The food was delicious, comforting, and full of flavor--it really hit the spot. I opt for the Fried Chicken silog and my wife ordered the Lumpia Silog. What made the experience even more memorable was the hospitality. The owner was there, took the time to chat with guests, and was incredibly kind. As a nice surprise, he even treated us to complimentary turon, which was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect way to end the meal. It's little moments like that that make a restaurant stand out. Great food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere make Ludi's an easy recommendation for anyone visiting downtown Seattle. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

We ordered a full stack of the ube pancakes, the combo rice silog plate & then an extra side of beef lumpia and garlic rice. Once we were seated, the food came out pretty quick and we all fell in love. Every single bite was delicious and you can taste the love put into each dish. The ube pancakes lived up to the hype! not too sweet, perfect texture, and a flavor that was so perfect. The combo plate was amazing and I could eat a ton of their lumpia. Ambiance is homey and comfy, with photos all over the walls and a lively atmosphere. The owner himself came to chat with us about the food. We saw him walking around and being present with plenty of customers and that added a very special touch. he even gave us a magnet souvenir to take home. I will definitely be going back next time i'm in seattle and cannot recommend enough!

The Cluck Chub 5/5 Let me start off by saying that this sandwich is absolutely massive and messy but also one of my favorite chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The patty was juicy and well-seasoned without being too salty. The other toppings like the bacon jam, bacon, lettuce, cheeses, etc complemented the sandwich well without overpowering anything. The grits were one of my favorites-- I can't seem to find lots of grits places in Seattle. With all of that being said, I will warn you that this sandwich is extremely messy so be prepared to clean up! Overall, the ambiance, food, and service was all very good but I will have to ding a star for the price.

Pecado Bueno in Eastlake is a hidden gem that brings vibrant flavors and a chill atmosphere to Seattle's urban core. I recently spent a sunny afternoon on their patio, and it was nothing short of delightful. The outdoor seating was perfect for basking in the rare Seattle sun, creating a lively yet relaxing vibe. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations. The food? Simply fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. From their hearty tacos to the refreshing margaritas, every bite was a celebration of taste. If you're in the Eastlake area and looking for a great spot to enjoy the weather with some delicious eats, Pecado Bueno is definitely worth a visit. read more

Best fish tacos if you're factoring price, and the 3.50 margarita that goes with it. There may be a couple other places around Seattle with fancier fish tacos but even comparing to places like Tulum and Sayulita, these are really good! They are the Baja style I think but still fresh tasting. Mango salsa is awesome too. I stick to the tacos really, and did i mention the margs? yep. read more

Very disappointed :(…read more The restaurant was really cute on the inside and the server was very kind. However the food was very very bland. I do not know if there are seasonings in the kitchen at all. We got the La Palma fiesta plate and the el burro burrito. To start they offer free chips and salsa, chips were good salsa tasted very tomato-ey and not like Mexican salsa at all. The fiesta plate came with sampler sizes of the taquitos, flautas and quesadilla with bean dip guacamole/sour cream. The guacamole and sour creme portions were not proportionate to the plate and was more like for a single serving. The chicken in the dishes were dry and lacked any seasonings or flavor at all. I could honestly only take two bites of each. The quesadilla had globs of cheese that was also not proportioned with tortilla, I had to take out half the cheese to not be grossed out by it. It was thick cheese and tasted artificial. Next, the burrito was ... atrocious. It had the same globby cheese on top, smothered in the most Italian like salsa. The burrito tasted more like a failed enchilada and I could only have one bite. I would skip this. The server was politely asking if we were sure we were done with our food and I didn't have the heart to tell him it was not good because he was so nice. Advice for the business, please work on seasoning and improving your salsa recipe. I think this is a place for people who may be new to Mexican food or prefer very bland tasting dishes. I would be willing to give this place another shot if they focused on the quality of their dishes instead of the quantity that they have on their menu. For now it feels like a waste of money spent tbh.

I came in for the first time earlier today, greeted with a friendly welcome and staff happily ready to serve us. I've been searching for a "good" taco in North Seattle, and to be honest - the search has been tough. But I think I may have landed on a juicy gold mine. El Taco Loco serves amazing tacos and other great Mexican bites. Earlier I ordered 2 Al Pastor Tacos and 2 Carnitas. AY! That first bite of the Al Pastor was HEAVENLY. Never have I ever tasted such a delectable juicy taco in this city until now. I think I fell in love with that taco, it was flavourful, and the small bits of pineapple added a nice acidity with the meats. The carnitas were also prepared nicely, shredded up and cooked to perfection. I added the green sauce to it just to add a bigger kick. If I only had to chose one meat, it would be the Al Pastor. I also tried a bite of the burrito wrap with steak, which was also very good, but I much prefer the tacos. Watch out [redacted], there is some serious ta-competition in town. Only downside was pricing can be a little high for a single taco like most other popular taco spots in the city, so if you're looking for an affordable taco, your best bet is to go somewhere south like Burien or White Center. But when you're stuck up north, El Taco Loco is the place to go.

I couldn't believe how good the soup was and that there was a kick to it as well. It was probably one of the best butternut squash soups I've ate, and I was really happy with it. At first glance, I thought the Birria quesadilla would be dry, because in LA, anything birria is drenched in a sauce. But the exterior of this quesadilla was dry. But boy was I wrong.
