[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is great, like "accidentally stumbled into a hidden gem while looking for snacks" great. It's cozy, charming, and gives off serious date-night energy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You know, the kind of place where you sit down thinking, "We'll just have one drink," and suddenly it's three tequilas later and you're talking about your childhood dreams. Speaking of tequila... WOW. The tequila selection here is basically a library, and the bartenders are the very enthusiastic librarians. They know everything. My partner and I were lovingly escorted through a full tequila tour before our food even arrived, and honestly? By the time dinner showed up, life was beautiful and all decisions felt correct. Needless to say, we were having an excellent time. The food definitely holds its own too. Everything came out fresh, beautifully plated, and tasting like someone in the kitchen actually cares (which is always a plus). We split a few dishes, including the Carne Asada and the Pescado. The Carne Asada was good, though it could've used just a bit more seasoning, nothing tragic, just a gentle nudge from "good" to "wow." The Pescado, however, was fantastic. Topped with olives, capers, and tomatoes... I mean, how do you even mess that up? You don't. And they didn't. Bonus points: they're open late, until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. So if you find yourself wandering the streets of Bellevue after hours, questioning your life choices and craving tequila and good food, congratulations, you've found your place. Overall: great vibes, strong drinks, solid food, and bartenders who will happily teach you more about tequila than you ever planned to know. I'd absolutely come back, and probably let them "educate" me again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place rocks!! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a romantic, private, special dining spot to taste some great food and relax![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And if you're dining alone, they have a nice bar area where you can order a delicious meal as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was exceptional, food elevated, every bite was savory and ingredients were fresh with an artistic presentation. I found Adrian's hard to forget!! Menu is not your typical.... Something for everyone plus.. nightly specials, bone-in rib eye was delectable, served with a deme glaze, mashed potatoes and broccolini....each bite was a burst of deliciousness! Cesar salad was made to perfection, cold, crisp with high quality ingredients. We also tried their salmon served with a spinach salad that was addicting good. Large portions. Excellent tequila selection. Oh I forgot to mention the desserts! I don't even know how we had room for dessert, but we shoved in some delicious mango sorbet and churros stuffed with Bavarian cream. They were absolutely delicious...savory, not overly sweet but highly addicting! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can't go wrong coming here! Definitely one of Bellevue finest dining experiences![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the servers were all extremely courteous and genuine, looked happy to be at Adrian's. So refreshing to see these days:) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect for "first date" "engagement" "company gathering" "birthday" "anniversary" "girls/guys night" or just hanging out![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

PSA they're closed on Sundays! Be sure to make a reservation on Yelp and call them if you need to edit it. We came for dinner on a Saturday night. The espresso martinis were delicious! For dinner, we got the enchiladas and tacos de asada. Definitely add eggs to the enchiladas! There was also a pork shank special that my parents loved. The churros were just alright, I'd probably go across the street to Molly Moon's for dessert instead. The only con about this place is the price (especially for the small portion sizes). It's more expensive than a lot of restaurants I'm used to in Los Angeles! I think I'd come back for lunch. However, overall the food and the service were amazing!! Shout out to our waiter, Louis, he was so funny and gave us great recommendations. read more

Went to this establishment for the first time. Had been meaning to come here for dinner for over a year now. Sad to say our experience ended up deserving minus five stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was lovely, our server was attentive and the drinks were to die for[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], until just after we ordered appetizers and dinner [[HIGHLIGHT]]three men come walking in with three dogs. I was very startled, especially since they weren't on a leash.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Okay, maybe that's the thing here. I asked our server about this out of curiosity but more importantly because of health codes. He said that they were no longer going to be allowed and he was talking to the patrons this evening to let them know. Okay I get that, until the dogs are standing right next to me at the table while I'm eating my dinner. That was the last straw. I went up to the gentleman who owned the dogs and said, I love dogs but don't like them eating dinner with me to which he replied, oh why not, do you even own a dog and it proceeded to get pretty ugly with him calling me an effing b**** and then told the bartender he was going to pay our bill and for me to back to my table . I started to say something else and one of his friends said okay can you made your point at which my friend got up because now he was upset and the man at the bar proceeded to insult him regarding his glasses, his looks etc. Totally uncalled for in any establishment. I can't say enough about how a beautiful evening with a friend I hadn't seen in months was totally ruined. The man was still spewing obscenities which we both could hear and we ended up getting up and walking out. Surprisingly, not anyone, anyone, who worked at the restaurant even took the initiative to follow us out to say anything to us. That said, more importantly, I would think that they would want a patron's business versus placating an owner with dogs spewing obscenities. Go figure. I just don't get this. I'm sure this won't stop people from eating here but I'll never go again. I felt so sorry for the chef who's the owner because he probably didn't hear any of this until it was too late. read more

