I stop by here several times a year for a meal or a margarita. I've never been disappointed in the quality of the food or the service. They make your meal right in front of you and customization is instant. The food is always hot and delicious. read more

Owner kicked people out of the during an active shooting, claimed the shooter was waiting for them. Do not give them your business. Bad food, tastes bad. Terrible ambiance. Unethical ownership. Taco Bell is better than this place, all day. read more

I've been coming here for over 13 years and usually my first stop after arriving in Seattle. Convenient location from my hotel and just across from another one of my favorite restaurants, Toulouse Petit. Pictured is their Taco Salad with carne asada which is my first time having this as I normally order tacos or their enchiladas. What I liked about this salad was that everything was fresh with purple cabbage which was crunchy as well as the tortilla chips. This salad does not come with the Spanish rice but I asked for it after realizing it did not come with it. This place has not changed from my initial visit and I even recognized the cashier who has been here for 25 years. $18.46 was the total with the soda not including my tip. read more

It's been some months since I was here but I thought I would go ahead and give my impressions. The location was convenient, close to my hotel, and just a couple of blocks from Climate Pledge Arena. On a cold, rainy day the warm, dry interior was a welcome respite. The menu offers the typical Mexican fare. I tried the Torta with steak. Generally, the sandwich was tasty. However, the slice of steak was tough to eat - I had trouble chewing through it because of the the thick sinew, so tough that I took the meat out of the sandwich and tried to chew through the sinew, finally just putting the meat aside and eating the rest of the sandwich, which was actually quite good. read more

Stopped in here with the family before an event at Climate pledge . Pros -Close and walking distance to CP -casual and quick - walk in and order at the counter, then head left to order drinks and pay. Reasonable prices. - yes to the freshly squeezed margarita! - the fam was thrilled with the pork carnitas , steak and al pastor tacos, me with my very tasty taco salad. I'm not sure why I thought their queso would be better and their tortillas chips are not my fav. Would y order again. read more

Went here on a Tuesday afternoon, mostly empty with another group and a few grabbing to go. The service workers were nice but had a hard time understanding us. Overall the food was just fine. I felt like the steak especially was tough to eat and didn't have much taste. Also the bathrooms were temporarily closed, would avoid going back.

Apparently they call you before making orders if you are a new customer. Called once, I missed it, no text, no voicemail so they decided not to make my order. Showed up to pick it up and they hadn't even started. Waited for them to make it but should've just asked to cancel. Subpar food. I'd rather just go to chipotle. read more

My wife and I stopped by here with our gambling buddies right before going to a comedy show at the arena up the street. It was the perfect spot on a busy night for a quick bite. The Birria quesadilla was perfectly balanced. Be sure to order consomme to dip it in. The Carna asada salad was light and refreshing but the star of the show was their fresh and delicious Margherita! That is a must when in that area. Also this is an order first before seating style restaurant, make sure to check the menu online before heading in. Chimi Rat 4 stars, gang gang ya'll. read more

I went here after an extremely long day hiking and walking around Seattle. I was starving and needed a good meal and went with my cousin since he heard it was good. WOW! We were shocked we were the only ones there since it was a stellar 5 Stars!! The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating as well as delicious food and fantastic prices for this area of Seattle. The portions were huge (as shown in the picture) and I got the carnitas quesadilla plate with an absolutely tons of sides (practically as many items as you wanted and as much with no extra cost). Even though I was starving I still had leftovers. One of the best Mexican places I've been to recently. Highly recommend. read more

Blue Water Taco Grill - Pork Carnitas Quesadilla Plate - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

No, I'm not going back to this place. I got a stomachache right after. A 45-dollar snack should be atleast good. We only had nachos, tacos, and salsa & chips actually since that's they only thing they serve that time. The meat was gross, there's a bad after taste. Not edible. The guacamole? If there's an artificial guacamole, I'm pretty sure it tasted like that. And yes, we did not eat the food. Only the chips. Overall, the price is pretty expensive for this extremely low quality of food. Check my posted picture for our left overs. read more

We had a department celebration last week and catered our food from Blue Water Taco Grill, and we could not be happier. Not only were they on time, but they also set it up for us. And one thing we all appreciated...all the containers were marked so we knew whether we were about to dip our chip into a mild or hot salsa. The food was awesome and plentiful. We will be ordering from them again. Hopefully soon. read more

Worst mexican I ever had. The meat in the chicken street tacos was so hard I could not cut it black beans had a sour smell. ALL salsa was HOT. My other half had carnitas burrito loaded with onion which was not listed as an ingredient they over powered the burrito. So I paid 50.00 for really a bad lunch.Think Taco Bell would have been a better bet. read more

