Mexican restaurant · Capitol Hill

"Either step up to the Capitol Hill sidewalk window or slip through a small grocery store to the indoor walk-up window to wait in a constant (but quickly moving) line with some of Seattle's most devout taco fans. You can get burritos or quesadillas, but these are some of the best tacos in the city—Mexico City style, on tortillas made from freshly ground masa, with blasts of acid and heat in the salsas—and at a great price. Try as many as you're able to eat, but especially the campechano (with chorizo, steak, and potatoes) and the vegan mushroom and guajillo chile. If you prefer a sit-down taco experience, head a mile south to the full restaurant in the Central District." - Naomi Tomky, Stefan Milne, Jessica Voelker
