Taquería Tequila - Super Burrito Verde! - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The beef enchiladas here totally hit the spot! Encased in tender corn tortilla, the ground beef is well-spiced and delicious! The rice and beans were satisfying as well. What's even better is that this place is totally casual. Even on a chilly day, you feel like you are transported to the warmer climes of Mexico with the sounds of Telemundo in the background. Overall, this is a great casual spot in Greenwood to chow down on Mexican food and the service was friendly! read more

Taquería Tequila - Enchiladas! - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We probably eat here at least two times a month. These days, I see a steady stream of food delivery people in and out. You have to order and pay up front. Self serve fountain drinks. They will bring your food to you. So, fine dining, it is not. It's all about the food. I really love everything on the menu. I love the chips and salsa. They have a whole salsa bar, but the regular red salsa is the best. The burritos are huge and the bomb. Carne asada plate is great. My wife always gets the chicken quesadilla. My friend often gets the tacos. The fried whole tilapia is fantastic. The pazole is awesome. Seriously, if you have never tried pazole, do yourself a favor and try it. read more

This place is perfect for cheap and delicious Mexican food. They serve big portions for about 10$ a plate which is perfect because I'm broke all the time. The people here are also super sweet and always make me feel welcome read more

Since I've moved here Sept 2018 I haven't really found good Mexican food. THIS IS THE SPOT! Their enchiladas were soo good. It didn't take forever, and there's a BAR!!

Visiting from Hawaii, and I gotta say... this was the best, most authentic/fresh-tasting Mexican restaurant we've ever eaten at here in Seattle. My husband and I said we'd definitely consider coming back next time we visit. My daughter ate all her food which says something, because she is VERRRY picky with her quesadillas. Also- The portions were huge and a lot of great selections. Place was clean and staff were nice and helpful. read more

Oooh! Taco, taco! We practically moved to Greenwood just so we could visit this place more easily. The ingredients in the soft tacos are always super fresh, and the price for them are amazing. Their chips and salsa are the best we've found in all of Seattle. As a vegetarian, I usually get the cheese quesadilla and add peppers & onions. I'm not keen on their "vegetable burrito" options--the stuffing of chopped broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower feel like they came from a frozen bag. So, just stay clear of the "vegetarian" options by building your own dishes, and you'll be fine. My vegan and gluten-intolerant friends always eat here easily, too. Their horchata is PERFECT and their giant margaritas always a delight. I'm a big ambiance fan, so I also love the carved wood booths, the constant airing of Telemundo, the plastic cerveza flags, and all the vibrant colors. All of the staff are extremely nice, greeting everyone amigos and amigas. My only complaint is that I go so often, you'd think I'd get a glimmer of recognition when I walk in. It's nice to feel bonded with the establishment when you're a regular. Although super nice, the staff here obviously aren't looking to be buds. Not a huge deal, though, and I'll keep going back again and again. read more

Taquería Tequila - Vegetarian feast! - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Got almost all their tacos (7 diffent kinds) and a flan and it was good! Covid friendly. I have a soft spot for good flan and this one was eggy with the Carmel glazing that was just sweet enough and not overpowering sweet. I didn't feel heavy with sweetness afterwards. Exactly how I love my flan! The tacos were good. The shrimp taco wasn't overdone and cooked just enough. They had the tripitas and I never had it as a taco so gave it a try. It was how I would expect tripe to taste - you need the acquired taste but for me, it was good :) also had the adoba, chorizo, asada, lengua (tongue), and fish tacos. It came with 3 diffent kind of sauce of different degrees of spiciness. Warning to taste a little of them before putting it on your taco. From the most mild to most spicy: green sauce, red sauce, orangey colored sauce. Thank goodness for the sour cream to help my burning mouth after accidentally putting too much of the orange colored sauce on my taco. I will definitely go back again. read more

Best cheap Mexican in the area hands down. I always get my vegetarian burrito vegan no problem. Everything is fresh & large portions. Been coming here for years & it is consistently delicious. You won't be disappointed! read more

