Had such a great time at this cute bodega! It’s not my first visit, I’ve actually watched a few World Cup matches here in the past while visiting Seattle, and it always feels so welcoming.
The food is fantastic, small plates packed with flavor and the drinks are spot on, whether you’re looking for a good cocktail or something spirit-free.
Definitely worth stopping in and checking out if you’re in the neighborhood!

I had the best time here with my friend on Saturday. It was actually pretty quiet for a weekend and I definitely think more people should know about this place although I really wanna gatekeep it haha. It’s the perfect vibe, great atmosphere, great music, and I loved that it resembled an actual mercado with a variety of mexican candy and treats! They have special drinks for October and they were absolutely delicious and the bar tender was so kind, truly a great experience with great service❤️

$13+tax and tip for the tiniest burrito I’ve ever seen. Head up to Tacos Chukis and get the baby burrito for a more satisfying experience. I’ve never felt like I’ve gotten this bad of a value in Seattle. I could go on and on blah blah don’t bother coming here.
Points for atmosphere and nice plating I guess?

From the minute I stepped into this place there was so much liveliness and joy! I felt exactly like the saying, “mi casa es tu casa”. It’s both a Mexican store with cute trinkets that you would see in Mexican homes and a mini restaurant type of feeling without it feeling like you have to leave anytime soon or fast food. It’s a safe space for all. The owner is AMAZING! She is always there with a friendly smile that makes you feel like your part of the family. (Or as we say in Spanish, familia) Truly, only good things to say about this beautiful place! We also needed a Mexican store in Cap Hill. Plus their mangoniadas (virgin or w/alcohol) are , they are out of this world! I nearly go there everyday or any day they are open. Everything on the menu is phenomenal! They even have vegetarian options. So if your in the area it’s a must.

Nothing to call home about. Food wasn’t great -not bad, just not great. Tried nachos and a quesadilla, which I think it’s pretty hard to get wrong, and the felt like they were frozen dinners from Safeway.
Staff is super nice, and they have a mini market of Mexican sweets and some food items.

Omg! The place looked small, festive and simple. We were hungry and El Lugar was right in front of us. We eat usually Mexican food, but this place will surprise you in a good way. There was dish of nachos that came in a bag. Not impressed with the presentation, but it was the best nachos I ever had! We had also tamales, and a burrito. Everything else was delicious too! I highly recommended and will definitely go back there! Sorry no pictures of the food, it was gone in one second!

Cool place! I loved the vibe. All my Mexican favorites in one spot – candy, jumex, galletas Maria’s. Brings me back to my childhood memories of “la tiendita”. Bonus this one has a bar!! Saw this beautiful virgen had to have it! And the tamales were delicious. Definitely stopping by again when I’m in town. The owner is super friendly.

Delicious veggie rajas tamale that uses the freshest queso ice had in Seattle! The decor inside is quite authentic and took me back to Mexico. I love that they have unique items on their menu you can’t find elsewhere in Seattle. I wish some of them could be made vegan.
