Bad Chancla

The food was SO GOOD!! We got a sandwich and curry. The sandwich was moist and full of flavor and had a really nice contrast of toasted outside and wetter bread from the filling. Definitely something to eat immediately and not take home. The curry was also really good and I thought the fish in it was perfectly cooked. The owners were also super nice and considerate. Highly recommend!

Ordered the Cuban sandwich and ropa vieja bowl, both were really good. I personally enjoyed the bowl a bit more, tons of flavor! It’s a hearty dish, you’ll have leftovers if you’re not that hungry. The service was top notch as well, super friendly. It is a small space (3-4 seats inside) so if you come with a large group take out or sitting outdoors is the best option.

Delicious and affordable food is in this quaint spot! We stopped by for lunch while shopping in the area. I wasn’t super hungry so I ordered the small Un Chin rice bowl with picadillo ground beef added. The food was delicious and the meat was seasoned well. My partner ordered the Cuban sandwich and loved it. The agua fresca flavors change based on what’s available and they had apple on our visit. I enjoyed the drink and it was refreshing. We will definitely be back. The staff was very friendly and spoke with us while we ate. It definitely feels like a community-oriented restaurant. There isn’t much seating inside, but they have several tables outside when the weather is nice. They also have bodega snacks to buy.

I stopped by during their one-year anniversary celebration and finally got to try the place after hearing good things. They were giving away free food that day, and everything I tried was packed with flavor. Stephanie, one of the owners, was incredibly kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

i love this place so so much!! i’m moving out of seattle after being here my whole life and i think that i will miss this place the most, even though it’s so new it captured my heart <3 the staff is so nice and the food is DELICIOUS and so flavorful! i usually get the vegan picadillo bowl 🩷

Had a nice date night dinner here last weekend and could not have loved it more. I got the veggie bowl and my husband got the cubano, both were on point. It’s always the “hole in the wall” places that serve the best food in my opinion and this place did not disappoint. Everything was seasoned well, the rice was perfect and the toppings plentiful. Lucky for us we were the only customers (they only have 4 seats) and were able to talk to the Chef which was an added bonus. I’m not going to lie…I don’t like loud music when I’m eating out at a restaurant but quickly forgot about it while I consumed my bowl. I can’t wait to return for more!

Can you imagine giving a restaurant a bad rating because the owners and cooks want a day off? Please ignore the grouches because this place is so special. Jose and Stephanie are the epitome of hospitality and deeply care about the people AND their food. The food is phenomenal and I only wish I lived closer because I'd be in here every week. I also highly recommend getting in on a Topless Tapas night. The intimate dining feels less culinary and more familial. Drinks, laughs, stories, and food. What more could you want?

We went to their previous location a few times so we knew this was going to be good, but damn, the food here is SO good. We got two rice bowls with the ropa vieja and picadillo ground beef respectively plus agua frescas - these bowls are just packed with flavor, great portion sizes, and the friendliest dudes behind the counter. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

Delicious and good vegan options. Super friendly as well. Got the rice bowl with vegan picadillo--flavors were very nicely balanced.

We pass by this place all the time when trekking up and down Cap Hill, so we were excited to finally try. Incredibly warm and welcoming hospitality. It's a small little shop w/ very cute decor and a couple window seats. We ordered: Riki Taki - A relatively small sandwich that packs a great punch. I like the bread and how saucy the overall sandwich is. Rice Bowl w/ Ropa Vieja - The stewed beef roast was so juicy (you literally can see it glistening in the picture in all its glory). The bell peppers and onion topping added a great freshness to the bowl. I also couldn't get enough of the kidney beans. Wait for me rice bowl, I will be ordering you very soon!

The worker was so sweet. Chairs are limited if you plan to eat inside on a busy day. I like the tang in the beans and there's a very very slight kick of spice. As for the sandwich it was pretty salty and one note. I do enjoy the bread they use though. Heard the fake ass Cuban is a popular sandwich so maybe try that one instead. And they have all day breakfast if you are in the mood. The stuffed Omelette-like menu item and spam bowl were their suggestions for breakfast

Was walking by and noticed this new spot in Capitol Hill. Grabbed a sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. I'm excited to try their rice bowl. Service was super nice and am really glad there is another grab and go spot so close to me. Parking can be a bit tricky on the street but super walkable in the neighborhood. They also serve brunch on weekends and all their offerings look great.

Some of the best food I've had in Seattle. A 17 dollar rice bowl that is worthy every penny. Thank god.
