Sandia

Everything we got was fresh and flavorful. Authentic Mexican brunch spot. It’s currently my #1 brunch spot because every dish hit the spot. We got the chilaquiles with scrambled eggs and carne asada, churro French toast and baja fish and shrimp tacos. The Baja fish taco was especially good. The batter was perfect and crispy but the fish was soft inside.

Sandia is making better Mexican food than I’ve ever had in Mexico, truly elevated. I was a bit surprised they charge for the chips; however, when this huge basket of fresh fried blue corn chips with two of the most amazing salsas showed up, I felt like I was getting a steal. We also tried out the queso and guacamole, both of which were top-notch. I grew up in Texas and these would definitely place in any cookoff. The highlight of the meal and a must order is the huitlacoche quesadillas. The menu calls them “corn truffle“ and while I don’t know what that means, I’ll definitely be going back again and again for them. By then I was stuffed, but I did sneak some flautas de papa, which were basically potato taquitos, but piping hot and delicious. The secret to every dish seems to be the sauces. Don’t hesitate to be generous with them. Ended brunch with the hot churros with chocolate dipping sauce. These are not the dry and crunchy ones you would find at a Disney amusement park. The prices are more than fair for what you get, and the location on the trail makes eating outside a lot of fun. My only issue was that our waiter seemed a little bit overwhelmed. I think they weren’t expecting such a rush, but that was probably because the weather was surprising warm and sunny.

I first noticed Sandia when passing by on the the Burke Gilman trail. I finally decided that it was time for a visit Sandia is a fun and cozy place to relax. The outdoor seating has good views of the trail, and is set high enough above the road that you don't really notice the car traffic. The dining area is nicely decorated and very clean. Service is efficient and friendly and overall very well done. The tacos, quesedilla, and burrito were prepared very well. This is a very nice spot for chill-axing on a sunny day.

This place just opened 3 months ago. Delicious! It's small so make sure you make reservations. I really liked the flavors of everything. My least favorite was the chips and queso dip. The flavor of the dressing for the salad was so tasty. I loved the fact all the greens were chopped up in smaller pieces. The best was the flan made with coconut milk so it's dairy free! I want one right now! Definitely coming back here.

Went twice in the span of one week. First for breakfast and can say that the chilaquiles were divine and the michelada just right! Went on the weekend for dinner and it was a lot to be desired of the chiles en nogada and enchiladas for the price listed. TLDR great breakfast dinner was meh

We had a few dishes to share. Everyone's favorite by far was the shrimp tostada! The shrimp and all the vegetables were so fresh and the poblano dressing just ties it all together. I'll definitely be back for another tostada and cocktails. Cocktails were great and fun. Carne asada tacos were also delicious, but we weren't big fans of the pozole. Great vibe. Friendly service. And cute place!

Wow, wow, wow! Absolutely loved this restaurant! The ambiance was stunning, inviting, and so well curated. The menu was delicious. You could tell everything was made from scratch with fresh ingredients. It's a perfect spot to have a drink in the bar, enjoy the sunset on the covered patio, or dine inside for brunch or dinner. The restaurant is also very family-friendly with some thoughtful touches. Kids were served a free quesadilla as soon as we sat down. What a great touch! We felt so welcomed and well taken care of. Some favorite menu standouts included the elotes, all of the dips and salsa, the Sandía Margarita, the Shrimp Tostada, and the warm handmade tortillas. You can't go wrong with anything you order. I'll be back for sure!

This place is not a 4.1 star spot! 4.7 minimum. Delicious food, particularly the carnitas burrito. With queso and crinkle cut fries inside? Yes please. Awesome patio. Great drinks. Right off the Burke--ride in on your bike.

The chips, salsa, and queso were delicious. Drinks were also yummy and refreshing. Service was also super attentive and quick.

Stopped in for dinner and found the food was quite disappointing! The queso tasted like Velveeta, the Wagyu tacos were mostly potato, and beans were disappointing and watery. On the plus side presentation was good.

