    Jalapeño margarita
    Julie D.

    This is our go to Mexican food restaurant. Roberto is friendly and always has a smile. Three crunchy tacos for $9, free chips and salsa. The best queso. Excellent margaritas with a full menu. Fabulous service. Check out our favorite place!

    This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. We eat here fairly often and it's a go to spot to bring visitors as well. I usually get the steak fajitas (which is excellent) but since we finally managed the come on a weekend today I was able to order the menudo (only available on the weekend). If you love menudo you have to try Patrona's. Easily my favorite in the area and the flavor is good enough to rival some of the best menudo's I've had growing up in San Francisco. They have great happy hour deals on both food and drinks so try to come 2-6 if you want to try a bunch of small dishes at a great price. Also worth noting they have actually good complimentary chips and salsa which is a great way to start off your meal. Service has also been great every time we have eaten here and everyone is friendly. I am gluten free and have no issues eating here, they are aware of allergies and are very accommodating.

    Carne Asada Fajitas
    Crissey Y.

    It was our first time trying this restaurant and we were impressed! We shared the carne asada fajita. The beef was tender and juicy. The rice and beans were also seasoned and tasted good. The salsa that came with the chips had a great taste. If we can provide any constructive feedback is that we didn't love the pico de gallo as it was a tad bland. Also, when I asked the waitress about the rewards that I had enrolled into coming into the restaurant, what she told me was not the same as what is printed on the machine. From what I gathered, you enter your number or email into the machine right when you come into the restaurant and it tracks total times you've been there. The instructions say that your 8th meal is free. But when I asked the waitress, she said it was the 10th meal and you get $10 off. The info she gave did not match the instructions on the machine. I didn't deduct points and the food we tried was delicious.

    Wings and 3 ground beef tacos

    We have been here quite a few times. Food is delicious, everyone is nice and helpful. Decent prices. We went during happy hour.

    Chimichanga

    I really wanted to like this place. Photos looked amazing, so we placed an order through door dash. This review is for the food only, not the staff or restaurant. The food was packaged very nicely, presentation was great. Review of food: The chimichanga was so greasy inside, and the meat was incredibly salty. The chile relleno was so tough, and the egg batter was extremely thick. The cheese inside didn't even taste like cheese, it tasted like cheesy scrambled egg. I requested support through door dash and they only gave me a $10 credit, for a $60 order. We unfortunately won't be ordering from here again :(

    This place is located off of Bothell Everett Hwy, went for early dinner on a Friday night. Nothing really special stood out about it and is like a regular Mexican food restaurant. I ordered the carne asada burrito, and my dad the buffalo wings. They were super salty. Other than the food, the service was really good and friendly.

    Happy hour chicken tacos
    Margot C.

    We came here yesterday for happy hour. The place was pretty empty around 5:30 and we sat on the patio because we brought our dog. Service was very attentive and friendly. They quickly brought us waters, silverware, and chips and salsa. The chips were really good - thin and crispy. The salsa had a good flavor but not much spice. We both got margaritas which were tasty and only $7 for happy hour. For food, we got the fiesta avocado, queso, chicken tacos and chicken quesadilla. The food came out pretty quickly and the portions were pretty large. It was a great deal with the happy hour prices. The fiesta avocado was basically deconstructed guacamole. It had chunks of avocado, tomato and onions and was well seasoned with some spices and lime juice. It was really tasty and refreshing. I definitely recommend this. The queso was on the thinner side but super yummy and packed a good amount of heat. It was delicious and I kept eating more even though I was getting stuffed. My husband liked his tacos and commented on how they were packed with meat. My quesadilla was also tasty and had a ton of chicken. But it seemed they didn't drain the chicken before making it so it got pretty soggy on the bottom. It still tasted good though and came with some delicious guacamole on the side. We will definitely be back for another happy hour and to check out the rest of the menu.

    Chimichanga
    Steve S.

    We've had good take out from Patrona several times but had not dined in. I don't like writing reviews based on takeout, doesn't seem fair to evaluate food that's travelled for several minutes in a container. My wife and I decided to grab lunch during the week and had a delicious meal! Service was great, drinks were strong and food was tasty! I love that their chips with salsa are served hot and fresh (also included and not an extra fee for them). I had the Mole chicken enchiladas plate with rice and beans which were very delicious. My wife had the ala carte carnitas chimichanga that comes with guacamole and sour cream and is a great deal for $7! Oh, we both had margaritas and they were delicious too! Definitely very tasty Mexican food!

    Food lacked taste and they totally forgot one combo meal we ordered, so we called them back. We had to drive back for the meal.

We started with the dynamite shrimp and the beef skewers. The beef was so good, fresh and cooked to perfection. The RS Smash Burger is another one of my favorites. It triggers childhood memories of my favorite burgers, just done way better. The beef is so fresh! The drinks are always next level, make sure to try an old fashioned! Great food, great service, great venue!!!

