The food here is great, I got enchiladas, pupusas, a tamale & horchata. The horchata was not great it tasted like a mixed horchata powder drink and was missing a lot of cinnamon. The tamale, enchiladas & pupusas were all delicious! Service was great, the decor was nice. read more

I enjoyed a nice lunch last week in Seattle at this location. The food is very affordable and very fresh. It is a very straightforward simple approach to Mexican food that is being provided at this location. I highly recommend it, so check it out on your next opportunity to Seattle. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! read more

Why is it so hard to find good Mexican food in Seattle? Another place that affirms my complaint. I wanted some tacos so I came in. Sophie's is a super cute place that sits right on busy 35th. The Safeway is across the street. Parking is available in the back of the building and its not the best. It was quiet and not too crowded when I went in. I remember it being pretty dark in there. They should brighten the lights. Service was decent, but nothing special. I could tell that this is a family run business, which makes me sad to give a negative review, but the critiques are based on the food. It wasn't good. I ordered an al pastor taco and a pork tamale. The al pastor was dry and lightly seasoned. The best part was the grilled pineapple. The tamale was unrecognizable and mushy on the inside. It couldn't hold its shape and started to break apart. Big disappointment. I won't be back but I am glad that the community supports this place. read more

Stopped by to grab food to go and had a great meal! On a Saturday at 620p they were out of a few items, which was a good sign to us.. fish tacos were great, but the veggie tacos were amazing. The pineapple pork was a favorite as tacos and a bowl for our friends. Dessert wise - Churros came in thick vanilla ice cream and the plantains were decadent. Party of 7 and everyone loved their food. Would 100% come back! read more

Probably my favorite spot for veggie-friendly, authentic latin food. I adore their pupusas, their taco plate is tasty as heck, and the tamales are bomb when you can get them. I love that I have multiple options for vegetarian food when I go, and they're all fantastic dishes in their own right! The pricing is super reasonable - instead of big combo platters you're more likely to order a few separate things, which makes it easy to be budget and portion friendly read more

SERVICE FOCUSED RATING! They advertise that they're open till 8:30p, I stopped in at 7:45p & the doors were locked, lights & signs were off and they were cleaning up. The food may be great here, it may not - but I won't be finding out today - that's for sure! Be open whatever hours you want, just be sure to be open when you say you're open! Closing early (flex closing?) is the kiss of death for establishments! Whatever you save in the short will undoubtedly cost you in the long run! read more

I went it to this restaurant today order 8 tacos and one one drink when I got home I I did the math over again and realized she over charged me by 13.50. Not only that she gave my husband a free taco trying to flirt with him. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. My total should have been 32.50. Instead it was 46, And some change. Not only that they were talking shit in the back which isn't hard to hear when the kitchen is in the same room as the seating area and no other customers are in there. Also I speak Spanish. Really should be more carful on the things you say very poor customer service. I promise you this is not a joke in anyway. read more

We finally tried this place after driving by it every day for years and definitely regret not going sooner! The food was remarkable and the owner was so sweet. We loved it so much, we ordered Togo food to take to some neighbors so they get hooked on Sophie's asap too. We got the revueltas pupusas, asada tacos and an agua fresca (I'm spacing on the flavor we ordered) - all were so flavorful. There were also plenty of small plate/side options of quesadilla, bean/cheese burrito, rice, beans and tater tots to help us put together some kids plates for our littles. We parked in the neighborhood a block east and walked up, but realized there was plenty of parking available right below their building. There was also more seating inside than I had expected, based on the storefront size. They seemed to have a healthy Togo business rocking while we were there and our food still came out very quickly. Give it a shot if you haven't tried yet or haven't tried again since they first opened a couple years ago. I hope this place gets to stick around Wedgwood for a long time! read more

Okay, it's a new restaurant, there's still a pandemic, the world is upside down etc. Still, it's been open for a week and obviously they should have done some prep and training first. We ordered and waited 40 minutes, watched other people getting their orders, before finally asking about our food - got a dismissive response and finally got our food with no apology 10 minutes later. the No Cilantro request resulted in twice as much cilantro two out of six items received were not what we ordered Pupusas are greasy and apparently prefabricated taco Salad? Really? food was generally bland "Pan-American" menu is almost entirely food court Mexican food (they do also serve pupusas and tamales) tortillas taste like they came from Safeway They get the second star for having tater tots on the menu - not that we ordered them and why on earth are they on the menu?

