Delicious Breakfast Burritos at Blue Water Taco Grill
My experience at Blue Water Taco Grill was a great find! We stopped in for breakfast during our trip to Seattle and absolutely loved it. The woman who helped us was incredibly friendly, and our breakfast burritos were delicious — full of flavor and you could really tell the ingredients were fresh. We enjoyed every bite and would definitely come back!

Favorite Spot for Quick, Custom Burritos
My favorite place to go for a quick affordable lunch. I usually get a burrito with chicken tinga or pork carnitas, and all the toppings. I typically spend between $12-$15. Everything is custom assembled as you order with lots of options to choose from. The two ladies I always see behind the counter are great at what they do, and have their system down. They are fast & friendly, and maintain consistent quality that keeps me coming back regularly 👌

Great Lunch Spot with Fast Service
My experience at this restaurant, located in downtown Seattle on 2nd Ave near the ferries, was very positive. The service was fast and friendly. The portions were adequate for the price, and the food tasted fresh. I've tried the nachos, which were large, and the bowls, which were average sized. While there's little to no eat-in space indoors, they offer several small tables outside. This place has become a regular in my lunch rotation. I recommend looking at recent reviews, as older ones may be outdated.

Dry chips, rude service, won't return
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I was served very dry corn tortilla chips with my street tacos. When I requested a side of salsa, which they seemed to have plenty of, my request was denied. To make matters worse, I was rudely ushered out the door, leaving me to eat my tacos and chips without salsa. I would not recommend this establishment.

Inconsistent Mexican Spot in the Northwest
I would have given this restaurant a 3. 5, but unfortunately, they don't offer half-star ratings. As someone originally from the southwest, this was my first experience at a Mexican spot in the northwest. The service was fast, and the burrito was a decent size – not too big, not too small. However, the customer service was just average. The food tasted good, and I particularly appreciated that the salmon was grilled right there and then. I do get the feeling that this place can be inconsistent with portions. I wasn't the biggest fan of the tortilla. If I find myself here again, I would probably opt for the blue water taco plate or a bowl.

Rude Service, Dry Food
I went to have lunch with a friend and the experience was very disappointing. The lady serving us was extremely rude from start to finish, yelling at the cook and at us. She also only gave my friend a tablespoon of guacamole without mentioning it was an extra charge. My carnitas tacos had a strange, cinnamon-like spice, and the carnitas themselves were extremely dry. The rice and beans lacked seasoning, and the verde sauce was just a "splash. " While the decor was nice, the overall experience was terrible. I feel Seattle deserves better Mexican restaurants.

Fantastic Lunch in Downtown Seattle
As a tourist looking for lunch in downtown Seattle, I was recommended this place by a customer at their sidewalk bistro table. We decided to check it out. It's a small space, not ideal for dining in. My partner ordered the Carne Asada Salad, and I had the Chorizo Burrito. I could barely finish mine, and the salad had to be saved for later. The food was utterly fantastic. Everything was laid out Subway-style, allowing for customized orders. The two staff members behind the counter were quietly friendly and robotically efficient. I imagine this is a popular stop for the lunch-to-go, office crowd, and it should be. Tourists, especially those lacking good taco options in their hometown, are urged to check it out.

Great Food and Service, Ignore Old Reviews
I come here often and really like it despite the old bad reviews. I especially like the quesadillas. The service is always quick, even when there's a line. They load you up on everything you want and have great seasoning on their meat.
