“ Best authentic Mexican food in Seattle. Everything's tender and well flavored. Service is fast and friendly. Chill, unassuming interior, perfect for a casual meal out. ”
“ 1st time in Seattle coming from LA and didn't know what to eat so of course had to find some comfort food! Also got pozole which was delicious! ”
“ This place wasn't on my radar, but I'm so glad Hatch Cantina led us here! We initially started at Hatch, but our experience was disappointing, so we sought out another spot and found this gem. Please note that my review is based solely on the happy hour menu. First off, the happy hour prices are a fantastic deal--$7 for two tacos and $8 margaritas. The tacos were fresh and hot, and the drinks were really good. I'm definitely coming back to try a full meal! ”
“ What a great find! We were out drinking at a local bar but needed some energy of good food. We found this lovely restaurant and had such a delicious food. I had their tamales de pollo con mole and it did not disappoint. The mole was rich and savory and the chicken was very moist. What I really loved was their chips and salsa. The chips came out warm and the salsa was one of the best salsas I've had in a while. We will be back! Thank you! ”
“ Stop by for a late lunch, had the delicious crispy chips and quac appetizer. Ordered their hot Green Posole. Very flavorful with a bit of spicy kick, yet very good. Friendly service. Nice ambience, with music from bar area. Comfortable dining, dim lighting. Has larger dinning in the back for parties and large groups. Definitely will recommend. ”
