Abuelita's Kitchen

Food was ok. Pictures are the nachos and pupusas. Pretty big portions, but really expensive. Service was absolutely awful. Really slow, we told her we want to order, then didn’t see her again for 10 minutes. Server knocked over a half full drink, breaking the glass, left glass shards on the floor, and didn’t offer to remake the drink?! We told her we had a 25% off Entertainment Coupon, they acted very sketchy about it, then only gave us 10% off (said they had recently decided not to be in the coupon book anymore, yet the coupon is not expired). There is also a hidden 5% credit card fee, on a $100 dinner, that’s annoying, since most people are not carrying that much cash. Not a fun relaxing night out, and way too overpriced. Never coming back.

Excellent food! I love this place! Friendly and welcoming as well.

I’ve been on a hunt for a solid breakfast burrito in Seattle and this one sits above the rest. The chorizo breakfast burrito is delicious! You will miss out if you don’t get the salsas though! There’s 6 to choose from 😋 We’ve been coming here for months now, I’m not sure about the negative reviews, but give this place a go! It’s family owned!

I don't normally write reviews, but this place blew my mind. I had three friends from Vancouver who were in town for a few days. They didn't have any legit Mexican places back home and really wanted legit Mexican food. I work around the Greenwood area and would often pass by Luna Azul (now rebranded as Abuelita's Kitchen). So I was like why not give it a shot. I walked in with the expectation of expensive prices and small portions. Boy was I wrong... First we were greeted by a very friendly staff who sat us down in a very vibrant room filled with local decor. The server came out with three plates of food filled to the edge. I can't remember the last time I've had legit authentic Mexican food, but this hit the spot. They also have a neat salsa bar for all spice tolerance, I loved their zucchini one. The only minor issue I had was the lack of pictures on the menu. I didn't even know what I ordered until it arrived, but was blown away nevertheless.

Best spot for a chorizo breakfast burrito!! You get a giant burrito for a great price. Make sure you try the salsas as well (our favorites are the chipotle and the green one). All the staff are SO nice and welcoming and we love that it is family run. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem in Greenwood!

REAL Mexican food, great prices especially as the portions are large, and the service is friendly. I’m not sure about some of the negative reviews as I had an opposite experience. Highlights: all the dishes tasted great - nothing missed, they have a salsa bar with something for any heat tolerance, and did I mention it’s authentic Mexican food. Tastes like someone’s Abuelita made it and in a Sea of Seattle’s Mexican restaurants it stands out.

Got breakfast burritos here with my friends. we got carne asada, veggie, and chorizo all were immaculate. great deal for what you pay for - 9$ for big burrito tastes fresh and yummy. And they have a salsa bar with so many salsas all taste home made and they’re all sooooo good. I highly recommend. Only reason atmosphere got 4 was because it was early.

Don’t listen to the haters and miss out on great food- after my favorite Taqueria took a huge dip in quality, Abuelita’s saves the day! Amazing vegetarian options, the quality is superb, the salsas are delightful. The tortas are HUGE and come wrapped with deli paper to make them easier to eat :) The portions are massive, you WILL get your moneys with and the carnitas is perfect. The refried beans are a delight, it all feels so healthy and energizing. The staff are professional and very kind if you chat them up. Amazing place. and super clean. There is a breakfast burrito menu, which seems awesome. they really know what they’re doing with vegetables.

The food was amazing and I highly recommend this place. At most restaurants the rice and beans really aren't great but here, the rice was fluffy and both rice and beans were quite tasty. My birria tacos were really good and my parents enjoyed the carne asada. We're in town from the San Francisco Bay Area and I'm glad we found them. Picture taken after realizing the food was great and I had to write a review.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Seattle that I've tried so far. Everything that we've ordered from here (either takeout or eating in the restaurant) is so incredibly good. Their cali boy burrito (ask for pork belly!) and their enchiladas are perfection. Definitely worth making a stop here, this restaurant is a Greenwood neighborhood gem!

My first time eating here. I got a carnitas torta and it was delicious! The carnitas was really flavorful. I also tried a dessert, flan on chocolate cake. So good! Super nice people, too! Can't wait to go back!

Updating to make this 5 stars. This place never disappoints. Tasty comfort food and warm friendly service.

