While this wasn't the best Tex-mex I've had (I live in Texas ) it was good and the atmosphere was cool! The ambiance of the bar is dark and moody. The music was a little loud for my preference, but overall was a good stop!

The place looks much larger from the outside. It's quite cozy on the inside. Our server was great and the food delicious! We're definitely coming back on a Thursday to try their Prime Rib special! Tonight though, we had their Braised Beef Short Ribs - served with red rice (we were able to substitute this for their salad) and smashed gratin potatoes.

Had a great meal and margarita on taco Tuesday. Nice service and the portions were substantial.

Amazing service by Kevin and the cook tonight, we both got the enchilada, salsa and chips, chocolate torte, and we were met with awesome really chill, Ambience, some sensual frames that I really appreciated and the art style was very interesting. Shout out to Kevin for giving myself and my friend a memorable time tonight, we really needed it. Thank you Bad seed, it's what we needed tonight. Piece of advice, always be kind to our servers, and be patient!!!

We've been wanting to try this eatery for a long time. Set in a very cool building (I would love to know the history behind it) almost in the heart of Hillyard, is Mexican food that isn't your usual Mexican fare. Okay, they do have a giant burrito, enchiladas and tacos, so perhaps a bit of the usual. Maybe it's the ambiance, or the super friendly service. There is good music playing and a very vintage Black and White movie reel playing on the wall tonight. Not too crowded for an early dinner. Most likely very busy on the 2nd Monday of the month when they have live music. We enjoyed our meals and talked to David our server about liqueurs and cocktails. We had the Chicken Burrito with a side of Elote, that's grilled Mexican street corn as well as the Enchilada platter. One brisket and one chicken enchilada with red rice and Elote sides. Don't forget the chili verde sauce! Nothing was over seasoned or spicy. A nice departure from smothering something in cheese, salsa or sauces. Street parking only so keep that in mind when you stop in for a nice meal. I'm sure they would love to see you!

Our family tried out The Bad seed last week and it was so delicious! Everything we tried was truly stellar. The servers were really nice, and the decor and environment were really unique and not too loud (even when every table was totally full). My favorite thing was the shrimp taco! Also, the chipotle sauce on the carnitas taco was quite spicy just as a heads up

A few things I would like to preface: I've never written a Yelp review because I never felt the urge to heavily comment on a restaurant's service and food like this restaurant. So these are my honest and truthful opinions. As the name suggests, there were plenty of bad seeds. First, upon our arrival, we did not receive waters nor utensils. However, I'd like to comment that there was one to two waiters serving and taking orders. I understand being super busy, but we went most of our stay without any water nor forks to eat with our meal while everyone else received these items upon sitting down instantly. Upon request, we eventually received the items. Now, here's for the food: the rice and beans had absolutely no taste whatsoever. It looked great, but the blandness and unseasoned food was highly noticeable. I ordered the birria taco plate and my friend the taco plate with tofu. There was nothing special about my plate for I've had better birria tacos elsewhere for cheaper price. After eating and walking out the restaurant, my friend, no joke, threw up the tofu tacos. While it could have been the drink she had, she is very unlikely to throw up food in general and can handle her liquor. All in all, we were greatly disappointed by our overall experience especially since it was for my friend's birthday dinner. Our consensus is that it's overpriced for the bland food you're paying for, but then again, it's Spokane Tex-Mex food edition. What did we expect?‍ Also, they were out of the corn side when we arrived only after 2 hrs after the restaurant opened for we ordered at 6. How does that happen? I should give this place 1 star, but 2 will suffice.

I read about this cute library turned restaurant and had to make the journey. It's a very warm and inviting building with lots of cozy tables and friendly staff. They make Mexican inspired food. When I entered the building I heard the sweet voice of Nick Cave swooning over the stereo. I smiled and felt right at home as I made the connection to The Bad Seeds... As a vegetarian I was thrilled with 2 taco options; tofu and soyrizo. The tofu was the best and truly a delicious taco. You can order 3 tacos with black beans and rice for $15. It's a huge plate of food for such a great price. I liked the queso we ordered too. It wasn't bland but not so flavorful either; just good. My friend got the taco plate with brisket and shrimp. He really enjoyed the brisket tacos but literally spit out his shrimp taco. He thinks it was spoiled and returned it with no problems for another brisket. I loved the beans and rice. Both were cooked perfectly and the beans had lots of flavor and not mushy. We had margaritas that were great and our server was wonderful. It is such a friendly place. It has a rustic vibe and felt romantic even though we weren't on a date. I think the decor romanticized our experience. I would drive back over to this side of town anytime to visit again. It's definitely a fun spot. It's not authentic Mexican food so please come with an open mind and just enjoy some darn good tacos.
