El Quetzal - Review - Beacon Hill - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Fish tacos are already the fun, flip-flop-wearing, margarita-sipping member of the taco world, but this casual, sit-down spot in Beacon Hill makes them even more exciting. Stretchy flour tortillas come splattered like a Jackson Pollock painting with melty white cheese, then get stacked with a hunk of crispy cornmeal-breaded fish. And the real excitement happens when matchstick-thin green apple slices join a hodgepodge of red onion, cilantro, and tomato on top. The result is a little sweet, a little tart, and a nice refreshing contrast to all that buttery, flaky fish." - Kayla Sager-Riley

"El Quetzal has been one of Becon Hill’s premier Mexican eateries since opening in 2006. Their restaurant is consistently filled with regulars that flock to El Quetzal’s homey space for authentic Mexican eats. Quality iterations of favorites like tacos, tortas, and enchiladas can be found on the menu along with a bevy of rotating specials like mole con pollo and more. Their emphasis on homemade quality shines through in every dish." - Joey Carreon

The food was delicious! We took my sister in law here for a late lunch and was very happy with everything. I had a steak and eggs with beans, my husband had a chicken chimichunga and my SIL had a chicken quesadilla. Quite empty for the afternoon. Next time I will order mine without the Diablo sauce on the chips. Great service. Great food!

El Quetzal was a nice spot for a Mexican food lunch on a hot Seattle Saturday. The menu is large with enough variety to probably have something for everyone. I didn't adore my margarita, but it was plenty strong and worth the price if that's your goal. Similarly, I don't prefer the style of quesadilla we received (lettuce, lighter on the cheese, etc) but all the ingredients were high quality and well done (the steak was delicious, for example.) Chips and salsa were tasty!

They charge for food to go boxes!?!?!? Salsa is watered down and beans are not flavored. Goedora was good though.

We were seated right away. They seem non- traditional as we were not gven chips or salsa. We had to order those separately. (not free). Had the Enchiladas Verde. Pretty good, had a little kick. The servings were kinda small for the price. The service was on point.

Some of the best mole’ I’ve ever tasted, including in Oaxaca. Friendly, cozy, homey. We’re coming back!

Amazing food and service, extremely fare price. Possibly one of the best Hispanic food places I have been to, this far north of the border
