    Went for Friday night dinner and have done takeouts before. The place is in a very good location and near climate pledge arena. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior gives a lot of Mexican vibes and they were decorating for cinco de mayo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Beef crispy taco with a chicken enchilada with rice and beans and sour cream.

    Food: 4 stars Service: 4 stars Customer Service: 4 stars [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: 5 stars[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside made me feel like I am in an authentic Mexican restaurant. I loved it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Great Mexican restaurant located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle…read more Freshly made chips that come with a salsa roja that has a kick to it. Not bland like in other places. The ceviche was fresh and loved that they added shredded carrots for extra crunchiness. Tacos de carne were delicious, with the meat properly seasoned. Will definitely come back for more the next time we are in Seattle. Service was prompt and courteous.

    I shared the mole enchiladas and lengua en salsa verde from this Mexican place…read more Of these, the lengua en salsa verde was my favorite. The beef tongue was cooked pretty well. Although it's naturally very fatty, the flavor and juiciness was retained after cooking - so they didn't screw it up. The salsa verde was a very nice accompaniment, as it tasted light, fresh, and a good complement to the fat of the meat. The mole enchiladas were less good. The mole sauce used leaned way too heavily on a sweet flavor - having little to no nuttiness whatsoever. It didn't taste anywhere close to some of the best moles I've had. The enchilada underneath was fine - nothing special. Both dishes came with beans and rice. Both were slightly above average, but nothing to write home about. I would say the portions were well sized in terms of overall amount, but the enchiladas were quite small compared to the beans and rice. With these two dishes we ended up around 28 per person. Overall, it's average Mexican food. 6.5/10

(those burritos are massive omg.) the mole enchiladas were SOOO good, as were the cashew poblano enchiladas. their sauces are so yummy and the presentation was on-point for both enchiladas. i also had a bite of my friend's carne en morita which is a slow cooked pork dish, and i was obsessed. the only thing i'd say to pass on would be the tacos. drinks were also great and had amazing presentation. i was very satisfied with my carajillo and my friend's passion fruit mojito was also very tasty (you could NOT taste the alc in it i swear) overall, koko's is a great spot if you're looking to dress up for a cute night out but also craving some tasty mexican food.

    I've always wanted to check out D'la Santa. I always heard that Fri and Sats are always busy and…read morethey do not take reservations but walk-ins only. However, I just found out you can put your self on the waitlist on their website if it's busy. Sundays are the best days to go as it's not as busy and they were able to accommodate a big party. 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.

We went on a Sunday and I was really hoping to try the tiramisu and bone marrow, but they weren't available at the date and time we went (shed a tear). Still, what we ordered completely made up for it. We had the torta ahogada, costillita en salsa roja, and moyetes dulces and I was honestly blown away. They absolutely nailed the tortas ahogadas. They were so good we ordered three more to go. I would gladly drive that hour and a half again just to eat here. I'll definitely be taking pictures next time! Also great service, they're super nice and attentive.

So many of our regular spots had lines out the door, which was no surprise, but we ended up getting a table here. Figured Mexican food is hard to mess up. Started with drinks- THE BEST MARGARITA I HAVE EVER HAD. It was perfectly balanced, fresh, just perfect to me. My fiance got a horchata and loved it too. They have an option where you can try ALL of their dips for $20, which I couldn't resist. It was so fun, they had like 9 different ones! I got the shrimp tacos and they were so flavorful that I almost gasped. The creamy sauce, crunchy veggie toppers, smooth avocado, and perfectly cooked shrimp...just wow. I will be dreaming about this dish for years to come. I am a pescatarian and gluten free and there were TONS of options for me. They mostly use corn for everything, not flour. The staff was gracious and kind. They seemed a little understaffed but truly made the most of it and made every table feel attended to and special, which was so lovely.

I was disappointed to…read moresee that the menu has changed a lot (and not just seasonally, but just a completely different menu) since the last time I visited (maybe a year ago or so). Before it seemed like Maiz Molino was focusing on elevated, unique Mexican dishes (shown in the pics in my prior review such as short rib, and other sort of "fusion" dishes, and more seafood focused, etc.) Now, the menu seems way more generic and casual like enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tamales, etc. just offered w/ different proteins. They are still focusing on maiz but just a bit more generic in the preparation and offerings. Also, they had 2 separate menus which was a bit confusing. One is a generic all day menu and then another menu had brunch and dinner on it. It was around 5:30 p.m. but they were out of a particular steak dish that we were interested in. Service was friendly. We had enchiladas, a dip sampler (for appetizer) and Tlacoyos. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out, sadly. It wasn't very busy while we were there, so hoping that they are doing ok as a business. I would love to come back if they brought back the old menu w/ things that you cannot really find elsewhere, including the great cocktail menu and desserts that were offered previously.
