"Sometimes, birthdays are about reflecting on your milestones of years past. And sometimes it's about the thrill of making heads turn when a sizzling fajita skillet is placed in front of you. If you too want to make other people jealous of seared peppers and onions, pull Jackalope out of your back pocket. This Tex-Mex restaurant in Columbia City takes reservations over the phone for six or more, the baja rockfish tacos are excellent, and there's plenty of brisket picadillo-topped queso to go around." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"The Deal: $9 Regular Margaritas, $2 Off Frozen Margaritas, $5 Snacks Columbia City's Tex-Mex restaurant is a good place to go for a chill date, particularly if you're sharing their excellent queso (which is discounted for happy hour). And if things go well, an early bite can easily turn into a full-fledged dinner with things like brisket tacos and enchiladas." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"This Columbia City restaurant from Jack’s Barbecue owner Jack Timmons offers his signature Texas brisket in tacos and enchiladas, serves with one of the better mezcal selections in the city. It also recently started serving brunch with options like huevos rancheros, and yes, Texas-style breakfast tacos. While there are some traditional Mexican dishes like ceviche here, the standouts are the Tex-Mex options." - Charlie Lahud-Zahner
"For birthday planners with tacos and tequila on the brain, Jackalope is the taqueria that just read your mind. Do they have the best Mexican food in town? No. But it is a very dependable Seattle birthday HQ—it’s easy to book a group reservation, they have an energy-packed dining room, and the menu does have some greats to make you glad for being born. We’re looking at you, Texas-style queso, battered fish tacos, and smoky brisket chili enchiladas." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Don’t come to this Columbia City Tex-Mex spot searching for benedicts and french toast. Instead, what you will find are breakfast tacos with cheddar jalapeño sausage and huevos rancheros topped with dripping BBQ brisket picadillo. Really, just the thought of eating bacon-infused refried beans at 10am is enough to get us out of bed even after watching The Great British Bake Off all night. And for a place where a slow-smoked meats and eggs over easy come together, it might not be Austin-level here, but it's pretty damn close. " - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