Such a fun and beautiful time at Adrian's. We dropped by for my friend's birthday and they even serenaded her! The staff were so welcoming and so attentive, maybe it was because we were sitting at the bar but everyone was friendly and conversational. To top it off the food was also amazing! I got the steak and it was made a perfect medium rare. The sides were also well-seasoned and great texture. My friend got the enchiladas and it was also so very good! Overall I had an excellent experience. I look forward to coming again :) read more

Adrian's Restaurant & Tequila Bar - Mexican Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

24th Wedding anniversary Mescal Sour Adrian's Cocktail (tequila old fashioned) Mexican Whisky Roberto greeted us at the door and immediately we felt welcomed and taken care of. We asked for recommendations and he offered us a surprise to give us more offerings instead of each of us ordering a main dish. So we ended up with the best veggie appetizer displayed in a column and cucumbers with vinaigrette. I don't think I saw it on the menu so I took a pic to get it again. Roberto offered up cool drink ideas to hubby. For the main course he had us split dinner on 2 plates: a filet mignon, garlic sautéed spinach on silky mashed potatoes, perfect salmon over bed of spinach salad and some type of mild cheese, prawns and crab! Later we had fried vanilla ice cream and a flan to celebrate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Marco sang in Spanish at the bar and at our table. He is a good singer[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Overall, we will be back and with friends! Don't miss out, for some reason this place is easy to miss even though it's on a corner street. read more

I took my sister here for her birthday lunch, and we had a wonderful time, which was enhanced by Adrian's incredible service and food/cocktails. Our lovely bartender, Vivan, and server, Alvaro, were a joy to interact with as well! We got the mojito, espresso martini, pulpo adobado, carne asada, and salmon tacos for lunch. They also brought out a flan as her birthday dessert, which was so sweet of them! I highly recommend a visit to Adrian's, and I'm definitely coming back as well. This place is worth adding to my special occasion roster! read more

We came in for dinner after a long day of meetings based on recommendation from someone else. The place is kind of small with a difficult parking situation. It does have interesting food options and starters with unique flavors and although the food was a bit bland for my taste I liked the overall presentation and uniqueness of the food. The service is good and friendly and the place is not too loud. I will definitely recommend it. read more

Zero flavor with a confused menu. Everything we had lacked basic seasoning let alone Mexican flavors. I felt like I was pranked eating here. It wasn't nasty but it wasn't good. The one star is for the friendly staff. read more

Food was expensive and tasteless. Server was nice. Octopus mushy. Chicken overcooked, dry, under seasoned, lamb shank over priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was empty...that should have been our first clue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My wife, Cheryl, and I dined at Adrian's on Saturday. The experience was wonderful. The food, wine and service were excellent. Marco, our server, was professional, accurate and attentive. He is also an excellent singer. He gave a beautiful performance for a young lady (after asking permission from other diners) that was inspiring. Go Marco! Great restaurant with heart and soul! read more

Great food and service. We also enjoyed several of the specialty cocktails. They were very accommodating of our special requests. read more