Yummy new restaurant in the beautiful space previously occupied by Shirley Bistro! I finally had a chance to drop in during golden hour with my friend and we loved what they've done with the space. It's bright, airy, and the menu is inventive, breathing new life into this area. We really enjoyed the blue corn tortilla chips, with salsa, bean dip, and guacamole. They happily refilled the chips once we ran out of them. The corn truffle quesadilla was next level delicious as were the drinks. The only dish we really didn't enjoy was the artichoke dish. This is usually something I find highly coveted at restaurants but here they were overcooked, and were just not very good. Even the artichoke hard was so overdone it could not be cut out. The shrimp tostada was tasty and was presented beautifully. I'd order that again in the future. Service was good and we agreed we will be back for brunch sometime!

My family and I went here for lunch today and we were happy to see the tables outside. The restaurant runs next to the Burke Gilman trail so it's fun to watch the people go by. We ordered chips and salsa, corn truffle quesadillas, burrito Torero and carne asada tacos. The salsa was spicy and the blue chips were warm and crunchy. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. However, we found the tacos and quesadillas pretty bland. The sweet red pickled onions were good though and really needed to bring flavor to the dish. The best dish was the burrito torero as the meat, sauce and cheese was flavorful. But beware that it is quite a bit of carbs (flour tortilla wrap with French fries inside). I think it would be awesome if they could put the insides of this burrito on top of a bowl of salad greens and dare I say, omit the fries. Service was prompt and attentive but we arrived after 1 PM so it wasn't too busy anyway. They give you a bottle of water so you can hydrate without wait. Not sure if I would rush back again anytime soon but I did appreciate and enjoy the outdoor seating.

Met up with my BFF to make candles and popped in here for a light snack after. We sat at the bar and ordered guac and chips and bean dip, to be served the most basic guac and plainest beans I have ever tasted. The waiter never checked in, and I saw several others being served what appeared to be a hot bean dip that was typical table service? Wouldn't know because I had to actively waive him down for the check. Missed the mark on food, missed the mark on service. Disappointing.

Sandia is just as cute as it is delicious! This should be your next date night spot or brunch with the girls. The aesthetic inside is pink, girly, and fun. It is a pretty small restaurant so definitely make a reservation! Holly was our server and was incredible and so attentive! The machine for the photo for the Porcha Party wasn't working so I had to get a different photo which was totally fine, but they surprised me with my correct photo which was so nice. What we got - Chile Con Queso: seriously some of the best queso I have ever had, thick and creamy and had a tiny little kick House Salsa: pretty good, nothing to rave about! Fig and Beets Salad: this is a MUST, such a colorful and flavorful dish, the truffle on it truly made it Steak Burrito: so good and had fries in it, like a California burrito! A great sized portion with a ton of steak Pork Belly Taco and Fish Taco: omggggg, that pork belly taco had such a thick cut of pork in it and really packed with spice with the hot sauce that it came with. So good. The fish taco was okay, but the pork belly was better Porcha Party and Sandia Margarita: both drinks were so delicious. I love how the drinks aren't overly sweet here. The porcha party is fun because you can get any photo on it! Coconut Flan: my goodness, this was so good! So creamy with the coconut flakes for texture yum To all the reviews saying it is expensive, sure yes it is expensive, but I find the price typical for Seattle food. The food is okay nothing jaw dropping but it was all good!! You are paying for the vibes inside, it is a cute and fun place to go

Another great dinner at Sandia. Had multiple drinks, happy hour chips and guacamole, fajitas, and artichokes! Service was great.

Food is pretty good but not stellar and everything is overpriced for the quality and portion size. The best thing we ordered at our most recent visit was the salsa trio that came with our chips -- delicious! Cocktails are garnished beautifully but disappointing. After several visits, my husband and I decided it's not worth it to order drinks here, they are always a little off. It seems server dependent if you are allowed to mix-and-match your taco order. Sandia, if you're reading this: people don't always want two of the same type of taco. It's in the neighborhood and we like to support them when we can, but I'd like to see this place improve.

Visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon with two friends just as brunch was ending but they were so lovely to still let us order from the brunch menu. I started with a watermelon soda which was delightfully refreshing. For a starter, I had the Grilled Chile Lime Artichokes which were well seasoned and the butter really set it off. For my main, I had the chilaquiles with carne asada and they were AMAZING. Funny enough, all 3 of us had this dish (2 with carne asada and 1 veggie) and we all loved it. We were here so long, we transitioned into the Golden Hour menu for drinks and The Sara was a hit! We ended up staying much longer than intended chatting over Saras-- and would gladly do it again. Service was stellar and we ended up chatting with the owner a bit as he checked in on us frequently. The ambiance was casual, fun, and light and a great place to be on a sunny day. Can't wait to return!

Such a hidden gem along the Burke Gilman!! Stopped by for the golden hour deals absolutely loved The Sara and coconut marg cocktails for $11. The nachos and queso were absolutely amazing, and the truffle quesadillas were a little heavy on the mushroom flavor but made well. Beautiful patio views!

My friend and I came across their instagram page & decided to come give it a try. Our server was all over the place, when we asked for food & drink recommendations he said he hadn't really tried anything on the menu. Their dinner menu didn't really have much of a selection to choose from. We decided on the guacamole as an appetizer, it was good but not anything special. The drinks were okay we decided on some margaritas. We ended up just ordering some chicken tacos that were on happy hour, they were decent & filling. The restaurant was intimate and cute. It was a bit loud in there. It looked like the outdoor seating had heaters up above which is nice.

Came for the brunch and drinks, no one there when we came in as we came at opening time. Got the brunch today, very pretty and lots of flavor. Did wang more of the vegetable "chorizo" in the taco and maybe less eggs. The shells were super soft and stuck to the holder so hard to eat. Was not able to get drinks today due to staffing so may come back to try the happy hour. Waitress super nice and checked in.

Decor and ambiance were spot on. Service was excellent, and so was the food! Beautiful patio and indoor space, as well. The manager, Roberto, was just the best! Best service we've received in months! The drinks were spectacular, and we will definitely be back to try more soon. Don't sleep on this little gem.

This was our first time at Sandia, and we couldn't believe how loud it was for such a small place. Even though there were only three other tables occupied, we could barely converse. The food was OK, but not amazing -- which is not what we expected given that prices are on the high side. What was amazing was our server. He was first-rate and kept an otherwise disappointing experience from being a total bust.

Amazing food, spectacular service, and immaculate space! Sandia is a breath of fresh air for the Laurelhurst neighborhood. We went on opening week and had a terrific experience. Not only were the cocktails amazing (Sandia Margarita is a must-try, and the Moctezuma was spectacular) but the food is special. Sandia's salsa is served hot and savory, the guacamole is delicious, and the chips were hot and nicely salted. The tacos, tostada, and corn were all perfect - refined but accessible. Food is meant to be shared but you can also get their burrito or nachos if you're feeling like a solo experience - plus the tacos are al a carte so you can mix and match. I couldn't believe this was an opening week with how polished everything was. The space is cozy inside with a beautiful covered and heated patio outside right by the Burke Gilman trail. Another great thing - totally kid friendly despite the elevated food. Kids menu is expansive and very well-priced, plus they dropped a free quesadilla for my daughter the second we were seated! Can't wait to go back and try more dishes. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Welcome to the neighborhood!

This place only works for its ambiance, not as a dining establishment. They're clearly not staffed by folks who know what they're doing. They got two stars because the management understood they failed. We arrived at 7:00pm with a reservation for two, and were seated relatively promptly. We ordered two plates of tacos as starters, priced like gourmet food, and drinks. The tacos arrived before the drinks, so I made sure to mention drinks hadn't come to the table. We found the shrimp tacos bland, seasoning must have been out in the kitchen when the shrimp were grilled since char was the primary flavor. The al pastor tacos were much better. Our server arrived after we'd finished the tacos, this was the first time we'd seen her since ordering the starter. We began ordering our entrees. We asked her to described the costillas de sandía, she had no clue how to describe food on the menu. We again asked about the drinks we'd ordered around 30 minutes ago, the server explained the bartender was busy and behind. Since we were waiting, I asked for two shots of a silver tequila, the server returned with a reposado several minutes later. Luckily, we were ok with the change because she hadn't come back to check on whether we'd take a substitution. We watched as a table of four, who were seated after we were got all of their drinks. I called over our server asked when our drinks would be arrive, she answered, if you'd like to ask the bartender, you can because I've tried. I've never heard a server ask the customer to speak to another staff member! Our entrees arrived, tamales and a burrito, with no drinks. I had a bite of the tamal, it was terrible. The chicken and masa were a flavorless concoction, covered with a heavy cinnamon sauce and cute garnishes. My partner tried it and agreed. Again, only good for ambiance. At this point, I was over it. I called the server over, canceled the drinks and returned the dish, which I have never done. I've never had a worse dining experience than this place! The manager did come to our table and apologized, and we were not charged. However, I wouldn't do it again, you'd be better served having a burger downstairs and coming up for a couple drinks (if you get them)!

