    Finally got to try this place after driving past all the time. Parking was easy and right up front. The server was super nice and helpful, and we got to sit outside in the sunshine which was so nice. The tacos were delicious, as was the sals and guacamole. Will definitely be back!

    I love this place so much, it was right next to the apartment complex I lived in and I went all the time. The food is solid and they give you big portions. I freaking love the burritos. Service was always very nice. And the ambience was great. The music was a little loud, but presentation and taste was great.

    From left to right.  Pastor, mole with chicken, pastor, grilled shrimp and asada.  Delicious!

    Great tacos and fantastic service! The tacos are well served in a double tortilla and super stuffed. 3 tacos should be enough for a hungry person. Wide variety, tasty and authentic flavors. You will enjoy it!

    Tacos de pastor, carne asada, and pescado
    Scotty L.

    Tacos are about $5 each and my favorite was the pastor tacos. The tacos de pescado (fish) were also good. Decent amount of protein per taco and they come with a small lime wedge. Small restaurant with a small bar off to the side. Drinks range from $6-13 for beers to margaritas. Service is great and the restaurant also has a taco truck!

    Nachos with Carne asada (steak)
    Mar K.

    This place was hopping and packed when friend and I arrived. The server found us a booth, seated us, and came by with water pretty promptly. Which we appreciated after our evening walk. But somehow we got lost in the crowd and it took time before she came back, we eventually had to waive her down when she was at the table next to us. After she took our order the drinks came and then the food came in a timely fashion. It's just that the order was incorrect. One of of us had ordered the Carne Asada nachos and the other had ordered Carnitas. Initially to correct the we were offered just a side of Carnitas. But that's actually not what works on nachos. We had to ask them to redo the dish, not because we wanted to give anyone a hard time but because there's a significant difference between Carne Asada and Carnitas when you're eating nachos. My nachos came loaded and it was fantastic in many ways but I would not order the Carne Asada again they were tough small pieces of steak that distracted from otherwise really wonderful. The good news is that the Carnitas nachos were really good. I would point you in the direction of those. Loved the bright and patterned table cloths. Appreciated checking this place out on a cold and rainy night.

    Pollo con mole poblano
    Philip P.

    Tried the mole chicken here and it was very strong on the chocolate-y flavor. Not my preferred flavor for chicken, but it seems to be popular and well known for this restaurant. Meat was pretty dry, but the mole helped. The staff mostly spoke Spanish, so knowing a little can go a long way. There was only one guy that spoke English it felt like. They were nice and did their best to adapt and adjust if they had a language barrier. I had a pretty late lunch when I went here for dinner so I couldn't finish my platter. They give you a pretty good amount of mole chicken, so you'll be having more meat than carbs. Totally worth the price. The place was kind of small, but they had enough seating to fit 10 tables or so. Definitely has a dive type of feel to it. Would recommend coming here if you need a meal to go with your drink. I do have to say that their restroom was very clean. Honestly impressed that they put so much effort in keeping it clean and working for the customers. Rarely see that even at fancier restaurants. So props to this place. Try to bring cash with you if you come here. There's a service charge if you pay by card. If I do try this place again, I think I'll actually get tacos and beer next time. Seems like that would be the reasonable thing to do since that's the name of the place.

    Top left Baja, right Shrimp, bottom Nopales
    Patrick V.

    FOOD TRUCK REVIEW: Super friendly crew and 10 minute turn around for 3 different tacos. It's hard to find solid tacos in the Caucasian Mecca of Seattle, but these are more than passable. Nopales con huevos - Honestly the best texture of the bunch. Needed a kiss of the habanero salsa and lime but it was the best one imo. (Maybe just because I ate it first and was hungry af) Camarones - The shrimp was cooked properly but didn't really stay inside. Super cheesy oily birria style taco without the jus. Decent Pescado (Baja) - This was pretty 9/10 only critique is the battered fish didn't have that rich fluffy crunch. It was still great and super close to a proper San Diego Baja taco.

    Salsa & Chips, Guacamole ($8)
    Wendi K.

