It's my new fave! I've been here twice in the last week for dinner. Flavors to live for, service friendly and frequent. Only a couple of drawbacks — getting in and it's a tad noisy.

I went there a few months ago. Mine and my fiance's food was bland. Nothing special after a fairly long wait.

I have to chuckle when I read some of the comments about Moose. I guess a lot of people grew up on Taco Bell, and to them that's Mexican food.
Senor Moose has finally brought Seattle a taste of Mexico, not just border Mexican food. You can explore the cuisine of Mexico City (which incorporates food from all over Mexico), Chiapas, Veracruz, Tlaxcala, Oaxaca, Michoacan, and many other regions of Mexico. The food is prepared fresh (check out the roasted peppers on the way to the restroom), and is as authentic by region as it comes in this town. Let's hope they inspire other Mexican restaurants to move away from the Azteca formula.

Great food, terrible service

Did they clean that kitchen and scary passage way to the bathroom? It's a Department Health nightmare waiting to happen last year when I went there.

The long wait is not worth it. It was not kid friendly and the service was poor. The food was okay but not nearly as good as El Camino. Drive to Fremont instead!

The food is good…but more of a white person trying to do mexican kind of way. However the food is VERY overpriced for what it is. I mean, how much can you charge for some eggs, black beans and flimsy corn tortillas? Mexican food is actually one of the cheapest to produce in the restaurant industry. $15+ for a small plate of breakfast food…please. You can fool the rest of the yuppie crowd in this neighborhood – but not me! you want real mexican food? go to 3rd and 85th.

As 5 plus year Ballard residents that looove breakfast, this is definitely a favorite of ours. Obviously it helps if you like Mexican food! Very authentic Yucatan selections and taste. Haven't been here for dinner (don't really go out for dinner much) but plan on trying it. Due to limited seating, you will usually have a short wait any day of the week (referring to breakfast/brunch still-in the 10:30a to 1p range) , but certainly worth it!