Went there for brunch, the chips and salsa are good, the steak burrito is great (rich, heavy on the queso, the fries make it), and the tacos al pastor were, I was told, "pretty good." I liked the limeade. Service was the right level of attentiveness and the food came in a reasonable time. My only complaint: we didn't get brunch menus but the ladies behind us did, and they got the chilaquiles which looked great and I was jealous. Was it expensive? It's a pretty, sit-down restaurant in Laurelhurst. Everything that has been in that location has been on the higher end of the spectrum. The only way you think these prices are out of whack is if you expect Mexican food to automatically be cheaper. Don't do that.

Cool atmosphere, food is okay had the queso which was cold and the steak tacos were flavorful

Saw a lot of a good things about this restaurant but was a little disappointed! We arrived here on a Friday night and it was surprisingly empty. We started off with some drinks - we ordered the "Letters to Oaxaca" which was mezcal with ginger beer, agave and lime. This drink was pretty good (8/10). For appetizers, we ordered the Sandia Chicken wings and a side of chips+guac. The chips & guac were good (big portion of chips..the chip to guacamole ratio is a little off though). The chicken wings had a Smokey watermelon glaze which you could slightly taste and had a nice spice to it. They were not bad at all (7/10). For mains, we had the Baja Grilled Shrimp tacos, the Pork Al Pastor tacos and the Costillas de Sandía. The shrimp tacos were okay...the shrimp was bland but the toppings which included avocado, cabbage and Serrano crema made the taco okay (5/10). The Al Pastor tacos were the worst. They were EXTREMELY salty. They didn't even look like Al pastor tacos, more like carnitas and was very disappointing (1/10). The Costillas de Sandía were pork ribs in salsa macha. The salsa was good! But the pork ribs were very tough, meat did not slide off the bone and I kid you not (!), these pork ribs were the same size as our chicken wings (6/10). The restaurant is cute and our server was amazing! But the food is nothing out of this world. Our server Fatima was super friendly, constantly checking in on us, asked if anything was wrong with our food. When she was made aware that we were not happy with the food, she comped our whole check! We insisted on paying for our food but she said everything had been taken care of. She was the sweetest! Fatima you were an awesome server! Hoping to come back and see if their brunch menu is any better.

Nice little Mexican spot along the Burke-Gilman Trail. Good food, if a bit pricey. We started with chips & salsa and some wings with a tangy watermelon glaze. Both were quite tasty. Then we each got two tacos; the Carne asada ones were particularly outstanding. Our server was very attentive but they seemed a bit understaffed. Overall a tasty meal but expect to drop some cash.

Wow, super impressed! We stopped during a bike ride and had the halibut tacos and a glass of wine. Wonderful sitting on the shaded patio, the tacos were exceptional! The tortillas were fresh, soft but perfectly grilled, the fish was fresh, light and perfectly battered and the seasoning, sauce and pickled onions and peppers on them were delicious. Absolutely excellent surprise!

Awesome spot ! Relaxing with great spaces to chill with great food and service. This oasis in the neighborhood adds a much needed chill zone with amazing bites and dinner options. Craft cocktails are a perfect accompaniment to the kaleidoscope of flavors on the menu. Fresh live food soothes the end of a day. Our new hang out !

