How refreshing to find a vegan Mexican place right in Pike Place Market! The nachos were quite good-the nacho cheeze sauce is one of the better ones I’ve tasted. My husband got a burrito with Impossible “meat” and he really enjoyed it a lot. All and all a good experience and we’ll definitely be back.Vegetarian options: This is a completely plant-based restaurant.

I will state out front that I am not vegan. That said the food was pretty good. Staff was quick and friendly. As might be expected the beer selection is limited.

Saturday night I wanted to go because it was the only restaurant/bar open and I was hungry ... the young man at the bar very kindly asked me for my ID and I showed him my Mexican ID, to which the waitress told him that they did not accept non-foreign IDs other than from Canada.That does not make any sense, many people go from their countries and always accept ID from other countries and more being a Mexican restaurant and I AM MEXICAN; I do not know how things work there, I was just visiting but it is the first time that happens to me and I do not make sense at all to that ... Besides I said I did not even want to drink, I was very hungry and the only thing I wanted was to eat.But well apparently they did me a favor because I saw the reviews and the food is not very good ......I would like to talk to the owner of the bar to help me understand in my mind that it doesn't make any sense.

Very bad tacos, they had a sour taste. I don't recommend it for eating. It's more of a bar than a restaurant.

I'm visiting from Texas and I thought I knew good tacos until I had these! This was the best crunchy taco I've ever had we also got the chips and queso and a bean and cheese burrito. Everything came out super quick and was fantastic!!

They need to bottle the queso dip because it is the best thing about this place. If you're vegan or lactose-intolerant- get it and thank me later.As a meat eater, the other food is okay substitution-wise but not the same as the real deal. However, it is a place my vegetarian partner and I can easily go together- bring your vegetarian and vegan loved ones!Table service is a little impersonal and less formal for the prices, though i like the bar atmosphere with the tvs, location, and hours. Bar tenders who work there have always had a great customer service attitude!

The ordering system through QR codes didn't work at all, the manager said "it's OK, you can just order through me" and then he NEVER came back to our table again. All the food was weird and flavorless and they never brought out our drinks. We will not be returning.

While visiting Seattle we looked for a vegan restaurant. This place, next to Pike Place, has a plant based Tex-Mex style menu AND a bar!! The service was great and the food was better than okay (my fav was the potato taco). It was a fun way to spend a meal.

Sit down restaurant prices, cheap take out quality. The guacamole was so drowned in lime juice that we couldn't finish it. My supposed barbacoa burrito was filled with runny beans and very little actual "meat". It tasted like the food was thrown together, not prepared with any kind of attention to detail. I won't eat here again.

I love to come here for tacos or nachos but I ALWAYS must get the side of queso and chips. It's the best!