Ordered a chipotle burrito and kids burrito meal. Asked for carne asada and sour cream on the side with the burrito, and sauce on the side with the kids burrito. I was given a chipotle burrito with ground beef, no pico de gallo and no sour cream, and with the kids meal no cheese in the burrito and no sauce on side. Okay, shit happens. I called, asked to pick up the correct order and went and got it. Came home and my chipotle burrito had no guacamole, no pico de gallo, hardly any sauce, no cheese, and meat they swore was carne asada but still looked like ground beef. And if that is their carne asada, it's the worst carne asada I've ever seen/tasted at a Mexican restaurant before. Was severely disappointed. I've ordered before with a shrimp chipotle burrito and chicken chipotle burrito and same kids order, never had issues before. Maybe I just ordered on a bad night? All I know was that for over an hour of hassle and going to the restaurant with two young kids which I was trying to avoid, I still didnt get what I wanted. read more

The food is great and the beer is nice and cold

This is without a doubt my absolute favorite place to get Mexican in Seattle HANDS DOWN! Its a bit of a hole in the wall, and the parking lot is a little awkward, but once you are inside with the cheap tacos and the salsa bar, you will think you have died and gone to Mexican food heaven! Sit in the bar if you want to watch soccer or an entertaining telenovela. The TV is always on a Spanish channel and the characters in the bar never disappoint! Pros Cheap and delicious tacos Rainier in the bottle! (puzzle caps!) 3-4 Mexican beers on draft Cons Nada! read more

Durango burrito tasted great. I thought it would be heavier but it was surprisingly light. Salsa bar was good. That combo definitely makes it on the top burrito list for Seattle. Menudo could have had more flavor from the bit hat I tried. From what I was told, the corn tortillas are delicious and probably made in house. It's a bit out of the way for me but I could see myself coming back if I was in the neighborhood. read more

I'm a taco freak, and while there are plenty of taco trucks in the Seattle area where you can find a god taco there are fewer sit down places where they do them right. Taqueria Tequila is such a place. The tacos are cheap, the meat high quality and cooked perfectly, plus there's a great salsa bar complete with pickled carrots & radishes. The rest of the food is mediorce-to-good, with the obligitory orange rice and mushy fried beans. Do treat yourself to a margarita however - they're huge and tasty. I'd give this place four stars but every time I go in there their huge TV is blaring either professional wrestling or soap operas. Really headache inducing, people. If you really can't turn it off for the love of god please turn closed captioning on. read more

Delicious, authentic, fast, affordable Mexican food.

Fast service, good food, I like their salsa and rice very much. The staff speaks Spanish too and they are very friendly! Convenient parking lot too! Will visit again. read more

I've seen this spot for a few years of living in the area and finally stopped in. We got the fajita de res and birria tacos, which were both super hot and fresh! I loved the salsa bar that they have, and everything hit the spot just right. read more

Got sick from lady not washing her hands I think. She's in the middle of eating then licks her fingers and walks up to the counter to serve me my food. What the fizzuck? Never came back here ever again. Shame because I love their food. read more

Thought the food here was kinda good till I saw a huge rat run out of the kitchen. When I noticed this I looked around and found that the place had not just one it had many. If your a pet lover this is the place for you. read more

Normally we have always been very happy with this place but I guess we are never ordering from here again. We ordered delivery through bite squad as we typically do and have never had an issue, but this time when our food arrived I noticed the tostada de camaron had rotten avocado slices on it. I mean they actually put an avocado that is black on my food and called it good. When I called to let them know the guy gave me a very insincere apology. Nope that's gross and I definitely dont trust the rest of the food anymore. read more

I haven't eaten small tacos at more than 5-10 Mexican restaurants/taco trucks, but these are up there! I had 2 chicken, beef, and steak tacos. The steak come with cilantro and onion. The chicken with rice and pico de gallo. The beef have lettuce, pico de gallo, and cheese. All worth trying, and at an average price (ok, maybe a little overpriced). Also, the chips and salsa are pretty good too! This place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Taquería Tequila - Steak, chicken, and beef tacos! Jarritos lime to go with some tasty chips and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Amazing value for price. One of my favorite stops in the area and the staff is always incredibly friendly.