Easily the best grab-and-go burrito in town! My go-to is the Tinga Chicken Burrito with everything + guac. The ingredients are always fresh and super crisp. Blue Water offers a huge variety of toppings, salsas, sauces and even several pepper varieties to choose from. Quick story about the staff: I came in for lunch about two weeks ago. Ordered a burrito, got to the register, then realized I had forgot my wallet at home (they don't have ApplePay). And the staff was so kind and understanding!!!!! They let me enjoy my burrito and asked I come back later that day to pay for my meal! I was shocked at their kindness and excellent service. I came back after work and paid for my lunch, with tip included of course. Seriously, thank you!! I was rushing over my lunch break and the folks at Blue Water saved my day. I'll never forget that :) Great food, even better people! You've got a loyal customer for life! read more

So my kid doesn't like veggies- went in and said " 3 street tacos just chicken and cheese". The guy nodded. A woman came up to the counter and starting asking me questions I did not understand. So I said," Yes three tacos but just chicken and cheese." She threw up her hands and rolled her eyes and then started saying something I didn't understand. I tried Spanish and smiling. " pollo y queso tacos- tres por mi niño" She turned to the guy said something again in a condescending loud tone and rolled her eyes throwing up her hands again and then left. I really felt uncomfortable. I was about to say forget it but I felt bad for my kid who was hungry. Tacos were small but decent. Guy that made them was nice and I got the tacos correctly in the end but I had to stop him from putting beans and rice on the plate. I said perfecto and tipped him but damn, I wish I knew how to say rude in Spanish! Also they were working on the ceiling that was over the food during working hours so there's that too. read more

Was not a fan! The staff wasn't very friendly and the food had no flavor. We came before a kraken game, they were supposed to check our vax cards but their staff was so disorganized they literally forgot??? But they checked my parents?? We ordered their taco salad, which isn't a taco salad at all. It's a handful of tortilla chips off to the side and a "taco salad" on the other side of the plate. Tasted like water. We came with my parents, and we were very clearly all together in one party. You order at the front like a chipotle and then seat yourself after the food is ready. They took my parents order and my boyfriend and I stood waiting for our order to be placed for like 5+ minutes until I almost had to yell "Can I order?!" They just straight up ignored us. Not a great experience. Would not come back. read more

Got takeout online. Turned out to be ready 20 minutes before Yelp told me but I assume that's on Yelp. Veggie burrito bowl - 2.5/5. Pre shredded cheese. Relatively simple ingredients. Felt more like a home made dish than from a restaurant. Not the best value at $13. read more

The people working here refused to speak to me in English even tough we are currently in th USA and I am from Mexico originally and speak both fluently. The "cashier person" then proceeded to mock me and call me an American in anyone suggested he thought very little of Americans(I was born in Mexico and my mother is Mexican, I hold duel citizenship). read more

Blue Water Taco Grill - How is this carne asada?!? - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here on a whim since most places nearby was a long wait. Guests will order their food like if you were at Chipotle/Subway. They have a huge menu up top, and their daily special on the chalk board. Pre-portioned and cut meats are in the fridge until ordered, and the staff makes it when you order it right in front of you. You then slide down to the cashier who will ring you up. If you are looking for a lemonade or horchata, they're already filled in a cup for you in a bed of ice. You must request for ice for your drink. I believe the concept is good, but it can get a bit chaotic. The food was okay. If you look at this like Mexican fast food, then it's not too shabby. They have a good variety of combo plates, large burritos, and a number of salsas to choose from. The dining area is not too large, although they do have an outside patio seating with outdoor heaters. Mind you, the patio is towards the back of the restaurant where you have to pass through the restrooms. You clean up yourself and bring your dishes to the bin. Prices aren't too bad for what you're getting. Don't forget, it's street or lot parking only. read more

Tastes bad and is not worth it. Meats were cut very smash that you can not feel the grain. Rice is too much, the whole eating time like chew a rice roll with a lot of sauce. I've had the same type of taco in San Diego before, and the meat there was bigger and more substantial. read more

Excellent and personable service! Arturo made such an amazing impression, he was friendly and helpful throughout the evolution of my original burrito bowl to taco salad (since I did not want rice or beans). I thought my salad was good and substantial (I did order an extra meat). I would definitely return to try more. I was impressed with the grilled vegetables, a mix of onion, squash, mushrooms, and bell pepper. The restaurant was adorable, inviting, and clean! Looking forward to returning soon! read more

