Great food - awesome service - Edit
We ate lunch here on our day trip to Seattle for our anniversary in September. We had nachos, tacos, and a burrito - all plant based. Also awesome cocktail selection from the bar. The food came out so quick.

Okay Mexican food - Edit
My partner and I were excited to go here based on the outstanding reviews. He ordered a chorizo burrito and I, a chorizo potato, egg bowl plus a strawberry lemon lime drink. We both thought the food was fine. I don't think either of us had chorizo in our meals. Maybe, we are spoiled with Mexican food since we live in Arizona, but I wasn't blown away. The drink was very tasty though and it was nice to have a full vegan spot in the public market.

Good food, bad experience - Edit
I would love to give this restaurant 5 stars because the food was delicious and its a full vegan menu but our experience with the bartender was terrible, he wasn’t friendly at all and after we ordered our food and drinks my husband was watching him behind the bar and he kept coughing and wiping his nose with his hands while making our drinks and cutting limes , my husband was so grossed out he didn’t even drink his beer, my margarita was good but I also didn’t finish it. The food was delicious though, came out quick and the kitchen staff was super friendly.

Super delish - Edit
Tired this out as it was close to our hotel. Loved all the dishes we tried, but the nachos were the best! We added the seitan barbacoa on it to take it to the next level! Service was fast and friendly. The jalapeño margarita was the best I’ve ever had!

Great drinks, good burritos, okay tacos - Edit
Very good overall. Fantastic drinks — they have a full bar. Got their house margarita on the rocks and it was great. Also got the soyrizo burrito, jackfruit taco, and al pastor taco. The burrito was very good. The tacos were a little lackluster, but still good enough. Would highly suggest getting the chips and salsa as well (not too spicy)
Read morePros: Fully vegan restaurant, Lots of options, Full bar
Cons: Tacos could have been better

My secondo home in Seattle - Edit
I think I visited them 4 times in 4 days, at different times of the day ... my husband and I tried the whole menu twice -- the tacos were just so good, so much variety of texture and taste! We also enjoyed the beers and margaritas, as well as the different hand-made sauces. In June we didn't have any trouble ordering from the bar (maybe because our phones could not connect with the Wi-Fi? or because our orders were very easy, like "all the tacos on the menu"?), the staff was very friendly and they even thanked us for supporting them with our multiple visits. For me, this place is a must when in Seattle!

Vegan Mexican at Pike Place - Edit
Friendly staff, had to order online but they brought out to us. Yummy food! A meat eater with us had the jackfruit burrito and ate it all up very quickly. I had the Seitan Barbacoa and hubby had the Gabacho AF Soft Tacos. Really good! So awesome to know everything is vegan!

Yummy food - Edit
The food was super yummy and filling. The horchata was to DIE FOR. I see a lot of negativity (from the boomers…) about the order online system, but it’s really convenient. Gives you time to look around and go back and forth a million times without pestering the wait staff 😂 I will say the system is a little funky, but it’s technology. Absolutely worth a visit.

Ordering was a pain, food was blah - Edit
Firstly, the ordering system was a pain. It failed on me multiple times and forced me to help out my credit card to manually type in the numbers (for some reason my auto fill wouldn't even come up for it) and then kept fishing until I used another card, and reset my order to nothing in the process. We got nachos and burritos, and while filling, nothing I'll yearn for in the future. It's great to have a place near Pike Place, but definitely not proactively recommending it to anyone lest they think this is what it means to have a fully vegan restaurant.
Read morePros: All vegan is always a plus, Food came (suspiciously?) quick after ordering
Cons: Ordering system sucked, Food just felt sort of fast food trashy

Solid Vegan Mexican Food - Edit
Stopped by with friends and family while exploring the area and am happy we did. The owner was wonderful. The bar is extensive and the various happy hour drinks were awesome. Food is ordered via phone using a QR code on the table, which provides numerous add-on options and substitutes, allowing you to fully customize your order to your tastes. Depending on the meat substitute, some dishes are more flavorfully than others, but all still yummy. And they have a little fridge with free cups of salsas and sauces you can add to your dish.

Had no idea this place was on the map, for the name of the place I assume I can get amazing vegan food with some booze, correct? Correcto?

Could have had more flavor - Edit
We had some tacos, a burrito and the chips (nachos) with guacamole and salsa. The chips, salsa and guacamole were pretty good, but the rest wasn't was I expected. The corn tacos had a strange flavor and consistency and overall the flavors were pretty flat.

All vegan and so close to pike! - Edit
This is what I refer to as “sl*tty” vegan food. You will be so full when you leave here. Gooey cheese. Wonderful flavors. Everything is vegan so you can just order whatever you want.

OH YUM!!! - Edit
We’’ve been here back in the pre-vegan days, and we’re so glad we came back and gave them a vegan chance. So yummy! Incredibly relaxing to just order, and not read everything. Extremely attentive service and our orders were faster than could possibly be expected. Now that it’s exclusively vegan, we’ll be back every visit to Seattle. Thank you!!!

Top marks! 100% plant based - Edit
Just had a fantastic time at El Borracho. Me and my wife order the nachos with the vegan beef to share and then we both had the seitan bowls with guacamole. It was all really tasty! The bowls are a mix of hot and cold ingredients, not what I expected, it I loved it! It’s worth noting too that the food came out super fast, which was good as we were both pretty hungry.
Read moreThe staff were super friendly, and the whole place had a great atmosphere. We were thanked by some staff for coming out and supporting the restaurant.
Drinks are good too, I had Mezcal over ice and it did not disappoint!
Highly recommend stopping in here if you’re in the area
Pros: 100% vegan, Great atmosphere , Very fast service