My mom and I went in today to eat and try this new place. We were around the area and wanted Mexican food. Well we ordered two menudos, a side of rice for my toddler, and one carne asada taco for my other child, chips and guac, and then three Mexican bottle sodas for drinks and total was $75!!!!!! We aren't eating at a fancy restaurant! It's a taqueria, wtf! I went back in to ask why it was so much (my mom paid and didn't feel comfortable with asking- so I did) and the lady working there told me that the menudo is 16.99 (even though price said 13.99 for this on the sign) then plus $2 extra for the hominy in it and that the Coca Cola bottles are $5 each!!! Lady was also NOT welcoming or too kind since as soon as we walked in. Never eating there again and not worth the money. Still doesn't make sense why total was $75!! read more

After moving to Seattle, I realized the Mexican food scene here was lacking. I moved to Greenwood about a year and a half ago and discovered this little gem down the street. I've only gotten their tacos and they are top notch, quality, street tacos. My favorite options are the adobada and carnitas. Top them with the hot red salsa and the smooth, fresh, green salsa and they are GOLD! Sometimes I switch it up and add a side of rice and beans and they taste just like my grandmas. Only issue is one time they gave me chorizo instead of adobada but it was probably an honest mistake. Takeout is always fast and service is always friendly. They have good, large margaritas as well, if you decide to stay. When I asked for spicy, the bartender/owner (I think), made it spicy. read more

5 stars if you order the right thing. street tacos are great. carne asada are my favorite. had their pozole the other night, and it was incredible. great flavor! read more

I don't give a _____ about $1 tacos. I'm sure they're great and all, but what I come to Taqueria Tequila for (over and over again) is the pozole. A big a** bowl of the stuff with tons of pork and hominy and a huge plate of onions, cilantro, and radishes that you can toss in there.... it's SO good. I've tried bites of other dishes here and the refried beans and rice here are awesome! They're housemade and they're fantastic. The service is prompt and the staff is very polite. Cheap, fast, and very, very tasty... Maybe I should be eatin' dollar tacos... I dunno. But for now, i stick with pozole.. and an occasional order of churros (they're made fresh here too)! read more

Great refried beans, Batman! No really, they're excellent! It's very hard to find good refried beans in the northwest, so when you find them, it's natural to want to latch on. Authentic consistency and just the right amount of salt. Mmmm. I also really liked the rice (which I recommend covering with the spiciest salsa from their salsa bar), cheese enchilada, and beef burrito I ordered. My dining companion really liked her taco combo as well, though she was disappointed that the chicken was so juicy it disintegrated the soft corn tortillas it was wrapped in. The chips and salsa were also quite good. Surprisingly, the only disappointment at Taqueria Tequila was the (house) margarita. It was muy terrible! I don't think it was the tequila's fault though. The mix tasted like it must have been concocted from lime Pixy Stix and antifreeze. I'd recommend opting for a top-shelf margarita with fresh lime juice or a Mexican beer if you're looking for a drink. read more

Oh boy do I love tacos! Sometimes I will sit at work and think about tacos and then yell out, "TACO!" with a teardrop rolling down my cheek. Everyone in my office looks at me like I'm insane. Taqueria Tequila makes a pretty tasty chicken taco. Shredded chicken with rice, tomato, onion, and your choice of salsa on a warm tortilla (who wants a cold tortilla?) makes a delicious combination. I ordered three of those bad boys and a side order of chips and salsa. Half way through the chips and salsa I realized I was pretty full but it tastes too damn good to stop eating. The salsa was hot, and it felt like my mouth was on fire when I walked home. It's an addiction man! But please, don't leave your plates on the table when you are done. Give them to the nice man behind the counter. I am sure he would appreciate it. Zipzap Zubidy Bop! read more