Brunch is my favorite meal and I'm always down for a cute little cafe. Sandia, as the new kid on the blog, seemed to be everyone. Every food blogger and city guide was raving about it, so I finally booked a table for me and my friend. The ambience was cute as promised, our server very friendly. Unfortunately, I don't think the good lives up the hype. We ordered Churro French Toast and were given bread pudding (I'm generally not a the biggest fan of bread pudding, but this one definitely wasn't my thing). We also ordered the breakfast burrito, which was totally fine but not huge and not worth $20 in my personal opinion. It's definitely a cute spot, but I'm not sure it's gonna make the cut for me.

Delicious cocktails, great ambiance, and friendly and attentive service! Great addition to the neighborhood.

Great food. Great drinks. Great ambiance. You won't find better queso in Seattle - I've been looking for 12 years. Food was like a fresh version of Tex-Mex, which I didn't know was possible. It was fun to sit at the bar and watch the Burke-Gilman folks pass by. Parking is pretty easy, and they have AC which is a huge bonus in the summer. Not pictured: Sandía Salad, because it was so good pictures were much too late.

Love it! It is expensive for sure but the quality of the drinks and meals is on par with the price. Our sever was very nice as well. The tamarind agua fresca was refreshing and their cocktails are very delicious. I got the chilaquiles and my friend ordered the burrito. The churro bread pudding was to die for! Gotta eat it warm for the best texture!

Brunch reservation for 3 people at noon. Not too busy at all, no wait, and service was good. I ordered the breakfast burrito (11/10) saved the Other half for my dinner. My friend ordered the potato tacos (11/10) most boujee looking taco I've seen. Without hesitation she ate those two tacos up like there was no tomorrow. A girls gotta eat. My other friend ordered the Chilaquiles (8/10) she liked the soggy chips saturated w the sauce. They're breakfast nachos!! She then asked the waiter for some ketchup! I told her, "I don't think they have ketchup here" and I was right! But our waiter accommodated us with some homemade ketchup sauce for her and she was satisfied. I must mention the pink ceiling makes the place stand out. I felt like I was in the Barbie movie

The patio is lovely with an entertaining street level view of the Burke Gilman trail. Inside and outside seating options were stylish and fun. Our waitress was delightful and very good at her job, faultlessly remembering our order (a four top with complex requests). BUT... the food was mediocre at best. The corn tortillas were friable leading to very messy eating. The salads were better than the tacos but ultimately underwhelming. I think the food is better at the nearby taco truck El Camion.

The service if friendly but inexperienced. The food is overpriced for what one gets. They love salt too much, the flavors are not well-developed, and we have had better food for the same price or less. It was a $110 disappointment. The chips, and carne asada is over seasoned, as to be unpleasant. The warmed salsa is an odd choice and not the refreshing and acidic counterbalance to rich food that is more normal and desirable (especially on a hot day). We ordered the $46 fajitas for two, and it was hardly the one person portion you would get at any other Mexican restaurant, even Fogon, which is much better. For the money, I would go elsewhere.

Cute place to grab drinks with friends in the summer during happy hour or "golden hour" as they call it. Drinks and ambiance were great but the food was mid. However I believe they seasonally change their menu On a scale of 10: Food - 6 Service - 8 Ambiance - 10 Drinks - 10

We live nearby and have been wanting to test this spot out for a while! It did not disappoint! We knew going in it was on the pricier side, and I honestly felt like the food and the experience made it worth it. They allow dogs on the patio, which is always a win for us, and it was just so chill and relaxing outside. We will be back, for sure, with a game plan to split new things next time

this restaurant is a jewel! I love the atmosphere, the food was delicious and the servers were really wonderful. definitely returning!

The food and drinks were such a disappointment. The shrimp was so overcooked that it tasted like a rubber boot. The prices are insane for the quality of the food. The place itself is so cute but until they replace their chef and bartenders, I would not return.

