El Chupacabra

I love the jalapeno poppers here so much! Best poppers around by far! I'm pretty sure no kids allowed it had signs saying 21 or older. The parking was a little hard to find for me but it was dark out and during rush hour so I bet it's not usually that difficult. I really love this place and the vibes here. I wish I took pics of my food to post but I didn't think of it until after I ate it lol!

I’ve gone late at night to sit at the bar with a girlfriend and have a drink at the end of a long week. I’ve gone at dinner time with family to enjoy a really delicious and filling meal when we didn’t feel like cooking. The prices are reasonable at $15 a burrito and $3 for chips and delicious salsa. The dips are fantastic and filling. If you don’t believe me try the queso dip, and the black bean dip. The nachos are an outstanding option here, and seemingly irresistible: it’s impossible for people not to reach over and enjoy it with you. Try it with the Carnitas, if you are not a vegetarian. If you don’t, normally, I would highly recommend you try having a burrito wet. Ask for both green and red sauce is. The fish burrito is excellent and comes with a white cheese sauce akin to the queso. And when, in doubt order the scratch margarita. But if you can handle some heat, the jalapeño margaritas, my favorite. Great outdoor area for eating if you’re concerned about being indoors. Heating and comfortable.

One of my favorite spots for Mexican food in Seattle! I've been to El Chupacabra about a dozen times and it keeps delivering great food. Everything I've tried here is delicious! As a vegetarian, I love that there are so many options for meat-alternatives. Their homemade salsas are phenomenal and their margaritas are amazing!

Decent Mexican place in a city where I feel like sit-down Mexican restaurants aren’t common! I got a wet burrito, which unfortunately did not come with rice and beans on the side. Chips and salsa also cost extra. In general, I feel like this place is good, but a little on the pricier side due to the ala cart way of ordering. It’s a great spot for a casual date (they play some rock and grunge), and have some interesting drink options that I’m curious to try. Outdoor seating is a plus too!

Tacos are really nice and juicy with a solid meat portion. I got the 3 tacos. I love that they label the GF and Vegan items. It makes me feel confident it what I'm ordering. My friend ordered the Torta. He said it was delicious but not as good as a random taco truck he stopped at on the way home from Leavenworth this summer. The group really loved the Jalapeño poppers and the kids gobbled up the adult portion of cheese quesedilla. I like the Alki Beach location better, for the view, but this is a great option when coming from the north. The staff were very friendly and accommodating! Will definitely be back. Thanks Pheobe!

Meh. The salsa was super runny, it was impossible to get any salsa to stay on the chip so it was like dipping your chip in salsa water. It was strange. I didn’t mind the guacamole but my friend thought it was too much lime. We over heard the table next to us say the same thing. The queso was delicious. Rice and beans had no flavor. Tacos were okay. Drinks were fine. Service was fine, they were super busy, could use some more help. The dessert we got was tortilla strips with cinnamon sugar and Carmel, this was delicious but got boring and dry immediately without anything to dip or a scoop of ice cream. Over priced for the quality of food. So plain. Probably Won’t be returning - (Nov. 2022) I returned….. at least 3 times since my original visit. The salsa seemed to have been a fluke, it’s been delicious every other time. I refuse to fork over the money to try the guacamole again, $5-$6 just doesn’t seem worth it. The Queso is good. Enchiladas are good, cheese and carnita. On one occasion the waitress offered us the choice of green or red sauce or both; I got half and half and discovered I prefer the green! They only offered that on one visit. The margaritas are consistently good. Love the option for outdoor seating. They are not dog friendly, so this really brings the environment down. It’s a very small restaurant so I do actually understand. Maybe dogs under 20lbs? 😂

Decent spot for tacos. I tried 3 different tacos as a take out and they turned out pretty tasty and well sauced. It is great that they open late as well. I am not a fan of is how loud it gets inside (This is coming from someone who did not dine-in. Only went there to pick up food). However, some could argue that it is a very family friendly atmosphere for people with young kids.

I've been going here for years! The burritos are huge and so good. All the delicious flavors all together in one wrap. Count me in! When I need a burrito fix this is my place! It's small inside so you may have to wait a bit. They also have an outdoor patio which is lovely when the sun comes up. I love their homemade salsas and sauce that comes on the burritos. Get your burrito wet! They also have happy hour daily from 4-6 & 10-midnight daily.
