Rice & beans were tasty. Left me curious about other menu items to try next time. read more

Mojito - Pollo A La Parrilla, Maduros, Empanada, Arepa - Cuban Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Tucked in a residential neighborhood, this place is a delicious and lively hole in the wall. The staff is extremely friendly and our waiter was cracking jokes with us as soon as we walked in. Best dish was the Guiso de Pollo. Our waiter mentioned that the sauce is simmered for 8 hours and wow, a full workday of simmering does that sauce well. The flavors are rich and savory, and the chicken goes so well with a side of maduros. The empanadas were hot and crispy, a great lil appetizer. The ceviche was ok, as was the steak. I wish we could've tried the oxtail soup but that's only a Sunday special; might be worth coming back on a Sunday sometime to try it though. The main entrees are generous portions and can be easily shared among multiple people. Definitely recommend stopping by for a hearty meal. read more

Super friendly service and amazing food. Anna was helpful and very kind to get us seated on the outdoor patio. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's in the mood for some Latin food. We tried cameron carmen miranda (shrimp in mango pineapple pepper sauce), parrila mojito (marinated beef), lechon asado (marinated pork), and the pescado en guiso (fillet fish in tomato sauce). I enjoyed the fish the best and highly recommend it. I will definitely be coming back for more. read more
