"Chef Monica Dimas’s celebrated Mexican restaurant Little Neon Taco is shifting to curbside pickup and no-contact delivery." - Gabe Guarente
"It can be easy to overlook this laid-back, but elegant Mexican restaurant on a quiet First Hill stretch, but it’s just the sort of spot that makes for a surprisingly intimate escape. The menu blends classic tacos like lengua and adobada with new twists, like the cueritos with soft pork rinds; all approachable dishes, without trying too hard. Plus, the short cocktail list is stellar, with margaritas, daiquiris, and mezcal old fashioneds that have some kick." - Gabe Guarente
"Blends traditional tacos with new twists, like cueritos with soft pork rinds, and is run by chef Monica Dimas, who has experience with small stands and walk-up windows." - Gabe Guarente
"Little Neon Taco, on First Hill, won Eater Seattle’s 2018 Restaurant of the Year award." - Megan Hill
"Little Neon Taco, opened by chef Monica Dimas in April 2018, is a full-scale restaurant and bar that expanded from her earlier pop-ups and taco window. The restaurant offers a diverse menu including tacos, lamb birria with buttery corona beans and mushrooms, and pan-seared wild rockfish with garlic and Fresno chili sauce, served with cumin butter rice and a root vegetable. Despite initial challenges, the restaurant has received positive feedback from the neighborhood and was awarded Eater Seattle’s Restaurant of the Year for 2018." - Jackie Varriano
