Little Neon Taco

How a Chef Overcame Doubt to Make a Beloved Mexican Restaurant on First Hill - Eater Seattle

"Little Neon Taco, opened by chef Monica Dimas in April 2018, is a full-scale restaurant and bar that expanded from her earlier pop-ups and taco window. The restaurant offers a diverse menu including tacos, lamb birria with buttery corona beans and mushrooms, and pan-seared wild rockfish with garlic and Fresno chili sauce, served with cumin butter rice and a root vegetable. Despite initial challenges, the restaurant has received positive feedback from the neighborhood and was awarded Eater Seattle’s Restaurant of the Year for 2018." - Jackie Varriano
