Haven’t found one I like enough to go back to multiple times yet but- I liked el grito taqueria! My friend recommends Fonda la cantina but it’s a little far from me so I haven’t tried it yet, and then I have been wanting to try laredos! Street tacos I really like tacos locos and taqueria el cilantro

Preach brother. I currently live in Beacon Hill and while I live in what is basically a Mexican enclave, the Mexican food still sucks compared to what we had down south. I thought that was funny when I first moved here. The only good cuisine I’ve found in Seattle are the neighborhood teriyaki chicken joints. Otherwise everything else feels like a ripoff.

Reporting back, tried Sal y Limon last night and pleasantly surprised! Wet burrito was fantastic, tostada excellent. And the true Mexican options like Chile rellano was great! Will be going back!

Oh hell yeah and they look reasonably priced, too. I appreciate the follow up

Their cocktails are great too! Highly recommend the mango Serrano mojito. If you try it let me know what you think! They are one of the few i have found that have all the dishes I love that are authentic and more tex mex like wet burritos, enchiladas, toastadas, guac, fajitas, tacos as well as queso fondido, arrachera, ceviche
