At this authentic Mexican spot you can watch as your tortillas are made fresh right in front of you. The pozole and pork tamales are clear winners.

Vern Lawton

This really is a great place. Gets busy because of that. The food is super good, the staff is really nice and the ambiance? Like I said this really is a great place. You should go there!!!

Eric Tigre

Georgetown's esteemed and very popular Fonda La Catrina is a great place to get a weekend breakfast . Come early for a table and enjoy enchiladas mole poblano con huevos to jumpstart your day. Read more

This Georgetown semi-newcomer is the place to go to watch your tortillas made fresh right in front of you. The pozole and pork tamales are clear winners. [Eater 38 Member]

Lisa Bauder

Everything was delicious! The chips and salsa were delicious and the chicken mole enchiladas were some of the best I've had. Long wait to get in though, super popular.

Taco lovers should get the Painted Hills beef/green pepper/onion/bacon/avocado Alambre creation. Their specialty el Jimador tequila Fresca w/muddled cilantro , serrano chili & pineapple is also great. Read more

Michael Todd Smith

Some of the best Mexican food in Seattle and definitely worth the trip. Brunch is always great and a really nice selection of signature cocktails . Highly recommended

Serious Eats

Come for happy hour (3 to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday) for sunshine and cocktails on the back patio .

Tutu Tina

Incredible mezcal list. Damn good chips & guacamole . Almost everything gluten free , and easy to also be dairy free or vegetarian . Always delicious! Excellent bar !

Eric Tigre

In a warehouse space befitting for Santa Fe's Railyard District but tucked on Airport Way, this Georgetown cantina serves up fresh Mexican eats. Save room for dessert and enjoy their flan de cajeta. Read more

Dennis Nelson

Since it's not on Cap Hill , Queen Anne or Ballard, people overlook this gem in Georgetown. Too bad - handcrafted traditional Mexican cuisine , and house made tortillas . Try the ribs and eggs , or pozole

Denise F

Food/drinks is delicious, looks authentic ! Service always friendly and efficient. House is always busy, but there's lot of sitting places.

Ashley Rose

The tacos are not presented in a way you could eat them with your hands but rather 3 tortillas in a plate smothered in chicken . Odd. Salad is the mixed greens from Whole Foods.

Zachariah Muhlenkamp

Cochinita pibil and tortilla soup were excellent!! Order a side of mole !! I'd skip the ceviche next time.

Liz

The enchiladas with mole sauce and mushrooms were very good. The poblano tacos were good. I wish the mango margarita had real mango in it.

Jo Leavens

Fun and super friendly staff . Sit at the kitchen bar and watch them make tortillas from scratch. The pozole is a must!

Eric Tigre

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo here or just come on down any time. New Georgetown cantina offers authentic Mexican cuisine . Their mole poblano enchiladas de pollo is the best in town and soul-satisfying. Read more

Manuel Ernesto Almaguer

Good Mexican food in Seattle , has a lot of real traditional Mexican dishes in their menu, good place for getting cocktails

Opie Frank

I've been a couple of times but this was the most mediocre, food wise, visit so far. Especially for the price, I really expected better. Lastly it was FREEZING as they opened their sliding patio door.

Alanna Rice

Come for the sunset ! Fonda La Catrina is set above the hill and the perfect place for sunset margaritas !

Jonathan Yagel

Tacos were amazing (I had the grass-fed beef ), and the tortilla chips were unreal... clearly made in-house!

Richard Sprague

Nothing beats the outdoor seating area , though note that the neighborhood is in the flight path of Boeing Field , so it can get noisy each time a plane goes overhead.

Christopher Riggs

Yummy tex mex fusion style very very busy so go there and make sure you are patient and have time to wait not good for lunch hour

Eric Tigre

Evenings and weekends can get busy. Picture menus would help because acoustics are loud and sometimes orders get lost in translation or just lost. Patience required for spotty service and good food. Read more

Andrew C

Excellent Mexican food made with quality fresh ingredients . You'll leave full but not with gut-bomb.

Lacie Thompson

Everything is amazing. Alhambra tacos rock. The bartenders make great and not too sweet margaritas .

Randy Nelson

Try the jalapeño margarita it is awesome. The food is the best in the northwest

Doug Bauder

Fundido quest is great. Mole enchiladas are good too. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Grace Pak

Everything - I especially love their homemade tortillas , and house margaritas . Sadly, can skip the guac though - I've had better.

Alison Byrne Fields

Loved the tortilla soup with chicken : generous with the chicken and avocado and the broth is yummy.

Reggie Gulley

Mole Enchiladas are awesome at Fonda La Catrina!

Cusp25

Margaritas are quite boozy and excellent!

Maria Nichol

The chili infused tequila house drinks and happy hour ! Food is great!

Bryan Clark

Mark Fuller , chef of Ma'ono Fried Chicken & Whiskey , eats here on his nights off. He loves the Pozole . Read more

Julia Park

Fast, friendly service , though seems like there’s usually a wait.

Bradley Denherder

There was hair in the rice and beans like a small wad of it and even the server was shaken up. Basically, I was in love and now I say no beans no rice !

Arash Narchi

Great mole enchiladas ! Very filling and tasty

Amy Robertson

The best Mexican food in Seattle

Tiff Napolitano

Tacos de carne asada and the pepino margarita ftw!

Lucero Pozos de Terrones

Try red chilaquiles with carne asada , are awesome!!!????

Peter Andrijeski

Have the house margarita and ask for it spicy .

Mark Shimomura

Amazing! Mesmerized by the woman making tortillas .

Cusp25

Brunch of enchiladas and a torta !

Bunny R

Margaritas , plain and simple.

Elizabeth Stewart

It's loud , so if you have trouble hearing, sit next to each other at the bar or the window seating .

Rod Voag

Happy Hour 3-6pm. $5 Margaritas $1 off beer . Open Tuesday to Saturday.
