I'll have the maple tacos with no dairy por favor... this "Little" spot is a dim lit spacious bar restaurant with great music and atmosphere... the night seems like the best time to come hang with friends or your date but I imagine anytime of day id just as great as the service and experience we recieved. All dishes are served with black beans and rice cooked in rice oil. Very accommodating for vegans and even more o for vegetarians. The have great signature craft cocktails including their frose I'm a very big fan of. Best part of all is you seat yourself. Worst part is parking and it's a bit pricey.... however you get bang for your bucks!!! Margaritas are all created uniquely and equally!!! read more

This place has good food, but it's definitely not authentic Mexican food. It is much more fancy than that and the price reflects it. This is great for date night, I recommend the chips with the salsa samplers. read more

Delicious!!! The food was amazing, the ambiance is so cute, and the staff was super friendly. Coming from California I've had a lot of Mexican food and this was great. Not super traditional but honestly most traditional Mexican food is bland. This was flavorful and we will for sure return. Edit: The churros are a MUST!!! read more

I'm sorry to do this, but I am afraid this location specifically has some of the worst customer service I have ever had. As yelpers we are hopefully aware that everyone has off days, and there are always a few random staff that don't represent the restaurant well. Bottom line, during dinner I was burnt by the hot cast iron that they brought to my table, obviously it was a mistake, but I was not offered an apology nor was I checked on. I have patience for new staff, but this person just seemed extremely negligent. I am here leaving a review in hopes that someone introduces some table etiquette to training their staff for the future. I will say that all of the food and drinks that we ordered did taste delicious, but unfortunately I left feeling like I had a sour taste in my mouth on if I wanted to come back because I was not treated very well. Since going here I have tried the other location, and despite this experience I think that you should at least go in to see for yourself if you enjoy their food and menu options. At bare minimum I think the atmosphere at both locations is really lovely and fun to be in. read more

There is a large indoor space and a large outdoor space that also has a bar. If you get lucky and come during the warmer days they will open the windows (more like garage doors) to get the nice breeze. For drinks my first was the watermelon-mint margarita ($12) which is apparently one of our waitress' favorite drinks but I thought it was just okay to me. My second drink was basically a strawberry margarita which was better than the first one. My friend and I both ordered the mixed taco plate ($15.50) which includes one chicken, one steak, and one al pastor taco so we were able to try all the different meats. I loved the chicken but the al pastor was my favorite. They were a little smaller though so each taco was gone in three bites (or is that a me problem?). They have a couple sauces that go well with the tacos but are spicy so beware!! The rice that came with it was surprisingly really good and addicting; I could eat that rice all day if I wasn't trying to cut to get that summer body. We also got the chicharonnes ($8) which was good and also spicy but the jalapeño queso sauce was the real winner of the dish. read more

Great location! Great look, unfortunately I cannot say the same about the staff or the food! Ugh, hate when that happens. This was my first visit and it was with a party of 15 ppl or so. Relax, we had reservations 2 weeks in advance. That didn't change the service we received. Our server seemed disoriented and tired. I truly felt bad for her. I had the yam tacos. The day of they weren't very good. The yams were tough and the goat cheese sparse.The second day reheat made the yams more tender and easier to eat. The Spanish rice and black beans are just okay. I took a survey with the other people in our party and got the same feedback. The food was not good and the service was disappointing. I really recommend this place for drinks and location. Save your money on the food and don't expect too much from the staff! That is my humble opinion. read more

I don't remember the last time I was at a restaurant and wasn't able to get past the apps/soups-salads. Perhaps it never happened before, but it happened here. What threw me off was the mammoth steak nachos and then the super hearty chicken tortilla soup. Shame though, would have loved to try more of the menu. Shoutout to the service as well! read more

service was meh, food and vibe were good but the judgmental and unfriendly service kind of kill it

I loved Poquitos when it was located in lower Queen Anne location on Mercer St.,, as they had a very cool building with beautiful ambience and delicious food for happy hour. I went to this new (?) or other location and this building is also very beautiful and interesting, with great ambience lighting. The service was excellent and the food and drinks were delicious. read more

It's difficult to describe the depth of flavor in there Carne Asada but it's one of the closest things that I found to real authentic carne Asada from the Jalisco region of Mexico and I cannot express with words how this food is so close to the original. If I was still legally allowed to dance in any of the lower 48 states I might attempt an interpretive dance that's somewhere between Elaine Bennis full body seizure set to music and Mr. Roboto. I always get the same boring thing: a dozen of their tacos no onions and my mouth has an explosion of delicious yumminess that Shakespeare himself would struggle to encapsulate in a mere 26 letter alphabet. The only thing the store doesn't have that would make it more authentic as far as genuine Mexico is an open sewer within nose shot of the store and seeing military trucks filled with soldiers in the back drive by every few hours. Then you need a line at least 20 minutes long and the rotating spit out front with the sliced meat rotating towards open flame with a pineapple on top but the food taste almost the same. So I appreciate how they've chosen to reproduce the best parts and allowed us to enjoy the food in their store or take it to go for a park or home to enjoy a marvel movie on Apple TV. read more

Best Mexican food and margaritas, great atmosphere, and very clean restrooms. Worth the trip from the downtown tourist areas.

