There’s general standards and then there’s Texas standards when it comes to margs and good food. Here are spots around Seattle that have passed the test!

The margs are always 10/10 and ACTUALLY spicy if you ask for it. Bonus points that the tacos and churros are a hit as well. We love this spot!
Gracia
We’re always wondering why this place doesn’t get more hype.. but that’s kinda the beauty of it? Take yourself to the back patio overlooking lake Union and scan to order from your table. Margs are yum and I love the fish tacos
Little Water Cantina
The first marg we tried in Seattle and we decided there is hope outside of Texas after all. Go for happy hour!
Pablo y Pablo
Closest spot we’ve found in the city that reminds us of tex mex joints back home. Gotta love it!
El Moose
The !!best!! al pastor in greater Seattle!! They have a trompo so you know it’s real. Their newest brick and mortar is in Ballard but they also have a location in Kent and pop ups all throughout the city. Can’t speak for their margs but I know the Ba...
The Best Street Mexican Style Tacos in Seattle | Tacos La Cuadra | Donde el ...
a classic with multiple locations throughout the city!
Cactus Restaurants
love the vibes here and good margs are a plus! they do have queso to scratch the itch but it’s not quiteeee texmex queso
Poquitos Seattle
First sip lets you know you’ll be nursing a hangover in the best way possible. No frills, live music sometimes and just an overall great casual spot
Pecado Bueno Fremont
Skip the tacos (not my fav) and head to the back bar for a chill marg!
Situ Tacos
Their green jalapeno salsa is bomb, but I personally like the burritos more than the tacos here! There's a crispy birria taco that's on the secret menu? Need to check out their new larger location with indoor seating too.
Carmelos Tacos: Mexican Restaurant in Seattle, WA
tacos are a new addition to the menu here and definitely a little more $$ but you can't quite beat the deck at Captain Black's with a frozen drink in hand. Quesdillas are MASSIVE, but i loved my tacos. They have quesadilla specials on Thursdays!
Captain Blacks
Margaritas that taste just like your local dimly lit tex-mex joint IYKYK
Jack's BBQ & Steakhouse - Seattle
Spicy pineapple margarita, trust me! Some of the better prices around!
Fonda La Catrina