Sunday brunch at 10:30. 4 tables with guests. Hostess was cold & unwelcoming. 32 degrees outside and we asked the hostess to close the door to the deck that was propped open and she had to ask someone else if that was ok - and she seemed very put off to do so. Seated at the table for 20 minutes before we were asked if we wanted a beverage. They have no espresso, no decaf coffee, no hot cocoa, no apple, orange, cranberry or grapefruit juice - only juice was watermelon and then it came with ice and carbonation. Ordered breakfast burrito with sausage. Asked for a side of sour cream - they did not have any. Ingredients did taste fresh. Pulled the burrito apart because couldn't taste sausage and there was none. Would have told the wait staff but they never returned to the table during the meal to check on us. Had to laugh at the sandwich board sign on the sidewalk advertising brunch - has a breakfast sandwich on it, which is not offered on the menu. Very disappointing experience.

Great drinks, happy hour, and ambiance! Would come again. Loved the Sandia margarita, and the queso and chips

I would give zero stars if I could...I walked in the back door (my partner is a wheelchair user). Staff (tattooed blonde) was so hostile and ruined entire experience. She condescendingly informed me to go around building and walk downstairs to talk to host--I won't be back. Much better spots in neighborhood with staff who aren't rude

Friendly staff, fun drinks, and good vegetarian options. I'd recommend the vegetarian chilaquiles - they use an actual vegetable mix instead of soy fake meat.

We prefer to sit at the bar given the layout of the place. The fig salad is beautiful and tasty.

This place is still going through a lot of growing pains. Have been twice. The chips are stale, the queso tastes like melted Velveeta, and the salsa and guacamole are quite poor. You would not want to take a Texan here. Service was also super rocky. Two people in our party got their food and finished it before the other two got anything and there was no apology or acknowledgement until an hour later. Cocktails also took about 30 minutes to come out. On the plus side, the asada and fish tacos were quite good, The churro, unfortunately, we're a sugary mess. The patio is nice.

I'm sorry to report that this was one of the most disappointing meals I have ordered (and did not finish) in ages. As we entered (a Saturday afternoon), there were only two tables seated--the place was empty--and yet as we were seating, I saw that two other empty tables were still dirty; they had been bussed, but there was still food residue on the tables. It took about five to seven minutes for the server to bring us water--and, again, the place was empty--and she then quickly departed. The server asked if we wanted drinks, and but there was no beer or wine list, and so no way of figuring out what they actually had. It was all so odd. We ordered chips and guacamole, flautas de papas (sic), and a shrimp tostada. The guacamole was Ok; the chips were fine... but they had not been salted prior to being brought to the table, so although salt was placed on them between the kitchen and us, it all fell off as soon as you picked up a chip. It was bizarre. The flautas de papas should have been "flautas de papa," and the repeated errors in Spanish on the menu should have been a tipoff ("grilled asada," for instance--*asada* means "roasted," so this was "grilled roasted taco"). The flautas de papa were appallingly bad. Advertised as "roasted potato, serrano peppers, asadero / cotijo cheeses, shredded lettuce, salsa verde, crema. These were horrible. The potato was mashed (which is fine--that's the proper recipe), not roasted. There was legitimately no heat at all, so I don't know what happened with the serrano peppers. The lettuce was soggy and weirdly stringy--I put some on my plate, took a bite, and then removed it all, because I was a little worried about food poisoning risks. The salsa verde had apparently been mixed with the crema, so it all resembled a weird low-end guacamole, and had no flavor. I tried to eat one flauta, but stopped, because it was so awful, and completely flavorless. As I was trying to chew on a bite of the flauta and figure out what the heck was going, the server appeared, and said "Is everything tasting good so far?"; we were only 30 seconds into the meal, and both my partner and I had our mouths full. He quickly swallowed, and said "it's fine." I was still chewing, and so said nothing. The server stood there smiling down at me, and would not leave the table. I finally covered my mouth, and said "I am sorry, but I have food in my mouth," and she said "Well, I'll take that as a YES!" and walked off. Friends: it was not a "yes." The shrimp tostada was similarly confusing. It is advertised as consisting of "grilled blue shrimp, poblano-coconut slaw, cilantro, habañero" (actually, they write "habanero," but the Spanish chops on this place are clearly lacking). The shrimp part was fine--they were done well. There was no poblano-coconut slaw: it was cabbage and--I kid you not--kale. There were radishes (fine--not listed, but fine). There was cilantro. If there was any habañero in that, it was not rearing its head. There appeared to be some of the weird salsa verde / crema thing added in. The tostada was basically impossible to cut. It was all a hot mess. We called for the check--with about 1/3 of our dishes eaten--and it took a while, but we finally got it. I was a *little* surprised that the server didn't ask if anything had been wrong (because almost everything had been wrong), but she didn't. We paid, we tipped well (as always), we'll never be back. On the good news end of it: it's more than six hours later, and I show no signs of food poisoning! But don't go here. It's really awful.