Really really good Mexican food in Greenwood! The best I've had in Seattle for sure. The salsa bar was amaaaaaazing, with 8 salsas available! Two of them were so good that we refilled our little cups. Definitely get the chips so you can try all the salsas. The flavors are authentic and the portions are huge! Prepared to be full. The veggie chile relleno was big and well-cooked, but I wasn't a fan of the earthy veggies inside and the sauce wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. Dropping a star for this, but the gorditas and other dishes looked better! The staff is super kind. They sell their salsas to-go too! I'd definitely come back. The menu is a bit pricey, but it's good Mexican food in Seattle and the portions are so big that it's like two meals in one! :)

Always a hit! Love the gorditas and pupusas. Salsa is always fresh and on point, so many choices, something for everyone.

Fresh fresh fresh fresh and fresher Rebranded from luna azul Delicious classic burrito carne asada Pupusas melted in our mouths Guacamole tasted like butter and all kinds of goodness with out of this world homemade tortilla chips. Outdoor seating Quick service Horchata too much cinnamon Corn tortillas amazing I want to go back!

I really think the only thing keeping this place from being packed is the aesthetic/low lighting. The food is SO good. Seriously. You get fresh piping hot chips and a full salsa bar with some of the best salsas I've found out here. I wish I could buy some of them in jars to take home. The tortillas are made in house. I've come here a handful of times now and ordered something different each time - each one, an absolute banger. Also, hands down, the best guacamole on seattle! Fight me on that. The staff is really lovely. They have outdoor seating available. Please check it out, I'll be so sad if they ever go away!

Folks were very nice. Food was very average in my opinion. Got the pupusas- which I thought were on the dry side and had a really thick masa layer and not very much filling. (Saved by a lot of salsa.) The rice that came with it was very bland as well. Husband got the Torta which came on what was an American deli sub looking bread. Definitely firmer and a thicker bread, compared to what we've seen at most other places. The inside was pretty tasty and they have a nice selection of salsas which is always nice. Decent spot but definitely not on our top mexican food spots in seattle.

Well everybody seems to love this place, including a close friend of mine; so maybe I am wrong here. I got a carne asada Cali burrito and it was not very good at all. My side of chips and guacamole was really yummy though. Maybe I just came by on a bad night?

Food is way over priced for the cheap garbage they give you complete crap carne asada I ordered well done didn't have one sear mark on it and was pink even on the outside dangerously undercooked and the rice and beans are the cheapest shit you can buy these people are the worst overpriced garbage if I was the owner I would be ashamed

This is Luna Azul, just rebranded. This is a fantastic spot for Mexican food in north Seattle. They have the salsa bar, home made flan, and delicious tacos and tortas. Their birria taco is especially good, definitely stop in!

Food was gross, I ended up throwing it away! They microwaved old food! The rice was at least a day old, the meat was burnt and tough and had that warmed up in the microwave taste! Don't waste your money!

Do not miss this gem! Everything is house made from the salsa to perfectly crisp churros to a wide variety of salsas. The best, most tender pork belly I have had in a long time and refried beans with depth of flavor. Will be back and will drag everyone I know!

Best Mexican food around! Authentic and delicious. Such friendly employees, maybe owner I am not sure but these people are special! I recommend this restaurant! Also there horchata and aqua de melon and watermelon are so good and fresh: I will try mango next time! Oooh and flan is great too! Eat here!

Abuelita's Kitchen was a really amazing place to go. The customer service was amazing - super attentive, very kind. Offers suggestions about food to eat. There was a variety of different dishes. We each got something different to eat and everything looked really good. I had the chicken chile relleno. It was a little different than I expected, but the sauce was creamy and delicious. Full of flavor. We also enjoyed the caramel churro too. Would return.

Abuelitas is delish. Came here after phinneywood art walk and got (BIG !) chicken empanadas and mushroom empanadas. Corn tortillas fried to perfection. Did not skimp on cheese. Salsa bar is beautiful. Crema and guac with both orders, and refried beans with my kiddos tacos, yum!

The wife and I went here for a casual lunch date and it was fantastic! They are going through a rebrand so the inside is not finished and there is no alcohol but that didn't matter. The food was great, especially the carnitas and pork belly tacos and the self serve hot sauce and salsa was all great as well. Can't wait for the rebrand to finalize!

