My husband and I visited recently and had a great experience! First off, the ambiance is really authentic, reminded us of our honeymoon in Puerta Viarta. Secondly we loved the happy hour menu! We ordered the Chicken Flautas, it was crispy and delicious. We then ordered the Mole cheese enchiladas and the fish Tacos! The Mole has a great homemade taste. The Fish Tacos were the best that I'd had Ina while! Service was very friendly. All in all we can't wait til our next visit to Poquitis!!

The food was good. We got the chicken enchiladas. I asked for half of both the sauces. Note the green salsa is spicer. Gave 4 stars because the service was slow. We were seated for over 20 minutes before someone came and took our order. Other than that, the food came out quickly. Would go again, but not if you were in a rush

Good foot, good service, delicious flan! The roasted cauliflower looked amazing and the grilled steak tacos were good.

Came here with some coworkers for dinner one evening. I've passed Poquitos while on Cap Hill before (the sign is hard to miss) and have never come in, but I'm glad to have given it a try! Upon arrival we were seated quickly without a reservation. It was a weeknight though so that wasn't too much of a surprise. Service was super nice throughout our whole entire visit and he made sure to check up on us often. Poquitos is super fun for coming with friends or even a date night. We were seated in an area that was dimly lit with fun fire pit tables - wish we had sat there, but the booth was comfy too! We shared an order of the nachos which were super delicious and loaded with tons of toppings. For my entree I got the Baja Fish Tacos which were really good! Everything tasted super fresh and they were LOADED with veggies - next time I'd definitely request light veggies, because it kind of took over the whole dish. The fish itself was delicious and the sauce was too - I would request MORE of the sauce next time! Overall this is a solid spot for dinner on the hill if you're craving Mexican!

Great place a grab a drink during their happy hour. We both got their house purist margarita and we're not disappointed. Were able to grab some seats at the bar quickly and got our drinks quickly. Would definitely come back for a margarita.

not sure about all the negative reviews regarding service, our server was super sweet and accommodating of our party of 5 and quickly split the check for us the way we needed. didnt catch his name unfortunately but he was super sweet! everything we ordered came out quickly, from appetizers, to happy hour meals, to bevvies! and it was all delicious!! will definitely go out of my way to come back here when i'm in seattle again! :)

5 stars for the service alone. 4 stars for the food. My sister and I took mom here for Mother's Day brunch. We didn't have a reservation but we were seated right away. Our server, Desta (sp?) treated us like royalty - one of the best service experiences I've had in Seattle. She was kind, quick, and extremely personable. The brunch here is underrated and selfishly, I'd like to keep it hidden. Brunch items include: chicken and churros, Texas breakfast tacos, and chilaquiles! Bottomless mimosas for $25/person and each item averaging ~$15 - I would say it's pretty affordable.

Yummy food and a nice vibe! We booked a spot here for a large group and came during their happy hour. The exterior doesn't look like too much, but once you're inside its so cool! The lighting is dim, and the space is huge - there are so many tables and nice lights. We were at a high top table which was fun, and had great consistent service throughout the night. We ordered the salsa trio and guac to share for starters. The chips themselves were pretty good, and I especially liked the pico and red salsa. Guac was good too but nothing that special. I also got a mango margarita which was quite yummy - not too sweet and just the right amount. For the main dish I got the baja fish tacos, fried. I would highly recommend getting these! They're made with mahi mahi rather than the traditional cod so they taste slightly more fishy, but I kind of enjoyed that. The fish was fried perfectly so it was still moist, and the sauce and toppings paired so well on the fresh corn tortilla. The rice and beans that were served on the side were also fantastic - I'm usually not that big a fan of these but I absolutely loved the ones here. Great spot for some Mexican food in capitol hill!
