 Peso's
206-283-9353
605 Queen Anne Ave N,
Seattle
Queen Anne (Lower)
In the early days, when it was time to party, this was the place to be. It actually still is, but Peso's has grown up, too. The menu has many Mexican-influenced dishes as well as true Mexican fare and the wine list is over 200 bottles. Breakfast is served every day now ("hangover breakfasts filling the community's unmet needs" ). On busy days/nights, the noise level can be high, but it's a fun place to be. Full bar.

This Mexican family restaurant is one of the most authentic in town. They carry a wide variety of items to chose from, including the traditional "tongue taco" for the brave and deep, rich mole. It's located in a small strip mall on a busy street--easy to miss, but important not to.

Madison Park
A taste of good southwestern cooking awaits you in the Madison neighborhood. Start off with the blue corn chips and move onto the large portioned entrees. Always bustling, you may have to wait in line, but it's worth it. The food is good, the drinks are good and it's a lively and fun spot.

Cocina Esperanza
206-783-7020
3127 NW 85th St,
Seattle
Ballard
Small, cozy and candle-lit, you'll want to stay forever. They've created their own recipes that exemplify authentic cuisine from Monterrey, Mexico and prove that Mexican food does not have to be covered in cheese and doused in sour cream. Names of dishes (enchiladas, quesadillas, tostadas) may be familiar, but the flavors will take you away from the norm.

Del Rio Taqueria
206-767-9102
10230 16th Ave SW,
Seattle
South Seattle
The Riojas family has a nice thing going--authentic products in the grocery store and authentic food in the taqueria. The setting is colorful and fun with pinatas dangling from on high, chilies and painted vases for sale and Mexican music playing. The chilies get a workout in the restaurant as well; most items have quite a bite to them.

El Chupacabra
206-706-4889
6711 Greenwood Ave N,
Seattle
Greenwood
Decent Mexican food 'forged in the style of San Francisco’s Mission District’ (which should save you hundreds in airfare each year). It’s a hip place with the young crowd in the evenings as the scratch margaritas flow from the always-happening bar. Food is well prepared and plates are plentiful - choose from appetizers and main courses. Lots of avocado in use and thank goodness they’ve finally added guacamole. Open from lunch till 2 a.m. with the kitchen staying open til 10 on weekdays and 11 on weekends.

La Carta de Oaxaca
206-782-8722
5431 Ballard Ave NW,
Seattle
Ballard
Oaxaca comes to Ballard. This spare-looking place fills up fast and feels comfy and cozy as you make your trip to the salsa bar and snack on homemade chips (there is a charge, but you can have all you want). Nothing is over $9 food-wise and there's a full bar--so get on down and have a margarita with your mole negro or posole. Small plates are fun to share or hoard. Be sure to look for the address as there's no sign outside.

Matador
206-297-2855
2221 NW Market St,
Seattle
Ballard
If you feel welcomed by a metal skull hanging over the front door, this is the place for you! The Matador offers a pleasant environment with wood tables and chairs, earth-tones and a long bar along one side of the room. It does tend to get loud, however. Possibly related to the number of tequilas available. Sidewalk seating is available in nice weather and the round fireplace inside warms the cold evenings. The menu includes tapas, soups and salads, taco plates and entrees like ancho-chipotle baby back ribs.

This is one of those neighborhood places that the neighbors really support. Because of this, the feeling is friendly and homey. The other lure is the food. It may be the familiar dishes seen at most Mexican restaurants, but the portions are large, prices reasonable and food tasty. Full bar.

Redmond
Fun, cheap and good places to grab a bite are always a find. Certainly big money was not spent on the furniture here which includes mismatched tables and some folding metal chairs. High ceilings and exposed duct work complete the "we threw this together" look. Place your order at the counter in front of the open kitchen. Daily specials are definitely worth checking out. Definitely fresh food.

Sonrisa
206-524-2242
2614 NE 46th St,
Seattle
University Village
It's dim (in a good way), with the modern retro look that's popular now (also good), and filled with some great taped music. All in all, a nice atmosphere with dining up front and the bar at the back in a direct line from the front door. Menu items do include classic Mexican items like chile relleno and carne asado tacos. They also have ancho rubbed ribs, sangria prawns and a fig-balsamic dressed spinach salad.

Fast food for you, but preparation time is lengthy, so flavors are vivid. Eight types of burritos await you, along with tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, salads, chilaquiles and a tortilla soup. Yum!
