    Love the ambiance of this restaurant! In town visiting and the fam was craving Mexican food. Lets start with the portion - HUGE!!! Taste was just ok. What we had: CHIMICHANGA 7/10 (shredded beef was tough) SEAFOOD enchiladas 6/10 (bland) Birria Nachos 8/10 (pretty good and loaded) Street taco plate 8/10 (pretty good) Our server was nice and kept checking on us which we appreciated. Place was clean and had authentic cultural pieces.

    Taco (Crispy Or Soft) & Enchilada plate

    Stopped by during our recent visit to Seattle. I had been here years ago and decided to give it another try. It was just as good as I remembered it to be. The bar area is fully equipped with multiple TVs. This was a sneaky good place to watch sports. They had great content management with all important college football and baseball games on the TVs. We got the crispy taco and cheese enchilada plate and al pastor tacos. It came with so much food we didn't come close to finishing it all. It was all very good and fresh. Make sure to ask for their homemade salsa which they had bottled behind the bar.

    Went for Friday night dinner and have done takeouts before. The place is in a very good location and near climate pledge arena. The interior gives a lot of Mexican vibes and they were decorating for cinco de mayo. I ordered enchiladas rancheros with Al pastor meat. That was not on the menu but they added it and charged extra for the selection(2$). The food was average and not much flavorful. They also offer chips. The service was fine we did not have to wait a lot to get seated.

    Food: 4 stars Service: 4 stars Customer Service: 4 stars Ambiance: 5 stars Parking: you have to pay, there is a small lot in side of the restaurant. 0-2 hours $4.50. However, we came on a Friday. Inside made me feel like I am in an authentic Mexican restaurant. I loved it. We came here yesterday, our first time. Another recommendation from a local. It fit as we love Mexican food. They have a lunch menu which ends at 3:00 pm and ee arrive at 2:45 pm perfect. It was not busy, so we were in and out quickly.. Our server was attentive to our needs. Our order: I ordered the two crispy chicken tacos with refried beans. My partner ordered a crispy beef taco with a enchilada and whole beans. The food came out fast. You get complimentary chips which were warm and good. I really liked the salsa. My Tacos were filled with chicken and they were good. However, when ordering crispy Tacos, I wish they would put them on a separate plate because my Tacos were soggy and feel apart, but they were still good. My partner said his food was good, but they also put the crispy taco on his plate and it was soggy. He ordered whole beans and they brought refried and made the correction quickly. I would come back whenever I am in town. It's nice to know a lunch menu and price is still honored with prices on everything are on a rise.

    Carne Asada
    Nikita S.

    My review is based solely on pick-up. I ordered the Carne Asada, which cost around $30 and included complimentary chips and tortillas. The portion size was generous and quite filling. I really enjoyed the beans and the seasoning on the carne, but I wasn't a fan of the rice or how chewy the meat was. It's possible the texture was affected by it being a pick-up order, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Overall, it was a decent experience, and if I find myself craving Carne Asada again, I might consider ordering it.

    Very good family owned Mexican restaurant that is close to downtown Seattle. The nachos are particulary yummy and the tacos are great.

    Ahhhh!

    We had a great visit - fajitas, tacos, burritos were all delicious. The drink selection is extensive, although we opted for margaritas and beer. The service was friendly and quick, although we were there on a night without a game nearby. There are lots of tables and a nice bar area, so I'd imagine even if it were busy, you could get in relatively quickly.

    The order that never got made :,(

    It really sucks that I have to write this review because I love their food so much. I place an order @ 4:45pm and set it for pick up at 5:50. I get there and it's busy, there is nobody present, and I had to wait for a waiter to spot me in order to tell them I have a pickup order. I tell them the name for the order and they told me they don't have it and that it must've been picked up for delivery. This doesn't make any sense because I placed an order for pickup, not delivery. I show them three different kinds of proof of purchase with my name, date, and the order with the restaurants address and everything. They told me they don't have it. I ask if they can make it cause I already paid and they told me I would have to wait as they have a long list of people that need to be sat for dinner. Look, I've worked in so many restaurants. I know what it's like to forget someone's order or to screw up like this especially when it's busy butThis is not the type of situation to be saying "you have to wait another hour for your food that you placed almost two hours ago." You send in that order on the fly and you make it for the customer who has been waiting much longer than any of the folks that arrived after to be sat for dinner. Yeah they made me wait for almost an hour. Folks around me were gossiping about the lack of organization this restaurant has and it made perfect sense. Once again I hate to be writing this but y'all lost a regular customer. Absolutely horrendous customer service. Delicious food but PLEASE do something about this. Thank god I got my money back At least.

