It's their soft opening, so I expect things to change some, but overall it was good! I'm from New Mexico. While I never expect anything too authentic this far from home, any place using hatch chile I'm all for (FYI nothing to do with eggs, it's grown in a town called Hatch, NM). The prickly pear margarita ($13) was good, though they forgot the grand mariner float. Chalk up to soft opening. Hoping they have a drink happy hour at some point. Ordered the shredded pork burrito ($19), smothered "Christmas style". In New Mexico there's 2 versions of the chile pepper that's the staple spice there. One is green chile. The other is red chile. It's the same pepper, it just turns red when you let it ripen. I liked that the green sauce had some spice. I know it's Seattle so they can't make anything too hot and spicy or the PNW native delicate flowers will wilt or die in agony. Still, was gald to taste some spice. The red sauce had a nice flavor too, no real spice. The pork was great, I love it had some crispy edges, it wasn't just flaccid pulled pork. Looking forward to trying some other items when they go offical. My dream: give customers an option-- hot or mild. I'd love some deep, dark, hot, smoky, red sauce made from hatch red chile pods. The kind that near permanently stains your clothes if you get it on you. Type you'd get at The Shed in Santa Fe or Sadie's in Albuquerque. I can dream. The atmosphere was contemporary and cool, befitting Belltown. Service was fine, people were nice. I wish them well from a former "burque~no"! read more

We enjoyed our dinner! Food was delicious, drinks were delectable, service was great! Good ambiance. Definitely will be back.

Leaving two stars because the food was awful, but the service was and the drinks were good. The food had no flavor and it was really disappointing. We ordered the chips, salsa, guacamole, queso fundido, fry bread tacos, popcorn chicken, and ribs. The meat for all the dishes weren't seasoned and had no taste. The queso was ok but wasn't worth the price. read more

Fantastic late night menu! Great place to go post game or concert. Love the house margs, ask for the off-menu deep-fried ice cream!

As soon as we walked in the place had such a great vibe but then we tasted the food and it was off the chain. Popcorn chicken tacos were out of this world and so good we went back twice that week of our visit. read more

Went here with some friends on Cinco de Mayo and had a great time. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was great! I appreciated that it wasn't overly Americanized Azteca food. All sauces and hot sauces were quite tasty as well. My only complaint was the music. It was insanely loud to the point you couldn't hear the person next to you. We made a joke to the waitress about how loud the music was, but she couldn't hear us and said "huh?" Even for a soft opening this place is doing pretty well. I'm excited to see what this place will become in a few months after the "newness" gets worked out. read more

This has definitely become my favorite local spot in Belltown! I end up here almost every weekend for their brunch and bottomless mimosas the staff is incredibly cool and it really provides an awesome environment that has started to feel like home! read more

This block has a few must try restaurants & hatch cantina is definitely one of them! Servers were very friendly & food was amazing. The pork ribs were some of the softest I've had in my life. They provide table side salsas of various spice levels which paired well with the queso fundido. Generous portions for all items so I did not leave hungry. Very modern & relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely be returning. read more

Tried this new spot tonight. Giving it 2 stars for decent service but food was awful. I mean truly inedible. Burger completely soaked in a cream chile sauce, fried chicken bites so salty they were inedible (and I LOVE fried chicken!), and carnitas so deep fried they were leathery and also so ridiculously salty. Why do much salt?? Even the the side of pintos was so salty we couldn't eat them. They offered us a different meal in compensation but why would we want any more bad food?? I get that cooks are hard to find and you're working things out in a new restaurant but there is so much amazing Mexican and TexMex in this town that I just can't justify coming back again just to leave hungry. There's just no excuse for serving terrible Mexican food in Seattle, even with the trendy vibe and Belltown location. read more

Dinner was delicious and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed the spicy margaritas, micheladas, salsa, guacamole, queso and chips. The Hatch Green Chile Soup was absolutely amazing! We'll definitely be going back! read more

The drinks were ok, service was good, lunch menu was terrible. Food was not authentic. Using Las Cruces and Hatch as a selling point. I am from New Mexico and I came here because of the name and wanted to support my state, the food was spurious New Mexico cuisine. I will not be returning. read more

