The 18 Best Mexican Restaurants In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Even though it’s all happening in a snoozy dining room with just a few tables, the food at Alebrijes makes an otherwise catatonic Tuesday night straight-up defibrillated. This is not just the best Mexican spot in Seattle—it's also one of the best restaurants in town. There are pomegranate margaritas that the sole server will hop behind the bar to mix, chips straight from the fryer swiped through spicy avocado salsa, and chipotle-buttered shrimp that’ll clear out your sinuses faster than a tab of Claritin. Verde enchiladas are drenched in thick chunky tomatillo, textbook birria tacos are stuffed with pot roast-y beef, and the carnitas have a PG-13-level balance between sexy fat hunks and buttoned-up lean shreds." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
