    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.

    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.

    Three out bottle tacos, and a small margarita
    Mariaha G.

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    $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."

    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.

    Pollo 44. Pollo a la Crema
    Wednesday A.

    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.

    12. Two Chile Rellenos
    Matt R.

    I recently discovered a love for Chili Relleno, and I had never been to this joint. I'm glad I gave them a shot. I got the #12, two Chili Rellenos with rice, beans and tortillas. The food was clearly fresh and hot. I forgot to ask if you could get picadillo in the chilis. Perhaps next time. I'll be back and you should try this spot!

(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.

The table also has two glass bottles of water for refilling as needed which I always appreciate. We started with the Bone Marrow and Queso Fundido and both were delicious. 10/10, no notes. I typically don't like Queso Fundido because it gets so greasy and the cheese hardens fast but this was flavorful, spreadable and the chorizo was a nice compliment not the main event. The Bone Marrow was exactly what you'd expect! So yummy. For our mains we got the Buenos Aires Torta (actually the reason we came to try Asadero) and the shrimp tacos. The bread for the Torta was flavorful and perfectly toasted. The steak was delicious and the chimichurri was so good I just wish there was more! My husband got the tacos and he said they were also very good! After we finished eating we were offered peppermint tea (complimentary) which was another really unexpected and unique touch/experience! The service from everyone was great. Very friendly. Quick service. The establishment was clean and so cozy but also upscale in a very chill way. Bathrooms were clean and smelled good with cute decor. It's not a huge place but I think that's what allows for such an attentive experience. From start to finish we really enjoyed ourselves and will absolutely be back with friends or family!

I'm usually a fan of a smaller, curated menu because it suggests care in sourcing and execution. But for us, the execution just didn't land. Everything is served family-style, but the portion sizes didn't justify the price point. We started with the sourdough and butter spread, and it was a letdown right away. The bread was hard as a rock, and the butter--while sounding interesting--came slightly burnt and didn't feel worth $11 for two pieces. Next was the albacore tuna tostada. As someone who travels to Mexico City often, I was genuinely excited for this. But it leaned heavily on avocado, with barely any tuna to balance it out. For $25 and only two tostadas, it felt pretty stingy. The rapini quesadilla sounded promising but ended up tasting mostly like broccolini and mushrooms--nothing that really stood out or justified the dish. We finished with the 21-day dry-aged steak, which, at $59, felt like it should've been a highlight. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. It came out essentially raw, which I didn't mind in theory, but it was incredibly chewy and lacked flavor. It was difficult to cut and even harder to enjoy. The tortillas were nice, and the demi-glaze had potential, but overall it just didn't come together. Even the refried beans on the side were underwhelming--something you could easily find done better at a casual spot. On the bright side, the mezcal margarita with a tajín rim was excellent--well-balanced and probably the highlight of the night. And the service was warm and attentive, which I appreciated. But overall, for the prices and the hype, this place just didn't do it for me. Maybe we ordered wrong, but I've had much better elsewhere. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be back.

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.

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!