We went in about 30 minutes before close on a tuesday and the worker was very happy, he made great conversation while we were waiting for our food. The food was amazing they balance to get the most flavor. If you want mexican food i highly recommend this. read more

I only order one thing from here: calamari tostada no onions and with black beans. And this one item has satisfy my taste bud so much that I seriously come here once or even twice a week. Solid margaritas as well. If you play nice with the employees, you can make that margarita even more solid. What I love about this place is that everything is so fresh. They make it per order and you can even get an avocado that they'll dice up in front of you! I've heard some people (in line) complain that the service here is bad and they don't wait on you. So here is a forewarning: this place is not a fancy five star dining establishment. It's a Mexican restaurant with fresh, authentic, and delicious food. They'll make it for you, but you will have to do the rest on your own. But from my experiences, the employees here are super friendly and welcoming. read more

A good neighborhood Mexican joint. I hit this place often during SIFF and Seattle Center events. Everything is made fresh to order so it can take a while some times.

The Queen Anne location of Blue Water Taco Grill offers in my opinion the tastiest steak burrito of any of the fast food burrito joints out there. In fact it is my favorite burrito as far as any Mexican restaurant that serves burritos. The steak is cooked fresh as soon as you order it as they have the raw meat already chopped and marinating. Every ingredient they put into the burrito from there from the pico de gallo, cheese, to the spicy salsa is succulent and you can taste every flavor of it when biting into the burrito. To get a 5 star from me takes a lot but I can't think of any other way to express my love for this place. Only thing I could say is that it prices on the higher end of QSR burrito joints as my burrito with a drink goes for around 12 bucks. Well worth it and still five stars. read more

Blue Water Taco Grill - Steak burrito - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very hearty meal- huge portions all made to order and plenty of drink options both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Very friendly staff. Took a point off as the temperature inside the restaurant was so uncomfortable that we left early. The outdoor seating was limited by the size of our party and the presence of nearby smokers. No air conditioning on a 85-90 degree day was just too uncomfortable. Counter service and you bus your own tables. I'd go back on a cooler day. read more

Blue Water Taco Grill - Today's special is salmon tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I found this location when I moved to the neighborhood and it's become one of my "go to" locations for a quick lunch (takeout or more recently, sit in) on a work from home day. The people behind the counter are friendly and get to know you if you're a regular. After a while, they'll know and remember your regular faves and how you like them prepared. Tacos, quesadillas, and nachos are all very good and are my typical fare at lunch. Other things look good as well. The only downside is that it gets busy and they "single thread" orders so the waits can be a bit long at the busiest times. That's become more apparent as the number of people out and about has increased. read more

I've found my go-to Mexican in this entire state now, and it's Blue Water Taco Grill in Queen Anne!! I've ordered here twice through Uber Eats when I work out here, and once in person in the last week and a half. I believe what sets them apart from all the other mexican food places i've had, is Blue Water's unbeatable prices and how fresh and tasty their food is. Nothing is plan from here! Everything down to their sauce has so much flavor. I never have a blan or overly salty bite! I also admire that their deliciously stuffex burritos don't rip in the packaging! They're strong! They went above and beyond on one of my Uber Eats orders by adding some chips! Speaking of Uber Eats, I must add their attention to detail, because when I've requested light on the cheese, each time it came with light cheese on top. I will definitely recommend this mexican grill to everyone looking for a quick, reasonable and tasty bite to eat!!! read more

While visiting Seattle, we stopped at this small little place...I ordered a calamari taco with a small margarita. I'm pretty familiar with how calamari should be cooked and taste like! This is by far one of the best tacos I've had! The calamari steak was sliced thin and added into the taco with cilantro, pico de Gallo, and such. Wow...they were very generous with everything that went in!!! I highly recommend it!!!! read more

I visited Seattle for a few days and randomly stumbled upon this little restaurant - I'm so glad I did! The staff was extremely friendly, the menu was filled with a plethora of options (that were not overwhelming), and, most importantly, the food tasted amazing! I ordered the Street Tacos Plate with chicken. Oftentimes, grilled chicken can be dry and flavorless, but the chicken here was juicy and tasted great. The burrito bar toppings all looked very fresh. The interior was super cute as well, there was lots of cool art and a big mural that I enjoyed a lot. I will definitely come back again if I'm ever in the area :) read more

Who knew Seattle actually has good Mexican food? This is the style we like. Fresh, coastal cuisine. Shades of San Diego. The food is healthy and fresh. Amazing prices.

Preparation is fast and efficient. My one knock on the place is the lack of a salsa bar. read more