So, I've reviewed Tequila before, very positively I might add, but today, this ends. Well, actually, the other day it ended, but now my relationship with my former favorite Seattle taqueria is officially over. Sad, sad day. Enticed by the Happy Hour, we stopped in the other day for $1 tacos. Mmm, dollar tacos!!! Small sidenote, only a few of the tacos are actually $1, which are only $1 any time of the day, any day of the week. Our favorite, the fish tacos, are still $2.10, oh wait, I mean $2.30, though the pricing on the menu states otherwise.... this later becomes a point of confusion. After realizing that the "Happy Hour" prices were just a dupe, I was a little annoyed, but hey, good food at a good price? Can't argue with that. We had become regulars at Tequila, and I think it must have been our 3rd visit that week when we came in for Happy Hour, and the bill was almost double what it should have been. Ordering quite a few items, it was difficult to decipher whether the amount was correct or not, and surprise, no itemized bill, so it was impossible to figure what had been charged. The only conclusion that I could come to was that we were charged the normal rate for beer, almost TRIPLE the happy hour price!!! I was a little put out by this, as we come here all the time, and the guy must recognize us by now, right??? I guess not? At any rate, an $9 meal turned into like $17. The saga continues! We decided to come back to Tequila one more time, to see if maybe it was an honest mistake, operator error, what have you. Always give the benefit of the doubt, right? This time, we came prepared, ready to order, and armed with the exact correct tender that should have been charged. Only, wait, it isn't enough, because we were overcharged, AGAIN!!!! We decided if it happen, which we planned on, we'd contest it until explained, not that you want to do that to the people making your food, of course :-) . The lady was nice about it, and eventually, out came the debit card to pay the inflated price, but ultimately to our displeasure. Even niftier, when we contested, she produced an itemized receipt, just what I (had) wanted!!! Not that anyone cares (well, you're still reading, aren't you?? Aren't you!!!), but the soft drink gets overcharged like you bought a bottled soda, and the other menu items have gone up in price since they made there menu, so everything is actually more expensive than listed. This is straight bullshit. Change the menu if you're going to raise the prices!!! It's not much, sure, maybe we got overcharged $2, but times are tough and the budget doesn't budge, despite its namesake.... All said and done, we paid the inflated price, those precious extra pennies, big deal. It's not. Running an honest business however, is important to me. I'd pay more for the food if I didn't get overcharged for it. Plain and simple. I tipped a dollar anyways, even after realizing that it wasn't a mistake; we'd been taken, twice. Consider it my most sincere "Adios", Tequila! Thanks for listening. read more

I just got to try their chilies rellenos. Oh. My. God. Delightfully dark green Anchos with a mild stretchy cheese in, so-so egg batter without and perfectly cooked. Became sublime with the addition of a dab of their bright red salsa. The boy had the child's plate quesadilla which is only 3.95, and comes with your choice of meat (in this case full of moist chicken breast - not nasty thighs or mystery 'chicken') and rice and beans. What a deal! I had tacos with lengua (tongue) and they were great. If you like tongue....SUPER tender and delightful. Again, these guys are really friendly. I asked the guy running the counter about the rellenos and he happily chatted away telling me how they come to be, and how they do everything fresh there every day - no freezer! I can't wait to go back again and try the tortas and horchata - which I noticed too late. Mmmmm, tongue! read more

We came here for dinner before going to Chuck's for beer. Everything was good. Tacos are cheap at $2.20 each. Not quite taco truck prices but inexpensive and they have more filling than what you get at a truck in my experience. I had 2 asada tacos (tons of steak in each one) and the rice and beans for $8 with tax. Not bad at all price-wise and it tasted good. I wouldn't hesitate to come back for dinner. I don't think it's a destination Mexican joint but if you're in the area it's tasty, satisfying, and reasonably priced. It's casual. They bring your food to you and your silverware but it's more a counter service place. You pay when you order. They serve alcohol including cheap margaritas! I need to come back and find out if they use a sugary mix or not. It's like $6.75 for a 20 oz. Sounds dangerous. read more