I liked them because they are different. Looks like a nice Mexican restaurant and not as the stereotype one. There are lots of options around, and maybe that's why it wasn't that busy. Staf was very helpful and friendly. They gave us first some delicious warm refried beans. We added some guacamole. Then our complete order arrived quickly. Enchiladas were cooked beautifully as well as the tortilla soup. Amazing soup! I haven't had a real one outside from Mexico. We also had the mole with great arroz verde!!; very soft octopus, and a tasty lentil soup (I would make sure carrots aren't frozen). Dessert was very good! Flan was OK, but the Mandarin Cheesecake was awesome! Cute little cheesecake ball! I wish it could be bigger, hahaha :D Drinks were amazing! We had the pear and regular margaritas and the carajillo later on. I will come back for the Oaxacan old fashioned!! I would add a changing table in restrooms and an easier way to move around the door for special needs or strollers. read more

Been here numerous times but sat at the bar and Vivian is amazing. Her exceptional customer service is hard to find in Bellevue. She is so attentive and caring. Never a moment when my glass was empty. Sat with a group of regulars and we all became one big group and she was so on point to ensure we were taken care of with food and drinks. She is SO friendly and has great recommendations on food and drinks. I was at the bar for good 4 hours and enjoyed every minute with her. Wish there was more of her in the restaurant business. Adrian's doesn't disappoint with food and beverages it their customer service is outstanding !!! read more

First time at Adrian's - a really nice meal and experience but several items keep it from being 5 stars! Our server was wonderful and the white tablecloths gave a fancy-meal feel that you normally don't get with Mexican food... cocktails were tasty and colorful! Our food was delicious - I enjoyed the Duck Mole that was perfectly prepared... all enjoyed the entrees. Now the areas of improvement: 1) The timing was off... we ordered our second round of drinks at the same time as our food, but they were not delivered until our plates were completely cleaned... their arrival always anticlimactic since we had finished our meal! He apologized but no credit was given on our tab. 2) The price point is high and relative value low... our prawn appetizer was delicious but $5 / prawn is ridiculous... $32 for 6 prawns? The carne asada tacos were also tasty, but the amount of steak for $36 was paltry... our bill for 6 people was $500 and we skipped dessert. read more

Best service in Bellevue my favorite go to spot will be coming here a lot highly recommend

We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating two birthdays (ladies night out) at Adrian's in Bellevue, and it was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had. From the moment we arrived, Roberto and the entire staff greeted us with such warmth and genuine hospitality -- we instantly felt welcome and cared for. The highlight of the evening was a surprise serenade by a very talented waiter who sang a beautiful song in Spanish. It was so moving that it brought one of the birthday ladies to tears of joy -- such a special and emotional moment that we'll never forget. The food was just as amazing as the service. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the octopus and ceviche were particular standouts -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. On top of that, they went above and beyond by making a quesadilla off-menu for a 3-year-old, in our group, which was so thoughtful and appreciated by her mom. If you're looking for a restaurant in Bellevue to celebrate a special occasion -- or just want a night filled with great food, heartfelt service, and memorable-- Adrian's is the place. read more

Let me start by saying their drinks hit. I took Adrian's cocktail I think - it had Don Julio and it took me high. So definitely it's a A+ Tequila bar place. The food is delicious too. Very nice plating and presentation. I went on Valentine's Eve and the place was totally packed. Definitely the best Mexican restaurant in Old Bellevue. Food is fresh and refreshing. I would recommend trying their Pescado Veracruzana which is a cuisine made out of seasonal fish - at this time they are serving Halibut and it's so delicious!! read more

This is by far our favourite restaurant in Bellevue. The service the food everything about this place is exceptional and they go above and beyond to ensure that you have an amazing experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is definitely a little small but also keeps it intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The margaritas here are some of the best and their wagyu tacos are to die for. This is definitely more of an upscale Mexican restaurant but worth the money. If you ask me. Adrian the owner is usually behind the bar and his family works in the restaurant and it truly feels like they do the most to keep you happy. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about the experience we just had here. Came in for my mom's birthday. The staff was AMAZING and made her feel so special.

