El Quetzal - Seattle

This restaurant is a real crowd pleaser. El Quetzal is a Seattle must if visiting and a dietary staple if you live in the Seattle metropolitan area. I have lived in five cities, four states, and two countries; these are easily the best fish tacos I have ever had. EVER. I'm convinced the kitchen staff is comprised entirely of immigrants from the Harry Potter universe because they have to be cooking with magic for the menu to be this good. The drinks are beyond exceptional. After my first sip of my margarita I closed my eyes, and for a second, I swear I felt the warm shining Puerto Escondido sun. If you've never enjoyed a margarita so much that you were teleported through space and time to a beach in Mexico then you've clearly never been to El Quetzal.

First off, let me point out this establishment sets the standard for Mexican food in Seattle. Family operated. Authentic. Neighborhood feel. Service and quality above reproach. The bartenders are absolutely amazing in designing exotic drinks that simply describing them is palpable. Very few restaurants can serve a quality Mole sauce, however, El Quetzal delivers time and time again. Check out their happy hour and special events too. All in all, if you're looking for an amazing and dynamic experience, EQ is the place to go.

Place is awesome. Different than any other Mexican restaurant in Seattle. I've eaten there probably 5 times and everything I've had is amazing. I've only sat at the bar and all their bartenders are friendly and great at making delicious cocktails! You need to check this place out!!

The Tortas are the best food in Seattle. A great local place to eat.

Always great service, friendly staff, and awesome food.
