The food rocks, especially the entomatadas. I mean, they make their own tortillas right there! more

One of my favorite places in Ballard. If you have to wait, grab a margarita from the bar and enjoy the scene. Try and get the counter if you can so you can see the action. Recommended dish: halibut tacos more

Great traditional Mexican food in a more upscale restaurant environment than usual. Always packed. Go next for a beer while you wait. more

Authentic, delicious, fast, friendly. Yes - the wait CAN be long...which only adds credence to how good it is. I'd be willing to wait a lifetime for another basket of their fresh chips & quac. more
