    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
    Kjerstin R.

    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!

    We just moved into the neighborhood and wanted a spot for taco Tuesday! We were happy to come across this spot as the food and drinks were so good. We also got 2 margarita and they were strong! The server was really fast to make sure we made the happy hour cut off and food arrived extremely fast! We would 100% come back!

    What a little hidden gem! This place is soooo good!…read more They don't have free chips and salsa but you can get them for $4 not over pricey. I can't even name what I had but it was like a chicken taquito and it was so good. The chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the Mexican rice was super good! I would come here again. Give it a try! The inside is super cute too.

    This was my second time at El Quetzal, and I already know it's going to become one of my regular…read morespots. If you come here, you HAVE to order the fish tacos. They're super refreshing, light, and flavorful, and the apple slaw on top gives the perfect fresh crunch with a little sweetness that balances everything so well. It's one of those dishes that sounds simple but is surprisingly memorable. This time around, I decided to branch out and order the carne asada plate. The standout for me was honestly the Mexican rice probably some of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. It was flavorful, fluffy, and tasted homemade instead of like an afterthought side dish. The carne asada itself was a little dry this visit, which was the only downside, but overall the plate was still really good. The service both times I've come has been friendly and attentive, and the inside of the restaurant is so cute and cozy. It has that hidden gem feeling where you almost don't want too many people finding out about it because it feels special. Definitely a spot worth trying if you're in the area.