What an amazing new restaurant. This is the best Mexican food I have had in quite a while. The space is a great remodel of an existing space with a fantastic deck for our door dining and is decorated with a classy charm. I have to say their cure t namesake Sandia watermelon salad was amazing. I'll go back just to get this again. How they make watermelon not only taste rich and luxurious but still cram and simple amazed me. We had a few beverages their margaritas are light and refreshing and not over powering. All the tacos were great and the seafood in them tasted fresh and delicious. We finished with churros and I'll be honest I could eat those churros till I was the size of a blimp and still be happy. This is a a great new spot that's both family friendly, date night perfect and comfortable. I highly recommend it and will be back soon!

This spot just opened and we will be back. The food and drinks are on point, so impressed how smooth things operated this early on. The guacamole, salsa and chips are a great way to start. My burrito was insanely flavorful, loved the Great State fries inside! Sandia margarita and The Sara were tasty cocktails. We also rode our bikes as it's just off the Burke Gilman trail...be back soon.

The tacos here and margaritas are one of the best in Seattle. We've been to Cactus, and multiple other Mexican restaurants and the food here is awesome very pleasant waiter and nice location next to the Burke Gilman and pleasant outdoor seating.

Wow, wow, wow! Absolutely loved this restaurant! The ambiance was stunning, inviting, and so well curated. The menu was delicious. You could tell everything was made from scratch with fresh ingredients. It's a perfect spot to have a drink in the bar, enjoy the sunset on the covered patio, or dine inside for brunch or dinner. The restaurant is also very family-friendly with some thoughtful touches. Kids were served a free quesadilla as soon as we sat down. What a great touch! We felt so welcomed and well taken care of. Some favorite menu standouts included the elotes, all of the dips and salsa, the Sandía Margarita, the Shrimp Tostada, and the warm handmade tortillas. You can't go wrong with anything you order. I'll be back for sure!

Laurelhurst/Sandpoint needed this!!! A fresh modern vibe and take on Mexican cuisine. The ambiance is chic and inviting. The Sandia Margarita is a must-try! Crisp and refreshing and very Instagram worthy. As for the food -- the Flautas (both shrimp and potato) were a hit with our table, as was the chicken and tostada. Just make sure to order the three dips to accompany: guacamole, queso, and a warm salsa. And of course last but not least...CHURROS with warm chocolate dipping sauce! We loved our visit -- everything from food to drink to the staff -- and are excited to make this a local spot for years to come.

The ambiance here is nice, but the prices are insane. Two tacos for $20, if you order chips and salsa and want to add guacamole it is $14. We ordered chips and two drinks and ended up waiting longer for the drinks. I had an agua fresca and it did not taste at all like an agua fresca, it tasted more like flavored sparkling water. Very disappointed since good Mexican food in Seattle is hard enough to find.

Came in for a quick stop to check the place out. The Burrito is fantastic as is the queso. Cocktails and ambiance will probably bring me back more often than not. Can't wait to try more of the menu, brunch looks especially promising.

We wanted to try this new place. I like the ambiance and the service was good except for one incident where we were talking and savoring their elotes and down to the last bite and the server just took it without even asking us if we were done. I was like we are not done with it but ignored us. Their tacos were OVERPRICED. Maybe they should call it TACO instead of Tacos? since they only give you one per order? They're really good though...

Good food but not great. All okay but for the prices, I was expecting to be blown away. Loved the cocktails. The guacamole was the biggest let down. $14 for a very small container that had zero salt or lime juice. Chipotle or the Met Market guac blows theirs away. Burrito and tacos were just ok. I feel like any standard Mexican restaurant surpasses this food and would be half the price.