Server #1 hates Server #2. Server #1 kept coming around to all of the tables grumbling about Server #2.... It's a possibility one of these men is the owner. I just happened to have enough alcohol in me not to be perceptive enough to figure out which was which. They were amusing - luckily no one ended up with horchata or a wicked hot carne asada plate all over them. Lots of choices here... stick to the carne asada if you are looking for the flavor factor, and I'd agree with the other yelpers to stick to the tacos/rice/beans. Alcohol fueled hunger lead to over-ordering. Two tacos + rice & beans + one basket of chips + two bowls salsa + tamales (reminded me of canned tamales, no thanks) + giant torta = me feeling very uncomfortable for the remainder of the night , a horrific food baby, and the cause of my belches to become more and more foul as the evening progressed. Sorry to be so graphic, but.... it's the facts, folks. I really am a delicate flower. Their salsas are actually spicy! DEFINITELY try. read more

Best Tacos in Seattle. No bullshit. It reminds me of the tacos you can get along the Texas border. I've struggled to find mexican food in Seattle that I get excited for...believe me, I've tried. Order 2-3 tacos minimum...they are small. Loved the pork and carne asade tacos.... chicken was good too, but not great. Beans and rice were solid...hard to screw that up. Nice selection of tequilas and great little salsa bar too. read more

Acabo de ordenar dos tacos de pescado y uno de camarón. La señora tomando mi orden estaba distraída platicando con un hombre que estaba parado ahí por al menos una media hora y no me repitió la orden. El recibo que me regresaron solo decía el total y no la orden. Una orden de 3 tacos me costó $17 y le di tip de $5. Cuando llegue a mi carro vi que me dieron 2 tacos de asada en lugar de pescado. Quería comérmelos de todos modos pero la carne estaba demasiada seca. Decidí entrar y pedir los de pescado de todos modos abre si al menos si con un lugar bueno de mariscos y de tacos. Los tacos estaban bastante mojados y los tacos son de pescado partido pero no de pescado frito enpanisado como tacos de pescado son Normalmente. read more

2 tacos de lengua y 2 de carnitas! Muy rico. Taqueria Tequila has tacos reminiscent of Mexico just like Taqueria La Estacion and a few other places in Western Washington. Plus, they are dirt cheap...$.99-1.75. The tortillas are homemade and the meat preparation is high quality. Their menu is ambitious with things like coctel de camarones, huevos a la Mexicana, chorros, and flan. Plus, there are a ton of combination plates and other things here too...and a wide assortment of beers including...mmm...Bohemia. I recommend keeping it simple and ordering the tacos though. Also please take some of the other reviews with a grain of salt about this place. Neither mission food (burritos) nor chips and salsa are common in Mexico... They barely exist there. I prefer Mexican street foods. Eso es todo! read more

After a most horrific experience, I felt that I needed to review this place. Now, I'm a Mexican, I grew up with beans all the time, and I know that nothing is going to be as good as my Grandpa's, but I love a cheap authentic hole in the wall as much as the next person (I'm a veggie after all, you shouldn't be able mess up the beans at a Mexican joint!). This food was SO BAD, we threw it out. We had three sep meals, they were all HORRIBLE. First off, let me explain the bean situation -- bland as hell, no flavor. This was a major disappointment... Next, the cheese -- it's that cheap cheese you get at Domino's pizza (that has to say "REAL cheese" on the package, because it looks and tastes so nasty, you're not sure what the white brick of goo really is). Seriously, it was FOUL. The veggies were ok, we had a veggie quesadilla, but just not interesting. When's the last time you had cauliflower, broccoli & carrots in a quesadilla?? NEVER. Usually, it's zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, roasted tomatoes, etc. I'm sorry, this was such a bad experience for us, I felt it was just a shame that other people would go and spend money on this. It came up to $28 for 3 dishes, which isn't bad, but I can tell you, it's QUANTITY not QUALITY. I don't want a gigantic burrito that tastes like s***. I want a normal sized burrito that is flavorful, authentic with quality ingredients. The End. read more

Favorite Mexican in N. Seattle. Huevos rancheros, saves my hungover life on the weekends.
