GRACIA is the Spanish translation for the word grace. Chester Gerl’s vision for Gracia is founded on his deep admiration and reverence for Mexican culture and cuisine. A palate cultivated by his many years of travels across Mexico, growing up in Long Beach, California and his tenure in Seattle and New York kitchens, Gerl strives to create dishes reflective of his personal experiences. Sourcing pure and honest ingredients, he preserves and honors the history and techniques of traditional Mexican cuisine. Gerl imports non-GMO, heirloom corn varieties from Oaxaca, Mexico, then nixtamalizes the kernels in house; the result, fresh masa. Masa, the foundation and heart of his menu, produces distinctly nuanced, earthy flavors that are reflective…

We came here for brunch and Gracia delivered. Service was friendly and not intrusive. The food was executed well. We ordered the Tlacoyo con huevos, a burrito bowl with lengua, and a pork belly taco. The pork belly was my favorite – it was crispy outside and tender on the inside. Pricing is a bit higher than typical Mexican restaurants. However, the quality of the food was top notch. Will definitely come back again.

Gracia in Ballard is an easy five-star spot for Mexican food in Seattle. The vibe is cozy and lively without being too loud, and it feels like a great place to hang out with friends or go for a casual date night.
The food tastes super fresh and flavorful, and the prices feel very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Their tortillas are made to order, and you can really taste that warm, fresh-made difference in every bite. The tacos are big, loaded with fillings, and honestly, a couple of them can be a full meal.
Their in-house sauces are awesome. They are really flavorful with just the right amount of kick to level up anything you are eating. I also loved their hot fruit punch. It’s a perfect cozy drink on a cold Seattle winter night.
Don’t skip dessert: the churros are unique and super good. They fry them in a donut shape, make them fresh to order, and serve them with warm chocolate sauce. They have just the right amount of sweetness and are the perfect way to finish the meal.

Stopped by on a whim. The atmosphere is nice, server was fantastic. Now the food…that’s where we were left dissatisfied. We’ll start with the good: the chips and salsa are fantastic. Now the bad: We ordered the carne asada which comes with papas bravas. We ordered the meat cooked medium, and we got medium well. This is a pet peeve of mine so I wasn’t so thrilled but at least it was still O K as I didn’t feel like sending it back. Whatever the sauce under the meat was saved it. Now to papas bravas…this item clashed so so much with the meat it felt like they shouldn’t be served together. It was very jarring to my taste buds and just not a good pairing flavor-wise. Also they just were not good at all. We left them untouched. Underwhelming food that is NOT worth the price, but great service.

3.5 stars, we got the quesadilla, fish taco, burrito bowl with pork shoulder.
Food looked great, and ingredients were high quality, but tasted kind of mid. $7 for a taco, but was very forgettable. Burrito bowl: the rice and the “soft-boiled” egg were both very undercooked.

I visited Gracia in Ballard yesterday and was genuinely impressed. I was surprised at how truly authentic everything tasted, it reminded me of home. It’s hard to find real Mexican food in Seattle since so many places lean toward Tex-Mex, but Gracia is the real deal.
I ordered the huarache, a taco, and a michelada. The taco was soooooooo good, handmade tortillas and a generous amount of meat. The michelada was the best I’ve had since my last trip to Mexico. My boyfriend ordered the Menudo and it was super flavorful as well.
Overall, amazing food, great flavor, and a spot I’ll definitely be returning to. Highly recommend!

We came in for a quick bite and was quite surprised by the flavor of the food and the kick in the margarita! My wife and I split a margarita, and they brought out 2 smaller glasses which was unique and awesome. Food was delicious and will be returning for more of their home made hot sauce!

The food here was flavorful and tasty, which was definitely the highlight of the experience. However, the meal felt a bit pricey for what was offered. The menu didn’t have much variety, and the options were very limited, which was a bit disappointing.
On the plus side, the vibe of the place was nice, and I appreciated the option to sit both indoors and outdoors. The service was just okay—nothing exceptional, but it got the job done.

Truly delicious authentic Mexican food in Ballard! Everything we had was so fresh and flavorful. We were fighting over the leftovers the next day! My favorites were the guacamole and the pork belly taco. I’m dreaming of coming back again.

We visited during the Ballard Sunday Market, arriving just before noon, and the place wasn’t too busy. They have tacos that are around $6-$7 each, and they’re totally worth it. I loved that I could try different flavors.
I had the pork belly and beef tongue tacos, and both were incredibly flavorful and tender. The coconut flan was also amazing, and I couldn’t get enough of the habanero house sauce. They even sell it if you want to take some home!
The service was great, very attentive, and they gave solid recommendations. The outdoor area is dog-friendly, which was a big plus for us. My dog also got a treat and a water bowl. The outdoor setting was really nice, too.
I can’t wait to come back to try more taco flavors and their dinner menu!

Great place to stop for a quick lunch, I love being able to order individual tacos to try different types. Be aware that the tacos are large, I ended up with leftovers. I highly recommend the lengua and the salsa verde, the fish was also fried to perfection. My one wish is that the guava margs had a bit more guava in them but otherwise were delicious. Will definitely be back!
