El Borracho Pike Place Market

This place is 💯 plant based but doesn't taste it. We got the beefy shorty with guacamole added. Omfg so good! I'd go again and again.

Worth the trip. Was good. Downside is they don't make their own chips. Guac was good. Tacos are pricey but good.

I just recently moved (31st of October) from Chicago with my wife and haven't had a chance to check out any tacos in Seattle as of yet, until today. I had the Al Pastor & Chorizo Tacos and taco platter (refried beans & rice) for a late lunch along with chips and salsa. The food arrived super quickly which was good and was demolished with similar speed. Definitely tasty and will be returning. Unfortunately, we arrived around 3:15 or 3:30 and were very hungry and didn't want to wait for Happy Hour (4-7 M-F). Happy Hour seems to be a tremendous deal (tacos ranging from $1.15 to $2.17 / each). The $2.17 Happy Hour price is for Pescado, barbacoa, & soyrizo (vegan chorizo). The prices aren't bad by any means for the normal menu, it's just the happy hour prices are exceptionally nice. The only catches on the Happy Hour pricing it seems are as follows: no to go orders, no separate cheques (can split with multiple payment methods), and you must order a drink (assuming this means alcoholic or soda). Either way -- food was tasty and arrived quickly. Will be back.

Lovely vegan hang with a bar. Great staff. I just got a beer and chips but I have heard great things about the food.

Menu is completely different from takeout menu. Staff got annoyed with us when we had issues ordering and no way to order water from takeout menu either. Menu should be consistent and they should have a better ordering process. The restaurant has a bit of a stressful environment overall in general. The food is good but a bit pricey and they completely mixed up our order.

Had the Birria burrito it was delicious. I ordered it with guacamole I think i had a tbsp I couldn't taste it at all in the burrito. I would go back but would mention to them before I order from there again.

We were so happy to find a 100% vegan restaurant so close to Pike Place Market. They had a a variety of gluten-free options, and given the locations, reasonable prices. The food tasted great, and came out quickly (when we were there they had contactless ordering on our phones). We also appreciated that El Borracho is focused on sustainability. In addition to all their food being 100% plant-based, food was served in compostable containers. Always happy to support forward-thinking restaurants like this one.

Waitress was nice, food was great. Check out the soyrizo con papas burrito (with the green rice)-- a huge burrito that can feed two hungry people. Lots of vegan options, tasty sauces, and $4 margaritas. 🌯

First of all, for my one and only day in Seattle on this trip, the weather couldn't be more perfect (see attached photos of Space Needle and the weather here this afternoon, as I sip on my Arnold Palmer - also pictured, along with the Nachos - yum! 😋) Honestly, at first I was a little turned off when I first walked in, and no one on staff acknowledged my presence for a few minutes and I did consider leaving, but something told me to give this place a chance. So, I walked over to the bartender and asked him who I had to talk to, to get seated outdoors, and he said, "Me." Not sure if he had seen me when I initially walked in, but if management reads this, you may want to train your staff to improve on their customer service skills, especially where first impressions are concerned. Reading some of the other reviews on this place, I think a couple of other customers were turned off by the service (or lack thereof) as well. In terms of how one places their order, it's all very tech/smartphone oriented. Once you're seated at your table, you're asked to scan the QR code there and place your order. Pretty simple process overall, even when I encountered a slight glitch but persevered on, even customizing my nachos to not include jalapeños, which give me the hiccups (don't ask) while noting that it asks if you want to tip your waitperson as you place the order, and decide how much in advance....excuse me, but how am I supposed to decide how much of a tip to leave when I haven't had an opportunity to gauge the quality of the service throughout, first impressions notwithstanding? I almost begrudgingly opted to do the standard 20% in advance and hoped for the best. Being that my total bill still came to under $25.00, I reasoned that it wouldn't be a huge loss had I been disappointed, and I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my order was brought out - first the Arnold Palmer brought out by the bartender himself, and almost immediately thereafter my nachos were brought out by another staff person. I will say this: the nachos were satisfying and flavorful, despite the vegan melted cheese and vegan sour cream having a slightly watery texture. But overall, I was happy, satisfied, and ready to resume my walk in Downtown Seattle for the remainder of the afternoon and into the evening. Pros: Quick service once order was placed, Food fresh Cons: Unwelcoming vibe initially

The food was fantastic and the service was top notch. The combination of tacos we were able to choose was almost overhwhelming and our eyes were too big for our stomachs. 10/10 - Will come back there again when we visit Seattle.