Delicious fresh guac, tasty margaritas, and reasonable prices for entrees! Also nice ambiance and friendly servers. I'm a fan of the veggie tacos. read more

Both meals were SO DELICIOUS! Great for a day with friends or a date! Only things that come to mind that would turn some people off : you pay for your own salsa and chips and there's not much of it & when you're ready to pay the waiter will go through a "we pool our tips" speech that... Well, kind of awkward . Update: we went for drinks -- and those are great too!! Bartenders are super cool. read more

I came in with my GF for a table in the atrium. Was told it would be a 30-45 minute wait. No problem. This happened at 6:33pm. A buddy of mine who we were meeting came to the restaurant at 6:47 and placed the same reservation.10 minutes later his table was ready. After we were seated in the atrium and already placed our order, only then do I receive notice that my SAME reservation was finally ready. There is only one major difference between us..... Smh read more

Decent place if you like a large crowd atmosphere. Came here on a Saturday night for couple of drinks with my friends. It was pretty packed, but we did find a table with the fire pit to sit at. Service was very attentive and friendly even it was busy. That was a plus! We all ordered some Margaritas, and we ordered one order of chip and avocado to share. Surprising their avocado dips is really good and fresh. Taste like they just made it or something. It was a fair portion too. One thing I do like to point out is that why would they pass out their "Happy Hour Menu" to us on a Saturday night, when HH is only for Sunday thru Thursday!? I got the Fresco strawberry margarita. It was very fruity, maybe too much juice. I can't taste the liquor much? Maybe, just whoever was making my drink. I didn't order any of their food, I wasn't hungry. I saw couple orders was brought out to other tables, the portion for the entrees were small lol. Well, I'm glad the chip and avo/salsa was still fair. This place give me more vibes of a place to gather and hang out. But for Authentic Mexican food, not my spot. Just a note for Mexican cuisine lovers. You should definitely knows about this. Any Mexican restaurants I been to they serve you chip and salsa first and its FREE with different kind salsa and as well the refried bean. So, Poquitos made be a Mexican Restaurant, I just wouldn't come here for Mexican food. read more

The tacos and drinks are delicious! Especially the frozen pina colada which is so addicting and refreshing. Love the watermelon and feta salad too. The service is rather slow - it's hard to get ahold of people and the ambiance is comforting. One of my gripes is the price... some items seem a bit overpriced read more

Ended up at this place because I made a wrong turn looking for a different Mexican restaurant. Not sad I made the mistake. Service was friendly and quick. They have a Poquitos margarita that is very tasty, Started off with guacamole and home made chips. While the guacamole servicing as a little small for the price the taste and chips made up for it. Dinner was the chicken Enchiladas. Served with rice and black beans. The flavor was amazing, you can taste each part while it all comes together. I will say the server said the sauce was medium...I'd move it a little higher up in the heat chart, to me it was closer to hot. Not horrible but warm. read more

Once you accept that Poquitos is Mexican food for white people, everything becomes easier. It's good food, yummy and fresh, don't get me wrong, but my Mexican mother wouldn't be too happy. I come for the creative cocktails and magnificent margaritas, and stay because they have an amazing patio space furnished with flames of fire to keep everyone warm. I appreciate the steps they've taken to remain open during Covid, I just wish their food was a little dirtier (if you're a fan of real Mexican food, you'll know what I mean). read more

Bartender approached after finally being told that I was at the bar. He was apologetic for the wait so no problem on that, but when I say "Eew" I mean eewwwww. Grosss. Sigh...the apocalyptic bug in my glass made me gag something serious. See video. And after notifying staff, It honestly came off as normal, barely fazed. Then fixed by simply comping the DRAFT beer. There is obviously some cleaning that is needed and I can't believe how many people are just drinking this shit on tap and not realizing it, LIKE ME. Barf. Never returning. read more

I prefer Poquitos over the other popular Mexican restaurants in cap hill that are in the same price range. Their fish tacos, chicken tacos, and chicken tortilla soup are good. Their drinks are also great, especially the sangria read more

Really really good food. Tried every single plate and not one dissatisfied me or my friends. Rice was really good. Beans were fresh and not canned!!! Portions look small, but super filling. Only complaints are the horchata was small and the guacamole needed more salt, black pepper, lime, and spice. Guacamole did taste very fresh so I do give them that. We do wish the food was spicier but that's just our preference. read more

