hey seattle peeps

If I wanted

• Margaritas
• tacos
• on a patio

where should I go?

edit: don't say El Camino, I don't have the budget for them after rent.

edit: WOW everyone loves agua verde. I went there once, waited for an hour to be seated, had a mediocre taco after another hour... and plus it's way out of the way.

Not my favorite place, but Mama's qualifies.

[hotcrab.livejournal.com]

do they have a patio?

[llarian.livejournal.com]

Kinda. They have a few tables outside.

[henry.livejournal.com]

gross dude

[fisticuffs.livejournal.com]

Tia Lou's:
roof deck - check
tacos - check (but not show stopping)
margaritas - check (see above comment)

not the greatest food, but the deck is awesome, and things are cheap during happy hour.

doood agua verde 110%!!!

http://www.aguaverde.com/

all natural, FUCKIN GOOOD, gorgeous view of teh water, outdoor seating, killer margaritas.

[llarian.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally, but its the first thing that came to mind.

[caseyplusplus.livejournal.com]

Agua Verde in the U District.

[spencert.livejournal.com]

The quality is not so great, but I've had a few good times at Torrero's above the broadway market. They have all three of your requirements, and they also serve giant margaritas.

[spencert.livejournal.com]

I'll just take this suggestions back, because agua verde and tia lou's are much better options.

[henry.livejournal.com]

There's Tia Lou's in the 2200 block of first with an upstairs patio, though on friday night it turns into serious hoochieville. There's also Agua Verde on the montlake cut, in the udistrict, probably your best bet though it gets crowded.

[langston.livejournal.com]

Definatly Agua Verde. You can even rent kyaks downstairs. I highly recommend the fish tacos. Way better than pretty much anywhere, and also a beautiful deck.

[henry.livejournal.com]

yeah and maybe you should see somebody about that. they make their ice from an unauthorized water source!

[scarykoala.livejournal.com]

there's place on the steps/hill-climb in the market (next to the zig zag cafe)

[llarian.livejournal.com]

hahaha. I haven't eaten there in years, with good reason.

[llarian.livejournal.com]

How is that place? I haunt the Zag a lot, but I've eyeballed that place a lot.

[endquote.livejournal.com]

I used to eat there all the time when I was living in Belltown. The best mexican is ghetto mexican.

Tia Lou's would also work.

[fisticuffs.livejournal.com]

one time... a Torero's margarita tried to kill me.
we should go there sometime, Spencer.

bleh

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

I really like that place.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

I HATE FISH TACOS

[henry.livejournal.com]

It's not even ghetto mexican though, they just have a big vat in the back that says "mexican food" on the side, and regardless of what you order they stick your plate under the spout and out blorps some mexi-mash. It's wal-mex. If you want ghetto mexican hit up one of the many taco trucks that patrol our fair city (the one at the north end of the ballard bridge is exceptional).

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

BLEH

[spencert.livejournal.com]

The food is bland and greasy, and the margaritas at happy hour are pretty weak, but I keep going back. So yeah, I like it too.

[suxdonut.livejournal.com]

psshh

[caseyplusplus.livejournal.com]

Are you some sort of taco elitist?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

I just refuse to wait 2 hours for any food that I didn't make myself

[scarykoala.livejournal.com]

i've never been there, but i've heard it's average/decent.. shit, it all taste the same to me.

(i heart the zigzag)

[verybadlady.livejournal.com]

Las Margaritas! HYUK HYUK

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

that doesn't even have a patio

[verybadlady.livejournal.com]

the one on 145th and 99 has a lovely outdoor seating section with a view of Aurora and the classy ladies which trespass there.

[ashlin519.livejournal.com]

Dude, come have happy hour with me at Nectar! There's a patio at least and I'm pretty sure they have margaritas but I wouldn't stake my life on it. There's $3 appetizers and $5 pizzas and you get the pleasure of my company

[almosttruth.livejournal.com]

Ditto: Tia Lou's

2218 First Ave

[caseyplusplus.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. For the record, I've eaten the a few times and have never had a problem with the service there. Perhaps they were having an off night/day/whatever.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

too expensive

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

UM WELL OK

[almosttruth.livejournal.com]

WILL NOTHING MAKE YOU HAPPY WOMAN?!! WHY DON'T YOU JUST FREAKING GO TO MEXICO?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

too expensive

[patrick.livejournal.com]

But I love their giant margaritas!

[nonstatic.livejournal.com]

yeah i agree, that place sux

[a-muse-d.livejournal.com]

that Mexican place at the Northgate Mall. whatever it's called. big ass margaritas.

[fisticuffs.livejournal.com]

how much do you want to pay for a margarita and some tacos?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

TEN DOLLAH

[fisticuffs.livejournal.com]

cheapskate!

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

If Guaymas (http://seattle.citysearch.com/profile/41111932/seattle_wa/taqueria_guaymas.html) had a liquor license it would be OH SO FUCKING PERFECT

[fisticuffs.livejournal.com]

I've been to Guaymas one time and it was so so so disgusting and the salsa bar was full of flies. It was the Capitol Hill one, though, which probably isn't a fair representation. It was still enough to scar me.
