Super Delish - Edit
The fully loaded vegan nachos were probably the best I've ever had. The margaritas were also very good ❤
The atmosphere is super chill with old school hip hop - would definitely come back!
Pros: super tasty, good service , great drinks

Great vegan tacos!!!! I can tell this place is loved by locals. Yummy Mexican food- unfortunately they do meat dishes but they have got a lot of vegan options!! A good place for a quick bite and beer!
Pros: fast friendly service, tasty tacos
Cons: still serve meat dishes

Tacos! - Edit
Thank goodness for Happy Cow and for El Borracho near Pike Place Market in Seattle. I hadn't expected difficultly finding vegan items on the menu in Seattle, but I was mistaken in that assumption. I had the mushroom taco and the potato taco. The mushroom taco was a bit difficult to eat because it had mushroom juices, but was very flavorful. The potato taco was fine, but I would try another menu item next time. The atmosphere feels like a well-worn bar just shy of being a dive. The service was friendly and fast.
Pros: vegan options, friendly service, fast service
Cons: bar atmosphere

I Still Dream About Those Nachos - Edit
Hands down, the best nachos I've ever tasted! In a short stay, I went back to order the nachos a total of FOUR times!!! El Borracho makes vegan nachos and even my non-vegan dinner partner loved them so much she ordered some more! If anyone asks me what to do in Seattle, I recommend eating these nachos (I'm not joking!).
Pros: Absolutely Amazing, Vegan Nachos, Cool Spot
Cons: Tiny

don't sell me a soyrizo taco with no soyrizo in it - Edit
Looked pretty vegan friendly with several vegan options. Fellow vegans, we need our protein. Don't sell me a potato taco masquerading as a soyrizo taco. It's far cheaper for restaurants to feed you carbs but I require a nutritionally balanced meal. When mentioned, the waitress took it off the bill; I hadn't taken more the 2 bites.

Nothing special - Edit
Stopped by for a quick burrito. It was fine, but nothing special. Place loud and rowdy.

NACHOS!!! - Edit
They serve the best vegan nachos in town. The burrito is also excellent, but the tacos are skimpy. It gets pretty busy in here. Service is quick. If you're jonesing for Mexican, go here.
Pros: Nachos, Inexpensive
Cons: Busy

Vegan Friendly Mexican food - Edit
We stumbled on this restaurant by chance, and it is now one of our favorites. Very vegan friendly. It appears to be popular with locals and gets quite busy during happy hour. But go then anyway, the prices are a steal. We had vegan tacos and vegan nachos that were delicious. Can't wait to try their other choices.

great lunch - Edit
We stop in here with some friends and had a great lunch. My hubby & I enjoyed the vegan tacos. The mushroom tacos were by far the best. I enjoyed my potato one as well. And hubby also had the tofu taco. They have a salsa bar, but not labeled if they were vegan so that was a little bad. Chips and salsa were good and the pineapple jalapeño margarita was perfect. Great service. Our friends enjoyed meaty tacos and were very happy.
Pros: nice & good choices, good service & fast, location
Cons: parking, portions were small
