"Casco Antiguo is a place where you can eat delicious pork enchiladas and tacos filled with marinated halibut and mint mojo. It works extremely well for a group hang after work, or the kind of lunch meeting where it’s also doubling as somebody’s birthday lunch or a team morale event—two situations where 12pm margaritas couldn’t hurt." - Aimee Rizzo
"Even if you don’t plan in advance and get a reservation, it’s usually easy to get a spot at the bar at Casco Antiguo, where you can eat some of Seattle’s best Mexican food in a space full of exposed brick, wood, and air plants. A big plate of fluffy fish tacos, plantain black bean empanadas, and braised pork enchiladas is perfect when a takeout burrito eaten on your couch just isn’t going to do the trick, and you could even do a coworker Happy Hour with chips and salsa before transitioning to a full dinner. Toast to your good decision with an on-tap margarita." - aimee rizzo
"Tacos and tequila statistically make work functions better. So if you book the private room at Casco Antiguo, which is the perfect blend of corporate and fun, you’ll be the hero of the office." - aimee rizzo
"Avoiding $11 servings of thimble-sized guacamole is a priority, but you still need a Mexican place with nice touches that your friend who takes her lifestyle blog seriously will appreciate. We challenge you to find a better Mexican spot for this situation than Casco Antiguo. Here, you’ll get on-tap margaritas for $8, substantial portions of things like braised pork enchiladas and beer-battered fish tacos for less than $20, and a space full of exposed brick, rustic wood, and plants. Read all about it on your friend’s blog." - aimee rizzo
"A well-regarded Mexican restaurant whose Pioneer Square outpost (a second location at 7th Avenue and Lenora Street) delivers excellent tacos; I’m partial to the carnitas tacos with nicely crisp pork in soft tortillas and a thick salsa verde on the side, and the new outpost’s service is speedy and friendly." - Eater Staff