    Came here as we were in the area for an event at Climate Pledge Arena. No happy hour on Sundays. Tried some ceviche, some nachos, some flautas, taco salad, chile relleno,and some drinks. We liked everything that we had. The service was good. The ambiance was relaxed. Bar area can get a little cramped. All in all, it was a decent place--not the best, but was convenient at the time.

    Fajitas
    Diana C.

    I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the review is predominantly based on the food. The service was fine and the inside was comfortable and colorful with plenty of TVs if you want to watch the game. But the food was really underwhelming. The nachos tasted more like store-bought ingredients and I didn't finish them. My partner wasn't a fan of his fajitas either and felt they lacked flavor. The mango marg he had was fine but the jalapeño marg I had was too sweet and flavorless and wasn't spicy enough. We wouldn't go back probably but the food does come out fast if you're looking for that.

    Mojitos and complimentary Chips And Salsa
    Kim-Nhi N.

    My wife and I came for dinner and were quickly seated. We snacked on the complimentary chips and salsa while we waited to order. Service was quick and the food was filling and delicious! I ordered the carne asada and my wife got the beef fajitas. We enjoyed minty fresh mojitos with our meal. The beef fajitas had a little bit of kick, which we really liked but might not be for spice-and-seasoning-sensitive folks. The restaurant was very spacious and was not too loud or quiet. Good value for your buck! Ended up leaving with leftovers!

As far as the food, for the price point, I do feel we could have gone somewhere else and received better quality. The food wasn't terrible, but it didn't quite meet our expectations for what we paid. The biggest disappointment was our interaction with the bartender on 9/4 around 8:30 PM. Our group approached the bar simply trying to order a round of shots. From the beginning, her attitude came across as unnecessarily rude when she asked whether we had a table. She then looked at our group and said, "First of all, we can't have you up here." We genuinely did not know that guests seated at tables were supposed to order through their server. Had she simply explained that to us politely, we would have apologized, returned to our table, and ordered from there. The policy itself wasn't the issue. It was the way it was communicated. Aside from that interaction, we enjoyed our time and really appreciated Jadin for making our experience a positive one.

The restaurant also has a parking lot for people to park at as well, so that is a plus! The drink menu is very limited, they don't have a full bar. I ordered the skinny margarita and it was good. The food is authentic and if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, D'La Santa is the spot. We ordered the queso and the rajitas. Both appetizers are really good, came out super hot. Highly recommend. I got the carne asada plate and added an extra mini quesadilla. The carne is very seasoned so you have to eat it with the tortilla to balance out the saltiness. The service was fast and our waiter was very attentive.

