    I was impressed with the tacos! My favorite was the pork belly although it was quite spicy. The birrira was also very good. I got the mango lassi drink too which was strong yet good. id come back, the music was good too.

    If you're into strong (and I mean STRONG) frozen drinks and fun decor, you'll love Nacho Borracho! It's one of my favorite places to randomly pop into. The staff is exceptionally nice and the always greets you upon entering. I always end up grabbing a mango marg, but I love their seasonal/rotating drink menu too. You can also order non-frozen drinks (but that's no fun!) I love looking at the random stickers in the booths. Seems like there's something new every time. They also recently got a new food menu - I have yet to try but I saw an order of nachos come out and yummmmmm. Next time for sure. FYI - Currently requiring proof of vaccination

    Date night My Buddy Ryan's place, best Mexican food I've had here in Seattle, T'juana Tacos try it you'll not be disappointed

    Pink Guava Moscow Mule and 3 Carnitas tacos
    Jon C.

    I got the Pink Guava Moscow Mule and 3 Carnitas tacos. Everything was SO good. Pricey for Tacos, but that's just the way it is these days if you're not going to your local taqueria or vendor on the corner. Place was a little empty during my visit, but the place has good vibes and the playlist was REALLY good. I guess you could come here for music discovery too.

    Don't order this. Tequila dark and stormy-- has too many flavors going on, and not in a good way.

    Nacho is a solid spot in a world of rotating bars and taco joints. I think it's pretty cool that a minority and women owned business is so successful in this city. I also love that Neon Taco is one of the first window/pop up restaurants operating independently inside a bar and now a lot of places do it that way. It makes me happy to see business owners being able to open their own places and help each other out like that. The food is great, the drinks are strong and delicious, and the employees are friendly and professional. Photobooth, party room in the back, a few arcade games, DJ nights...it's a good spot any night of the week. Oh, and they refuse service to Nazis! Yet another plus in my book.

    I'm not sure why this place isn't more popular but I am glad for selfish reasons. I come here all the time for drinks and tacos. It's a good place to chill, and everything I've ever ordered has been excellent. Their blended drinks hit the spot during the summer (my favorite is the mango lassi) and the queso birria tacos have literally ruined my life (they're so good we get them several times a month).

    The tacos are so yummy! I recommend the al pastor tacos and the drinks are also great.

    Hooray for Nacho Borracho! I love going here when I can - meaning when I can drag my friends to go with me. The inside is spacious and kept clean - theres ample seating at the bar, tables and booths (booths are my favorite). I really enjoy the vibe here - a little grungy and punk. The staff is always so helpful and nice and one big plus is that the music isn't obnoxiously loud to the point you can't hear yourself think or your friends talking. I pretty much only order the Pink Guava Moscow Mule (BEST DRINK EVER) and the veggie tacos. The Pink Guava Moscow Mule is a powerful and delicious drink that will have you on your but after a few - haha! There aren't many vegetarian options but you will fall in love with the tacos. It's overstuffed and packed with flavor.

    Yummy Nachos & Exotic Drinks are enjoyed here under Lille colorful flags.

    Every Day Feels Like Cinco De Mayo! SITREP Oh my god. Props to my sweet friends Kate & Kimber for turning me on to this spot with my recent trip back to Seattle. If you have got the "munchies" then your cabana ship has sailed in. THE SETUP There was so much to enjoy at this yummy stop. * First off, they use great traditional Mexican cheese for their nacho cheese sauce, and it's to die for. * The chips are made fresh and always hot - any combo of toppings you want, from beans, to beef, to peppers, make it how you want, though there combo deals dial in the best prices from $9-$12. * The salsa is always fresh and has the tongue (and the rest of body) sweating from the spiciness * And, again, the drinks - the margaritas - are top notch with the best tequila and make you feel like you've been at a fiesta all day. * Avocado Margaritas, where you been all my life? This place knocked my socks off. THE LOWDOWN If you have a hankering & craving for nachos, then this is your mecca!

    Dear world, This review is for the bar. I've been here twice and I tend to see a pattern of sass with the bartenders. Not regular bartender sass (I used to bartender as well), but a bitter I-hate-my-job-so-I'll-retort-like-an-uncalled-asshole sass. But it's fine, I got my drinks and sat to wait for the delicious Neon Taco food to arrive. Love, Erika. P.S.: The Avocado Margarita sounds good. Don't get it. It doesn't taste like Avocado at all, but does have that tangy, shitty mix taste that is reminiscent of a bad college weekend in Tijuana.

    I was craving for neon tacos, but to get to neon tacos you, must go inside of nacho borracho. We made a stop at the bar for a few drinks. The service was nice, interior is absolutely alive with lightings hanging from the ceiling it made me felt like, I was on vacation in mexico sipping on their tequila slush on a summer night..... They have tequila slushy machine!!!! I never made it to neon tacos haha it just means it'll give me another reason to come back!!!!

They kept asking us if we wanted to order another drink even though we were still working on our first ones. We had a reservation for three and they gave us two chairs and a barrel to sit on even though the other tables all had chairs. I'm not sure what was going on but it all felt very interesting.

I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!

We shared a salad, the steak arepa, and the pork arepa. The salad they had on the menu wasn't updated but they had a summer salad with watermelon and it was refreshing and great! The arepas tasted great but were pretty heavy, I think probably because of the sauce. But there wasn't really any way to avoid the sauce. Even splitting amongst three people it was a lot- I think it was still good to try, I liked the steak more than the pork, but I would've only ordered one in the future.