YUM! We got a few Mexican recommendations to eat at while visiting Seattle for a quick weekend and this looked like a great spot for us. So glad we came here. Everything about it was great from the service, atmosphere, quick seating, and food/drinks. I just had a regular margarita and if was great, I'm a hard judge on margaritas so I'll give them this as there is nothing worse then sitting down At a Mexican restaurant and getting a terrible marg. I had the fish mahi mahi tacos and they were so delicious. Others at our table had the trio taco and the quesadilla and they all very much enjoyed. We started with the guacamole to share and it was well worth it! Hot sauces on the table are great options to add but the food itself is filled with flavor that you may not need them. Service was great, we got seated quickly as there were open seats at the bar. Bar area is a little loud but still service was quick and great. We highly recommend! read more

Great food. I'm a so-cal transplant (invader from California), and I have struggled to get good Mexican food. This is high end with great options, actually spicy if you want it, and freshly made. They bring many things in a hot skillet which keeps things melty. Service was excellent! read more

This is a great place for happy hour. I have been for their daytime happy hour and their late night happy hour. Their menu has a good option of dishes and drinks to choose from. The environment is fun and there are a ton of other people there doing the same thing as you, chilling and drinking. The drinks are a little sweet but they taste good. I would recommend the carne asada fries if you were going to order of the happy hour menu. They are filling and delicious. Definitely put this on your late night happy hour list! read more

Walked down for an early dinner at Oddfellows but not open for dinner monday night. Saw Poquitos windows were open so we went in for happy hour. We were seated right away, server came over quickly and we made drink orders. We had- - cucumber agua fresca- pretty good and the reason to get 2/5 stars. chicken tacos- big old hunk of dry as hell chicken breast. Ate 1/2 of one. nachos plus beef- my 12 year old nephew makes better french fries of some description- odd some other slop $50+ Wont go again, not even if hammered. read more

Being from Texas you can get very defensive over your mexican food. This place passed my particular taste profile for tacos. Had the chicken tacos, wife had the shrimp and we were both blown away! Did the half size guacamole and triple salsa and were super pleased with how it tasted. Absolutely would go back and you should to if you havent been in a while or just go if you have never been. Its a fun atmosphere with great food in a busy night life area. Just watch out for scooters, bicycles and idiots who dont use crosswalks. read more

Food didn't have much flavor in general. I got tostadas and they were fine but no salsa in sight. We also had the appetizers of salsas and chips and chips were definitely bagged ones. Salsa were good and had different flavors. Carne asada was a good size but lacking flavor. Service was good! They were attentive but not pestering. Definitely a chill spot to go with friends or a date. read more

As a SoCal resident who can get delicious Mexican food almost anywhere, Poquitos is up there with the best of them. Located in the Capital Hill area of Seattle, this vibrant Mexican restaurant does not disappoint. The food has delicious flavor, and it's served hot and fresh. I ordered the fish tacos, and OMG they were great. The fish was perfectly fried, and the veggies on top were fresh and crisp. We also ordered the salsa trio and street corn. Both really yummy too. The meat platter...OMG! It had so much flavor, and all of the meat was super tender. There are so many other items that I can't wait to try. Looking forward to another visit soon. read more

Great guac. Great vib3. However. Why vinegar and figs on the flan? Should be sugar. Caramelized sugar. 4 mins on the stove, maybe 5 mins. One ingredient. Azuuuucar. And the flan was too floury, not enough egg yolks. It's not a cake, it's an egg custard. With a sweet sugar glaze, not sour salady vinegar. read more

It was at most meh. The service was very much in line with the siesta mentality as if we were vacationing and time was merely a concept in the minds of some. No one was in any type of hurry! The nachos were delicious and our table finished the entire bowl!! The taste of my kale & mushroom burrito however did not live up to its size unfortunately. It was pretty bland and not satisfying. I barely ate half... NOTE: in case you're like me and don't read allllll the details, their Miami Vice is a blend of Piña Colada Slushee and Frozen Cranberry Daiquiri, NOT strawberry. So here's to hoping you won't be as confused on your first sip, cheers! read more

Me and my woman went here during an outing in Capitol Hill. She raved about it for weeks. Her sister is really into it as well. So we went and I was in love! We got the chips and salsa tray to start. All three salsas it came with were phenomenal in their own way. The pico was amazing. She can't really do pico because of her weird cilantro gene thing but was still able to enjoy it. I got the Texas style breakfast tacos. They were so savory. The bacon was cooked to perfection, the salsa verse was the perfect blend of spicy and slightly sweet, and the eggs were perfect consistency. The cheese sauce was delicious but there was a little too much of it. The restaurant itself was a nice mix of cozy and upscale. There were personal fire pits on tables in the bar which has these beautiful large windows looking out into the city. There was plenty of room between tables so you feel like you have enough space to social distance. Between a margarita and corona, an appetizer and three entrees it was maybe 70 dollars. Killer deal. 5/5, want to go back for brunch. read more