Husband and I came here on a Saturday around 5:00 and it was empty. The cocktails were strong and service was friendly. The food was flavorful and of good quality, right down to the small dips and sides. There are a couple parking spots dedicated to the restaurant behind the building. Other than that, good luck. $60 for each of our steak fajitas, and $20 for each cocktail. I'll be going again just for the guacamole that wasn't all onion. read more

What an exceptional experience. Going out to eat is expensive these days, so we are picky, but we popped into this place for a quick HH. Little did we know how incredible it would be! The nachos were 100/10, the margarita was PERFECT, not too sweet, and the employees (family of the owner) were truly incredible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a fabulous neighborhood spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be going back and trying dinner next time! read more

Located in old Bellevue- lucky and got one of the few parking spots on the back by Ginza. The server gave advice on cocktails and adding an egg on the enchiladas. The octopus appetizer was so tender and flavorful. The pork chop was a generous portion but was a bit dry. They did ask how I wanted it to be prepared but I wasn't brave enough to go any less than medium. Great ambiance for our GNO and the waiter even sang a Spanish song for us. Really fun to see this family owned restaurant in the area. read more

This is a really nice upscale Mexican restaurant with a huge selection of tequilas & unique homemade Mexican food. We started with a nice white wine, my husband got beer & a shot & then I got their special tequila drink with fresh lime- so good. When you sit down you are served homemade chips & bean dip- delicious! We decided on an order of spicy prawns to share- so good & definitely spicy. We wanted to share some more appetizers so we got the tower with veggies & crab- so good then we got the one with crab & salmon cervichi -it was delicious! For an entree we got the Enchilada Verdes to share- amazing! Our friend order the Adrian salad with salmon & we were all too full so we took it to go. read more

Just stopped by for an evening night cap with my girlfriend and loved it. She got tequila espresso martini was fantastic. It's almost refreshing and lighter than a normal one. Highly recommend! I got the mezcal old fashioned and it was incredible as usual. A hint of smoke from the mezcal ties everything together so well! The service was amazing. We were checked on so frequently and felt like anytime we needed anything it was almost instantaneous. It is perfect later in the evening because the lights are lower and the ambiance is quieter. It feels like a classy place to grab a drink in an intimate setting. Can't wait to come back :) read more

I was visiting the area from Dallas and this quaint and charming restaurant was a highlight of my stay. The service was special, very professional and truly enjoyable to be around. Not sure why people were complaining about the seating..we were sat right away! They even accommodated us last minute to sit by the window. They were really helpful in making suggestions for drinks and food choices. I would definitely recommend their shrimp tacos (oh my gosh these are good) and the bone in ribeye was so delicious with a very creamy and comforting mashed potato! For drinks I would say you can't leave without trying the espresso martini, cosmopolitan, or their jalapeño margarita! There are so many places to choose from in the area but if you're looking for amazing food and a truly special and intimate experience, definitely go with Adrian's. read more

Walked away from this meal feeling like my wife and I were scammed. This is a high end restaurant, expect to pay $50-$70 a dish. The quality of the food, in presentation, taste and execution, was very, very poor. I ordered the "de-boned half chicken" which was served as a bone-in leg and thigh (not a half chicken), very small portion, well over cooked and dry with minimal seasoning. The sides were underwhelming. My wife ordered the Carne Asada platter, which is traditionally a nice piece of Skirt Steak - in this case I believe it was a piece of chuck or roast, cut thin and without flavor. Insult to injury were the tortillas, which were generic tortillas you might find at Costco - you'd expect something closer to homemade from a Mexican restaurant at this price point. Honestly, had we ordered this from a food struck and paid 1/4 of the cost, it would still be a 1 or 2 star review. It was empty on a Friday night which should have been an indicator. The 4.4 Star rating is a bit baffling... read more

Had dinner here with coworkers. It was a place our boss suggested and it was well worth it! The drinks are FIRE! I had the El Diablo (think spicy marg) and it was so good! My other coworker went down the list of drinks lol but he liked all of them! Stopped halfway through. The service was amazing! From the host to the servers they were all friendly and helpful! The ambiance was chill. Definitely a fancy Mexican restaurant but with a homey feel. I got the bisque as an app but wasn't a fan however their chicken tortilla soup was really good and so was the steak! read more
