I just came back from Chile, where I tried a pisco sour for the first time, and this one tasted just like the one I got in Valaparaiso. The reason my friend chose this place is the best part. She said the owner uses some of the proceeds to help feed people in the city who are food insecure. I love that. Makes every penny spent totally worth it. To top it off, the staff was wonderful. They were attentive and pleasant and made us feel at home.

We found our way to Mojito because they were in Seattle Met's best 50 restaurants list. Located in…read morethe Maple Leaf neighborhood across from the local park, Mojito is a Latin-inspired restaurant featuring flavors of Cuba, Caribbean, and Latin America. Luam Wersom, the owner, greets and waits on diners. The restaurant is charming and well-sized. Arriving early, we readily got a table. The food is flavorful, though I can't vouch for the authenticity. They offer two house-made hot sauce, one of which has habanero. The server said, "A little bit goes a long way." It has a kick but maybe 3.5-stars kind of spicy, toned-down spiciness for the American palate. Our server did a great job answering my questions. The Food: Arepa, with shredded beef, $7 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Venezuelan corn cake. Choice of ham and cheese, shredded beef, or pork These freshly made meat pockets are about 4" diameter, well-stuffed, and tastes great with the house hot sauces. Camarones Carmen Miranda (appetizer), $17.50 - 5 Stars Menu: Shrimp sautéed with grilled pineapple, mango, bell peppers and Cachaça, with tostones This appetizer version is my perfect dish - protein and produce. This reduced portion of the entrée size has 8 jumbo prawns! The flavors are savory, but also refreshing from the salad and fruits. The tostones are surprisingly filling. La Jefa, with chicken, $17.50 - 3.5 Stars With a choice of protein, this sandwich went home instead since the two small plates were well-sized. They use a Macrina bakery roll (nearby) to make these well-stuffed sandwiches. Though tasty, this dish didn't stand out as a Latin dish other than the tostones and mild guasacaca. Tierra Y Mar, $37 - 4 Stars This surf and turf dish is from the January specials menu -grilled octopus, NY strip steak, shrimps, with chimichurri sauce. The octopus is phenomenal - perfectly grilled, flavorful, and large. Next best are the two shrimps. The steak is grilled correctly but itself didn't have much flavor. The chimichurri sauce was lacking flavor, too. After dismissing my idea of pouring the light hot sauce on the steak, hubby did it and concluded the steak was much better. Lol.

Located by the troubled part of Aurora Ave N, they are a nice refuge from the chaos often happening outside their doors further down the street. It seems this restaurant could add an outside grill and drinks and there would be an incredible party. The staff seem to tone down the current atmosphere. Would love to have a grilled meat, arepas and drink cerebration. Just feel the staff are holding back on meat and drink party time. Or, it is just my wistful thinking about what happens when they close. First,I ordered the Guacamole and chips. Ooh, guacamole was freshly made to order and so good. I inhaled this. Found this fresh and delicious. Probably not South American, but I have no clue. Ordered some Arapeas, these were nicely filled with different meats and cheese. Could have made a meal of these, they were fresh, handmade and cooked to order.Love any type of cornmeal deliciousness. Next, had ://www.yelp.com/menu/el-patio-seattle/item/bandeja-paisa. It appears meat is well done in South America. Delicious, but quite chewy. So I enjoyed this place, to come and have home style food. I was given great service and even better food. Nice atmosphere. Bright and happy, transforms you from gloomy Seattle to a place of warmth. I refrained from ordering more drinks and coaxing staff into an impromptu party. I'm impressed with their food and drink selections.

The other 3 members of my party all had Bandeja Paisa, which is apparently a most traditional Colombian dish. I wanted to change things up so I had the deep fried tilapia (Mojarra Frita). The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, moist and flaky, paired with coconut rice and a very fresh salad. I tried a sample of everything from the Bandeja Paisa, all of it was well executed. A few margaritas and a couple of mojitos helped liven up the celebration, and our server remained very attentive throughout the evening. I did notice that every other guest throughout the evening appeared to be of Colombian descent, always a sign that you have found the authentic version of the traditional food. Definitely a place that you should try.

Despite our requests, they didn't turn down the volume of the mic. Having that atmosphere for trying to have a meal was an extremely negative experience. Food is okay. Service is okay. Veggie burrito had way more rice than actual veggies. Even the fajita dish had more veggies. The 2 person fajitas were a complete scam. The one person fajita had the same amount of rice, beans, and pico, which was ridiculous considering you pay twice as much for the 2 person fajitas. You only get like 30% more meat for the 2 person fajitas and they were quite stingy with the tortillas (had to ask for tortillas multiple times just to only get 5 tortillas for the 2 person fajitas). In addition, the grilled portion was over salted and hard to eat without the tortillas. Servers didn't give us the check after asking more than 3 times. Maybe a bit too pricey. We paid too much money and even we paid in losing our hearing. Never eating here again.

Nice hot sauce selection, dried peppers, beverages, pan dulce, and meats and cheeses. The store isn't very large and aisles are short and tight, but selves are well stocked and organized. There is also hot food in the back, like a small restaurant. The food is buffet style so you just walk up to the counter and let the server know what you want. I got a chili relleno with rice and beans. I also got some of their carnitas. The chili relleno was delicious and made in the traditional way. I really enjoyed eating that. Rice and beans were not the best that I had, but were decent. Their tamales are also very good. They are seasoned well and the masa is tender. I wish I had something positive to say about the carnitas, but I don't. That was my least favorite. They were very dry and almost crispy when I had them and lacked flavor. I might have come on a bad day for those. If you want cabeza, they have that there a part of the buffet as well. There is parking available on the south side of the building and in the back. The owner is super nice, friendly, and helpful. I was looking for a specific hot sauce for my sister and asked him about it. He didn't have the brand I was looking for, but recommended a similar one. I trusted his rec and bought it. My sister loves it and now she has a new favorite and wants more. Great place to support!
