I never thought I would find good Mexican food in Seattle! This restaurant is nicely decorated, the wait staff is terrific, and there is a huge variety on the menu. They serve an appetizer called Mexican pizza. It has meat, beans, cheese and is piled high with fresh tomatoes. Easily serves three for dinner.

I would say pricing, service & atmosphere were about average with your usual Mexican restaurant. I did quite enjoy the food. I wouldnt say it blew me away, but I did enjoy it. I rate it a bit above most other Mexican places I've had while visiting the Seattle area. I would visit again!

The consistently good quality of food, quick service, and you'll never leave hungry. The freshly made tortilla chips and salsa are always great. There isn't anything that i've tried that i would not recommend. Just good mexican food period.

I will admit I have a weakness for cream cheese, so when I saw the Pollo Funditos, I was sold. They are a flour tortilla, deep fried, with shreaded chicken and jalapeno cream cheese inside. Melted American cheese on the outside. You cut into them and the cream cheese oozes . . . not spicy at all, which was fine... More