I came, on a whim. It was too late for food. But their drinks are killer and their service is friendly and knowledgeable. I left happy and the right kinda drunk! read more

We loved it! We are from Colorado and have been in Hatch NM many times. The queso was great, the Colorado Mushroom burrito was great. We had the Xmas Chile and the pork green Chile was the best I have ever had. Highly recommend! read more

Had a great experience at Hatch last weekend! The food was fresh and portions were generous. The beef Colorado tacos had a layer of fried cheese...amazing. Service was on point - multiple staff came by to check if we needed anything, but not to the point of being too often. Will be back to try other dishes next time! read more

Delicious, authentic New Mexican cuisine. Excellent balance, table salsa(s) are insanely delicious. Yes, you want dessert, it's amazing. Coming back for brunch when it starts! read more

Great food, great drinks, and caring owner. Four of us went there for supper tonight. Had a very enjoyable evening. Food is unique and flavorful (fried cheese tacos, Royal Ranch Beef burrito, stacked enchiladas to name a few). Owner recognized two from our group from having been there before and made sure we all felt welcomed this time. Service was good as well. Will definitely go back read more

WOW! Visiting Seattle for the first time and were enticed by the wonderful aromas coming from Hatch Cantina.... We were not disappointed! This is definitely the kind of place you want to bring your friends and family. Friendly helpful staff, great prices, and most importantly delicious food. My husband and I shared a red and green burrito (It was huge!) A side of pork shoulder (tender and yummy) Jason, the owner and manager stopped by our table to see how we enjoyed our meal. I was obvious he is very proud of his restaurant and when you get the opportunity to eat there you will see why. read more

Great food & drinks! I love the ambiance and the staff was so friendly. Can't wait to come back soon and try some more items on the menu. read more

Randomly stopped here with my husband and we were so pleasantly surprised. This spot is somewhat new, but the menu was full of fantastic offerings with authentic hatch Chile items, the salsas were incredible, and the service was great. 10/10 recommend read more

Went for their weekend brunch which can't be missed! All the food was delicious! Portions are generous for the price and we had enough leftovers for a second meal. Definitely recommend the table bakery basket to share and the 4 corners Benedict. Chill ambiance and open layout. Will be back ! read more

Great atmosphere. I am from the southwest and the food is very authentic. The staff was amazing. They were very friendly and attentive.

Service was a bit slow and could use some improvement. The manager asked me what I wanted to order when I didn't even have a menu. I ordered the popcorn chicken which was ok. I also ordered the deep fried ice cream which was really good! read more

We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night - the service was speedy and friendly, the tacos (carnitas and "popcorn" chicken) were scrumptious! The salsa and chips also great! The best part for us was the trio of sauces they bring to your table to add to your entrees or to have with the chips - a green chili salsa, a hot red sauce, and a savory Mexican style chili crisp type of sauce that was SO flavorful and delicious! My prickly Pear Margarita hit the spot as well! We met one of the owners and tried to talk him into opening a Hatch Cantina where we live - love this place!! read more

The food is excellent, with the tacos and cocktails especially being to die for! The different margaritas are amazing.

We were lured in by cheerfully glowing lights on a rainy afternoon when the weight of our responsibilities drove us out for a walk in search of sustenance and an attitude adjustment. Inside we were greeted by Jason; the consumate host for both the Hatch Cantina and Seattle. He introduced us to more of the real Seattle and at the same time made us feel like a part of it. The recommended Hatch Green Chile Stew delivered the perfect blend of mouthwatering flavor, sumptuous texture, and smoldering heat. I want to say it was the star of our experience but then came the margaritas! Unparalleled. Finally, as we delayed taking our somewhat inebriated selves back to our work, along came Amber to cheerfully engage us and help us enjoy our experience just a little more. I can't recommended this place more. read more

