Mexico Cantina in Seattle

SPEECHLESS SERVICE-I have rarely written a review but the service we received left my husband & I stunned.I asked what the difference was between 2 sauces she explained but I never heard her due to how loud the restaurant was. She rolled her eyes & sighed a heavy sigh. I was a little shocked... As was my 11 yr old son.We also asked if my sons taco could be a corn tortilla versus a flour one. We were told "no" & that's it.About 5 min after placing our order I realized I hadn't specified whether I preferred salad or beans & the waitress hadn't asked.We got the waitresses attention & I mentioned that my entree had the option of salad or beans. She told me that she had already submitted my order & that I hadn't specified.I agreed that I had forgotten but that she hadn't asked me which I preferred either. From the look on her face she wasn't too pleased... I didn't understand what the big deal was since the restaurant was fairly busy & I was sure that they hadn't gotten too far into preparing our meal.When our order arrived, my sons order was wrong. He had ordered a taco & he got an enchilada-no big deal right? Wrong. We mentioned it to the waitress & her eyes got rather large, looked as if any minute she'd snap& then she left to get him his taco. I will say the food was good but not exceptional. When I got my salad... I got it with a dressing that I had no choice of-I didn't mention it to the waitress since I figured her head would spin! I also picked out the slimy bits of lettuce & ended up leaving the rest. The whole experience left my husband speechless which doesn't happen very often if at all. I've waitressed before so I normally give the benefit of the doubt but this woman should consider a career change.

Tex Mex style place on top of Pacific Place. It serves well for the masses who don't care about authenticity and pure flavors. Convenient to have a place for margaritas while my wife was shopping though.

The Traditional Carne Asada Tacos are the BEST tacos I have ever eaten. Big statement, but true. Superb meat quality. The house made chips are sweet, making them different and better than those I've had prior. Great service. If I was a local, I'd be a regular here.
