    Had a lovely time Monday evening meeting up with established and new friends at Tim's Tavern in the White Center area of Seattle. Tim's Tavern is an amazing establishment that has a completely separate vegan menu and offers live music or some form of entertainment on most nights. If that's not temptation for you, every Monday they offer a 15% discount on all vegan items!!! For Monday evening, we were treated to an eight round game of Trivia, with a very lively and energetic emcee, pitted against other tables/teams present at the restaurant. Did we win? Well, let me put it this way ... there were no losers as everyone walked away with a parting prize, I chose the Muppets "Animal" themed socks and my wife, "Corpse Bride". Their vegan menu is top notch, there's enough variety and decadence to rival that of any vegan menu regardless of the type of establishment. Perusing through the menu you'll find appetizers, burgers, sandwiches and hot dogs, tacos, salads, and sides. The food we tried was amazing. The Fried Cauliflower had a crispy exterior coating contrasted with a soft texture for the actual vegetable which combined, between the flavor and texture made for a delectable bite! The BBQ Pulled Shroom came with a refreshing side salad and the sandwich itself, between the tanginess of the sauce and pulled mushroom texture, truly astounding. I could go on and on but every dish we tried was equally as amazing in person as they are mouth watering and drool worthy in the pictures. Thanks so much for letting me share with everyone and I hope you're all able to make it out that way soon.

    Classic smashburger and fries

    Classic smashburger and fries. The fries were great, crispy and plentiful. The burger was good, but seemed to be missing something. Not sure what exactly...there may have been lettuce (can't remember), but maybe it was missing the crunch of a big slab of lettuce? Tasted good, and would definitely get again. Seemed just slightly overpriced

    Stopped in for a drink during a car show. First time in this bar and we were surprised at how cute this set up was in the back. Perfect day for outdoor patio seating. We had some shots and a couple margaritas. Drinks were quite spendy for as small as they were. Staff was really nice, both inside the bar/restaurant and outside bar. Also ordered a Seattle dog and some tots. Tots were good. Very crispy fresh out of the fryer. The Seattle dog was okay, nothing special and very underwhelming. They had a stage inside and outside and some pinball machines Will definitely come by again if/when we're in the area!

    Place was cool! I think the only thing that kinda took one star away was standing in-line to order food from the bar soon as you walk in? I just wanna sit down order & eat I maybe a brat for the slight practicality of that but the food and ambience was amazing! They have live music that was being set up soon as we walked in. The outdoor patio is really nice, it's clean & they have a cool bar converted airstream trailer in the back that makes it a unique vibe in the outdoor patio area. The wings were good!!! I'd come back

    Amazing! We arrived in Seattle late in the evening.... hungry.... Tim's Tavern was close by and so we went. The service is absolutely amazing!! And the beer... oh my heavenly goodness!!! I had the local Future Primitive IPA. So good!!!! Since it was late we ordered food from the Late Night Menu. The street tacos tasted amazing! I am so glad we found this place!!! 5 Stars well deserved!!!

    There is a ton of love about this place! The food is delicious and there are tons of exciting options for folks with various dietary restrictions. I loved the beet, Yes I said beet pastrami sandwich! My wife get the real pastrami and I liked mine better. The service is great, should put to Rachel! Super on it, warm and professional. We felt welcome at every turn with everyone we talked to. The trivia night is really fun, the host is one of the sweetest people ever and handed out candy! Shout out to Ellen with Sporcle Trivia. They do live music here and we haven't gone for that but will definitely return for more tasty food, Great drinks, lovely atmosphere and good times.

    Steak Tacos, $5 each, keys for size reference
    Victoria C.

    I just had dinner with my friends and have mixed feelings about this place. I ordered the tacos and they were delicious. BUT they were tiny street taco sized tacos and they were $5 each and low on filling with barely cooked tortillas. So, it was a very disappointing "meal." Taco Rant time First of all, it is absurd to charge $5 for tacos that are smaller than coaster. For reference at any taco truck these are the 75¢-$2 sized tacos. Secondly, even if the ingredients are high quality and thus expensive for the restaurant there _needs_ to be a disclaimer on the menu stating that the tacos are extremely small to prepare all guests.

    Great food, good live bands, and an impressive vegan menu. The vegan queso and Tim's Burger were both great.

The hushwe meat? Excellent. The carnitas are "out of this world" (ant Cowboy Bebop fans?). The guacamole felt home-made in the best way. My partner's spicy chicken tortilla soup was delicious -- spicy but not too much so, with a lovely smoky note to it. The service was quick and cheerful. They let us hang out for a few minutes and write our reviews and finish our Jarritos -- even after close. The ambiance was great: colorful, cheerful, and energetic without being overwhelming. The playlist was eclectic and very cool. We heard Lupe Fiasco, Deltron 3030, and hip hop from around the world. If you find yourself wandering around Ballard looking for a satisfying, cozy meal, you cannot go wrong with Lupe's Situ Tacos!

    This Goblin swears on all dark magic, that this spot has one of the best fish tacos in Seattle…read more Period. The salsa is fresh, the coating on the fish is crispy and light. The tortillas are fresh and full of corn flavor. The aguas frescas smack like my spiked club into your face. I first tried La Chingona on the road pillaging in Bellevue. I'm so glad I stepped away from the village burning for a second to try their delicious tacos. Is it more expensive than your typical Mexican Plato? Si. Does it taste better than your typical Mexican Plato in Seattle? Si. One other crucial detail. That taco will be buckling under the weight of the toppings. These are not skimpy servings. My shrimp taco was heavy enough to do curls with. Their service is friendly, and precise. To this date, I have never received the wrong order, cold food, a missing drink, etc. Expect hordes of people on the weekends, because you can count on one hand how many Mexican places taste like this in the PNW.

She was dressed in the most beautiful Día de los Muertos-inspired makeup and outfit, and she brought such a warm, welcoming energy to the whole experience. It really made the meal feel special from the moment we walked in. She took our order herself and surprised us with complimentary conchas on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. As someone who loves Mexican pastries, that instantly won me over. For food, I ordered the pozole and it was incredible rich, comforting, and full of flavor. My mom and sister got the fish tacos and they couldn't stop talking about them. Fresh, well-seasoned, and just really well done overall. This place made my mom's birthday lunch feel so memorable. Between the amazing food and the hospitality, we'll definitely be coming back for both the pozole and fish tacos again.