    This place isn't easy to get to. If you were to walk from the nearest light rail station, it takes…read moreabout 35 minutes - so the only other option is taking a bus from there. Despite the trek, I'm pretty happy to say that this was absolutely worth it as maybe the highest quality Mexican food in the Seattle area. The dishes here are not what you find at your typical Mexican restaurant. There's no chips and salsa, and the menu is small - only around 4 entrees and 4 small plates, along with a few appetizers. It's best to come here with someone else and find things to share - which is what I did with the small plates, since some of them come with two per order. We ended up ordering the maiz sourdough, the albacore tostadas, the brisket tacos, and tetela - finishing with the pan de elote for dessert. I'll start with what is absolutely their signature dish - the albacore tuna tostadas. I'm willing to say that this is the best dish I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. It comes in two tostadas - each with raw albacore tuna, mayo, avocado, and fried leeks - and oh my goodness is it spectacular. Everything starts from the base of it all - the tostada itself, which is so far and away the best tostada I've ever had it's not even a debate. Years of having tostadas shatter, or even crack on each bite left me fully unprepared for what was to come; a tostada that behaves like an architecturally sound disc. Seriously, you take a bite of this and the entire rest of it remains wholly intact. It's like a miracle. The texture reminds me of a Frito, it's got those slightly raised bumps and a similar thickness. And I haven't even gotten to the toppings yet. The raw tuna on top is perfect sashimi - it's soft, just fatty enough, and absolutely slides through your mouth at the lightest chew. There's also a lot more of it on the tostada than I expected. The kewpie mayo has a surprising spice to it - like the best version of spicy mayo that you've had; except it has a bit of a smoky flavor to it as well. The avocado adds earthiness, chill-ness, and a good level of fat. Lastly, the fried leeks on top provide that extra crunchy layer just to cap it all off. It's simply one of the best constructed dishes I've seen. It took a lot of willpower not to order another set of these. The other two small plates were good, but don't quite match up. The brisket tacos are small, but filled with toppings, including a ton of the dry-aged suadero. This beef was very good, containing a lot of fat and being quite juicy in each bite. I also loved the tortillas, which were some of the best corn tortillas I've had. It's clear they nixtamalize the corn used for these in-house. Still, this didn't feel that much more than a good taco. The tetela was also fine, but nothing too special as mostly just eggplant on the inside. Something else that was amazing though, was the maiz sourdough we ordered. It's easily one of the best bread appetizers I've had. The outside is so crispy without being too chewy, while the inside is hot, fluffy, and so easy to tear apart. I simply can't get over how amazing the crust is on this bread - it wraps all the way around, and is baked to absolute perfection. The included honey butter is also really well salted and sweet, but I do wish there was more of it. For dessert, we had the pan de elote - which is a sweet corn cake with blackberry jam and a whipped cream. I found the whipped cream fascinating; rather than being too sweat, it instead had a lighter flavor that focused more on the soft and creamy texture than traditional whipped cream. The combination of the super-fresh blackberry jam and texture of the whipped cream added a ton of moisture to the corn cake - which otherwise resembled kind of a sweet cornbread. Also, the portions on the cake were crazy good. All that said, this is quite an expensive place. For what we had, per person it ended up being over $60 without any drinks. For the tostada and tacos especially, you're paying 10+ dollars/person for a single tostada or taco. I would say it's worth the price for the tostada, but not for the taco. Overall, it is certainly high-end, but the quality of food here is so high it's an absolute recommend from me. 9.25/10

We thankfully found street parking just outside and were seated promptly. Truly loved how simple and charming the interior was. I'll be honest, we were dying from 1st dinner even though we only ate a few bites but being gluttons, we got the tomato salad (my favorite bite of the entire evening), my friend got the suadero tacos for herself, and I ordered the enfrijoladas (mushroom) with a side of tortillas -- I couldn't resist! Everything I tasted was delicious and I am honestly planning my next trip back ASAP. We, of course, couldn't resist dessert cause WHEN I TELL YOU THAT CORN CAKE HAS MY ENTIRE HEART. If the capslock wasn't apparent, the dessert was incredible, giantly sized, and lives rent free in my head 5ever. Do yourself a favor and go to Pancita; it is one of the rare spots that deserves every bit of the hype being sent its way.

Not sure, I know there's another location in Pike's Place) were friendly and seemed like they wanted to be sure that we enjoyed our food. Definitely not the cheapest Mexican restaurant around, but you're paying for the attention to detail and carefully sourced ingredients. My food was really tasty. The way their ordering works for most menu items is you pick your antojito and then your guisado (the "vessel" and "filling," I guess). I went with gorditas with chicken. All the antojitos are made with hand-made masa (nixtamal corn dough) that uses carefully sourced heirloom maize (corn), and the gorditas were no exception. The masa was really tasty and the texture was perfect. The chicken guisado was good, and I think I'll try another type depending on what they have available the next time stop in during lunch.
