Long story short absolutely terrible service! Good not bad if you don’t care about how they treat people. When you it’s small and not the cleanest. I will leave my honest review as good is good but rice was not fully cooked in the burritos. So I stopped by here for the first time and you can scan your phone for the menu. I ordered about $60.00 worth of food it got me 3 burritos and cold fries. It took them about 20 minutes to get the food. I always check my food and fries we’re barely warm. I told her my fries are cold and she got very upset and said well I just got them out. Then she asked if I put my fingers in the food! What!?! Yes I sat there forever and good thing o checked my fries as they were dry and cold. Just not what I expected and nothing thinking anything of it I mentioned it. It was an obvious problem as the lady was beyond rude as it was like I had committed a crime by saying something. She grabbed the fries and took them back so I asked her if she was just going to warm them up. She then snapped and picked up the garbage pail and showed me the fries. She left the other burritos in the bag so I took them to drop for the kiddos in the car. I went back and waited for the fries and asked for napkins and now another family member was upset that I asked for napkins. I told her there weren’t any in the bag she also rolled her eyes and said well weren’t done with it! Long story short this place needs some anger management classes and someone to teach them about respect and good customer service. No point in owning a customer based restaurant if your service is complete garbage. I will never go here again as this family run place has a bad attitude towards people they serve. I left upset and shocked. Again they could all be having a bad day or just not care.

8/21/23: Jalapeno and cheese (Rajas) tamale is the best I’ve had. Mole enchiladas and Queso fries are also fantastic but next time I’d order the queso with tortilla chips instead. Chocoflan is good but not in the same league as the previous items.

The food was okay. The chicken that my husband ordered had a weird taste to it. Maybe because of the condiments or even the meat itself, idk, but he couldn’t eat it. And we eat mexican a lot, we love it. My dish was okay, I really enjoyed it.

El Lengendario gives laid back, authentic Mexican cuisine vibes. In keeping with that, the service was friendly but slow.

The chips and salsa are great here. I always enjoy their Burrito Mojado (pictured). Sometimes I want enchiladas and sometimes I want a burrito and this is a great middle ground. The restaurant is cozy and tables are pretty large. I wish they had a soda machine and not cans and the price is a tad on the high side but a little better if you dine in. Overall it was a good meal and great leftovers.

The food was pretty delicious. I tried the Birria tacos and the beef cheek tacos. Both were good, but the Birria ones are the best! My friend had pozole and they enjoyed it as well. It looked legit! We ordered a Michelada plus another drink like a Michelada but with tequila and fresh chopped mango. So friggin good!

This is the best kept secret in the area. Hands down best most authentic food you can find in Seattle. Parking issues be damned! Love everyone here and the food is top tier. The mole is so delicious you will want to come everyday. All the staff is fantastic and really feels like you are part of a community when you come back every time.

Best Mexican food I’ve ever had, both me and my partner had a great time enjoying tacos and menudo here. I never been to Mexico but I’m from nyc, El Legendario beats all the Mexican restaurants I had in new york.

Great tasting food.. micheladas have a are super tasty. Put the star of our meal tonight was the burrito mojado with Al pastor meat. It was incredible. Prices are a little high for my comfort but it’s probably a Seattle thing (im from AZ). Definitely recommend this place!

My wife and I have been coming here for a year and it’s one of the few places in seattle we recommend to other people. The tacos are all fantastic and the drinks are strong. Hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant! You’re missing out on the beef cheek tacos.
