    Fish tacos with "egg batter" - don't worry it's not egg fwd.: Get these!
    Julian G.

    TLDR: Fairly Mid Americanized Mexican spot, good for non-adventurous eaters, kids, your parents, or folks new to the food scene. Food: - Tacos el pastor - C: a fairly dry needs sauce tortillas were great. - Fish tacos - B-: I would get these again Drinks: Sangria - B: Pretty ok Margarita - C+: Pretty ok Vibe: - Staff is VERY friendly. - Abundance of LGBTQ Flags and decor (this might be a LGBTQ bar?) - Lively, and good for a group. What can be better?: Pretty much everything needs polish. But again, this is just a mid approachable americanized "Mexican" restaurant, and I feel thats what the majority of folks are looking for.

    Chicken nachos

    My friends and I tried this place because it was one of the restaurants participating in Plate of Nations. We came in and the restaurant was pretty empty - which was a bummer because the food was delicious and the space inside was so pretty and bright. We shared the chicken nachos and an array of tacos, steak and Al pastor. The food was delicious! I got a margarita and that was also tasty. I'd recommend trying this place out and we look forward to coming back again.

    Chicken mole enchiladas

    Decent Mexican restaurant in Beacon Hill. I never went to their old location so I did not know what to expect. I tried the chicken mole enchiladas and it was pretty good! The vibe inside was fun which I very much enjoyed and the service was good. It's also a prime location being right next to the light rail!

    Big delish Bloody Mary and giant breakfast burrito, salsa and crema
    Jeremy W.

    Great food, great prices, great drinks, great people, great location. I've been coming here for many years, bit first time in the new location. It's very light and colorful, lots of cool art and fun music. I came on a Saturday for brunch, got the breakfast burrito $12 and a bloody Mary $13. The burrito was big and delicious. Same with the Bloody Mary. Good for kids and for adults. There's a bar section and a family dining section. Very inviting ambiance. Gotta go, peace out and party on my fellow Yelpians. Be good and always tip your people. Love hugs and good times for all.

    Fish tacos w. Flour tortillas

    Reviewing for: After work snacks Super excited to see the new space they redesigned (with the support of La Union!) and grab some after work snacks on a friday. Location: easy to get to and accessible via light rail- there's street parking as well but it's become more limited with restaurants open so go early to find a spot on the street. Food: My friend and I ordered the fish tacos and the rockfish ceviche. The ceviche was my favorite of the two and would definitely have it again. We weren't drinking but they did have drink specials- $ off wells and beers. Space + Service: Loved that they had two spaces that joined together- there's a bar 21+ and then a restaurant area where the restrooms are located. Although we weren't drinking, we opted for bar to avoid kids. Plenty of seating and can't wait to be back for their drag performances on Fridays! Bathrooms were superb- two gender neutral bathrooms and perfect for bathroom photos. Service was great- bartender was patient as we chose and we hung around well after we finished our food. Overall: This place feels like a community restaurant/locals spot. It was nice to see owners and locals convene for a few shots after work and can't wait to be back! Great job, baja!

    I like this place. Occasionally the food a little less awesome, but tonight was a very good night. And the margaritas are good and strong.

    Best Margaritas in Seattle, and probably farther. I also highly recommend the pork burrito and the potato tacos are also surprisingly good.

    I love the food here! The outdoor back patio is lovely and covered, and they even have heaters and…read moreblankets for those extra cold mornings! I had the monte cristo savory crepe recently and it was DELICIOUS. I also highly recommend the ever changing coffee cake, it is so so good! Get that and a POG mimosa! On the weekends they have a rotating hashbrown casserole that is a must if you are there! (Get there early because it sells out fast!) Too many good things about this place to list. Definitely worth going here for breakfast. The food, beverages, and especially the service are amazing and just wonderful. Looking forward to the next time I get to enjoy the delicious food at Hangar!

    We read the reviews and knew that we'd be in for a long wait but decided to come by anyway and ask…read more It was about 11pm on a saturday and we were told that the wait for food would be 45 minutes. I think there were less than 15 tables so it seemed strange that it would take that long but decided to try it anyway. The setting for this cafe is pretty nice so we were anticipating an equally good experience with service and food. The food took 1 hour and 20 minutes from when we places our order to when it arrived.. the server was very nice and offered free drinks but at that point we wanted to just have our meal and leave. It was even more disappointing when we tasted the food and found it mediocre. The crepe we ordered was undercooked on the inside. We probably could have gone grocery shopping and whipped this up for less time and money. The prices are pretty high considering that they're serving breakfast food. We really wanted to like this place :(
