    I have frequented this establishment for over 10 years, and have never been disappointed. Very large menu to choose from, and this family owned business has kept the same staff for as long as I can remember. The carnitas tacos are amazing, and a large beer selection to pair them with.

    Caldo de Res

    Absolutely Disgusting . 3 baby roaches fled from the bag upon unpacking the soup itself . Once I attempted to remove the lid from the container the soup was filled to the brim of the container I couldn't even open it without being burned by scolding hot broth. No corn or tortillas were included with this 19$ soup ... Meat was grey and over cooked super chewy not tender whatsoever. Couldn't even bother throwing in a couple hot sauce packs . You can tell they could just really care less about the quality of their food . It's a Scam restaurant please go elsewhere.

    Three out bottle tacos, and a small margarita

    This place is one of the most authentic places I've had in Seattle so far. The flavors are amazing and it's true to the culture. I highly recommend their margaritas and trust me a small is all I got and it was amazing. They're not messing around with portions either their tacos are filled and so flavorful and same with all their drinks! The service was outstanding so nice and smiling the entire time they created a perfect dining ambience! Will be coming back!

    Taco Birria

    Any place that has tripas, or tripitas, they call here, I will want to try. I got three tripitas tacos, and we also got Taco Birria, Taco Salad, and Super Nachos. Everything was good; no complaints here.

    Been coming here for lunch since I first had it, their portio/cost ratio is better than many other places around here.

    $5 worth of chips

    This was a great place for a long time, until one of their regular workers continually had a bad attitude and now I refuse to come back here. I order lunch burritos here all the time and the same employee just always has a bad attitude. I always tip them, I always smile and this employee just hates her life, clearly. After paying full price $19 for 1 burrito (they no longer offer the lunch special) I asked for a small side of chips. She laughed and said no. I asked if I could buy them and she continued to argue with me about me not having ordered them. I ended up paying $5 for a child's side bag of chips, happily. Unfortunately, I am not as happy to say I won't be back. No matter how good the food is, I refuse to be disrespected time and time again when coming into this "establishment."

    Taqueria Tequila hit the spot when I was tuned up for some enchiladas. I was so hungry I even got an additional couple of Tacos. Got one of their IPAs to sip along with it. Everything hit the spot. Molè enchiladas weren't the best I've had, but very good otherwise. The chorizo Tacos I feel could've been a bit more hearty for the price but were also good nonetheless. No free chips and salsa like some restaurants have is a tiny let down too and is always a nice touch. What I do like is the ginormous menu when you walk in, similar to a fast food restaurant where you look up at it and tell the cashier what you want. You can even just tell them the number to help with possible language barriers. There over 150 choices on it from the usual stuff to things unique to Taqueria Tequila probably as it's a combo or something Overall, a solid Mexi restaurant with much of what you'd expect.

    Pollo 44. Pollo a la Crema

    This place is underrated AF. I'm constantly ordering them from Grubhub and they are consistent every. single. time. Great prices for the quality of food (I hope this doesn't change any time soon)! Alexander Plate is my FAVE But the pollo la crema and tacos here are also bomb. The pictures I've seen posted on here of their tacos do NOT do them justice. Plus they actually answer the phone if I have questions about the menu, need to add something to my order, etc. My ONLY complaints: Their Pozole is way too oily (I know it's supposed have a lil fat from the meat, since it's puerco, but not this much- I'm literally Mexican) and lacks salt but that's easily fixed at home + limon. That and they don't give you enough salsa for the amount of chips they send when you order chips & salsa. Just give me one medium or large sized container instead of 4+ tiny little cups that will often break open in the bag. However, the fact that they provide you with ALL the sides one would need for pozole, including cabbage NOT lettuce (gag) like some of these other places, ruled out any negatives for me along with the price. Fire. Other than those minuscule things, I love this place, and the people! Wish I took more pics of all the dishes I've ordered from here, all BOMB.

    If you're looking for good Mexican food, this is it! They're quick and it's authentic. When I went, there was a stack of to go orders they were waiting to be picked up and no dine in customers. Though they' decorated the restaurant in cute Christmas decorations. What I liked best was the tortilla! It was nicely toasted and held up! The tacos had a decent amount of meat. Rice beans was good side to wrap up the meal.

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.

It was sweet, as expected, but not overly sweet. We got pan dulce with the coffee and both the concha and puerquito were fantastic.

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

    Listen, I'm vegetarian and can't enjoy all the bites on the menu -- and I can tell you right now,…read moreI'd wait outside in the rain to eat the veggie bites, drinks, and desserts they offer.

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.
