"Tucked away on Aurora Avenue right before the bridge, you might miss El Legendario on your way south. But the Rodriguez family has been slinging fantastic comida here since 2015. The spot is in a vibey former roadhouse with an utterly charming vintage bar to boot. Once you find El Legendario, you’ll also find some of the best lamb tacos around. Tender, chile-spiked, and pleasantly messy, these don’t suffer from the dryness that sometimes trips up other purveyors of barbacoa de borrego. Carne adovada is another standout, with its signature big red chile flavor." - Megan Hill, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Mark DeJoy

Hellbent Brewing Company

Brewery · Olympic Hills

"We opened our doors in Lake City, Seattle in 2015. Our goal was simply to contribute to the Northwest’s already sterling reputation for serving great craft beer. We were fortunate to occupy a converted 70s-era Chinese restaurant, which we gutted and re-converted into a 20-barrel brewery and 3,000sf tavern that includes an event space, game room, and patio. Lake City and the surrounding neighborhoods have welcomed us with open arms. We’re proud to be served in some of Seattle’s finest restaurants and its most cherished dives. Thanks to this wonderful community and our masterful brewer, Brian Young, we offer an array of delicious ales year-round, as well as seasonal lagers and Belgian styles. Please, check us out when you can"