    Awesome Mexican food and drinks in a cool and casual but also trendy atmosphere. Great bar and great portions. Complimentary THICK cut tortilla chips with the FRESHEST salsa. Drinks: -Jalapenarita ($12): Marg with jalapeno infused tequila. This one has a KICK! -Oaxacarita ($11): Mezcal, Lime juice, and OJ. I love mezcal and this drink was awesome Food: -Guacamole ($8): SUpER fresh and amazing with chunks of fresh avocado. -Enchilada Trio ($18): Delicious. Loved the trio of sauces and the mole was amazing. SO excited to come back and try more menu items like the elote and tacos. Also saw a pizza birria item that looked yummy and creative.

The food here genuinely tastes like home cooking fresh, flavorful, comforting, and made with love. I ordered the carne asada plate, and I enjoyed every single bite. Seriously, there was no polite little "I'm full" moment happening here. It was absolutely delicious! Hubby ordered the chicken with soup, and he enjoyed every bite of his meal too. When both of us are sitting there happily eating and barely talking because we're too busy enjoying the food, you know the restaurant did something right! And the best part? We still had enough leftovers to become tomorrow's lunch, and somehow the bill was very reasonable. Delicious dinner and tomorrow's lunch without spending a fortune? That's my kind of math! The service was wonderful too. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and especially thoughtful about my gluten allergy, which I really appreciated. It's always nice to be able to relax and enjoy your meal without feeling like you're conducting a full investigation into every ingredient. The atmosphere is casual but still really nice and inviting perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner. They also have Happy Hour every day from 3-5 PM, which I definitely want to come back and check out. I don't drink alcohol, so my version of Happy Hour will basically be: more amazing Mexican food at 3 PM. After four years of searching, I think I finally found my Mexican food spot in Washington!

As far as the food, for the price point, I do feel we could have gone somewhere else and received better quality. The food wasn't terrible, but it didn't quite meet our expectations for what we paid. The biggest disappointment was our interaction with the bartender on 9/4 around 8:30 PM. Our group approached the bar simply trying to order a round of shots. From the beginning, her attitude came across as unnecessarily rude when she asked whether we had a table. She then looked at our group and said, "First of all, we can't have you up here." We genuinely did not know that guests seated at tables were supposed to order through their server. Had she simply explained that to us politely, we would have apologized, returned to our table, and ordered from there. The policy itself wasn't the issue. It was the way it was communicated. Aside from that interaction, we enjoyed our time and really appreciated Jadin for making our experience a positive one.

However, I just found out you can put your self on the waitlist on their website if it's busy. Sundays are the best days to go as it's not as busy and they were able to accommodate a big party. The restaurant also has a parking lot for people to park at as well, so that is a plus! The drink menu is very limited, they don't have a full bar. I ordered the skinny margarita and it was good. The food is authentic and if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, D'La Santa is the spot. We ordered the queso and the rajitas. Both appetizers are really good, came out super hot. Highly recommend. I got the carne asada plate and added an extra mini quesadilla. The carne is very seasoned so you have to eat it with the tortilla to balance out the saltiness.

Still, what we ordered completely made up for it. We had the torta ahogada, costillita en salsa roja, and moyetes dulces and I was honestly blown away. They absolutely nailed the tortas ahogadas.

We…read moreordered steak and it was served on a hot stone, which kept the steak nice and hot throughout the meal. I enjoyed the experience enough that I decided to come back and celebrate my birthday here with my parents, who flew from Miami to visit me in Seattle. I specifically chose Asadero because I wanted them to have the same experience I had the week before. Unfortunately, my birthday dinner was completely different. We ordered three steaks and all three came out on regular ceramic plates instead of the hot stones we had received the previous week. The steaks were already lukewarm, and they weren't even served with the salt we had received previously--we had to ask for that separately. What made it even more frustrating was looking around the restaurant and seeing other tables receiving their steaks on hot stones while ours were served differently. When we brought this up, we were told that apparently you have to specifically ask for your steak to be served on a hot stone. This was never communicated to us. During our first visit, we never requested a hot stone; the steak was simply served that way. There was also nothing we saw on the menu explaining that it had to be requested, and our server never asked whether we preferred our steaks on regular plates or hot stones. How are customers supposed to know they need to request something that was automatically provided during a previous visit? We explained to the manager that when you're paying a premium price for steak, you expect some level of consistency. The manager did try to make it right by bringing one warm stone to the table after we complained, even though we had ordered three steaks. At that point, I'm not really sure what one stone was supposed to accomplish. Our steaks had already been served lukewarm and the experience was already ruined. The most disappointing part was that this was my birthday dinner. My parents flew from Miami to spend my birthday with me, and I chose Asadero specifically because of how much I enjoyed my first visit. Instead, I spent part of my birthday dinner frustrated and watching the tables around us receive the experience I thought I was bringing my family there for. If serving the steak on a hot stone is by request only, that needs to be clearly communicated on the menu or by the server. Customers shouldn't be expected to somehow know that, especially when the restaurant served the exact same dish differently just one week earlier without us requesting anything. Really disappointing experience and a big regret choosing Asadero for my birthday dinner. Unfortunately, after tonight, I would not recommend it.