Had a steak Tata Burrito and a horchata to go. Set me back $19. Didn't bother to check how much the horchata was, but let's say it was a $13 burrito. The meat tasted like it was boiled. I wasn't given any salsa. Overall I would say it was an "okay" burrito. Not even good. Especially not $13 good. Horchata was good though. read more

I ordered a burrito to go. There wasn't any salsa, guac, sour cream, or meat in the first quarter of the burrito. There was too much rice and for some time I just kept eating rice and beans wrapped in tortilla. The actual surprise was when I passed half way through and finally was happy to find some meat and sauce. But there was a catch! A long hair stuck way back that I couldn't just pull it off. Though I was still hungry, that was it. All in all, terrible experience. I keep trying to support local businesses but this is just unacceptable on multiple levels. read more

Delicious food, quick and friendly service and a very reasonable price point - what's not to love? Tried a little bit of everything and really enjoyed it all. The pork tamale was one of the most flavorful ones I'd ever had, with chunks of meat and a delicious sauce that had some heat and was well seasoned. The pupusa was the star of the show - definitely get these if you're here! The pickled veggies served alongside complimented the cheese / dough / protein combination really well and was served piping hot. We enjoyed our Sophie's tacos too - the Barbacoa and the homemade chorizo were a bit greasy but to be expected and the Al pastor was solid. Also recommend the horchata - very cinnamon-y and creamy. We were in the area and decided to check out Sophie's on a whim and were so happy we did. The owner was super nice and answered all my questions / gave me some recommendations on his favorite dishes, which helped make it easy to narrow down what to order. read more

let's just say that this filled me up with so much food i didn't eat for the next 22 hours…read more for the price (only 12 dollars) that's a ridiculous portion size where to even start these seemed to be soft tacos, but with a full melted cheese covering on both sides of the shell i would say that's my only slight disappointment - that these weren't really crispy at all - there was no real crunch when i would bite into one of them - rather it was just slightly harder than a soft taco the cheese did add a great flavoring to the outside though - making this more than a normal taco shell each taco was absolutely overflowing with stuffing - it got to the point where the plate became another full meal by itself from everything that fell out of the taco the two main components of each taco were the cheese and the chicken the cheese was so perfectly melted - may have been the best cheese in a taco i've ever had it created such a satisfying cheese pull every time you took a bite - and it was one consistency throughout, meaning every time you took a bite you had to pull the cheese away from the rest of the taco - which was just fantstic as for the chicken - i was slightly disappointed that it wasn't spicy in the slightest. However, it still tasted like it had a really nice flavor, and had a soft interior. It being actually spicy would've moved this dish up a lot, though each taco was primarily made out of this chicken - and there was so much of it it was practically insane - but I loved this amount shoutout to the onions as well - they were great I asked for the habanero sauce - which i thought was ok - wasn't spicy at all and didn't add much flavor. will go with another sauce next time tried mixing in some taco bell fire sauce which was interesting i love that these came wrapped in aluminium foil to preserve heat. a great touch overall, as far as taste, these were pretty good, but when you consider the amount of meat you're getting, along with overall portion size - it's simply a fantastic meal.

It's hard for me to admit...... but this was actually my first time trying mole lol…read more I'm a sucker for Mexican food (just all food if we are keeping it 100 lmao) so I knew it'd be fire no matter what.... What I don't expect was for the quesadilla portions to be HUGE lol. Considering the taste + portions + reasonable pricing, I'd rec this joint any day if you're craving some take out mex

Carnitas Michoacán may have taken the crown as my favorite Mexican food in Seattle. They have…read moreeverything you could ever want at a Mexican restaurant, and many that you've probably never tried before. I knew going in that I had to try their carnitas, but it was the other dishes that impressed me the most. The quesabirria was top notch. If you haven't had one before, it's as if a quesadilla and a taco had a beautiful baby - and the tortilla is dipped in the sauce that the meat is cooked in. The cheese is plentiful and delicious, it's a blanket that I've to take a nap in. I was a bit thrown off by the chunks of birria, most places shred it up. But I would say that it was much more juicy than the shredded version, I was blown away. This comes with some awesome roasted jalapeños and onions. The carnitas taco was excellent. For a street taco, they load it up with meat. It's a very traditional taco, so just carnitas, onions, and cilantro on a tortilla. But if you have the opportunity to eat here you should, they have an extensive taco bar with everything you need. The star of the show for me was the tostada de camarón. You just don't get them like this elsewhere in Seattle. Shrimp, mango, jalapeño, and avocado are all diced up to provide even distribution on a crunchy tostada. It's an exquisite bite every time. And there's a sweet sauce on it that makes the whole dish blend together so well. Carnitas Michoacán is a MUST visit if you're in the area. There's also a little market and carnicería next door that has some incredible food if you're making Mexican dishes at home, or if you just want some massive chicharrones.

I was craving some tacos, so came in to try their carnitas and al pastor tacos. You order at the counter and find a seat. The tacos came out quickly too. Both the Al pastor and carnitas were very delicious. A bit on the salty side though. I did very enjoy their salsa bar which helped tone down the saltiness. Overall, a solid spot for some Mexican fare. Big plus for their expansive menu and solid pricing.