This place deserves 5 stars all around. The food was outstanding, great atmosphere/ Mexican music, the service exceeded my expectations. Very friendly servers and owner. The staff is actually family, it's a family own business. It was my first time but what a great experience!

We popped into abuelita's when we were in the neighborhood and needing food without a wait. Initially when we walked in, we didn't know anything about the restaurant. It was hard to tell whether there was a dining room. Boy, were we surprised! The food was absolutely delicious. We have a high bar for mexican food and this is some of the best we've had in seattle. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating as well. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful breakfast! If you come, don't miss the chilaquiles. There's also a choice of several breakfast burritos and you get to help yourself to any and all of an assortment of homemade salsas. The service was friendly, and we had our fresh, made to order breakfast in minutes! We'll be back.

First: Abuelita's is Luna Azul, just going through a rebrand currently As a native San Diegan (and Seattle transplant), I must admit that this Mexican food is authentic, extremely delicious, and just like if you went to your Abuela's house on a Sunday with cousins running around and Tias spilling the chisme. Pros: - Salsa bar. The most variety of salsas you have ever seen (even where I grew up) including a sweet habenero that was like nothing I've ever tried before, and extremely fresh and delicious. You can even hear the blender in the back making more for guests. - fresh chips & guacamole. Amazing - Al pastor to die for. I'm a huge Al pastor & adobada fan, and this stuff is legit. - the friendliest and kindness staff, who love the restaurant and sharing food with guests. Awesome folks. What may need changing: - the price man. $19 for a 4 taco plate with rice and beans is insane, I feel like a reduction to the $12-15 range for the same dish would bring in a lot more business. It's worth the cost, but hot damn I heard my Abuela screaming when she saw that price. - Specials when they can, would love to see a $1 street taco day (Tuesday usually) that would have the restaurant selling out. Overall, 5 star service, food, decor, and people. Come here!!!!

Abuelita's Kitchen is a must for authentic delicious Mexican food. Stopped by here on a whim a few weeks ago and the food was incredible. Salsa bar is a plus and he owner is also extremely friendly and nice! Definitely check it if you're looking for solid Mexican food - already looking forward to my next visit!

Just ate here for the first time tonight and so annoyed at myself for not coming here sooner?? It's some of the best Mexican food I've had in Seattle and the folks who work there are so sweet! The salsa bar is so good. Highly recommend the chicken chile relleno. Absolutely delicious and refreshing jamaica. Can't wait to try more of their food.

Killer salsa bar, homemade tortillas, interesting veggie/vegan options, super nice staff...what more do you need? Plus it looks like there's an actual abuelita in the kitchen. My husband's chicken chile relleno came with the most amazing sauce--I couldn't stop swiping it up with chips. (The veggie chile relleno is stuffed with different root veggies and comes with a roasted chile sauce). Next time I'll try the mushroom empanadas. There were 2 salsas--the roasted tomato and another that was a smooth, red-orange puree--that I could have drank straight from the bowl.

We love this place and the family who run it. Our go to neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Absolutely delicious! Don't forget to try their cakes too.

As another reviewer said, this place is Luna Azul with a new name. This is some of the best mexican food i've had, and i used to live in california. The staff was super friendly but not overbearing. Their tortillas are the best I have had for sure. The salsas were delicious and there were plenty of options. I can't recommend this place enough.

Nice chicken tortilla soup. Enjoyed it to bits. Was just walking around Greenwood and felt like having a soup for lunch and here you go.

Great guacamole and salsa bar! We ordered two rounds of chips, guacamole, and salsa for appetizers and ate every last bit. Tacos were fresh, tortillas fresh and soft. Flavors were epic! There's even a happy hour. Did I mention the salsa bar? Yummmm!

The food was delicious and portions very generous! The service was also incredibly friendly and fast. I ordered the taco plate which was flavorful and not too greasy. Will definitely be going back!

Amazing costumer service!!! Closest Mexican food to resemble Southern California Mexican food

This was delicious! We stopped by for lunch on a whim and I'm so glad we did. We had the tacos and a burrito, both carne asada. Their salsa choices are a nice range and extremely flavorful. The flavors were all fantastic, including the rice and beans. Their tortillas were really soft as well, with the perfect amount of filling. The staff were really nice too.
