El Farol Mexican Restaurant

Excellent. I have been coming here for years. Always the best food, service and price. This is the neighborhood place to be for quality Mexican food. I have been away for several months and this was my first trip back fir dinner. New name, same terrific staff, same awesome cooks. It is now called El Farol for those that want to know.…

Most comfortable room in Seattle. The folks who work here are consistently kind, warm, and welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. It's full of regulars who keep to themselves, too. It's bright and clean. It's not Lark, Presse, or whatever. It's predictably good food (esp. if you wander off to something with chorizo) with cheap, sticky sweet margaritas. We love to dine at fine restaurants, but a no-attitude, totally welcoming place beats them on most regular days.…

Poor Service and Extra Fees for Take Out. I had horrible take out service here at the restaurant on Capitol Hill.

I was told it was a service fee 'for packaging'. However, I did not have any napkins or utensils - which I realized when I got home. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for authentic or to receive actual utensils to eat with when you pay for their apparent extra fees that cover 'packaging'. A $1.50 is not much but when you are a student, every dollar counts.…

Ameri-Mexican fare that pleases a wide array of diners.. In Short
Jalisco's six locations are a popular choice for the shirt-sleeve weekday lunch crowd. In the evenings, young margarita drinkers fill the place and the noise level rises. All the usual menu items are here--enchiladas, burritos, tacos, tostadas--plus a few not-so-usual items, including chicken en mole. The menu is expansive--it even includes cheeseburgers. Try any of the enchilada plates, or the chile verde.…