    We had a $50 coupon and my parents gave me some birthday money so we finally decided to try Rare…read moreSociety. In all honesty, we had heard mixed reviews from friends so that had kept us at bay for the last couple of years. However, a neighbor who raved about it along with the $50 mailer I received made me feel like this was the time. We arrived about five minutes from our reservation and were seated at our reservation time. The place was definitely hoppin' on a Saturday night at 7 PM. Our service staff was Makayla (sp?) and Kyle. When we got to our table, it was sweet to find a birthday card waiting for me signed by all of the staff. Makayla introduced herself first and offered us various types of water. She was also able to explain some things about the menu before Kyle (our main server) arrived. She was very sweet and knowledgeable, attentive, and we just really loved her. Kyle was an absolute STAR. She definitely knew the menu, had great recommendations, and checked on us the perfect amount of times. We wanted to try a bit of everything so we ordered quite a bit for two people with the expectation that we would take some home. For appetizers, we ordered the beef tartare, the Caesar salad, and the Parker house rolls. Drinks: Lady Luck (very refreshing, reminded me of a mimosa in some ways) and an Old Fashioned which my husband thought was excellent. For our entrée, we ordered the Associate board which came with filet mignon, tri-tip, and the Denver steak. It also came with bone marrow, beef tallow butter, pickled onions, Bearnaise sauce, steak sauce, and a Santa Maria salsa. It was explained to us that this board had Wagyu beef while the Executive had more ounces of meat and dry aged steaks. Both boards come with a fillet, bone marrow, and all of the sauce accompaniments. We also ordered the whipped potatoes and the broccolini as sides. For dessert, we ordered the Butter Cake and the Bananas Foster cheesecake. Everything was paced perfectly. We both loved the rules and the salad. Personally, I did not care for the tartare. The salt and vinegar chips were just too salty for my liking and the beef was a bit tough. My husband enjoyed it quite a bit, though. Our board arrived with hot dinner plates. We were warned ahead of time that things tend to be on the saltier side so we asked for them to go light on the salt. They brought us a side of Maldon salt to add if we needed to which we did. I appreciated that input because I am somewhat put off by too much salt. We ordered the steaks medium rare. We were also warned that the tri-tip can be chewy and it was, but it tasted nice. The Denver was definitely more on the rare side which my husband was ok with by I wasn't excited about. The very end piece was maybe a tad more done, but I tasted just the one piece and moved on. To me, the Filet was the best. Sauces: We both preferred the steak sauce but we also felt like when we were really missing was a sauce like a chimichurri. The bearnaise sauce was my second favorite but be warned that it's very rich. I'm sorry to say it but the Santa Maria salsa tasted exactly like Pace Picante Sauce. A chimichurri would have been a million times better. The marrow was like butter and meant to spread on the meat as such. We didn't care for the tallow butter. The broccolini was the real star in my book! I loved the char and the yogurt sauce was a nice pairing. The whipped potatoes were also delicious. Both desserts were excellent! I can't even pick which one was better!! I would go back for the desserts alone. They also sent me a free scoop of the ice cream of the day which was a peanut butter fudge flavor. They had a birthday candle in it which I thought was a really nice touch. I would give 5 stars for the service for sure! We will definitely be back, but we both agreed that we would likely order individual steaks instead of a board next time. We were happy to try what we did, though, and thought the meal was fantastic even if we liked some things better than others. Loved the atmosphere. It was lively and a mix of classic and modern. I'm very happy to have Rare Society in Mill Creek!

    This waterfront setting is really nice both inside and on the deck. I have been here several times…read morefor dinner or brunch. Today I was on the deck for happy hour. And I was surprised what a nice outdoor covered deck Emory's had. The hostess and wait staff were especially nice to make room for us on a busy deck, I had a hamburger with fries. Both were good. I especially loved the fries as they were so yummy. I know I will be back to Emory's again soon.

    Location Ambience…read more Service Food TLDR: Beautiful location with a great drink selection. The food quality does not match the price so this should be a stop for a drink before dinner elsewhere. Such potential for this beautifully situated restaurant, right on Silver Lake, with a patio over looking the water and perfect sunset viewing spot and yet, such a disappointment. We made a reservation for seven and arrived a little early. We were told our table wasn't ready so we opted to grab a drink at the bar while we waited. As we sat down, a server handed over menus and my fiance said oh! Thanks but we were just going to order drinks. The server took the menus and walked away. We waited ten minutes and no one greeted us, offered a drink or even looked our way. Thankfully the hostess came over and said our table was ready. We sat on the patio with a beautiful view. The patio was busy on a Friday and the bill from the previous party was still on the table. The waitress came over within five minutes to grab drink orders but left the bill on the table. So when she brought back the drinks, we gave the previous check to her. She took our order for an appetizer- the salmon poke special- and our dinner orders- two shrimp Louie salads and a side of French fries. We waited fifteen to twenty minutes before it became evident she forgot about the appetizer. When she delivered the poke to the table, she apologized for the wait, wished us a good meal and was just about to walk away when an additional server came with our dinner entrees. There was an attempt to smooth it over by saying oh! I tried to stagger it. At least your entrees are already cold! **giggle** please enjoy your meal. I am not one to snub food and I was hungry enough to eat anything. However, the appetizer presentation...lacked presentation. It was a poor pile of slaw and cooked salmon with crispy wonton bits. We ate the salmon and then moved on to the entrees. My Louie salad had brown and wilted lettuce mixed in. For the price of the salad, I would expect better quality. The French fries were commercial fries- nothing to write home about but honestly the best part of the meal. I was extremely disappointed with my experience and still try to look on the bright side- my blood orange mule was good and the French fries shared on the patio saved the night. In the future, I know Emory's will be a good spot to enjoy a drink and fries for a patio sunset view after a bike ride or a paddle on the lake.
