Lovely find while we were out. We had the Birria Tacos, Asada and Nopales Tacos. All the Tacos were amazing. I highly recommend the chipotle sauce as well. It is not to spicy but of so flavorful. Parking is a bit of bear but the restaurant is well worth it. If you get a chance to stop in for a quick bite or full meal you won’t be disappointed.

Atmos = Cute! We were the only customers on a Tuesday @ 6pm so felt a little empty and weird, but the fireplace, decor and music were all really enjoyable.
Water = I think the water is faucet since there was more of a chlorine taste than most filtered water around town.
Chips / Salsa / Guac = you have to pay for all 3 x individually… Most places will include the Salsa for free when ordering chips or just charge extra when including guac.. but the fact we had to pay for everything and they were all priced the same high amount felt like nickel and diming the customer before getting to the main. Quality / Flavor wise = chips are warm but nothing fancy texture wise; neither of us liked the salsa; and the guac was tiny and fine but again, nothing special.
Carne Asada Fries = BIG portion! Great toppings, well loaded, share for whole table. The texture of the fries wasn’t great, but the flavors were nice
Beef Lengua Tacos = two small Lengua tacos. Texture was good, very tender but lacking in flavor. Good portion of Lengua per taco
Carnitas plate = huge portion of meat, little on the salty side, can cut the salty flavor with other items. I took half the meat home as leftovers
P.s. I ultimately hunt for refried beans, this place has good ole classic family style refried beans

I ordered Birria with beef. It was amazing. As I m getting older, I need quality than quantity. The two barria tacos with a slice of lime was perfect amount and full of flavour. My taste buds are satisfied as well as my tummy. I cannot wait to try other food next time Thank you!!!

Had the adobo and al pastor tacos. Both were fine but the tortillas and meat were a little dry.
I’d still come back and try something g else before judging this place fully. It was late and I wanted tacos and this was close enough.
As noted by another review, I’m not paying for chips and salsa.

Kinda of a lackluster atmosphere even though it had such a fun decorated space. Though we paid 18 freaking dollars for 2 pretty normal birria tacos, which will not be doing ever again. They were good, so I cant take off too many stars, but $18??? The sauce added $6??? Why? Also took a while and had weird spaces for seating, wanted us to sit right in front of another party eating haha. But good vibes, the food was still good so yeah.

Oh boy where to even start.
Number one, if you have to PAY for chips and salsa that’s a red flag right there.
Number two, online said easy free street parking… You realize this is Seattle right off the highway (LITERALLY). No parking was found til two blocks away but we understood because it’s Seattle, but online shouldn’t say easy street parking.
3, you have to buy beans and rice SEPARATELY for 6$ EACH.
4, no kids menu, so had to order the small quesadilla.
5, I guess this is a pro in some ways but our food came within ten ish minutes but we couldn’t eat it for another 15 minutes cuz it was SO HOT you couldn’t hold the taco for longer than two seconds. The food was delicious eventually… thankfully.
6, bathroom you have to ask for them to unlock and it was TINY and dusty. Water pressure to wash your hands is horrible and you have to stand there for a few minutes so the water can actually clean off your hands. (Both men’s and women’s bathroom)
7, drinks… Where to start? No root beer or anything caffeine free. Mexican sodas of course. So we asked for water and when we received them it was lukewarm water with ice cubes that melted within a few minutes. Never have I been to a restaurant that the ice cubes melted before we finished the drinks. Had to ask for a refill later because we were never approached how we were doing or if we needed anything.
8, WARNING!! The pico, guac and salsa is really spicy and there’s even a sign that says that when you walk in.
9, the table was WARPED that one side was taller than the opposite seats and wasn’t secure to the ground. The whole table kept shifting at the slightest touch so the entire meal was us moving the table back and forth because itd move when we ate.
10 and last one but the serving size for asking for pico or quac (which is a few bucks by itself and youd think you’d get more…) is a TINY sauce bowl but I guess they think the spiciness of it makes up for the lack of what you get.
Overall, I personally wouldn’t believe the other reviews, it’s lying when it says 10-20$ per person. It’s literally like 10$ per ITEM on your plate. Ending up spending 85$ for my family of 3 and it was because we had to order beans and rice separately. The small quesadilla was 16$ and not to mention you have to pay for chips and salsa. I guess every single other Mexican restaurant I’ve been to spoiled people with free chips and salsa? We came in very hungry from doing the zoo for four hours and we weren’t expecting this at all. We had high hopes off it’s 4.7 rating.
So if you don’t care waiting, warped tables and paying for literally everything individually and small portions go ahead. We’re never coming again.

I really like this place! Food has always been really good. Reasonable prices. I like the decor and staff. It’s underrated because it’s next to Aurora but that really doesn’t hurt anything. It’s nice inside. Try it!

* : 8/10. A hidden gem! We went there for tacos Tuesday! And it was the best decision ever! The carnitas tacos are so perfect! Dry crispy and flavorful! And they give generous portions, with a lot of meats, onions and veggies. Honestly the best tacos I have ever had!
* : 7/10. Staff is really friendly and they are always willing to offer suggestion. It takes a while to get seated but we are a big group so I understand!
* : 7/10. Located in a very resident neighborhood! It was quiet, and honestly will be hard to find parking! But they do have curbside parkings so it would be really nice!
I really enjoyed the authentic decors! It is very Mexican like, and I feel like immersed in Mexico in this restaurant!

Had a great lunch after visiting the zoo. The food was so fresh. What the two sauces added on the top of good food was a surprising deliciousness to highlight the taste.

This place is fantastic with great food, quick service, and reasonable prices. We had fajitas and the fried taquitos and everything was delicious, zero complaints and the chips and salsa for $8 was really good with warm chips and a ton of zesty salsa, we will be going back!