    READ THIS. I'm very excited to tell you this horrible story pleaseeeee read it. Just to let you…read moreknow the waiter was rude from the moment we walked in.So I came into this restaurant with my old friend to have some yummy food and we sat down. My friend asked for a frozen margarita but the waiter in a very rude way said we don't do that here. Whatever. Very rude and upset my friend. We did have plans after this so we were excited to get our food ordered but this waiter decided to ignore us for a good 20 mins before FINALLY taking our order (place was not very busy) and before he did he'd periodically walk by and glare at us. Ridiculous. When we got the food I took a bite of the hatch chilli rellono (I'm bad at spelling) which was NOT advertised as being spicy. But I myself like spicy things so it wouldn't have been an issue except when I took a bite of one of the two and it BURNED. This dish was not supposed to be spicy at all. It was bad and I had to spit it out. Very spicy as in bad. My stomach hurt a lot from the extreme ness. Meanwhile my friend was confused. She ate the whole one she had been eating then went on to finish mine thinking I was crazy for my reaction. She took a bite and was surprised very much by the spiciness!!!! Her stomach hurt a lot too. So for some reason there was a hot spot. Sabatoge? I'm not against it as when the waiter came back and we told him the story he didn't look shocked at all and even hid a laugh. HORRIBLE. But the non spicy one was good said my friend. I'll never know. Come here at your own risk. Not to mention how hot it was when they had a perfectly fine working ac. The food left us sick for hours. 3/10 ( I gave three since the non sabatoged one was good)

    This has been bookmarked for a while and the only regret I have is that I didn't get here sooner…read more This food is terrific, the vibe is hilarious, the servers are downright fantastic. Andrew (our server) introduced us to his sidekick, who was in training. Love that personal, hands on approach for a mew team member, and Sidekick did a great job in monitoring our table and replenishing water. Have to stop here and express my appreciation for Andrew and how he took the time to explain the philosophy and genuine team vibe of the restaurant. Oftentimes when a restaurant adds a flat 20% gratuity, you get the feeling this is not passed on to the servers. Not so here. He explained that it's shared among the servers, bar, and other staff, with only a bit retained by management, but even that finds its way into their wages. Terrific work environment and happy to see it. It definitely shows in the level of service. But we're here to eat. Didn't take a picture, but one of my dining companions ordered the burrito with red chili sauce and it was very good. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce. The Cantina celebrates Taco Tuesday, so I took advantage of this. You get the opportunity to try 5 different street tacos for the low price of $15. For another $4 you order it fully loaded which is a steal (guac, pickled onions, lettuce, giardano, crema, and another lovely sauce). Each of the tacos were really delicious and packed full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower and the beef. Was surprised how much I liked the popcorn chicken - still juicy and not greasy in the least. Andrew treated us to a round of the hatch green chili. I was delighted because it was a dish I wanted to try. He described it perfectly: a little kick, but you can't stop eating it. He was right. A bowl of this in the winter with their cornbread (which I'm confident will be delicious) will preempt a winter cold. The sauces on the table are not to be ignored either. The green chili sauce was fruity with a little heat, the scorpion chili brings the heat, but their homemade chili oil is phenomenal. I could put this on everything. In short, the Cantina delivers. Excellent food, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun staff, and a cool vibe. I'll bet the cocktails will also be good. Definitely adding to the regular rotation!