Hatch Cantina - Look at that salt on these margaritas! - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best customer service experience in a long time. Three of us came for girls night out. The owner personally checked on us twice & was so kind. I think he truly loves his job & it shows. Excellent drinks & you must try the Brussel sprouts! Everything was fresh & tasty! Cannot wait to come back read more

Excellent queso and chips. Red/green sauce burrito was also really good to share. Muy bueno. P.s. The service/waitress was excellent and helped recommend tasty dishes. read more

1. Food amazing 2. Staff amazing 3. House Margs 10x Specials all week, great place to bring the colleagues! read more

Hands down the BEST food and service I've ever had in my life and the salsas are to die for! i can't say enough great things about this restaurant and I would make a special trip to Seattle for this restaurant alone!!!! Love is an understatement! The only negative is that it's 8+ hours from home. read more

This was our first time visiting and I must say we were quite disappointed. The queso seemed whipped and didn't taste much like cheese. The addition of beans and chilies in it was great though. We got the popcorn chicken which was tasty, the sauce was great. We also go the beef Colorado tacos which had decent flavor but were so so salty which ruined it. The staff was friendly but I wouldn't go back. read more

To start off The waitress had an attitude like if she didn't have a purpose to be there The chefs need to rethink their career or go back to school and learn how to cook. The salsa was watered down The water tasted like it came from the sewer The popcorn chicken was cooked on high for 30 minutes, felt like I was chewing into caracol P.S They are so unprofessional they were reading the review and laughing at it in front of me. read more

Celebrating a friends birthday and came across Hatch Cantina and decided to pop in. We were greeted by amazing staff and the owner who made sure we had everything we needed and recommended things to try. What was just going to be drinks (amazing by the way) ended up staying for dinner and which was fantastic, you have to try the mushroom burrito!! Will be coming back and recommend this place for any occasion! read more

Excellent food and service here. Nice ambiance. Owner and server were very accommodating.

Just sad overall. The drinks were great, but I ordered the popcorn chicken, looking forward to some GF deep fried goodness and the SW salad. Salad was sorely underdressed, and the chicken was dry and flavorless. I let the staff know and nothing was removed from my check. As a SW girl, I was looking forward to this but left hungry and craving some real hatch chili flavors. The other entrees looked good, and maybe I'll try something new next time but damn. A miss for me. read more

I love this place! I stumbled upon it yesterday and I'm so glad I stopped by to give it a chance. The atmosphere was nice and chill and the staff was all very friendly. The owner, Jason, is a really cool guy with infectious energy. You can tell he's doing what he loves and that passion translates into the quality of the atmosphere, food, and staff that work there. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Ordered the pork ribs and being from Oklahoma I expected dry ribs with sauce on the side. I was pleasantly surprised with well smoked ribs and a delicious sauce. The queso dip had a good taste, but was a little thick and turned out to be more than a dip with full beans. The food was delicious, but the guy who served us was overbearing and extra. Not sure if he was a server or someone more than that but he was too much for a good dining experience. read more

SAT 20 AUG 2022 ~ Fantastic! Service, Cuisine and Atmosphere/Decor all at the 5* level. Jason and his friendly and highly professional team all working like a well oiled machine provided exceptional customer service during our maiden visit to The Hatch Cantina/Seattle. We marveled at the decor, with its beautiful interior design. All kinds of eye catching details, from coordinating color choices to architectural features that please the eye The food left us speechless and highly satisfied, with the presentation (check out the "Cowboy Steak"), to tender and tasty entrees, that showed a high caliber chef skill set. Very nice bar set-up, with a vast array of tequilas, mixed by a friendly & smiling bartender. We felt welcomed and appreciated by the manager & staff, and, were invited back. The Hatch Cantina/Seattle is well on its way to becoming the "must go" destination for fine Southwestern cuisine, if not for fine dining, period. read more

We had a great experience here. The food was great and the owner and staff were all super friendly. We came here during happy hour and had the queso, quesadilla and hatch Chile fries. All were really good. read more

Food is super yum, unique drinks, and ambience is neat too. Really good for group gatherings if you make a reservation.

Amazing food and fantastic service. Great neighborhood vibe, tequila selection, and the games are on Sundays.
